Eddie to continue government pasting
Don’t forget to tune in to Eddie Hobbs tonight at 9.30pm on RTE1.
His unctuous demeanour is apparently pulling in enough numbers to make Fianna Fáil sit up and take notice that their voter base is being urged to think about where their money goes. Donie Cassidy (he of the dodgy wig from Westmeath) is going to haul Hobbs up before an Oireactas committee if he doesn’t stop bad mouthing the government.
Of course, they’ll try and discredit Hobb’s story about the Trim petition for a second supermarket. The number of signatures quoted by Hobbs did strike me as being particularly high. But this is a minor point. Let’s look at the more important statistics and analyse their validity. One supermarket story cannot overshadow the bigger picture – namely the affect of competition on price.
Let’s look and listen tonight to the figures regarding the gross overspending that this government is guilty of. These figures will not be disputable. The double whammy is that nobody can attest to having received good service and value for money after using our public transport or roads.
It is unfortunate however, that the show has not given an opportunity to the establishment to rebut all of these claims. In my mind, it would give further credence to the claim that a rip-off republic exists were the politicians allowed to give lame excuses on air.
You could save 2c on your electricity bill by not tuning in tonight, but you could also find out where your money gets recklessly spent.
