Annie-Body: "Why not have a 'Free Party' which is properly organised and policed for the benefit of EVERYONE not just you people!!"
That's exactly what happens.
This one made me smile. I can't understand why someone could get so upset because a few people dance, socialise, entertain and be entertained for a few hours on a bamk holiday.
Don't believe the hype. It's a party, not a protest and definitely not a protest.

I think its a disgrace you people just taking over the city like that, hellbent on causing chaos. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Why not have a 'Free Party' which is properly organised and policed for the benefit of EVERYONE not just you people!!
For God's sake, someone could get hurt!!
Or is that the plan???
is NOT intended to be a riot. It is a free party for anyone and everyone. All welcome. I'm pretty sure with the media coverage of last year, the gards will be on their best behavior.

are also the May 6th people.
before you hit someone on the head or kick the shit out of them think about their tomorrow.
you guys are a bunch of wasters. you don't understand real world politics and economics at all. you should travel and see the world then you will see why globalisation is right and good. by the way, the war in iraq was good too, its a shame that the anti war movement is so racist : white people can be free from tyranny, but its ok for Iraqis to be brutalised by Saddam. Get a life.
Hope the guards kick the shit out of the May 5th people, deserve it interrupting everyone elses day. selfish ignorant bastards.
From an Irish Muslim.
Why don't you do it today, or tomorrow, or whenever you like for that matter, nobody's stopping you and you can be as rad as you like. You can even be your very own Rich boy!
If you want to make suggestions and criticisms about our events, our meetings are open to all, so you can get involved. For some reason I don't think that we take these type of anonymous criticisms on indy too seriously.
"Don't forget...
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
dublin, dublin
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
Feck the guards!"
Who are you reclaiming the streets from???
And why on a bank holiday monday???? defeats the purpose, plonkers, this should be on today or tomorrow...someone's probably gone and spoken with the cops to make sure things aren't too secret. Is RBB in on this too???
Bet he is, or his twin... or doppleganger
Supporters of the tribal people of Indonesian occupied West Papua will visit the ancient ceremonial site of Uisineach in Co. Westmeath for a May Day (or ‘Beltaine’) ceremony and council.
See the full piece at "The (R)evolution will be spiritualised" by Tribal Rearrival in the MayDay Analyses thread at the URL below:
The Cork May Day March takes place today (Thursday, 1st May) at 5.30pm. Assemble at Connolly Hall at 5.30pm.
The Cork Peace Alliance will be participating in this year's May Day march and the anti-war message will be a central one from the May Day rally.
Don't forget...
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
dublin, dublin
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
Feck the guards!
Three different times have been given for the march. IAWM say 6.30 pm, SF say 7.30pm but the Dublin Council of Trade Union leaflets say 7 pm.
There will be a West Papua-Ireland ceremony and tribal council on the hill of Uisineach to mark the coming of summer, the season and fertility of Beltaine which begins today.
Protest-vigil at Dutch embassy Thursday May 1, 11am-1pm
40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation. Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.
The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands. The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.

“NETHERLANDS COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE"
Vigil at Netherlands Embassy to mark 40th anniversary of Indonesian Takeover of West Papua

40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation.
Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.
The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.
When East Timor was taken over by Indonesia in 1975, its former colonizer, Portugal, spoke out and supported self-determination for East Timor. However, the Netherlands has stayed silent on the question of West Papuan self-determination, and thus, as a central party, is directly complicit in genocide.
West Papua, north of Australia, is the western half of New Guinea island. At least 100,000 West Papuans have been killed since 1963. Some observers have put the figure as high as 300,000.
