offsite link Thoughts on the Fifth Anniversary of Leaving the European Union Sat Feb 01, 2025 09:00 | Dr David McGrogan
What the Brexit Leave vote, and Boris Johnson?s eventual triumph, seemed to in the end achieve was only the revelation of the extent to which British institutions have been hollowed out and corrupted, says David McGrogan.

Diversity kitsch is all around us. But as the grim fact forcefully confronts us that some immigrants hate their hosts so much they want to murder and rape them, David McGrogan senses that it is at last falling from favour.

Ógra SF Shut Statoil Down

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Friday July 01, 2005 21:19author by Ógra Shinn Féin Report this post to the editors

Dublin Ógra Shinn Féin activists shut down the Statoil filling station on Usher's Quay at half six this evening.

Dublin Ógra Shinn Féin activists shut down the Statoil filling station on Usher's Quay, Dublin, at half six this evening. They were carrying out a solidarity protest with the Rossport Five and the local community in their struggle against Shell and Statoil.

An attempt to seize the office and shop of the filling station was repulsed so activists contented themselves with locking the shop closed and shutting down the petrol pumps.

Drivers were leafletted as they entered the station and the reasons for shutting it down were explained.

With one or two exceptions the overwhelming majority of drivers were supportive. A number of drivers expressed surprise that Statoil was involved in the pipeline with Shell and stated they wouldn't be using the company in future.

While the station Manager notified the police as the activists arrived a number of police cars that drove by during the protest made no attempt to intervene.

After keeping the station closed for just under 90 minutes the protest ended peacefully and the locks were lifted.

An Ógra Shinn Féin activist said: "Ógra Shinn Féin will continue to carry out these actions at times and places of our choosing until the five men are released and the demands of the people of Erris met.

"We know we will be joined in this by people of other parties and none who will put aside political differences to concentrate on a simple goal; shut these companies down".

Would it be Shell oil? Or is it something else John?

John rather than ranting at us on indymedia you'd be better off ringing Shell and telling them your considering changing supplier unless they drop the injunction

Question again;
Why protest outside and try to close a business that Statoil does not OWN nor operate????
This protest has achieved nothing

Do you know the difference between Company owned and operated Statoils and Franchised Stations? who are private business owned by ordinary people trying to make a living like you or I.

This Station is owned and operated by an indpendent owner who just so happens to buy his petrol from Staoil, What was achieved here???
This Petrol Station is nether owned nor operated by Statoil! The only thing achieved was the loss of business to the people who actually own this staton who have nothing to do with Corrib or its problems! Do you plan to put ordinary people out of business with these badly tought through protests????

PS I agree that these people should not be in Jail but they are free to leave at any time once they agree not to break the law like any of us, no one is above the Law!

Shell have a freephone number for faxed orders. If you have access to a fax machine (most PCs with modems will do the job) why not send a fax to this number: 1800 200340

I'm not suggesting that people send loads of copies in an attempt to overload their system, but if enough people send a single fax it will disrupt them.

The drivers who said they wouldn't use Statoil again probably drove to the Shell in Kilmainham. The feckers.

More of this sort of thing! I'd imagine that that was a crucial time of the day for business as well so it probably hit them where it hurts .... in the wallet.
