Solidairty in Dublin
I found my recent trip to Dublin incredible, empowering and inspiring. The people I met were outstanding. The locals in Dublin were helpful when I got lost and seemed willing to engage in discussion about the protests and were open minded. Maybe I was lucky because I am sure there were people who bought in on the media bullshit but I didn’t meet any. The activists I met were sincere and passionate in their beliefs. Although there were tensions, mainly over the accommodation and policy towards the corporate media, I felt a strong bond between us. Things weren’t perfect, they never are, but I think the DGN did a damn good job and I hope we can do as well next year when the G8 come to Britain. I am sure we will learn from some of the problems encountered in Dublin. It is only through hardship and struggle that we learn.
Solidarity is our strength
