No Red Arrows in Galway. No Israeli butchers in Gaza

Bread and circuses over Galway Bay, depraved appetites down below

Yesterday, in the Galway Alliance Against War organised 99 Red Balloons Peace Event, revulsion and outrage were expressed against the highjacking of the relatively pristine Volvo Ocean Race to piggy back a display by the RAF Red Arrows over Galway Bay, touting militarism with their bullshit antics in the sky and catering to the desensitized appetites of the faithful down below - some of whom, in the throes of their warped morality hurled abuse at the peace mongers assembled in the Spanish Arch Plaza.

The rally was graced with the presence of activist and US singer song writer Dave Rovics who was highly condemnatory of Israel's recent blut-fest in Gaza (see Youtube Video).

Galway City Councillor, Catherine Connolly (LP), Dermott Connolly, Galway County Councillor (SF) and Galway County Councillor, Seosamh Ó Cuaig (Independent Socialist Republican) also attended and addressed the protestors.

Enough pollution was spewed in the sky by the ecologically hostile Red Arrows without GAAW adding to it and even though all the balloons were biodegradable, ecology friendly GAAW did the decent thing and refrained from releasing them.
