No wonder the English ruled us for almost a thousand years

The country is up the creek financially. The cute media focus our attention on the wages of our elected representatives but nobody is looking at the several billion euro stashed away by the rich in tax havens and the super rich who have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes but what are we beating ourselves over: a few thousand euro going to T.D.s and senior Civil servants. True the T.D.s who don't need it should not get the extra money but shouldn't Sir €£$ and the other barons of wealth not be asked to put their shoulders to the wheel to save Ireland Inc?
God aren't we easily fooled if this was France we'd be burning the rag newspapers owned by such rascals.

Yes, nothing even half as bad as this happened under English rule.

I doubt this thread is going to serve any useful purpose.

Agree there, Ireland ain't the only country with ruling incompetents.

Thread closed, I have no idea what it was supposed to have to do with History. BossArky, feel free to deal with it as you see fit.
