Remembering Patrick Neary « Rachel Andrews
https://rachelandrews.wordpress.com/2011/02/11/remembering-patrick-neary
Apart from making you want to drown yourself, or at the very least, pack up and turn off all the lights, the funniest line from Michael Lewis’ Vanity Fair article has to be Colm McCarthy’s description of what people thought when former Central Bank regulator Patrick Neary was wheeled out onto Prime Time on October 2008. Who the fuck was that? Is that the fucking guy who is in charge of the money? That’s when everyone panicked. Oh god. You have to laugh… if it wasn’t so tragic that is. February 11, 2011.

From Elaine Byrne in today’s Guardian:. So, is default the answer? The repayment on the 5.8% interest of the 85bn bailout alone will amount to 20% of annual tax revenues. The severe fiscal austerity measures, including the contentious 1 reduction in the minimum wage, will never be enough within a framework of a fixed exchange rate. This method of internal devaluation, or the attempt to “buy more time” has merely kicked the issue of default down the road. As Paul Krugman suggested. November 29, 2010.

This is not a bailout. He’s right of course, it won’t work. And unless there is some form of renegotiation, we the citizens will now pay for the greed of Irish and international bankers.

Things fall apart « Rachel Andrews

TURNING and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer;. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere. The ceremony of innocence is drowned;. The best lack all conviction, while the worst. Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand;. Surely the Second Coming is at hand. Hardly are those words out. When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi. December 1, 2010. She recently com...
