    Is any of what he is saying is true?

    The reason for my caution with regards to taking their word as gospel is the use of visceral rhetoric, it is clear that the Keisler guy has a personal bias against Noonan.

    My god that's painfully ill informed

    When he called Limerick "stab city" after about 30 seconds, I turned it off.

    Keiser is a complete spoofer. It's one of the reasons he has been relegated to making doomsday scenario style predictions on Russia Today and Press TV.

    It wasn't Noonan who socialized the debts it was those traitors in Fianna Fail and old Lendahand himself.

    Isn't that the point though. That the banks debts were handed to us to take care of. Or must we not ever mention the giant elephant in the room?

    Keiser is extremely sensationalist and make some crude offensive remarks during that video but he is bloody right in alot of ways.


    I mean think about it its fúcking insane. Here we are as a nation and we are bound to pay the debts of what was essentially a casino that lost 34bn even though the vast majority of ordinary Irish people have had nothing to do with Anglo ever. Come to think of it im not even sure there was a local branch in my area. They never seemed to advertise commercial savings packages (to the best of my knowledge) so it would seem their market was the playboys and cowboys like Quinn, etc who got us in the upmost sh*t and we are standing idly by and signing our future down the swanny while some of these wagons are riding off into the sunset made for life.

    As ordinary people we were a mere fraction of the financial problem that our greedy and absolutely despicable politicians, bankers and property developers have burdened us with.

    We need to toughen and bombard the sh*t out of these clowns until they least fight for a better deal for us.

    If i was to use the film 'Braveheart' as an analogy to Ireland, our politicians are the very same as the noblemen who looked after their own vested interests and their attitude was me, I and myself and f*ck the poor eejits willing to bleed for the country, although in this picture, there is no William Wallace characters who can inspire us to greater heights.

    can anyone give a summary of the video in words for us too lazy to view it?

    Using a Mel Gibson movie as an analogy to try and describe the economic difficulties being experienced by the Irish State isn't a very good one.

    Well you obviously didnt read it or perhaps you didnt see the film. As i stated there is a group of noblemen in it not too unlike our politicians that look after their own vested interests and dont give a **** about the nation. If ever there was a good analogy that is.

    Perhaps you should actually try make a valid counter argument now which will further prove me wrong instead of just ridiculing my comments ?

    I'm actually tempted to report the OP for not doing it in the first place.

    Same here. He lost all credibility as a pundit worth listening to after 5 seconds but that limerick jab (no pun intended) was pathetic.

    RT is an absolute rag of a tv station. It's the equivalent to the Sun newspaper. The only good thing is the hot presenters. Lauren Lyster is an absolute babe for instance!

    I dont think it is, if you watch both sky and rt, you then get an idea of what the truth is because you are getting both sides of a story.

    OP THAT WAS CRAZY!!!...Last Month


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    I gave up a couple of minutes in after they said that some people who work(ed) for Anglo are still getting 150,000 a year salary. :(


    Just didn't sit right. Your man is also a bit of a ginny joe as well.

    I agree. Totally disgraceful and akin to something Eamon Dunphy would come out in one of his rants just as he did at Rod Liddel that time.
