I find it amazing that people will vote for this shower as they rob the taxpayer blind. They do not even have to wear masks!

Its not that amazing when you realise people are sheep, and stupid..

Would that be FF's tame hack Fionnan getting privileged information before the house?

If he did get inside information that could lead to meddling in share prices I hope somebody goes to jail.

AIB up 22.62% in US.

Wonder if the federal securities people would take a dimmer view of Fionnan's "guess" than our own people.

Any link to what Fionnan said?

Edit:
23.65% now

That says it all!

I wonder if this rise is linked to the level of investor confidence that the draft legislation will be passed with minimal alterations as well as their confidence that the deal as it stands is great deal for the banks.

Insightful post by Karl Whelan, who points out that the vague 30% discount (sic) tells us even less then you might think.

The only thing that matters for assessing the potential cost to the taxpayer of NAMA overpayment is the average haircut on non-Anglo loans. Anglo is a nationalised bank and this transaction is one arm of the state paying another arm of the state.
...
Can we be sure that the average haircut of 30% announced today implies a larger haircut for the two main banks than was anticipated?

That will be spun by Lenihan, no doubt, as evidence of the international financial comunity's growing confidence in Ireland's banking sector, confidence that is likely to further increase when the bill goes through. Nama's working.

It really is time for a revolution - a peaceful one, mind you - but a revolution nonetheless, to kick these basterds out. :mad:

I'd settle for blood spilled to be honest.

Honestly, who in the last few hours has not contemplated what they'd like to do with Cowen, Bertie and Lenihan if they got them alone in a room for an hour...

Dear Santa,

This christmas can i please have:
1. A chainsaw
2. Nut cracker
3. Big sharp pointy stick with bits sticking out
4. A can of petrol and a box of matches.

I've been a very good boy all year

Cowen,Bertie and Lenihan have got us into this bloody mess but it the generation of people on this country that always Votes FF that has put them there.

I've never once voted FF because look where voting FF gets you.In fairness to all the other parties it doesn't matter who's in their now because the thing has got so bad nobody would be able to give us a quick fix.

Even if FG,Labour and Sinn Fein were there things wouldn't improve immediately,the fact is the money is no longer there and it's going to take a few severe budgets to get the money back,thios is going to happen no matter who's there.

There is however measures we could take to save money internally(In the Dail).
1)Firstly cut all TD's wages in half
2)Get rid of the Seanad and reduce the number of Junior Ministers,as both are really needed.

The sad reality is we will now all Vote YES on Lisbon because we think its the easy fix but it's not.After all the Government want us to Vote YES,we you trust a shower of cowboys that spend our money on theri trips to the Cannes Film Festival and free trips to America on Paddy's day every year.
