AN award-winning Irish documentary about the controversial Corrib gas pipeline has struck a chord with the international community after it was picked for screening at two prestigious international film festivals.

The Pipe follows the lives of fishermen and farmers from Rossport, Co Mayo, who rise up against Shell Oil's plans to build a pipeline for natural gas through their county.

    i was talking to some people the other day, about how the Irish got britain the fuck out of ireland. with bombs and sunday bloody sunday and that.......the Irish kicked Britain out.


    but it seems the English didn't give up. they tried another way. they couldn't beat the Irish through force, given history i think that accurate, so they tried economic means. the Irish are the Irish; like fuck you and fuck off....and it seems capitalism, empire capitalism...has won. how the bankers have so much control over a people...there is something wrong with that.
