More of it. Now a number of shops in Belfast city centre have put up signs in their windows stating that their shop will be closed on Sat 15th to let their staff attend the rally while others state they will close in solidarity for the rally. They include the large teenagers clothes shops 'Cult' which has thousands of teenagers through its doors weekly. It huge professionally written signs on its city centre windows reads 'This shop will be closed on Saturday 15th February 2003 to give our staff the chance to protest against this Ridiculous war - 'DON'T ATTACK IRAQ'. This was also featured in Yesterday's Irish News.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Now what have those upper middle class right wing so-called 'Anarchists' who elsewhere on this newswire are saying that workers wont take solidarity action this Saturday, or if a war starts in Iraq got to say about this? Their silence is deafening.
let's hope the swp and other far left groups don't use this anti -war rally as an opportunity to ram down peoples throats their own particular ideology. I'll be attending the rally but if some little swp member tries to force his views on me he'll get a good smacking.
As the bosses are shutting down. Not to tricky to go on strike in these circumstances. Maybe you've put your faith in the wrong place and you should be calling on the capitalist class to take lockout action against the war?
Also, why does the fact that some people are sceptical of the chance of a mass walkout tomorrow, mean that you attack anarchists with lies (right wing) and calumny (upper middle class)?
It looks like tomorrow is going to be really large and a real success, but these wild predictions of 30,000 and general strikes are basically pure guesses. I'd love if it came to pass but I know well enough that 8 or 10,000 people would be a huge success, so why give the media so much ammunition for billing it as a failure?
I've heard of him and he is a filthy anarchist. He's trouble. Knows too much, that's the problem.
its a lock out. are the staff being paid?
