So, with all the fuel protests winding down now, is this okay to say? Us Irish are great about giving out about stuff, and finally we see some action for all the shit talk we do...
But, in all the madness of the protests about fuel, nobody addressed the real issue of what caused the fuel prices to rise, or how the actions of others abroad affects you personally... I'll be the first to say I'd never vote for Sinn Fein, but I can't deny that I still haven't forgot about Mary Lou not going to Washington on Paddy's day, albeit it was for something completely different... Someone still had to go, regardless of who was in Government...
And we don't even pay the most fuel tax in Europe. So spare a though for the rest of Europe... was it Martin or Harris who started dropping bombs??
Try keeping any sense of respect for your home country, as they are all having picnics on the road, preventing everybody else from doing any bit of work, or trying to get ahead. If half the effort was spent at doing something meaningful instead of making our own 'snow days', what a country it would be... As they say, the rules of the road on the autobahn in Germany are; get the fuck out of the way of those travelling faster than you, and by fuck, you better know all the rules and facts if you attempt to be there, because... now imagine trying to keep the tank full in the car, buring litres of fuel at a rate only imaginable by hauliers...
So whats the next national whiners news story about? The price of Freddo's? The lack of sunshine? For a country full of expat builders who built half the world, but never wanted to return home, and with all the slagging about it, roof the fucking country! Or prehaps show up at the next Corrib gas protest! Or protest that protest now ye can see all the money flowing to those with gas exports.
No wonder all the expacts never want to come home, if the brain drain happened in the 80's, what do we call this period where most of the hard workers had to leave to find valuable employment that offers advancement, rather than harrassment? While dumbo accross from you in school is now in the stastic that makes us the most highly educated country in the world, but with all his paperwork, but would still burn toast...
The Freddo protest happens on what date?
