Cowen may be saying it but he isn't putting it into practice. Baino ~ the opposition .... God help us if they get into power ....based on their unrelenting crappy rhetoric I wouldn't hold out much hope for our future under their watch. The only guy who seems to make any impression on me is Eamon Gilmore of the Labour Party but given a sniff of power he could lose the run of himself too. TC ~ I sympathise with your precarious position. I realise that the private sector isn't just banking but it permeates all forms of business. If the banks fuck up the rest get fucked up too. There isn't any easy solution but we need a PLAN .... you hear that Biffo?? ... repeat after me .... A PLAN! And the plan needs the support of all. So treat ALL fairly Biffo and get on with it or ship out! dave ~ regardless of Cowen saying it, I truly believe that we need to unite if we are to see good times again.

My CEO told us that our current funding runs out in April. We have several good leads on additional funding, but none are in the bag. So come April I could find myself unemployed. Generalisations on both sides of the public private fence are the things that drive the wedge home. I agree with your points, just bear in mind the private sector is not exclusively banking.

Sounds like you need a decent opposing political party. I'm not sure what your system is, I assume it's based on the Westminster system where a 'senate' or house of reps has to pass laws? If so, you need opposition representatino there. Strong opposition . .where are they? Who are they? I can't understand the apathy that seems to have overtaken Ireland in the last 2 years . . I hear people complain, I see the disatisfaction, even the younglings are looking for sunnier climes with less doom and gloom . .strike. . .can you imagine what would happen if the entire public service shut down for just one day! You're so right. It's incredibly unfair, I don't know why others can't see it and support you more rigorously. Now go to bed, you need a clear head and your beauty sleep!

' is what worries me, these are the keywords that Cowen, Harney and the the green croonies will use to their own advantage in press releases in the next few weeks. Revolt should be the main keyword, we have voted the current FF government in, not in the form that they have taken but we gave them that power to choose their own format. Personally. I hate the PD's, love the idea of the Greens but with what the Greens have lacked to do in the power they have been given, I could never vote for them again in their current format. The banks being bailed out is just another kick in the face, for years we have been listening to RTE news listing the billions AIB, BOI and so on are making in profits in previous years and as soon as what they have been pushing big time (property, pensions) turns bad for them we are all expected to bail them out... F**k them, they have raped our counrty. We do need them badly but we also need them to be regulated before another cent is paid into them. So, after that rant, I'd move your 'The biggest cull of all' to the first thing to be done. A change of government is badly needed, a governemnt that wont only blame the current world climate but take responsibility for what has been done and hold their hands up is what is needed. In the last week I have heard a US & AUS president saying we have fucked up in the past, when will an Irish governement say that and an Irish public stop worshiping a statue of CH... the sooner the better... If nothing changes, we need to revolt & take control of Dail Eireann ourselves pretty soon... Paddy, another great post but the line:
