Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6The Cork Anti-War Campaign is most appreciative of the statement issued by the Workers' Party on behalf of Fintan Lane.
We would welcome similar statements from other political parties/organisations, trade union branches, branches of political organisations in your area, councillors, student unions, campaigning groups, anti-war groups, or from any other group/organisation/individual you think might add their voice to the call for Fintan’s release. Already, the Cork Trades Council, the Irish Anti-War Movement and Joe Higgins TD (in addition to the Workers' Party) have called for the release of Fintan Lane. We need to add to this list. Please send copies of statements to corkantiwar@hotmail.com
one how to say Hi to Fintan:
write "Hi Fintan!" on a postcard.
now write :
Fintan Lane,
Limerick Prison,
Mulgrave Street,
Limerick,
Ireland
on the right side of the postcard.
Now put a stamp at the top right hand corner of the postcard. If you live in Ireland, you have a wide variety of stamps to choose from, you might like to select a natural or christmas theme. If you live in the UK you may be able to find one those rare stamps with the English Queen, remember it's a monarch.
2nd thing:-
(for the stickys) How are the brickies doing?
It's been a while since we heard about worker affairs in the Bricky sticky dept.
would you give us an update?
That Fintan used to be an Irp!!
Is the ice thawing around Sean's heart.
I'm not sure how sniping at the Workers Party is helping Fintan. Much better to write him a letter.
Don't you people read the Iraq blogs??
They wanted the invasion to happen. It's confirmed too by this Oxford survey, carried out by Iraqis.
To the Iraqi people, Fintan was just one more pillar of Saddam's repressive state.
Polls seem to show that most Iraqis were happy to see Saddam go, just as in the early 1990's polls in Britain showed people were happy to see Thatcher go.
Polls also seem to show that most Iraqis are unhappy to be living under occupation. Probably if Thatcher had been got rid of because the US had invaded and occupied Britain the same would have been shown there.
In other words don't confuse support for the removal of a nasty leader with support for war and occupation. An argument that anti-war movement understood before the war and that polls show Iraqis seem to understand now but which seems to be beyond the pro-occupation crowd.
