banks and skanks

Allied Irish Banks has declared losses above two thousand million dollars for the first part of this year.
This is the bank that in defiance both of popular demand and governmental stricture, has insisted on appointing a Chief Executive drawn from within banking's golden circle of parvenu scum and paying him in excess of half a million dollars a year.
Five hundred thousand smackeroos for the big cheese at Allied Irish Banks.
That's the price of good people says Allied Irish Banks.
In spite of the fact that Allied Irish Banks is bust.
In spite of the fact that the bank went bust paying what it calls good people executive salaries they never earned.
All Allied Irish Banks declared profits for the past twenty years were fake.
All Allied Irish Banks declared profits for the past twenty years were based on false accounting.
All Allied Irish Banks declared profits for the past twenty years were contrived by corrupt scoundrels to conceal the reality that the bank hadn't got a bean.
None of these people should be getting more than ten thousand dollars a year.
And that's if we choose to let them draw a salary at all.
They have singlehandedly spent Ireland into the third world.
Here is the news.
No business losing two billion quid every six months can pay its chief executive any salary at all.
Except Allied Irish Banks.
Small businessmen will tell you, when the firm is not bringing in profits, the top man works for nothing.
That's in the real world.
For Allied Irish Banks there's an alternative.
Allied Irish Banks can get free money from Ireland's corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government.
The reason Allied Irish Banks lost two billion quid in the first six months of this year is because in April, Allied Irish Bank unilaterally suspended my overdraft facility.
That's the reason.
That's the only reason.
If they're treating a solid customer like me thusly, then it's quite certain they're treating hundreds of thousands of other people that way too.
It all adds up.
One wonders what sort of customer Allied Irish Banks thinks is entitled to some respect.
Maybe a half witted property developer who owes them five hundred million quid and can never ever hope to repay it.
You know what Allied Irish Banks calls those?
High Net Worth Individuals.
I kid you not.
There is no other reason for Allied Irish Banks continued evaporation as a corporate entity than Allied Irish Banks insulting contempt for its main customer base.
That is to say, me.
I was the main customer base of Allied Irish Banks.
I and people like me who actually pay our bills are the only customers Allied Irish Banks should have cared one whit about.
Allied Irish Banks contemptuous treatment of solid customers who have been with them twenty years and who have always paid their bills, contrasts dramatically with Allied Irish Banks fawning cringeworthy treatment of corrupt property developers and politicians who owe Allied Irish Banks billions of dollars and who have absolutely no intention of repaying any of it.
The developers came to owe Allied Irish Banks billions of dollars because Allied Irish Banks along with Bank Of Ireland and the Ulster Bank had illegally connived with those same developers in an attempt to illegally corner the property market while operating an illegal cartel wherein the three banks illegally colluded in price and procedures fixing in order to effectively and illegally deny the public any real choice or any real competition in terms of banking services, legal, illegal or in between.
I mean I don't want to go casting no aspoyshuns.
Allied Irish Banks exists now only because Ireland's corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government has guaranteed to give Allied Irish Banks billions of dollars of my money regardless of whether Allied Irish Banks has any customers or not.
Bear in mind that the last time Allied Irish Banks went bust thirty years ago, it was Ireland's second largest party Fine Gael under the horrendously self righteous and oleaginous abortionist leader Garret Fitzgerald, who gave Allied Irish Banks limitless amounts of tax payers' money in order to keep it trading, and in return Garret Fitzgerald secured for the Irish people at that time and in perpetuity a grand total of nothing.
You see how it works folks.
Whoever is governing us, Allied Irish Banks ends up in front.
Now that's some social vision.
We are ruled from the shadows.
And I used to wonder where Communism came from.
Interestingly enough the letter Allied Irish Banks sent me cancelling my overdraft facility last April, arrived the same week Ireland's corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government passed legislation guaranteeing Allied Irish Bank billions of dollars in tax payers money for doing nothing.
Allied Irish Bank of course realised that they could get more of my money directly from the corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government in five minutes than they could ever get by providing me with actual banking services over the course of my natural life.
I closed my account with Allied Irish Banks on receipt of their letter cancelling my overdraft facility.
Other people are doing the same.
But until we find a way to stop our corrupt kleptocratic Fianna Fail government bailing out the banks with money borrowed against us and our children and our children's children, until we find a way to stop the thieves of government thieving the treasury to pay off the thieves of banking, until we find a way to stop this high octane criminality, until that very day, the banks will continue to laugh all the way to the government cash disbursement centre.
The wheel is rigged and it's the only game in town.
