Re: Friday's rant
I'm not going to get started on that toss pot, but the simple fact is he created an atmosphere whereby if anyone in Ireland even wondered as to whether the road we were travelling on was as good as was being made out it was, they were told to go off and commit suicide. He set the stage, the motherfcuker should be in prison.TerenureJim wrote:Not defending his actions for one bit but he does have a point regarding the lack of investigative journalism that went on into how and why property prices were sky rocketing and how the banks especially Anglo were leveraging debt. Granted personal informaion re mortgages is hard to come by but everytime a Company was involved in taking a loan from a bank and a charge is secured a public filing is made in the Companies Registration Office, so for about €2 any journo worth his salt could have dug up some pretty interesting stuff at the height of the boom which probably would have put regulators and politicos on notice that something just wasn't right here.

Follow on question if I leave my job to run for political office, decide after a few months that I don't like it will I get a nice little parachute payout to "help me adjust" and then be able to go back to a very similar position with the same terms and conditions as I left with my employer?
Lee was on a "career break" from RTE.
Any civil servant wanting to stand for public office (even as an independent) would have to resign their position. There would be no prospect of going back to their old job.
Public servants like RTE's, teachers, HSE employees and local authority staff have no such restrictions.

1 Baboon, all shot in Ohio today. http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16092724
That would bring a tear to your eye, I don't blame the town sheriff, but the asshole who released them instead.
Would it have hurt to replace those bullets with tranquilizers though?

How could anyone who willingly shagged McGuirk have anyone's sympathies?

Henceforth, Mrs Blank has been informed of my refusal to pay the licence fee in protest at the circus that is our national broadcaster. An organisation that has squandered millions on the likes of Ryan, Byrne, Tubridy, Hook, Mcguirk & O'Callaghan to name but a few.

It could be long term but something might show up.
