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.

Bridget Phillipson is Wrong About the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act Tue Jul 30, 2024 09:00 | Dr Julius Grower
Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

I'm trying to find more info on an individual called John Neale.
Described as ''London Irishman'' and an ''English-Irishman with a cockney accent''[1], Neale was a ''young cockney member of the Irish Citizen Army''[2][3].
He acted as a lookout on top of the Metropole Hotel during the armed uprising against British rule in Dublin, Easter Week, 1916.
On the friday, ''As the building was being evacuated, his ammunition pouch was exploded by a stray bullet...Neale, whose lower torso was ripped to shreds, swayed and gasped to his neighbour, 'Can't you stand away and let a fellow lie down'. He was set down on a pile of mail stacks where he told Lieut. Traynore, 'I'm dying comrade' ''. He died the next day. [4]
I've found a detailed description of an individual who matches Neale in everyway - using the word 'comrade', acting as a lookout and being fatally shot at the evacuation of the Hotel Metropole. Yet, he is described as an ''American''[5]
Any hints, tips or advice on finding this man's story, his background and his family history?
Please email me at matchgrams@gmail.ie
Thanking you in advance.

Do you have to be a fan of The Sex Pistols to be an Anarchist?
"You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum." - very anarchist! :-)
Most of the anarchist groups and meetings I've been at over the years have neither been fully public nor operated without any sort of procedure. Quite why Daffy would expect online anarchist discussion to be any different I'm not sure.
Lighten up! I was just trying to be humouous. Sorry, sir, it won't happen again! :-)
"Pullman strike" which was possibly the third most important industrial action in US history? Or am I the only one who makes that association? Well anyway - Mr Pullman was a capitalist of the lock stock and cooper barrel type. He owned everything. During a recession he put up the rents on his workers' homes (they lived in his town - at his factory - worshipped at his church) at least three times. As reports of the time attest - some workers got a paycheck for only 6 cents after the rent increases had been deducted from the wages which at the same time were being reduced.
In the end Mr Pullman tried to prove he owned US troops and agents too.
Ah sure I'm boring you.
What is the meaning of the choo choo train please?
There was a recent article which listed some of the decent leftie Irish bloggers by Chekov http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86836
There's the excellent go hiontacht Irish republican board and forum
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86731
We all know about P.ie but let's face it getting past all the rightwing space cadets and trolls on top of those of our own cookie persuasion is not really worth the effort defending Chavez or Chomsky. http://www.politics.ie
And in the last months the IMC UK pages have been turning up Irish writers. http://indymedia.org.uk The Irish Times does a weekly online discussion thing which seems to be moderated by the establishment but you might get a comment published, certainly loads of oldtime indymedia regulars have posed the weekly "yes" or "no" sides.

Piratebay have blog spaces open to whomever wants to use a non-censored server
http://baywords.com/
We have to spread our messages in as many ways as possible, using our resources which reflect and encourage refinement of our own platforms or specialist positions - but never forgetting the space we have in common!
& lastly re: last comment : The Pullman choo choo strike led up to Mayday. No anarchist should not know about it.

Was a member of that republican forum you mention but while it had some potential its gone under in the last month and is currently a complete mess ,am now settleing in on the forum Cael links to here on his posts. members intrested in discussions on economy, infrastructure and the enviroment. a big step above the usual republican forum which consists of childish bragging, slagging and trolling.
Still only reading at the moment trying to catch up but look like theres a few wsm members on there too. thanks cael
