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.

Sinn Fein start 24 hours of Protest

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Monday December 06, 2010 23:17author by seedot Report this post to the editors

As the snow comes down and temperatures stay below freezing, Sinn Fein activists prepare to camp outside the Dail. Tomorrow they'll be joined by various other protests and passed by well paid TDs on their way to do the IMFs bidding.

By the time I got down there at6 9.30pm the snow was starting to get heavier but spirits were strong. The RTE news in the car was only concerned with the weather - politics seemed to be boring everybody in Montrose. But in the next 24 hours the Minister for Finance, who 12 months previously introduced the last of the harsh budgets was prepared to turn a corner and introduce yet another defaltionary budget cutting services and wages for ordinary people, raising taxes for consumers and workers - but of course not for corporations.

This time it's different - because this time we have to run the budget by our new paymasters in the IMF, ECB and EU. Everybody you talk to is annoyed by what is happening - but obviously the snow means we can't really do anything about it.

Marching up and down outside the Dail a dozen or so Sinn Fein activists are braving the snow to let people see some resistance. Tomorrow they'll be joined by others - marching from Stephens green or Parnell Square or wherever, bringing pots and pans, placards, vuvuzuelas - whatever is needed to show the Irish rebel spirit is not completely dead and buried.

Bring them a cup of tea and a better camera to show whats happening.

author by TD - Galway Unites Against Cutspublication date Tue Dec 07, 2010 00:07author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Bravo! That's the spirit - I, along with some 30 people that I know in Galway will be travelling to Dublin tomorrow to join you. As Fintan O'Toole put it in his book Enough is Enough: What the great and the good really mean when they use the word is not that the financial fallout is manageable. It is that the people are managable. The assumption is that you can squeeze health and education, do almost nothing to create jobs, lock the economy into a downward spiral of cuts and depression, and there will be no long-term political or social consequence. Underpinning all the gambles on the banks is the ultimate gamble - on the infinite masochish and/or gullibility of the Irish people.

What this treasonous government of ours has to realise:
We are not manageable.
We are not masochistic.
We are not gullible.
We are angrier then hell.

Ole! Pearse doherty is currently delivering a rousing speech in the dail. It's nice to see some youthful passion and idealism for a change. Good choice donegal voters. Naturally the FF trough swillers have already scuttled off to the bar and he's talking to an empty dail. They aren't interested in hearing alternatives which take the needs of ordinary people into account and advocate burning of the rich bondholders and banks.
