We are not Greek!.wmv

At last a risen people begin to demonstrate their anger in tangible form.Some two thousand non civil servants marched from the Garden of Rememberance in Dublin to Dail Eireann where a small group of those present indulged in a brief confrontation with Gardai as they attempted to enter the gates.Nobody was seriously injured.

Protest, scream, shout, push your way into the Dáil....but have you got any real solutions to this countrys prolems if so let us here about them otherwise the above actions on the video only give opportunity to those who want use violence and innocent people get hurt. Nothing good is achieved

@sunnydays077 True, but the same was said of a group of men who forced their way into the GPO in O'Connell street 95 years ago. That action galvanized a browbeaten people into insurrection against the controlling power.

Why will this discredited government not leave office.We want transparency and openess in dealing with the crony developers now sheltering under the wings of NAMA.

Why this title?

[tirnanog33]

@blishypoos

The title is a play on the well reported catch phrase/slogan/ protest banners of Greek protesters in Athens which were "we are not Irish!"

The inference being that we (the Greeks) will not lie down and meekly acquiesce to the bailing out of the wealthy.

The Greek tax collection system is notoriously inefficient and a huge paralell black economy exists there, in every strata of society, including doctors, dentists, shopkeepers etc.

First Rte Blackout of Demonstration and now this morning they are dumbing down the figures to 500. These filthy rich presenters, editors, programmers, and elite who run the national broadcaster need to be removed and real people who know what recession is all about put in. THERE IS NO RECESSION IN RTE. The Greeks and Icelandics have shown the way will the middleclass irish follow? probably not because protesting is not very nice and the Celtic Tigers are used to nice things.

1. Why were the gates open?

2. I blame the Greeks!!!!

[Sweenzer]

Fair play to the Gardai brave guys

[Sweenzer]

@tirnanog33 That's not strictly true because the 1916 "protesters" were seen as scumbags until the Army executed them

[fear946]

[ratsratsrats100]

@BetamaxLives03 ANDREW HAGEN aka betamaxlives03 closed his sherriffnitwit account after he was caught trying to groom a minor. he is a dangerous and disgusting peadophille.

[BetamaxLives03]

AT SPINEY NORMAN...

Have you any idea how difficult it is to groom a miner?

They wear those goddamn helmets with the little lights on them and more often that not the helmet has a little chin strap which can be difficult to get off.

And they don't thank you for it! Oh no...

... all they want to do is go off down the mine and dig for coal.

(straight over your head I'm guessing)
