A few questions. I was at the RTS and am still wondering about several things that happened as I was on the periphery at the beginning and in the middle at the end. These are questions I have been asked and couldn’t answer. Who decided on Burgh Quay? Obviously somebody did as this was where the car was waiting? Where the Dublin Fire Brigade there already? If so do they act with the police often ? Did anyone see them harassed? Where the protesters corralled at College Green as part of some deliberate police operation? How many cops were there altogether? Did anyone see any physical attacks on cops? I did see empty cans hurled at cops on Burgh Quay but they were chucked from the middle of the throng. If anyone can iron these points out that’d be a really big help. read full story / add a comment

So Fianna Fail will take power in what is for them a sweet election. Fine Gael have withered away. Labour hasnt changed. The PD's are laughable. But, here comes the lefties. The Greens get 6-7 seats (i dunno i've lost interest at this point), Sinn Fein 5, and the Socialist Party 1. This is all common knowledge but what does it really mean. read full story / add a comment

In last month's sizzling edition of Big Ones there was something familiar about one of the Reader's True-Life Confessions. Mr TB from Westminster wrote: "It was my party and everyone kept giving me presents, but the biggest treat was more than I bargained for! I hadn't had an election for four years and suddenly this porn star with these big wads came up and offered to give me a good funding, just like that! Well, I was desperate for it I can tell you, I've never had any cheques like it and I didn't feel guilty, even when everyone found out." read full story / add a comment

"an injury to one is an injury to all" most people who were arrested on may day are facing court on monday 20th may. lets accompany those people and show our support for them. gathering on the corner of ormond quay and chancery place (on the quays, just before you get to the 4 courts) at 10:15am then moving round to the district court 46. it has been requested that this not be a demonstration (no placards etc) but a show of solidarity and accompaniment. it is also an opportunity to find out what support people want throughout the post arrest process. for those who are in court on monday and do not have legal representation yet and would like it you can contact yvonne banbury (solicitor) on 0876599342. she will also be at the district court on the day. for more details contact 087 942 5422 read full story / add a comment

In Madrid, Chiefs of State and government officials of Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean are metting 17-18 of May to celebrate the good progress of their business and their global economy; to compensate the support, the free hand and the sympathy of "leaders" from the other side of the Atlantic; to feast on the profits achieved by the neoliberal policies imposed by the centre upon the periphery: the profits of Telefonica, Deustche Telecom, Repsol, Endesa, BBVA... Madrid refuses to be pigsty and inn for such undesirable riders. Transatlantic Social Forum read full story / add a comment
