Cute hoor politicians will stop at nothing to get their voices on the airwaves or their pictures in the paper. So on Monday, Galway’s newest mayor, local auctioneer Michael Crowe of Fianna Fail, felt no embarrassment in telling Galway Bay FM that he intended to be at the forefront of the anti-cuts demonstration today in the city. We all know the expression “shoot the crow”, but a new expression entered the political vocabulary when a lone protestor decided to “stalk the crowe”. Holding up high for all to see a placard that read: “F.F. ATTACK THE WEAK & BAIL OUT THE RICH”. |

Mayor Crowe, in brown suit and chain - behind d stalker
the reality of todays protest is depressing, which affects the lives of people with disabilities and their families, remember June 23. Mansion house, Cowan with IBEC 13,000 euro a dinner, wait until we see what the brainstormers of coalition have lined us up for in the next budget 2010. those of us who campaigned and voted no to oppose Lisbon. the bail outs to executives of the Financial institutions. our words are coming to bear witness.
while Dermot Desmond seannie stiff fingers property developers must be laughing. 452,000 882 people out of employment.
the Staggs in the parks must be smiling. then we have a few selected political appointess as directors of bodies of people with disabilites, political connected to Fine Gael have we forgotten that Labours member of the Dail, Liz Mc Manus husband. is one of the well payed medical personal coming from the medical card
who else are they going to political target. they have gone for youth, single people under 25. single parents, children allowance, threaths against people signing on investigations into SIPTU health department. people who are asylum seekers. read Emergency, book by Moore. into the analysis of privitization of health care
WAKE UP street action class political analysis action.
The man is lonely
Perhaps people should keep him company more often?
He is Lord Mayor after all, such people have lots of public appointments.
Lets keep him company there too.
Brass neck of the week award.
We were just saying the same thing. his face is never out of the paper since his "elevation" to Galway's first citizen. we should start a round-the-clock campaign to attend all the various functions he presides over.
You always expect as if you expect some different sort of behaviour.
