Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Labour Supports Cut in Public Service Pensions, Privatisation
Pat Rabitte has confirmed on the Week in Politics Sunday, that the Labour Party(Gilmore on lunchtime News) favours cuts in public service pensions for both existing and future pensioners. He has also agreed that everyone including the lowest paid should pay additional income tax. Some state companies and portions of others could be privatised “but we should hold on to the networks”
The guests on Sundays programme constituted a totally unbalanced panel

Catherine Mcguinness a retired judge
On Saturday 1000 people attended Claiming Our Future Conference at RDS, with another thousand refused admittance. There wass no representative of this point of view on the programme
None of the panellists mentioned a tax on assets outside the principal private residence.
The 33,000 millionaires from 2006 still have 120 billion Euro.
How about some patriotism from them?

..is closet PD. She interviewed me back in the late eighties when I set up the Regressive Hypocrites to expose the PD Thatcherite agenda, but forgot to broadcast it when I failed to bend over for her authoritative barrage of questions and insisted she allow me answer one before dragging me into the next three simulaneously. She was decidedly unamused.
The most diplomatic phraseology would be to say she is one of those renowned 'consummate professionals'(a.k.a. mercenary mouthpiece for the larger wedges of wonga).
But then, she's obviously worth it, or we wouldn't be paying her multiples of industrial wages to sit on her arse in taxpayer financed heated studios while gatekeeping the peasants into salubrious distance from the broadcasting portals of power. Herself and Kenny are the broadcasting equivalent of Madam Gergar in the print form.
A sort of a local mongrel-Fox News. No wonder we got Homer for a Taoiseach, sure Bart had to be sent to bed early for pissing in the party tea-pot.
gas little country.
