I'm terrible prejudiced but there was something very odd about hearing the plummy accent talking about "screws" and "Brits". Sounded like she was "playing" the terrorist to piss daddy off.

The geriatrics will be out in force again today. In fairness to them, they're some group to mobilise themselves. (i.e. moan, complain and whinge to Joe.)

Bingo shouts for:

"I've been paying tax for 40 years"

"Its a disgrace Joe"

"I know petal"....

I'm dreading today I've visions of my Nana ringing in, my grandparents are minted and yet she got as far as a producer the last time they marched over the medical card, my granddad was mortified and trying to get the phone off her!

It's not the bankers or politicians I blame for the economic crisis... Bloody pensioners *shakes fist*...

Lads, it was announced last week that we now have a deficit of 24 Billion... That was after we "implemented austerity measures" to fill the 18 Billion hole that was in the Exchequer accounts... Does anybody really believe that we not on the road to default.. ?

That_Guy

What objective broadcasting has Sir Joseph got in store for us today?

AngryBollix

Suck it up missus.

P.S stop biting your tongue and talking about tax

Skid

Any chance of a Pensioner ringing in to say

"Well Joe, it's disappointing, but it appears as if we have underpaying tax for years, so I'm grateful that the Revenue are not seeking payment for previous years. I'm quite well off so It's only fair that I do my part"

No. We are screwed.

These austerity measures will be a walk in the park compared to how badly we will be f*cked in the ass in future budgets

JONJO THE MISER

Id say this yoke has plenty of money.

A woman interviewed during a VoxPop on "News at One" was actually saying something very similar.

Joe's researchers have been told not to leave her on

AngryBollix

I wouldnt be worrying if i were them

They'll be dead soon

Poor unfortunate husband - that's the first sensible things she's said in 7 minutes.

kevmol88

Paddy O'Gorman was on Pat Kenny this morning doing a vox pop from (I think) Rathmines P.O. Most people were happy to pay it, it was also pointed out that over 75% of people will pay nothing.

Any chance of this showing up on Duffy ? I doubt it.

jetfiremuck

The gov have now managed to get at the grey haired section of our community. Once this whole system is enacted the old age pensioners are on the ropes. Doomed I say

europa11

This wan will have no problem. Imagine her walking into the Revenue Commissioners and bending some poor f*ckers ear for an hour.

Probably come out with a Tax Rebate.

That_Guy

"Did they say, I hope you're well and happy 2012?"

Oh Joe, your silly questioning is beyond ridiculous at this stage.

IvyTheTerrible

Really annoying that people are complaining about the wording of the letter. I mean, it's a letter being sent to 100000 people, do they really want resources wasted on personalising them?

AngryBollix

Dear Oul One\Oul Fella,

We hope youre well

Pay me what you f*cking owe me immediately

Yours Sincerely

Jimmy The Taxman

Glebee

Whats going to happen when poor Ireland has no money to pay any pensions

Bertiebasher

it is is not 115k folk Joe is an INDO/FF hack, the communication from ROC should/could have been better, but this is going to effect around 20% pensioners and IMO rightly so. on couple in indo complaining about losing 50e a wk of their 950e a wk pension

SEPT 23 1989

Is this lad on 50,000 a year pension

did i hear that right?

That_Guy

"I think we're on the Titanic"

syklops

Talking sense on liveline.

Doesn't he know your not meant to do that!

europa11

Judges pay is paid by "you" sez Man-o'-da-peeple Joe.........while you're at it, so are the inflated salaries of part time broadcasters like yourself, Tubs and Marzie.

neris

JonathanAnon

All the "I've been paying it all along, I'm a great lad" callers on now..

europa11

Bad line coming up here.

GetWithIt

Guaranteed someone calls out that old boy for letting Revenue know about the issue.
