    The EU / IMF bailout package for Ireland has a punative intrest rate, designed to make Ireland return to the bond markets at the earliest opportunity. Not before the rich European states have fleeced us in times of trouble, even if we did make such trouble for ourselves.

    You know who your freinds are in times of trouble, and they dont seek to make a profit from your problems. We see clearly that the EU and IMF are not friends of Ireland, and I hope we will learn from this.

    ====================================
    A Friend in Need
    Can Be Screwed Indeed
    ====================================

    A friend in need can be screwed indeed
    From them you can a fortune make
    Tell them how their trouble is all their own fault
    And advantage of their problems take.

    They look on us as the gypsy European state
    We sit on the side of the table and for aid beg
    When all we do is ask for help like with any friend
    But they want to knock us down a peg.

    And like a greedy moneylender at Christmas
    Point out only they will lend to us
    So put up, pay up, and shut up
    And about the interest don't make a fuss.

    We are at the shotgun point of capitalism
    The IMF / EU: they are but a false friend
    True ones don't take advantage of the weak
    Even if its your fault, they to help a hand extend.

    And seek not to make from you a profit
    Only ask back what they to you did give
    When your down, like Ireland now, you see who true friends are
    We as a nation will not forget this as long as we live....
