The arrogance of Bertie

[Forrest]

Doesn't Charlie Haughey's comment on Bertie epitomise everything about him - "The most devious of them all", and CJ should know

A minor point, I know, but would it really have been too much trouble for the Irish Times to spell Qatar correctly? Back in the day, newspapers employed people called editors. Yet another Irish institution that can't be bothered to do its job properly.

What do you expect from a bunch of cokeheads?

I didn't hear people complaining when taxes were lowered a few years ago.
When money was relatively plentiful for social welfare, who complained?

Where were the the people then demanding we increase taxes to save for a rainy day?

The banks lied to the government.
The financial regulator clearly was not doing their job.

The government is guilty of being as stupid a the rest of us, its now easy to see the bubble burst with the benefit of hindsight.

And remember we put them all there.

The system is at fault, we need a group of people working for the country.
Not a group of people working for themselves, and bickering over nonsense while ignoring the countries needs.

Vote for me, I couldn't do any worse, and I need the money.

Bertie really gave the citizens of ireland the two fingers yesterday when he made his comments, he knows what people are going through and he just mocked us, what really puzzles me is how these guys are not locked up, they have raped our country and still they are walking around cock a hoop, god help the kids of ireland because they are in for a tough life if they in this little fucked up island of ours

They didn't complain because they thought that the government was doing its job. If they knew how they were mismanaging the economy they might have called a halt.
