    At this stage TK Whitaker should be brought out of retirement.

    Lolol, whether you think he was the the saviour of this country or not (I don't) I don't think he has much to offer in the way of preventing a default.

    Stupid fcukers.

    Watched both of those .. very interesting.. When Mark Little lists the people who disagree with Morgan Kelly (including the central bank), you really see how much trouble he would have been bringing on himself by saying what he was saying... Yet he did, and he was right about everything..

    That's expertise.. And a lot of the people at the upper levels of the Department Of Finance, Regulation, Central Bank etc etc should be forced to hand back every penny they were paid by the state.. incompetent fools, the lot of them.. And the good news is, they've just released an "independent" report absolving themselves of all responsibility and blaming Fianna Fáil...

    Two points

    1) RTE should have introduced Jim Power as being a vested every time he was on the show.. You might as well have had Liz O'Kane in the studio ffs..
    2) Jim Power should NEVER be invited on any RTE panel show as an "economics expert" again.. It was obvious to anybody that there was gonna be a bust, yet he either could not or did not want to see it...


    /major pre-show rant..

    Did ye hear Vinnie's intro.... Chopper and his IMF pals, were in town just in time to hear:
    predictions from the Irish Central Bank that GNP will drop next year by between 1.5% and 2.6%, and that house prices will fall by between 28% and 25%....

    Vinny says "is this the end of the world for us"

    I saw Vinny talking about the end of the world for Ireland. :eek:

    What's happened this time?

    Interesting videos posted above. Hats off to Morgan Kelly. Shame we hadn't people in government like him.

    Was just thinking .. Vinnie must be worried about getting rid of that trophy house of his.. If he cant realise anything close to it's value, he wont be able to pay his debts..

    He should have stayed with RTE.. :(

    He seems to be reasonably on the ball, but I fear he is a long way from the Government top table.

    I hope he is making an impact behind the scenes, but he could turn out to be another George Lee.

    The State Of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

    Nice of Sky to put together an interactive Fukushima nuclear power plant to help us all understand what's going on.... What's next, a platform game where you control a man in a boiler suit with a hose?

    The guy is scared to say anything now because they'll produce a clip of him saying something earlier that contradicted it.

    It's like an episode of family guy with all this clip retrospection.

    Sounds like he is on the reserve bench for one of the economic briefs, Enda policy of getting rid of Ministers that fail to achieve targets.

    Will never happen, Enda Kenny's ministers were more or less decided at the time of the heave and they'll sit in those hugely pensionable positions for as long as possible. They'll reshuffle the same dozen gombeens around from time to time but performance means nothing to the parochial hierarchy of Fine Gael.

    Still though, he does make nice chicken pies.

    And looks a lot like Eamon Gilmore who used to be cool before he became Robo-Gormley.
