Enda Kenny and the Borrowers

Well, it seems as though we are, after all, to blame.

Enda, in his attempts to chase with the hounds has most definitely savaged the hares he purports to represents. The same stupid hares who put him and his cronies into power.

The only ones who have any right to be angry about what Enda said are those who didn't vote for Fine Gael, Labour, Fine Fáil, Greens or PDs. Thankfully, I can afford to be sanctimonious at this time.

Enda decided to turn on the idiots who voted him in this week. He thought it appropriate to turn on people who thought that his party would make the difference that was needed in Ireland. These people who write letters to papers saying that Irish people have long memories and FF got what they deserved.

These people have also forgotten what FG did when they were in opposition. Anyone recall FG finance ministers castigating the government of the day when they didn't spend enough in their budgets?

Of course you don't. Because you're an idiot.

What is more frightening about this whole sorry saga is the number of media commentators backing up Enda's statement.

The times and that red top masquerading as a quality newspaper, the indo have rolled out their big guns to say he was right.

It is in their interest to do so as they represent the upper class who really drove the country to ruin.

I hope that the Irish people can somehow see this.

I don't hold out much hope,

Drugs In Ireland

Last year represented the greatest amount of drugs seized, in monetary terms, In Ireland.
This was not due to the competence of the Gardaí or the Navy. No, this was due to the incompetence of some drug runners. Yet, we hailed it as a great blow in the war against drugs.

Well done lads. Pat yourselves on the back and take a long gracious bow. Did anyone know that a sniffer dog has found more drugs this year than the rest of the force put together?

What's worrying about all this is the fact that the value of the amount "found" last year in Cork shows how much was getting in past our dozy navy and cops anyway.
The drug dealers must be laughing now.

The government decides to send three navy vessels to police a few protesters in North Mayo. Also send in 200 or so of our finest plods in their boats. 3 out of 8 navy vessels available to this country are in north mayo being used against its' own people instead of doing their job and protecting this country.
Who is gaining from this? Why are the government so desperate to push this through that they use the navy and guards to beat their own people into submission at the behest of an Anglo-Dutch Company?
It's quite obvious someone somewhere got money. Ray Burke, Bertie Ahern, Frank Fahey, etc. But it still fails to answer the questions. Why do the government use the media to slur ordinary decent people in fear of their lives and intimidated and beaten by our police force?

Whatever the reasons, it is shocking to see this happen. Maybe official government papers released in twenty years time will tell us the truth. By then it will be too late for the people of Erris in Mayo, choking to death on poisonous fumes.
But hey, at least the drugs business will still be flourishing, eh?

J'accuse

For some time I have, unlike the mainstream media in Ireland, tried to be objective on the issue of our (their) oil and gas. I have tried to give a balanced view on the beatings conducted by our so called Gardaí of ordinary decent citizens from a rural part of Ireland, where the crime rate was low at best before this project began. I still do not believe that any crime has taken place by protesters since but crimes can be invented - Donegal anyone?



The last straw for me came when the government sanctioned the use of the navy against its' own people. A despicable act in a truly disgusting country. This country is rotten to the core.

It is full of corrupt politicians who idiots continue to vote for. It is full of obnoxious morons whose greatest achievements are getting absolutely plastered on any given night.

Our towns and cities are rotten cesspools of drugs where rich and poor alike are united by common addictions.

Our transport infrastructure and health system are the joke of many a pub in Ireland (those that are still left in business).

But you know what? Irish people deserve everything they get.

They deserve the recession they receive where cutbacks of millions are called for when a trillion euro has been given away. Who shouts to complain? Just a few brave souls with the morals not to accept a few euro to shut them up in one of the most beautiful areas of the world.

To all you morons who have accepted money or jobs from Shell to build a murdering gas refinery - well done, may the money comfort you when your lungs can no longer breathe the air around you. Maybe you can sell your land and get out? But that house you built that should be worth €250000 can not be given away when that is built. Where do you go then in a time of recession? The bank for another mortgage with no collateral? Do the math.



I'd also like to give a big hello to the Greens in government, Gormless and Ryan. What a legacy to have left when you don't get voted in again - failed attempts to introduce new toilet and lightbulb initiatives.



Ireland, you make me sick.

No longer can I stand and support our soccer team or shout for our olympians. The Ireland I once was so proud of is long dead.



It's not just romantic Ireland that is dead and gone - The decent people on the island of a thousand welcomes has been replaced by ignorant morons who slap change down on shop counters and grunt at you when you try to get past someone in a crowded pub.



Ireland, I am an Irishman by virtue of my passport only because the Irishness I believed in is gone and gone forever.



Slán go Fóill

Why get rid of an innocent man?

Today, Bertie Ahern announced his retirement as Taoiseach and leader of the Fianna Fáil party.
This was done despite my post a few days ago, which showed various reasons why Bertie is the greatest leader this country, if not the world, has ever had.
Bertie appeared in front of TV cameras with his usual teary-eyed demeanour for when he has to prey on the emotions of idiots.
He threw in the obligatory 'voice breaking I'm on the verge of crying' bit as well for good measure.
He patted himself on the back for all his great achievements in Ireland since he was born.
All in all, he made the whole world sit up and listen to his moronic protestations of his innocence of any crime.
Let's be clear here. Bertie is a CRIMINAL.
He did not resign because he was thinking about it for a while but rather because he his position was untenable.
Bertie Ahern must go back to the tribunal in May and then we will see the greatest bombshell the tribunal uncovers thus far.
Bertie has left now because he was pushed by senior figures in the party who know that if he was still Taoiseach at this time, he would collapse the government causing another general election to be necessary.
Bertie may yet spend time in prison for what he has done. £350,000 is the tip of the iceberg as far as payments are concerned, believe me.
Bertie will be dragged through the gutter before this is done and Fianna Fáil didn't want to go along for the ride with him.
It was the senior figures in the party who also told Gormless and Harney to come out against the Taoiseach, further forcing his hand.
Believe me, this will all become clearer in the coming months.
Stay with me on this one.
Don't cry for your Taoiseach's demise because you'll feel like a fool when you find out what he has done.
