Could this be the end for Willie O’Dea? Could this be the end for Fianna Fáil’s government?



Irish Bank Guarantees

Feb 17th, 2009 | By Bock | Category: Crime, Favourites, banking, economy

Correct me if you think I’m wrong, but I believe that an agreement depends on both parties meeting their obligations.
Otherwise, it isn’t an agreement.
It now seems that the Irish government guaranteed a mind-boggling amount of money, €450 billion, on the basis of lies.  Anglo-Irish Bank falsified its accounts, and now it seems Bank of Ireland [...]



e-Griping

Feb 16th, 2009 | By Bock | Category: Bock rant, Politics

I was studying an ATM, trying to figure out how to type a message.
Fuck you Brian Goggin! Fuck you Seán Fitzpatrick! Fuck you, Eugene Sheehy! Fuck you, Fingers Fingleton!
I thought it might work. It would be very handy for people to vent their rage against this bunch of complete bastards who [...]



Fianna Fáil Support Collapses

Feb 13th, 2009 | By Bock | Category: Politics

Could it be that Ireland has finally woken up and seen through the flim-flam merchants?
Could it be that, at long last, our people have recognised the bullshit for what it is?  Have they finally understood that Fianna Fáil is nothing but a means of transferring dirty money from corrupt property developers to crooked politicians?

Bertie Ahern, Celia Larkin and the Loan

UPDATE
Do They Think We’re Idiots?
========================
Original post.
It certainly looks like an act of generosity, doesn’t it?
A kind-hearted politician takes pity on a staff member in trouble. The staff member’s two elderly aunts risk losing their rented home of sixty years, but just in the nick of time the politician arranges a loan of £30,000 to [...]



Fifty Reasons To Believe Fianna Fail Are A Bunch Of Fucking Crooks

Nov 13th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Bock rant, Scandal

Read them here: That’s Ireland.
And while you’re at it, read about National Digout Day here. It’s the 7th December, two days after our crooked government go back on their word and fail to give you the tax breaks they promised you. (That’s right, the same crooks who recently awarded themselves gigantic pay [...]



Forty Shades of Government

Jun 14th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Politics

I see Bertie has managed to cobble together a new coalition, with a very green tinge indeed.
You have the Greens, the Greens-With-Envy and the Folding Greens. These are supported by maniac independents like Jackie Healy-Rae, or as they’re known, the Wigs on the Green.
Of the three parties, the Greens are probably the greenest having [...]



Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

May 1st, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Favourites, Politics

OK. I can’t help it. Sorry. I just can’t help saying all this because the time is right and there’s an election coming up and it has to be said.
I know – all right? I know I’m repeating myself. I know I said all this yesterday, but there’s an election coming [...]
