Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1 2The bravery of Shell to Sea's activists is a grand example - Irish & international protestors are showing up the Gardai & Shell's lack of regard for human life & safety. Look out Gards! How will you continue to operate without popular support?
The detention vs arrest tactic is a new and disturbing one. It looks maybe softer, because there is no arrest, though it is a tactic developing, where People's are impeded and not given a reason why. Without an arrest, there is the question of how to go about a legal defense...there was no arrest. Though it is definitely impeding the right of the public to move freely on community beach, and also the right to speak freely for the safety of future generations.
My worry is that the Garda may be following in the footsteps of the US police force, which has become increasingly brutal. As a sovereign country, Ireland has the right to keep Irish natural resources for the future generations of Ireland. Also the history of Ireland is far different than that of US, in that in Ireland, it was a revolution fought by the Indigenous publeachta na hEirin. In the US, it was a revolution fought by colonists resisting having to pay taxes to the British govt. The US constitution was based on the Indigenous Peoples of this nation, where the Haudenosaunee have been practicing the Great Law of Peace long before the US revolution. The US police and military have historically been used in the US to keep down the Indigenous Peoples, continuing genocide tactics today to obtain Indigenous resources by multinational corporations. Now Ireland is again being ravaged for her precious natural resources, and again, the People are only in the way of the profits. The Irish being the Indigenous People of Ireland, have more rights to stand against Shell. It is not an issue of environmentalism, it is an Indigenous issue, and as such, the Indigenous People of Ireland have rights according to the UN declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

There for the local fisherman and Indigenous farmers of the region have a tool to invoke and lever against the raiding and pillaging International corporation. As for the Gardai, they are paid by the taxes of the Irish in the hard one republic. Only the Irish know how to best take care of that one.
In the US of America, political pressure was put upon the courts with charges brought against the police, and then by judge, the police were ordered to pay settlements when false arrests or brutality take place. It has not always worked, in many incidents that are race related, there has been no recompense. Recently, video footage of police abusing the laws that they are paid to uphold has been used by relentless lawyers (solicitors) as irrefutable proof.
