Labour?s ?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Britain's new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is on record calling Donald Trump "a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" and has refused to apologise. This is clearly going to be a problem, says Peter Harris.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1The group mentioned 'Tyrone NGA' is like other similar six county groups a creation of the provos to undermine the old NGA and it is this group - and others who are to follow suit - who are breaking with the partitionist party led by Crown employees Adams/ McGuinness etc etc.
the NGA has as a rule " that Members of the governing body are not allowed by the rules to be a member of any political party". This is not looked on favourably to say the least, by the Provo leadership who want to control everything. It also states that the NGA's guiding principle is "Only a 32 County Irish Republic represents the true aspiration of those who gave their lives for Irish freedom". That alone would put it at odds with the provos. The provos accept partition and even administer British rule in part of Ireland. They are no Republicans by any strech of the imagination though some naive do try to label them such.
its high time the all decent people who still believe in the Republic declared on Easter Week turn their backs on psf in exactly the same manner that they have turned theirs on Republicanism, truth, decency and principles. The list posted above can help us find Easter commemorations that are about those values and certainly not about supporting British rule in reland.
I thought the National Graves Association was very strictly above party politics. That's certainly the case of the main NGA who look after such graves as Wolfe Tone's in Bodenstown and do so without political favouritism whether it's Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Workers Party, RSF, IRSP or anyone else.
They will not criminalise us, rob us of our true identity, steal our individualism, depoliticise us, churn us out as systemised, institutionalised, decent law-abiding robots. Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal.

Do not be misled by the promises of politicians. Remember that the whole history of Ireland is a record of betrayals by politicians and statesmen, and remembering this, spurn their lying promises and stand up for a United Ireland - an Ireland broad based upon the union of Labour and Nationality.
James Connolly
Irish Worker, April 4, 1914.
The greatest strategic move by the British Forces this week took place, not on the fields of Belgium or France, but on the floor of the House of Commons. In that fortress the forces of the enemy are too firmly entrenched to fear defeat, and therefore their strategic move was crowned with brilliant success. The problem was not how to defeat a nation in arms battling for all that makes life worth living, but how to fool a nation without arms into becoming the accomplice of its oppressor. And the strategic move in question is already being hailed as a great landmark of national progress.
Yes, ruling by fooling, is a great British art – with great Irish fools to practice on.

They all died in vain because all republicans always sell out. That is one of the most important lessons of Irish history, that those engaged in republican politics always eventually sell out the working class.
Irish people should turn their backs on all republicans including the latest batch of sectarian reactionaries, because they will eventually sell you out as well.
Squabble all you want about your graves, the rest of us are more interested in the impact of the budget and losing our jobs!
