"There will be no cutbacks secret or otherwise"

[the-analyst2007]

Howz about a thread on pure lies by politicians?

Like:

"There will be no cutbacks secret or otherwise"(FF, 2002)

and

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"(Bill Clinton, 1998)

or what about

"The Mahon Tribunal will cost over €1 Billion Euro"(McDowell, 2007)





Anyone else have quotes from 110% lies by politicans?

How bout the huge scandal that rocked Ireland like a fart in a wind storm.

In 2005 Tony Dempsey admitted he had shares in Tweedswood. This was printed in Village Magazine in its 13-19 May 2005 edition. However on May 16 of the same year, the Wexford People published a different perspective on this. I’ll quote the full article here as it’s a short one – it was to be found on page two:
‘Dempsey’s shares portfolio revealed – DEPUTY Tony Dempsey has shares in a diverse list of companies, ranging from building societies to exploration firms, according to “The Village” magazine.
In a list of politicians with shares, the magazine says the Wexford deputy has a stake in Providence (exploration), Eircom, Arcon (exploration), Irish Permanent, First Active, Norwich Union and Tweedswood Developments/Construction.
“The last one is wrong, the rest are correct,” said Deputy Dempsey. “As a TD you have to declare all your shareholding, all your financial interests, and I have declared mine,” said Deputy Dempsey.’

As can be seen Dempsey (FF) has been lying from day one.
