    Pakistani Soldier Stoned To Death For Relationship With Local Girl 

    news/attachments/pakistan.png-375.html

    You have to despair of the human race sometimes. This is like something out of the bible. A Pakistani soldier apparently fell in love with a local woman in a deeply conservative semiautonomous tribal region. The locals did not approve. The fate of the girl is unclear, but as generally speaking women get stoned in Pakistan more than men, we can probably expect a grisly fate for her too.

    Mortgage end-game? Government 'plan' due at 2pm, today, 13 March 2013. 

    news/attachments/arrears.jpg-374.html

    Well, folks, today might be a bit of a mixed bag for lots of posters here.

    We might finally be getting to the end of all the mortgage related threads on P.ie . And as one of the biggest culprits on the 'mortgage moan' front, I've decided to set up one last, hopefully consolidated, thread.

    The price of an end to all these threads and moaning, might be an increase in your feelings of disgust, anger or frustration at what you might consider an over-reaction by the government, or the creation of a massive moral hazard.

    Head of Department of Finance: We have an "unnaturally low level of repossessions", things will change soon. 

    news/attachments/john-moran-595x250.jpg-369.html

    Eye opening stuff from John Moran yesterday, none of the couching that politicians engage, just hard reality.

    1. Legislation is going to be passed to get around the Dunne judgement. Banks are going to be able to repossess houses as a last resort where there is no realistic possibility of repayment of the principle.

    2. Large subsidising of mortgages seems to be ruled out: "It is not necessarily appropriate that banks should be using taxpayers' money to subsidise people living in accommodation, even if it is a family home, that is beyond their means."

    3. On repossession rates in other countries: "Maybe we will move to those levels. We have had as serious a crisis as everybody else."

    Senator suggests people should "pay to post" 

    news/attachments/senator-eamon-coghlan.jpg-368.html

    Oh God no...

    "An Oireachtas Committee has heard that getting people to pay to post on social media websites or register their passport numbers for IP addresses could help tackle the issue of anonymity of the internet.

    Senator Eamon Coghlan made the suggestions as the committee examined the link between social media and cyber bullying."

    Deal to postpone repayment of €40 billion bailout for over a decade seems to be a certainty 

    news/attachments/potd2.jpg-367.html

    Big progress for the Irish govt is expected today in their efforts to postpone debt repayments as finance ministers meet today to discuss approving it, with little opposition expected. The Indo are hopeful of a "deal" being announced
