    I know i know...politics, recession, blah blah and i apologise in advance but.....

    I invite each poster now to say something positive about the current lot in Leinster House. Say what you like about FF, but at least they did do a bit like saying "Fuk checking my balance, im building a Motorway". They reminded me of myself this past Christmas.

    Anyway, something positive...

    "Hi Enda, i like your sheets"

    No he hasn't, he just doesn't even have to look busy for his money now.

    They're actually going after pensioners, the great untouchables of Irish budgets.

    I notice Inda Kinny has managed to secure a good few new jobs in his home county, while acting the bollix with everyone else.

    He's like Jackie Healy Rae, only looking after his own constituency

    They always vote in greater numbers than the rest so I find it hard to imagine that this will happen to them

    We have a Taoiseach that doesn't look like something from The League of Gentlemen.

    Maybe I'm wrong - but there might be a bit more of an honest outlook on things.

    Now
    "Jesus lads we are fecked!"

    Then
    "No, No, No - the IMF will not be asked to give us a dig out!" 3...2...1.. "Oh Hi IMF"

    Seems from this thread that their greatest strength is still that they're not FF, and everyone hates FF. That's actually the only strong card they play in the Dail but it wore thin long ago.

    VAT on handjobs has been increased by 150% so the most you can hope for is .1 of a millisecond for 7 euro.

    Really? Are you actually being serious???????????????????????????????????? Like the way FG said they wouldn't give the banks "Not one red cent" more?

    As I said a few months ago, and I stand over it now; they're all the same.

    As expected by anybody with half a brain nothing. FG promise the sun, moon & stars after FF have ruined the place again & the majority of the gob****e voting public choose the other end of the same ****ty stick. I'll just sit back now & watch you all turn on Enda & Co as predictably as the sun rises in the morning & sets in the evening. My only hope is that the current opinion pole isn't an indication that the Irish people are planning to vote Sinn Fein in bigger numbers :/

    Both FF and FG should be removed from Irish Politics

    Enda's giving the rest of Europe a great laugh. The Greeks can't afford their sovereign debts with GDP at 300bn and an internal market of 10 million people, it's location in the mediteranean etc....

    But we can afford to pay. All we have have to do is grin and bear it for the next ten or so years.

    Yeah, he's fvcking hilarious.

    Harney is gone - but through no credit is attributable to FG though!
    They deserve no credit for it in the slightest.
