The document was written in ‘a highly technical language’ was the reason Brian Lenihan, Minister for Finance, gave Six One News last night for not reading why Irish life and Permanent and Anglo Irish Bank sold us for suckers.
This is the same government that told us not to be bothered by the technical language in the Lisbon Treaty, they were on top of it and understanding technical language, after all, was what they were elected to do for us.
This country is haemorrhaging jobs at an alarming rate and the only thing the government has done so far to alleviate the situation was to dream up a half baked scheme to curtail public spending by imposing a pension tax on public sector workers.
The ill-Health Service is a shambles, a shameful operation run by bean counters and penny pinchers under the misguided leadership of a clinically obese, cantankerous slob whose lack of compassion, understanding and overall sense of moral decency has cost good people their lives.
But, by far the worst scourge of late in this Fair Isle of ours is the overwhelming attitude of apathy, evident by a 67% voter turnout in the last general election, shared by, what looks like, the entire population and driven by what I think is Ireland’s historical and insatiable love of the harmless rogue. We saw it with Haughey, Bertie and we’re seeing it now with the current shower of feckless rogues.
But, Wake UP Ireland, these ‘harmless’ rogues are costing people their livelihoods and their lives and what’s more, they know it, they don’t care and they’re laughing at us.
It’s time for them to go.
Holemaster and Maxi are scheming.
Get involved or get bent, it’s your choice, but remember, it’s also your country!

Jack I’m stunned, shocked and appalled at the apathy of the Irish people. My recent visitor returned with something of an epiphany .. realising that everyone there complains but does nothing. The public service levy alone would have our public servants on strike and bringing the country to its knees. Ireland seems to be in a malaise, a dream, aghast and adrift . . .whatever those two are planning it had better be shocking enough to wake up the populace and make the politicians answerable!

Hi Baino. It’s tragic and it makes me so angry. From my experiences, many of the recently
made jobless have resigned themselves to the dole, there’s a general feeling of ‘Ahh well, at least we have jobs’ among the public service workers I know and a growing fear of losing theirs, that they’re not willing to rock an already doomed ship, for everyone else. I’m fit to explode!

So right Jack. The lovable rogue had his day when pulling one over on the ‘Brits’ was considered a worthy achievement. But the beady eyed realised that they could do that to anyone, even their own neighbours. Some patriotism that is.

So its riots on the streets then eh? We have them here a lot and they don’t solve anything. All they do is shoot a 15 year old kid and that puts the shits up the rest of them. No, I think this calls for more subversive tactics, like burning the fucking Government building to the ground. That might tell them that the locals are getting a bit edgy eh?
Bald Devil loves you all.
