Inspired by an article in the Financial Times............
In Ireland, when people say "Cute Hoor", they mean someone who always puts himself first.
They say "You'd want to watch him, that fella, he's a cute hoor, he'll try to pull the wool over your eyes, that fella".
(Cute hoors learn the law to find a way to wriggle round it, they go by the letter not the spirit and love legal technicalities. Drug dealers and other merchants of death do the same).
Cute hoor politicians, cute hoor property developers and cute hoor bankers got us into the mess we are in, and they want us to pay for it.
At one time, Liam Carroll, property developer, was responsible for most of the building going on in Dublin. Frank McDonald, writing on the environment, said "They are our future slums". Tiny apartments, difficult to get into, and furniture won't fit up the stairs.
Cute hoor politicians give their friends million euro handshakes when they have been found out for fiddling, on the basis that this is the norm. They do this because they don't want them spilling the beans.
What about all the pensions they give themselves while they are still on the payroll?
George Orwell said the reason politicians speak the way they do is to conceal the fact that they are saying nothing.
We vote for them.
Who will protect us from ourselves?
