Farmers give Bertie a last warning...

shite and more shite

The long suffering irish taxpayer has been threathened again-by brussels bureaucrats if the farmers don't clean up their act.

Oh ‘tis a great country ,Ireland.This week’s review of the important topics –brought to you courtesy of Bertie and the Farmers (who as we all know, really run this country).

The most important pre-election matter for the ‘Soldiers Of Destiny’ to deal with(according to a recent rural poll carried out by an american consultancy firm which specializes in pre-election intelligence gathering) is the problem of Judge Curtin’s psychiatric fixation with young girls-in the flesh and on the web.
80 percent of the rural electorate declared their abhorrence of being charged with drunken driving or tax evasion by a man of such blemished character.
75 percent said they would find it difficult to vote for a party which did not consign him to Dante’s seventh hell without delay-and suspend his massive salary in the bargain.

‘We cannot have pedophiles running around the country’ declared one prominent farmer who was interviewed on his way back from a demonstration against a recent attempt by Brussels to stop so much cow shite from polluting the rivers and lakes of the island of saints and scholars,by threatening to make the irish taxpayer pay a big fine if they did not ‘clean up their act.’
‘They have no business interfering’ he declared ‘those overpaid brussel’s politicians are always poking their noses into our gravy tra..I mean our–affairs.!They are there for one purpose and one purpose only-their job is to keep sending us money,-that’s what we elect them for’he declared ‘.I have already been screwed for trying to hide some of my hard earned dough from Bertie’s clutches,in one of those fancy banks-and the scum betrayed me-and now Bertie wants to ruin me!.It’s totally unacceptable.The tractors will be in Merrion square again if Fianna Fail don’t do what they are told.Who do they think they are anyway-we made them-we will break them!’and besides what are rivers for –except to bring shite down to the sea.’
The I.F.A. were unavailable for comment.

John, you should learn a bit more about rural Ireland before you post nonsense.

why do people insist on posting this type of nonsense? It makes Indymedia look very bad.

Today's Irish independent web site carries an article in which it states that Neil blaney has publicly defended the tax dodging Donegal Farmers and businessmen,some of whom have had to sell their farms to pay bills fo a lifetime of ducking and diving.This may be an election stratagem butLets face it ,the big farmers ,businessmen etc,never thought that the chickens would come home to roost-but Bertie's Revenue Boys are roosting the lot of them and they are squeeling like stuck pigs.
Taxes were too high for sure-and only the P.A.Y.E. paid them for the past 30 years-so it's a bit of a shock for everybody(including me).That's life .as the criminals say;'If you do the crime -do the time!'
Less complaining now,-farms for sale indeed! Can one believe that a tax dodger owes so much money as to have to sell his farm?why not get a loan from your friendly bank manager to pay Bertie's 'Tax Regulators'?

The 'Fianna Fail Spin ;of last week (sex,lies and videotape)released to the newspapers indicating that Ireland would be seeking a derogation(that means cop-out)from the European Nitrates directive whereby farmers pollute our nations drinking water by poisoning it,-has been cancelled.Responding to my E-mail ,a copy of which is above Mr Walsh released the following amended press statement today;-

THE Irish Government faces fines of up to €50,000 a day, and the EU payments of €1.7bn to farmers may be vulnerable, if a plan to tackle pollution from farming is not submitted to Brussels by July, Agriculture Minister Joe Walsh warned yesterday.

A European Court of Justice ruling in March means Ireland has no choice but to implement the 1991 Nitrates Directive in full, Mr Walsh said at his department's annual review. "If we don't, it will have serious consequences. Our direct payments of €1.7bn could be put in a vulnerable situation," he said.

Most of the country's 130,000 farmers would already be compliant and only 10,000 would have a problem, Mr Walsh added.

Our thanks to Joe Walsh for his amazingly fast change of heart on this important issue to those of us who who drink ....-water!
However it looks like it's still curtains for the evil Judge,Bertie's boys are assembling a formidable posse of bounty hunters to hunt him down .....and save him from a lynch mob of the local sheep -sh***ers in the kerry mountains.
