Fermanagh G8 Fail - From bog death of summit protests to the art of the possible
Date: Wed, 2013-07-17 14:13
A younger comrade explained to me how he had travelled over 600 miles to be allowed into a field in Fermanagh to destroy a fence which had been specifically erected for that purpose. It was a sacrificial offering to the black block, complete with blunted razor wire so that they would not injure themselves in the thrashing. Just when you thought this scene could not get any more surreal, hear this. Beyond this field lay another barrier, and inside that fence there was a man from the security forces stating that if anyone attempted to get into this field there would be serious consequences. As per normal in these situations, the violence was always going to come from those in uniform. The stewards from the Socialist Party approached the black block and explained to them that the busses were leaving.
On a private island in the lake, far away from this absurd scene, the leaders of the G8 were meeting undisturbed.

Anti choice extremists defeated but this legislation is worthless - where next?
Date: Thu, 2013-07-11 14:51
Despite spending in the region of a million euro and getting the backing of the catholic church its now clear that the anti-choice extremists of Youth Defence & the Pro Life Campaign were resoundingly defeated when the Dail finally voted though legislation implementing the X-Case judgment of 21 years ago. This time last year they were confident that they already had enough Fine Gael TD's on board to block the required legislation but they reckoned against the wave of public anger that followed the death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied a potentially life saving abortion in a Galway hospital.
