offsite link Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

Sack all CIE so-called 'workers' on their no fares day this Friday the 18TH

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Tuesday July 15, 2003 17:31author by King Mob Report this post to the editors

Time to get tough with these commie unions

If the CIE (Cycling Is Easier) 'workers' proceed with their illegal no fares day this Friday the 18TH, then the management of CIE should keep it's botle and do what it has threatened to do, namely sack all of the so-called 'workers' in CIE on the spot. The same also applies to the rest of the dossing, lazy over-paid 'workers' in the rest of the semi-states such as Aer Rianta, ESB, An Post and the rest if they hold to their threats to hold us hard working taxpayers to ransom in pursuit of their outdated marxist dogma. Bloody commie unions, they should be banned and all strikes made illegal. That way we will never, ever again ever be held to ransom by them.

provided a safe home for Cornwallis, the less the Dubs say about '98 the better. The Loyalist Dus are what kept the English in power in Ireland.

Humbert tripled his few boatloads of frogs with brave Mayo pikemen BTW.

Well Shauneen, my boy, 1798 was a long time ago now wasn't it ...

And if I recall correctly the forelock tugging peasantry of Mayo wouldn't have got very far if it hadn't been for some continental European leadership ...

I think the Races of Castlebar may have been more due to General Humbert and his men than to the sheep-shaggers from the bogs of Mayo ...

You're foaming at the mouth there son. As for comparing a filthy rabble like you lot to Michael Davitt.... it's beneath contempt.

Another thing, 1798, Races of Castlebar.

Or what about the grant-scabbing parasites like Mr. Shauneen and his ilk ..... from the bogs of North Mayo he pours his scorn and derision on the "men of no property" trying to assert themselves, all the while suckling on the tit of mother state and getting his "money for nathing" ......

Well Mr. Shauneen I hope that your ancestors were the property respecting type paying every last penny of rent due to the absentee landlord and spending their free time in the sheeben blackmouthing that "commie bastard" Michael Davitt ...... I note that Co. Mayo is not noted for its contribution to the struggle for independence ... not much action there during the Tan War .... (apart from a few sheep being raped ....)

But then again you're a product of your environment and can't help being what you are .... namely, the worst type of reactionary redneck scumbag ....

Don't worry the days of you and your poor mouth ilk are numbered mr. shauneen .....
Now that the EU enlargement is pushing ahead (I hope you did what Peter Sutherland told you and voted for Nice I and II), it won't be long before ye start feeling the heat of "globalisation" as the Brussels bureaucrats start cutting off yeer oxygen supply ....

And no use running to P. Flynn and the EffEffers to save ye ..... those boys have ye sold down the Swannee a long time ago .........
PeeWee is too busy keeping up with the payments for his three houses to be worried about poor f**kers like you .......

And given your own loudly pronounced lack of social solidarity, you needn't expect too much sympathy from elsewhere either as the Brussels Grand Plan for rural depopulation finally kicks into play .......

Those whom king mob berates, or those who dodged (and probably still dodging) tax on a massive scale - the Charles Haugheys of this world.

Tax evasion cost the country far, FAR more than social welfare fraud. Fact.

I just realised that this free fares day is exactly that - a free fares day! Now I know CIE have asked people not to take advantage of it, but I think I'm going to take a day trip to Wicklow or maybe even further afield.

Nice one CIE workers! The services keep running, but you're hitting the employers in the pocket. A much better tactic than the strike - strikes sometimes piss people off when they cant get to work or whatever.

Hopefully in the future we can see this tactic being adopted by other groups - so free food from striking ALDI workers, free flights from Airport workers, free books and music from shop workers... its all making perfect sense now.

Sure don't those corporations all have our own interests at heart?

author by Curleypublication date Wed Jul 16, 2003 11:20author address author phone Report this post to the editors

as opposed to all those lovely corporations who have had their tax bills cut by over 960 million euros over the last two years, and are still shifting money out of the country at such a rate that the GNP(the amount produced in the country) can go up by 7% while the GDP(the wealth per person in the country) was the worst growth rate in 20 years, less than 1%.

And how about those tax exiles who decide to live outside the country to avoid taxes. They aren't trying to screw the ordainary taxpayer at all.

And those offshoreaccount holders, if they payed their taxes, you would have to pay less.

But no, it's those commies who are the cause of all your problems, isn't it?

Those fu**** unions nearly bankrupted the country in the '80s. Communsits, they don't give a toss about anyone while trying to fiddle as much money out of the state as they can.

I'm a SIPTU member, but almost nothing the SIPTU leadership does is in my interest. I was disgusted to see that SIPTU wants to maintain the crazy Shannon stopover, just to suit the under-worked Shannon "workers". I don't know how many hours I've wasted hanging around Shannon Airport when I didn't want to be there. How dare they force people to go somewhere they don't want to go ? And I stand fully behind the break-up of Aer Rianta. All that monopoly has done at Dublin is create a dirty, uncomfortable, expensive, inefficient airport, the worst of any European capital city.

You shove a bit of criticism around and people decide to blacken your name.

It's worth noting that my usual response to such gibberish is that it makes you wonder, people on the left with the high moral ground, will resort to impersonating you to slander you, if you piss them off online. Makes you wonder what they'd do to people that they don't like if they had any real power.

takin their holidays from school,when there is coal to be mined and sweat to be shopped.

fuck sake.

I think the no fares day idea is an absolutely fantastic idea. it is punishing the company who they have the dispute with, not the passengers. their action cannot be ignored until it goes away (the main strategy pursued by the government on all workers dispute in the last few years)
Still, they will probably pursue strategy number 2.. lie to the workers and then put off fulfilling those promises for years until they can think of an excuse not to go through with them
