How long is Fine Gael allowed to blame FF for all the countries problems?

I'm looking at Enda Kenny on RTE news now talking back to Michael Martin coming out with the same old tired mantra "your the ones who got us into this mess" :rolleyes: everyone knows that you idiot Kenny your just making a twat of yourself coming out with the same crap all the time,real action is needed,how many jobs have been lost since this FG/Labour coalition have been at the helm,a lot more than have been created that's for sure, this Inernships nonsense will only serve to benefit greedy employers who will get a full time emloyee for €50 a week and the Government as they try to desperately to paper over the cracks.

It is so.

2007 General election FG had big spending plans and talked of an average growth rate upto the 2012 election of over 4% per annum.
Same with Labour.

None of them saw it coming, the current government like to appear wise in hindsight.

Held responsible sure hasn't Bertie Ahern and Brian Cowen and their lackeys retired now and are living a grand life while people struggle to make ends meet and emigrate in their droves,if i had my way they would all be in jail for the mess they have got us into.

This is something else that grinds my gears. They have retired in peace. What did their party do? Feed the NPRF to.the banks. What does that mean for us? Work until the day we die.

Why isn't the nation getting out protesting/striking to hold these people responsible? At the end of the day the ball is in our hands and if the nation came together and get off their asses and protest/strike we'd do it.

Because people are lazy ****ing idiots.

The reason people are not out there protesting is because they havent felt the pinch yet. The majority of people are still very comfortable. When water charges, property tax and all the other austerity cuts come fully into place people will no longer have that extra 100 Euro to spend in the pub. To spend on the luxuries they are used to.

Also there is very little leadership. Most protests elsewhere are union led workers protests. The workers in this country have been sold down the river by the high paid union chiefs. The people are without leadership, the government is gonna savage them and theres nobody to say "enough lads everyone on the street". An individuals reaction to this is anger and outrage and finger pointing. An organised groups response in protest.

When the cuts hits hard next year someone will have to stand up and say its time to march. The ULA/SF will do it (and have been doing it) but until hundreds of thousands realise this shít is gonna get a hell of a lot worse and they are gonna suffer there wont be enough on the streets to force the rest out.

If 1,000 people march tomorrow you say fair play to them but I have stuff to do. If 200,000 people march you say "this is it, its time to make a stand". But you wont get those numbers until the austerity cuts are well under way and people realise their standard of living has been sold to pay European banks back and keep German and French economies strong.

I'm disappointed in FG and Enda Kenny. I listened to Enda today on Taoiseach questions. He is at the same aul carry on that Cowan was at... barely answering questions and being a smug b,tard.

They are also taking the easy option of following the blueprint left by FF. They say they are the hard decisions but following someone else's blueprint is the easy thing to do.

So what is the alternative? What is the alternative to the blueprint left by the last shower?

How do you suggest we return to having a fully functioning banking system, pay off the national debt, and have the luxury of having an accident and emergency ward in every two-bit hospital in this country of less than 5 million people? Back of a fag packet summary will do.

It's very easy to spout out populist nonsence, the type of thing you accuse the government of doing. The people voted for austerity. If they wanted to vote for a default, then we would have the ULA in power. If you don't have the money, then you don't get to have nice things.

More harsh times, savage cuts, and unpopular decisions instead. Unless Kenny manages to get that money tree in his back garden to start shedding.
