Brian Cowen, let’s be honest about this, is a useless, fat fuck who embarrasses the country every time he opens his Guinness soaked mouth.
Today he’s off to give a key-note speech on ‘disarmament and the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons at the Asia Europe Summit’.
Priorities well and truly in order there, Taoiseach.
Yet let’s not forget that Cowen inherited a mongy pup. He is shit at his job, no arguments, there. He makes things worse, appears to have all the leadership skills of the Pied Piper’s retarded brother, Roddy, and his government will go down in history as the worst administration in Irish history, but it’s not all his fault.
As Minister for Finance he enabled the policies of a man who really should bear more of the blame – Bertie Ahern. A man who saw the shit coming from miles off and ran away like a coward. He says nobody could have foreseen the financial crisis – pure and utter bullshit. He saw it. He knew it was going to happen and like the fair weather cunt he is he legged it knowing his old mate Biffo would land right in the shit.
Now Bertie swans around town in his chauffeur driven car, taking him from his expensively renovated office to his lucrative public speaking engagements, and he has ambitions to get back into public life. You know he’s lining a bid for the presidency.
Imagine, President Bertie Ahern. This scutterly little shop-steward of a sly, conniving, cash loving crooked cunt as President. Another salary and pension to add to his collection.
This is a sitting memeber of Dail Eireann, one whose attendance figures are suspect to say the least, a former Taoiseach and he appears in this TV ad for a scummy tabloid newspaper.
He’s being paid, on top of his salary and pensions, to write about sport. He sees his public life as a way to make as much money as possible. That’s what motivates him, that’s why he wants to be President. A nice ceremonial position, some kudos to go along with it, and a big lump of money.
He is a disgrace and it just shows what a poxy little knacker he is when he appears in that TV ad. He hasn’t got the slightest bit of dignity about him and it embarrasses our political system even further that he thinks it’s appropriate in any way.
So while Cowen and this government rightly get the sharp end of the stick for their inepetitude and mismanagement of the country, don’t forget about Bertie.
Don’t fall for his pathetic attempts at cheeky wideboy schtick. He hasn’t got anything approaching the wit or the charm to get away with it. He’s as responsible as any of them for the mess we find ourselves in. And he ran away because he’s a cowardly little fuck.
Remember that.
if only bertie was actually locked in a cupboard. a fitting end to the little cash loving whore of a man..
I thought he ran away because he was caught out being a lying corrupt tax evading won it on the geegees sterling deposits cunt?
Is no one else surprised that his daughter has been spectacularly unsuccessfull in her follow ups to her *best seller*.
Murdoch has no use for this traitorus cunt now, other than to to give two fingers to the irish people by promoting his fucking rag through the bastard.This fucker aherne should be arrested and held in without charge,until such time as we get to the bottom of exactly how much he has robbed.
Cowen to “talk” at an Asia/Europe conference,dont make me laugh, they better have some world class translators on hand,and thats just for the english speaking delegates. Can you imagine at the end of his efforts, “And on that note ladies and gents is anyone else fucking thirsty ,I could murder 12 pints a stout”.
Someone made a great point in the last “black thursday” post about all of us wearing armbands to signify our disgust at all of the thieves in government,Its a great way to spread the news and show each other a sign of solidarity.
What a horrible little cunt. There’s no more to say about him, really, except that the fact that we are funding this little shitebag instead of locking him up and taking all his assets, stripping him of all his pensions and perks, is a disgrace. Cunt.
Hey, Action Man, recognise the ‘John’ character from the ad?
Sod Bertie – nice mot!
it does make sense clowen talking about disarmament and non proliferation. after all, who knows more about destroying an entire country almost singlehanded. i’m just surprised the americans haven’t tried to weaponize him
I heard somewhere Charlie Haughey described him as the cutest (hoor) of them all. Berties not the problem, nor Cowen, nor fianna fail – the endemically corrupt system under which we elect our politicians to govern us is what’s at fault. Bertie’s just good at playing the system. There’s virtually no transparency or accountability at any level of government. The freedom of information act does almost EXACTLY the opposite of what it’s supposed to – a political master stroke, literally. Mary Harneys incompetence and arrogance has ruined thousands of lives, and in all likelihood ended quite a few- a twelve hour wait in an ER is now part of life in Ireland . Fianna fail MUST fall, and fall significantly at the next election, if not before. Dirty fucking scumbags the lot of them.
