Watching my country go down the tubes
Nov. 13th, 2010 07:10 pmHoly feck, Ireland is totally screwed isn't it?
Watched the Paxman interview with Brian Lenihan. Favourite moment (and a question no one in Ireland would ever dare to raise) was the bit where he said 'wouldn't your assertion [that Ireland will regain its financial health] be rather more plausible were this crisis not entirely a result of your own incompetence."
Sad fact: Cowen, Lenihan, Harney and the lot of them will retire on immense pensions and my sister will have her meagre wages cut further because everyone knows that the public sector is overpaid. Except for the politicians. You can't pay enough for the clowns we have! (Did you know out esteemed leader is paid more than the President of the US?)
