There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Is democracy dying? That's what everyone is saying. Killed by populism, apparently. Prof James Alexander suspects the educated classes may not know what they're talking about.

Meeting to discuss organising against Bush's visit

6pm Wednesday 28th May
Socialist Party Offices
13 Lombard St

Socialist Party have called a meeting to discuss organising protests against Bush's on the 16th June to Belfast.

author by Paddy Meehan - Socialist Party publication date Wed May 28, 2008 19:47author email patmaster35 at hotmail dot comauthor address author phone 07876146473Report this post to the editors

Members from the Socialist Party, Socialist Youth, WSM, Organise, ISN and Socialist Democracy attended a meeting tonight to discuss the establishment of a broad-based campaign to oppose the visit by George Bush on June 16th.

It was unanimously agreed that the need to protest Bush's visit should not be limited to his warmongering, but also importantly his imperialist neo-liberal agenda, such as attack on workers' rights and the environment. It was agreed that a single united campaign which would be democratically structured, representing all groups, including anti-war, environmental, socialist organisations, trade unions etc, is needed in order to fully maximise turnout at demonstrations .

A committee meeting has been organised this Friday, 30th May, at 6pm, to discuss organising demonstrations and publicising the campaign. The venue is yet to be confirmed. One representative from each affiliated organisation will attend. Any groups who want to affiliate can send a delegate to the meeting. For more information contact Paddy Meehan on 07876146473 or e-mail [email protected].

Hi Paddy,.
