Some 40 people took part this lunchtime in the march from the top of Grafton street to the Greek embassy as part of the International Day of Resistance and Solidarity. Leaflets proclaiming that ;Our lives do not belong to the state' were distributed and the banners unfurled.

A greek comrade gave a short speech on what was happening in Greece and the we dispersed read full story / add a comment

Meet at top of Grafton St at entrance to Stephens Green @1pm Saturday 20th Dec Part of an International Day of Resistance and Solidarity the call for whcih came from Greece amidst the resistance against state oppression and murder there. Police accountability will only occur when our demands become loud enough to be unavoidable. State violence must be resisted at all levels be it in the form of the police or more stealthy in the form of the cutting of vital public health services. Cutbacks that will cause the deaths or ordinary people will only be stopped by making our resistance to them loud, and effective. Solidarity! read full story / add a comment

Everyone knows that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at GW Bush in Bagdhad in December 2008. It's a story which got its global media coverage with predictable attitudes and spin & could easily be forgotten, were it not for a few factoids & considerations as well as precedents. Which I'd like to share with people here without going into too much pseudo-analytic expertise. It's all about how shoe tossing was immediately explained to "us" as having resonance with muslims in general and Iraqi's in particular. read full story / add a comment
