What a calculating, pathetic, attention-seeking little prick Paul Gogarty is.
Fuck you, Deputy Stagg. Fuck you! Oh, wait, sorry, I take it back. Sorry.
If Gogarty had any balls, he'd be saying Fuck you Cowen, and fuck you Lenihan, and fuck you Ahern and fuck you McCreevy for destroying the economy, lining your crooked banker pals' pockets and making poor people carry the cost.
But no. He said Fuck you to somebody who pointed out what a spineless prick he is to be supporting this budget while the billionaires walk away laughing.
Paul Gogarty, Fuck You!! And I won't be taking it back.
______________
We wrote to Paul Gogarty saying this:
Why didn't you say Fuck you Brian Cowen? Or Fuck you, Bertie Ahern? Or Fuck you Charlie McCreevy?
Why didn't you direct your invective at the people who caused the problem?
—
He replied:
They weren't in the chamber at the time?
—
We replied:
But you said Fuck You to somebody who didn't cause the problem. When Cowen or Ahern appear in public, with cameras present, will you also say Fuck You to them?
—
Folowing further investigation, we wrote as follows:
Having checked the Dail record, it appears that Lenihan and Cowen were in fact present. Therefore, it would have been possible to say Fuck You to both Cowen and Lenihan.
—
Paul answered:
I pointed out that FF caused the mess along with bankers, developers and also FG and Labour Councillors who rezoned left right and centre on flood plains and made people millionaires overnight… Labour are not immune if you look at their rezoning record.
—
And we replied:
It's true that all those parties disgracefully voted for rezoning , but flooding didn't cause the welfare cuts. Thievery did. And as it turns out, contrary to your assertion, both Cowen and Lenihan actually were in the chamber. So why didn't you say Fuck You to them for the cronyism and corruption of Fianna Fail that bankrupted the country?
—
When Paul comes back – IF Paul comes back, you'll be the first to know.
Bock well said Sir. The lickspittle Greens it seems are willing to accept anything their F.F. masters are willing to inflict on Ireland. In return they get water charges, carbon tax and any other madcap way they can screw up a dead horse. The populace it seems are also willing recipients of pain. All the “Vox pops” are cheering the Government. What a sad little state we have become.
Agreed!
So who can you vote for?
Fianna Fail – bank-brown-nosers, church-kow-tow-ers and all round no-good, dirty rats
Fine Gael – right wing – more natural affinity for the needs of markets than citizens, which basically leads down the same road FF has taken, only with somewhat less sympathy and more superciliousness towards the voter
Labour – absolutely no understanding of us rural dwellers, and no persuasive rural candidates
Greens – too willing to get mucky with FF, also really no understanding of rural dwellers, and moreover, hellbent on wiping out our right to live in the country – which is odd when you think about it – we have the most to lose from a degraded environment, and the most to gain from conserving it.
Sinn Fein- still too much of the "loose lips sink ships" mentality – still too many bodies buried, too many secrets never to be told.
I always vote – if I didn't I wouldn't feel I had the right to complain about the results – but deciding between one bunch of wreckers and the next would drive anyone to despair. Why doesn't politics ever attract someone you'd really love to vote for?
Soctlyn . That is truly the sixty four million dollar question or should that be billion now? As I understand it F.F. want to lose the next election, allowing them to get rid of Biffo and F.G. and Lab. Will strip what is left of the Republic to pay the bank debt. Then at the following election F.F. will romp home with a massive landslide victory , even if they put their pet dog up as a candidate. I must disagree on your view of the Labour party. Although not a member of any party, I am of the opinion that Lab. Realise the problems we all face. The rather sad ping pong match we have had since the inception of modern Ireland between F.F. and F.G. does need to change .
Well said, Bock.
You have described it exactly right.
If Paul Gogarty disagrees with the budget, then he should not vote for it.
Even the catholic church allow people to follow their conscience, or so they say!
Do the Greens?
If Gogarty disagrees withh FF, he shouldn't be in bed with them.
The Greens have sold their souls to FF to keep their few minutes of power.
Paul Gogarty has gone against his own beliefs and conscience to stay in the Dáil.
It won't be for long!
Go away, Paul, and take those FFers with you.
When the fuck will you lot realise that the Dail is simply a debating society club house for fat fucking bastards who are sucking up fat salaries and expenses without the slighest intent of giving value to tax payers or seriously challenging the glaring mistakes of thier mate on the other side. It is like this, "rock the boat lads, but not too much". When have these fuckers ever not voted an increase in salaries or expenses for themselves and thier mates.
Politics, in southern Ireland is a theatrical production. The Dail is the stage and the actors are all politicians. This is a kartel, a dictatorship, Irish style. Wake up people, you have been had and are still being had, shafted up the butt, SCREWED sideways and royaly at that and it is staring you in the face, shouting at you. Ah fuck it, if you cant see it then you deserve it. And that is what these fuckers know and exploit. Learn to fuck them back.
Well said, it was very obvious that it was a contrived act, to show Paul's pain at the cuts and also act as a big news story for the week and distract people away from the budget cut. With all disrespect Paul but Fuck you and Fuck your traitorous Govt.
Manners!
What a profound and insightful contribution. The sort of thought Ireland requires to get back on track.

Yes, the Labour party is the "least worst" of the lot right now, and I have a very soft spot for Joan Burton. But Eamonn Gilmore has twice really riled my feathers.
1) During the Lisbon campaign he kept going on about people "without a mandate" getting stuck into the "no" campaign (who else was there) – the implication being that elected persons (us with a mandate) are the only people entitled to speak to national issues and once you vote us in, youse should all shut up until the next election. My view is we should vote for them and then never give them a moment's opportunity to forget they represent us, and they need us to tell them how they should represent us – which they did not do when we asked them to via Lisbon I (and Lisbon II here in Donegal).
2) Mr Gilmore spoke here in Donegal at the MacGill Summer School, and told a bunch of country people that his first priority for quango cutting would be the department of rural affairs. And then ran away before anyone could ask any decent questions (admittedly in this second offense he was joined by Brian Lenihan and George Lee.).
But everyone up there in Donegal is some kind of rabid bible-thumping SPUC maniac anyway.
Scotly the points you make are very valid. The majority of our T.D‘.s are “Val Falvey” types ,thick as two brick walls. Most of the time they spend in Leinster house is in the bar. I campaigned against Lisbon. I want rural Ireland to thrive and prosper because I want to eat Irish butter, cheese, meat etc. the current leaders are not the Party. There seem to be little to choose between F.F. and F.G. except F.G. seem to be more to the right wing. F.F. will sail with the prevailing wind as they see it. The Greens will almost certainly go at the next election. We need a change the only option left is Labour. They may well screw up but we can not go much further down the tube than the bottom. I am of the opinion we are almost there at the moment. O do buy some candles a lot of candles you will almost certainly need them.
Well said Bock. When I seen the clip on the internet I was intrigued to what was said before he flipped. After finally reading the whole of the debate I can see the man is an idiot.
