Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Paul Williams who works for Tony o Reilly Wrote AN article in the sunday world two years ago , stating that the Shell to Sea campaign was run by the IRA and Sinn fein. This enabled the Gardai to start battoning the protesters.
Well it seems the Gards have got him at it again, he has made a documentary on the Corrib Gas troubles.He is obliged to do this of course because he is under Garda protection due to articles he has written on gangland criminals.
The main pionts he is trying to make, is the extreme intimidation on the people who support the Shell project. The fact that in spite of Garda presence in Rossport Bellmulet area there has not been ONE charge broaught against anybody .
Any person with half a brain would know that if the IRA were involved in this campaign against these traitors, there would be a lot of dead bodies lying around the place by now.
THIS RUBISH WILL BE SHOWN ON TV3 AT 9 pm on TUESDAY.
Sir Anthony will be pleased.

Here's a selection of photos from the weekend. They cover many aspects of the weekend, from the over-the-top Garda presence to the weekend's actions to camp activities. There are some landscape shots of interest too.

The final set of photos from my selection. Scenes from the action on Sunday evening.
Viewers might notice a Garda stepping on a protestor's arm about 22 seconds into the second video segment. This was a deliberate act by the garda involved, as evidenced by his failed attempt to do the same act immediately before he steps on the arm. This is typical of An Garda Síochána's 'public order policing', especially when it serves Shell's purposes in Co. Mayo.

Video clip 2 from Sunday
This clip has plenty of Garda use of force, as is usual with them, and there's indirect evidence of an attempted assault by a garda on a protestor. This is what happens when bullies in possession of impunity lose an argument, and the Garda Szekler Legion are surfing on 20-foot waves of Impunity (with a capital I). Shell and the Irish state cannot be permitted to get away with their greedy violent and poisonous designs - to stand aside and permit their plans is to acquiesce in the doom of humanity.
P.S. Fair play to D. Rovics for coming to Glengad and seeing for himself what's happening. He also played a Sunday lunchtime gig for the many young children present at the gathering, as well as driving an injured protestor to hospital in his car. He's gone up loads in my estimation - thanks David!
