    Now McWilliam's mightn't agree with all of SF's policy's, but he does agree with them on bailing out the wreckless bondholders. " ..which is that if we reward failure, i.e the people who lent to Sean Fitzpatrick then we don’t have a functioning system. What we have is an insider system that protects people who don’t know what they’re doing. That’s what Pearse Doherty is saying. "

    Typically on the debate on the Politics Show on Sunday night, how FF and FG ( ofcourse) want to save the bondholders - but of course the 'Labour' Party also supported the FF/FG line and joined in the chorus of shouting down Doherty :rolleyes:

    Food for thought folks......

    judgeing by the response people are doing a lot of thinking or are just not interested in hearing something that they do not want to hear.

    No sound where I am, but I wonder in what context were the sound bites taken?

    The line the video has on the heading and the thread title are slightly misleading. Darcy read a comment from someone complaining that the people on a show turned on Doherty for saying let the bondholders suffer the loss, McWilliams then said ''I watched him on the program last night and over the past 4/5 weeks, what he's saying makes absolute sense, if we reward failure, ie the people who lent to sean fitzpatrick...then we don't have a functioning system. What we have is an insider system that protects people who don’t know what they’re doing. That’s what Pearse Doherty is saying.''

    So he's really just saying Doherty is right on this one issue, rather than everything Pearse Doherty says about the economic situation is right.
