Leaked memo shows the true extent of Fianna Fail's deceit It never fails to amuse me that when an issue of genuine interest in Irish politics arises, the silence from Indymedia is deafening. While we have countless postings about a party in town on Sunday and a few rants against Sharon and Israel, no one has mentioned the fact that the government have been exposed for lying, and are facing the biggest crisis of their term. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Wake up (Bill) Clinton, a majority of the people who voted supported the current government. Something that does not exactly thrill me, but it's the harsh reality. The cuts directed to a large extent against the weakest sections of society are not surprising or at least should not be. It's a reflection of our law of the jungle system, which is supported by large sections of the population.
...politicians lying is not news.
You don't see many stories saying "Sun came up today", do you?
***STOP PRESS*** Ireland can be quite wet ***STOP PRESS***
What can we add? Feel free to write some stuff yourself top guy and stop giving us shit
I thought the point of indymedia was a place to put stories that the mainstream neglected to cover?
McCreevy has (thankfully) been all over the corporate news already. No point giving grief to IMC for not having it. Besides it's open publishing. So you put it there didn't you,,, so it's there...
yes McCreevy should go, and so should Bertie.
it amazes me people re-elected him.
"We'll have a referendum on PfP" --- lie
"There'll be not cuts" ---lie
"I'm a democrat and I accept the vote of the people" -- lie.
It's not IMC that needs to wake up...
Not telling Irish people about 133 Nice Treaty until things get bad and the firesale of Services begins.
Do you want your money back?
You arent dealing with a company here.
People are free to talk about what they want or not to.
Im glad to see that you have started a thread on the subject and I agree that it is important but i do want to clarify that indymedia isnt a bunch of people in an office somewhere deciding what to write about.
What it is though are individuals who want to express an opinion or inform the public on an issue.
the way you phrase your point is as if you "blame this media", and Im glad you have taken it upon yourself to "be the media" and raise the issue to get the chat going
I think the scales have taken a definite tip toward the NO vote
no we wont be bullied
no we dont trust what the government wants us to think
no we dont want corporations taking over every aspect of our lives and turning everything into products to sell, low quality ones linked to expensive advertising
patenting nature and selling it back to us for whatever price it wants
WE WANT DIVERSITY NOT BORING HOMOGENITY AND BRAINWASHING AND ENSLAVEMENT
no doubt McCreevy is off to get a job with enron or worldcom
or to set up "the college of creative accounting and bakin of d'books",
after he has had a pint with Charlie Haughey that is
Didnt Haughey look fit and well in the photos of him down in Dingle at the regata this summer - strange how he made such a quick recovery?
