IMF and Co; **** right off!

RandolphEsq

I have had absolutely zero contribution to the financial crisis. The exact cause was trigger happy bankers and their lack of analysing security for the loans they gave. The IMF are now intervening in Irish political negotiations and making demands in return for a loan facility.

As far as I'm concerned the IMF can **** right off! They propose for the gov. to draft a budget of cuts, with no ways to make money. For the next 88 years we will be paying off this bailout for no specific reason other than we accepted it now. It is in their interest for us to accept it so we shall at least force them to offer concessions.

Even if they don't, we are fcuked. And why should we be? Fcuk the international banks! They fcuked up and have lobbied to make the taxpayers in each country pay for their mistakes. Fcuk that! Rise up!

Well I'm on board!

Right. Lets hear your detailed, alternative plan...

I like it!

Seriously, and I'm no economist, it's time for an orderly wind up. From the figures I have heard we can't afford it.

A default would be a disaster, but I would rather spend my days in economic exile rather than this nation being held in servitude to the IMF and EU for God knows how long.

The only reason this is not happening is because our 'leader' will have to have power pulled from his cold dead hands before he does anything in the 'national interest', whatever that happens to be.

For all the Eurozone! So, as non-contributers to the collapse in Irish economy we can join forces with the other non-contributers in Europe, guilt-free. International bankers want to delegate the repayment of loans to the average EU taxpayer, convienant that the Irish taxpayer is offering himself to pay it all back. Fcuk the IMF! It is a massive lobby group for international bankers whose reps. caused the global financial crash. There is absolutely no reason why the Irish taxpayer should have to foot any bill for any fcuk up on the part of the banks. We just need to unite and revolt and say 'no!', **** off! It id in the interest of the IMF that we approve terms for a bailout, so why nit make them our terms? Worst that can happen is we resort to £Sterling. Defaulting on a governmental level is ludicrous and lol-worthy so fcuk it! Do not accept any cuts at any level people of Ireland!

A disaster for our own psyche. Irish people have managed to form a small state, detaching itself from the British empire, and ran it without assistance. A few cowboys are voted in and the place is in ruins in ten years. I actually heard a friend of mine saying that Irish people are not capable of running the economy or their national affairs. That is the disaster. Burn the bondholders, I couldn't care less about them.
