For those wondering how to protest an easy solution is to simply stand at the dail gates....now for this to work you obviously need more than 3 people...perhaps 20,000 -100,000 would be satisfactory....enough to block the roads, and if there is enough people perhaps block every entrance to prevent workers entering and leaving the dail....if that goes well we could block off nassau street too....bring a bit of peaceful mayhem...rattle a few cages...

It's like this....... hippies, 'lefties', pensioners, policemen, teachers, health workers, soldiers, taxi drivers, road sweepers, etc, etc....... when it comes to being f**ked over by the self serving 'elite', we're all the same........ we're all being screwed over.

Surely any protest must be about getting the numbers out to protest, and since we should all be aware of the common ground, to protest collectively and as one entity, that entity being all of us who are being f**ked over by these blood sucking parasites.

The Occupy Wall Street movement wasn't only 'lefties and hippies', although it has to be said, often it's the 'lefties and hippies' who have the balls to get out there in the first instance....... there were pensioners, young parents concerned for what the world they were raising their children in had become, etc.

You know, some people use the term 'lefties and hippies' as a derogatory descriptive term...... when in actual fact, aside from the fact that everyone, in a so called free society at least, has the right to hold their beliefs, many 'lefties and hippies' are some of the nicest, most balanced and good people you will meet. And I say that as a person who does not consider himself and generally would not be thought of as a 'leftie and/or a hippy'.

What we need is one fight / one voice, with a common foe...... we all know who 'that foe' is.

In Ireland, are you for real, stand together, get a grip this is the land of Touts and squealers.

How dare anyone criticise your beloved leader :rolleyes:

Chill out, I do not know what age you are, but I am going on for 64, over the years I have protested,picketed got arrested for what. The result is the same, nowhere. Protest all you want, and when you get older look back and see what you have achieved. I know people who protested with me back in the seventies, and are still doing it today, from hugging trees in the Glen of the Downs to protesting about protesting. It is a social event for protesters and burned out hippies.

I'm sorry you seem so burned out. But with respect, that's your business. The point still stands - if you don't fight for rights, you don't get them. History shows that, regardless of what your personal experience has been. Not least the history of our own state.

Look at the protests in Brazil, sparked over a small rise in public transport fares. Catalysts come from surprising places.

One has to be amused with a situation where Gerry Adams is asking questions regarding money disappearing from a bank.

Ash.J.Williams

what's the best way to get 1000's of people to stand at a certain spot at a specific time?

mikom

I see the usual suspects are out throwing out terms like "lefties", "crusties", "hippies" etc. in the hopes of dividing opinion.
Strangely the word "hairies" was not mentioned yet, but I'm sure the profferer of that term will be along as soon as his cash in transit duty is over.

As amusing as Edna Kenny pretending to be outraged at the tapes.

steddyeddy

Kenny saying we should have an enquirey to determine the truth. We know the f-ing truth you clown. It was a scam.

Enda responding to Mattie Mc Graths calls for a 'short sharp enquiry' coupled with well resourced garda criminal investigation by the DPP,


Enda

"we will have a parliamentary enquiry in to this in the autumn"



I hate that man i really do.

Enda seems more concerned to swipe at parties of the past than taking bloody control of this.


Spineless.

IMO, expecting people to spontaneously protest... you'll be waiting. You need an organised group to kick-start any protest, or it'll never happen. To my mind, the obvious choice would be the unions. I'm not a unionised worker, but if they were to organise a national day of protest (not necessarily mass rallies, just a national shutdown) I'd certainly take part.

The unions created part of this problem through social partnership. On of the reasons we overspend so much is that most expenditure is paying salaries. There is very little else to cut so your not going to get a workable solution there. They represent the interests of their members only.

The Gardaí, auditors and senior civil servants have been investigating Anglo and what went on there for years. It's complicated stuff, and you cannot start arresting people based on faux online outrage and a desire for revenge.

It isn't how it works.

'Busted' I know what you are saying..... however this is about more than a simple political ideal and it is not about typical political differences. I get it..... in the North I have always believed that where there were differences between protestant and the catholic, between loyalist and nationalist, the real 'war' was actually between the working classes of both sides and those who sought to control them, often by fanning the flames which fed the division, when in fact, if for instance the loyalist working class could see that their strings were being pulled by much better off individuals carrying the same 'loyalist' membership card.

The working classes of both sides in the North had/have much more in common with each other and their daily struggles than they had with the much better off controllers of their destinies.

The common enemy in Ireland is the self serving 'elite' group who seek to control everything and to fill their own boots at every opportunity and to hell with everybody else. 'They' are the enemy and other less important differences are... well.... at this time, less important.

So you are a protest snob? You will only protest with people just like you who think like you and talk like you? I am no socialist but i will stand shoulder to shoulder with ANY citizen who helps to bring attention to this.

Who said they were?

With Gerry and his cohorts you knew they were criminals. Some of these guys are head of the biggest financial institutions in the Land.

You knew what you got with the IRA. Simple as that. Drugs and Robbery.

Ordinary decent criminals.

Ash.J.Williams

although i do draw the line at supporting Eirigi...i would put that aside if it at least gave us a time and date to rattle the cages, with a decent crowd.
