    You do realise there's other choices on the ballot aside from crooks and communists?

    You really think so? Our entire political spectrum has swung to a strongly socialist agenda. A benefits and entitlement culture fostered by weak politicians!

    Well as this thread highlighted Ireland can be socialist for rich and for poor. The poor get discounted rent and the rich get to keep an island!

    Lovely Leo suggests setting up fake accounts online so he can brainwash the people.
    Imagine the outcry if Bertie had tried that.
    I disagree with both of their carry-on.

    I wouldn't take any of them.

    The acceptance of being screwed over is bizarre.

    Why? Shouldn't CAB have been able to seize it.

    Maybe the same way Denis O Brien accrued his wealth in Ireland?

    Are you jealous? They inherited it fair and square.

    Is there feck. Honest people don't go into Irish politics.

    Lovely Leo would never do that.

    Indeed, but the rest of the Irish public are quite happy to keep voting for liars and crooks, hence the mess, and hence there is and will be no alternatives.

    Dunno whether he would or not, but corruption is corruption, and it shouldn't be ok when by the "right" person. Certainly people who think Haughey and Bertie were brilliant are in absolutely no position to criticise corruption or exploitation by absolutely anyone else.
