We have to change — for our children’s sake

MICHAEL LOWRY is a decent honourable servant of the people, Haughey wasn’t bribed, John O’Donoghue hated limos, the Catholic Church never put the interests of rapists ahead of the protection of children and Gerry Adams was never in the IRA.

I am so relieved. For a moment there, I thought that I was living in a beautiful, but bankrupt country, that’s ruled by thieving idiots, guided by perverts and financed by bankers with MBAs in money laundering from the Tony Soprano University.

What are we cribbing about? We let this happen. We sat there while Bertie got all teary eyed defending himself against accusations that were never made and then like drugged-up lemmings we marched to the polling booths to put him back in power. Again and again we accepted the lies and the downright callous disregard for the inherent decency of our nation.