SG: Sure do, heh!
I have no more words of disgust left for these despicible cunts!
heh, porridge
A better commentary on the reason “we are where we are” than you you read in the papers Twenty. Succinct and to the heart of the matter.
Mind you what about all the complacent fucks that elect hopeless mediocrities like these into public service.
Big gap between ability and ambition and people should be wise to that when voting next time.
Nice one porridge.
Mary O’Rourke is a shrewd operator though, isn’t she?
Cowen and FF both ‘dead man walking’, no sense in “My Little Brian” dirtying his bib when we can get Enda and Eamo to release the budget and take the flak, so eventually, when FG-Labour coalition cannibalises itself, Brian will be Taoiseach.
Seriously, Mario Puzo was an uncreative prick.
Fuck.
Me.
Pink.
I always knew he was a shitehawk of the first water but Jesus – are there no depths to which he won’t sink?
Thank fuck I am 4000 miles away from the little bollocks.
And if yiz vote the poxbottle in as President, expect to feel my wrath. Oh yes.
On the mark there Adam.
A interesting take on “Will anyone think of the children” theme by FF
Mary O’Rourke is a sly little weapon. She acts all silly housewife but isn’t one bit of it, always sent out to calm the old biddies and get them back into the kitchen.
She’s an FF weapon of mass deception.
Jesus fucking Christ. Seriously? Bertie? He’s Ruperts private dancer.
What a total fucking cock.
Isn’t the burden of proof a bit lower for the Criminal Assets Bureau. They should be publicly raping Bertie on the bonnet of his fucking tax-car.
What always impresses me about politicians like Ahern and O’Rourke (and I mean “impresses” in the same sense as I’m impressed by a serial killer’s ability to avoid capture for so long) is their seemingly innate ability to see every piece on the political chessboard and their quickest route to checkmate.
It’s like another level of consciousness to be able to see all those gears moving, who’s a disposable pawn, a usable allie, a disposable allie and so on.
I’d need a set-square, some play-dough, a book on applied physics and about three-years in a room to put together one of the Machiavellian plans that Ahern does automatically.
And for something a bit more constructive…
FF must be looking over the water at England with lusty eyes. Looking at Labour, Brown gone, and a co-alition in power, all they’ve got to do is snipe…
But then, Brian Lenihan must be looking at David Milliband and thinking about his own brother. What if the crown prince doesn’t get the throne. What if that ginger fuck wit (who I personally have seen try to finger his own cousin’s arse at a party, in front of everyone, who isn’t allowed to attend parties if he isn’t accompanied by his young son, to stop his wondering hands) get’s to be the next leader of FF? How marvelous!
The down side would be a decade of FG power, with all the small minded stupidity and conservatism that would bring.
Hear, hear! That mangy little git should be spending the rest of his miserable little life in jail for what he presided over. Country was fine when he left, he insisted – we were all but the gurgle of a draining sink and he damn well knew it.
There’s no way that Conor Lenihan could be Taoiseach. No way. It’d be the most mental thing to ever happen in the history of mental things or happenings. Kim Jong Il would be pissing himself at the mentaller we’d have in charge.
‘who I personally have seen try to finger his own cousin’s arse at a party’
Heh!
I saw him trying to lure 2 Dail secretaries back to his ‘new’ office with the promise of a bottle of champagne. Now I’m wondering what he was going to do with it.
Putrid man altogether.
Conor Lenihan is a complete twonk. He’ll never be Taoisea…. What am I saying. Of course he will.
