    I'm told we (Eire) cannot repudiate OUR debts.
    But those debts were ran up by Anglo Irish Bank and INBS to maximise their (virtual) profits... they were operating for private benefit and not operating for the state... I don't think we (Eire) ever got a dividend.
    Furthermore I didn't vote for Sean Fitzpatrick
    I didn't vote for Fingleton
    I never gave either of them a mandate to borrow in MY name for their gain
    I don't own those debts.
    I never owned those debts.
    Sean Fitzpatrick is in his house at the top of the hill in the Burnaby in Greystones....looking down at everybody...literally and metaphorically.

    Sssshhhhh! Even saying that we can renege on debts that we dont and shouldnt own may cause us to have problems with borrowing!!!

    Whats happening is the economic equivalent of the f***ing Truman Show. We are told what is good for us and if we question it we are warned of the terrible consequences.

    We can, if we choose to, take this matter over.


    We're allowing this to happen.

    We do have a choice.

    Really?

    I seriously thought of skipping work last Friday, buying a bucket load of golf balls and driving them from Stephens Green through the windows of Anglo Irish (who've lost €200k worth of golf balls). I'd be arrested and people would call my anger madness. There will be no 'revolution'

    Why not drop up and stare in the windows, examine the architecture in detail ...
    Don't forget your balaclava though, 'cos it's cold out

    Yes, seriously.

    We're all taking our annoyance out by..........typing in to our keyboards!?
    That's not going to change anything.

    We should be taking our annoyance by demostrating publicly, by verbally telling our local councillors/TD's that what is being done is not acceptable and we need to voice publicly our annoyance.

    It shows how bad and rotton a bank it was when a bank with no branches and no 'ordinary' customers can nearly bring a country down and drag it into the gutter.

    It may have hidden implications for major state decisionmakers but it's of no 'systemic' importance to this economy.

    This ongoing attempt to appease the international markets to defend its reputation will come back to bite the government in the proverbial. You lose credibility when the rationale for your decisionmaking is all about your reputation. You earn a good reputation through good decisionmaking in the public interest. When you start making decisions based on protecting your 'reputation' you are on the slippery slope to losing credibility as you are now serving the interests of others, and even in their eyes you have lost that reputation which you crave.
