Green MP Proposes Sweeping Reforms to House of Commons in Maiden Speech Sat Jul 27, 2024 19:00 | Sean Walsh
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.

Debt-Funded GB Energy to Bet on the Costliest Electricity Generation Technologies Sat Jul 27, 2024 15:00 | David Turver
So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Christians Slam Paris Opening Ceremony for Woke Parody of ?Last Supper? Sat Jul 27, 2024 13:00 | Richard Eldred
Awful audio, bizarre performances, embarrassing gaffes and a woke 'Last Supper' parody that has outraged Christians turned the Paris Olympics opening ceremony into a rain-soaked disaster.

Victorian Laws Against Priests Meddling in Politics Are Now Needed More Than Ever ? To Prevent Imams... Sat Jul 27, 2024 11:46 | Steven Tucker
The Muslim Vote wants Labour to abolish Victorian ?spiritual influence? laws that prevent religious leaders from swaying voters, but Steven Tucker argues that in cities like Leicester these laws are more vital than ever.

May Day! I love it !!
A day rich in meaning, from Bealtaine to the Haymarket Martyrs of Chicago in 1886 to today.
And don't ye worry - we'll all be back next time! Maybe see you there too?!
Looks like it was fun!
Much better than the Dublin one anyways, that was like a funeral march. Maybe 300 at it but they all looked bored and it was eerily quiet.
Yeah, looks great! Good to see all the auld faces out...and a few new ones as well.
Well done Cork.
At any rate they enjoyed themselves. I'd say, however, that a bunch of about fifty people marching behind a Workers Solidarity Movement banner doesn't amount to much of a 'movement'. Where were all the other workers in the city on the day? In cafes, kitchens and workplaces scanning the Indo and British tabloids, especially the racing pages, instead of buying wholesome anarchist or trotskyist comment periodicals? And five or six young women (students?) demanding the legalisation of abortion - where were all the other married women of the city? Thinking about the birds and the bees? Good that the organisers made a lifetime achievement award to Pat the Picket, though. Pat surely puts some cheer and imagination into his protests on the Old Head and other issues. Life would be much duller without Pat. And Cork Mayday beats Dublin for atmosphere.
Perhaps turning what is supposed to be the traditional workers day into a pro abortion march is not the way to go. Just a thought.
Ray you beat it to me this morning but here are a few more photos from yesterday evening's Cork May Day march.

The organising group for May Day in Cork put in a lot of work over the last while and it paid off. Well done to them.
Interesting to see the Independent Workers Union marching in favour of legalising abortion. Is the membership aware that this is policy? Wonder what the Home Helps Branch think of this. In the IWU charter it promises full transparency to membership.
It's a May Day march, lots of group brought their banners. The IWU were there in their own right. Now begone troll. I suppose you'd prefer to keep women back in the Middle Ages with their fertility controlled by unmarried priests.
Abortion rights are a workers issue. If you can't control your body how can you control your life, your workplace, your family? Abortion rights should be a part of the workers movement in general. Women's issues are workers' issues.
