More Things That Are Wrong, just plain wrong

Nah it’s easier to blame the property developers and bankers for everything. It’s all their fault.
.
Regarding the property boom, let’s not talk about the elected government of the people who surrendered Ireland’s monetary policy, the first time buyers grants when the market cooled a little, the various tax payer funded “renewal” schemes throughout the country which left ghost estates…

Ireland’s economic problems stem squarely from the policies of the parties whose economic policies you espouse. Fine Gael and Fianna Fail.

They didn’t come from left-wing economic policy.

It’s so hilarious to see people like yourself falling over themselves with your cherry picking and historical ignorance.

Both Fine Gael and Fianna Fail were beholden to the interests of the banks and property vested interests. Both believed in the cult of deregulation, privatisation and lower taxes on the rich. Fine Gael arguably tried to outdo even Fianna Fail at the 2002 and 2007 general elections in terms of pandering to financial and property vested interests. Both were in full support of joining the Euro.

Own the bust the policies of the parties you supported created.

Put it into your next hilarious Private Eye lite satire piece on here.

i) My satire is hilarious. There’s no point being modest about it.

ii) What makes it even more hilarious is that you hate it.

I thankfully missed the prequel to all this nonsense. What thread should I ensure I avoid so I don’t see how all this started

[Tim_Riggins]

Huh? You haven’t refuted one point, you have merely gone on making stuff up about who I would have supported back then.

Of course the situation was cosy. The banks loved the Government juicing up the property market. The Government loved the property market being juiced up as stamp duty and VAT receipts allowed them to pay for goodies for their clients.

And when those receipts fell through the floor, the deficit exploded. During austerity, the “hard choices” were largely confined to cutting CapEx, as it reduced their client’s exposure.

[Sidney]

You didn’t make one point.

I see you’re agreeing with me now that the cosiness between the Government and the banks was the cause of the crash.

Sorry, maybe you would have supported the PDs. I forgot they existed when I was writing that last post.

So easy to forget and yet so hard to forget in other ways.

Thankfully their memory lives on through Tom Parlon’s leadership of the Construction Industry Federation.

[Tim_Riggins]

Whatever, more incoherent babble. Thread fucked already, and all because you had to bring in some bollix about left wing and right wing with actors. The thread shouldn’t rot anymore. Link elsewhere if you want to actually address things.

[Sidney]

You brought it in.

Post 4063.

[Tim_Riggins]

As you well know, I did not

[Sidney]

As you’ll well know if you flicked back to post #4063, you did.

Times a thousand, jinx, no comebacks.

[Brimmer_Bradley]

Sidney, buddy. Walk away from this one.
You’re nice guy. Same as ever, you’re not beaten. It’s just the wrong thread.

[tazdedub]

Can it not be taken to the politics thread?

[Tim_Riggins]

Yeah I agree.

Can it not be taken to the politics thread?

Can @Rocko not just ban the spamming cunts

My father advised me years ago to never engage in an argument with a gobshite. They’ll inevitably drag you down to their level and beat you with experience…

Just pointing this out for the benefit of all non interested parties.
