    It was shocking, i hate F.F no doubt but R.T.E are meant to be impartial and this was a blatant attack.

    No, RTE have finally decided the writing is on the wall.

    Without PravdaRTE on their side, we'll see how long FF last.

    The internet is a powerful medium, but despite what some folk think, the mainstream still holds sway. There was a time when RTE wouldn't have put Cowen on the air, and he still half cut because the combover brigade kept him up the night before.

    PK is emotionally dysfunctional, and living in a bubble, with all his recent ranting about his wages, but he was always impartial on the air, and deserves credit for that.

    tl;dr, bye bye Biffo.

    Well Lads McWilliams is right.

    The army are all getting riot training and 4 x NL Reg Riot trucks came off the boat in Rosslare with garda escort and drove towards Dublin.

    Thats the 2 we own and 4 on lend from the Netherlands.

    Did that woman in the audience accuse Cowan of drinking all the money away? I have to give it to him 35 billion euro bar tab I am impressed!

    Can't see any slander- its all true.

    Those people were only saying what the rest of country is thinking. Conor lenihen actually looked like he was listening though, and certainly if anyone needs a job don't go to premiere cause they can't seem to find anyones cv.

    It's about time that we upped the anti. In any other country there would be uproar if the government tried to waste away the peoples money like that, but our welfare system for now is too cushy for for people not to be desperate. I reckon instead of spending 25billion on Anglo we hire Tony Buckingham for 1 billion:D- at least he delivers....

    Wasn't it against the anti-blasphemy act or something lol, bring it oooonnnnn

    David McWilliams was spot on I thought as was the Blaney chap in the audience, he made some excellent points.

    Lenihan came across as an oxygen starved buffoon on mountain top, no surprise there, same ould shite from Varadker, no surprise there either, he's full of the same s**t and he hasn't even gotten into power yet, Jesus help us all:(.

    He deserved every bit of it but he was right on his last point. The only way our economy will improve is if we invest in the knowledge economy and attract investment by major companies in addition to developing our own multinationals. Relying on small business too much isnt goin to so **** all for us.

    Lenihan was lost and completely avoided Williams question to name one country that has pulled it self out of a similar situation that were adopting the same actions as Cowen, FF and co.
    Lenihan just would not answer or was able to state one country - so he deflected away and tried to avoid the question.
    He made himself look like a further muppet!

    I think it might have something to do with a coup in Greece shortly. And if this happens in Greece, Ireland could follow down the same road. I think:confused::eek:

    If they have lost RTE (perhaps their last bastion of major media support) - they really are done for.
    Praise be!

    He's a waffler, a phrase his former leader once used, but then so was Bertie himself. I find it difficult, at the moment to think of anyone in Government or the opposition who isn't a waffler. Don't any of them get it yet, we're not bloody imbeciles we are sick to *****n death of this spoofy vague s*** they all trot out nonstop. Problem is I think FG are a total dogsb******s as well.

    All that prevented me from puking into my tea was the lack of Dick Roche on the panel.

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Don't think you have to be a master tactician to see their preparing for something.

    I'm not an anarchist or a hippy. I'm a working man, and have been working everyday since I finished the leaving cert.

    Never missed a weeks PAYE PRSI contribution.

    They want to tell me that I have to work 17 hours a week to get my entitled 196 euro, that I have paid my dues for at least 3 fold. How far can you push a man?

    That skit was tame compared to what they used to put on Bull Island

    Nothing RTÉ haven't done before, and all political parties were laughed at on that show
