And may I ask how much do you get paid for this activity and protests? Is it viable as a fulltime occupation or just a little extra?
This was a great piece of non-violent direct action. Any ideas on how to get such activities more publicity? Obviously the mainstream media need to be bypassed.
The British Navy were scared away.
They slinked off.
They never even dared to fire a shot.
It will be a good day when people can concentrate on what the protest is about, and not which flavour group is doing it, and who isn't, and who is in the pictures etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
As for those who think a protest is justified when one group do it and not when another one does, catch yourselves on (or get a job with the Herald).
I for one am glad that OSF protested against the British Navy (but no photos of any OSF?). It now appears that OSF and RSF made that protest as well as Éirigí. Wouldn't the protest have looked more powerful had all three groups protested together and called on other groups to support?
OSF, you appear to be opposed to British rule in Ireland. The leadership of your organisation with the full inclusive and democratic support of Sinn Fein members are implementing British rule in Ireland. Do you understand the problem? Put away the water pistols and protest as republicans without the OSF banner.
I'd say the sailors must have a good launch at your poxy demonstration.
Whose getting laid tonight? You or them?
It is ridculous that OSF protest against a boat in Dublin but at the same time Adams and co had no problem meeting Tony Blair and George Bush when they were pummeling Iraq to bits. The banner says "Brits Out". Why? At this point its pretty clear SF don't have a huge problem with British presence in Ireland or anywhere for that matter.
