Labour Must Halt its War on Pubs Tue Sep 09, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
One pub is closing every day. And Labour's 'banter ban' ? Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill ? is only going to make it worse as pubs are left with the escalating bills to cover their legal costs.

The African Countries Demanding Reparations Are Astonishingly Hypocritical Tue Sep 09, 2025 15:46 | Will Jones
The African Union's demand for colonial reparations is an act of cynical opportunism that ignores that slavery was already endemic in Africa, and African kingdoms resisted abolition even as the British forced it on them.

Reaction to the "christian" was pretty much boredom and despair.
Unfortunately Hyde Park in London has become dominated by fundamentalists of every srtipe. But that is the fault of others abandoning the space.
Free speech - use it or lose it!

I missed the second one couldn't get outta bed for a day and half after the long May daze march to police lines.
What the corner needs is 4 or 5 goups or individuals to make a 4-6 week commitment to be there/provide a speaker every week to give it a kickstart for it to take root. Hopefully groups organising around the referendum, Bush visit etc. will see it in their interest to use this forum to connect with folks in the streeet.
Probably needs 3-4 folks to guarantee that one of them will be there at kickoff time to get the boxes and signs out on time.
For the last few weeks it's relied on Rossa to be there on time to set up and I assume he will have gigs elsewhere at times & will be unavailable.
That there was three soapboxes going at once for a time on Sunday was a good sign.
Tourists are obviously interested (people are less uptight/ self-conscious/worried about being spotted by the neighbors when travelling). Meet intersesting foks had great chats with aan assylum seeker from Kurdistan (recently outta the war zone), Pakistani guy, A U.S. Vietnam Vet who did three tours and still believes it was the right thing to do after getting offa the box.
Dublin Catholic Worker crew are commited to be there weekly for the forseeable future.
ummm yeah, you're right - i changed that, thanks
The Christian is described as "ranting". Perhaps he was but surely there is a narrow line between debating and ranting.
One mans debate is anothers rant?
Is Ciaron O'Reilly at all of them as well?
Is there always a police presence to 'defend free speach'?
And do they have cameras?
