Union members and social activists are gearing up for what may be the largest, global coordinated action against Starbucks ever.

The Workers Solidarity Movement is helping to organise a picket of the Starbucks on Dame street in Dublin, at 2pm on Saturday 5th July in solidarity with the Global Day of Action called by Starbucks union organisers in Spain and the USA. This picket will be preceeded by leafleting workers in Starbucks stores around Dublin.

I'm trying to find more info on an individual called John Neale.

Described as ''London Irishman'' and an ''English-Irishman with a cockney accent''[1], Neale was a ''young cockney member of the Irish Citizen Army''[2][3].

He acted as a lookout on top of the Metropole Hotel during the armed uprising against British rule in Dublin, Easter Week, 1916.

A certain Michael Forbes, who happens to be the Irish ambassador to Israel, is going to lecture:

I notice that the Unemployed Resource centre has played host to a screen of Ken Loach's Bread and Roses. I wonder is there any scope for establishing a political film society that could hold screenings regularly?

All welcome

Sick of lying politicians, greedy landlords and high prices and the blight of sectarianism, constantly being told tighten our belts while the rich get richer? The war maybe over, but there has been no ceasefire in the class war against us in the so-called ‘new era’ through forthcoming water charges, cut-backs and ‘privatisation’ of our public services...

THE PARIS COMMUNE, LIP, and
BUTTERFLY

“Here on the slopes of
Hills, facing the dusk and
The cannon of time
Close to the gardens
Of broken shadows,
We do what prisoners
Do,
And what the jobless
Do:
We cultivate hope.
Mahmoud Darwish
From the poem Under Siege
