Yeah, that'll help... /s
Yeah, with cuts in minimum wage and employee benefit provisions, I’m sure Irish laborers will be eager to effect change from the current. Nigel Farage now has even more ammunition against the EU.
Yes, I am aware of that, but I didn’t say “demonstrate”, I said “riot”. Dangerous times, indeed.
Of course any liberal "demonstration" is only a couple of community organizers away from a full blown riot.
For those of us who are caught up in our own critical projects back here in the states, can someone describe who responsible human beings are supposed to root for here?
Is it a case of the Irish Populace, voting for spendthrift politicians, needing to be forced to cut back expenses? In this scenario, “defaulting” on their debt is a moral wrong. Nobody would trust loaning the Irish money for multiple generations.
Or is it that those calling for cut backs are also manipulating the whole currency system? Or are using it as an opportunity to force global socialism down the Irish throat? In this scenario, defaulting is a moral good.
Or is it a mix of the two?
Thanks.
Back to the ‘poor Irish’ again. Perhaps this immigration would be welcome.
She said, “I’m confident that if we turn our heads and don’t look, it won’t happen.”
I said, “That’s true, Ma’am.”
Tyranny marches on.
Plan to reduce debt incurred in bailing out private sector banks... Good thing Ireland doesn't have a Bastille!
The New World Order is moving along quite nicely now...
Goodbye Irish Sovereignty: EU Commissioner Olli Rehn Issues His First Directive As Overlord Of The Emerald Isle
Now that Ireland is a vassal state of the EU, and its democracy as its citizens know it, is finished, it was only a matter of time before the EU’s Economic Affairs counsel started telling Ireland what and how to conduct its affairs. Sure enough, it took all of 24 hours between the “bailout” and the first order. RTE reports that Olli Rehn “says it would not be advisable for any new government to try to renegotiate key aspects of the IMF/EU deal.” In other words, the EU is promptly realizing that the new Irish government is likely to reneg in part or all of the just struck deal and is therefore interjecting itself in the process. “In an interview with RTÉ News, Commissioner Rehn said it did not want to involve himself in democratic politics in Ireland, but he said: ‘They are key parts of the programme so I would not advise re-opening these’.” In other words, despite hating to do so, Rehn is now supreme dictator of Ireland, and the nation must do his every bidding if it wishes to not receive the Mutual Assured Destruction treatment and not get any banker Holiday greetings cards this year.
More from RTE:
He said he ‘fully understood’ the frustration and anger of the Irish people about the banking sector, which he said had made big mistakes in the past. ‘However we have to move on and the essential thing is to complete the repair, implying both the restructuring and downsizing of the banking system,’ he said.
Of course, only those moving on are the bankers who get no impairments whatsoever, while Irish taxpayers, now in perpetual servitude to the plutocrats, are forced to pray that potato famines do not make a sudden reappearance.
