That would be to suggest that FG Had a different, better Idea than FF but supported FF Cos they knew tat it'ds fail and they would get into government.

That would suggest that FG Had a Plan that differed in some way from what FF did.

the conspiracy might be that, to Convince people that FG were somehow different.

I suggest that you are a conspirator and suggested the suggestion of a conspiracy in order for us to suggest that such a conspiracy would be madness and thus throwing us off the scent...

enter the eejit *ahem*

Chairman of goldman sachs is currently Peter sutherland who was appointed as attorney general by Fine Gael back in 1981 by Garret Fitzgerald, during this government Alan dukes was minister for finance, his successor in that role was another Fine Gael'er by the name of John Bruton who was instrumental in the intergration of Europe & the Drafting of the constitution, up until only 2009 he was ambassador for the EU to the USA.

Now here we have 4 Fine Gael'ers,

1. Peter sutherland - Chairman of goldman sachs one of the biggest bonholders in Anglo.
2. Alan dukes - Chairman of Anglo irish bank
3. John Bruton - Ambassador for the EU to the USA
4. Enda Kenny - Served as TD in governenment with all of the above.

It seems to me that John Bruton would be very closley involved in our recent dealings from across the atlantic given he is the EU ambassador, his predecessor alan dukes calling for more billions to cover the bonds of Anglo & peter sutherland co-ordinating it all from across the water with his old friends by supplying money to the Irish state at a higher interest rate via the IMF to make even more money from the state he once was attorney general for.

Now do you think Enda Kenny would be trustworthy to be over with Barosso alledgedly negotiating on our behalf?

...........but i'm just paranoid!! :rolleyes:

They sent out Valentines Day emails and murdered love. Economic collapse is just a small step after that.

I actually did think that for a few moments the other day. Then I realised the amount of forethought that it would require and I don't think anyone in Fine Gael has the competence.

I could make a pretty good argument that FG are at least partly responsible for the current economy both through their failure to do their duty in opposition (I mean Enda Kenny didn't even land ONE ****ING PUNCH on Bertie-that's almost difficult not to do) and through their shenanigans at local level where they are actually in control of the majority of councils but act in the exact same gombeen style as any Fianna Fáiler.
