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.

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..,
