Not funny or silly, its a waste.

FatherLen · 12-11-2010 03:28PM

well yeah but it brought a smile to my face

Princess Peach · 12-11-2010 03:28PM

They give them free cheese and this is how they respond?

Ungrateful.

Cookie_Monster · 12-11-2010 03:28PM

was that the free cheese, that kinda backfired then, or should that be "was fired back":D

El Guapo! · 12-11-2010 03:30PM

It wont go to waste. She'll eat it

Evil_Clown · 12-11-2010 03:30PM

They need to put a sign on her car:

'DO NOT FEED THE ANIMAL'

Degsy · 12-11-2010 03:31PM

And what's your contribution to the running of this fine country of ours Leonard.

I'd say it's a fair bet that a lot of these protesters are net beneficiaries of the State.

Much more important news is that the HSE budget for this year is nearly on target.

Maybe Harney can get a few plaudits for plugging the black hole, and bringing these overpaid HSE people to their senses.

if you threw stuff at her and missed you'd be mortified.

She could, if that's what she did.

But she didn't.

First paint, now groceries. Guess their going through the shopping list. Dont worry Mary someone will throw chocolate cake soon.

Absurdum · 12-11-2010 03:34PM

You're right, it's wonderful it only took her 5 years to do something. Well done.

What is it with people throwing foodstuffs lately? Anyway, those involved should count themselves lucky that they're in a position to be able to waste food on such pointless acts. The poor unfortunate sods should fcuk off to a place where people really are suffering and struggling to survive

LOL @ fat jokes.

It's protest at the cheese PR stunt, I imagine.

But that's just silly. People aren't being forced to avail of the scheme, and I'm sure that there are in fact people who will be grateful to receive the assistance regardless of it only consisting of cheese.

This is dumb.

Tis, do they not realise that it's our car, the tax payers, that they are throwing things at. If any repairs are needed it doesn't come from the ministers pockets.

you're right
i for one think it's a grate cheese deal:D

Im not Harneys biggest fan but I do admire her for sticking to her guns and continuing to do what is a very difficult Job.health ministry is poisoned chalice as far as Im concerned and its a job i wouldnt do for all the money in the world.that said she is responsible for the inception of the HSE but I dont think even she could have imagined how difficult it was going to be to fight the machine she effectively inherited.unfortunately the years that all that extra money was pumped into the health service it was effectively swallowed by the policy making pencil pushers who so effectively feathered their own nests and will now get the ultimate payoff with redundancy on the table for them....

I'm sure there are. I'm sure there are a lot of people who resent being patronised by a government denying them their electoral rights, cutting off services, and then offering them cheese.

I wouldn't do it myself, but if the protest consisted of a few easisingles, then I amn't sure that's an excessive punishment for ****ing this country into a cocked hat.

I know things are worse elsewhere, but hey, I'm here now.

She deserves a pension rise. Oh, they voted themselves a pension rise on the same day as the cheese announcement. Grate.
