It's not all together dissimilar to a scene where a Roman Governor visits a restive province in order to instil some discipline in the local rabble. This is, of course, when the so called Troika visit poor beleaguered Ireland and should the mood overcome them, flog us a little to whip us back into shape. A sad state of affairs to be sure, perhaps if the troika practised the Roman custom of decimation, restricting it to the senior bankers and political class they could actually do us a great service. Start at the top, St Bertie, though instead of every one in 10, lets go with 6 in 10, we're all for efficiency and austerity these days anyway.
