Vomiting in your cornflakes with Kevin Myers and Shell

Shrill old fartery from Mr Myers. They're getting desperate!

Shell are obviously in full-on panic mode juding from their favourite spin-meister, Mr Kevin Myers, at the Independent this morning. A little taste of his own medicine here on p.ie:

See his article at the link over there.

The three principal lies of the Corrib gas project:

That it is legal: it's not. It is being put through under a strategy called 'project splitting' which is illegal under EU law.

That it is a financial benefit to the nation and to the area: A few Erris people will have a few transient jobs in return for which their community will be destroyed, polluted and rendered largely uninhabitable and destitute. See Niger Delta for example. No revenues to Irish people from sale of our gas. Taxes offset against subsidies and concessions so nothing for us there either.

That the protectors/protestors in Erris are 'violent' etc: The violence is all from Shell and their private mercenaries IRMS. Everyone knows that despite the futile efforts of RTE and The Independent to say otherwise.
