Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

Blocking Shell gates
Gardaí drag people away
more dragging
more violence
dragging along the road
The government is shocked at the language of the rapist statement cops. It is unexcusable for gardai to use this type of threatening language against women. To beat women is one thing but to talk about raping them is another.
When police are encouraged to behave like criminals we should not be surprised if they become criminals.
Protestors are lifted from protest positions and not dragged. Gardai need to apply what they have learned in public order training on protest. The problem is application - they knew as from the transcript the proper way to take down a protestor from a height. And I have watched them do that efficiently in 2009, Why change the practice.? Why be so lacking in professionalism? Why are the Garda authorities not present or is there another master, another agenda... such as was admitted before by the Gardai when beating was preferred to arrest.- agenda was not to make martyrs!
The Gardai work for Shell. The Irish Government gave this monstrous multinational permission to rape the land and sea, are we surprised that the "thugs and bullies" in uniform then threaten to rape the protesters ?
"Spokeperson for Shell to Sea Terrence Conway stated: The Garda violence today is no aberration: it has been the main tool used by Shell and the state in trying to force this project on a community that has given no consent.
Indeed. It is and remains the main issue about policing at Rossport and will continue to be so after the publicity glare around a recent Garda incident has died down. Fair play to the protestors who continue with this protest in the face of state violence protecting the ripping off of Irish assets by a foreign multinational.
Speak to people like Kevin and Karen Tracey about what gardai can do when instructed to do wrongdoing including assaults causing bodily harm when the same gardai are told they will get away with it and in most cases will get promotion. It is an outrage.
its shocking to view and read stories about the gardai and there obvious brutality of the public, they seem to think they themselves are above the law, they appear brutal and there should be a public watchdog set up to keep gardai from being THUGS AS IT SEEMS............
Obvious brutality? Why because some people with an agenda make unsubstantiated claims on a website? I can claim that Gardai are aliens, doesn't make it true.
A public watchdog? Like an ombudsman perhaps? An agency with more power over the Gardai than Gardai have over society? Yeah sounds great. Such an agency would surely show how corruption is widespread within the Gardai and have the entire force before the courts. Oh wait, there is one and they have convicted sweet FA Gardai and admitted themselves theres little corruption. Bit of a spanner in the works that...
Stop trying to be clever with the badly constructed ironical bullshit and admit what you are - an apologist who will support the
Gaurds in anything they do, including the rape and assault of protesters, both regularly threatened on the roads of Erris,
a long way away from your comfort zone where you're happy in the belief that we live in a Democracy where we're all equal in
the face of the Law. But if you want to see the reality, come to Belmullet District Court any time there's a Shell to Sea case being
heard and watch the Legal Process being trampled on like a protestor under a Garda's boots at Glengad. Something tells me
we won't see you any time soon.
