Brian Cowan abused by protestor (video)

Wow, I never thought a day would come where I would feel sorry for Brian Cowan, but that video has done it. Cowan is no longer in politics and therefore not accountable to the Irish people- disgusting harassment of a private citizen by a bunch of degenerate thugs.

The man did what needed to be done to keep the country afloat.

It's funny how all these people say he ruined the country when they are all collecting dole payments that were elevated by FF much higher than FG or any of the opposition wanted at the time.

how does only showing up at the central bank 2 or 3 times when finance minister equate to him doing all he could to keep the country afloat, the man is a waste of space and should be ostracised everywhere he goes

I doubt he is responsible for keeping the country afloat.He was an incompetent fool.

he was finance minister and it's on record how useless he was at that job and then he was handed the job of teeshock that boosted his pension up nicely

Those protestors should be charged. You cannot just abuse somebody with impunity. Is it socially acceptable now to bully people?

...otherwise...

I'd really really love to see the **** hammered out of each and every one of them. Knackers.

quick to admisietr your justice on protestors who have hurt nobody yet those who've ****ed 4,500,000 people are to be left alone, despite forcing hundreds of thousands of our family, friends, neighbours etc to emigrate, ruined lives, pushed people over the edge that took their own lives etc etc etc

Nice to see one of the signs is written on the back of Coors light packaging. Recycling and what not.

what one of the sign is written on has nothing to do with anything!!

As opposed to the "lets strip legal entitlements from people I don't like... presumably because they drive nicer cars than I do" utopia you seem to be advocating?

I'm no fan of biffo (although his was the lesser crime of incompetence compared with the willful negligence of Bertie IMO) but the pension is his by law. We do love a good moan in this country all the same

i'd like to see you keep your pension if you didn't do your job while in the post (ie Cowens performance as finance minister) and then as a useless teeshock. peoples anger towards biffo and the likes is not because they drive a better car than I do, it's because they shouldn't even be out driving in the first place, they should be ****in locked up!!

Given that you are an ever-present at the water protests where your motto is that everybody is "entitled" to free water.....you have to admit the irony is delicious.

WE ALREADY PAY FOR WATER, ALWAYS HAVE BUT REFUSE POINT BLANK TO PAY A THIRD TIME

as long as he collects a pension for being a buffoon in government he's accountable to the people of Ireland.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Streetwalker, yes he deserves exactly the same respect as any other citizen. I dislike lots of things people have done and I manage to not abuse them in the street, because of common decency mostly.

In Ireland we can vote for politicians and that's the legitimate way to express this kind of vitriol

But as this week has shown, we only get the choice of one shower of crooks in Fianna fail or the other crowd of crooks in Fine Gael!

Not exactly a great choice!

What's clear in the video is that BC couldn't give a f**k, just sorts his motor out and heads.

Cool as a very large cucumber.

I'd imagine it was more likely he didn't want to say anything to further antagonise an already erratic group of vile 'protestors' and give them more fodder for their pathetic facebook video.
