In an age where technology promises efficiency, Shane McEvoy's recent encounter with an NHS booking service chatbot paints a very different picture of inefficiency and frustration that is symptomatic of deeper issues.

'Statement regarding Justin Barrett debate at UCD on 13th October 2004 by the AFA'

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | feature author Saturday October 16, 2004 19:55author by Indymedia Ireland Editorial Group - Indymedia Ireland Report this post to the editors

AFA Action At UCD Debate Sparks An Ongoing Debate on 'No Platform' Issue

From The Newswire: "Anti Fascist Action (AFA) wishes to state that we are the organisation which prevented the fascist Justin Barrett from speaking at an 'Immigration Debate' in University College Dublin last night. A number of other people attending the event also joined us in preventing a platform being granted to Barrett.

AFA has a policy of 'No Platform' for fascists, which means that anyone attempting to organise fascist or racist political groups will not be permitted to do so. We believe in political and ideological opposition to the far right, and have been active in Ireland for the past 12 years.

The 'No Platform' policy relates to ANYWHERE fascists may attempt to organise or spread their repugnant views. It is quite humourous to hear spokespeople for debating societies attempting to claim UCD as an ideological asylum where the likes of Justin Barrett can claim sanctuary. This is not the case.

We would also like to clarify regarding a young male member of the audience who spoke at the end and claimed he was an innocent student who had been assaulted. As a result of AFA monitoring and information received over several years we know for a fact that this bonehead is a member of a 'National Socialist Black Metal' band calling itself 'Ketzer'. He is a frequent contributor to the openly Nazi 'Stormfront' website."
