Born and
bred in London, England and due to some rather
complex reasons which I won't go into here I came
to Ireland some years ago to live and work. I was
injured in my place of work and after a time,
became unable to continue to work and support my
family because of my injury. I'm one of the little
guys at the end of the line who pissed off the
wrong people by asking the right questions and got
shafted by 'The System'. I went to some of my
political representatives for help and got
shafted again. I went to the government
departments whose job it was to help people like
myself and got shafted again. The famous saying
of 'Howard Beale' in the film 'Network' summed up
my feelings exactly..."I'm as mad as hell
and I'm not going to take this anymore'. My
'serious' Usenet articles and this web site
(along with a number of mirror sites, so don't
get any ideas) is my way of letting off a bit of
steam....and having a bit of fun at the same
time.
I don't
really care whether I'm taken seriously. I'm
patient and content to wait until all the truth
comes out, which some day it will, such as it is
starting to come out about Haughey, Burke, Flynn
et all. I'm content to know that I was one of the
first to bring certain matters into the public
domain, such as the way successive Irish
governments turned a blind eye to massive welfare
fraud in some parts of the country.......that
which a Donegal member of the Irish Parliament
once said to a constituent, "Is the way it's
always been here, and it won't be changed just
for you." Along with giving what was
genuinly friendly advice such as, "Keep your
mouth shut, or it'll be the worst for you."
And I'll be there, ready to testify before
tribunal or criminal court, and name names of the
politicians and public/civil servants who were
unable to help me and my family and yet were able
to help others, who were involved within the
'Black Economy'. That's how I feel today,
however, tomorrow is another day.....
