NO PLATFORM FOR FASCISTS
Cork Communities United Statement on Noow Live's "Interviewing Britain's Heritage Fascist ft. Nick Griffin"
Cork Communities United
Against Austerity and Division
Joins us to discuss the next practical steps to take against the rise of the far right in Cork and beyond. Cork Communities United public meeting as part of Nighttime CO-OP organised by My Goodness. 7PM on Wednesday 24th June, Quay Co-op Sullivan's Quay.
Hello Mastodon we are an anti-fascist and anti-austerity group from Cork, formed in response to the rise of far-right politics in Ireland and worldwide.
Cork Communities United stands for :
- Appropriate housing for all
- Decent facilities and services for all communities
- Holding the government accountable
- Opposition to racism, hatred and the far right
- A better Ireland for all
- Unity over division
📹 The far right caught on camera moaning about the poor turnout at their racist rally on Saturday. That's what you get when you platform people like Justin Barrett and "Clann Éireann"
🚨 Tomorrow 🚨
In response to escalation of violent racist attacks around the country Cork Communities United are calling a rally on Grand Parade straight after the Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign rally - approximately 2:30pm
Ex member of the neo nazi National Party, Derek Blighe has called an antiworker, anti immigrant rally to deflect anger away from the millionaire landlords & slumlords responsible for the housing crisis. Come together on June 7th to say no to the antiworker violence of the far right.
🗓️ Fascism and the far-right in Ireland
public meeting, 28th May
A talk by historian Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc on the history of their movement and ways of organising against them.
C9M Nazis marched through Paris last week. Don’t want to see similar scenes in #Cork with fascist activists like Blighe leading violent chants of ‘get them out’?
Come to the Homes For All, Not for Profit rally on 7th June 1pm on Grand Parade to stand against the landlords & their far-right pets. ✊🏼
Yesterday, RedFM & Neil Prendeville a.k.a Hand Solo hosted a hate fest against Cork’s small Roma community. Let it be known that Prendeville - who masturbated on a plane - regularly amplifies the same hate & fascist ideology that resulted in the extermination of Europe’s gypsies.
A CCU delegation will be attending the Ireland Against Racism carnival in Dublin tomorrow. Please join us if you can!
September 27th 1pm Garden of Remembrance, Dublin
Join the counter-rally on Grand Parade on 7th June at 1pm. The far-right are against the building of new homes, they defend landlords’ ‘right’ to evict people into homelessness & to sit on 166,000 vacant homes in the country! They have no solutions, they only serve landlords.
The Ditch revealed undeclared property belonging to the housing tsar, media focus was then rapidly shifted to left TD’s not answering a question from the rag known as Gript & Ken O’Flynn TD - caught with multiple undeclared properties - was leading the pile on. Why would that be?
The blame for the housing crisis lies squarely at the doors of FF/FG/GP/LP & Independent Ireland. Fascists want you to blame the powerless for a crisis caused by landlords. Their headliner is a proud Hitler fanboy. On Grand Parade, 11th October @ 12 PM, Cork says no to fascism.
🗓️ You’re invited !
Cork Communities United are hosting a table quiz fundraiser, with funds going towards anti-racist and anti-fascist community organising in Cork city.

The Long Valley, Cork
A man lies dead. His name is Yves Sakila.
Five men took him to the ground, held him down, held a coat over his head, used a knee to press on his head and neck.
The man cried out repeatedly, in clear distress and pain. Onlookers took video footage but didn’t intervene.
Those who held him down didn’t get off him, didn’t stop.
He was physically restrained and held down, by five men, for at least five minutes and likely considerably longer.
And he died.
Cork city council voted to name a bridge after ardent fascist, Séamus Murphy.. 10 FF/FGers, 1 II (racist Noel O'Flynn) & 2 indos (far-right weirdo, Albert Deasy, but also lib historian, Kieran McCarthy). Explainer from a dissenting socialist cllr..
