It’s a sin to tell a lie
by planetparker
This weekend’s revelations about ministerial beauty treatments in five-star hotels, trips on elephants to India etc., show us one thing. Not only are our rulers robbers: they are also shameless LIARS! But then, I suppose what better type of person to have at the head of that crowd of liars the HSE.
And then there is Minister Parafin in India. I for one wouldn’t mind if she was participating in a suttee ceremony. Maybe she was on a fact-finding mission after which she would have told social welfare recipients about the joys of lying on nails.
But you know, if I were an employer trying to fill vacancies there are things which would automatically exclude certain candidates. If they had to deal with money I would certainly not employ anyone about whom there was even the whiff of dishonesty, while anyone with criminal associates would definitely not be taken on. But even though our government ministers are supposedly – theoretically – our servants, we can’t get rid of them. In fact we are being held hostage by a criminal clique And anyway those waiting so eagerly in the wings to grab power are as bad if not worse than those already here.
In the past I have referred to the Minister of Health as Mary Hernia. I think a far more apposite name would be Hairy Mary.
As for the Greens, I wonder whether John Gormley remembers what Michael Collins said after signing the Treaty in 1921? Clue: it was something about death warrants. Well gormless Gormley has not only signed his own death political death warrant, but that of the Green Party as a whole. As they say in Italy. Chi va con lo zoppo impara zoppicare.
