On a rota system, back to our usual pitch outside Lynch's castle, some twenty Shell to Sea activists from noon to 6PM manned an info/petition table to publicise tomorrow's National demo for the Five which will be starting and finishing at the Spanish Arch, again, the response was heartening, for instance, on a rough calculation, we reckon we got 2,500 petition signatures yesterday and today and judging from the feedback, the demo numbers are looking good, very good. TOMORROW MORNING, ANOTHER RAKE OF US WILL BE OUTSIDE LYNCH'S CASTLE FROM 10 AM TO 2PM EXHORTING THE PUBLIC TO DEMONSTRATE. PLEASE JOIN US FOR BOTH ! ... read full story / add a comment

For six hours today, Shell to Sea - their ranks swelled with activists from Amnesty International, SWP, Green Party, SP and Global Women's Strike, the latter in the formidable/venerable form of Margaretta D'Arcy - mounted a protest/petition/info table on William Street and that over, joined the 90 minute SWP organised picket/blockade of the Newcastle Statoil Service Station and we closed the fucker down - at least until the arrival of some amiable Gardai. With Saturday's National Rossport Five demo spurring us on, a six hour stint is planned for William Street tomorrow and a further four hours on Saturday morning.

A remembrance on the 150th anniversary of one of the deadliest anti-immigrant riots in American history, the Bloody Monday Massacre of August 6, 1855 was held in Louisville Kentucky on Saturday, August 6th, 2005. The instigators of the massacre were the Know Nothings, a Nativist political party who were fearful of losing control of the Louisville City Council. They were driven by an anti-immigrant vitriolic press to attack and slaughter as many as 150 German and Irish immigrants who lived in the poorest sections of Louisville. ... read full story / add a comment

A glaring gap in the Socialist Party's national network and in the political scene of Galway has recently been filled by the first moves towards creating a branch proper in Galway. This follows a recent visit to Galway by Joe HIggins where he spoke on the GAMA issue and attracted much support and interest. The first issue with which Galway S.P. members have become involved is in the Shell to Sea campaign and their arrival has been broadly welcomed by both individuals and other groups on the left in Galway. Meetings will be held upstairs in Java's Coffeeshop on the first and third wednesday of every month and all are welcome. ... read full story / add a comment

A woman called Cindy Sheehan whose son was killed in Iraq is galvanising anti-war opinion in the USA to an arguably greater extent than any previous anti-war protests. She is camped at the side of the road with a small (growing) number of accomplices at Bush's ranch in Crawford (Waco) Texas for the last couple of days and is demanding Bush meet her and explain a few things to her. ... read full story / add a comment |
