Tony Rochford has been on hunger strike since monday 17th June. He is protesting against the unjust and immoral property tax. Tony Rochford deserves respect for trying to shake us out of the docility and helplessness, which consumed this state in the aftermath of the economic collapse. People like Tony are hard to find in modern Ireland, where the word patriot is demeaned and marginalised, by the economists, europhiles and elites who rule this banana republic with absolute impunity.
