Global Economic Downturn... A new gameshow.

Watching that unbearable mongrel Mary Coughlan drip through her speech at the teachers conference clearly shaken by the total silence, was nothing short of hi-fucking-larious. Again good on the teachers.

Speaking of whom it's time to get a few things straight. It is not the teachers fault that your job is unbearably shite,its not the teachers fault that your boss fucking hates you and you get a measley 21 days a year holiday, it's not the teachers fault that you signed that contract that means you can be let go on 14days notice, that you have no pension,that your on a salary that doesnt allow for overtime...These things are YOUR fault, you think the public sector staff are treated better?mmmm how about fucking fighting to have Private standards improved instead of relishing the "arrogant" public service getting cut down to size.Why with us Oirish is it always a fucking sprint to the nadir.

This is a media myth this arrogant public service...the blood and guts of the public service are underpaid and overworked they are a decent bunch.There is an underbelly of filth in the public sector but you cant tar the pencil pushers and garda Keown who just saved a puppy with the same brush. You can tar all bankers and developers with the same brush though because they are all corrupt and they all eat puppies.Thats what I heard.

Now its rare that a grouping of teachers allowed for any kind of creativity but ... Coughlan said AGAIN that Irelands woes are down to the (drumroll) Global Economic Downturn, Irelands woes are down to your scubag puppetmasters robbing the people you mong. So I had a novel idea for a recession busting gameshow, hosted by Eileen Dunne, I call it : Let's hunt and kill anyone who mentions the Global Economic Downturn while handing over the GDP of Fucking Croatia to the roulette playing banks.

Its a simple premise but I think it could replace winning streak.

Good on The TUI

The Mugabe Media Lockdown continues...Its oh so quiet...its almost as if nama and the recapitalisation was perhaps just another little piece of legislation and not the BIGGEST thing to happen in Ireland since it became a free nation. I remember fucking 17pages per day in every paper every goddamned week for 3months when Maddie McCann went missing...What the fuck like?Is this north korea?Can the media really be in their pocket?Can 2+2 really equal 5?

They hope all the anger goes away(which if I know us Gombeens, it will)and they can push on with their policies of enriching their wealthy overlords at the expense of the ordinary decent citizen.So good on the T.U.I today who rejected the policy of continuing rape of our services . Mr McMenamin stated:

"“Why is it that this Government will allow the three or four senior executives of this bank to escape their responsibilities leaving behind their personal debts running to over €100 million to be picked up by the tax payer while the books for schoolchildren are withdrawn and the pay of TUI members is cut to the bone and beyond?”

Indeed... why is that?oh fuck yeah I forgot... the senior executives are the ones pulling the strings that control that street drinker at a court appearance lookalike excuse for a fucking Taoiseach.Cowen and his cabinet will do as its told because the real bosses want their goddamned money back.

Anglo that benefits only the rich got 22Billion this year.
Schools and Universities that benefit every single person in this country, that educate our little children, that employ our neighbours and relatives, that provide essential service to EVERYONE in ALL of Ireland got 8 billion.

Doesn't sound much like a Republic to me.

JIM GLENNON IS A MONG

Reading Jim Glennon's article in the Irish Times I should have been shocked to see an experienced politician admit what the golden boys really think of us gombeens: "Most voters are, somewhat naively, of the view that government policy is developed through a process of careful analysis, comprehensive consultation, and the selection and prioritisation of initiatives based on impact and thorough cost-benefit analysis"

I WASN'T FUCKING SHOCKED THOUGH.

Now Jim Glennon was a half decent rugby player but sold his soul and now can only be described as a dimwit mong and a goddamned company man...for him to say that voters NAIVELY fucking NAIVELY expect policies like Nama and hospital closure to be based on careful anaylsis had the effect of sending me sprinting for the toilet bowl.
Whats next Jim? Patients naively expect doctors to hold medical degrees
I know Jim parents naively expect nursery workers not to be child eating cannibals...Fucking naivety its a killer.

