Garbage disposal

The EU are to send a probe into the Sun.  [thanks for the tipoff, Captain Peacock]

Fair play to them.

What better time to chuck a billion Euros into a flaming ball of fire, than when half the fucking world is in financial meltdown?

Of course the question has arisen as to who should crew this spacecraft, and the suggestions are already coming in.

Captain Peacock suggests Ahern, Biffo ,Harney and SEAN Fitzpatrick.

Brianf has started the Merkan dimension by throwing Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi into the hat.

I do have one or two suggestions myself…

  • The Entire Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour parties including all TDs, and any fucking cunt who voted for them.  This includes all who have ever sat in the Dail in the past.
  • Bruce Forsyth.
  • The entire EU with the one exception of Nigel Farage.
  • Anyone who thinks they know what is good for me and tries to force their beliefs through law.
  • Dana.
  • All board members [and ex-members] of the Irish banks.
  • Daniel O’Donnell.
  • Any member of any eco-group and especially any Green Party Twats.
  • Jamie Oliver.

And that is just for starters.

I can see that this is going to have to be quite a large spacecraft.

Anyone I have missed?

Leading them to the abattoir

April 19th, 2012

In six weeks time we will vote on the Fiscal Treaty.

Of course we are being told to vote “yes”.  A yes vote will ensure more jobs, a secure future and marmalade on our toast every morning.  A yes vote will mean the Euro is safe.  A yes vote will show our commitment to Europe.

What a steaming pile of horseshit.

What short memories the sheeple have!

We were promised jobs and prosperity if we had a second vote on Lisbon. Can someone please tell me where those jobs and the prosperity are now?  I can’t see them.  We were promised a stronger, more united Europe.  Tell that to the Greeks.

Basically we have two options.

We can vote yes and hand the keys over to an unelected bunch of dictators in Brussels who don’t give a flying fuck about Ireland provided we keep pouring billions into their coffers. 

We can vote no and take our chances with the money markets.

We have a choice of the hangman or the firing squad.

A yes vote will not only lock us into permanent austerity, it will sign away forever our independence and sovereignty.  They might as well have German jackboots goose-stepping up O’Connell Street.

If we vote no, we at least retain a wee smidgin of dignity.  The scare stories [of which we are soon to hear plenty] will scream about no pay for our nurses and teachers.  They will shout about the drying up of the ATMs.  They will threaten us that Ireland will cease to have any money at all.

There is a simple answer to that.  If we stay within the Euro, and vote no, Europe will still have to bail us out if there is any threat to their precious fucking Euro.  They cannot afford to let us get into trouble or their Euro will collapse, closely followed by their wet-dream of a United States of Europe.

I know the sheeple will vote to accept the treaty.  They will lap up all the rhetoric and propaganda.  They will believe all the fairy tales of a bright and sunny future.  They will hear how the American Chamber of Commerce has called for a Yes vote [what the fuck?]. 

They will be voting for a lot more of this, so that they can pay for a lot more of this.

The sheeple will get what they deserve.

Me?

I’m beyond caring any more.

The headline on today’s Sunday Times…..

WaterMeter

If they were to hang me, would they expect me to pay for the rope?

If they were to shoot me, would they expect me to pay for the bullet?

If they were to stick me in the electric chair, would they expect me to pay for the electricity?

The EU is behind this, of course.  They have ordered… we must obey.

The syphilitic cunts can take my water pipe, ram it up their collective arses and whistle Handel’s Water Music for all I care.

If the EU want me to have a meter, then they can fucking pay for it.

What the fuck is a promissory note?

For that matter what the fuck is a bond?

And why, nearly four years on are we still trying to pay the debts of a bank which has gone bust?

As far as I can make out, Anglo Irish Bank still needs money to pay the gamblers so it borrows from the Central Bank.  The Central Bank doesn’t have the money so it gives a “promissory note” or a bond or something to Anglo.  Apparently the promissory note is worthless and can be torn up in a few years [why not now?] but in the meantime the Central Bank has to borrow money from Europe to cover the cost of the promissory note which is worthless.  And apparently we can only borrow from Europe as the money market doesn’t trust us and the profligate way we chuck money into dead banks.

