A long way to go to a serious scene here.
Recently contacted by an English chap in Dublin who
seems keen to meet me. Getting the few people around
the country to go meet each other and do meaningful
activism without me there to hold their hand is a
challenge.
Plus the emails from the journalists. Not a whole lot
of point of me sticking myself in the papers much
until I have serious money behind me and no sign of
that yet as 99% of contacts, it seems like, turn out to
be freaks, imbeciles, people looking for an identity
on the cheap, posers who could just as easily pose
with reds etc.
How many pigs were involved is unclear. The lack of a
proper military in Ireland means the youth isn't
physically or mentally tough. Boozing in the woods
isn't activism. I suppose by leaning on these guys
the system risks actually maybe turning one or two of
them into men.

Court hears of a neo Nazi camp in Dublin Mountains
By Cathal McMahon
PARAMILITARY: Guardai raided an area in a secluded
Co Wicklow forest after complaints from the public.
There they found military fatigues, white supremacist
flags, neo Nazi music and Adolf Hitler quotations. Two
Irishmen have been convicted.
A GROUP of neo-Nazis were caught congregating around a
cross draped in Nazi paraphernalia at a secluded forest in
Wicklow, a district court has heard.
Two men were fined €600 and sentenced to two months in
prison for the distribution of material which is threatening
and abusive, including military fatigues, flags and CDs from
white supremacy band Screwdriver Wicklow District Court heard
that Garda Donal O'Sullivan called to the woods on the night
in question after receiving a phone call from a member of
the public.
OFFENSIVE
One kilometre into the woods he Found the group congregating
Beside a large white cross-like Wooden structure with three
Flags draped on it.
They included a white Celtic Cross on a black background,
three black sevens on a white circle with a red background
and an Irish flag with a black Celtic cross and a wolf in the left
hand side corner.
Garda O'Sullivan told the court that he believed that the
flags were "racist in nature, highly offensive and threatening
to people"
Another flag lay on the ground alongside the group
bearing a Viking symbol and the symbol of Thor.
Some of these flags are aligned to various neo-Nazi
groups from nations like South Africa while another was
associated with the British far-right group Combat 18.
One admitted the flags were his in a statement he then
refused to sign.
"I collect military and political flags. One is an anti-
Communist flag."
The group were mostly donned in military style clothing,
including combats and army boots while all sported
"tight, short haircuts", A CD-player with 19 CDs beside it
was found by gardai.
Some of these CDs were identified as being from bands like
Screwdriver - a known white supremacy group with CD inlay
cards quoting Adolf Hitler and bearing the Nazi symbols.
Another one also wore a white supremacy scarf.
When the Garda first arrived at the scene he discovered two
cars parked by the entrance to the woods.
Kavanagh owned one of the vehicles and Garda O'Sullivan
said that he appeared "very nervous".
When first asked why he was there he responded that he was
relieving himself.
There was a no-entry sign by the entrance with a black skull
and the words "Trespassers will be shot" on it.
One later claimed that this was a joke.
The three other men present at the scene were all Eastern
European with addresses in Tallaght.
Charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and
abusive behaviour and the distribution of threatening and
abusive material against all three men were dismissed.
