    'Final Straw as Shatter Breaks Law on Wallace'

    Can't be having law breakers sitting in the Dail now, can we? :pac:

    Wonder how long it'll take for Gardai to arrest him!

    No doubt there'll be an opening in a chain of Take-aways or somthing for him. Heard Cowen grabbed the petrol-station gig.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,540 ✭✭✭emo72


    he's Donald Ducked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,669 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    He'll get a role on Love/Hate, a crooked civil servant would fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,730 ✭✭✭AllGunsBlazing


    Like any successful Irish politician, Shatter is made from teflon. Nothing will ever stick. At worst he'll be quietly shuffled out of his front bench role before settling into a comfortable life post politics.

    The only funny side to this is the way us Irish will just laugh about how the Minister for justice has broken the law. He will still be given a pension and all the perks of been a TD. That's if he even gets fired or leaves the post. If I lost my job tomorrow, I wouldn't be getting a pension or anything.

    Sorry but this country is ****ed. Everyone is all about the money, ****ing hell I would even do it, there are no implications for your actions. If you rob it's fine, if you get caught it's fine and if you get away with it sure that's fine too.

    Look at Cowan , working in Topaz now. A company that's managed to secure fueling nearly all goverment vehicles. Worst off this is only what we hear about.

    Then again, **** it. Sure I get paid 400.20 a week and my take home pay is 355.50. Yet, someone like Denis dose not have to pay tax in Ireland and earns millions a year and then employes Brian Cowen.

    Maybe Alan will get a job at Hyundai.

    Good, I haven't hated the current government as much as others but can't stand the man for his sneakiness and dishonesty

    Wallllaaaceee!!!

    So Wallace could clean him out in court. I wonder has Shatter pissed off any judges lately?

    Gonna miss him off Callan's Kicks :D

    Also to add, I will vote SF. Just to ****ing make a point that all these parties are all the same.

    I would rather be ruled by England than these scumbags. They are just utter pests, have no idea what they are doing but over a few drinks there mates will look after things then us the tax payer get ****ing fleeced.

    I am convinced, when these water charges are brought in. It will be cheaper for me too go Tesco and buy water from them and fill my tank myself than too buy off Irish Water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    Good riddance to the ****er if it turns out to be true, took long enough.

    Let's hope our dear old Justice Minister has the book thrown at him for breaking the law. Ah who am I kidding. The best we can hope for is his sacking. If he could leave the Dail while he's at it, that'd be great, go back to writing the dirty novels.

    Would he have to pay tax on that? Not that it'd matter to him.:)

    The DPC does not hold a status like the ombudsman nor in poscession of the full powers of a court (more is the pity), hence so long as Shatner is loyal to Kenny, then FG will back him.
    ... 3 weeks down the line after Labour get decimated in the EP elections, it might be another story.

    Id not vote SF over this maybe someone like the Anti Austerity Alliance or the Socialist party. SF's hands are very dirty atm too look at where Gerry Adams is one is as bad at the other.

    it will be very hard for shatter to hide behind a my-civil-servants-ate-my-homework excuse like last time. He had his hand in the cookie jar this time.

    Labour might insist on his sacrifice before the euro elections to show they are serious about standards in office. blood for the blood polls and that

    Ah lads do ye think it's time I close my Boards account then?

    I'm fecked! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,023 ✭✭✭shedweller


    I don't think shatter has anything to worry about. Didn't two glorious bankers get found guilty of ****ing us over only to be found not guilty by the judge because to jail them would be unjust or some cocksu king nonsense like that.
    We are so fecking stupid its laughable. The apologists here and.... wait... nowhere else will no doubt be out in force to explain how we would be fools to vote any of the indos or shinners in.
    Well, if we all voted indo then it would send an extremely clear message, no?
    Would it feck the country up? LOL. More than it is at the moment?
    Or what, what have i missed?
    We need to start going ukraine on our leaders and their lickarses. Fe king tossers are draining us dry just to keep their learjets on standby.

    I hear what you are saying.

    But this is purely to shut people up saying SF are great when they will turn out to be broken promises.

    All the parties have there hands dirty in different ways in fairness. Murder, corruption and ignorance. As someone said how many lives where lost because of the economic crisis, as in people having personal tragedies?

    Sorry for been blunt.

    How he still is Minister For Justice is beyond me. Well it isn't really, considering we don't usually sack politicians in our country. He should be long gone by now. Has to be the most aloof, out of touch Irish minister I've seen in my life.

    Not beyond me either. We are too apathetic. Nothing will change until we actually do something. All of us. Day off work etc.

    The funny thing is, if this actually turned out to be the real Shatter posting online with such a cavalier attitude to the situation, it literally wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    I doubt it's really Alan Shatter. Most of his posts are in Bargain Alerts :P

    I've long suspected that the dynamic of Shatter's and Kenny's working relationship maybe akin to that of Cheney and Bush.

    One providing the simple rustic image for the public to feel comforted by while the other wields the power out of sight.

    Or has the word shat in his name.

    Why stop with Shatter? Get the rest of the rotten scumbags out.
    "DoyouknowwhoIam" is one of the elite who thought themselves above the law.
    Still, good news for the local off-licence as he and Carol drown their sorrows in the safe confines behind those robust pillars that entry their estate. This episode will lower the tone of the area and canny buyers who bought in there 15 to 20 years ago might now be prompted to sell up before any more yobs are uncovered. :D
    We await the usual backslapping at his retirement as other gombeen men eagerly try on the anti slip gloves before looking up the greasy pole.
    I assume the "want to spend more time in Florida with my family" will be trotted out.

    Will he accuse the DPC of antisemitism?

    I doubt it. Just as the Irish people take no nonsense from Pavee Point - because of their habitual bleatings ........ the Sons Of David are regarded as a boring lot with narcissistic and crazy beliefs.
    After all, if you portray yourself as one of the chosen people (by Yahweh) the CMH, Dundrum would be more suitable address than Ballinteer.
