"Green" policies are destroying this country

these are the only groups i know of in ireland that have been trying to create public banks in ireland

think they could be the same group, but they havent seemed to gotten very far with the process

the public banking institute of America seems to be making progress

I did say it should be fun hearing how the cultists were going to attempt to explain the reasoning behind Ryan granting licenses to an industry that has a very poor record environmentally and is of no real benefit to the state while at the same time he sits on his hands on Barryroe and is attempting to ban LNG.

I`m not surprised that when it comes to you, as per usual, your reply provides nothing other than comedy value.

Says all that needs to be said about the present bunch when the likes of Patricia McKenna looks on them as a bunch of clueless lunatics.

im not surprised at that, ellen brown(president of the public banking institute) was here giving public talks at the time, this is when i discovered her and public banking in general, but our movement has seemed to have died a death since, the pbi's movement seems to be moving along in the states, although slowly

i think public banks are urgently needed for many different reasons, not just providing citizens with their banking needs, but to potentially safe guard us from national and international financial shocks, but they would also introduce their own risks and problems. i think two types of public banks should be introduced here, from a public infrastructure bank to a citizen based public bank, similar to germanys sparkasse

It`s very transparent that there is one poster on here that if Eamon said day was night that poster would believe him without question and then tell us to "read back" as proof he was correct.

When you are within the margin of error in the opinion polls, listening to the public politically should be a wake up call. Especially when the likes of Patricia McKenna are looking at you as a clueless idiots.

I see you are attempting to deflect, as per usual, from the latest lunacy with public banking, or perhaps you believe it all part of a green party master-plan to build a Fort Knox to hold gold and silver from Donegal and Leitrim as collateral for a new currency to be used in this public banking system.

Nothing would surprise me at this stage when it comes to this bunch of lunatics

Is An Post not our public bank??

Antiquated and not fit-for-purpose but it's there and could be utilised and improved. Not that I can ever see that happening.

Not to get all poetic, but your post reminded me of what was said about a poet and a few lines from a particular poem.

With the prospecting licenses for Donegal and Leitrim the greens reminded me of what was said about Byron. Mad, bad and dangerous to know.

The ship going up in flames reminded me of that line from Casabianca where "The boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but he had fled....". could not be said of Brokenangel`s scrambling not to go anywhere near that ship.

I tend to like analogies a lot. Those ones are fairly good all right.

Though for the green party et al - the image that comes most frequently to mind is this one

And thats not because claims we're all doomed because of climate change and environmental degradation, but rather that we will all be doomed if the bunch of clueless twats in the gp aren't kicked out soon, we will be!

yea this is questionable, id have to go with a more so no, but i cant give you a definitive on that, but i do think the postal system is a perfect infrastructure to implement one

Good luck with that Tom, but I have a strong feeling your chances of that happening on past history from that poster are in the zero to sweet f a category.

Smoke and mirrors sums it up alright. There has been all party consensus on public banking back, from memory, as far as 2018 at least and the irony seems to be lost on the poster that while attempting to distract from the latest green party contradictions on prospecting licenses with public banking, an Irish Green party MEP just a few months ago contacted Irish banks urging them not to lend to farmers.

Looks like the greens favour and urban bank rather than a public one. But then, as they keep showing when the left hand doesn`t know what the right is doing themselves, it`s difficult for anyone else to know what they want.

Untrue.

Answer the question.

Edit?

answer the question please.

an Irish Green party MEP just a few months ago contacted Irish banks urging them not to lend to farmers.

It's dirty under the table shenanigans like this and Eamon Ryans interfering with the planning process where he told An Bord Pleanála that it shouldn't give permission to the Shannon LNG terminal, that shows what the green party think of the countries financial and state bodies, which apparently they seem to believe they can walk all over regardless of their mandate or otherwise.

Whatever their latent communist ideologies may be - that kind of shite in a democratic country is likley to come back and bite them.
