Ciaran’s Peculier [sic] Blog

The government’s travel plans for St Patrick’s Day have been announced, and as expected our governments almost to a man will be spending our national holiday abroad. They cynically say that this is motivated by job promotion. Now once again this displays a slave mentality. We have to look abroad for people to make jobs for us in Ireland. What happened to the spirit of Sinn Fein, or Ourselves Alone? The Sinn Fein of Arthur Griffith was the political ancestor of Fianna Fail. I think many will agree that we must keep an eye on our own homegrown businesses and firms, many of which are small-scale, but which has the capacity to improve our economic well being and provide sustainable employment.

 But you know, I’m tired pointing out the fact that we’re ruled by scoundrels. It’s like flogging a dead horse at this stage. We do live in a democracy and we get the rulers we deserve. So if they shit upon the people, as they do, it is because the Irish people have allowed themselves to be shat upon. I would also be the first to admit that while our rulers are with few exceptions, a bunch of rogues, they are not alone. In many ways they perfectly reflect Irish society.

PS I am still the holder of a valid Irish passport but as I can’t afford to travel I don’t have much use for it these days.So if anyone from Mossad or any other secret service reads this and needs an Irish passport for a job it’s for sale.  And if they’re prepared to pay a bit extra they can keep it.
