The case against 'Direct Action' on Saturday

national | miscellaneous | news report

Friday February 28, 2003 13:39

A few points as to why no-one should pull down fences tomorrow

I'm in favour of direct action, but not 'direct action' in the form of pulling down fences in shannon airport. here is why.

1. It's up to Workers in Shannon to stop the use of the airport as a stop-over place for US warplanes.

2. Hence, we should be aware of how 'direct action' will be preceived by Shannon workers.

3. Large protest march will do more for the workers in Shannon than running onto runways/breaking fences.

4. 'Direct Action' will be ineffective as they will have quite alot of police and army and i'm sure they are ready for it by now!

5. Despite what some might think the demo in Dublin with over 100,000 people is significant and the Irish Govt would have taken note of it (that is why they are trying to split the movement by saying it controlled by "far-left trots" and "anti-americans")
