Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Lads you have the right attitude. You should come over to Ireland and help us take our country back.
add up to winter closing on increasing homelessness, oversupply of empty houses, and the storm hasn't started yet.
We'll have to take it back ourselves, Claire, otherwise we will never learn how to keep it for the next generation. We'll stay in the colonised mindset of infantile expectation for some external rescue. Result? Gratitude for IMF/ECB intervention in our(externally organised)incompetence.
Time for a pilot project in solidarity with the have-nothings. Time for the bottom-up solution. Top-down is their dictation. Maybe a Christmas campaign to clear the streets.....into the empty houses WE OWN and our kids will stil be paying for so the parasites can have five houses.
Step 1. Identify estates owned by some of the main culprits.
Step 2. Get tradesmen to connect services and get the homeless under cover.
Step 3. Watch the authorities and media try to identify it all as anarchist threat to economic stability(ha ha ha).
Or will we do the Irish on it and keep fighting for our own little corner; students, pensioners, workers, disemployed, divided against each other in the capital war of all agin all for our own sectional interests?
If we are to change it to a smarter economy it will have to start with the derelict, not the relatively poorer than the relatively richer.
More power to you, Opus! I wholeheartedly support your proposal. Your priorities match your logic.
and while I'm ranting, a lot of those on the street are the mentally destroyed victims of years of incarceration and institutionalisation at the hands of our Holy Roman church, who have some sort of 'apostolic mission' over at the minute to rearrange the window dressing and get the flock back into their slipping clutches.
Others are eastern europeans and 'illegal' economic migrants driven here by the predations of our globalised economic vacuum. Our own kids will soon be in the same boat, so we better make sure the world fucking knows any racist bigot who shouts them down and calls for their removal from the country now that it no longer suits our suits to expand the cheap labour pool will be seen off. The powers that be are scrambling around desperately to find a scapegoat to distract those frightened from the consequences of their financial crimes. They are well prepared for the collapse they have engineered, so take the long view. Look more to 2116 than 2016. Its going to be a long campaign. If you cant see the next generation, get a different bus.