Isn’t that advertisement ironic? Paul Williams, who writes what the cops tell him to wrirte about “scumbag” criminals, has Bertie Ahern sitting beside him.
‘who I personally have seen try to finger his own cousin’s arse at a party’
‘trying to lure 2 Dail secretaries back to his ‘new’ office with the promise of a bottle of champagne’
these aren’t really reasons to put a guy down. To one degree or another,most men’s raison d’etre is to get their hole, right?
Of course Tomo.
We have no right to expect anything better.
Sorry, I said ‘right’, I meant ‘reason’.
I knew I had a photo somewhere:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/5050273087_24af853e04_b.jpg
He’s the walking, talking definition of “a header”.
The screws are not so much ‘loose’ as ‘rattling around like pennies in a tumble dryer’.
@ Heroic Folly
Did they go to the cunt’s office?
No, poor girl kept having to fend him off. It was quite embarrassing for everyone there.
The scary thing about Letchy Lenny is that he’s known as the brains of the family.
So fuck Bertie.
Now, about a protest. I get the sense that, despite our massive national apathy, that there is still the appetite for a protest there. I only say that because I too am a lazy fuck, but fuck me am I willing to get out there and shout at these useless cunts.
So here’s something to debate: who could lead such a protest? I think that’s the key point we’re missing here. It can’t be any of those stupid lefty cunts, they don’t represent us – in can’t be anyone who would seek to hijack the platform for their own fucking views. It could possibly, maybe, be Eamonn Gilmore, but I understand he was dodgy on Marian Finucane at the week end. Oddly enough, the only person I can think of that could possibly represent the anger of the country is Joe fucking Duffy. He doesn’t stand for anyone, except the pissed off callers who ring his show.
He’ll fucking do, anyway, and I can’t think of anyone else.
So let’s have this fucking protest and keep it real simple: General election. Now.
Heroic Folly, do you want me to post that Lenny photo here so everyone can see it without needing a link? I can Tinyurl it no bodder like.
Joe Duffy won’t do.
MMN, Joe Duffy is part of the system. He’s the official pressure valve to fool the populace into thinking they have a voice.
HM go for it, I haven’t the technical acumen for it.
Thanks
If Ahern gets elected President, any glimmer of hope for the country, any possible international sympathy, any excuse to blame it all on anything or anybody else will all be fucked down a bottomless well. It’ll show that we don’t only not learn from our mistakes, but we wallow in them like pigs in their own shit.
Asking Joe Duffy to lead a protest would be like asking Ryan Tubridy to open a diet clinic. Or asking Mary Harney to be Mister for Health. Or asking Bertie Ahern to write about sport. You can make up your own preposterous suggestions.
Mister? I meant Minister. (I think)
Joe Duffy is a one eyed trouser snake prick, as big a problem as FF. He uses others misery and pain to make money. His whole bloody career is based on a throne of others sorrow. He is a voice, but not one of change, but of slit-eyed sympathy, of cod – condolence.
Reform or be damned! Accountability is the way! Even that dick Billy Bragg knows that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQrguc6q90k
dont underestimate conor lenihan this man is not the fool he makes himself out to be.
You think the bauld Joe will rise up against the system that pays him four hundred grand a year to do five hours work a week?
Whatever. Not Joe Duffy then, my point was he’s not politically aligned, and there would be no personal margin in it for himself. Plus an awful lot of people ring him up to moan, so he is synonymous with moaning. That’s all.
If you want a protest, someone has to call it. That someone needs to be a person that people can get behind without thinking, ‘but I don’t agree with Richard Boyd Barrett or Joe O’Toole about any single other thing.’
If there was a union for people with mortgages, it would be the head of that body. But there aint no fucking union.
So who?? fucking seriously!! WHO?!
Okay here’s an easier way to do it: Who would you be willing to follow in a protest? Who would it piss you off least to see leading a protest?
All you need to do is say a name.
Hilariously, Liveline are talking about the NOTW world right now. Blog ire is being mentioned as well.
