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.

offsite link Why Are We Funding Arts Council England?s Woke Nonsense? Thu Mar 06, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
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?

Dublin IPSC will hold a demonstration tomorrow at 6.30pm outside the National Concert Hall, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, where a concert is being held to celebrate Israeli Independence Day.

Dublin IPSC will hold a demonstration tomorrow at 6.30pm outside the National Concert Hall, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, where a concert is being held to celebrate Israeli Independence Day. We wish to highlight the fact that Israel celebrates its independence while waging a brutal and unjust occupation against the Palestinians, denying them basic human rights and self-determination.

Please come along, bring flags, banners, scarves etc, and please spread the word to friends and supporters.

a friend has told me this is a decoy - he is catering a function tonight for the zionists at an estate in Wicklow hosted by a big wig supporter of Israel - 7.30-9.30

What do you think about the Israeli state's continued existance? do you think it should be abolished?

The people going to the event in the NCH are not necessarily in favour of the occupation of Palestine. I would guess that they are mainly people from the Israeli community in Ireland who are celebrating thier heritage. To mount a protest may be seen as attacking the continued existance of the Israeli state.

I dont' support demands for the abolition of the Israeli state. I think there should be a 2 state solution where minority rights are protected in each state. I think Israel should get out of Palestine, but I won't be going to your protest for reasons outlined above.

I'd ask the protesters to be quiet at there are Exams in UCD that started this week. The Medical and Engineering Libraries are in Earlsfort Terrace (right next to the NCH). At this time of year the last thing we need are very load protests outside the Library.

I couldn't agree more Pat. I look at this site quite a lot, and I'm often struck by how many of the posts are based more around attacking Israel than supporting Palestine - as if you had to choose between Sharon and the suicide bombers. Hence the denunciation of the very existence of Israel, and the reluctance to criticise acts of terrorism on the other side.

I also note (though not so much on this site, more usually on UK and US ones) an undertow of anti-semitism. the standard defense is "I'm not anti-semitic, just anti-zionist". Don't cut no ice with me I'm afraid. Zionism is the movement that led to the the existence of Israel, and the expansionist/imperialist tendancy in Israel is only it's extreme fringe. So one can call one's self a pro-palestinian zionist without contradiction.

And of course, those UCD students need their sleep:)

I agree with what Fergal says. Although I hope he's not too flipant with the point about students needing sleep!

Seriously, I hope that the IPSC are going to be sensible and not be too load. The Library is right beside the NCH, in the same building. The NCH is probably sound-proofed and can't hear you, but the Library isn't! So if they are reading this they sould remember not to be too load with their megaphones. UCD students have been very active in left campaigns throughout the year, wait till after the exams to use megaphones outside the Library!
