Why aren't the people in power listening to these guys?

Because we the people show that we don't pay enought attention to them ourselves.

Love how the VB thread straddles a fine line between hard hitting political/economic debate and critiquing the aesthetic aspects of the female panelists...seemless stuff.

A gold plated....what?

Did anyone catch that?

No but it gave me a laugh the way he said it.
Constantin and co seem confident in proposing a solution there.
It begs the question why aren't they advising the government or is their analysis facile/naive?

They don't like reality. I honestly think FG/Labour know default is the only way out now and are scared ****less to make the call. I've noticed Kenny's body language has been very downcast these last few days i think he knows we are screwed.

I could be wrong on the u-boat. I need my ears tested and have been on a waiting list for 10 months but the good news is only 11 more months to go. 12/Mar/2012.

I refer to to the earlier plan someone came up with.

Lock Angela Merkel in a room with Jedward and don't let her out until we have our bailout interest rate reduced. I'd give her half an hour at best

Got it in one, no one wants to be the guys who finally calls it a day for the economy.

He doesn't like dining with the peasants!!
On a side note,how much did the house go for Vinny?

telekon

Excellent show tonight. You know that when Vinnie has next to nothing to do.

The restaurant Vincent was likely dining in was probably full with some of those people who have so far benifited from this situation: bailed-out property developers, members of the legal establishment, people working on Nama, bank executives etc..

Constantin is the new David McWilliams.

...and then again, it could have been Eddie Rockets.

Constantin is always good value - not sure if he's always right - his presentation is so confident that nobody dares challenge him. Re calls for Paul Sommerville - he's not bad but I remember him being on Newstalk for Delta Index each week spouting crap just to drum up business for spread-trading so sort of take him with a pinch of salt.... Margaret should be on all the time for eye-candy purposes.

Well he did describe it as a fairly up-market, expensive restaurant..

Its quite clear what you've been up to for the past hour glasso!!

So to sum up tonights show.

1. Margaret E Ward is a total MILF - who knew?

2. Fine Gael are no better than the last crowd, and we are heading to bankruptcy in the next 2 years.

Just watching it back now..

Constantin: "he doesnt understand what's going on"..
Vincent: "who?"
Constantin: "Riiiiiiiichard"..

lol

Agricola

I love when Vinny has an economics night. Ya cant beat the kind of misery and depression that Constantin and Paul Somerville peddle!

JonathanAnon

I would agree with me oul pal Tele... excellent show tonight.. probably the best VB show since the show has started... Real heavyweights on the show tonight, and fair play to Richard Bruton for appearing on the show.. He was always gonna be on a hiding to nothing by going on the show..

The toe to toe stuff between him, Constantin and Sommerville was excellent and exactly what the punter wants to see.. It was nice for once seeing one of the politicians having the balls to debate his policies with known experts..

enfant terrible