It’s doing my fucking head in.

As far as I can make out, there was a shed load of invented money floating around five years ago.  When the crash happened they suddenly realised that there was a couple of trillion in banks and elsewhere that didn’t actually exist.  All they found was a couple of trillion IOUs that were worthless.  Instead of tearing up the IOUs, they decided that someone had to pay them so they are shunting them around Europe trying to find some fucking idiot who will pay hard cash for them.  And we all know who that fucking idiot is, don’t we?  You and me.

They can fuck off.

I have had it with Noonan and his “great deal” that he has done whereby we don’t have to pay one of our the gamblers’ debts for fourteen years or one year [no one seems to know which]. 

I am sick of hearing about the fat cats who are running banks making billions in losses but who are still paid funny money salaries and stellar bonuses.  How come the head of Anglo [which is bust and is being wound down] got paid  €800,000 last year out of my taxes?  How come €200,000 of that was “relocation expenses”? 

Worst of all, I am sick and tired of that fucking “troika” ordering us around, and our gubmint licking their arses at every opportunity. 

I have decided to pay the property tax.

No.  They aren’t getting their grubby little hands on my cash.

I’m sending them a promissory note.

Marrying the rapist

March 28th, 2012

So the date is set.

We are to have our little referendum on the “Fiscal Treaty” on the 31st of May.

In the coming nine weeks we are going to be bombarded with more lies, threats and propaganda than ever before.

Now by my understanding, this treaty ties us into honouring financial restrictions and rules as laid down by Brussels.  They will have the ability to set our financial targets and if we don’t honour those targets we can be liable for massive fines.

This is not some new law we are talking about.  This is the Irish Constitution which is supposed to represent the identity and aspirations of the Irish People.  Once it is in, it is in and cannot be removed.  The only way to remove it is by another referendum and that is never going to happen.

Already they are starting on about the “benefits” of voting yes.  Already that cunt Lucinda Creighton is mouthing off saying that amending the Constitution was a big choice for voters and that, while it was not for the Government to issue ultimatums, she felt “very clearly that it is in our interests to vote Yes”.  In other words, we are not going to threaten you but you had better vote yes, or else.  But then she would say that when she has her snout firmly in the cash trough that is Brussels?

I can guarantee that we are to hear endlessly about how a yes vote will be great for business and that it will guarantee jobs and prosperity for the future.  We will hear how we will gain gratitude and respect from the people of Europe for saving the Euro.

We will also hear how a no vote will mean that we will not be able to borrow on the international market, the cash machines will run dry, our teachers and nurses won’t get paid and that ultimately the sky will fall in on us.

What they won’t tell us is that we are not just tying our boat to the Titanic, we are welding it firmly to the hull.  Brussels will have the ultimate control over our financial affairs and this handing over of sovereignty will actually be embedded in our constitution. They will have the final say and there won’t be a thing we can do about it.  We are handing all our keys over to Brussels and independence will become something for the history books.

Brussels doesn’t give a flying fuck about Ireland.  They are interested only in their Euro and their ultimate dream of a United States of Europe.  If sacrificing the people of Ireland to permanent austerity is part of the price for stability, then so be it.  If we complain, then all they have to do is to tighten our belts by another couple of notches.

They will say that there is no alternative.  I will say there are many alternatives.  We can simply vote no, and Brussels will just have to grin and bear it.  As we will still be part of the Euro they will have to treat us with a little more respect if they want their precious currency to survive.  We can vote no and withdraw from the Euro.  OK, that would mean some difficult times, but the Euro has done us no favours in the past.  If we hadn’t been in the Eurozone, it is very unlikely we would be in the terrible mess we are in now.  It as the low interest rates demanded by Germany and France that allowed us [and the Greeks] to borrow so much.

I just can’t help but think that asking us to vote yes is like asking us to marry our rapist.