Me. I’d follow me. On a white horse, with a red cape. And some sort of crown. And someone carrying a mirror so I can see myself.
Hmmm, some non cunts
Vincent Browne, Gene Kerrigan, David McWilliams, Morgan Kelly, Brian Lucey, Constantin G. Matt Coooper, Eamon Dunphy, Ivan Yates, Fintan O’Toole, Shane Ross, Joe Higgins, George Lee (before politics)
Well done you. You could call yourself ‘Captain Apathy / Apathy Man’. And nobody would ever have to ask, ‘what would apathy-man do?’ would they?
Hmmm, some non cunts
Vincent Browne, Gene Kerrigan, David McWilliams, Morgan Kelly, Brian Lucey, Constantin G. Matt Coooper, Eamon Dunphy, Ivan Yates, Fintan O’Toole, Shane Ross, Joe Higgins, George Lee (before politics)
I agree on David McWilliams, Gener Kerrigan, and Matt Cooper, but they’re all journos, can’t see them doing it. Then again maybe McWilliams would.
So is she his cousin?
Great post. The more said about that lecherous troll and the repugnent goo that comes out his slithery mouth, the better.
Because he can talk to a crowd, he gets a free pass in the media, got a free pass in the past and continues to get a free pass to spread his infection. I bet he wanks off to Kim Jong Il
I am in complete agreement with you but the thing that annoys me is what do we actually do about it? We can write about it and moan about it till the cows come home. I would say the majority of Irish people think exactly like you. I just don’t understand why people like you don’t do anything other that complain about it. I mean have you ever attended a protest? Like for, St Lukes or against the Health care System (In particular the one last year initiated by Suzie Long’s husband) or against spending cuts or outside Our Ladies when they decided to close a Life Saving Surgical Ward? Did you ever participate in a national work stoppage like the one last week on the 29th? I bet you voted No to Lisbon the first time but Yes the second time. Did you ever write to a TD about your disgust at the country, maybe the 900k expenses whilst gorgeous little babies await 9K heart operations? Did you ever even do one of those things?
I’m not trying to pick a fight, I’d say the majority of people are like that. They give out shit but do nothing about it. Imagine for a moment you ran a factory and you decided to give people a pay cut yet increase your own salary at the same time, if all your staff complained, bitched about you behind you back, stopped inviting you for pints down the local BUT carried on dutifully doing their work would you abandon the pay cut?? No you wouldn’t. If we continue to do nothing we deserve what we get. In NI at the beginning of the peace process the loyalist went on an all out strike in protest of amongst other things, the power sharing agreement. Within a week it was having such an effect on the economy the loyalists got their way thus instigating a massive backlash of violence. Did the government care about the bombs or the dead? No. They cared about one thing and one thing only, money. If the Republic followed suit, stood together in unity, I have no doubt three days into an all out work stoppage and the currant government would be gone and a stark warning would await the next.
But that’s not going to happen. Your not going to participate in something like that no more than the majority of the country will.
Until then we should stop complaining and take it.
Some purple headed monster.
There’s a huge problem with trying to organise a protest in Dublin. They all seem to get hijacked by the 32 county sovereignty movement, the Youth Defense, the Socialist Workers Party or some such other rent a crowd that dilute any credibility from the protest istelf. Us “lazy” people of Ireland tend to run a mile when we see the professional protestors kick assemble.
I can’t remember which of the two blonds he was all over that night is his cousin. I think it’s her.
I hear Ahern has secured his spot down at the DDDA site for the 2016 celebrations where he’ll be giving blowjobs to tourists for a fiver.
If you give him an extra euro he’ll fart a few verses of Amhran na Bhfian for you while ‘winning on your horse’.
I went to a protest once, worker’s party job, and even they get hijacked by crazies who want to rewrite history in favour of Stalin, or something.
The point is if the worker’s party calls a protest, big fucking deal, they protest about EVERYTHING and most people don’t identify with them.
