hatred towards protesters unfair.

Its our right to protest and anyone who is giving out about them should look at themselves.
They are not out there trying to make it better,and they are taking it lying down rolling over.
If this was in the seventies or eighties(even perhaps the nineties) the majority of the country would have stopped what they were doing and showed the government exactly how they felt.And would not have stood down until they were heard properly.
This government is ignoring the voice of the people.The people have become sponges:(

And i for one congratulate anyone who has marched in the protests.My sadness is that there was not as many as there should have been.As to many people are hiding their heads in the sand and been controlled by fear.

You have a right to protest, we have the right to hold you with utter contempt for doing it.


An arguement I hear consistently from PS workers is that the country is taking it all laying down, as if they have nothing but complete and total support from the public but they are just too scared and apathetic to do anything about it. It is not the case, given the people I know the vast majority support the public sector pay cuts and would like to see real improvements brought in to the service.

Yes, standing up and being counted.


Any more meaningless cliches?


As I said, they have a right to protest just as I have a right to look down on their utterly meaningless and selfish rage.

I tell you what you take over and everyone else shut up and get taken for the mugs the country is.
I wasn't talking about any particular protests.Was just pointing out Irish wouldn't have took it then,but will roll over now.
Is that all you are worried about foreign investments?
Sure aren't they upping sticks not because of Irish people but because of Irish government and tax's to better cheaper lands?
I don't know that has anything to to with Irish people as work force or protesting.
Or is it that because they want slaves who wont question authority and voice their unhappiness with the economic recessions.That sounds alot like communism to me.
Or is that Irish workers fault also?
Seriously how people get the answers back to me is beyond me.
Goes off in a whole other direction to what i have said.


P.s i didn't say i was a protester i cant attend them.
Better people start protests then others join in and get more organised is it not.
Not like they burned anything is it.
So sitting in your house like a mouse is better idea?
I see where this is going again.

Also i am not an ecomomist.But a few have given their ideas to our TD's and been ignored.

With all due respect how is the Foreign investors leaving fault of the average ordinary working person?

My simple attitude is people have every right to protest and that was given to them apparently in a democracy.
OFC should have been an more properly organized protest with a plan.Do you think it would have made much of a difference?

Where did i agree with the small few trying to force their way into leinster house?

So are you saying all the protesters were on SWP?

And they were handed it on a painted silver plate.;)
How would majority of people who are not economically or statistically aware and trust their fiance minister and taoiseach to warn them at fault.
They are the ones who are voted in to take care of that and they did not tell them we have to put this up or this up because.
They allowed it carry on.


Well i never said it was not their right to stay at home if they wanted.I simply said from beginning they had a right to protest and would probably say the same about those ones who are sitting at home and watching it unfold and get worse.
