The PD's legacy

[FakeViking]

Morning Ireland today carried a glowing tribute to the Nonsense Party following the distribution of their archives to a yellow skip on Merrion Row.

Harney claimed that the great Health Service (that she worked so hard on destroying) was the reason why Dessie O'Malley was still alive.

The PD's were solely responsible for 'sorting out' P Flynn and Ray Burke. Some humility is called for here: Burke did a short jail term for not filling in his tax returns, he was never charged with corruption, even after the Flood Tribunal report made that clear. P has never been charged. No mention (of course) of CJH or Ahern. Haughey's case was dismissed after a very carefully timed interview in the IT with (guess who) Mary Harney. Some 'sorting out' there. Ahern has yet to face the courts, he'll find it hard to hide behind his secretary, and I doubt that a judge will accept that he won briefcases full of foreign cash from non-residents on a horse.

And of course there was no mention in the flowing tribute of the true legacy of the PD's: a generation paying off the debts that FF have inflicted on my country because they were so brain-dead they allowed parasites like Harney, Parlon and McCreevey dictate policies without debate or discussion.

Dreadful bunch of fanatics and hypocrites.

Fear not, within a year both they and FF will be finally consigned to history, and their names will be reviled for generations hence.

I don think PDs waste their time on boards like this. Political no-hopers, with a bunch of keyboard warriors, with crap opinions, which dont relate to reality at all.

A party in a similar vein to the PDs 1985-2001 is just what the country needs right now. McCreevy's biggest ******************** up was not his low tax model, but the fact that it was acompanied by stupidly high spending. You dont spend what you dont have.

In time the PDs real legacy will be that they moved haughey's brown envelope corruption to a new phase, when corruption went professional. That and the fact that a party that mostly consisted of people who were handed their seats, and never worked in the real world went off and finished the Irish economy for a generation. Lazy idealogues.

Well, you got that right.

The PDs legacy is clearly an improvement in grammar and spelling in Ireland. It has improved to the point where now no-one would refer to them as the PD's rather than the PDs.

You don't get it, the explosion in white collar crime could not have happened if it was not faciliated by the PDs. They are a dishonest party of shysters and selfish hacks.

But that's the problem - their crucial failures, errors & misdeeds occurred since 2000.
They grafted their selves unto Ahern's hip at some point prior to this,
making it unclear if part, at least, of their problem was one of cross-contamination. But all their in-tandem actions since then make them culpable.

McDowell had the guts to bring about the citizenship referendum, without which we would now be swamped by African 'asylum seekers' and their dependents.

What was he called for instigating this ?

The usual - a 'Nazi', a 'Fascist' etc etc