That’s why you need someone mainstream, and preferably someone who isn’t politically aligned. So let’s just imagine this: 50 people send an email to McWilliams – info@personallyspeaking.ie (only one I could find) – asking him to front a protest to call for a general election. Then you post back here and say ‘done’. Then we drop a line to all of the news desks in town, and try to get them to contact Personally Speaking to confirm this. Then hopefully, maybe, a journo rings McWilliams and says ‘there’s a buzz on the web’ looking for you to call a protest demanding a general election – would you lead such a protest / care to comment? Then we have McWilliams talking about a protest for a general election, whether he leads it or not.
The media would fucking love this, all that’s needed is some credibility in terms of numbers. I mean if there was a facebook group that said: become a fan of ‘Protest: general election now!’ and there were a couple of thousand people supporting it, the next thing you have is Morning Ireland asking Minister X what he thinks about that.
And then 400,000 people hear it on the radio.
Now: Is anyone up for this?
Nonny, you’re right.
I have attended some protests but they’re ruined by ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not The IRA’ and their crew and I’ve written to my TDs numerous times and they never reply.
All out national strikes is the only way to go. I am employer too and I would encourage my staff to join it. I would close by business down for the duration.
Another interesting idea is a national VAT strike.
MMN, I’ll do it and report back.
HM, if you’re doing it, copy the text of your email into a post so that we can just copy and send.
blueskies – I find it hard to accept dunphy and ivan yates as non cunts..
yates in particular – he had his face in the trough for long enough before he turned gamekeeper. not to mention he makes his (other)living based on other peoples foolishness/addiction/misery..
I know a fella tried to protest for a general election there at the start of the summer. They protested outside the Dáil every Wednesday, they had a facebook page and got a bit of airtime on newstalk etc. Kind of died down after a few weeks.
http://www.facebook.com/generalelection
Ah twenty, don’t be sittin on the fence there. Tell us how ya feel !!!!
Have sent a mail to info@personallyspeaking.ie
“I have attended some protests but they’re ruined by ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not The IRA’”
Ha ha HM that was funny but it is also really true. They can be rather rebel’some all right.
Ideally recognised business people would be the ticket but they have their tongue shoved so far up the government’s hole they wouldn’t dare shit on their own doorstep. And whilst I don’t particularly like Mr McWilliams I do think you need somebody with public prestige and influence, he would possibly fit the bill. I can’t understand why he hasn’t tried to join forces with some of his peers and done it already. If for no other reason other than self-preservation, it would be a fantastic marketing strategy for him. He’d get a least two books out of it (And who knows this time they might even be GOOD books) and who knows how many TV deals.
One thing though, not paying VAT would not really serve a constructive purpose, you would be relying heavily on fellow employers to be honest about it and it would be hard to determine how effective not filing a return is as different business have different VAT compliance deadlines. Also, there would be repercussions for you continuing on your business, it would be very problematic. On a very basic level, the Vat you don’t pay would incur significant interest that kind of stateg6y could prove very costly if you didn’t have massive support. For a small to medium business’s I would unreservedly advise against a VAT strike.
But bring on the work stoppage I’m all for that!
Jesus Christ. I just saw Bertie Ahern in the cupboard. I got the fright of my life. This man will probably end up being the next president. Him or Mary O’Rourke’s preferred canditate, Miriam O’Callaghan. She of the pink babydoll dresses.
I firmly believe you get the government you deserve. The fact that we can’t see through these people is because we are in the dark because of a virtual news blackout by RTE and other media outlets, who are hand in glove with these corrupt cunts.
I’m emigrating.
Yeah you’re probably right. All out strike so.
Mixer / HM – gis the text of your email and I’ll send it on. If there’s a standard text that can just be emailed around and this can be made as easy as possible.
I was a touch melodramatic but seo duit
Would you be able to give up an hour of your time to front a protest from ordinary Irish people?
I know ordinary people such as myself find it very hard to protest without having it hijacked by rent a crowds that dilute any credibility from the protest istelf. It would be a huge boost to have someone such as yourself who people will listen to and not dismiss as an extremist. I hope you would consider this request and should you lend your backing to such a venture you will
most certainly turn commentary into action. I implore you to use your priviliged postion as a respected commentator to affect change to the
political landscape that has my generation looking for the exit doors.
