Irish Ferries: The significance of the December 9th mobilisations How was it that demonstrations of over 150,000 workers could be followed almost immediately by the defeat of the Irish Ferries struggle and the demobilisation of the demonstrators? Many saw the size of the demonstrations as by themselves representing the political mobilisation of the working class. In truth it only raised the question.

In violation of its agreements with the IAEA the Iranian government has removed seals from its nuclear facilities and has begun uranium processing. The response of the international community led by the US and UK poodle with the support of effeminate France (the CIA staged Paris riots have convinced them of the need to clamp down on Muslims) and Russia (Chechens freedom fighters supported by Iran)is to refer the issue to the UN Security Council in preparation for a new Iran War read full story / add a comment
