A bad example

It appears that ‘Smoked Salmon Socialism’ sums up the Labour Party’s attitude to our present economic difficulties.

While they harangue us about the need for all to make sacrifices and accept draconian cuts, we see them cocooned from reality in the luxurious surroundings of five-star Carton House for their recent party ‘think in’ before they resume Dáil sessions this week.

All of this paid for by the taxpayer in allowances and unvouched expenses that our politicians exploit to the maximum.
