Must be the same guy that tried to bomb the gatso van a few weeks ago, I think its time he changed tactics and got himself a jcb...

I'm thinking that Biggins would have done a proper job and called on Battlestar Galactica, instead of wasting time and money on such a feeble attempt with a bit of petrol.

anniehoo

Biggins was with me last night *cough

I assume this is why there were 4 fire engines on Lr. Mount Street, at the dept of Finance building beside where the Irish Dairy Council place is. at about 11.15 last night.. I didn't see any smoke or whatnot however.

I don't know what RTE are on about, as I'm quite certain I was not under the influence when I saw 4 large fire trucks parked where Grattan court is.

Staff put it out before the brigade even arrived.

Durrrrtyyyyyy.

I reckon it was The_Citizen. Hasn't been able to vent his anger on boards for a while, so lost the plot.

It was Arthur Brown.

He has his crazy ideas in that crazy world of his

Well if you're gonna do this class of thing, now's the time. Won't be many people able to afford the petrol after the next budget.

I for one am delighted that some nutjob is as mad as hell and not prepared to take it anymore. If more people firebombed govt buildings the politico's might sit up and take notice

I reckon it is part of a cunning plan by Mary Coughlan to deflect attention away from the Roddy Molloy incident.

She'd need to invade Iran to deflect attention from that lout

I absolutely understand the anger and frustration that would drive somebody to do something like this.

However, is Brian Lenihan really worth getting a criminal record for.

To paraphrase the old saying dont get mad get even.

That's cause you're a noob.

Pity they didn't use more petrol...

If the Garda outside called the Fire Bridgade, then why didn't he arrest/see/chase the person responsible? Not allowed leave his post (even though they were firebombing the building he's got to protect)?

That was just a street party, someone put "don't stop believing" by journey on a ghetto blaster which caused spontaneous dancing in the street. Some fool called the emergency services which just joined in when they arrived on the street. It was a mess, 6 people where hospitalised. Journey should be banned in public spaces.

Fratton Fred

its a smoke screen.;)

there is so much incriminating evidence in the DoF the shredders can't cope so they decided to torch it all.

You're right, we need incendiary devices or better at this stage.

Basically, biggins worked for the government (not a politician) and resigned as he is outraged by what the government is doing. He now has plans to run as an independent candidate in the next election. Do a search, there was a big thread about it a few weeks ago.

I am telling you this because I was once a noob and also found it annoying not knowing the backgrounds.

When I heard this on the radio this morning that was my initial thought.

I need to get off boards a bit more.

Has anybody seen my woolly hat? I seem to have lost it.



Seriously though when im suggesting protest in the Politics forum: ^ Thats not what im referring to. Settle down lads.

This is what happens when the ordianary man/woman is driven to despair by this goverment, no doubt the man/woman has been made unemployed and has been driven to his withs ends by this shamfull and shameful goverment, scumbags:mad:

Gotta love the adverts that come with this thread,

"Any way you want it" from 0:30 onwards.
The impromptu party scene from the Simpsons Burns Baby Burns isn't on youtube.

Or did a Journey street party actually happen in Dublin?

Poccington

Oh yeah, this is just awesome.

Petrol bombs will really help solve everything.

Spore

Are we sure it didn't just self combust, what with all that highly concentrated inflammable hypocrisy?

Riddle101

Can't say i'm surprised. It's only a matter of time before riots break out. I just hope the gardai will be alert this Friday, because I have a feeling all hell will break loose.

"A garda on duty outside called the Fire Brigade just before 11pm and five units attended the scene.

However, security staff had already put out the small fire."

Calling out 5 fire units to a "small fire" that was already put out by a couple of security guards.

Seems ironic...
