Good to see a sizeable group at the protest. Apologies for not being able to attend. Hope to see some of you at the next protest.

Rain, rain, come to Shannon.

I was delighted that your protest on Saturday was ignored by the media. I think it was sad the amount of attention they gave you at the Salthill Airshow. I do hope they continue to ignore you. I think you and your group cause more disruption and anoyance to the public than any USAF aircraft has ever caused. Do you really not have anything better to do? You had 60 people approx at the Saturday protest, yet at the Salthill Airshow only about 20 turned up because of poor weather. I do hope it is misserable weather for any of your upcoming clown acts.

"I think you and your group cause more disruption and anoyance to the public than any USAF aircraft has ever cause"

Like the time that we dropped that bomb on the wedding party in Afghanistan, or remember when the shannon protestors dropped 'little boy' on hiroshima, or the 'Turkey Shoot' on the road to Basra. Man the USAF are fucking amateurs. All they can do is block a road for a couple of hours in an effort to draw attention to the "disruption and annoyance" that is caused by the weapons of mass destruction used by the Shannon protestors. Makes you laugh really.
