It is impossible to give credit to one place, one time, one person for the starting of any social movement, as it takes the ideas, energy and enthusiasm of countless people to reach a 'Critical Mass', but San Francisco, September 1992, certainly marked itself clearly on the map as a launch-pad for the Critical Mass movement, going on from there to spread throughout the world to all nine(?) corners of the globe and taking place in an estimated 325 cities. Now after seventeen years it is still growing and currently takes place in four cities around Ireland (that we know of?). In true DIY style Critical Mass co-incidentally returned to the streets of Belfast and Dublin simultaneously on Friday the 25th of September last after being sorely missed by many for a long time. To their credit Cork and Galway have been keeping it going for many years now (albeit in an on-off fashion). read full story / add a comment

Ever notice how the police on demonstrations seem to know your name and use it? How they take pictures and video of specific individuals but not others? This report from London might explain things. Of course, the gardaí don't use similar tactics and systems for catagorizing "trouble-makers" and people "who may instigate offences". Oh no. That could never happen here. read full story / add a comment

As this article is published the leader of the BNP, England's neo-fascist racist political party & one of the principle articulators of European neo-nazism in the English language has entered the BBC studios in London to take part in a BBC "question time" broadcast. The presence of Griffin has not gone without protest or reaction in Britain as much as in Ireland. This article collates much of the recent coverage of that reaction & puts this week's publishing on the internet on "Wikileaks" of the current BNP membership list in context. But the point of this article is to examine from a leftist and Irish perspective the possible consequences of the BBC invitation to Griffin and the reaction in the liberal English chattering classes and at parliamentary level. Rather than moving to a revamping of the Race Relations Act the British it seems are considering a return to the censorship which was applied to the factions of the north of Ireland in general and Sinn Fein in particular. read full story / add a comment

Early this morning the 22 October, four Shell to Sea campaigners entered the field in Glengad where Shell is working (the same field where work was stopped by a digger-occupier yesterday- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/94519). Two people managed to get on top of the same digger, but IRMS (Shell's private security contractors) got violent and dragged them down, injuring them both in the process. read full story / add a comment
