We need list of Anglo bondholders

Trickles of information are beginning to paint the picture of the causes of our enforced austerity which will be with us for generations to come. Just so we don’t forget: €200 billion in unsustainable debt with over €10 billion in interest payments alone year after year).

But until such time as we are given the complete list of the senior bondholders at Anglo Irish Bank, who were protected at the expense of the people of Ireland, we won’t know the full story. The revelation of this list would give us the clearest insight yet of how our lives are controlled by global banks, investment institutions and giant corporate businesses.

It would help to make clear why Trichet did a ‘about turn’ on his version of his communication with the Irish Government during the meltdown and of why the ECB itself capitulated to these forces and enslaved the Irish people.
