    Why don't they propose her as their Leader altogethe? I am sure that Enda will have absolutely no objections! Eejits, with nothing better to do. Put them working in the sewers, I say.

    On the topic of similarities between FG and the tories, does anyone else find it interesting that both parties received exactly 36.1% of the vote from their respective electorates in the last elections?

    Drinks after as per usual!

    Hope to see everyone Wednesday for what will most definitely be an interesting discussion!

    A whole bunch of little miserly, Eddie Hobbs like, FG, Corkonians {shorter than average people (source Field Marshall)} running around celebrating the life of Maggie - who'd have thunk it eh?

    I suppose, in contrast to a year long membership, it was the cheaper option.

    It's really not that surprising. Despite all the bull we go on with, we out-Thatchered the UK by a long way. Maggie had a big bang of some bank regulation in 1987, we abolished it altogether, (well enforcement anyway). No party opposed this as all worshipped the miracle of the IFSC.

    This is something we all refuse to face up to. Banking without rules is simply fraud. We are the fraud capital of Europe, even more so than Maggie's own City.

    Young FG's worship of the bitch, as we are being drowned under the consequences of Dermot Desmond and charlie Haughey's love of this woman's 'ideas' is simply beyond parody.
