So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

As for the lamp-posts - hang em high I say. But then what's one opinion in a country of millions? Ages ago someone on this board said "You know democracy has come to town when you see politicians hanging from lamp-posts". I agree.
And we should import vultures specifically to peck the rotting flesh from their acid-rain bleached* corpses.
(* I would like to say 'sun bleached' but this is Ireland aferall)
Report on business sector of the Irish Examiner yesterday entitled "One rule for the poor, no rule for the rich".
The article referred to the way small business's in Ireland are being hit with taxes left, right and centre - for example new tax coming in for company vans, if you use them for personal use as well, an extra tax is being levied on this.
Where as the super-rich and the owners of huge business's can legitimately avoid huge taxes by using such things as non-Irish residency and tax havens.
No one likes giving away cash, including Denis O'Brien, and including ALL of us - I'm sure we'd all be the same if were in the same postion as he is. Its the system must be changed that does not allow the super-rich to avoid taxes and better still not allow them to become rich in the first place. But as I say I'm sure we'd all grumble if we had to give hundreds of thousands/millions of euro away so get rid of the lamp post lark I reckon.
There's a lovely strecth of sturdy overhanging lamp-posts down here. However, at present I must admit they look a bit bare. Just lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. I have, however, given them all names... Dukes, O'Fearhaill, Power, Wall, Welds, Maktoum, Dardis etc.
If the Unions (ha, ha,) in this country were any good they should immediately have instructed all members to take next Tuesday to Friday off, to be with their families. Some chance. However I reckon such an instruction would quickly cause the TDs to change their minds on their self given holiday.
Anyone know if the 4 rugger buggers ever came back from their little jaunt to Australia, that just happened to coincide with the World Cup?
The lack of opposition to any indulgence of the ruling class is getting a bit annoying. But I had a good laugh this morning reading in the Irish Times that poor old Denis O Brien thinks Ireland has become a 'Communist State' beause he is expected to pay tax on £290 MILLION. He is so miffed the poor man is considering 'turning his back' on Ireland altogether.
These people are beyond parody at this stage. Just find a convenient line of lamp posts I reckon.
the 61% is not jobLESS it is Job LOSSES, in comparison to this time last year. I thought that would be obvious. Obvioulsy not.
(figure comes from RTE - and who am I to argue with National Broadcaster?)
Up 61? eh? Sounds catastrophic, it's a wonder they're not rioting in the streets.
So that increase leavs us with how many jobless? And waht % of the total workforce would that be?
