Justin Trudeau has resigned, having lost the confidence of his party. This is bad news for Starmer and another sign electorates are fed up with radical progressive zealotry dressed up as technocratic managerialism.

Get ready for four years of foam-flecked anti-Trump sneering and fury from the British media, predicts David Craig. The more successful Trump is at growing the U.S. economy, the more unhinged it will be.

An inept 'fact check' by Meta partner Science Feedback has shone further light on the U.K. Met Office's junk and fabricated temperature measurements, says Chris Morrison. The 'defence' only digs the hole deeper.

Protest outside Dáil as Gas Giveaway continues

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday December 04, 2011 14:26author by Naoise O'Mongáin - Rossport Against Sellout and Betrayal Report this post to the editors

"Those whose only comfort zone is found within the establishment passed by with heads averted"

On 29 Nov 2011 the CNRA (Communications, Natural Resources and Agriculture) Dáil Committee met to hear submissions from Pro Gas Mayo (Brendan Cafferty), Council for the West (Sean Hannick), Pobal le Chéile and Pobal Chill Chomáin; Cafferty and Hannick were accompanied by Shell PR Christy Loftus; the Pobals by Gerry Murray Sinn Féin County Councillor Mayo.

Most of the group who protested left their homes in Mayo that morning at 5am to maintain a
presence outside the Dáil which continued until 8pm that night. They were joined by other
supporters including Colm Roddy in Dublin and congratulated for their effort by, among others,
the prominent politicians Richard Boyd Barrett, Luke the Ming Flanagan and Mick Wallace. Also
joining the protest during the day was politician and activist Fiachra Ó Luain.

Not unexpectedly those whose only comfort zone is found within the establishment passed by with heads
averted to take part in a farcical process designed solely to provide a figleaf for the continued giveaway
of our oil and gas at a time when the country and its people are on their knees through the chicanery and
cravenness of past and current governments.
