What was the Irish SWP renamed itself the Socialist Workers Network in 2018, I think. And doesn't seem do anything under its own name now as far as I can see. But is still linked to the rump-SWP in Britain.Last edited by DCI Harry Batt; 30-10-2021, 22:28.

You can really only tell the PBP/SWP continuum by the shitey typeface of some of the placards being the same as U.K. Swappies when RBB's mob are leafleting on O'Connell st or trying to infiltrate a worthy protest somewhere. Those lads are all about the front movements.

Ireland is literally made of wind. Denmark has less wind than Ireland and is powering itself 50% by wind, and is on course to hit 85% by 2035.
Ireland is already at 35% energy from wind, so just keep going on that road.

Also dying today, Austin Currie, who was a leading civil rights campaigner and one of the founders of the SDLP:

One of his most noted actions was a 1969 sit-in in Caledon, Co. Tyrone, over sectarianism in the allocation of housing, though best to draw a veil over the 1990 presidential election in his twilight years.

Labour has reverted to Connolly's starry plough, though the contrast between the current party and the one that last used it in the Eighties is rather stark:

Even that is an acquired taste
This is apparently a cat. We have a framed black and white image of this somewhere. I never really warmed to it. I always much preferred the poem Pangur ban written by a monk in the margin of a 9th century missal.

They weren't trying to draw cats in a realistic style though, this was a deliberate way of illustrating, possibly heavily influenced by Pictish stone carvings, which definitely fed into Irish/"Scots" High Crosses. I fucking love the what the fuck is this "Pictish beastie" found on the reverse of cross slabs all over Pictish Scotland, and which might have been a marker of a kin group, or maybe not:

The only thing that comes to mind is a sea horse, or a truly outstanding crop of mushrooms.
There's a bunch of depictions of cats in the book of Kells, and no two are remotely the same. I don't think they were massively concerned with realism.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 14-11-2021, 18:34.

I'm fairly sure that's a depiction of that rare, mythical beast that's half-duck, half-flintlock pistol.
