    Its absolutely sickening. I have received my 3rd letter in the post today warning that I need to pay the TV license. Well they can go and sing for it because there is no way I am paying it. They can lock me up all they want.

    RTE is another scam. They are just mouthpieces for whatever government is in power so that they can continue getting their license fee money.

    It's ironic how the Greeks state broadcaster was ordered to shut down and there were protests against that move over there and here that would be a move that would be gladly welcomed by many.

    The arrogance out of them and the sniffing, it's almost like they were sniffing the marching powder before the call

    Browne is useless these days, a one tick pony who doesnt bother getting on top of the story. Any politician who does'nt get riled by his shtick can make a show of him

    What were Cowen's words some time back:
    'we're not fcuking letting anglo fail'

    There are more tapes on the way and I think it was mentioned on prime time that they are due to come thurs, fri, sat and maybe more next week.

    Wouldn't it be great if we hear these bankers mocking cowen for the fool he is?

    Crossing my fingers

    Watching Vinny B here. Look at the complete Monkey FG has sent to talk about the whole debacle.

    Being honest I'd be quite happy for the Germans to move in and start clearing the decks of Irish banks and the government system here. It's quite obvious it's rotten to the core.

    Or even on a debt writedown or debt forgiveness.

    They will have to realise that the Irish people for the most part had nothing to do with anglo.
    I love your choice of words. It's so funny.

    Fianna Fail's Michael McGrath on Vincent Browne defending the bailout of €64 billion saying without it, there would have been economic carnage.

    There it is folks, for all those responsible for the rebound in support for fianna fail, that is the pig headed arrogance that put this country in the mess it is in.

    This stringing it along over a number of days is annoying me- its getting too tabloid now and it's taking away or distracting from the main point.

    Head up his hole.

    That bank should have been allowed die, The ordinary man didnt have any cash in it, didnt have any loans from it. It was a bank for people with major money and major loans.

    Journalists, Politicians, Developers, Judiciary, Lawyers, Doctors etc etc these are all the people who owed money or had money in this bank which is the only reason this trojan horse was allowed into the guarantee. Disgusting Disgusting Disgusting.

    Why, they tried to take over Europe on two occasions, this time they have succeeded without firing a shot. Hitler must be turning in his ashes.

    Thank you, have something on at 2.30 but may try my best to make that! I cannot believe the phone calls to be honest. The fact that action most likely won't be taken against them shows what a joke this country really is. Where has the fight for what's right gone!!! :-( We need more Michael Collins type figures.

    With the scum and low life who claimed to be patriots, who have boll1(ks the country and enriched themselves at the expense of the people, you are right. From the royal harness that was on our people, to the harness of the low life that were supposed to give us freedom, nothing has changed. Disgusting.

    Germany is one of the few countries doing well in Europe. This is because it is efficiently run and the institutions in it are genuine. If Ireland was run like Germany, we would not be in this quasi dictatorial mess where corruption coupled with incompetence are a way of life. Something like this Anglo Irish Bank fiasco just would not happen there.

    The people of this country are kept out of the closed shops that control the government, banks, TV and other sectors. It is all a who you know thing. Fianna Fail of course are stuck in everything: they present The Late Late Show (Tubridy is a relative of a famous FF family), they are on every VEC board, they have dominated the music business (Albert, Tom Allen, Donie Cassidy, Paschal Mooney, etc. And Louis Walsh as an offshoot from these; later on, the Bertie Ahern promoted band Westlife came into being), hotel sector (Cassidy again), and much much more. Anglo Irish Bank was the main financier behind Fianna Fail's domination of all of these sectors. Fine Gael and the rest are not much better only outgunned by Fianna Fail but they still have their share of the pie and also protected Anglo (Alan Dukes was high up in it protecting FGs interests there).

    It is time the people demanded real change. As said, this kind of cronyism and closed shopism would not happen in Germany and that's why Germany is Germany and Ireland is Ireland.
