The Northern Ireland flag protests and Direct Action
Date: Mon, 2013-01-28 12:23
If there is anything we can take from the continuing street protests in loyalist heartlands is that we are from powerless if we utilise direct action rather than constantly lobbying our politicians and peacefully marching from A-B.

Poor turnout for Vigil for 'Life' despite massive spending
Date: Sun, 2013-01-20 20:20
Saturday saw another desperate attempt by the anti-choice coalition to prevent legislation coming to the Dail to allow abortion where a women's life is under threat. Despite months of preparation, a spend that must have ran close to a million euro, and the parish priest at every mass in the country telling catholics they should attend, less than 15,000 turned up. Compared to the 150,000 women who have had to travel to obtain abortions in the last decades this amounts to almost nothing, a handful of bigots bussed in from all over the country.

Stormont plan to scrap Housing Executive as Flag protests continue
Date: Wed, 2013-01-16 16:19
In the midst of a media storm over the flag protests our local politicians have one again nailed their colours to the flag that does not distinguish between green and orange- that of capital and greedy profiteering. The proposal by Stormont minister Nelson McCausland to scrap the Housing Executive originally set up to provide fair allocation of public housing is another pillar in the ongoing savage attacks on our class.

Anarchists not to blame for flag riots in Newtownabbey
Date: Tue, 2013-01-15 13:36
A WSM member responds to the crazy claims of the Newtownabbey Times. As the sectarian flag riots continue to burn, one paper the Newtownabbey Times in sensationalised headlines in December of last year attempted to blame riots in the Newtownabbey area on “anarchists hell-bent on damage and destruction.” Quoting South and East Antrim Community Federation spokesman, Tommy Kirkham, a former independent loyalist councillor who previously represented the UDA-linked Ulster Political Research Group, who claimed that known paramilitaries were behind the trouble as “conv
Croke Park talks are a farce - unions have no mandate to enter negotiations
Date: Tue, 2013-01-15 13:30
According to RTE (Monday 14th Jan), “The opening negotiations on a new public service agreement have ended after a meeting between management and unions.” It’s tempting to ask whether anyone on either side of the talks has even a basic idea of what the word “negotiations” means. Even in a hostage situation, if the police open “negotiations” with the hostage takers, it’s usually with a tacit understanding that there will have to be some concessions made in order to secure the release of the hostages. In this case however, it’s akin to the police negotiator discussing with the hostage taker whether the hostages are to be killed by gunshot, stabbing or poisoning. The notion that the role of the negotiator is to secure the release of the hostages has been ditched.
