Well done FF!

Now that the "independent" Governor of the Central Bank leaked what was becoming more and more obvious, and that the genius that is Lenihan lite admits some banks need external help - we now know for sure that the IMF and EU are coming in, as well as the British media running riot against Ireland (HIGNFY tonight a case in point). I believe that now we should all accept FF and their paymasters as our eternal rulers as they:
a) not only prevented bloodshed in the streets
b) general questioning and revolt from their own people
c) a proper vote on loans etc.

By whipping the public up into a frenzy and offering all sorts of nonsense, everyone is too tired and bored to actually put up the fight that would have erupted had they told the truth, or a fraction of it 2-3 months ago. I've been sickened by the apathy of normally questioning people to what is happening, "ah sure, if it's not them it's someone else" is what I was told today by a man who not only canvassed for Joe Higgins and is a lifelong community activist and all round good guy, he just wants an end to the speculation.

So once again, well done FF, may you all boil in your own scummy spit.

Completely agree with every last iota of what you said.
Should anyone I know try defend anything that has played out in this country since 2007 I will physically assault them with a pencil and a cabbage and I will not at all have any remorse for doing so. Here here spud.

Sure they only did it for the laugh.

Oh no, don't get me wrong whilst what they've done since 1997 is reprehensible, I think the treachery and vandalism of the last 3 years is more worthy of discussion and consideration.

John Murray on Radio 1 just played Luke Kelly reciting "For What Died the Sons of Roisin" and it raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame?
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame?
For what flowed Ireland's blood in rivers,
That began when Brian chased the Dane,
And did not cease nor has not ceased,
With the brave sons of ´16,
For what Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame?

For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?
Was it greed that drove Wolfe Tone to a pauper's death in a cell of cold wet stone?
Will German, French or Dutch inscribe the epitaph of Emmet?
When we have sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it.
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed?

To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?
To those brave men who fought and died that Róisín live again with pride?
Her sons at home to work and sing,
Her youth to dance and make her valleys ring,
Or the faceless men who for Mark and Dollar,
Betray her to the highest bidder,
To whom do we owe our allegiance today?

For what suffer our patriots today?
For what suffer our patriots today?
They have a language problem, so they say,
How to write "No Trespass" must grieve their heart full sore,
We got rid of one strange language now we are faced with many, many more,
For what suffer our patriots today?

Any comment I could make today would be superfluous; those lines have anger enough.

Jesus, did you even read the whole of the first post?

A friend of mine posted something similar on FB this morning.
I shall be purchasing a cabbage later. Morons.

We should all club together to create a giant fireworks display or something:

YOUR OPINION IS WHY FIANNA FAIL ARE STILL IN POWER AND THE COUNTRY IS DESTROYED. YOUR OPINION IS DESTRUCTIVE AND RETARDED. PLEASE DON'T VOTE AGAIN, EVER.

Now now; it's just an opinion and I'm entitled to it like you're entitled to your opinion. Opinions can't be wrong. I don't call your opinion wrong.

WFT??

Stu's broken.

FF got to him. Watch out lads.
We could be next.

The UCD subforum will shortly be taken into NAMA to avoid contaminating the wider foot.ie system.

Sorry. It was a tongue in cheek reply to dahamsta from the person he was criticising. I think it's the kind of reply that you see too often these days - opinions can't be wrong no matter how stupid - and people who hold such an opinion should be shot. In my opinion. Which can't be wrong. :)

Good to see good humour can still show its head here though.

I thought the world had turned inside out there for a second. :)
