After our beloved (smell the sarcasm there?) leading government party decided to increases taxes last year the likes of Biffo and Brainless Lenihan called on us to be patriotic and not shop in Northern Ireland where we weren’t being ripped off. So people like me who saved 30% on my recent camera bag purchase or those saving 50% on their food shopping are “Un-Irish” and hate our country eh?
The Irish times reported that Fianna Fáil’s new website is hosted in the USA. What??? The party in government that’s telling us to buy in Ireland is spending a reported €12,000 a year outside of Europe while there are a number of perfectly capable 100% native hosting companies in Ireland. Wouldn’t that be unpatriotic considering the above call by Brainless? Is Biffo talking out of his backside?
Anyone who continues to excuse these people deserves everything they get. I just wish they’d take the Greens (I’ve no time for a taxation party with no real solutions to offer) and Fianna Fail with them off to some God-forsaken island off the west coast and stay there while the rest of us try to bail ourselves out of the mess that Bertie and Biffo put us in.
Biffo and Brainless could look to Microsoft Ireland down in Sandyford for inspiration. They’re actually doing a lot to help native Irish business get off the ground and running. It sure beats saying one thing, doing another and looking after your buddies in the corrupt banking system.
