In Germany, 'democracy' now demands that the most popular party be kicked off the media, stripped of its funding and even banned outright, according to leading figures. Germany is a really stupid country, says Eugyppius.

Shell claims Corrib workers being intimidated
Last updated: 19-07-05, 16:27

Shell Ireland has alleged that a number of workers on its Corrib gas project in Co Mayo have received threats of violence in an increasingly bitter row over the construction of a gas pipeline.

A Shell spokeswoman claimed its workers in Rossport had reported "a number of instances of intimidatory behaviour" by third parties.

"We have advised our employees that if they have been subject to intimidatory behaviour or threats, these instances should be reported to the local gardai," she said.

The Garda Press Office told ireland.com it could not confirm whether or not gardai had recieved any complaints about threats or intimidation.

Independent Mayo TD Dr Jerry Cowley said he "totally refutes" Shell's claims of intimidation. "All these stories of threats and IRA are just plain nonsense," he told ireland.com. "This is a peaceful protest, there are no threats whatsoever. It's pure propaganda by Shell."

Shell Exploration & Production Ireland is embroiled in a dispute with Rossport residents over the safety of the pipeline, which it plans to run inland for 9km (5.5 miles) to a processing plant.

Residents, who are concerned about the high-pressure pipeline running past their homes, want Shell to process the gas on an offshore shallow water platform instead.

Shell has said the €300 million pipeline meets stringent safety regulations and will be built to "world-class standards".

Five men are still in jail for contempt of court after refusing not to obstruct the laying of the pipeline through their lands.

Shell has urged "meaningful and constructive dialogue" to resolve the situation.

Subject: Funny How Willingly Repeated Propaganda Can Backfire When You Hide Behind a Subscriber Wall

Hello Madam,

Have you seen this example of backfiring Shell Oil propaganda. Do take the time to read the comments and let it sink in. Note this is global google in english language on a search for 'Shell Oil'
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70979

Anyone who really thought their job had something to do with journalism would be looking at this kind of thing in the link below rather than smearing people with lies from the Dutch Royal family.
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70888

Oh but I forgot - they're your advertisers.

Yours sincerely,