Sound, sending a mail now.
Now the Russians want they’re money back, Gulag, Gulag, Gulag! good enough for you fucking blustering bastards, with your ill timed bragging!

Done and done – is that three of us? Only 47 more to go….
As far as Ahern goes with the News of the World and Murdoch, someone had recently posted the following over at Politics.ie.
Ahern gave a dinner for the News International executives in 2002. Included the editor of the NOTW and other Murdoch execs, for the purpose of getting them to urge readers of the Irish versions of the rags to vote FF. The cost of the dinner was around 2500.
The daughter received her incredible advance for her novel from a publisher also owned by Murdoch.
As ever with Ahern, you just follow the money.

MMN,
My mail sent to DMcW
Dear David McWilliams
As you well know and as you’ve consistently pointed out in your various articles, our government is completely incompetent and favours bailing out bankers over looking after it’s own people.
A leader is needed to inspire us to organise and protest as a collective of individuals, families and friends. We don’t want political parties or trade unions taking over.
Can you help us?
regards
(Holemaster)
HM, did you contact him via his own site?
No through that info address. But I need time to write something properly to him. Might do that tonight.
But I don’t know how interested he’ll be. He’s an economist not a leader of a movement. Well, maybe he is.
Cheers,
Using the mail addresses on your site I’ve emailed every oireachteas member with a stark reminder of why they’re there in the first place. I can’t wait to see if I get a response.

Can you say “not in ireland so don’t give a fuck” jo?
seemingly martinique is a full fledged province of france, so we could all go there as eu citizens. it’s ireland that’s sunk, not martinique. good plan hm

Donno if McWilliams is the right man to lead the Revolution or not? We need Stallone and Statham to lead us into battle. Failing that, Liam Neeson might do the trick!
We need a really pissed off Brendan Gleeson.
Does’nt he nearly always look pissed off? He’s built a career from it.
From the Croydon Advertiser 13 August, 2010:
“It is always very sad when no-body attends a funeral,” said a spokesman for Rowland Brothers, undertakers.
“In this case, the 43 year-old man from Addiscombe who we buried on Monday had changed his name by deed poll to Luke Skywalker.
“The case was passed to us by Croydon Council, and we attempted to contact his family and friends. But he didn’t seem to have any close friends locally, and because the deed poll office are not allowed to give out a person’s former name or personal details, we couldn’t track down his next of kin or relations. We did our best, but the result was a tragically lonely funeral for Luke Skywalker.”

Time for a trout.
Oh no! Patrick Honohon, the head dude at the central bank, another ivory-towered dumpty fool. He’s allowing a 5% bad debt on mortgages at anglo under 5,000,000.00. holy fucking shit. How many mortgages? 100? Probably 1000. I personally know 1 person who owes 10 million plus and you’ve no hope in fucking hell of seeing a dime. And I know of this dude
Brian O’Farrell (N1 Property Developments)
€41 million
AN AUCTIONEER and developer based in north Dublin, Brian O’Farrell is the owner of the Northside shopping centre in Coolock and the founder of the auctioneering firm, O’Farrell Cleere, which is based in Malahide, Co Dublin.
Mr O’Farrell has planned to build a much larger shopping complex on the site of the Northside centre. His company, N1 Property Developments, is looking to demolish the 37-year- old centre in Coolock and build a 800,000sq ft complex in a €1 billion redevelopment.
Last year Mr O’Farrell paid Treasury Holdings, the development company owned by Johnny Ronan and Richard Barrett, and AIB Investment Managers €100 million to resolve a dispute over the ownership of the property.
O’Farrell Cleere is selling the home of former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm on the exclusive Abington estate in Malahide.
That bad debt allowance from honahan of 5% has more bullshit thanBrian Lenihan
Honohan has bought into thr system.
shit.
