Illegal money lenders

WilyCoyote

I though Sinn Fein could have sorted this evil out by now. What are they doing? They know the moneylenders. Are they demanding backhanders to keep these ponces in business among the most deprived? If not, they should stop the rackets, release a statement of intent and educate the victims.

why would you have expected Sinn Fein to be able to do anything about it?

400% per quarter isn't too bad, it's no Wonga @5853% :pac:

OP, your naivety regarding Sinn Féin is adorable.

Sure what use is illegal money anyway?

"The goldsmiths also discovered that their control of this fraudulent money supply gave them control over the economy and the assets of the people. They exacted their control by rowing the economy between easy money and tight money.

The way they did this was to make money easy to borrow and therefore increase the amount of money in circulation, then suddenly tighten the money supply, taking it out of circulation by making loans more difficult to get or stopping offering them altogether.

Why did they do this? Simple, because the result would be a certain percentage of the people being unable to repay their previous loans, and not having the facility to take out new ones, so they would go bankrupt and be forced to sell their assets to the goldsmiths for literally pennies on the dollar.

This is exactly what happens in the world economy of today, but is referred to with words like, "the business cycle," "boom and bust," "recession," and "depression," in order to confuse the population of the money changers scam."


That's the situation from a long, long time ago. Still holds true today, so basically, the illegal lads are just like the legal lads, just not as good at it, not as powerful and not cheered on by the government.

Is it really a problem? If you are able to get a loan you should be able to tell the interest is high.

Never mind the illegal ones, the legal ones are extortionate. I heard a relative say "its only 15 a week" but was shocked when the 200 euro phone actually cost 400. "but i only borrowed 200" was the reply. Priceless

Illegal activities should be dealt with by the Guards or other relevant state authorities.

Not by some quasi-vigilante bunch of scumbags.

SF more into illegal moneyborrowing. Not sure they plan to repay the millions they robbed, sorry I mean borrowed though.

I would advise anyone thats in a desperate situation NOT to take out a loan with an illegal money lender.

There are other ways of getting credit such as credit unions.

Im especially happy that Payday Loan Companies cant operate in this country due to the interest rates. The likes of Wonga are making millions out of low earning borrowers and if your late with the repayments your hammered with interest.

And that's why the crime figures are plummeting?

Driving fines and driving in the bus lanes seems to be their forte.

Over the past few years I think (per capita) you'll get more gardai before the courts than elected SF politicians.

And any football team associated with these pariahs should be treated with caution. Shame on the FA.

a link to a tabloid? no point in even debating this when the article at hand is a pile of SIHTE

The Diabolical Monocle

Could this be a politically motivated poo slinging thread ??

Is someone using multiple accounts to answer themselves in a bid to say boooo sinn fein ??

Could this be seen as a form of manipulation ??

In a similar manner to some kind of deviant sexual hypnosis ??


Find out next week on after hours.

I'm not worried about the average SF politician. Beyond their populist posturing, they're mostly harmless. Those who did have hobbies of concern seem to have given them up. It's their active, armed wing that causes problems.

WilyCoyote

The Armed Wing of Sinn Fein? Hmmmm. Are you a FG, FF or Labout politician? If so, declare your interest.

I confirm that I am not a politician. I also confirm that I have zero loyalty to any particular political party.

Don't play coy now. You know exactly what I'm referring to. :rolleyes:

Are you sure you'll be coherent? Not many hours to go, Sir Arfur?
Incidentally, I used to take a few many tinctures in The Prince Arthur (Caledonian Rd) in the early 70s .......... any relation?
