The Equality Banner



By Dublin road on an bloody day,
I first heard the news
that by their tongue I would lose my young
& their words would no be true  .
said they we’d fight for equal right
& everyone will be the same
they said that in France & won the chance
but equality never came
Mahatma Ghandi had England down upon her knees
Liberty and equality for his people if you please
Once again they won the day
But  never got to see, the greed that grew from those not true
equality again trampled down
In Americak, the fought that day, yelling equality for all man
But you can see when they were free, equality be damned
They all declared & penned their right, & it’s there for all to see
Look onto our streets, was that fight really for equality
In 1625 Charles believed ,in the divine right of Kings
But Cromwell said he would have his head. 
He’s  just a human like you & me when Oliver won,
Not a crumb was left on the poor man’s  chair.
So that when he died because he lied.
They brought back Charles’s  divine son.
 Equality died, & the crown was  glad that the people were treated unfair
 Once again they would reign, for the rich man & his  share.
Once again they reign & claim, for the rich man & his  share
All the Major  nations of this world, have fought under the Equality banner, to this day none have established a state close to that which is equal , the price all have endured towards this folly is immeasurable in all directions of human conflict.

EVEN TODAY THE DIE HARDS OF IRELAND [ mainly ordinary working class folk] FIGHT FOR UNIFICATION, INTO AN IRELAND THAT DID NOT GIVE, NOR EVER WILL THE EQUALITY THEIR PATRIOTS DIED FOR, THEIR QUARREL SHOULD FIRST BE IN THE SOUTH TO BRING ABOUT THE EQUALITY OF ALL. As The USA HAS MAINLY FINANCED THIS MADNESS, THEY TOO SHOULD LOOK IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD BEFORE ADVISING ANY PART OF THE GLOBE AS  TO WHAT IS EQUALITY, RIGHT & JUST.
Below is the Sinn Féin manifesto for an Ireland & their vision of EQUALITY, It is far from the equality that all yearn for. Even within the ranks of their own party Equality is a distant conception. The class system that all on this planet suffer is not tackled, not by a long standard.
Equality
Sinn Féin advocates the right to social, economic, gender and cultural equality. This encompasses equality for all, irrespective of race, age, marital or family status, sexual orientation, physical or mental capacities, ethnicity, social origin, political or religious affiliations, or membership of the Travelling Community.
Creating the conditions for establishing an equal society means recognising that many diverse groups and sections of Irish society need enhanced protection from the State. We must tackle the trend to blame a person or group for their exclusion from society.
It is the same mentality that leads to the isolation of people who are old or have disabilities. We need to recognise that Ireland and Irish society is the sum of its parts and there is no rationale for excluding any group.
Women are the largest group of those who have been excluded from the benefits of the Celtic Tiger economy. Households headed by lone parents and by older women remain at high risk of poverty and structural inequalities continue to trap many women in low paid, part-time employment. Sinn Féin is committed to Building an Ireland of Equals.
Sinn Féin’s priorities include:
·         support for measures to achieve equality of representation both in political life and in all public appointments;
·         equal pay and the removal of those on the minimum wage from the tax net;
·         affordable and accessible childcare;
·         free healthcare at the point of delivery for all;
·         free breast and cervical screening programmes;
·         affordable quality housing;
·         individual social welfare entitlements for women;
·         restrospective contributory pension credits for homemakers and carers;
·         proper financial support for full-time carers and an end to the means test for the Carers Allowance;
·         a safety and sanctions policy to deal with violence against women;
·         development of localy based serv ices and transport infrastructure to combat isolation;
·         adequate financial support and easy access for women taking up education and training at all levels.
