Riots could sweep the streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed, Rachel Reeves said in 2016. Yet the now-Chancellor's prescient warning was nowhere to be found in Labour's response to the current disorder.

Cobh Protest at US Warship

category cork | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday July 09, 2006 21:39author by james Report this post to the editors

Anti war protestors picketed a US warship in Cobh today.

About a dozen people picketed the US warship Sullivan in Cobh today. They were met by crash barriers and a heavy garda presence including armed Gardai. A Garda photographer took photos of every protestor and any member of the public they talked to.

A number of people came and expressed support for the picket, including several American visitors who had their photos taken holding placards. They refered to themselves as "anti-war Americans". There was local support from both Sinn Fein councillor Kieran McCarthy and Workers party rep John Jeffries who organised the protest. WP and WSM activists travelled down from the city to take part.

This is the second picket organised in Cobh by Anti War Ireland on US warships, a town with a long seafaring history, and a strong current of people who have always opposed imperialism.

However not everyone supported the protest, some Israeli tourists expressed hostility as did a local bar owner who was quite upset when she saw press photographers taking shots of the demo. She explained how her bar "needed theses ships" "employed 20 people". The pub is bedecked in Four large US flags and has a huge sign welcoming the ship. Some Cobh publicans were notorious for this sort of behaviour during the British occupation also.

John Jeffries reported that US naval personnel were on guard duty on the quay on Saturday night, a clear breach of the constitution of the state. This behaviour was not in evidence on Sunday as the Gardai had taken over in numbers.

Well done to all involved! Not many people would want to spend their Sunday picketing, particularly with the world cup on today. So mucho respect for those who turned up!

Cobh always had a mixed history. Good anti-imperialist history - as pointed out above - but also always had a reactionary element that loved having the Royal Navy based there. James Connolly was battered out of the town one time.

Good to hear that locals got involved with the picket, especially a local councillor. Well done all!
