Would be interested to know what people make of LookLeft and whether it is available in their area.

[Binn Beal]

It's not available in my locality but I would give it a look, if it was.

Perhaps if some effort was put into a good non-left-sectarian magazine, it would provide a platform for various left/progressive people and a counter-balance to the overwhelming control of news media by the klassen-fiend.

It would be a more worthwhile than the mountains of rhetoric put out by those trying to put a ULA humpty-dumpty shell together.

I fear it won't ever happen as no organisation appears willing to surrender its total control of its own news-sheets.

“There is of course freedom of the press in Ireland, if you own a press.” – Tomás Mac Giolla, 1988.

I can't get it. I would be prepared to pay for an online edition, if it was a reaonable amount (less than hard copy).

I agree with Binn Beal. The more cross-party discussion and debate the better.

[Dr. FIVE]

Available all over Galway. Always worth the price as an effort is clearly being made.

thanks

Can you tell us more about the magazine? Its history etc.

Looks very interesting, although I've had more than my fill of Ms Lord's incoherent rants about abortion so I'll probably skip that piece.

It is Workers Party backed as far as I know.

No relation, I swear.

But is she not one of yours?

Yep, published by the Worker's Party.

Out in the back of beyond so don't see it in the newsies. Sounds like a interesting mag though. Might be an idea to go web subscription.

[Kev Bar]

There was some confusion recently with someone mistaking me for Kevin Brannigan or vice versa. Similarly some Engllsh anarchist befriended me on FB following a 'meeting' at a book fair. A third person contacted me online seeking work on the mag.
Clarified.
But then started to look out for the mag and spotted it in Easons.
Only skim read one edition.
But looked interesting.

How often does it come out?

No relation, I swear.

She is... what of it?

[Sam Lord]

She is... what of it?

Nothing. Excuse me.
