Don't be fooled by bills of rights, warns Law Professor James Allan. They failed to stop lockdowns (everywhere) and are just tools of Leftist judicial activism.

Renewables are not cheap and are never going to be, says David Turver. With over £12 billion being paid in subsidies to or because of renewables each year, the claim that renewable will save us money is a myth.

The Guardian's Marina Hyde has mocked Russell Brand for his baptism in the Thames. It's easy to scoff, says James Alexander, but at least Brand, like his new religion, is trying to find the truth.

Sligo May Day Demonstration

category sligo | anti-capitalism | event notice author Friday April 28, 2006 20:59author by John Dunne - Connolly Forum Report this post to the editors

May Day 2006 - International Workers Day, will be celebrated with a commemorative ceremony at the Lynch memorial plaque in New Street, Sligo, on bank holiday Monday the 1st of May at 8.00.p.m.
This year’s event is being organised by the Connolly Forum.

The President of the Connolly Forum, Councillor Declan Bree said that it was appropriate that the ceremony would take place in New Street outside the former home of John Lynch. “John Lynch was a committed socialist and internationalist and was the founder of the modern Labour movement in Sligo. He was a trusted and close colleague of James Connolly and he played a major role in the development of the labour and trade union movement at both a local and national level.

“He led the workers in the famous 1913 Dock Strike in Sligo and organised one of the few units of the Irish Citizen Army established outside Dublin.

“John Lynch was first elected to Sligo Corporation in 1913. He was Mayor of Sligo on three occasions and served the people of this community with distinction until his death in 1939.” said Councillor Bree
