Close Anglo Irish Bank

David McWilliams on what must be the greatest financial scandal this country will ever know.

Happy bank holiday Monday.

Asian markets care not for bank holidays, time to buy sacks of rice.

  1. Lenihan claims that letting Anglo sink would be more costly than saving it. Well, if he wouldn’t mind taking out one of his crayons (not the red one, that’d be too worn down by now) and showing us the precise calculations by which he came to this conclusion, I think we’d all be very grateful.

    It took weeks of well documented negotiation for the heads of the main European Union member states to reluctantly decide upon the Greek bailout. You get the feeling that FF decide on our billion-euro handouts between pints in the snug of some bar off Kildare Street. (do you reckon they spit on their hands before closing the deal?)

    Unfortunately politically we Irish are the equivalent of inflatable dolls, mouths permanently open with an expression of shocked surprise, maybe a little squeak of protest every now and then but in the end we just lie there and let ourselves get fucked again and again by the same greasy hypocrites.

    If they push this through then its time to start blowing up mercs.

    Other than that, line up for your slave brand on your forehead.

    If FF are allowed to keep Anglo open as a dumping gound for evidence of corruption in public life then how long do you think it will be before there’s another hadny NAMA or another Anglo which requires large amounts of public money from you without you ever seeing any figures or how the debt arose.

    Sit down for Anglo and you will never stand up again.

    The nation remains in a stupor.
    Folks we haven’t started paying the bill yet and thats why things are so calm.
    Remember we are spending 20 billion more than we are earning. That cannot continue. A lot of shit has been hidden (commercial sensitivity, FOI etc) but that is about to end soon. Expect loads of bad stories about some of the operations in the IFSC pretty soon.

    “Unfortunately politically we Irish are the equivalent of inflatable dolls, mouths permanently open with an expression of shocked surprise, maybe a little squeak of protest every now and then but in the end we just lie there and let ourselves get fucked again and again by the same greasy hypocrites” – Unknowingly, this is what pearse was really saying on the steps of the gpo. Knowing what we Eventually allowed to end up governing us, he was wasting his fucking time. Unless he owned a house in west cork, of course. We need to change the national symbol from a shamrock to a fleshlight

    HM’s description is by far the best and most succinct analysis I’ve seen so far.

    Hey,

    I just put up this petition, this is what it says:

    I would vote for any political party that abandoned Anglo’s Debt.

    The Fianna Fail government took the decision to guarantee Anglo’s Debt without knowing the extent of Anglo’s rogue trading, true size of the debt & total inability to repay it. At the time the total bill was estimated to be €4.25 billion (we are willing to discuss this amount). We’re now facing an estimated €34 billion, 8 times the guarantee promise. The entities that loaned to Anglo were not naive school children. They knowingly lent to Anglo being fully aware of the risk involved with the property bubble in Ireland. We the people did not have a laser or ATM card for Anglo Irish Bank. This was not a people’s bank; this was a cosy cartel for developers. We the people would have never benefited from the Anglo cartel profits, in fact we were negativity affected by these fat cats driving up the price of starter homes, making it near impossible for an average couple to afford a new home.

    Why are we the people paying the debt of tycoons that employ specialist accountants to ensure that they themselves pay only 5% tax?

    I would vote for any political party that told the lenders to Anglo that your investment was based on risk, and with all risk your investment can rise as well as fall.
