Solidairty in Dublin
I found my recent trip to Dublin incredible, empowering and inspiring. The people I met were outstanding. The locals in Dublin were helpful when I got lost and seemed willing to engage in discussion about the protests and were open minded. Maybe I was lucky because I am sure there were people who bought in on the media bullshit but I didn’t meet any. The activists I met were sincere and passionate in their beliefs. Although there were tensions, mainly over the accommodation and policy towards the corporate media, I felt a strong bond between us. Things weren’t perfect, they never are, but I think the DGN did a damn good job and I hope we can do as well next year when the G8 come to Britain. I am sure we will learn from some of the problems encountered in Dublin. It is only through hardship and struggle that we learn.
Solidarity is our strength

we will hope to have reclaimed our country from these elements in the near future, and the umbrella organistation of many thousands of social assemblies and collective members in neighbouring Britain who are called generically "wombles" have decided to help us.
Especially since we trounced Surrey in the cricket this afternoon.
