The State subsidises drug dealers/criminals to the tune of €100 million a year ...

Gandalf23

... or so says the Sligo IT economics lecturer on Matt Cooper now (missed his name). The €100 million is made up of dole payments, legal aid, etc, made to these scumbags.

So we give the criminals €100 million and at the same time cancel the cervical cancer vaccine.

Something has gone very very seriously wrong with this country.


edit .... lecturers name is Feilim O'Rourke

If a Sligo IT lecturer said it it must be true read off the back of a cornflakes box in a prefab.

etremely sheltered..
your point?

Ah yeah - there's a special criminal drug-dealing scumbag form you fill out in the Dole Office these days and they transfer the 100 million straight into your account by that lunch time.

It's great when you've got a bit of child-murdering to do later on but need to buy some crack heroin first and can't afford the bus fare.

Extremely sheltered indeed

I'm fairly sure my point would be lost on one with such a finely tuned ability to seek out (and feel such an overwhelming need to reply to) what you see as "rants" on the internet.

Shocking waste. 100 million quid a year pumped into the industry, and the quality of the drugs are still shit.

Prof.Badass

Ban them all. No dole for anyone. execution for all the scum who know someone who takes drugs and doesn't rat them out for torture.

Why can't people just do what they're told! Bertie knows best, that's why god appointed him as our moral gaurdian.

But seriously, I wish people could just be rational and open minded and start a "drug discussion" forum to clear ah of all this stuff.

wait... bad idea. there'd be more pigs lurking in there than at the farmers market on a sunday !

AnonoBoy

Off Topic I know but:

Are there really 22 other boards users that chose the username 'Gandalf'? Are you the 23rd person to pick that name Gandalf23 or are you just 23 years old?

I didn't honestly think people picked Gandalf as a real username except in internet pisstake videos.

I'm just not that creative with names I guess.

I have been meaning to subscribe and change my username for a few months now ... must move that up a few levels on my to-do list :D:D ... I'll try to be more creative next time ...

You've posted in it.

€100 million for a social welfare system & justice... even if it's abused, it's a small price to pay.

I think the point being made was that some of these people dont need free legal aid and dole.

You have to admit there is something wrong with an accused drug dealer driving a €100+ grand car and getting free legal aid, while also being on the dole.

And the point should be that the crime is the issue, not the social welfare budget. If you go to prison, you can't sign on, can you?
