offsite link The Cheap Talk of Emmanuel Macron Thu Mar 06, 2025 12:37 | Noah Carl
Macron claims that Russia is an ?existential threat? to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

Disney has scrapped plans to hold a star-studded UK premiere of its new Snow White movie over fears of an anti-woke backlash against the troubled live action remake of its 1937 animated classic.

The BBC has run a story claiming UK spring temperatures are up 1.8?C. It's alarmist agitprop straight from a Green Blob press release and it doesn't check out when you look at the facts, says Chris Morrison.

The Javaad Alipoor Company is a theatre company with a woke "nine-point manifesto that drives everything we do". Inevitably, the Arts Council is stuffing it with taxpayers' cash. Why do we fund this crap?

Globalise Resistance update Nov 9th - esf report back meeting nov 19th

The anti-capitalist movement (no global) was out on the streets of Italy last week with two huge strikes over pensions, workers rights and social rights. Meanwhile in Iraq the americans are getting hit by resistance at the level they never expected. The ESF in Paris will be enthused by these movements and we hope that it will represent these movements and call for a untied day of action around europe for social rights and one against the war. Paris will be huge and another step forward for the global anti-capitalist movement. Bertie and FF keep going downwards here ~(whey hey!) and we will have huge potential to unite a lot of forces in building opposition to the EU meetings starting on january.

WE met on saturday in the Snug, Dorset St and this is what was discussed and decided;

WE met on saturday in the Snug, Dorset St and this is what was discussed and decided;


1. Next GR activist meeting; Sat 22nd Nov 3.30pm The snug, dorset st.

2. European Social Forum; Eye Witness report back from Paris

The 2nd European Social Forum takes place in Paris 12th-15th November. In the aftermath of the fantastic global anti-war campaign the ESF will be a crucial event with thousands of activists from all over the world expected to attend. There will be hundreds of forums, debates and meetings discussing the future of Europe.

hear first hand accounts of the ESF ;

7.30 PM, Wednesday 19th November
Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Sq

Speakers Include; Richard Boyd Barrett (IAWM), Jean Sommers (Debt and Development Coalition)

Organised by GR

In order to build for this we are meeting on Monday and Tuesday at 6pm to put up posters-contact us if you can help-also doing postering Mon 17th at 6pm.

3. Saturday 15th GPO -2pm GR stall and postering

4. WE discussed building for the anti-war blockade at Shannon dec 5th and we will try to get people on the IAWM buses for that. We will do a banner drop to advertise dec 5th and will meet on Nov 22nd in the afternoon to make the banner.

5. -creation of 'another europe is possible alliance'- we think there should be a big public meeting in the first week in december to launch the alliance that will mobilise against the meetings of the EU and invite every group and individual that is interested in helping to build an alliance to mobilise thousands to protest come along.

6. We will be organising a fundraiser soon

what is an anti-capitalist movement (no global)?

this is a genuine question: is your main aim at the esf to get an international day of action & what form should that take given the lack of effect of millions marching worldwide on feb 15th?
it was a great march in dublin cos it brought people who wouldn't normally march together & who don't normally protest into the streets and it was great to see worldwide simultaneous dissent but in terms of having an effect on the war machine or neoliberalism in general seems like it'll take a lot more than marching along an agreed route on one day & listening to speeches. so what exactly are you proposing? no borders demos, direct action, creative & colourful protest, ongoing actions, networking between groups & campaigns, lobbying, etc?

"creation of 'another europe is possible alliance'- we think there should be a big public meeting in the first week in december to launch the alliance that will mobilise against the meetings of the EU and invite every group and individual that is interested in helping to build an alliance to mobilise thousands to protest come along." Has the SWP contacted any other groups about this proposition to form _the_ alliance that will mobilise against the meetings of the EU? Will they have an input into the organisation of the meeting (agenda, speakers, name of alliance, etc) or will they be merely invited to a meeting where the SWP has decided all of these things in advance? The fact that the SWP has already apparently picked the name of the putative alliance, allied with their consistent history of undemocratic front-building leads me to think that the second option is the more likely one. So it seems that we're to have yet another SWP front. If so, I'd suggest that everybody else avoids it like the plague and tries to build something real (the ISF meeting that happened last Saturday could be the genisis of the thing).

Mail received from a mate who is on the ESF list and this was sent out by Rory. Very amusing!!!
What a shower of pricks. The spelling mistakes are Rory's.

"hello, mick o rielly cannot speak at the ESf and neither can brendan ogle or bill mcamley, so Brid Smith who is a member of the same union as a mick o rielly was proposed to speak and is going over ..unless anyone can suggest anyone else to speak.

rory"

Are the SWP really planning to substitute Brid Smith onto the platform at the ESF? Who is she speaking on behalf of?

Its true it landed in mail boxes last night. They guaranteed at the first organising meeting that the Irish representation of three would not consist of more than one SWP member and added nor would they want it to.

Is the rest of the left in Ireland ever going to wise up to the muppets. They are a cancer!
