    They all laughed today when the issue of a social premium was mentioned. This is a wonderfully sounding idea.
    As such we should all be very careful.
    Politicians love such wonderfully sounding ideas, they are ripe for profit.
    Next year your property tax, water charges etc will be used to ensure that NAMA is a success. They will pay the NAMA rate, plus a little, for a small field which has no other possible use and is worth nothing.

    They all laughed a couple of times in the Dail thinking 75 billion of taxpayers money is a joke :mad:

    Irish people generally are slow to go out marching because they have a justifiable lack of trust of the motives of the street corner prophets organising them.

    Last Saturday was organised by the IPU, whose main mandate is that they don't want to pay their mortgages, which means the taxpayer will, and even they were hijacked by the shinners. Labour did Wednesday, they have a charismatic frontman as their (literally) single and only asset, enough said, and the SWP organising the march on this weekend advise to "bring along lots of pots and pans to bang". Yes, we'll be taking you seriously after that.

    These are the same far left extremist socialist groups who have been agitating to turn Ireland into the European Cuba since the 60s, tired, worn out and shabby. Nobody wants anything to do with them for very good reasons, and their transparent attempts to start "the people's revolution" are, well, transparent.

    Anyway there are plenty of other ways to fight than protesting in the streets, more effective ones.

    See AIB shares up 23%, the markets are the real judges here the NAMA con job is complete and our grand childern will be paying for this mess. We overpaid for these land banks, ghost estates and empty business parks that no one wants.

    But the bankers will get rich (again), this share surge proves the NAMA con job beyond all doubt.

    Why no revolution we are a nation of inactive moaners who will bitch into our pint about the situation instead of getting off our ass.

    Has anybody spotted the irony of the whole NAMA legislation? Cowen and Lenihan are constantly pedalling the line that "its essential to the econmonic wellbeing of the Irish economy that NAMA is pushed through to ensure credit is made available to businesses and consumers again..."

    Erm, hold on a minute. Was it not the extensive credit lines being made available to businesses and consumers that got us in this sh*t in the first place :confused::rolleyes:

    Not a bother, when it all falls over again we can just build a bigger, better NAMA. :D

    That literally is the plan.
