Ahern & Blair have agreed to further f*ck the pensioners.

Oh well we should have seen it coming. It seems that if the there isn't a "return to institutions" in the north by the 24th of November 2006, ( those institutions agreed under the "peace process" of 1998 blaa blaa) [and not to be confused with the institutions which met in the same building {Stormont} from 1921 - 1972 ]
the people who don't do anything there, other than steal each other's shredded office waste, will GO WITHOUT THEIR PAY!
not a penny of a pound nor centimo of a Euro, nor a shilling more will be paid them.

Rev. Dr. Ian Paisley of the popular doomsday cult given short notice on his pension.
Rev. Dr. Ian Paisley of the popular doomsday cult given short notice on his pension.

mr Paisley (pictured in illustration) of very pensionable age, is the oldest and most popularly voted politician in Europe, since the defeat of Manuel Fraga last year in the Galician regional elections, Paisley now alone takes pride of place as an octogenerian political representative.

Will he survive without his Stormont salary?

If you'd like to know more about Mr Paisley's voting record in the Westminster parliament & how much money he's grabbed off the British state - look here.-

We must all join forces to stop this outrage. Write a letter to Messrs Blair and Ahern demanding a decent pension for Dr Paisley and if possibile a title too.
Because he'd like a title, something like "Lord Ian of the Shankill" and as soon as he gets that title and recognition, because of the Hondt mechanism at the heart of the "peace process" Gerry Adams will be offered a title too :- Lord Adams of the Falls. Of course he'll probably turn that down being fenian and stuff.

But we'll all have more fun dealing with this, than wondering who killed Cock Robin. Because neither Ahern or Blair ( in alphabetical order ) saw fit to tell us today at their summit at Navan fort in Armagh.

apology to foreign readers, but this really is an Irish issue & thus difficult to understand nor indeed write about..,

This is the first time the GFA has seen progress without a blood sacrifice. I suppose that doesn't mean anything to the loony left and delusional idiots that post here.

:O(

I just wish all u rational and in control people would say something that didn't warrant sarcasm for a change.

Any way it's good to see Bertie keep his hand in - in fucking pensioners over. He'll appreciate it all the more when he loses his.

Poor ole Ian. I say we have a whip round........I know there's one around here somewhere.

We should buy him his own little begging cup. We could engrave/scrape his name into it and paint it orange for him. We could do a similar deal for Bertie only paint the Stars and Stripes on his one.

This morning's Spanish commercial press ribbids on about an "ultimatum" to "Ulster" to govern itself.
& offers the interesting figures of monthly payments of 140,000€ for each minister of a fantasy government. "La Vanguardia" suggests the assembly has cost over 120 million €.

Thats a "lot of money". But Its not as much the minister of Health Mary Harney lost on a computer system. So its not as much as "a pittance", I recall listing what that sort of money could buy (C/F http://indymedia.ie/article/72318 ) And do remember its less than 0.5% of either the Irish or British state's budget.

Maybe they ought to have given more thought to all the little birds of all the myriad feathers with that money instead. Meanwhile the usual "experts" (meaning academics) are being wheeled out in the comment spaces of Spain's commercial press to compare and contrast the Irish "peace process" and the IRA's role in it, which they varyingly date from 1998 "ceasefire" or 2005 "disarming" to their own hopes and analysis of the ETA thing. Of course they're just academics, and already are comitting the first error - The Basques are learning and will learn from the Irish . Its such a cliché. I am bound to turn it around for you all. The Irish have as much and had as much to learn from the Basques : Mendiz mendi. Mendirik mendi ( = from one mountain to another )

Instead of Stormont, the peoples of "NI / Ulster" could have -
free school books for the kids (oh but they do!!!!)
hospital beds (oh but they do!!!!)
free school dinners for the kids (oh but they do!!!!)
tamiflu stocks for the bird flu (oh but they do!!!!!)
big swimming pools (oh but they do!!!!!)

Just goes to show, the peoples of "NI / Ulster" could afford to splash out on an assembly which never could meet after all. Enjoy your Easter. Peace Processes are very expensive, its not just the cost of books by experts you have to buy, or offices you have to furnish, or stationary that has to be printed, its the blood sacrifice too. & "too much sacrifice makes a stone of any heart".

I think the worthless maggot shouldn't get paid ANYTHING, especially when he condone and promotes violence agianst Catholics and nationalists as a means of keeping Norhtern Ireland under British jurisdiction. Maybe he should be PAYING others, like those who suffered from the UDA and every other Protestant paramilitary TERRORIST organization. Poor wittle Ian, he doesn't have a pension... let the man rot for all I care. The man urged the RUC to invade athe Belfast Sinn Fein office just to remove the Irish tricolor, what a complete moron. Sure, give the bigot blood money, so he can further damage the Irish peace process... but remember this, the IRA fulfilled it's part of the Peace Process through disarmament... what will Ian do to contribute?

Thursdays follow Wednesdays as sure as Today follows Yesterday. It's amazing what we all have in common. I suppose by now the pensioners feel slightly alleviated with their all-Ireland bus pass. & so at 3 minutes to 11 on the 4th of the 4th month 2007 - Prime Ministers Ahern & Paisley ate egg & cress sambos as part of our Irish Scottish alliance to reclaim the Anglo-Saxon empire from criminals.

Many of you will not see how much progress has been made. The last time Dr Paisley ate eggies in the hospitality of the Eire state was at our embassy to the court of St. James. That time he insisted they be boiled and served in a shell. There was a spate of poisonings around then and the first mon worried lest he ask for bread and be given a serpent. We the Irish people gave him his hard boiled eggs and he did break each in a different way which I later got paid just over sixty quid for suggesting meant he had mastered the Lilliput problem just like me. They took me off the list of psychic-temps & I never got a phone call again. What could I do but go freelance. After laying Arafat to rest on the 11th day of the 11th month finding another state to slip me just over sixty quid wasn't that difficult. Don't worry about me my delusions will keep my fish from my serpents.

Dr Paisley of the UK and Ulster was always an oppositionalist unlike his exact contemporary Manuel Fraga of Spain and Galicia who was always in power. I told ye about them too in a "Sunday Papers we are all Galicians edition". Has anyone noticed it's Easter? Or has the Irish patent & intellectual copyright of history-making & faking during this changeable religious feast gone un-noticed? Do not thee and thou fret - we will sort out Iraq and Jerusalem this side of 2016.

"on our honor innit"
