Yeah, it's right on the harbour in Ringaskiddy, close to where I live as well, close to lots of residential areas They've actually been trying to get planning permission for it for 17 years and just had it granted so there's going to be appeals now on that. I don't understand how they got it (well I do but you know) it's on a site right next to the naval base in Haulbowline which apparently might have to close because of it, a state run facility being closed by a private company??? somethings rotten in Denmark

Yes, what an attention seeking idiot protesting the purging of gay men in Chechnya! How dare he try to make a difference!

Livia 14-06-2018 03:11 PM

Tatchell certainly is fervent about what he believes and like Niamh said, the world's press are in attendance, so probably the best place for a protest. However... while I admire many of the stances he takes, Peter Tatchell and the OutRage! have in the past made it their business to 'out' gay people in the public eye... politicians, clergy... whether they wanted their business broadcast, or not.

He is out of the Police Station
Told Not To Protest , again.

He was just Live on SkyNewsHD

He was wrong about that. Doesn't change his otherwise tremendous record.

Russian police would say that wouldn't they.
At least he provides a nice contrast of principles vis a vis Robbie who is happy to open for Putin, anything to help flagging career

It was a while ago, too. I wonder whether he would do the same now? Probably not. And yeah, the citizens arrest of Mugabe... legendary. Although he was really badly beaten after that.

sounds like someone got a massive backhander, I know they have to put these things somewhere but in a residential area is very suspect

Agree. He was impatient and frustrated that some who were secretly gay did not support gay rights in public. He's matured as a campaigner since then.

It's obvious why they want it right on the harbour too so they can start importing other countries waste as well

So he's not allowed to protest unless he does it with the possibility of being murdered or?

No, he is just not allowed to protest during the world cup.

Well he wasn't allowed protest here either according to the OP, I don't get your point?

bots 14-06-2018 05:03 PM

he can protest as much as he wants, but he can't act surprised that it would result in him being arrested
