Lisbon Treaty

On Saturday an elderly lady was distributing leaflets outside the Swan Centre in Dublin's Rathmines on the upcoming Lisbon Treaty referendum. She was handing out material from Coir, which is advocating a No vote.

Again before this referendum there is an apparent silence on the ground from the Yes campaign. And has anyone seen a Government representative selling the Yes vote?

What is it about the Government? Is it laziness, incompetence, fear or arrogance that has them locked up behind their bunkers?

We are told the State is borrowing €400 million a week and the people who are telling us that take off and go on holiday. Does that make sense?

How far away are we from civil unrest?
