A Haven From Heaven 2

After 2 weeks of further waiting for the people supposedly running this country to give us some clue as to what their plans are, they are obviously still waiting for a sign from above, or something! One could be forgiven for thinking that Bertie, the eternal wobbler, has a secret blood-brother relationship with Adams and McGuinness, and intends to utilise the silly season to pull some chestnuts out of the fire for them. Is he actually sniggering behind the backs of his 2 PD colleagues? Just think, one in Health, the other in Justice! What electoral support will they have coming into the next election? Probably less than David Trimble!
The only people down south with any bottle are the criminals and the Irish Christian Brothers (is there any difference between them?). What sort of scam were the "Brudders" planning? They will probably get away with plundering the country on account of their large bills for child abuse. But the popular claim by most Irish Catholics that the Church has no say in anything nowadays doesn't sit quite so comfortable right now, does it?
The Gardai playing the same over-charging game as the Banks is hardly any surprise, either.
Irish business people involved in the huge fraud of Turkish construction workers may yet prove very embarrassing for Ireland's glorious trade union movement! (as well as Mary Harney).
The dreaded Brits, warts and all, tend to do a better job. Thir election result was exactly what the doctor ordered. But the Brits have been suffering under their own a lot longer, which might account for their astuteness.
Irish Catholics down south simply refuse to accept that they are suffering under their own!
There's probably about two dozen or so more good scandals being held back by the editors of our investigative journalists to be drip-fed to us over the coming months if they cannot be successfully covered-up or settled "out-of-court". In politics, everything is timing, and it will be very interesting to sit back and observe the nature of these scandals, and of course, ponder why the public have been kept in the dark about them for so long. Who knows, maybe Bertie will even get up the bottle himself to back his PD Minister for Justice, and maybe tell our Gardai to get their act together and start earning their salaries, for a change. The second elite force that needs to be told to get it's act together is the Prison Officers. All too often the inmates in our prisons are not the real criminals.
But we do live in very interesting times.
