Phil Hogan Continues To Huff & Puff

Once upon a time there were three little pigs that left home to seek their fortunes. Before they left, their mother told them “Whatever you do, do it the best that you can, because that’s the way to get along in this world.”

The first little pig built his house out of straw because it was the easiest & warmest. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. This was stronger than a straw house. The third little pig built his house out of bricks.

Then one night the big bad greedy wolf, who loved to eat fat little piggy’s, came along and saw the first little pig in his house of straw. He said “Let me in, Let me in, little pig or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!”

Ok, the rest is storybook history, known to all.

Recently a real live greedy little wolf, named Phil Hogan announced that he was going to blow our houses down. Well not blow down exactly, it was worse than that, he intends to place a tax on our buildings, and charge a tax on a basic human God given right, namely our water supply, which he and others before him have continuously poisoned for years.

This little Fine Gael Wolf, on being refused by the ‘great unwashed,’ has begun imitating Fianna Fail tones reminiscent of the late Charley Haughey:-

• If we do not pay he will access our bank accounts and remove €100 plus interest.
• He will force employers to deduct it from our wages, pensions and Social Welfare payments. (Would this breach the Croke Park agreement?)
• His latest Nazi bullyboy tactic; he has instructed Councils to send out teams of officials to knock on doors to threaten and intimidate us. (Obviously German IMF officials, over coffee, told him their version of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, carried out by SA storm troopers and civilians.) By next weekend do not be surprised if offenders, who fail to comply with his demands, are instructed to wear house shaped badges, sewn unto their outer garments; The Red house shape for non compliant politicians, liberals, communists, trade unionists,  social democrats, socialists, Freemasons, and anarchists. The Green house shape for non compliant professional criminals. Blue for emigrants. Pink for sexual offenders, homosexual men, zoophiles and paedophiles. Purple for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Black for the work shy, the members of the travelling community, the mentally ill, prostitutes, lesbians, drug dealers, beggars and alcoholics. Yes Nazi Germany & Phil would sort out this country, given half a chance.

When his storm troopers come calling soon, how are you going to defend your actions? My advice is reply using the words, of Minister Phil Hogan himself, when he was asked in 2009 to take a 10% pay cut on his estimated €200,000 salary & expences. Quote: “My personal circumstances don’t allow that at the moment.” Of course if you can’t remember these words, quote the words of the three little pigs, “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.”
