Dublin Grassroots Network has expressed concern that the government is attempting to incite a riot. This follows a pattern of harassment, misrepresentation and intimidation apparently designed to raise tensions in advance of May Day protests. DGN has raised particular concerns about the use of undercover policemen, who have a history of acting as agents provocateurs.

DGN has also released a dossier of "dirty tricks" from the security forces and unscrupulous journalists. ... read full story / add a comment

A cunning trap has been set ahead of Bertie Ahern's visit to National University of Ireland, Galway tomorrow.
Members of Galway Grassroots, Galway Alliance Against War and the Irish centre for Human Rights hope to ensnare the wily Taoiseach, and charge him with war crimes.

A cage baited with large bulging brown envelopes that have euro signs drawn on them has been erected near the Aula Maxima. A Guantanamo Bay style prison uniform has also been prepared, and we are confident that this will be sufficient to restrain Ahern, though we expect him to put up a vicious fight. Electrical cattle prods may also have to be employed to subdue an Taoiseach.

So, God-willing, we'll have the blighter in custody and ready for trial tomorrow afternoon.

PS: Please don't forewarn him or his security of this trap, as then he would surely evade us. ... read full story / add a comment
