The British Labour Party is completely signed up to the colonial past, over Scotland and Ireland.
It was a BLP government that sent troops to the north of Ireland.

And an equity capital sinkhole which means losers in this bubble will come looking to us to be bailed out.
Is it me or are there more Gardai up before the courts recently than *checks public records* during the previous Commissioner's tenure?

The City Council pulling out of Oliver Bond complex refit and refurb is absolutely shocking behaviour and a dereliction of public responsibility.

@ciaranmak to be clear, I am supportive of anyone who wants to protest shitty conditions but there's a bang of reactionary cultism offa this. I prefer my politics actually left wing....

@ciaranmak @psneeze @goibhniu I'll happily have a broad and detailed discussion about the nature of the Irish state and as we all well know; those who protest high fuel prices know this too and demand access to policy change with little or no understanding of what a slashing of a commodity's cost does to larger revenue not to mention class positions. This is why we have public servants and unions and others to do this. We cannot always trust them blindly but policy is a process, not a thing.

@ciaranmak @psneeze @goibhniu the state is doing something: the state is you and me and all of us here and the configuration of that state is to defend market values above all, pay obeisance to multinational capital and provide some modicum of welfare.
The colour / size / shape of The State is not incidental to this broader struggle.

Also, it is a worrying sign that protestors believe the simple statement of desire will get them want they want.
There's a peculiar politics in just standing around being intransigent.
OK, now imagine cyclists doing a slow cycle protest on national routes on a Tuesday morning. To.....i dunno.....protest shitty driving behaviour where children and older people are routinely killed.
Cyclists: make sure to gloat audibly and often about how our vehicle of choice doesn't need petrol.
Time now for the EU to make a wholesale switch to renewables. Spend proposed defence money on locally made and deployed energy infra.

@IndyRichard i see what you mean but I also appreciate that the press focusing the latest outrage means we never get to develop collective political coherence against him? Outrage is politically disabling.
