Sew up your pockets

So that is what he thinks of us:mad:

Sorry if this has been done before.

20-10-2013 10:46AM

I hate people like the person filming.

Quazzie · 20-10-2013 10:48AM

The man, however unlikable is only doing his job. Being harassed like that on the street isn't on, no matter who he is.

Tigger · 20-10-2013 10:48AM

Sew up your pockets ?

Khannie · 20-10-2013 10:48AM

Looks like someone being harassed on their way to work.

Every skanger is a camera operator now.

Time for some new legislation

I agree. If some wannabe journalist with a camera phone sticks it in your face, then you should be allowed to punch them without fear of retaliation.

Thought this was going to be a follow up to "give up your auld sins"

How do you make that out

Ridiculous post.

amdublin · 20-10-2013 10:55AM

I watched the first 30 seconds. Couldn't bear anymore.

What makes that fella think it's okay to accost someone on their way to work and RECORD it and put it on the Internet????

Why are people so surprised by "sew up yer pockets"?

Days 298 · 20-10-2013 10:58AM

Did the cameraman seriously expect him to stop and debate policy's with him when he was confrontational from the get go?

RTE give him favourable press so by that logic this guy was simple out to give him bad press?

Hootanany · 20-10-2013 10:58AM

But why did he say "sew up your pockets" ?

Tigger · 20-10-2013 11:01AM

I think its a
Expression that means sew yor pockets so the gov can't take your monies

Personally I think it was a lighthearted comment like sew up your pockets so I can't get your money type of think.

I think he's kind of trying to say look I'm not the big bad wolf I'm just doing my job.

What do you think?

ted1 · 20-10-2013 11:01AM

My faith in humanity is restored I expected all the left wing loonies to be all over this. However I feel quite good known that my fellow country men think the same as me in that these people who harass people on the street are extreme tossers.

Days 298 · 20-10-2013 11:07AM

I thought he meant I'm out to get you personally in a sarcastic way by the sew up your pockets.

Lisha · 20-10-2013 11:08AM

The guy filming was wrong to do so. He accosted someone walking to work and was wrong to do so and post it in the net.

However Michael Noonan was wrong to reply 'sew up your pockets' as a first response. It is a smart nasty comment that Noonsn used to humiliate and silence the protester.

Over the last 12 months, I have grown to despise these protesters. I know one or two personally and I don't think they know what they're protesting about any more. One person is constantly in Leinster street and when the person is not there, they're travelling the country to meet up with people and protest.

If they're not protesting, they're fighting with other protesters for more exposure . I don't see what the big deal is? We all knew it was going to be a tough budget, It's been reported that way for months now. Noonan telling us that is not a real shocker tbh.

Ah don't worry about him. I'm sure his bloated salary compensates him nicely for suffering such discomforts.

have2flushtwice · 20-10-2013 11:22AM

i think fair play to the camera man. he is right in his comment that rte give favourable press. we all sit and moan about tax and the rest but this guy went and asked the questions with the intention of showing us the answers he got.
is it any different to other people leaving court for example, not guilty and the camera in their face? rte do this also, so keep your powder dry lads!

or we can do this:
lets all sit patently and wait for the minister to come onto the radio or tv and get scripted questions and deliver prepared answers.

i say well done to the camera man. he got more balls than the rest of the keyboard bandits.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say you don't work, especially in any a managerial position. Budgets are just that budgets , there away yo balance your expenditure against your income. The government income is vastly smaller than its expenditure so taxes have to be imposed.

I personally think not was a very fair budget.

The camera guy is a muppet simple as that.

Most half decent Irish folk in trouble are out looking for work not protesting, it seems to have attracted the dregs of society recently, all hippies and arseholes that never worked a day in their lives at the front.

It's like the Corrib pipeline, they started off saying the route was to close to houses and that the pressure was to high. They wanted it redirected , then it got all about the money and other tangents. This is why no one cares about it as the protestors don't know what they even want.

Some people are do constructive things with their lives, others just bitch and moan

One of the people I mentioned has been protesting constantly for the last three years. This person gets the dole and rent allowance, why is this person not looking for work? because said person is now against "corporations" of any kind and will not work for fat cats in any kind of environment.

But will gladly take the dole, rent allowance, then go for a few scoops after the protest. Madness.

actually Ted i do work, and work hard like everyone else who is trying to keep things going.
i had to drop out of college because i couldn't afford it, into no mans land with no job. i had to start again at night like lots of others. what am i doing right now, studying, to keep the managers job i have and do it better, and keep a lot of people in jobs by learning the best way to keep the budget in balance. so hopefully that will address your flippant commentabout budgets.

what are you doing for the greater good of everyone- throwing digs at people like me who are willing to go against the grain. fair play to you big man.
some day i hope to be like you! NOT!

How can you understand budgets and moan about taxes?
I got a job during college so was able to finish my course . I'm also at college during night to do my masters.
