So who else is sick of shell to sea?

Having watched the scenes on RTE tonight I must say I have lost any bit of sympathy I had for the Corrib gas protesters.

This project has the support of the majority of the people in this country, the courts and an independant saftey review. Blatent scaremongering has incited the people of Westport to fever pitch. I blame the far left activists and the ever present rent a protest crowd. And of course shinners is never far from a violent protest when there is mud to be thrown in the governments eye.

Just read through shell to sea web site. You can see the sort of crap they are pushing down the Westport residents gobs.

Like it or not the govenment did this deal many years ago; short of turning the nation into a communist state there is nothing the corrib gas protesters can do.

So I leave you with this point
*"The gas extracted provides no benifit to the people of ireland"
- Taxes levied on shells operation, employment in the area, the fact we have imported gas from abroad for years based on the fact we would make this gas field available and who knows how many other favourable deals were done in europe based on this.

Meh, I've had no trouble living my life entirely oblivious to whatever this Shell crap is up till now and I'm sure I'll have no problem in continuing to do so. So like I said; Meh.

Did you happen to see where the two guards dropped that guy over the barrier!
That was a bit much imo.

ireland as a nation is opposed to development, look at the second runway at dublin airport, greystones harbour, ballsbridge, the sandyford tower, corrib etc...
but having said that is it true that ireland is giving away the gas from corrib, i saw one of those posters saying that norway and other countries were getting the gas and ireland was getting none.
if that is the case then i have full support for shell to sea, if not then i have no support for them and they should not be allowed to stand (or fall) in the way of a development that will benifit the country.

Apparently according to one of the protestors there is going to be open war. I'm looking forward to the shock and awe tactics of the Irish army.

As for that stupid name, it would be like starting a boards.ie to ram protest.

Wondered about that - are they legally able to do that? Arresting and detaining is all very well, but actullay chucking someone over a barrier and into a ditch?

Without knowing the ins and outs of the Corrib debate, If I'm ever in a position where I have to defend myself or a belief against the guards, I'd be seriously pissed off if this was the attitude.

A bit much? All too similar to the May Day riots - untrained, incompetent gobsite Gardai who can't handle a situation.

**** em they deserved it, An Garda Siochana gave them loads of warnings, they didnt move so force was used, i would have lobbed all them over. The majority of them were Sinn Feiners anyway so i would have been doing everybody a favour.:D

Yes, remember those 'warriors' in the Glen of the Downs who left all the litter after them. My favourite incident there was the swampy who chained himself to the front of a Hino tipper truck and swallowed the key. He thought he was the business. The driver of the truck just removed the very heavy steel front bumper and left swampy with it on his back. What a muppet!

I love the soviet-era commie styled language the crusties/indymedia types use.

Evening of Activist video and "DANCE, DANCE, DANCE YOUR ANGERS AND YOUR JOYS FOR WE SEE TOMORROW AND THERE IS AN OGONI STAR IN THE SKY." - Ken Saro-Wiwa, murdered by Shell.

Shame on the Guards & their masters in Dublin! From Catalonia I send you the protesters of both a national issue and one with obvious global implications - sympathy & solidarity & encouragement.

Shell itself regards the free state governemnt as little more than a compliant tribal cheif , and the state regards it as its duty to serve the interests of the British establishment and the yankee Landlords in a servile manner, just as Ray Burke and Des O'Malley could sell the future of Ireland to foreigners for a few baubles and blankets and perhaps a top hat . What we are witnessing in Mayo is colonialism in action

The No23 Leninist Collective farm Workers send best wishes across Socialist Europe to our like-minded comrades in the struggle against international capitalist tyranny. We have named our latest vegetable variation in honour of your fight - The Rossport Beetroot tastes very good!
It tastes of victory!

Mike.

Imprison the lot of them till the project is done, then invite them as guests of honour to the grand opening! anti development scum!

Trying to work out are a left wing Anarchist who wants a complete ethnic-clensing style armed free-for-all or a conservative nutjob who wants hanging for everyone who doesn't see everything exactly the same way you do.

Force, to the best of my knowledge, can only be used to detain or in self defence. Warnings were given, but the Gardai were the physical aggressors and no matter how much muppetry was going on, it doesn't gave them the right to break the laws they're paid to uphold.
