Present case numbers for the ?K? variant Super-Flu don't justify the hype, says Dr David Livermore. Perhaps it's the media lust for fear porn, or perhaps the Government's fear of the strike, but it's not a Super-crisis.

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Wednesday September 29, 2010 16:35author by Madam K and Seán Ryan Report this post to the editors

The two intrepid reporters approached the Dáil, hoping to have some serious questions answered, armed with a camera and a butt plug, just in case.

A big lorry came and parked outside the Dail in an act of protest about toxic banks. Reporters were later to be seen spinning the story that it had tried to crash through the gates. Later still, politicians were defecating the same thing. We had enough. We produced the butt plug. The politicians seemed to like it.

Not all of us are willing to take it in the arse for the banks.

The lorry didn't try to ram through the gates. If it had it would have succeeded. The gardaí sprung into action by breaking the back window. The gentleman inside, who'd immobilised the vehicle, was arrested and taken away. The gardaí stood around scratching their heads through their hats. Nobody it seems considered the possibility that the truck might explode at any second. A very good thing it didn't as the bodycount would have been high, due to lots of good folks travelling to work and others stopping up to see what was going on.

A tow truck eventually arrived. There have been many things said about the lorry having slowed or stopped traffic, this was far from the truth, it was the tow truck that hindered traffic. The lorry was winched up and dragged away nearly two hours later.

The politicians started to arrive. We really wanted to question them about their ideas on our debt crisis, NAMA and other things. We'd discussed our approach a number of times and had decided to bring along a butt plug in the event that the politicians decided to be anal. They decided to be anal, just like we really knew they would. They didn't disappoint us.

When asked questions about how the deficit was going to be plugged or if the people of Ireland felt that they were taking it up the arse for the banks, the politicians almost eat the butt plug, in their hurry to promote themselves and the shite they were expelling.

The crisis continues. The banks will be taken care of. And all the saps at the Dáil have to show for themselves is their willingness to talk shite into a butt plug.
