Taxpayers not to blame for Anglo disaster

How dare Michael McGrath say that the two Anglo executives “lured the State and the taxpayers....” into a trap.

No, Mr McGrath — they lured your corrupt and incompetent party into one. I’m a taxpayer and I wasn’t consulted. There was no referendum and no consultation with the people/taxpayers on that disastrous night in 2008.

At the time — given the question marks over Anglo — I said that the hair-brained and disastrous guarantee that your party decided to impose should have had the same caveat as a lowly car insurance policy — you’re declaring something as true and if you’re lying the policy is null and void.

Unfortunately I seem to have more ethics and cop on in my bellybutton than McGrath’s entire party, but given many of the con-artists and incompetents that some Irish folk have inexplicably voted into Leinster House that’s not surprising!

Do not dare to blame us for your disastrous decisions which have bankrupted and betrayed our country.

The fault for that lies squarely at Fianna Fáil’s door, and no right-thinking Irish person should ever allow them to forget this fact.
