OscailtThey didn’t share the wealth - Why should we share the pain?There is no money left in Ireland. At least that’s what you might think after listening to Brian Cowen, Enda Kenny, IBEC and the parade of capitalist economists and pundits who parrot this nonsense. Yes, we are heading into a deep recession and guess who is expected to pay the cost?
Breaking news: Italian MP, Sgarbi denounces the Statistical Fraud on COVID-19. The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies.

I can't imagine there's much time left for Fianna Fáil.<br />
<br />
It's quite a Freudian slip, that when you want to go to Fianna Fáil's website, you have to type in Fianna<strong>Fail</strong>.ie - fail indeed. Goodbye, Fianna Fail.<br />

We need to educate to formulate a calculation for the loss<br />
Corruption beyond comparison a perception of the cost <br />
The wasted Celtic Tiger years a complacent slippery trail<br />
The politics of backhand Jim the birth of Fianna fail<br />
<br />
We need freedom from the bigots a state without a church<br />
Equal shares amongst us all let no man stand in lurch<br />
The ideals of the proclamation written in widows tears<br />
Those dreams and aspirations ignored for all those years<br />
<br />
We need honesty to understand integrity to trust<br />
Transparency of bureaucracy laws for fair and just<br />
The strength to grow organically take pride in ancestral guile<br />
Forget the bulls of Lisbon We are the Emerald Isle <br />
<br />
We need to speculate to accumulate some sense from Leinster house<br />
The traps have failed the cupboards bare no crumbs left for the mouse<br />
A helicopter trip for the party whip cannot beat them into line<br />
Their course has run their day has come their failures marked in time<br />
<br />
We need equity in entity a voice with choice explained<br />
No more the fault of lame excuse or global pressures blamed<br />
For tightened belts or bank bail outs indeed these times are hard<br />
No justification for their ignorance or denial of medical card<br />
<br />
We need answers now and solutions quick before the sun goes down<br />
Where have all the credits gone, from the growth years Mr Cowen?<br />
On flights to those exotic places with Saint Patrick upon your back<br />
Enjoy the trip this one last time for your surely for the sack!..<br />
<br />
We need accountable Dail Eirean a move to get things done<br />
A change of heart and sentiment from Bantry to Ballymun <br />
The renewal of our heritage a centre from Athlone <br />
From the inward out to the out within our ancestral spirit home<br />

A very good poster at that, but where are all the other left groups' posters? The employers and the state do indeed intend to impose a defeat ,but the depth of the current financial crisis means that it will have to be a much worse defeat than anything that Thatcher imposed on Britain in the eighties . The idea of class struggle will sound less and less old-fashioned as this year goes on - whether people like it or not .Finnegans wake up callhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/91285#comment2482292009-03-23T20:05:28+00:00Silas MarnerOLD Ratso ''Reposess your home if you cant make the interest payments Michael Fi...OLD Ratso ''Reposess your home if you cant make the interest payments Michael Finnegan'' is accused of legging it with 8ml euro '<br />
