As the receipts from DOGE flood in it's clear that environmental NGOs pushing climate alarmism form a key plank of the bloated administrative state. The axe can't come soon enough, says Tilak Doshi.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4What do you think you're doing!!! The Stop the War Coalition organised a nice little rally three miles away from Hillsborough Castle.
Who on earth do you think you are actually getting within 100 yards of Bush and Blair to make a peaceful protest?
I mean, the ICTU/Amnesty might get in trouble because you managed to walk into Hillsborough and protest.
Really, you should have more concern for the well being of the ICTU. (After all, this isn't about the murder of thousands of innocent Iraqis, it's about not upsetting the ICTU, Amnesty International, etc etc.)
GET A GRIP STOP THE WAR COALITION - if you don't want to risk your jobs by getting involved in legitimate, peaceful, civil disobedience, don't criticise, or even worse try to hinder, others who do.
And by the way, I am not in the SWP or any other kind of "radical" group.
I don't happen to think it's radical to peacefully protest through civil disobedience against this illegal war.
Its seems that over recent days there have many sitdown protest, die-ins etc all done by skinny people who the Gardaí/PSNI/RUC have had little trouble in fleeing out of the way of obstruction.
The question needs to be asked when are we going to see FAT PEOPLE AGAINST THE WAR?
It would be a much more effective die-in group than any other wing of the anti-war movement so far.
Well done. If only the rest of us had organised ourselves better instead of marching to hold a rally in the middle of nowhere or by-passing it to come up against the ring of steel "somewhere" half a mile closer to Hillsborough. We did not even have the organisational skills to download a map of the area so we could see where we were. Bloody disgrace. I include myself in this since that and other little things like starting some sort of debate over what we should do, could have been done by anyone with access to computer.
Nevermind. This is a learning process and now with the supposed fall of Baghdad, it won't be long before an attack on Iran or Syria etc allows us to exercise our new found skills.
Um, don't you mean dis-organize better?
If we were less organized, we wouldn't have all gone together on coaches at an appointed time and been easily choraled into a side-road, thereby to be further organized, by, um, organizers.
No, we would have made our own disorganized way to Hillsborough, a quaint "English" town in the middle of rural Co. Down. Being intelligent, we would have realized the need to go early, and maybe, oh, half of us would have actually got through.
Then, if we'd remained disorganized and not, for example, come together to form a single crowd, maybe we could have infected Hillsborough with our disorganization.
But no, instead we got organized. Next time I'm going it alone.
