Attempting to fight the cops when they outnumber us is obviously foolish. And if we outnumber them by 20 to 1, it will be impossible to fight them - they will run like rabbits!

Gardai are saying that a non-blockade protest is allowed, so we should take the hint. There are thousands of legitimate locations for non-blockade legal protest.

It is encouraging that some politicians are speaking up about fuel prices. I hear that even Paul Murphy wants to hang out with the far right farmers now :)

The far right here is the government itself, looking after big business and feck the small guy is not lefty politics at all, it takes precedence over any showy woke nonsenses, that's just surface dross to give the chattering classes something to get all high and mighty about. Meanwhile, the real business of the government continues, and that is look after the monied and well connected so that they may further feather their nests at the expense of the rest of us.
 
Only fishing is on the road after you took the left turn at Creagh Church toward Dublin. Lads from the mental always fished there.

I was thumbing there one day when a lad pulled up and asked a lunitic how many he caught. The answer was historic.


You are the fourth lad today.
 
Niallis O"Connor, first Foynes protestor spoke very well on RTE. He praised Garda Superintendent Martin Fleming, who facilitated the entirely peaceful protest. Despite doing whatever he had to do to become Superintendent, it seems Fleming has retained at least a shred of common decency. Good man!

The Journal is allowing all sorts of outrageous comments :) Also a big piece admitting that the vast majority support the fuel protests, if not the tactic of blocking fuel.

Obviously the system will infiltrate or even start lots of opposition movements, and Gemma is right to point that out. But it is still good to see people prepared to take peaceful action and Gardai prepared to tolerate it.
 
Except when they didn't, remember the Gardai have just destroyed this peaceful protest.
 
Not here as such, but many on fb just cling to the “few bad apples” theory

Yes, indeed. The Gardai have used violence, but they did give people the option to move beforehand, which is decent of them. We must beware now: if they are nasty, they will start prosecuting the owners of all the tractors and trucks that they happily allowed to protest. Hopefully, they will not be that evil.

The Gardai have repeatedly said that peaceful, non-blockade protest is allowed. So let's step up the peaceful, legal protesting.
 
Liberty Stream Network are reporting temporary micro demos springing up all over - Carrick on Shannon, Tullamore, etc.

Now would be a great time to start peaceful demos outside refugee hotels. When the cops rush fifty or a hundred lads to police it, we start another demo a few miles away. We can keep them running from pillar to post. All peaceful. All legal. All constitutionally and EU protected.
 
Ireland's least lovable homosexual, Green party Fuehrer Roderick O"Gorman, has come out as anti-Semitic and pro-oil. He criticised protests at oil depots and urged us to protest oustide US and Israeli targets instead. Welcome aboard the anti-Jewish train, Roddy.
 
Nobody in the protest addresed the route cause of all the poblems in this country, ie Jewish finance, indeed many protesters were looking for more hand outs that would come via Jewish finance, literally the equivalent of a heroin addict solving his problems with another fix for the day.
