What the Brexit Leave vote, and Boris Johnson?s eventual triumph, seemed to in the end achieve was only the revelation of the extent to which British institutions have been hollowed out and corrupted, says David McGrogan.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I'm sure that the British MPs John McDonell and Jeremy Corbyn were not prevented from leaving the Parliament unlike The Dail where Green TD Paul Gogarty was prevented from leaving. What is it with this fascist element of the anti-war movement ? Arent we all supposed to be on the same side ?
He was in the middle of the blockade and could see Inspector "animal" Keenan.Had he sat down with ye, then Keenan wouldn't have been so thuggish.What the hell is a Green doing being so concerned about his car anyway?
No-one was leaving from leaving the Dáil. Paul Gogarty was welcome to join the protest, address the crowd etc. He was fully entitled to come and go as he pleased. There is a thing called PUBLIC TRANSPORT. Paul Gogarty could have gotten a bus to any appointments, or even a taxi (which he can afford on his wages!)
I find it rich for a Green Party member to be attacking anti-war protesters for be "fascists". Many of the people involved in the sit-down on Thursday have played a role in counteracting fascists. I'm a member of the Socialist Party, we have a record on taking on Fascists right across Europe.
Simon what have you and your party done against Fascism?
Paul Gogarty shouted 'Shut-up and Listen' 7 times to the non-violent protestors who staged a 'die-in' at the gates of Hades (oh sorry, i meant the Dail)! He also refused to identify himself. Very few knew his name and party affiliation.
Such demeaning cowardice and authoritarianism is most unwelcome. Such projection of moral cowardice towards those who feel passionately (in contrast with the political expedience and pseudo-ethics of our 'representatives'; bar ever-faithful exceptions), in the spirit of non-violence, against Dail Eireanns' complicity in mass slaughter and destruction, presently being orchestrated in Iraq.
So as the non-violent female and male resisters were being forcibly removed from the entrance/exit to Hades (oops, there i go again), the Green Party coward showed his true colours and sided with the 'not so peaceful' guardians of the state.
The State desires for us to have a petty protest, as long as they may have their genocidal war. There is no response to 'Non-Violent Resistance' in the Templemore or Dail Eireann training manuals; hence unprofessional conduct and amoral provocation 30 minutes before everybody would have been wilfully proceeding towards the US Embassy! Well done to all non-violent resisters involved.
In peaceful loving solidarity,
Damien
