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.

And if it had I would say, “Fuck them!” Especially Madan Gupta, as he is a former screw in the Blocks, were 10 Republicans died on Hunger Strike while Gupta’s colleagues laugh in their faces. As for Mc Neill he only wants money! A LOT OF MONEY! A £100.000 for himself and “FUCK THE REST OF THE WORKERS.”
PS the regional committee has all ready called for a review of the practices of the ATGWU in region 3 in the past 3 years.
This is nothing but a cheap publicity stunt if they have the balls to do it, and why is the IRSP giving support to Gupta, how quick they forget their comrades of 1980/81
Support should be given to these workers. I am surprised though that the SP, as Gordon is an SP member, are taking the tactics of individual sacrifice and the hunger strike. As a democratic centralist organisation I presume the SP have agreed this tactic
I say this simply as I believe that it is the wrong tactic and secondly as Gordon is ill this would be very unwise.
Building workers unity and cross community and trade union mass mobilisation to highlight, fight and to win this struggle is the way to take this fight forward.
Gordon is being interviewed on the news in ATGWU headquarters presenty, talking about why he is now on hunger strike.
good to see even T&G top brass (or is that future top brass) now read Indy media.
If the T&G have no worries why not give the Air port workers an open investigation?
Well, i'm personally _very_ ill at ease about people doing hunger strikes when not in prison, but we should ALL be supporting these workers, whose union has (inexplicably?) deserted. This has been ongoing for a long, long time and the way the T & G have treated them is scandalous. People don't spend years paying subscriptions just so their union can get them sacked for no reason. People who argue against direct action and for 'reforming the unions' take note. Good on yez, good luck.
T&G today agreed to the hunger strikers demand for an investigation.
Well done to all involved.
Scabs out of T&G
However, didn't the SP disagree with the 80, 81 hunger strikes? So now what has changed that sees one of their members agreeing to go on hunger strike. What happened to all of that mass workers unity ? This is a huge change in policy, has this been agreed with members. It has even been reported on the CWI site.
So amazed your understanding of the policy of the SP during the hunger strikes is that they disagree with any hunger strikes on principal, think you might want to re read that bit of history.
So the SP is for individual members going on hunger strike in preference to mass working class action in this case.
I never thought I to would see the day when the SP strategy was to urge members to go on hunger strike to win a fight. How times change
wrong again
They were not on hunger strike or they are not SP members?
