    None of that crowd deserve votes. We should be rid of them for many years to come. The only pity is that we seem to have got a Mk 2 variety now. Different Govt, same policies.
    If there was an election in the morning, I'd really be struggling to find a party or candidate to support.

    I now have nobody to vote for either. We need a brand new party.

    I have sympathy for James Reilly. It is a very difficult job and he is handcuffed by the Croke Park Agreement which exempts 70% of his Budget from cuts until 2014.

    On the other hand, he has left himself with nowhere to go by complaining publically about his difficulties. It wasn't a great move.

    I have zero symapthy

    He is a poor communicator, a poor leader and a poor businessman..... so he has found his perfect career IMO.. except he is also a poor politician

    Handcuffded by the CP agreement. Gimme a fuckin break. Tear it up.

    So how would that work exactly? :rolleyes:

    James Reilly cannot just unilaterally 'tear up' the Croke Park Agreement. The Government are committed to it until 2014. He has no authority to alter it and would be sacked immediately.

    No he doesn't. But the government does. At least he had the honesty ( political inconpetence? ) to call it the elephant in the room.

    Maybe the elephant is the vast majority that accept that this cant be changed and bow their heads? Tis a legal issue you see.... unlike Oct 2008 when there was no consultation or legal fretting when the country was pawned.

    Dunno but I doubt he will last much longer on tv3, these days he has been reduced to a bumbling moron who's sentences sound more like drunken rants.

    Brian Hayes is on without wearing a tie tonight.

    I think he is better without a tie, it makes him more casual for a weeknight.

    That Margaret Kennedy sounded British or at least spent the best part of her life there, plus she has been annoying me on all the broadcasts today as she kept hanging the tricolour the wrong way and she had desicrated it with blurb.

    They might not have done so without the protest though. Scandalous to do it in the first place.

    It's the usual ploy, do a u-turn on some of the cuts and damp down the general protests.

    Yes he can tear it up. It's real simple: stop borrowing for a deficit position, and then tell them the way it actually is: theres no money in the account, and it's cut pay AND cut numbers. Numbers of Admin staff to get the axe, all increments stopped dead, everyone above 45k gets capped to 45k. Don't like it ? 100% cut, and there's the door. Time for CPA to get with real world.....like the rest of us.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    She's gasping? Not gasping to get her word in.

    Gasping to breath with the size of the chin on her.
