Communist Eire - Pass needed to Travel

bertiebowl

I didn't realise, but we have become a communist country.

What?

Oh yes - you now need a pass to travel in certain parts of the country (Clare to be exact).

This pass system is enforced by a system of secret (undercover) and not so secret police.

What's next? rationing of food by Bertie - extreme leader?

Not to mention the foreign secret police who are allowed carry weapons and use them against Irish citizens if they perceive a threat...

What if I were to percieve GWB as a threat (he clearly is)? Could I shoot him then? I should have more of a right since I'm an Irish citizen and he's not. It could easily happen that my secret service could see GWB as a threat to me and have a few snipers take him out.

Of course that's not going to happen since my SS are presently terrorising the town of Dungarvan since I might be passing throught there sometime next year.

Didnt you lads hear? The Government are reforming the Guards as SS Deaths head Division - Irish Chapter. Bertie has declared himself dictator for life. Dissenters are being dragged from their homes as we speak and being shot in the streets. People are having their property taken from them, appropriated by the state with their former owners now enslaved. Scapegoats are being selected for demonisation and liquidation. Mountjoy is being refurnished with gas chambers. Media is being taken over by the Ministery of Truth.

Oh sorry, did I go ott again.

Double darn.

but why say communist?

"They let you do that, travel state-to-state without papers?"

"Yes," Ramius assures him, "state to state".

Something Communists couldn't understand. Now democratic people are beginning to live in their world of police states and secret police. Thats why he said it.

right wing government s have secret police too? and its the rights that in power at the mo....

ArphaRima

Chewy what's your fascination with which wing government makes you carry a pass? A point was made. A valid point. And you are fixated on whether he should have said Communism or another form of government.
Would you be happy if he said Fascism? Despotism? Monarchism? Who cares.

Fact is the Communists were renowned for their paperwork, bureaucracy, restricted lives, etc.

alright

Given the cost of living, surely the "Dear Leader".

The guard have the power under the public order act for an event like GWB visit to seal off areas like they did in clare. The secret service was armed and proper order, i was really hoping that a one of the protesters would have got in, had they been shot thats one less drain on the dole

As for the communist statement, i agree but only if we let those left wing protesters get any power which won't happen.

That’s strange a state has to be communist to have passes to travel to certain parts of the country. :rolleyes:

We do it, the United States do it – it’s ration depending on what money one has – they must be communist as well? :rolleyes:
