The couple who filmed 'Sophie of Dundee' as she brandished a knife and axe, seemingly in self-defence, have been charged by police. Shame on the centrist commentators who piled on her, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5The savings generated from the 10,000 reduction in numbers on the State payroll will not count when calculating monies to be redistributed to workers under the Croke Park agreement, the Government said today.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/0923/....html
Despite undertakings given at the time Biffo has now decided that he is going to rewrite the Croke Park Agreement. This is definitely a foul and its time that Biffo and his cronies were sent off!
The craven ICTU misleaders just sat there and took this latest insult from Biffos messenger boy, Dara Callery.
Come along on 29 September and give Biffo the Red Card!
At the same conference where the ICTU lapdogs didn't bark at Callery a Financier, William Slattery head of financial services company State Street’s Irish business issued his orders to BIffo:
He wants 30,000 public servants to be made redundant and a new lower paid entry level grade for the public service!
These parasites have the neck to go on the attack when we are bailing them out and paying off their bonds!
They have declared Class War on us! Lets declare Class War back on them.
I have great affinity with the thoughts of pat c, but unless the workers rid themselves of ICTU leaders who sat with employers and NODDED to everything that the government proposed - and intended - the public service will be decimated. These, apparently, very sincere ICTU leaders will nod wisely and claim that they've saved many jobs.
Remember - fool me once, your fault - fool me twice, my fault.
So far there has been very little in the media about this protest.
The ICTU site says
... which I guess means they kinda had to call it. It seems half-hearted to me, so it's not worth traveling from the west of Ireland to Dublin. I imagine that the ICTU has considerable media connections, which they don't seem to have used this time.
Perhaps someone could explain why the unions and opposition leaders have not called a general protest that allows everyone to express their anger. Is it they are fear-full of riots?
I think we will be known through-out Europe as a people that are easy to subjugate, as we do not stand up, even to the current madness.
I totally agree with Gordon. The majority of the people I work with or my friends/family outside of work knew nothing about this protest it was so badly advertised. Unless the organisers start advertising these protests properly they will never get the numbers they need to make an impact. As far as I can see it is only some union members that are gettig the information. I am an IMPACT union member and I recieved nothing about this protest or any of the previous protests. I get most of my information from another union entirely because I know one of their members. It's a shame as many people are extremely angry at the moment so the organisers should take advantage of that anger and get bigger numbers by getting the information out there
