“Banks / Blueshirts”? Has “blueshirt” acquired an extra meaning?
3 days? What is this Puck Fair? Has there been extensive consultation as there was previously as to whether or not union banners were welcome on the march? (Previous decision was no) a single day that combined a public show of support while some networking and planning the various workshops would have made sense, but activiites on a Monday? Aren’t most people that the likes of Occupy should be reaching out to in work that day?
Thanks, but no thanks. Having encountered one of the Occupy main movers elsewhere the hostility to the Left, organisation, unions etc was enough to convince me that Occupy, in Ireland at least, is a dead letter. Nice idea, won’t go anywhere.
I’m almost certain that the household charges workshop will include people who are forming a breakaway from the CAHWT within which they were incapable of working civilly with others.
Wrong there CMK, I was asked to do a Workshop on the Household Charge, and I agreed to do it. Anyone else wants to come and give a hand feel free.
At the same time I don’t disagree with your first paragraph.
Glad to hear it that you’re doing the workshop. There are few individuals who have made noises about forming a separate household tax campaign.
I suspect that said individuals probably aren’t to be taken seriously, CMK.
There is the problem in Wexford and also a new emergence in Donegal this week which I had heard being muted a number of weeks ago. Looking at the group leading it I would suggest that it is a PSF front.
No doubt, Mark. But they take themselves very seriously indeed and that self-conscious seriousness, and corresponding sense of entitlement to lead, blinds them at a fundamental political level. See, for instance, the recent activities of the Anti-Eviction Taskforce, with which some are closely linked, where an admirable stance was undermined by subsequent revelations about the person on whose behalf the taskforce had acted.
