Would you welcome Chancellor Merkel to Ireland?

Personally, I wouldn't be against her visiting; business or leisure. She seems nice enough. If anything I think it would be quite grown up to be able to tell her of our woes with Europe here. Dressing up in Nazi uniforms and destroying our own streets over it just seems very childish and unnecessary to me.

Yes.

NEIN, We have had our fill of Fat Bints robbing the country blind, looking at you Biffo, Bertie and Harney et al.

3ndahalfof6 · 09-10-2012 07:47PM

Do you think they would let me get close enough to.

Of Course, why on earth wouldn't you?

Fromthetrees · 09-10-2012 07:51PM

I'd welcome her as much as I welcome a head cold, I wouldn't like it but I'll ignore it until it goes away, sure that's the Irish way to be sure to be sure.

Willkommen.

Is this a serious question?

Not seen the news today? She went to Greece! They ripped the place apart and some dressed as Nazis for the day.

kodoherty93 · 09-10-2012 08:02PM

Yeah of course. She has allowed the country to function for the last 3 years with cheapish money. If we didnt have a bailout the country would not have functioned over night. No money to pay social welfare, education and pay wages.

We would have ended up like a third world country

eth0 · 09-10-2012 08:02PM

She'd realise that none of us are actually working instead of just the lads with the flag not working.

The Little Fella · 09-10-2012 08:03PM

Chancellor Merkel...pfffft...more like Overlord Merkel.

3ndahalfof6 · 09-10-2012 08:06PM

It would be a merikel if she was received well.

Did Germany cause Greece's problems?

DyldeBrill · 09-10-2012 08:20PM

Yes be sorted if she asks me for any sort of directions!

Thrill · 09-10-2012 08:20PM

Lets have a referendum on it, to see if she's welcome by all.

If we vote no, well then we can always hold another referendum to see if we were only kidding the first time.

Truth is, if the Gov want her to come calling then they ain't likely to ask us if she's welcome or not.

She's welcome to call around to my place though. She'll have to make do with spuds and cabbage and a spot of dancing around the ould fire to violin music.

the word nazi mentioned in the opening post. how original. i am surprised the irish do not get a rough ride in places like Britain where the IRA committed many a heroic deed.

wes · 09-10-2012 08:24PM

I see no reason why she shouldn't be welcome. Now if people want to peacefully protest, then they certainly have that as well.

Richard Hillman · 09-10-2012 08:25PM

Of course i would. Why wouldnt we welcome our own head of state to visit us

Yes, they refused to keep lending them money so they could retire at 50 and not pay taxes.

the same people would probably put black polish on their faces if barrrack obama came.

Z.O.D!!! · 09-10-2012 08:29PM

Welcome is a bit too strong a word for it, just like the Queens visit to our fair shores, I would nothing it.

One member of a foreign political class meeting with a member of the Irish political class means sweet F.A to me.

apparently a lot of Greeks have their money abroad to avoid paying tax. much like our own elite. the greeks were expecting handouts, in other words, free money. they had their chance and they blew it. EU money is now going towards 'Eastern' European member states where the people are a bit more hard working and less likely to piiiss it away.

What are you on? Did you not see the news today? It was shown by all news stations today - Greeks dressing up as Nazis in protest at Merkel's visit. I don't see how my reference to that is out of context.

Think before you post...

Maire2009 · 09-10-2012 08:42PM

Why are people so anti-Merkel? She's serving her people as best she can, and trying to do right by her country. If only the gob****es here would do the same.

As for the muppets in Greece in their Nazi outfits - perhaps they'd be best served trying to rebuild their country rather than destroying it.

I would suck her f*cking dick if she came here.

zenno · 09-10-2012 08:58PM

I don't trust her, or her side-kick :pac:... Nasty piece of work the both of them are and not welcome. They are going to have us for dinner.

Madam_X · 09-10-2012 08:58PM

I don't know anything about her, but it's fashionable to hate her, so yeh, she can fuk off the nazi! And she's not hot - the bitch!
