London
Sinn Féin proudly announce that they are sending a team to speak at the European Social Forum 2004 in London.

“Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams MP, party MEPs Mary Lou McDonald and Bairbre de Brún and Deputy Mayor of Belfast Joe O Donnell will attend this year's meeting of the European Social Forum which is taking place in London on 15 - 17 October. Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams will address the opening rally on Thursday evening and a session on the peace process on Friday. Mary Lou McDonald will speak at the seminar 'Peace in Ireland - Visions for the Future', Bairbre de Brún will speak at the seminar 'Living in Fear: Civil Liberties and 'The War on Terror' and Councillor Joe O Donnell willl speak on the theme 'Ireland - Living with Sectarianism and Racism' “

It must have been a tough Call for Joe. I’m sure he would have been an excellent choice for Saturday Night.

Item No.1873
Title: The Fight For Public Housing

LOL!

I love the way that SF wears its socialist badge on its sleeve for these events, then hides it again when the Americans call round...

I wonder if anyone at the ESF will remind Bairbre and Gerry about their love of Private Finance Initiatives. Or their support for Coca Cola factories. Or...

I'm sure you can think of other examples.

Is anyone going to the ESF?

I find it amusing that they claim to have a great sense of humour yet have no sense of Irony.

Yesterday SF Newsroom had Daithi Doolan Going on about weaponry being an insult to Victims !
Hello Daithi, have a word with Martin Ferris.

"The general public require an accountable and accessible police service, not one tooled up with more weapons of repression designed to murder and maim indiscriminately."

Quite. Thank God the IRA 'community policing service' is about to call an end to so-called 'punishment' shootings. We know our human rights will be secure when we feel that first CS gas projectile in the back of the knee.
