Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Just as we were leaving , after the protest was finished, the Special Branch showed up, with some uniformed support.
Now people who attend Rossport solidarity protests are well-used to being photographed, filmed, and otherwise recorded, and although we may not like it, there's not much we can do about it. However, it seems the gardaí feel that they shouldn't be subject to the same rules.
They seem to think that you need to ask someone's permission before taking their picture, even in a public place. Maybe that should perhaps be the law (although there might be problems with CCTV cameras if they have to get permisssion form everybody they film...) but the fact is that is isn't the law.
And losing you cool and grabbing the camera isn't really legal either...
Excellent. Makes those bullies look like right pricks.
That brilliant!!
"Is Garda your first name". LOL
hardly the shell to sea campaign any more. Locals want to move refinery but have dropped demand for shell to sea. New plan...new name required.
Tell you what Andrew- if Shell respond positively to the heartfelt suggestion by some local people (who are desperately worried about the prospect of a summer of compulsory acquisition orders, beatings, jailings, and all the rest), then we'll abandon the campaign.
If however, Shell ignore this suggestion like they have every other compromise that's ever been suggested to them, then we'll keep on protesting.
Time to practice what they preach.
Shell's new advertising slogan
What is happening , it there a split with in the camp now.
In regards to this PR about a new terminal site.
Shell Inc. reported $9.08 billion in profits for the first three months of 2008. I guess they save a bit of money using gardaí as free security.
All credit to comrade Karlo for these..
That video is brilliant, pure class!
After a sustained series of pickets of this Shell station by CYM and Shell To Sea comrades for the past 6 months, the managers have finally decided to pack it in and throw their lot in with Topaz.
As the photos show, it is currently being demolished and being converted in a Topaz station that while being a cosmetic change, will still be using Shell Oil.
The previous pickets were a success and drummed up a significant amount of support for the campaign in the local area, links to these are below:

Thanks to all the comrades who came out on those cold pickets and supported the cause!
Solidarity.
