Change that looks familiar

We voted for change? We've been here before. I remember the eighties, with the extreme conservatism, tax on shoes, and Fine Gael/Labour coalitions. Michael Healy Rae, Michael 'Your My Number One' Lowry, and Gerry Adams, who's never been a member of the IFA. If Labour goes in with Fine Gael, there will be no left-right new…

Michael Healy Rae, Michael 'Your My Number One' Lowry, and Gerry Adams, who's never been a member of the IFA.

If Labour goes in with Fine Gael, there will be no left-right new dawn. The Common Man will hate them both so much, they'll vote for the dodgy patriots in, well, 2016.

How do we pay for the big banking hole, except by gutting the economy for Europe: selling off assets, cutting and snipping, and raising taxes, including corporation tax? Once a generation, we get to the state we're in. The thirties, fifties, seventies/eighties, we used our economic illiteracy to screw ourselves. We used to have the British to do that, how did we do that to ourselves, again and again and again?

How does it feel, having just voted for the most unpopular government of the decade? We still have to dump the banking debt on the ECB. If they want to take over the country, they can have the ghost estates.

This is a rant, but I can't change the tone.
