GELDOF TELLS GOD & ORANGE ORDER DISSIDENTS TO PHUK OFF
Loyalist Belfast Telegraph;
"Give it a f***ing rest and grow up!" -- that's the message from West Brit, Bob Geldof to peace process critics and dissidents in Northern Ireland.
The ever-colourful and controversial rock singer turned Third World and environmental campaigner is back inBelfast this week.
His band The Boomtown Rats has reformed for a 17-date British Isles tour which kicked off in Dublin last weekend and they hit the Ulster Hall on Friday.
And Bob -- who sang his way to the top of the UK charts with Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays -- has castigated those in Northern Irelandwho are "harping on about the past".
Asked if he takes a continuing interest in Northern Ireland affairs, Bob said "of course".
"If you talk to me about the difference between the time when the Rats first showed up in the north in 1979 and when we show up this week, it is a world away.
"For those who keep harping on about the past and those tired old mythologies -- give it a f***ing rest and grow up like the rest of the place seems to have done.
"The peace agreement was one of the greatest moments of my life. I actually have a framed copy of the signed thing by everyone."
Bob has fond memories of Belfast as the city played host to the Rats when they were banned by their home city of Dublin -- where they were labelled as "licentious festering reprobates".
"The gigs in Belfast were heroic. It was just a fantastic crowd.
"I remember talking to Phil Lynott about it and we both agreed that given the choice of gigs, it was Belfast for us. And we are playing the Ulster Hall again. I just hope they have improved the bloody sound this time!"
* Tickets for The Boomtown Rats at the Ulster Hall are £30 -- from Ticketmaster outlets.
* You can read more about Bob Geldof becoming the first Irishman in space, why he will never write another autobiography and why he believes the world could end by 2030 in next week's Sunday Life.

BRITISH CULTURAL PARODY OF ASSTEEM
They are all twats.
Moon-faced public schoolboys who still believe
in all the old shite that their privilged class
have for ever. The only difference between
Cameron and orangemen is that he has been
told he’s not actually allowed to say nasty
bigoted objectionable things as they; so he says
fluffy crap that means nothing, still screwing
both countries though, oh sorry – that’s the
labour parties in both, i forgot, or (this bit
unavailable due to cuts – please make up your
own incredible excuse here)

Ireland Faces 20 years of “No Growth,” George W Bush Economic Adviser
George W Bush economic adviser Dr Pippa Malmgren, speaking in Dublin yesterday, said Ireland faces 20 years of “no growth,” because of the European Central Bank She was speaking at a Davy Stockbroker conference in Dublin, saying Ireland should leave the euro and devalue the punt. Of course Irish politicians on the Euro gravy train will disagree.
She said Ireland could deal with its debts, without inflating them away: “But you have to accept 20 years of no growth. That’s the only other option. It’s what European policymakers expect Ireland to do. The question is, do the Irish people have the tolerance to take that much pain?”
She said, “Germany doesn’t want inflation. Everybody else needs it, that’s the heart of the problem,” warning inflation cannot be controlled once it spirals. She said thar Cyrpus, will exit the euro zone: “If a country can leave and devalue, it raises the question for Ireland - what is the cost of staying in?”
Iceland's economy which had very similar problems with Ireland is doing very well with. Inflation at 3%, unemployment 5%, and a balanced government budget. Their currency is stable and the ireconomy grew 1.6% last year. Their government dealt very firmly with foreign creditors and did not bail out its banks. Icelandic creditors and their welfare system have been protected. Hwoever their government was voted out.
Their voters voted for the same centre-right parties responsible for the pre-crisis boom. These parties, heavily subsidized by the international bankers, who were told to go to hell with their debt, voted as a result of mainstream corporate media disinformation, for the parties who wanted to pay the foreign debtors.Nevertheless the parties of the current government programme:
Implements pro-growth policies.
Firmly oppose EU membership.
Take a firm line against foreign creditors.
With the betrayal of the Irish people of no property, once again by Labour ministers and Union Leadership on the Euro career, gravy train, we can expect the re-election of a Fianna Fail Sinn Fein American form of 'Republicanism' or tea Party if the banks have their usual way. "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
