Am I the only one getting real pissed off about the lack of leadership, direction, or any ideas at all from this and other euro governments? I mean, here we all are, listening to people saying 'the economy is all about confidence' before they tell us all how deep the shit we're in already is and how many years we'll have to eat it for. Why oh why are we still listening and taking guidance from a global financial sector that got us in this f#cking mess in the first place??

We all know how hysterical the market is, someone farts in the middle east and the price of oil goes up, and the so-called financial experts are all eyeing each other to see who blinks first, because, people, they haven't got a ****ing clue.
What we get are theory and hypothesis, guesswork and hopeful dreams, and 'we'll get through it if we all just tighten our belts for the foreseeable future'.

Bollocks. And don't think it matters whether you vote yes or no in the referendum. It's about time people started to wake up to the fact that we need to take the power away from the rich few who know all about manipulating markets but very little else. You can't manipulate markets when people can't spend. You can't sell sell sell when people don't buy buy buy.

We are in the unfortunate position of having policy dictated to us by a conservative, unimaginative lot of people who take direction from people with even less vision. They don't know where they're going and they want to take us all with them. Fuck that.
Cancel all debts, put people first and start over.

Capitalism has filtered down and become so ingrained in society on every level now anyways that it's irreversable. you can see it in the charts n everything where greed is cool its disturbingly different to the utter selflessness of the previous century, seems there's a general un-consciousness any chance of a live aid or tibetan freedom benefit these days, inspired by anger at plights abroad no too busy inspiring financial or sexual self success by grubby means if not merely here to party. but funny how ultimately we sold our souls to go on the dole

This is way more fun than talking about our government.

You should organise Jubilee 2012 Johnro.

Maybe the third world will repay the favour we did 'em back in 2000.

ToddyDoody

Apparently economic suffering will make the country more cost effective and more efficient / competitive. Thats how the germans do business, i'm led to believe. In true german style, 'try not to take it personally'.

Cancel debts you say. So you won't mind losing all your deposits in bank accounts.

The fact of the matter is we are spending more thn taking in. Cuts need to be made, taxes need to be raised, it's simple arithmetic.

It's not our debt.

Hi Johro,

No, you are not the only one. I agree with you 100%. The first thing that those in power should have done, was to invest the money to get people all over europe back to work and then they could fight over who owes what to merkozy. That is all it comes down to-greed and thats what brought this and other countries to their knees. Yes, I feel exactly the same as you and all that we can hope is that some of the dopes that run europe will eventually listen to those that know what they are talking about.

Hi Johro,

I think we are going to need something stronger than tea now that 60% of half of all the potential irish citizens voted the way they did.
Perhaps we should start getting used to german beer, I believe thats not too dear.

Far too much democracy with too many voting because they like the way he/she talks
. The People in Leinster House are like ourselves and that's why we vote for them . They resonate correctly and bertie had that "i'm one of youz " way about him.....so now you understand that politics is about making people feel good with reason in second place .That's all folks ! We need a good long hard look at ourselves ...
