The above was written by Michael Taft chief economist with trade union, Unite.

The expression "he would say that wouldn't he," springs to mind.

Since 2008 we have spent €50 billion more than we have taken in, 60% of which went on salaries.

For Mr. Taft's members.
 
Saw today the UK Home Secretary has announced a £4,000 cut in the starting salary of police. No debate, no negotiation, no Croke Park bollox, just a cut in salary down to £19,000.

Starting salaries of both nurses and teachers have been cut here in Ireland recently.
 
Once upon a time we were the envy of every country in the world.....We fought for ,and won our freedom and independance from a country which was able to conquer the rest of the world....yet could never beat their neighbours accross the pond....We were so well respected for the bravery of our hero's gone by.....NOBODY fucked with the Irish one time !!!

It should have been a case of...."We're very sorry Mr.Kenny.....is everyone ok back home ????....Here take a few suitcases of wedge back with ya.....
(afraid of their shit in case we started up again)

The worst thing we ever did was to show that we were in fact,a quiet little flock of fuckin simpletons

Look at us now
A fuckin laughing stock!!
 
Didn't India gain it's independence by not paying salt tax?

It's a powerful thing. Refusing to pay.

Why are the ECB putting the frighteners on the government?

Fear.

Fear that a precedence will be set.

Utter nonsense.

Invaded by groups from Britons, Vikings, Algerian pirates since 842.

A failing state since 1922, mass emigration, corrupt bankers and politicians, Systemic Church child abuse and no banking regulation in the 1990's leading to collapse in 2008.

At least we can all be saved now by Bannerz Brokurz fortunes arriving in our accounts.

Phew.
