    No. 8 doesn’t refer to a country. I know it’s the US, but it’d be no harm to actually state it.

    ” there is no one more sorry than i am” sorry brian your wrong again, theres about 4 million people more ‘sorry’ than you are about irelands economic state. all of them irish citizens, some have lost members of their own families due to suicide , others have seen children and grandchildren leave these shores doubfull if they’ll ever return, people have lost their homes, and are STILL losing them to the greedy banks and financial institutions that YOU protected, there is little or no work for those who have lost their jobs and for those fortunate enough to be still in a job there are ‘extra’ charges and levies that see their income shrink before it hits their pockets. then there are all of those who reley on social welfare, the elderly, the disabled, the 1000′s of families who are struggling to put a decent meal on the table and are already worried sick about the forthcoming budget, fearfull of further cuts and price hikes in electricity and gas prices, fearfull of hikes in ‘carbon taxs’ (remember you introduced them along with your green party pals) pushing up the price of coal or briquettes, wondering if they will have to choose between putting on meal on the table or a fire in the grate.
    but its not all doom and gloom,well not for you and your ilk anyway, you still have your very genorous ‘pension’ and you could always apply for a back to education grant, like you did a while back. its not SORRY you should be feeling brian it’s SHAME .

    FF had policies in place that helped overheat the economy. And when people/economists shouted STOP Bertie told them to go and commit suicide. I wonder how many suicides since then have been connected to the financial crisis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFBfkusf8R0

    And another thing, good to see democracy working in the House of Commons last night. As opposed to our crap system.
