Ed Miliband has been caught peddling lies in the Telegraph, claiming that the "cost of living crisis" was "triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine". No, says Ben Pile. It's lockdowns and Net Zero that made Britain poor.

Great report and photo essay Paula. The ICTU Misleadership did everything they could to sabotage this demo.
If I was Brian Cowan or any of the other dossers in the Dail I would not be too worried about the anger of the Irish people. You only have to look at the above pictures to see that the protest was just another day out for these people, they look to happy. Similar protests happened before the summer recess were people turned up at the Dial wearing designer sun glasses and sporting a lovely smile as they cheerfully chatted and sang silly songs slagging the Government. The numbers that protested yesterday was extremely disappointing compared to our European neighbours. The Irish Government has nothing to worry about yet as regards civil disobedience. Irish workers seem to just roll over and take it on the chin. Lots of complaining and moaning. I wonder how many of these protesters voted YES for the Lisbon Treaty. These job loses and dismantling of workers rights was foretold before the Lisbon Treaty was passed. Unlike most of our European neighbours who did not have a choice on Lisbon, we in Ireland did. The predicament we now find our selves in was forecast and spelt out if we passed the Treaty. When it come to mass protest in Ireland the Government have nothing to worry about. Most people seem to think that an election will turn things around, not a hope. It will just bring in a new bunch of Gombeen men who will milk what ever is left. An election in Ireland is not solution, its just the same circus with different clowns. I would like to propose that a new clown movement start up. For the next election we should stand clowns in protest at the Gombeen destruction of this country.
