http://irishsavant.blogspot.ie/search/label/Ireland Remember my mantra 'worse is better'? Well it's being vindicated in spectacular fashion. Ireland's hitherto unquestionable foreign aid frolic, the one whereby we borrow nearly €700 million annually to lodge in the bank accounts of African despots, is coming under vigorous scrutiny. Ah, nothing like a bit of negative equity to upend our sanctimonious preening. The charity Czars in Poverty Palace are getting worried. They see their six figure salaries and bloated expense accounts coming under unprecedented scrutiny.

It all began really when flambouyant lawyer Gerry Kean, an old buddy of mine, innocently raised a question on TV that has baffled me for years. In this post for example I outlined our politicians' missed opportunity and posed the question. "They scour every item of expenditure to save a million here, a million there. Always with an eye to the political impact (i.e. their careers). Awful, painful, career-ending cuts must be made. But must they? Lying on the table, in all its glory, lies an annualised pot of about €700 million which the pols could redeploy overnight with zero impact on the voting public."

But they do not. In God's name why not?

Now an awful lot of newly impverished Irish are asking the same question. Actually make that just about everyone who calls into a radio or TV show or posts on an Internet forum. It's become respectable to talk about it. And that in itself tells us something. That there's probably a lot of pent up feeling in the country that the Thought Police in media, academia and politics had up to now kept stifled.

I tell you this. If after this outcry the pols continue with this madness it will represent for me yet another step in my acceptance of the existence of the NWO. I'm just running out of alternative explanations.

And remember, Worse Is Better
