What happened in Ireland - capitalism happened; the unrestrained greed of the banks, the developers and the speculators, coupled with the ineptitude, indifference and corruption of the politicians managed to throw away all the gains made ofer the last decade or so.
The present attitude of ALL the major political parties is to screw the less well off and leaved those who created the present mess relatively untouched.
The only way that it can be claimed that "its your fault every bit as much as mine" is that we trusted the bastards in the first place.
We have a General Election on the horizon; probably the only opportunity we'll get of making them upstairs change their attitude
Keith,
As you insist on aiming your comments directly at me, please get what I've said right - and please don't fuck up yet another thread with your vacuous attention seeking.
