Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

I would imagine that the majority of Indymedia "participants" are Dublin based, so might be better to meet somewhere in the city, at least on the first occasion anyhow - though I know its a bollix that everything seems to happen in Dublin.
I wonder if anything like this is done in other countries?
.
I think the geographical spread is not so Dublin biased?
Anyway my idea would be if something like this were to happen then it could become a more regular occurence at a more local level, so Dublin city dwellers could meet there whenever they want.
My initial idea would be for a nationwide gathering.
So you want to fuck off to the country and sit around talking bolloxs for weekend - off you go..............
Fuckin' off to the pub with your mates (while highly enjoyable mais bein sur), is the place where bollix is talked about - doing something like as has been suggested is a positive thing, that can only lead to good things.
Though regarding depp's last point:-
"Nobody's going to Win on their own
To make RADICAL progress the people have to come together (and do more than walk down the street)"
It is my hope that through the local social forums, the ISF, ESF & WSF - which "victory" and real local, national & world progress will be made. Though what has been suggested is of course a social forum in itself.
Right, I think its time to talk real bollix for a while in a local watering hole. I'm sure i'll wake up feeling totally refreshed and ready to change the world :)
While of course not everyone is from Dublin (me included), Dublin may be the easiest venue, I suspect it has the highest concentration of indyheads and as well is basically the epicenter of public transport. If ya put it in midlands i suspect that fewer are likely to attend as its harder to acess and requires more people to travel.
now Kates 2 cents!
With Pat C, King Mob, "Curious", Joe, "Just wondering", Nora and the rest! Can't wait to meet yiz all!
Might head along myself too. Will be good to hear what others have to say, and add my own voxpop too. It will also be good to be able to meet 'Durutti', and put a face and name to the person, since for some reason, he's not 'man' enough to tell us who he is, what organisation (if any) he is involved with etc...
yeah, why don't we all go off to the boglands where we can't corrupt any other impressionable minds, and then they can truck over the dishes from GCHQ-UK and microwave us at a safe distance where no innocents may be contaminated... the Dept of Misinformation may even pump out the latest Adbusters CD for an ironic touch and really fuck with our minds...
Think I'm a paranoid type? Be wary of the vague double-talk... there are people paid to disrupt us...
Sounds brillant. A bunch of hippy gibberish brought to you to by depp they guy who makes anonymous sound profound.
Newsflash fuckwit the left is utterly useless at getting stuff done and you want to have what? A fucking "be in"?
You are such a fucking tool
I think its a good idea but...
"NO prior agenda other than to discuss the creation of a better society/ community/ country/ world"
...is a bit too broad for my liking. Solving the world's problems in a weekend. Yeah right.
What about starting with what people feel they can contribute to the Indymedia project and take it from there?
Are you kidding me?? You cant win alone and you cant win with a bunch of leftsit sects. WE do NOT need to work together to win,we need to otganise the workingclass! I dont give a fuck about what the other leftist organisations is doing. Get real.
If you got a job you'd realise that. You're using Marxist 19C terminology.
Wake up, you fool, there is no 'class' anymore. Don't you read Hello magazine?
Well there's certainly no working class down in the bogs of north Mayo where they're all scabbing their pseudo-Gaeltacht grants and living the life of Reilly with the contents of the brown paper envelopes from Brussels .....
Bejaysus, even Karl Marx never dreamed up such a Utopia ....
Money for nathin', and de sheep for free .....
I don't think that was called for. :-(
It bloody well was called for .... the plain people of Ireland are busting a gut working to make ends meet, being fleeced for taxes and ripped off by the inflated property market ....
Meanwhile up there up there in North Mayo we have a Utopia the likes of which Karl Marx in his wildest dreams never imagined ..... the euros falling like manna from heaven .... of course the luxurious life of Reilly of the "poor mouth" peasantry in our "disadvantaged regions" is all well concealed from the rest of the world ......
Ye probably have some scam to get free Internet access as a "disadvantaged region" ... "ah sur can't afford de price of a compuher for de childer" ....... and then ye come on-line and think ye can insult everybody else ......
Well if ye're dishing it out, ye'll have to take it when others lash back .....

I didnt post the piece above and I wonder if that was really King Mob. I would attend in a positive spirit, I just hope that the SP wont come along and try to take over or wreck the event. (If they cant control something then they will try to destroy it.)
Seanin, ignore that fuckwit. Yep, just igonoreit. His piece was so dumb the only answer it deserves is abuse.
