Jump To Comment: 3 2 1..is closet PD. She interviewed me back in the late eighties when I set up the Regressive Hypocrites to expose the PD Thatcherite agenda, but forgot to broadcast it when I failed to bend over for her authoritative barrage of questions and insisted she allow me answer one before dragging me into the next three simulaneously.

The guests on Sundays programme constituted a totally unbalanced panel
Colm McCarthy right wing Economist
Minister Killeen representing a government which caused the problem
Tom Parlon representing big builder who caused the problem
Niall Saul advocating wage cuts
A political Correspondent
Catherine Mcguinness a retired judge
On Saturday 1000 people attended Claiming Our Future Conference at RDS, with another thousand refused admittance. There wass no representative of this point of view on the programme
None of the panellists mentioned a tax on assets outside the principal private residence.
The 33,000 millionaires from 2006 still have 120 billion Euro.
How about some patriotism from them?
I will now make a complaint to the Broadcasting Commission.
