Two Lovely Ladies gave out free Barry's tea. Unfortunately (and no fault of the girls) it tasted like Peter Barry's/Fina Gael policies: Cold and tarlike

i wish Gregor Kerr was my teacher.

Schoolboy: There are many teachers similar to Gregor, including Joe Higgins, but they have differences. Although there is a common denominator that goes through those teachers and their organisations, some of the differences don't seem to allow for enough common ground.

Gregor is an anarchist and doesn't agree with institutionalised goverment, Joe Higgins, for example does, but as a good platform for starters. Their is a communication of sorts between the various left groups/parties/individuals above, including People Before Profit, SWP and numerous other sprigs of various activist groupings.

The problem is that there is no umbrella or organisation that can maximise the effects of what they agree on. We have yet to have a meeting at which they are ALL sitting around the table, talking about that organisation and what it can/will do, but their is always hope. There are more public meetings planned similar to the one above, so you will have opportunities to learn more.

Google the above organisations and you will see how much they have in common. If you want to get involved, great, then try get some friends thinking the same way.

If you want to change the carpets, you may need to get into the house, but who knows?

Good luck.

What I want to know is how the hell did Gregor run the gauntlet of the catholic church interviews for primary teachers?? Surely they would have smelt an anarchist type a mile away! Kudos Gregor! Get them while they are young! :-)
It seems the priests have a rather different take on that phrase though. :-(

the elite seem so strong but we are the real people power. just why did FF get back into office, but due to greens fooling people into thinking they were on their side but have shown the true color of the greens, yellow (cowards) on one side and royal blue on other (elitists)
scum who really dont care for people but more for the snails than us!
we must learn to unite, now i hate organized religion but still am a man of faith and i ask to please as left wing liberals dont run me down due to my faith or others as there are many like me who want an end to this national oppression from the rich majority!! who are committing more crime than that of the more 'so-called' lower classes!
take care~
