Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6The visit of President Bush to Northern Ireland on Monday should not be an occassion for more violence. Recent events have shown that advertised peaceful protest usually ends up not being peaceful. The recent law breaking outside our National parliament during the week show that even when many people truly want peaceful protest, their wishes are not respected by a small, but very agressive minority. The usual claims of police brutality follow, even when not a single person could produce any video footage or photo of this, despite the fact that there were dozens of Indymedia cameras filiming everything. All the pictures on this site show nothing of note.
I don't particularly like George Bush, the individual. However lets show the worlds media that we are a civilised nation. The man should be respected and if people want to protest it should be truly peaceful. However, I supect that we will have the agressive, violent elements that appeared in Shannon and Dublin bussed up to Belfast to force their view on others in their own tuggish, bullyboy way.
America has been good to Ireland. Lets not damage the relationship that has been enjoyed for generations. Dont let the bullyboys and facists hijack peaceful protest.
and the UK.
Bush laid a deadline to Saddam that cauased us to expect WAR on our national day March 17.
He now seeks to close the "conflict" with more of the "Irish" dimension to White House foreign policy.
WP posting removed
by Workers' Party Sat, Apr 5 2003, 11:57am
A statement from the Workers' Party, condemning the visit from Bush and Blair has been removed. A similar statement from the Green Party (NI) has not been removed. Is Indymedia politically biased?

The newswire was becoming clogged
by Chekov Sat, Apr 5 2003, 12:01pm
with every party under the sun posting their press release. The later ones got compiled together into a single thread. This article should get deleted or added as a comment to the other thread.
And where is this mysterious thread?
by Tolstoy Sat, Apr 5 2003, 12:07pm
I don't see this mysterious thread. And the NI Green's statement is still up as an individual contribution.
I agree that the newswire can get clogged up and that the Indymedia editorial team must organise it, but let's not become partial about it. Please restore the WP statement with a clear link.
I'm not the editor
by Chekov Sat, Apr 5 2003, 12:14pm
And it would be best if somebody were to compile them all together, better still if somebody was to write a feature. Why don't you try it?

We're swamped
by Aidan Sat, Apr 5 2003, 1:02pm
So we put the worker party press release alongside the GR and Belfast anti war one.
See the post we've put at the bottom of all these threads
Alternatively you could see it as damning proof Indymedia has been taken over by sinister NI Green/Trots/Anarchists/Israelis, or whichever group of the week it is now.
I'm off to the park with paper.
Bush/Blair and their collaborators Adams and Ahern are showcasing the peace process as a model of imperial settlement. Peace on their terms. The Provisionals are now collaborators with the US commander-in-chief, while his troops are conquering Iraq, allied with British troops led by Sir Mike Jackson, the Bloody Sunday murderer.

"President Bush should be respected"
Nonsense! There are tens of millions of true Americans who would like to wring his fascist neck. This born again religious fanatic hides from the American people by slinking off to U.S. military bases for ordered applause by U.S. military. Now that he is in Ireland, and will be relatively more public, YOU have a chance to express the world's rage against this insane retard.
America and Ireland have been good to each other. George W. Bush is not America, and does not represent decent Americans. You protest against this madman with everything you have, and drive him out of your country, along with Tony Blair.
We in San Francisco have heard many groups in Ireland are mobilizing to vehemently protest the arrival of our demented warmonger. Please make the world proud. Show the world that Ireland does not tolerate fascist dictators either in America or Israel.
