Celebrating the Fourth Reich
The gubmint is having a fine time congratulating itself.
Ireland is to leave the Bailout next month.
Wooopie Dooo!
No doubt all those who have emigrated or lost their jobs and homes will be celebrating too?
Not to mention the families of all the suicides?
A couple of lines in the report caught my eye –
“I have spoken on a number of occasions with Chancellor Merkel. She confirmed that this was a decision for Ireland to make."
The Taoiseach said the Chancellor has asked German development bank, KFW to work with Irish and German authorities to discuss ways to improve Ireland's funding mechanisms.
He said he had taken advice from many colleagues, including the German government, but had never asked for support.
It's funny how all the decisions are coming down from Germany?
And I always thought the Irish gubmint was supposed to represent the Irish people?
Silly me.
99.99% of Irish politicians couldn't make a decision to save their lives.
Who is the 0.01%? I might give him [or her] a vote.
On the other hand – 0.01% of all our politicians would be 0.016% of one candidate and I wouldn't want to vote for the wrong bit?
"I always thought the Irish gubmint was supposed to represent the Irish people?"
I do not believe that statement. Your wisdom is legendary.
Piling sarcasm upon sarcasm? Fair play!
The graves of our 1916 fallen, especially those of Connolly and Larkin are a blur to see these days. The bodies of our visionary and patriotic hero's are spinning in their graves.
Successive Governments have betrayed the people of Ireland, and worse is the betrayal by The Labour Party.
Who can we turn to? There is no one.
Maybe it could be you GD, Heh!
2016 is getting closer…….
"Maybe it could be you GD" No problem. Just give me a while to type up my manifesto.
Kanzler Angela, Ich folge Dir, the Limerickman must haff sed. Und wer wollen Wir Paddyvolk folgen – Merkel or Thatcher? Was ist der differenz between frying pan und Feuer? Dollars, Punt, Sterlink oder Euro – which you wantz? Was the reul (old silver 6d with a greyhound) for real?
Hah! It's a long time since I heard the word reul! There is a word that was doomed to obsolescence. I think I may even have a few of them lurking in dusty corners.
The silver reul sixpenny bit was a handsome coin with the harp on one side and the I think greyhound on the other. The old tri pingin silver coin (thruppence) was also handsome with a coinin or rabbit. Was the old tanner reul allowed to chase the thruppeny coinin without objections from the anti-coursing people? The reul became obsolete. Will something similar happen to the euro and the two cent piece?
