I agreed with everything that lad said. He's the kind of leader we need in Ireland. Him or Decland Ganley.

Declan Ganley, the self-professed "British businessman", is the last person who would defend Ireland's interests. The dubious origins of his supposed wealth, his reincarnation as an "Irishman" before the Lisbon vote and his alliances with, and adumbral connections in, the arms industry make him a uniquely shady character in Irish politics in the past ten years. And, yes, that is some feat.

When are the Irish going to stand up as a people and refuse be enslaved by the ****-fúcking-bankers and bureaucrats?

Why are we not standing up to likes of Barroso, Merkel and Sarkozy?

The fact is that Ireland, Greece and Portugal will never be able to pay back the massive loans given to us.

The Irish people should have revolted against this ridiculous bailout and followed Iceland and defaulted.

There have been huge protests in Madrid the past few days about the dreadful rate of unemployment in Spain. They are fedup with the lies from their current government about the true situation of the Spanish economy.

Spain is heading towards a bailout, and when that happens, I hope the entire Euro farce will collapse so that we can get back to being independent states with trading and border agreements between us, like the way the EU was originally envisaged.

Irish people were given a chance to stand up a few months but sadly they ruined this chance by voting for fine gael and labour

So, who else were the Irish people supposed to vote for?

If we default the debt doesnt simply go away and everything is grand then.

I dont know what the alternative is. I am not an economist and I am hearing polar opposite opinions from so called experts on the economy, so i dont know who to trust.

Default seems like a far too risky for my liking. its seems like it would cause us either to be slightly less fúcked or more fúcked than we could possibly imagine overnight.
