Simplistic linear thinking by Rachel from Accounts and the Treasury spawned this Budget from hell, says David Craig. A systems thinker would have known it would send the economy into a doom loop of recession and decline.

If you thought eco zealot Ed Miliband was bad, wait until you get a load of the Climate Change and Nature Bill, which seeks to turbocharge the Net Zero agenda and already has the support of 192 MPs. Paul Homewood has the skinny.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14The very respectable garda, on duty came over to have a polite word in our ear about removing the steaming pile of horseshit from in front of the American Embassy. apparently it is not illegal to drop a banner saying
'US Assurances on rendition flights' and cover it in s****, but it is illegal to leave it there and walk away, (under littering laws). thus a sub-committee had to be formed to remove the smelly substance and bring it to the tulip beds at the crossroads.The flashing was unintentional, but I've never seen a leer like that on a Garda's face. The kids had great fun, thanks everyone!!!!!
I hope to see more images up on the site and in other places over the next few days.
More photos please.
After the initial 'meet and greet', we strung some of the banners in front of Dev's cross and held the others for the amusement of passing motorists. Food was laid out and the kids were six deep at the box of chocolate biscuits. (None for me so).
The 'Walls of Limerick' was performed along with some unrecognisable dances and a lot of freestyle jumping around. No injuries to report so I'd call it a success.
"I've got a bag of horse shite in me car," is not a normal greeting. But one of our resourceful (and highly Unmanageable) women made good on that claim and even suggested a use for it...
Settling Down For A Picnic
Dancing At The Crossroads ...
And At The Embassy
Horse Shite - Glad That's Not My Banner!
... at the US embassy, it was back to the picnic for those who had the stomach for it. Passing Dev's cross on the way back we noticed its bare base! The Unmanageable ladieezz were shocked at such a public display of nudity - none of us wishing to gaze at Dev's bare plinth, glinting at us in the sunlight with a lascivious gleam. For the sake of modesty and public decency (Dev was big into those) a skirt was procured and wrapped around the offending member. Order restored, we posed happily. Then returned once again to our guests from Revolt video (who had found the balloons) ... and our sandwiches with the crusts cut off ... and our peppermint tea on the lawn...
As one does...

Looks like a great day! Wish I could have made it along,
I was there in spirit.
A really creative and eyecatching event! Should be more of this. The horseshit should certainly be used more often. Well done all!!
I was very disappointed that we had to remove the 'shite' from its rightful place on the doorstep of the US Embassy. Like many others I believe it should have remained.
Guards approched us on the Green about an hour later and told us we would be charged under the Litter Act. We asked if he felt the US Government would consider removing their depleted Uranium from Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. We were told this was Irish soil, so we then enquired that being so as a neutral country, why the US were landing their Warplanes in Shannon and Baldonnel. He had no answer and walked off.
Some of those amongst felt the flowers were more worthy of this gift. The Litter Act... Posters banned in Dublin, What next? Will they be fining the horses on Stephens Green or even the Guards... Come to think of it Stephen's Green is nice and close to Kildare Street.....
Revolt Video of the day coming soon.....
Cheers to all present. A great day was had by all...
A childs picnic after handling a mound of shit? Sounds dreadfully unhygienic to me.
You sound like a dreadfully boring cop to me....
The picnic occured before the horseshit.
the horseshit was the icing on the cherry-cake.
The dancing occured during the horseshit (and after)
all those stinky hands......
(another two actions coming soon..........)
Now that's been sorted for you Leila. If hygene is your real concern and not comfy first world cynicism maybe you coul start addressing the tactic of U.S. Naval & Air Force bombardment over Iraq.
Harvard University claims that the U.S. Navy & Air Force purposely targetted water treatment and sewage treament works knowing by bombing them, they would unleash plagues of gaestro, cholera & typhoid.
Sounds like germ warfare to me!
Resposting this pic as it was deleted from the database (and this article) by the tech gremlins
actually moving the shite over to the flowers ourselves worked better in the end; the very distinct aroma of shit that usually emminates from the offices of the powerful elite was met with the somewhat sweeter natural 100% organic flower fertilising version. and the tulips were delighted. if we'd left it it would've been mindlessly landfilled no doubt.
Anyone remember the motion in Killarney to have the horses wear nappies as they ferry the tourists around? the day may come...
nothing is too ludicrous for the office monkeys.
It was a really positive, inspiring, energetic day. More women and children the better I reckon!
Looking forward to more unmanagability.
As a liberal, female American citizen who is VERY pro irish, (and hoping to become an Irish citizen in the next few years), I would like to ecstatically applaud your steaming pile of horse shite in front of the US embassy. I fear it might have gone to better use on President Shrub's desk, however, I imagine it might be tough to get through customs. Well done ladies!
