Fiddling the GDP Figures? Mon Sep 08, 2025 15:13 | David Craig
Labour keeps bragging about growth, but David Craig reckons that the ONS's dubious new method of counting overseas output as part of the UK's GDP is giving a false impression of economic vitality.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3My first point is:We get what we voted for..just last night on the frontline show,pat rabbite labour party member,replied when asked the question,why did you say welfare would never be touched,he said:''What do you expect in an election,we have to say these things''..Pearse doherty then asked him,why his 100k + salary was not touched,and child welfare was slashed,he didnt respond at all.As far as i can see there was no outcry from the public about pat rabbites response.At least he was honest about his dishonesty..But our complacency needs to stop,we NEED to get out on the streets and show our discontent with those who are actively doing so at every chance,we need to be out with them.Half the problem in ireland is complacency,we have to protest the dail and affect change.
My second point is:With all the recent scandals,and with the savita case,and everything that went on in between,with wasteful quangos,corrupt members of the dail,and the antics of the group of the five TD's who made this prank call to a man who is getting a lot of his property repossesed.It is no wonder we are where we are.Until we vote non populist parties,and give other small parties a chance we have no hope.
Labour like to critisise sinn fein,but at least sinn fein have spoke up for the working class and the poor,they are a socialist party,more to the left then the right.But i feel if we dont vote for these smaller parties,or other groups we will get nowhere in this country.
Look at the whole ming affair,this man was critisised for his dress sense,by men in armani suits who wrecked this country wholesale,and wouldnt let this man speak in the dail chambers.These are the people who have their say on our budget,and where is OUR say on this budget?
How come those on 100 + salaries dont get thiers even looked at?
Is this a democracy?No..I dont think so.
Democracy is an illusion.After this budget,and the block they put on an abortion referendum we certainly know the will of the people is not being acted on by those in the dail.
They were behaving like kids on a playground. Prank calls (especially to a guy who was about to get is tracktor repossesed by friends first)is absolutley wholly unacceptable.They should be fired.
This is the calibre of so called ''representatives'' we have in the dail supposedly ''representing'' the common person facing difficulties or on the bread line or both.
It has to be agreed these people only represent themselves,when it was pointed out that their 100,000 plus salaries went untouched,while social welfare was affected,and other breadline wage types.
I have to agree - this is not a democracy.
These people dont represent you or me,they are busy feathering their own nests.
When will people wake up and storm the dail.
If this was an arab nation,they would have stormed the dail by now,and hung these f*ckers up by their expensive silk ties..
Here is a link to the pat rabbite lies in the election saying he would not touch the poor,or those on marginal wages..

These pr*cks should be swinging from a lampost..
