Supporters of farmers in Lismore, Co Waterford occupied a London bookshop owned by the Duke of Devonshire today.
The farmers are locked in a standoff with the aristocrat over rent hikes.

Marching with CATU and tenants today against Council rent hikes.
Dublin City Council has already increased rents by an average of €100 per family. Now South Dublin wants to do the same.
We can reverse the increases in DCC and stop them elsewhere by getting organised!
Jfc, the man left the BAFTAs after this. Is there a need to rake him over the coals for something he can't control? Verbal tics are ego-dystonic, it doesn't reflect his actual sentiment. Why not focus on the people who could have preserved the dignity of black actors but didnt?
...they are using this guy's story to slosh a coat of whitewash over ICE for political reasons. God help the next Irish person who finds themselves detained in one of these gulags. They won't get much of a hearing back in Ireland at any rate. Mustn't upset the Yanks...
Not could. Will, on the 6th of April.
Public meetings are taking place to organise against this in the coming weeks, including this Wednesday at 5:30 in ballybough community centre
@bencsmoke I saw an exhibition in Sachsenhausen about the experience of one roma man who was disabled by his treatment in the camp. When the government finally awarded compensation, they deducted any disability allowance he claimed throughout his life, meaning he never got any money
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York moved $57 million in church funds to prevent them being accessed by victims of clerical abuse.
Mr P Tóibín was only delighted to rub shoulders with him yesterday.
By their friends shall ye know them.
@TroopsBane@TullamoreJew_ Saying a menorah is a racial supremacist symbol is both deeply unserious and antisemitic. You posit yourself as a serious left wing thinker but you're thick as mince
One of Trump’s FIRST ACTIONS in office last year was to cripple the Prison Rape Elimination Act. He claimed it was to stick it to trans women. It harms everybody behind bars but particularly women.
Many states have no laws making it illegal for staff to have sex with (rape) inmates
Why is the fossil fuels industry one of the biggest funders of anti-trans groups? DISTRACTION. Fill the news space with culture wars - no room to focus on what THEY are up to.
You'll have noticed that 'mainstream' media don't give the remotest damn about the 80 people killed. If US soldiers, had been killed, we'd know their names, back stories, wives, mothers, fathers and children thanks to tear-drenched interviews. Why don't journalists care? Because Maduro is Saddam, bin Laden, Gaddafi, Assad, Nasrallah, Sinwar, and Venezuelans are Iraqis, Iranians, Libyans, Syrians, Palestinians. It's the same 'Bad Guy', the 'new Hitler' and the same anonymous crowd of brown-skinned people 'we' are heroically killing all the time. It's the same story being replayed over and over again in their minds. They didn't care before, why should they care now?
'State funeral in Venezuela to bury the 80 people murdered by American troops who illegally entered the country, bombed it, and kidnapped the president and his wife. Why haven't the media talked about these victims or their families?'
