Applications for asylum were up 14% on the previous 12 months after a surge in migrants reaching Britain in small boats, according to official figures. So much for Labour's promise to "smash the gangs".

offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

Unite to demonstrate at the Dáil today over inaction on jobs crisis

category dublin | worker & community struggles and protests | event notice author Tuesday May 12, 2009 01:02author by Worker Report this post to the editors

Members of the Unite trade union will mount a demonstration against government inaction on jobs at Dáil Éireann on Tuesday, May 12th at 14:30.

The protest marks a growing frustration among trade unions and workers over a lack of action from within the Dáil on saving existing jobs, the fight to keep people off the dole and the need to protect workers with a pension protection fund.

“This government is bound by EU law to introduce pension protection, and by the will of the people to act in the best interests of the country,” said Unite regional secretary, Jimmy Kelly, who will lead the protest.

“They talked and listened but did absolutely nothing to save workers' jobs and pensions at Waterford Crystal. They watched and waited but did absolutely nothing as SR Technics commenced shutting down 1,100 skilled jobs at Dublin Airport.

“They need to wake up to the fact that borrowing to subsidise unemployment and bail out banks will not work.

”They need to wake up to the fact that the only path ever taken successfully out of recession has been to keep people in work, and stabilise finances through increased tax revenue.

“Working people are losing patience with their lack of action.”

ENDS
