#EuRef - Fiscal Compact Treaty: Wording for Irish Constitution
The following are (some of) the amendments to be placed in the Irish Constitution IF the Fiscal Compact Treaty is passed. (These were originally created by William Wall).
- Article 1 - The Irish nation hereby abrogates its inalienable, indefeasible, and sovereign right to choose its own form of Government, to determine its relations with other nations, and to develop its life, political, economic and cultural, in accordance with its own genius and traditions and confers these rights on another crowd altogether.
- Article 5 - Ireland is a dependancy of the International Monetary Fund with a lot of really nice pubs.
- Article 6 - All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under the IMF, from the EU, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the ruling class at present constituted as multinational corporations.
Sincerest Apologies for Yesterday's Email Fiasco
Hi Folks,
Really sorry about the cock-up with the emails yesterday.
I put the email list address in the "to" field instead of the "bcc" field, which meant that when people hit reply it sent to the full list instead of just to me. This list has now been removed from our account. It wasn't removed earlier as I was working on removing names from the list as soon as people were requesting same, which I thought would have been the quickest way to sort the issue.

(and since that was so good - here's another one explaining what a promissory note is and why YOU should be so annoyed about it.)

No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
