It's been exasperating to watch as, in defiance of the wishes of Western electorates, the cultural make-up of our countries is radically transformed. It's time to scrap the asylum system, says Lionel Shriver.

Germany's 'firewall' against the AfD is set to saddle voters with the same pro-migration Leftoid Government they're desperate to get rid of. When will the Right realise the Left has them over a barrel, asks Eugyppius.

Sometimes Trump's mercantilist thinking is so radical as to be wildly, crazily brilliant, as with the Gaza Riviera plan. But on Ukraine it's letting him ? and the West ? down, says Ian Rons.

Shell Offices Raided in Solidarity with Rossport

category mayo | environment | news report author Wednesday November 01, 2006 17:13author by G Holden Report this post to the editors

Shell Gas offices near Chesterfield were occupied today, while a simultaneous noise demo outside woke up Shell staff to our feelings about the multinational’s abuse of the Rossport people and their environment.
No name plates at their office!
No name plates at their office!

Campaigners had to use sophisticated techniques and technology to overcome the electronic door security and gain access to the building. So they found an old cardboard box and wrote the address of the office on it with felt tip. They then, cunningly, rang the doorbell and said they had a delivery, at which point the door was opened and the protesters walked in.

Meanwhile the banner was unfurled outside the building and the noise started up. What wonderful tunes the protesters played on their hooters, dustbin lids, whistles and sirens. The glorious music was so attractive that Shell staff stopped work to peer out of the windows and read the banner. So any Shell staff in the building, who had not been given a leaflet by the occupiers, certainly got the message.

After about 30 minutes the protesters took a 5 minute break to eat homemade flapjack and generally mutter about the slow response times of the local constabulary. They finally turned up with their video camera after about 45 minutes so we gave them another 15 minutes of music before heading off.

Shell should be on notice that we will are fully behind the people of Rossport in their struggle against the greedy fatcats at sHELL.

Good work. Especially like the hi-tech ruse to get in to the office. Not very impressed with the cut of your cops though. You'll have to come over here and we'll show you some proper stormtroopers...

I hope you have something planned for November 10th, or better yet, you can get over to Mayo. If you come through Dublin we have a bus organised- send us an email on [email protected] to book a place.

Well done people-great to see the solidarity across the water.keeps us energised and positive over here..
The campaign is as strong as ever and has just about weathered a storm of sleaze,lies and government/shell propaganda in the media.
Actions like the above serve to show that many around the world understand the seriousness of the issue and the fact that if Shell want to get away with this they will have to go through us first.

Onwards to the International Day of Action on the 10th of Nov!
