Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10RTE always asses the turnout and divide by 3. However if the demonstrators are farmers they doulble the turnout and add a few thousand sheep. Radio Telefis Error.
They said only 3,500 protested in Dublin on one of their "20-20" (every 20 minutes) news bulletins at 5:20 and then completely dropped the story and made no mention of any of today's actions nationwide after that even though they're supposed to be "Dublin's news radio station". Shame! Shame! On them. All the rest of the other media reports were fairly fair though.
The anti-war march in NYC today was huge, stretching for miles. A broad cross-section of people, including an Irish-American contingent, who carried a banner which said; We serve neither Bush nor Mobil.
There were at least 3,500 in Cork, probably more and from speaking to friends, Dublin was nearer 12,000. Do you have to repeat propaganda from RTE, the Zionist station.
Why repeat erroneous mainstream news broadcasts? The Cork march was somewhere between 4 and 5,000. It was huge!
I put the story up just to get FEEDBACK from the various towns/cities. the site will be altered later tonight with more local details. check it out.
wood from the trees. great turnout still a damn shame we have to be doing this.
no war!!!
when will the arabs realise that all they have to do is stop selling their oil for dollars and they will hurt american more than nuking them! Its very powerful and will turn the dollar into toilet paper
Dublin march numbers now down to "upwards of 7,000" on State lapdog RTE's "This Week" radio prog today.
Should be down to 5,000 by the morning if it hasn't disappeared altogether!
5000 is actually more than i thought were there in Belfast- i estimated 3-3.5 thousand. Plus under one hundred at the unreported cornmarket peace party afterwards which was a hell of a lot more fun than the oh-so-mainstream speechifying at the main event. But that's what some people are into, so hmmm....
