ffs- give it a rest- the fuckin hereos of yours in the left still have minimal support in this country- what kind of fuckin idiots are these if they are still in the doldrums in this crisis. the media were to blame, so were the banks, so were the civil servants, so were the developers,so were the accountants- greed swept this country mate & i think i speak for th majority of the board when i say we are sick of you playing the blame game
Its time to put this €16 million leisure craft to proper use…
“Reuters news agency quoted senior EU sources as saying the loans would total 80-90bn euros.”
Lenihan said earlier today they’d be nothing like that.
The papers were suggesting about 5% today
Well your aren’t speaking for me in saying that I am sick of the blame game it has only started in my opinion and I would hope after the blame game is finished the punishment game will begin but please add FF to your long list ( which I will agree with you on)
Whether this is personal issue between yourself and WTB I don’t know and I don’t care but the left are far from in the doldrums in this country

There is no political left in this country worth talking about. There hasn’t been for a long time and whatever one there was has been killed by years of cheap credit. The question is whether one will emerge, or whether the responses to this crisis will be defined by the same people who dominated the agenda for the last decade. People who thought they’d done everything right now find themselves out of a job or unable to pay their mortgage, and these people are looking for answers. What remains to be seen is whether these answers will be supplied by the hard right like Morgan Kelly suggested, or a hereto unknown political force from the left.
Anything happen while I was away? I assume Brian and Brian told the IMF to sling their hook and we’ll continue with our own austerity measures?

I don’t hold that view, Gilmore and rabbit are ex democratic left, we have descended in total negativity and personality contests, if any opposition party had predicted this crisis a few years ago they would have been railroaded out of their own party. What is wrong with Kenny, Noonan, Bruton, Gilmore, Rabbit, Burton who cares what they look like or sound like . Your view and I suspect many people hold it suites FF down to grown.
I know there are plenty of people who through no fault of their own are in bother but their are other people who were greed and spent like there was no tomorrow, well guess what it’s the day after tomorrow and the money has to be paid back.
Personally I’m not convinced by the left or the right but the rainbow government wasn’t bad and JB wasn’t the most charismatic individual but he was a good taoiseach
fucking hell :rolleyes:
Should we create a new thread called “Hearty welcome to our IMF overlords”?
Seems like this thread is out of date…
Bullshit on Bruton. He nearly destroyed the peace process.
+1
a buffoon of the highest order
and Bertie and Cowen have destroyed the country
I’m not basing my view on personality politics, I’m basing it on the alternatives offered by Kenny, Noonan, Bruton, Gilmore, Rabbitte, Bruton et al, which have been largely indistinguishable from the policies of the government. I couldn’t care less what they look or sound like.
apart from SF how are the left doing in the polls?
At least he didnt bankrupt the country.
Feel free to expand on your point
Never said they didn’t but your point was specifically on Bruton.
