END GAME: Fianna Fail

Shea O'Meara

Watching 'Hardtalk' on BBC World News:

Our boy Dick (Roche) is nodding along with Christine Lagarde, (Minister of Economic Affairs, Industry and Employment of France).

In the closing minutes of this interview, Sarah Montague brings up the issue of tax payers, who never made the big money, carrying the burden of the players in the market who seem to remain untouched and how is that justified? Roche responds along the lines of, you hit the markets, they hit back.

Please view yourself, but it reads to me that Roche accepts the people who caused the crisis will waltz away pretty much untouched while the everyday tax payer carries the burden, but sure what can you do?
If this is the bow down, we've no option attitude, no wonder we are where we are.


Anyone read it differently?

I dont even need to see that interview to know thats exactly what Thick Roche would say. He makes my cat vomit. I think these guys are are criminals and should be rounded up and prosecuted. At least have them stripped of there assets, they would have enough to bail out a bank in change.

It has to be end game for Fianna Fail and start game for National Forum.
The government are a disgrace and stil lhave the same attitude as always.
In Lenihan's interview with Miriam last week, he said we all partied. Those on the lower income scale did not party and they are the people most affected by what is going on. How they get away with this arrogance is unreal.

I am excited at the possibility of two new political parties, left and right that are not related to the civil war

The Central Bank said just one bank had made progress in reforming how it rewards its executives.

"Those at the top of the banks who were responsible for reckless decisions are, in many cases, still in place but, more than two years after the banking crisis came to the fore, the Central Bank has now confirmed that pay policies at the banks have not been changed substantially."

We kinda knew this was the case, but now that we own the banks, we need our government to act.

Cowen refused point-blank to intervene, remember ?

One rule for FF and their mates re wages, a different one for the rest of us.

How did this man become Taoiseach?
It boggles the mind, he appears to be politically illiterate at times.

Some banks have toxic debts, we have a toxic government.
