Letter Writing Campaign

So this week we had The Budget and although it hasn't had a massive effect on me directly, it will indirectly which is exactly what the boyos in the Dail want I suppose. We won't all storm the place right away, it'll take a while for us to realise how much worse off we are and THEN we'll storm the gates.

Although, let's be honest, we're too fucking interested in what's happening on X Factor to be arsed storming the gates.

This got me thinking though, we're clearly not very good at dealing with confrontation as a nation. I dunno what's happened to us, we've clearly been eating too many goat's cheese tartlets and take away coffees and now we're just a bunch of apathetic little nancies who can't spell and have a nervous breakdown when it snows. Would Michael Collins be caught on the news slipping on ice and smacking his head against a wall? Never! Would Dev be caught dead in BT2's? I think not! It's time for us as a nation to stand up to our oppressors and tell them to fuck the hell off! Enda and the gang need to stand up and say 'Shag the bank guarantee, let's take back the taxpayers's money from the bankers' grubby little hands! Let's ensure no one ever has to die on a trolley in a hosital corridor! Let's make sure our young people get jobs! Let's encourage investment! Let's bring down VAT to encourage spending! AND let's tackle landlords and their greedy upwards only rent clauses in the retail sector!'

But, alas, Enda and the gang don't have the balls. And unfortunately we're not very good at getting out and protesting. So, what I propose, dear friends is that we start a letter writing campaign. But not just any letter writing campaign, oh no.

Step 1: Every one of us goes out and buys a big box of ping pong balls. Divide into pairs. Decorate/put in bags if you so wish.

Step 2: Select a TD who has let you down/gone back on election promises.

Step 3: Send selected TD a pair of balls with a note saying something like 'I believe you might have lost these?'

Step 4: Do it every week til they crack.

Personally, I think it's ingenius. But that's just me. Can anyone recommend a place that sells ping pong balls in bulk?
