The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Tommy, sorry to hear that the Israeli Attack Forces have hurt you. I treasure the memories of working with you covering the defeat of the Solitaire/Shell at Glengad back in Aug/Sept 2008. I didn't doubt your courage or compassion then, and I cannot doubt it now as once again you offer proof of your passion for standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Occupied Territories. You have done great work on this side of the world keeping the sufferings of Palestine and its people in public view, and I admire what you've done in covering the ongoing protests in the West Bank. Keep doing what you're doing out there, don't let the bullies win, send my love and solidarity to your brave beleaguered hosts, and I'll hopefully catch up with you when you get back to Ireland.
Salud Tommy!
Irish company Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH ), the subject of the protest which Tommy was documenting, continues to supply cement to the regime in occupied Palestine for the construction of the separation wall deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice. CRH’s profiteering from apartheid is placing Irish citizens, international observers and Palestinians in jeopardy as they peacefully protest to highlight its complicity with the Zionist regime in the theft of Palestinian land and water resources and creation of walled-off ghettos for the containment of Palestinians .
Trade Unions and others should call on pension and fund managers to divest from CRH immediately. Individuals should contact their pension manager to demand that their pension is not invested in CRH. CRH could yet be forced to pay reparations to those who’s property and livelihoods have been damaged by the construction of the apartheid wall on Palestinian land.
Well done Tommy, your still standing tall despite thier efforts to silence you.
This news is despicable and is oh so typical of global corporate behaviour - to which greedy gombeens in Ireland tripped over each other to subscribe - where they'd take a lump out of their Granny's ear to add the ha'pence to the greasy pence.
Will be on to Israeli embassy and CRH corporate HQ on Tuesday (Mon. Bank Holiday).
Marbhfáisc orthu agus bail ó Dhia go deo ort Tommy.
We salute you comrade - Naoise, Maura et al. X
I'm sorry to hear about this, but I suppose its just a daily dose of reality for the Palestinians.
I hope the CRH divestment demo went well in Dublin today, I really wish I could have made it. Solidarity to all those in the occupied land doing the undoubtedly important job of observation and documentation. Your all an inspiration to me and fill me with a passion of rage and love. I look forward to eventually making my way to Palestine.
Justice for Palestine
Tommy your total commitment to human rights for Palestinians and others is like a light shining in a very, very dark world. Your courage and non-violence have inspired fear in the hypocritical Netanyahu government and among its lackeys. Outrage is not strong enough a word to express the feelings of those who know you and who admire your unselfish honourable stand in protesting the horrific wrongdoings which the State of Israel perpetrates day in, day out, while they lie to the world about their "wish for peace with the Palestinians". Your courage is remarkable. Knowing as you do of the weekly barbarism that is visited by the same State on non-violent demonstrators and journalists like you at the Bil'in wall, you have still gone there regularly, telling the world through your camera of the evil that is happening in Bil'in and throughout Palestine.
The wall where you were assaulted and injured is the same where you friend, non-violent activist Bassem Abu Rahma was murdered two years ago. It is the Wall at which they downed Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire with a rubber bullet in April 2007, where many hundreds of non-violent Palestinians, Israelis and international human rights activists have been shot, gassed, wounded, covered with foul smelling fluid by soldiers who are under the command of one of the most immoral armies in the world. It is where, only last week, Imad Rizka was shot in the forehead, his forehead was shattered and needed replacement surgery (You did did an interview with him and Anat Sagy near the end of the week). On the day you yourself were assaulted wih violence by Israel, and during the same protest, a female journalist was arrested, two Al-Jazeera cameramen were taken from their car and arrested, a girl was struck from behind by a tear-gas canister, a photographer, Haitham al-Khatib, was hit in his stomach by another canister,
The actions of Israel do not stand up to international reportage and scrutiny. They know that and are afraid.
The Israeli propaganda machine is busy around the world. Their Ambassador here never misses a chance to lie and cover up the real face of Israel. The pictures and reports from the West Bank are a powerful antidote to the lies and cover up. If the USA stop the immoral funding for Israeli arms, Israel will have to make peace with all of the Palestinians. George Mitchell, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama will have to visit Gaza, talk to Hamas and Fatah, restore to Palestine the democracy that was stolen from that land when they elected the Hamas party to power after which Israel vetoed the election within the hour and the US, EU and all the other lap-dog "powers" wagged their tails and shamefully fell into line. Then came the holocaust of Gaza.
Irish people can hang their heads in shame because of the complicity of an Irish Company, Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH) in the Israeli destruction of Palestine and Palestinians. You and your companions should hold your heads high because of your non-violent protests. These non-violent protests will eventually succeed where so-called Peace Summits have always failed. Gandhi did it and so will you.
Tommy, we all wish you quick healing, and tender loving care as we do to all who have have suffered on because of their stand for human rights and dignity for the Palestinians, be they Palestinian, Israeli or international. Thanks for all your heroic work in Palestine.

Brave work as always Tommy - solidarity to you and all those bravely resisting the brutality there.
Hope you`re ok Tommy! Peace and solidarity!

Keep up the good work tommy. Good to see CRH being targetted.
Best wishes to Tommy from all at the regular Sunday S2S meet tonight - we salute your commitment to, and integrity in, all that you do.
