We need you help to stop shell in rossport!

On Thursday 20th January An Bord Pleanala announced their decision to
approve the Shell high pressure raw gas pipeline. The decision shows the
farce of project splitting, which forces authorities to pass small dangerous
sections of projects as the rest of the expensive project has already been
built. This is the last chance to resist the plan by the Irish Government,
state bodies and Shell to force their will on communities and on the country
as a whole, regardless of proper process, economic sense, people’s safety,
environmental laws and human rights. Whilst the people of Ireland are being
crippled by the cuts in public services and forced in to huge EU and IMF
debt, the great gas giveaway is the elephant in the room that could be our
solution. The unjust deal can be renegotiated as we have successfully seen
in other countries. The people of Ireland should have a say in how we
sustainably manage our natural resources. The struggle against Shell is a
struggle for everyone in Ireland. You can be part of it. Read more >>

Phuck The Scum State Wankers Club I'm Voting Horse Outside

In our pup tent we can suck down home brews
And remember money broker Cowen--
And his no-down loan that brought the bad news
That sent us to the street in our home town

Later on we inquire
How our dream so backfired
We followed the rules
We're feelin' like fools
Living in a wanker wonderland Read more >>

A brand new subgrouping within the English Defence League has been formed (void of all publicity), the EDL Nonce Division, offering fascist kiddie fiddlers the opportunity to protest against the unfairly tough stance meted out to child abusers in hardline Islamic states. Children and young people plentyful on EDL marches, put away your stained raincoats and purchase the brand new range of EDL merchandised paedophile gear. Read more >>
