Toxic truckers wing it as Lenihan plays Comical Ali

IT sounds a bit provocative, to say the least, to hear Brian Lenihan tell us the economy won’t be fixed by driving trucks into the gates of Leinster House.

Has he anything to say to the wreckers who drove the truck that is the Irish economy into the free fall in which it now finds itself?

The driver of the first truck is facing due and speedy process while the other saboteurs enjoy early retirement on the golf courses of Europe and beyond. If we can believe Lenihan and the Taoiseach, the economy must now be spinning like a top, so many corners has it turned. Our finance minister is reminiscent of the spinning Comical Ali during the second Gulf War famously or infamously announcing victory even as US tanks were advancing up his street.
