Well they’ve going to receive a 90 billion euro bail out from the EU, but on top of that both the Swedish & British governments have allocated extra contingency funds to sure up Irish banks. The British government are spinning this by saying its in our interest to bail out the Irish economy being as most British trade exports go to the Republic of Ireland, now it seems so do a sizable proportion of our taxes.

Have to admit I do pity the people of Ireland they’ve already had to endure eye watering government cuts & now as part of this deal there’s more on the way.

There was a sign up on the side of the road the other day that read the following:

Banksters - Wolves in Sheeps clothing,

They will chew you up and spit you out!

 

Apt much.
