Sir Keir Starmer should recall Parliament so MPs can have a "more honest debate" about mass immigration, Nigel Farage has demanded as he accused the PM of a "faltering approach" to the riots currently sweeping Britain.

When Ben Pile moved into a new house he got a nasty surprise. It had a prepayment meter that was about to run out of credit. Fixing this proved to be absurdly hard, which, presumably, is just what the green lobby wants.

Private Health Conference Disrupted

category dublin | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday April 05, 2006 13:55author by Brian Keane - Ógra Shinn Fein Report this post to the editors

Ógra activists kick up a stink

Private health conference disrupted in Dublin by Ógra activists.

Ógra Shinn Féin have today stopped 'Ireland's inaugural private healthcare conference' in the Berkeley Court Hotel. They did this through direct action protest and will read the following statement to the conference attendees;

We are here to protest against the blood sucking parasites here assembled; those who seek to make a profit from people's pain, profit from people's suffering and profit from people's fears and their ill-health. I refer to those in the so called private health industry who are here today in an attempt to further Americanize and commodify the health of the Irish people. They collude in this with our corrupt right-wing Government, which sees the enrichment of the corporate elite as preferable to the well being of the Irish people.

We in Ógra Shinn Fein believe that health is for people - not for profit! Corporations such as GE make everything from light bulbs to cars, now they wish to treat sick Irish people; as long as they have money. There is a smell in this room, the smell of corruption, the smell of greed, the smell of capitalist pigs swilling at the cash trough that the Government so willingly provides for them. The Irish people are not only paying for their health with their taxes, they are also paying with their suffering and death.

We believe that access to health care is a universal and inalienable right for all; not a privilege for the wealthy, nor should the lack of such universal provision be punishment for the poor.

Onwards towards the Socialist Republic!

This action is to attempt to stop the privatization of the Irish healthcare system by obstructing those who attempt to subvert it for profit from organizing.
Stink bombs were let off to further disrupt the proceedings beyond the tim the activists were removed.

Sorry,

does anyone else not get the smell of hypocracy. Was it not Sinn fein ministers in the Assembly that shut down hospitals and introduced PFI in education. Capitalist pigs in the north and revolutionary socialists in the south - make up ur mind comrades

Ógra Shinn Féin aka the business, aka the only show in town, aka the radical voice of Irish youth, aka the cutting edge!

You never fail to amaze me - keep up the excellent work!

Onwards indeed!

Your message gets lost in your appeal to emotion and invective laden speeches and childish actions.

I'm sure the staff of the Berkeley Court were only too happy to clean up the mess Ógra Shinn Féin created.

Fair play to you lads, the PD's are bringing this country further down into hell of privitisation From all the example of privitisation through out the world, at best, it will keep things as they are, or at worst, it will destroy the system.
Well done lads, shows that people won't just lie down and accept things.

When people are dying on trolleys in hospital corridors I think we can safely say the system doesn't work.

Good job to all involved, wish I could of been there myself but extenuating circumstances and all that.

You can't have one without the other. So glad to hear of this protest! It's good that the someone's looking out for basic human rights with all the privateering going on here. Amd who better to do that than the young?
