Letter to Biffo
Grandad December 11th, 2009
Dear Mr Cowen,
I would like to congratulate you on your recent budget.
In particular I would like to congratulate you on your courage in cutting Social Welfare payments to the sick, unemployed and disabled. That was a stroke of genius. Also of course the fact that you included the lowest paid in your pay cuts.
The sooner that the people of Ireland realise that they are of no consequence, the better. You know, and I know that the single most important thing is your personal standing in Europe. At all costs, they are the people you must impress. Who cares if your popularity is zero at home, so long as you are admired in Brussels?
The lessons of Opus Dei are strong. To appease the Lord, one must self flagellate and the more blood the better. You have spilled a lot of blood and the IMF is pleased with your sacrifice.
Your standing in Europe is good now. You were admired for your stance against democracy when you ignored the wishes of your people and reran the Lisbon Treaty. You were admired for introducing those draconian laws against evil smokers, even though they were not requested. That showed initiative.
As a mark of respect for your dedication, I have pencilled you in as a potential candidate for European President in the 2083 elections.
Keep up the good work.
José Manuel Barroso
P.S. Please find enclosed a cheque for €100 towards your flood relief.
P.P.S. Where exactly is Ireland?

yeah well done biffo now i am thinking to make my already tight budget go far and these cuts have not helped. god i might have to move abroad if this is the case.
Vicky – That’s the whole idea. If you are not a banker or a builder, then fuck off. We don’t want you. That especially applies to the unemployed and the disabled.
I am sick and I have to go to a job interview and then go see my parole officer. Computer virus from GD ? Thanks a lot old man.
TT – It is the season for spreading around what little we have.
Just mind you don’t step in it.
Also please extend my added congratulations to BIFFO’S mates IBEC (Irish Bastards for Economic Contraction) for the huge engineered swell of media support in past week that helped him ram through the fuget.
The FFers were elected by the people…
Don’t blame the dog if you trod in it – your fault
Shameful. That’s all I have to say. (except i’ve missed 29 posts thanks to Reader)
King’s Bard – They morally lost that mandate in the local elections and in every opinion poll since. They know they don’t have a mandate, but haven’t the moral courage to stand down. Power is more important than morals.
Baino – Loads of reading matter for you!
Soon we will have to pay the government every year for the privilege of being allowed to live in one’s own house.
