What has he delivered to date (Joe Higgins) and what do you expect him to deliver from the EU Parliament?
A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.
Who cares, he annoys the guys people want to annoy. thats all that matter now, being constructive is a thing of the past. Its revenge I want.
Statement by the Communist Party of Ireland
on the Thomas Cook dispute
4 August 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Communist Party of Ireland condemns the arrest and detention of about twenty former employees of Thomas Cook Ltd, along with a number of officials of their union, the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association, in a dawn raid raid on the premises that the workers had been occupying since Friday 31 July.
These detentions mark a new low in the Irish legal and court system and expose once again the true nature of those institutions. There is clearly one law for the rich, for employers and corporate interests and one for workers, their trade unions, their families, and their communities.
We are living in a society in which people at the very top have been engaged in various dubious and illegal activities. We have banks and property speculators, who in the eyes of many workers should be in jail, walking the streets, appearing in the mass media, lecturing workers about having to take cuts in wages and terms of conditions, telling us that we have “priced ourselves” out of jobs. Yet nothing is done to bring these people before the courts.
The Communist Party calls on the whole of the trade union movement to stand up and defend the rights of these workers and the TSSA. It is symptomatic of how far out of touch elements of the ICTU and the leadership of the Labour Party are with working people that they have yet to speak out on this outrageous attack on a group of workers.
Is there any particular reason why anyone should pay any attention to the irish communist party views on this or any other situation? Anyone give a dam? they havent been too successful in the last 100 years.
How many people do the CPI represent
Oh goodie. A statement by the most irrelevant, worthless, useless and pointless party in Ireland.
"Irish citizens . . . on ratification of the Treaty could be forced to become Euro soldiers." Sinn Féin claim on Maastricht in 'Democracy or Dependency' p.6. in 1992.
We have nothing to lose but our change!

Whats the story with the communist bookshop in Temple Bar in Dublin (Connolly Books?)
Is it gone bust?
"Who will bailout the IMF after FF is finished with them?"
Most likely, because no communist actually wants to pay for anything themselves.
Very good