So Jim tell us what its like in reality...

"In reality, most government policy-making is based on an ad-hoc reaction to events/media-pressure, and driven by the responsible Minister’s particular requirement to be seen to announce something which seems at least semi-sensible."

So there you go people, right from thebig horsies mouth...an ex Fianna Failed T.D openly states in the paper of record that MOST... fucking MOST government policy is ad-hoc, made up to save the face of whatever wanking minister is collecting 100k plus. Not to help us the public, not to save the children,the country or the schools NO its just to be SEEN to announce something at least half sensible.
Not FULLY sensible.Just half sensible. The utter contempt.

So there you have it... these poisonous fucks are so confident that us, the gombeen public will not try and take back our country that they can say and do whatever they godamned like.

Are we just gonna lie down and take it? Well are we?

Puppetmaster Anglo Irish Bank

The fallout...well...The Irish excuse of a fallout continues.

So after the biggest social welfare package for fucking millionaires in the history of Europe what state did we wake up to this morning?The same indifferent shite... A few newspaper columns calling it horrific and a few water cooler chats filled with faux outrage. That's it. Nothing else.Zip. Nada.We have to accept we are no longer a Republic now...A banana republic maybe but not a Republic.

The main feature of a banana republic you ask, qualify that you say. OK here you go:"A collusion between the overweening state and certain favored monopolistic concerns, whereby the profits can be privatized and the debts socialized"

Does that sound familiar??? It sickens me that these millionaires who fucking cleaned up in the late nineties...(I remember their overwhelming arrogance when I was a student working in a cafe in Dublin...talk about looking down on you)...don't have to pay...I DON'T CARE if the collective assets of these bankers and developers wouldn't make up a thousandth of the debt. I want to see the sheriff at their door repossessing every last thing down to the last sparkling trinket. That would make me feel better. I want to see them destitute...I want to see them against the god damned wall. You think if you owed even 10k they the sheriff wouldn't be beating down on your door at 6.30A.M?To take away every last fucking thing you own...leaving you just the fridge, your tools and your beds? Iv seen it fucking happen friends.No sheriff for them though, they're diffent from us...the taxpayer picks up the tab for them.

That sickens me...what sickens me more is the gombeen public. Where are our heroes?where are the men like Hobson,the poets like Pearse, the visionaries like Connolly?
We should be agitating for REAL change...revolutionary change.

BUT...

What we'll get is an election(not when we want it, when they're good and ready)...We'll get the preferences and the votes for filling potholes, votes for the that bit of planning permission, votes for the old civil war divides all the same shite. I think its time for honesty. When you argue about who your voting for your really saying: " I think the puppet on the left represents my political stance...or... I think the puppet on the right is the one that will get us out of this mess"...TIME TO WAKE UP.

ITS THE SAME GUY CONTROLLING THE PUPPETS...Do you recognize him?
You should.... you just gave him 40billion quid.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR VOTE WILL CHANGE?

Some woman's yellow hair...

On a day that the cost of those dickwit banks fucked up this country until long after I'm in the grave...this is the only thing that sums up the emotions:

What need you, being come to sense,
But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence
And prayer to shivering prayer, until
You have dried the marrow from the bone?
For men were born to pray and save:
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.

Yet they were of a different kind,
The names that stilled your childish play,
They have gone about the world like wind,
But little time had they to pray
For whom the hangman's rope was spun,
And what, God help us, could they save?
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.

Was it for this the wild geese spread
The grey wing upon every tide;
For this that all that blood was shed,
For this Edward Fitzgerald died,
And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone,
All that delirium of the brave?
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.

Yet could we turn the years again,
And call those exiles as they were
In all their loneliness and pain,
You'd cry, 'Some woman's yellow hair
Has maddened every mother's son':
They weighed so lightly what they gave.
But let them be, they're dead and gone,
They're with O'Leary in the grave.

was it for this??well was it?? if we don't do something now will we be able to live with ourselves?
