BOARDS & STUDENTS.
IT SEEMS THAT YOURS TRULY – JB – IS ONE OF THE LATEST
‘ PIN UPS ‘ ON ONE OF IRELAND’S LARGEST BLOGSITES ……
BOARDS.IE
WHILE I AM SURE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO POST BLOGS
ON THE POLITICS ELEMENT OF THIS SITE ARE REASONABLE
PEOPLE & FIND MY VIDEOS OF SOME INTEREST – I SEEM TO HAVE
ATTRACTED THE PERSONAL ANGER OF SOME OF ITS LEADING GURUS .
INFORMED & SENSIBLE CRITICISM OF ANY POLITICAL /ECONOMIC
POSITION , SHOULD ALWAYS BE WELCOMED – BUT PERSONAL
ATTACKS SHOULD BE FACED DOWN WHENEVER POSSIBLE .

TOMORROW , 3rd NOV 2010 IS AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE WHOLE
STUDENT BODY IN IRELAND. A NATIONAL PROTEST CENTRED ON DUBLIN HAS BEEN CALLED BY THE UNION OF STUDENTS IN IRELAND
( USI ) TO PROTEST PRIMARILY OVER OUR GOVERNMENT’S ATTEMPTS TO DOUBLE THE NATIONAL REGISTRATION COLLEGE FEES FROM 1,500 EUROS
P.A. TO 3,000 EUROS P.A. & POSSIBLE GRANT REDUCTIONS IN DECEMBER’S BUDGET
OUT OF AN ESTIMATED THIRD LEVEL COLLEGE TOTAL OF 70,000
STUDENTS APPROX – THE USI ORGANISERS HOPE THAT AT LEAST
20,000 STUDENTS WILL TURN OUT TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR SOLIDARITY
AGAINST THESE MOVES.
IF THEY DO NOT GET A SUBSTANTIAL TURN OUT – THEN NOTHING
IN THE WORLD WILL MOVE THESE STUDENTS TO PROTEST —
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE REPRESENT OUR FUTURE .
IF THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO PROTEST TO DEFEND ATTACKS
BY THE STATE ON THEIR OWN INTERESTS – THEN HOW CAN WE
EXPECT THEM TO PROTEST IN DEFENCE OF OTHERS IN OUR
SOCIETY.
( I HOLD SERIOUS RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS WHOLE STUDENT BODY -
BUT I AM PREPARED TO HOLD BACK ON MY CRITICISMS UNTIL AFTER
TOMORROW. I REALLY HOPE THAT IT IS A HUGE SUCCESS.)
