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.....
