State of the nation

Madam, – Communism is alive and well in Ireland

Madam, – Communism is alive and well in Ireland. The State owns banks, an electricity company, fuel company, gas company, rivers, hotels, hospitals, mobile networks, an airline, train and bus companies, training facilities, roads, vacant sites, skeleton estates, etc. How soon will the common man assert his true respect and shake off the shackles?

Restore true capitalism.

– Yours, etc,
