Farage Calls for Referendum on European Convention on Human Rights Wed Jul 24, 2024 17:39 | Will Jones
Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

there is going to be an inquest.
RIP
My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
She was a Truth Warrior.
Sorry to hear of the loss of such a woman of conscience, bless her.
RIP comrade Elaine Boyle
CS
Elaine was a wonderful person - always full of energy and purpose.
She died while campaigning against injustice and corporate greed. In other words, she died as she lived.
The world has lost a little of its colour today.
The importance of international solidarity is greater now than ever, as governments fall over themselves to wring every possible penny from the pocket of the working man, for the enrichment of the very worst people in our society. It is difficult to believe that courage is still a requirement for those wishing to march through Dublin city - that they should be at risk from the police in Ireland in 2010 is an outrage.
My heart breaks for the family of poor Elaine Boyle, a strong and committed woman whose passionate concern for the rights of others led her to be arrested, thereby setting in motion a chain of events leading to her tragic death. No doubt the gardai will investigate themselves thoroughly and conclude that none of their members was in any way at fault.
A sad end to a proud and united workers' march for rights.

Elaine was not arrested,she entered Pearse St. Garda of her own volition on saturday evening, barefoot.
I recieved the information by phone and made an assumption based on the fact that she was taken from the police station in an ambulance.
I assumed that there was a polical arrest involved.
The Service yesterday was a fitting tribute to Elaine. On the cortege were Palestinian and Cuban flags.
Dear Friends,
Yesterday Elaine Boyle was given a big send off. As was her wish a humanist ceremony was held in the Uniterian Church in Stephens Green. The church seats around 400 people and many people were forced to stand outside. Her Funeral cortege was led by a young kid appropiately named Fionn who symbolically carried a wooden sword, he was accompanied by his sister Rowan. A large number of flags were carried behind the cortege including The Irish Starry Plough and Palestinian and Cuban flags to represent some of the things that she was interested and involved in. A fine poem that was written in Elaine's honour was recited by Robert McElroy the Tara Campaigner, and her Brother Michael spoke movingly about his sister. It was a great show of respect for Elaine and it was what she richly deserved.
our deepest sympathy to elaines family. her tragic and untimely loss has left a void in our lives that it will take a long time to fill if ever.a great loss.we mourn her untimely passing.rest in peace comrade.
Why do people have to sensationalise things?
The Guards and the Health Services, on this particular night did nothing wrong?
Please check your facts before posting onto a public forum - such as the web. . . .
OK they may have failed her miserably, all her life, but there's no question of she being dragged to Pearse St and then taken to hospital - South Africa Style. . .
Don't jump from the phone / idle chat to publc media so wrecklessly - this has cost life in the past . . .
