Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

'Thugs' Seek Jobs at Shell HQ

category mayo | environment | news report author Friday June 12, 2009 17:26author by london Report this post to the editors

solidarity with rossport


The main doors at Shells headquarters were closed to staff at 9am today, 12 June as protesters dressed as ‘thugs' turned up for a job interview. Shell security locked all doors as protesters tried to enter the building for what they said was a job interview "we hear Shell are hiring thugs to sink ships in Ireland".

Protesters tried to enter the Headquarters but the doors were locked as the went in. The doors remained locked for about an hour and a half, despite the various demonstrations the protesters gave of their 'thugery' skills even simulating how they coud hold a fisherman captive why sinking his boat.

One of the protesters Samantha Johnson said "Shell have been hiring hit squads to terrorise local protesters at their activities abroad, as with the Ogoni people in the Niger Delta. Now, they have imported these methods to Ireland. Indeed, last month a former Shell security guard was identified as one of the mercenaries employed in an assassination plot in Bolivia".

This protest is in response to an incident in Rossport, Ireland at 2am yesterday morning where 4 masked men sunk a local fisherman's boat, with the owner and a crewmember still on it. 2 of the men were armed and held the fishermen while the others went below deck to sink the boat.

One of the protesters today Sean Reilly said "This shows the extremes Shell go to, to get what they want. They are willing to put 2 men in hospital for vocally expressing opposition.
