A nice plain "keep 'em out" T-Shirt so

[dalymount]

I have no respect for the likes of Loraine Clifford Lee, Corona Murphy, or Peter casey. These fukkers soon withdrew their comments and apologized profusely for what they had said about Muslims, nigg*RS, and cream crackers due to pressure from the bleeding hearts brigade, and the fukkin left wing liberal crap merchants. They have no balls. At least in consistent in my statements that I don't want foreigners here claiming Irish citizenship, and diluting my national Identity. Ratty is another one for always telling us how great foreigners are, so let's see when the recession kicks in and there is fukk all work out there will be STILL be as welcoming

I just take them as I find them, DM... and my experience has been a largely positive one. During the last recession I disliked all post entry liberalisation drivers not just those of a different race/colour. They all had the cheek to complain that the business they got for a mere 5 large was no longer viable, FFS I've lost more on the turn of a card. Of course, the blame lies with the authorities who used the trade as they used Semi-States in years gone by i.e. to keep the unemployable occupied. However, I'm in a better financial position now than then so I don't think I'll give a bollix when the next recession hits.

There wasnt enough taxis in dublin ...then it went ridiculously over supplied.....

[Horse]

Well said octy!

[Rat Catcher]

There was plenty enough taxis and a reasonable scheme to increase supply in place. What was lacking was alternative forms of public transport at certain times of the day/night. In any event, folk enjoyed queuing for cabs, it was part of the fabric of the city and a way of life, a rich cultural experience if you will.

You didn't have to buy a new motor, back then there wasn't even a 3 year rule so any clapped out shitebox would suffice. It was perfectly obvious that the authorities had no regard for how the next recession would impact the trade, they were only interested in maximising boom time demand to avoid investing in any other form of public transport and employing the unemployable. We have some artificial barriers to entry this time round so the next recession might not be quite as bad... but it will come and it will hurt those who aren't prepared.
