Free cheese. The Irish government, about to whack its people with some severe austerity measures, has decided to offer the public some delicious cheese - free. From The Guardian:
Brendan Smith, the agriculture minister, announced a European Union-funded scheme today that will enable the country to tuck into the EU's cheese mountain. Some 53 tonnes of fresh cheddar will be distributed from 15 November with collection centres in towns and cities around the country.
The minister said the scheme was "an important means of contributing towards the well-being of the most deprived citizens in the community".
"I am very conscious that many people find themselves in difficult circumstances at present and I want to commend the work of the many charitable organisations who are working on the frontline to bring what comfort and relief they can," said Smith.
They should be giving out Limburger. It's pungent odor better conveys the intended message: Fuck You!
ReplyDeleteYou rotten Philistine, it's fine cheddar they're handing out and well aged at that on the EU's mountain of surplus, subsidized cheese. The message, however, is as you suggest.
