Love the comments:

It's like watching a retarded kid trying the do the haka!

The man is absolutely bananas. Next he'll be telling us that Brian Cowan is actually some sort of space creature sent down to bring torment on the rest of us and feed off it...

...He may have a point on that one

I'm sure he'll be roundly criticised for the video. It's funny, he's saying much the same as what Eric Cantona said recently re banks and yet Cantona was mostly praised for what he said.

Corr may be very much 'out there' but at least he has courage in his convictions and is willing to put his own name on the line to stand by what he believes in.. however wrong he is.

Tinfoil hats on everyone, the green space lizards are watching and plotting our demise!

Jim is taking his "being the ugly sibling" thing a bit too far . . .

I remember being asked would I **** Jim Corr to get at the other 3.

I think I said I'd **** him but I wouldn't let him **** me.

I wonder would he or Biffo score higher in a poll.

He has a point though - we need to stand together and show we're not going to put up with any of this.

Star Bingo

the corrs were a lesson in the art of civil obedience ffs, what warrants this? why the U-turn. something must have gone badly, badly wrong!

Our lizard overlords are hardly likely to allow us a peaceful revolt though.

To be honest he's not saying anything too extreme in that clip - I'm sure if you anonymised what he's saying you'd find many people would probably agree with him.

Some of his other stuff is a bit insane though.

He's a perfect target for ad hominem attacks.

There's a man I'd like to have a pint or two with.
Particularly if Caroline Corr is there too.

I don't like Jim Corr ,he has no credibility and he has done himself no favors on TV.But he's describing exactly what Economic hitmen do ,in our case the IMF.The message is the same

Forget all the war stuff ,listen to what the guy used to do for a living

ascanbe

I know some in After Hours can't resist the chance to trot out the same tired 'jokes'; but why not actually listen to what he's saying?
Nothing he says in this video is remotely outlandish.

"We are under an economic attack, which could potentially be worse than war"

Ah now, that doesn't sound like something I'd agree with anyway.

Ah but Cantona was:

1) A decent footballer
2) French
3) A cod philosopher

and most importantly

4) He played for Man Yoo.

So he has to be right!

Doesn't he?

Well if you want to give pretty much any JG Ballard novel a read, you'll be reminded that when a society's economic stability is under serious attack, things can get riotous very quickly.

O'Coonassa

Brian Cowen and Enda Kenny and all the rest believe in feckin zombies and a Jewish Sky Fairy that's going to judge us all like on the xfactor. They also believe that it's better to make everybody debt slaves for generations to come, than to simply go bust and start over like Russia or Argentina.

Clearly Jim Corr, in calling for less apathy and more protest, is totally insane.

stepbar

Jim Corr... Google Acc Bank and Jim Corr and see what you come up with... He's some man to talk....

What a looney. He keeps referring to "our children". I don't have any children, Corr.

steddyeddy

He believes that lizard aliens are trying to take over the world.

Here's to all the man united fans who are listening to the words of a deluded French man being repeated by a deluded Irish man.

I have a few Man united tops signed by Cantona. €20 a pop. PM me for details.
No delivery charge. Sizes range from Small to XXXXL bullcrap

I really do have these in my possession. Honestly. More crap. If you believe this, then you must also believe that lizard aliens are here to take over the world. Stop listening to the rantings of attention seeking whores ffs.

Quote this post if you are interested.

Ah Terry I thought you wouldn't be one to believe gossip.

To clarify occasional disinformation in the main stream media -- I do NOT have an opinion on shape shifting reptilians, lizard people nor aliens, nor have I ever mentioned these subjects publicly.... Jim Corr http://www.jimcorr.com/

Nothing short of a blatant lie.

I've been following Jim Corr and what he has to say for about the last year , and I've yet to hear anything from him that would be in the realm of space aliens or shape shifting reptilians.
So can anyone point me in the direction of some of his so called more 'outlandish' beliefs ??
Thanks.

Bit late for that now! The **** made us the laughing stock of the world. This isn't gonna go away overnight.

I have a match programme from that Champions League Final where Spurs beat Inter Milan 6-0.



Genuine article.

No time wasters please.

Yo... I was the 1915th viewer of that vid'.

The only thing crazy about Jim Corr is that he is bothering about the Irish people at all. Most in his financial position would be supping champagne on a yacht somewhere far away from Ireland. Similar to what Bertie is doing right now.

His hearts in the right place, but we all know the Irish won't rebel. They'll concentrate all their energy mocking those that do. Thats always been the Irish way whether we like it or not. Remember, we're not Greece, we're Ireland. We're used to taking it up the rear, first by the catholic church (literally) and now by the fat cat corporates who have bought the country and sent the bill to the citizens.

True, I always found the way he gives a shít quite endearing, he provokes thought and we need people like that to tell us everything mightn't be as rosy as it seems, even just to make us stop and think for a minute

at least someone here has a bit of intelligence in their comment = URL.

what corr is saying here has nothing to do with aliens or whatever the hell you people are talking about in your childish comments' what corr is saying makes a hell of alot of sense if you researched how banking works which obviously some of you here would not have a clue. as far as i'm concerned what corr says here in his statement is more true than you can imagine. wake up fools or you will all be living as a constant slave to the banks for the remainder of your lives.

Well said. Some of nonsense spoken in this thread is breathtaking , especially in light of this weeks events.

Do you know what I would do if the banks tried to make a slave of me? I would runaway, I would runaway, yeah, yeah. I would runaway (runaway), I would runaway with you.

well then just go back to watching the idiotbox day in and day out' that will teach you nothing of importance or value in life or the concept of how the real world is run. just like "RTE NEWS" cencoring important information from the public. it is the fault of the people engaged in trivial junk on tv that their brain is so full of adverts and lies that they can't see whats really happening out there because of the pollution of crap their brain has been blasted with constantly. it will be your own downfall thats a fact.

Ya Know Something Lads

this may be one of the Truest Quotes I ever Read regards Ireland

"You Get the Government You DESERVE"

Here is someone Who genuinley Cares about the nation trying his best to show people the Truth, and what do we get
Mockery and derision and that typically Irish Attitude of Belittleing anything thats outside your Comfort Zone
You are a Nation of sheeple and Ye're about to get Fleeced

I have been thinking long and hard about Going home in the next few weeks to try and Stop the Country going totally down the drain, but then I read the comments here and think to myself

well if the people living in Ireland couldnt be arsed saving themselves why should we bother?

What were your plans to save Ireland for interests sake?
Not asking sarcastically ,just wondering what you feel you could do that you'd leave your now home for.

Don't think we aren't interested in saving ourselves,we very much are! The loudest voices you hear these days are not necessarily representative of the majority. The majority accept there are cuts to made and pain to come and are stoically going about getting on with keeping the country ticking over as best they can right now.

AIR-AUSSIE

A lot of what Jim Corr says is in this movie, well the last hour or so of it.

Zeitgeist (2007)

It is split into three parts I think - religion, Government & Banking System. I don't necessarily believe all or any of this I just think people need to hear both sides of the argument before being able to judge.

Rebellion costs money we don't have in terms of policing as well as loss of productivity which equates to loss of money. It'll also damage our reputation and we'll be further hammered by the markets. Look at Greece...what did rebelling do for them? Digging ourselves deeper into a hole will not get us out of it.