He’s laughing about “nuance”. Fuck me.
Honohan just said (by lying) that it’s hopeless.
That means there’s hope.
(I still haven’t told you’s part 2 of the “shots fired” in malahide which I got tonight, yes icarus – stout,mmmm)
ah shit. I retract patrick. i didn’t mean that you lied. Just that when you said you trusted the “political elite” that I didn’t believe you. don’t sue; i’m offshore. in austria.
To qualify as Govenor of the Central Bank, do you HAVE to have a speech impediment?
Protests are relatively frequent, as recent there as the march on the Dail on 29th of September. The only reason they’re getting hi-jacked is because of the lack of mainstream public turnout, this obviously gives the 32 counties crowd the possibility to push their own agenda’s.
Leaders of a march or protest aren’t totally necessary per se, we’re not cattle who need a herder are we?!
Numbers is the key, the regular John’s and Mary’s need to turn out to these things in their thousands and then and only then will you see that our voices are heard.
Strike is an excellent also, it would be easy to combine a strike with marches nationwide.
I suppose there’s just so many young people on our island (myself included) who have never had any real reason to get out there and put the scare on these pricks, we’re completely inexperienced when it comes to social unrest.
Others on the continent have always maintained their culture of protest, the Italians even hit the streets en masse when the price of pasta went up at some point a few years back.
We all know what’s wrong with this rotten country and government, we don’t need some figurehead articulating it for us, this blog is just one great example of that.
not inferring of course that B’O'Farrell can’t or won’t settle his debt
but
overall
a 5% bad debt allowance on 5 million dollar loans is fantasy. even the dude who drove his truck into the gates knows it i.e. the new dogs on the street
Spill the beans on that shots fired story Itchy.
I have to formulate in my head HM. it’s bigger than I thought. If I end up dead or in jail get me Tony Hanahoe for the latter and Sinead O’Connor for the former. heh. I remember reading a review of a book which described how more than 10% of the cash in the world is from illegal drugs and weapons trading. I remember the author naming cities with lax finacial regulation which were targeted for the laundering of that cash.
Money-laundering is a simple concept. Hugely complicated. Hugely profitable;20%+. High risk. Shots can be fired.
Worlds apart in malahide.

This, Dispatches, from tonight is a must see demonstrating how Rupert Murdoch and the establishment, the police, the government will ensure that you don’t fuck with them. Plus Max Cliffords solicitor makes me go light-headed and dreamy where everything is fine

I didn’t know you could watch Channel 4 online here. Thought were the same as BBC that way.
I know I leave out entire words sometimes.

Good piece
This one is probably better

“This scutterly little shop-steward of a sly, conniving, cash loving crooked cunt” – Twenty, that’s probably the most apropos description of that moneygrubbing, shortarsed, dissembling, cunt offspring generating, STD of a human this country has ever belched forth, in my opinion.
All I can say now is that, since Dustin the Turkey got a raft of votes back in the day when the elections were on in 1997, why don’t you put yourself forward? Public office awaits you.
What a post, and I love the responses. That email for a national protest should be sent to every morning talk radio host and newroom in the country, whether they be local radio or national Ryan “the plank” Tubridy, Ray D’arcy not to mention all the local radio stations. If they all get the same message it’ll cause some trouble for the current clowns in charge of the circus. Even Ian Dempsey had petition to get that Jowly, ugly guinness soaked Brian Clowen to give a state of the nation speach. Would never happen of course, that fat piece of shit wouldn’t be brave enough. Do people even know that the amount of money to bail out the greedy cocksuckers of Anglo Irish bank is going to cost enough for 44 CHILDRENS HOSPITALS.
It’s enough give everyone on the dole a million euro. Imagine the pubs that Tuesday.
I am not sure if this question has been asked…What, EXACTLY, was bailed out in Anglo? Is there a breakdown of exactly what is being paid for?
actually, gonna stick on the forum, it might get a better answer there.
Great post twenty, cheers.
