I thought I should draw your attention to a brief gathering to show support for choice, democracy and liberty! If you’re heading into London on Saturday, the good eggs at I Want A Referendum offer you the chance to send a message of support to the voters of Ireland.

Apparently this is now a warm-up to the afternoon’s main event: the first Anglo-Irish Guinness Guzzling competition. In the green corner - Guido Fawkes, in the blue corner- yours truly. Whoever manages to guzzle 4 pints of Guinness quickest will be crowned champion.

Get involved in this titanic struggle by pledging money per pint drunk. All money raised will go to referendum campaigners from the champion’s home country.

You can donate through I Want a Referendum’s paypal link - which will then payout to either Stuart Wheeler’s fighting fund or the Irish no campaign (after the inevitable Guido victory).

See you tomorrow!

Irish referendum - send a message

As Ireland’s voters prepare to go to the polls on 12 June to give their verdict on the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, the Irish government is intensifying its propaganda campaign. In particular Irish politicians are increasingly attempting to bully voters into accepting the Treaty by arguing that it would be a “disaster” if the country voted no and that it would lead to Ireland being pushed “to the outside” of the EU. All the polling evidence suggests that these bullying tactics are the most effective way of them achieving a ‘yes’ vote on 12 June.

In order to show solidarity with voters in Ireland I Want a Referendum will be organising a gathering outside the Irish Embassy on Saturday 31 May. We are just one of the many groups who will be organising an event on this day across Europe under the banner of the European Referendum Campaign.

How you can help

At midday on Saturday 31 May we will be organising a short gathering outside the Irish Embassy in London (17 Grosvenor Place, closet tubes: Hyde Park Corner and Victoria). We will have a number of Irish, British and EU flags to hand out, so there will be no need for anyone to bring their own banners or flags. The aim is to send a message of solidarity to Irish voters, not to demonstrate about the denial of our referendum here in the UK. Free cans of Guinness will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
