So we have edifice with his 'what about Bertie...what about FF' posts, and The Guillotine Party railing against 'snotty nosed brats' posting here.
Will anyone actually step up to the plate and deal with the law and proposed changes instead of ratcheting up the invective and abuse and posting bluster?
Having a go at Bertie Ahern or alleging the current Government is corrupt does not add anything to the issue, in fairness when one thinks of the decades of case law, the Constitution, the legislation (with the exception of the 2009 Reform Act which ironically brought in a loophole that Justice Dunne has interpreted against banks) there is one thing we cannot accuse either of and that is legislative change to favour the banks in repossessions.
True, and he should get an arse kicking for being so clueless about the specific powers he has and the basis for same. It looked bad.
But the place for making arguments is in a courthouse. Not on the side of the road. The courts have shown no propensity for supporting the banks in such applications, and the Master of the High Court has been particularly favourable towards mortgagors and very receptive of challenges. We have one of the lowest rates of repossessions in the western world, far lower than our nearest neighbours, contrary to urban myth and hot air and the whatabouttery favoured by edifice and co.
Of course it is far easier to rant about 'snotty nosed brats' here than argue the merits of this or similar cases.
To hell with the courts. To hell with the judges and solicitors. To hell with the sheriffs, the bankers and the corrupt politicians. This issue will have to be settled on the side of the road. It's time to hit the reset button in this country and bring about a truly just, democratic Second Republic in which these parasites have no place.
At least you have the honesty to say that you advocate paralegal routes.
I do not agree with that.
We all like to see the bank get a bloody nose, but it has to be within the law. What next, burning houses to stop the banks repossessing? What about creditors enforcing judgement mortgages?
The way I see it right now, the country is being gang raped by the banks. Our national assets are being stripped in a fire sale, and democracy is being strangled by the EU. We're in a desperate situation. It's bigger than the mortgage problem, but issues such as the mortgage crisis and the household charge can get people out on the streets to reclaim the power to govern themselves. Democracy is meant to be rule of the people, by the people for the people. We've lost our democracy to corporate interests and we can only take it back through direct action.
