    I had a day off today so I lay in bed till 11.30 before I sat on my arse in a lovely warm sitting room watching the Boardwalk Empire box set. Am I a patriot?

    If someone who is working and not receiving any DSP payments cannot afford €3 a week, they need to have a long hard look at what they're spending each week.

    Pictures from the last march in my local area a few weeks ago showed two women with the standard we can't afford to pay spiel sign. Both had cigarettes in their mouths at the time and I know one of them who reckons she smokes 40 a day. She can afford €20 each and every day for cigarettes but €3 a week is gonna break her. Ummm, ok then so. (Obv this isn't the reason why everyone reckons they can't pay but it made me smile when I saw the pic).

    Mortgage/rent. Childcare. Travel to work costs.
    At one stage I had to work part time at the weekend relying on family to babysit in order to have enough to pay childcare for my weekday 9-5 job and enough for everything else on top. If I didn't have the second job I wouldn't have had enough to survive. I'd either have to give up my full time job or be in a constant overdraft.

    Does that make me a traitor for going to work, paying taxes to improve the country? :rolleyes:

    I worked and protested to pay taxes to improve the country (which seems to be dis-improving instead) as did many. Whats your point?:rolleyes:

    Can I ask why you have so much disdain towards today's protest and protesters? I take it from your posts that you will be paying the water charge and that's your right to do so. Whatever the outcome of today you will still plan on paying it, so why waste so much time posting about it?
    he doesn't like protesters, striking workers, or anyone who stands up for themselves or tries to stand up for themselves

    There's a lot of people there who just went for a look I'd say. Lots of teenage girls in full makeup. Bit like going to a GAA homecoming.

    Thanks for the live link though. A lot of Sinn Féin posters around the place. "Sligo says no" contingent were full of them.

    Post stinks as a sad, sad, desperate piece of work.

    Let it go.

    Why are you wishing for someone to be hit by a 4x4 and sent to the hospital?

    General numbers coming in now estimating 30k - 60k protestors. Pretty good numbers on the face of it, but looking overall like this has been a bit smaller than the protests on 11th October.

    Which, considering the hype about "huge" protests on 10th December and the alleged anger in the population, would indicate that the anti-charges campaign is losing momentum; either people are placated by the changes introduced or they're becoming jaded by the whole thing.

    Nothing for the government to worry about there today, they'll hold steady. Smaller protest and a big group of idiots have managed to piss off half a million commuters. The anti-charges movement has lost this battle today.

    Why are they blocking traffic? Why do they do this every fcuking time? It's just wrecking any goodwill on the part of the general public towards their own protest.

    Why go out of your way to annoy ordinary Joe Soaps just trying to get around? What's the objective?

    Brings my fcuking piss to a boil
    nobody cares, get over it, protests cause disruption, go another way

    You see that is what has in this fooking mess in the first place.

    The politicans gave a big chunk of the people exactly what they wanted.
    Huge increase in public spending, huge increase in public sector wages based on what some earned in bubble industries, huge increase in social welfare to lazy fookwits who couldn't or rather wouldn't work in the country where thousands of immigrants were coming in to work, all the while giving decreases in taxes.

    I have to laugh when you hear people complain that fianna fail should not have acted populist, listening to the people who wanted more and done what was best for the country, and now the current crowd are being told to do exactly what fianna fail did and become populist.

    If those that are 'reasonable' still believe this government should be in power then Enda has nothing to worry about as voters will make the correct decision.

    This is a democracy after all and if the majority don't believe their government is doing it's job then what do you think should happen?

    The majority in Greece probably believes the government are doing a bad job and should reverse the austerity and the cuts.
    The thing is the people that lend them the money don't and will tell any new government who stop the cuts to bugger off and find the money in their magic money trees.
