THE ORGANISER OF the Love Music, Hate Racism gigs has criticised the Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union for not allowing an anti-racism gig take place the day BNP leader Nick Griffin visits the college.

Kurt Nikolaisen of LMHR said that he contacted the Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union (TCDSU) the day after he saw this article in TheJournal.ie about Griffin being invited to speak at the university’s Philosophical Society debate on immigration.

St. Pauli enjoys a certain fame for the left-leaning character of its supporters: most of the team’s fans regard themselves as anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-sexist, and this has on occasion brought them into conflict with neo-Nazis and hooligans at away games. The organisation has adopted an outspoken stance against racism, fascism, sexism, and homophobia and has embodied this position in its constitution. Team supporters traditionally participate in demonstrations in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, including those over squatting or low-income housing, such as the Hafenstraße and Bambule. The centre of fan activity is the Fanladen St. Pauli.Take a look at this video.

The Irish Times - Wednesday, May 4, 2011

GIVEN THE actual and potential scale of the refugee numbers resulting from political upheavals in Tunisia, Libya and other Arab states, the latest row between France and Italy about accommodating 25,000 of them shows how little readiness there is in Europe to share this burden of conflict on its southern flank.

It should be remembered that Tunisia alone is hosting 630,000 refugees from the fighting in Libya, most of them migrant workers from other African states. And it is worth recalling that during the Balkan wars of the mid-1990s, some 350,000 refugees were accommodated in Germany alone.

Love Music Hate Racism Kicks Off the European Week Against Racism at The Grand Social , 35 Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1 celebrating music and  diversity.

This event gives musicians and music lovers the opportunity to come together and show their support  the European Week Against Racism and Ireland’s Love Music Hate Racism Campaign.

European Week Against Racism (EWAR) runs from 21th to 27th March, where thousands of people actively engage in activities to promote and celebrate equal rights and the diversity of Europe.

The week centers around the 21^st of March - declared by the UN as International Day for the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination. The date marks the historic racist tragedy of the murder of 69 anti-apartheid demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa in 1960.

Headliners MuteFish are a 5 piece band from Dublin, Poland, Lithuania and the Ukraine who released their latest album to a capacity crown at The Button Factory. With a wide variety of musical backgrounds between each member (from Trad, Reggae, Punk etc..) they play not only original pieces but also alternative interpretations of Trad and other genres.

Support comes from Funk,Rock & Trip Hip newcomers Lotuseater who are about to release their anticipated  debut album ‘Guides’ ,  and an acoustic set from Padraig Digan’s new project Autumn Long , a true original with a collection of musicians most certainly to be reckoned with.

Following the live music , Martin Ansbro will be spinning an eclectic mix of Funk , Soul and Disco till the wee hours of the morning.

Doors are at 9pm, with a suggested donation of €4.

A legal ruling giving youngsters born in the EU the right to stay in a member country with their non-national parents could have major implications for Ireland, experts have warned.

The Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI) welcomed the judgment by the Court of Justice of the European Union which means Irish-born children should be able to remain in Ireland with their immigrant parents, who would also have the right to work.
