Diversity kitsch is all around us. But as the grim fact forcefully confronts us that some immigrants hate their hosts so much they want to murder and rape them, David McGrogan senses that it is at last falling from favour.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I was talking to Tom Mc Cann of the Irish Traveller's Movement about this Bill and the occupation of the Russian Embassy's land on the Palestinian march on Saturday. There are and always have been links between settled and traveller activists, and the ITM is calling for solidarity in its campaigns against this Bill criminalising their culture in the next few weeks. The ITM, according to Tom, is planning a mass caravan camp, and it could go into the City Centre like the Caravan at the centre of the Derry Housing Action Campaign that kick started the Civil Rights Movement 34 years ago!
If the movement is serious about defending traveller rights, lets all phone and pledge our solidarity, and see what the ITM wants us to do.

The Cork Peace Alliance had a meeting last night in the CAZ centre with representatives from the Traveller Visibility Group and Nasc (immigrant support group). The meeting was organised two weeks ago with the purpose of learning about rascism (and general exclusion from society) issues so that the CPA could help organise a well informed campaign. One of the ideas that resulted from the meeting was that there are issues of common concern (such as the act signed by McAleese today) and it was a good start to get solidarity amongst grassroots activist groups.
CPA is also organising a public meeting tomorrow (Thursday) evening with the Palestinian Delegate-General to Ireland, Ali Halimeh, at the Shandon Court Hotel 8pm.
For activists who may be having difficulty finding common cause with Irelands traveller population it should be remembered that this bill will also criminalise squatters, protest camps and hunt sabs going onto private lands.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I've read this draconian new law correctly it looks like that Picketers will also be criminalised?
Solidarity with the Travellers and all the oppressed!
