Today's protest outside the Liskeard Constituency Office of Sherryl Murray MP.

It is a very rare occasion indeed that people in Cornwall stand outside an MPs office and protest about that sitting MP. 

Organised by a group of individuals at short notice, we suggest that although the number was relatively small, the massive social and mainstream media expressions of disgust at this MP added to this little demonstration should act as a clear warning to Cornwall's MPs.

Bloody Sunday is a date that many associate with the events in Derry on January 30, 1972. On that day the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association called a protest in Derry. At that peaceful demonstration British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilians killing fourteen people. This was not the only ‘Bloody Sunday’ in 20th century Irish History. Today, 21 November, marks the anniversary of British forces opening fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Dublin.

Shocking news coverage continues to emerge about the levels of violence and intimidation being used against Native American protesters in North Dakota. Protesters from some 200 Native American nations have been objecting to the construction of a huge new oil pipeline which passes over the Missouri River less than a mile upstream from a “reservation” belonging to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. It crosses tribal lands that contain relics that have already been disturbed or damaged during work on the pipeline. There are major concerns that a leak could threaten the area’s water supply.

Lough Foyle (Irish: Loch Feabhail) is the estuary of the River Foyle (Irish: an Feabhal) that lies between County Derry (Irish: Contae Dhoire) which is currently located in the part of north east Ireland that remains under British colonial rule and County Donegal (Irish: Contae Dhún na nGalland) in the Republic of Ireland. Since the partition of Ireland in 1922 ownership of Lough Foyle, has been claimed by both Ireland and the UK.
