?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.

Sean, your aggressive, angry tone, name calling and desire to silence someone over serious concerns isn't likely to give anyone reassurance that all is healthy and happy at the Dublin Food Co-op.
If one or more complaints have been put, then any well-run community organisation should have policies and procedures to resolve them with fairness (i.e. hearing all sides of the story), due speed and transparency. It shouldn't become something for the Gardai to sort out, now or in the first place.
For this to become 'dirty washing' on Indymedia speaks volumes of how badly this has been handled.
persistant rantings by one peeved individual about an unsubstantiated allegation are a now becoming tiresome. Indymedia is a marvellous thing but there are clear drawbacks to an approach of letting anyone at all write anything without verification or substantiation in any way. I would suggest that rather than sniping and sneering from the sidelines and hoping to see signs of the co op falling into chaos without you, either bring forward some evidence or a complaint of some kind to the Gards or stop it and go away. The spreading of Doom and Gloom stories about "how awful the co op has suddenly become (since I threw my dummy out)" amount simply to a position of wishing the food co op to fail which, when people visit they will find is not happening, as I said before, nice people buying and selling wholesome, fairly traded and organic goods in a very relaxed atmosphere. Long may this remain. Indymedia is a great thing but as with any other media we must not automatically believe everything we read.
Again I will say there is a whole other side to this. As I understand it, perhaps one of the only two people involved in this incident (apart from others who tried to intervene), which as I understand it resulted in no injury whatsoever to anybody would be the very person whose place it would have been to investigate and bring this forward - have they chosen not to? There is an alternative view of this incident and the atmosphere and series of events that led to this heated incident between two individuals. Did you witness the event? What is the exact nature of the assault? From accounts I have heard to call it a violent incident is overly dramatic. If the main person who might be a complainant wants to bring this forward, they would be in a position to do so, let's put it that way.
