Boycott the British warship beer beano

I was pleased to see a report in this newspaper last week highlighting the impending visit of a British Royal Navy ship involved in the illegal invasion of Iraq. My pleasure stemmed, not from the fact that yet another warship was being welcomed to the shores of this supposedly neutral peace loving country, but rather because people were being alerted well in advance of the visit. Usually we only hear about this kind of visit close to or on the day they take place making it difficult for peace activists to organise protests. So, congratulations to Daily Ireland, you have done the nation a valuable service by exposing this outrageous visit well in advance. The HMS Ocean docks in Dublin on Thursday and I hope it gets the welcome it deserves.
