These Templemore Rejects have assaulted, bullied & harrassed activists and independent journalists.
Why wont the SP condemn this? Do they see them as workers in uniform?
The SP put up an article saying that they have managed to get a motion through the executive of a major union committing it to take action on the day a war starts.
Response from the fucking magical moron twins?
What about airport police in Shannon? Are you evil Trots even against this war?
Next week: Socialist Party announce end of world hunger. Pat and Trotwatch abuse them about something else.
It's well time to send the reactionary shannon pro US murder machine 'workers' to the trotskyist gulag for re education. That will teach them not to obey the SP.
It is legitimate to enquire as to why the SP have not condemned the actions of the Airport "Police".
Do you, rabit, support their assualts on activists?
Why are the SP silent on this topic?
Are they afraid of upsetting "workers in uniform"?
One of the most right wing, reactionary and useless of all unions in Ireland. They could learn a thing or two from their British counterparts.
Pat C does not condemn the actions of a thug that robbed old dears handbag in Ballydehob!! Shock !!Horror!!
Pat C is obviously in league with these common criminals!
Does this mean that Pat C thinks the thug is decent comrade
Does this mean that Pat C in fact hates old people and want to see them all killed?!
I challenge Pat C to condemn this tragic and disgusting incident of international importance!
Pat C would you ever grow the fuck up, the SP have better things to be doing than issueing press releases to your every whim.
T^hey dont even have the guts to use theirb own names.
The activities of the Airport Police is relevant to the Anti War Campaigns.
I find it very strange that a supposedly revolutionary party is taking the side of these Templemore Rejects. Given the above ravings from the anonymous SP bot I can only assume the SP supports the assaults and harrassment which these "workers in uniform" have carried out.
Maybe if Pat Cochrane left cyberspace for long enough he may have noticed that on a number of occasions Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins has condemned the actions of the state at Shannon Airport. The Socialist Party has never supported the use of the Gardai or any other section of the state against workers involved in struggle or protest. The Socialist Party does not support the use of heavy handed tactics by the Gardai against anti war protestors. The suggestion by Pat Cochrane that the Socialist Party condone the actions of the Gardai and are soft on the issue of state oppression is a scurrilous attempt at mis information.
why dont the SP nuts convince 'da workers' to stop supporting the USA war effort in Shannon? They say the want to lead 'da workers' so where are they leading them?

Yes he has but not the AP
"The Socialist Party has never supported the use of the Gardai or any other section of the state against workers involved in struggle or protest."
i NEVER SAID YOU DID.
"The Socialist Party does not support the use of heavy handed tactics by the Gardai against anti war protestors. The suggestion by Pat Cochrane that the Socialist Party condone the actions of the Gardai and are soft on the issue of state oppression is a scurrilous attempt at mis information. "
Read what I wrote. I was refferring to the Airport "Police", not the gardai. I find it hard to believe that you donr knoe the difference.
The AP are members of SIPTU, D o Heochai said i had contempt for workers because I criticised them.
These "workers in uniform" are the same people that hoechai expects to go on strike. They have assaulted, bullied & harrassed activists & independent journalists.
YOU ARE DELIBERATLEY TRYING TO MISLEAD PEOPLE.
AGAIN:
WHEN ARE THE SP GOING TO CONDEMN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AIRPORT POLICE?
btw
IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE MY FULL NAME, AT LEAST SPELL IT PROPERLY.
Pat you are a fucking idiot. everyone can see that you have some kind irrational hatred of the SP and I would say that you were indeed dumped by a SP member, that's the way it seems to me anyway. Next time I see you drinking in the Bach, I'm gona come over and ask you to try to justify your hatred of the SP

this is the SPs level of debate - ALL OF THE TIME.
disagree with them on the north and they will call you anti protestant.
suggest da at shannon and you are showing contempt for workers.
they will never address the political points made.
