If you want a snapshot of how the Blob works, look no further than David Miliband. Once a Labour Minister, now paid ?1m a year running a 'charity' that receives millions from the UK Government. Nice work if you can get it.

The Wokus Dei Cathedral is finally collapsing. Almost overnight, MSNBC's primetime audience fell by a staggering 53%, while CNN's fell by 47%. Suddenly, the West's prestige faith has lost its sheen.

offsite link The WHO Cares More About Pushing Experimental Vaccines Than Basic Sanitation and That?s a Problem Thu Feb 27, 2025 18:00 | Dr David Bell
The WHO once aimed to help nations stand on their own two feet, but now it mainly pushes the agendas of the rich and powerful, says Dr David Bell. That's why it cares more about experimental vaccines than basic sanitation.

Con, perhaps you would care to be specific. You should certainly not include Rita in any of your generalised allegations. I have known her for the past fifteen years and can certainly vouch for her. I know you too, but can not vouch for you.

Con, don't bite to them,

By the way I think you will enjoy my latest diary input to go up in a couple of days - it covers many unanswered questions of my days re such 'organised left, which I will deal with as final closure -

Essential and interesting reading it twill be . D

Rita and John Bissett are poverty pimps, Con?
You'd be better off sticking to giving bizarre interviews to yuppie magazines,

Isn't Cassidy's hotel a non-union hotel? An odd choice for a group called People Before Profit.

Even worse than that. It's owned by Donie Cassidy. He's a Fianna Fail TD for Westmeath. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Any report fromt the conference?

author by Con Carroll - Class warpublication date Mon Jan 16, 2006 16:31author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Con watch
what would the middle class swp in Dublin know about the reality of poverty which people expierence in working class housing estates/political alienation the swp will talk about it, once the people whom they are talking about don't challenge them.

where do I say that Rita Fagan is involved with the poverty industry?
there are people within the swp who have treated other political activists as second class citizens

con watch if you cant take political critcism of the swp
then you shouldn't debate
