âYes, Manchester! Iâm going to start by saying Iâve got to thank my brother, Bonehead and Guigsy, Tony McCarroll, Alan White, Gem and Andy. They brought those songs to life. Without them, Iâd just be a singer-songwriter.
And no one gives a sh*t about singer-songwriters.
"But more importantly, Iâd like to thank YOU, the people whoâve kept those songs alive for the last 35 years. Youâve given us the most extraordinary life and thank you very much for that.
"Have a great night. Up the fucking blues!â
Seems about right
Attended that yesterday
One hill sheep farmer attended- spoke well,
Not a whole lot of locals turned out unfortunately,
Felt for the one guy he should have been better supported,
Not one local politician turned up ,
But republicans from S Tipp and Cork city and Waterford did,
Irrespective of what ones loyalty is or where they lie ,
When an absentee landlord like Devonshire and his agents can raise rents over 700 percent itâs surely time for ppl to make a stand?

Guess theyâll just have to roll with it
What are the figures in this case (notwithstanding the thread choice 
)
Is it a case that he had previously been charging absolutely fuck all?
Pretty much from what Iâve read. Theyâve gone from charging fuck all to a good whack, but in the meantime theyâve withheld clearance certs that prevent farmers from drawing down grants in the middle of any ânegotiationâ
Is it a fair rent on market prices?
Well you have to bear in mind that the owl 
cunt (Peregrine Cavendish) robbed the land from the locals in the first instance.
Well his ancestors did. And that heâs as rich as Croesus

Iâm just interested in the 700% rent raise really,
Wondering how that could be and the only thing I came up with was that it was being rented for fuck all on an ancient deal that hadnât been revisedđ¤ˇââď¸
Cork fella trying to make excuses for the aristocracy.
Quelle surprise

All equally as bad,
DeValera was weak as when the free state was founded there wasnât anything in the coffers ,
So like Devonshire and that bollox at Blarney castle and others all over Ireland 
He let them say and continue in exchange for money,
Some may say teas Hobsons choice at the time ,
But lots if tenant farmers still being burned by absent landlords and their Irish gombeen agents.
Could they just not pay and say that the land was taken illegaly from day 1.
Some might say that.

Just for clarity - I wasnât waiting for an Oasis reunion.
Think the locals support the landowner
