DCC, does seem to view itself as a body to disrupt any sort of political dissent in the city by tearing down posters etc.
So why would you go appealing to them to allow you to poster? Do you think they care?
Use stickers, paint and wheatpaste next time and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to allow your legal posters back up asap.
Revolutionary party? like fuck you are.
Take your point anarchonaut. But I do not think "stickers, use graffiti, flypost," are half as effective. And why in a "supposedly" democratic society should free speech & democracy be supressed. Surely posters on the streets of Dublin, as used to be the case, is a sign of an open, democratic, free speech, free thinking society? Is this not thy most important thing in any society?
Are we going to go down the road of the UK where a seventy year old woman gets locked up for not paying 54 quid. Where an 82 life long Labour member ushers one word "nonsense" in his 82 year old feeble voice, in response to Jack Straws defence of the UK's refusal to pull troops out of Iraq - and then is evicted from the conference for doing this. Not only that but man-handled out despite he saying he would leave peacefully. He was only one example of many at that conference.
Democracy is on the decline. In the U.S., in the U.K., right around the world and now too in Ireland.
If democracy goes, we all go. Free speech must be honoured. To Wood Quay at 1.15!!
is the swp still claiming to be a revolutionary organisation? it seems to still be clinging to petty reformism- but we can't, Dublin City Council said we couldn't.. poor kids, talk about an oedipus complex.
use stickers, use graffiti, flypost, it's not that difficult to figure out.
its not to long ago that it was on this site how Dublin CC were more or less in solidarity with the protesters, when they had left up the posters for so long !!! God what do ye want, i think ye dont know what ye want! and their right to pull down the posters , they've been up long enough,; if Dublin has had to put up with all the graffiti and shit that we down here in the west have to put up with, then its about time they done something about it...
