    Yeah good plan. Let's topple the government. That'll teach them. Then everything will be ok. I'm sure the country can run itself. Down with civilization as we know it.

    Our government is getting blamed for our current economic downturn, and anyone who thinks this is basically a moron. I think they are doing a decent job. Books have to balance and they are doing what is neccesary to balance them as best as possible, which isn't easy when ya have every whinging bastid storming the dail for every cut or tax increase.

    Wake up and look around!

    (I'm giving Michael D. a reprieve for generally being an okay guy)

    He'd be one of the first in my line of fire tbh along with O'Cuiv and a few other dead weights, they're like charracters out of Wanderly Wagon ffs a total waste of tax payers money. As a matter of fact a lot of departments should be scrapped along with junior ministers, td's and all mini ministers etc. etc. we'd save million there for a start. Then get rid of all these spindoctors because, lets face it, they're doing nothing either only bleeding the state. I can't employ a spin doctor for my job and write it off against taxes. They signed up for a job, if they're incapable of doing it without half a dozen spindoctors hanging off them then they should be fired and replaced with someone who can do their job properly, God knows they're getting paid way more than they should be. This country is like a dog infested with fleas, they're so many greedy b**tards trying to suck the life out of it and the genuine workers paying for it all.

    Hypothetically one could call for a general strike, though that would be legally questionable.
    If only there was an alternative :eek:
    If you dislike the government enough, there's always an alternative.

    Actually Bertie's decade of indulging the civil service, permitting government and private borrowing to spiral out of all reasonable proportion, ignoring climate change, and permitting the economy/finances to become so construction/property-dependent, all this is indeed to blame for the severity of the world recession on Ireland..

    Is Bertie in the current government?? The current governement are trying to implement changes to maximize our regrowth after the recession. If they had our support instead of us fighting every decision they make they might be more effective.

    We could all put on some yellow tshirts and take over Dublin airport and Shannon. It worked for the Thais :D:D

    I reckon if we ignore them, they'll just go away.

    Start with roasting Harney on a spit. Feed her to the homeless and those in real poverty, there's plenty to go around.

    Mortars would be good.

    Lots of mortars.

    For no apparent reason.

    We should get these lads in to run the country, they would be a huge improvement on the current incumbents...

    How do we overthrow the governement?

    Down tools and keep them down till they resign.
    Will it ever happen? No for a number of reasons - so we're screwed and stuck till the next official election, with the miserable, horrible, twats, moronic fools, gob****es, lard arses, hypocrites and liars until the next term

    - and guess what, the stupid herded sheep of this country will try to elect them again.

    We're fooked!

    Blunt but in a nutshell!

    Musical terrorism, we just play Anthrax and Pantera at 1 billion decibels into the dail until they all self combust.

    That'll teach em. :p

    Make an announcement in the Dáil that there's a BBQ for TDs being held on Merrion Square at the taxpayer's expense. When they all leave to stuff their faces with mmmm taxpayer food, sneak inside.

    The best way to overthrow the Government is to vote them out. It's a near certainty at the next election anyway. We don't have a tradition of street protest in this country and anytime any genuine street protest is organised it is sneered at and lied about in almost all of the media.
