Ireland to remain in cryogenic stasis until euro recovers

The extreme weather conditions affecting Ireland were revealed today to be part of a secret agreement between the soon-to-be-ex Irish Government, the EU and the IMF to try and stabilise the euro.

An exclusive dual undercover investigation by The Spanner and Wikileaky, which included paying bribes of refresher bars (The big ones from the 90’s not the current midget ones) and vague promises of procuring attractive ladies phone numbers has discovered the shocking truth: We are being frozen to prevent our toxic economy doing any more damage to the single currency.

Whistle-blowing website Wikileaky intercepted a number of classified communications between the EU and the IMF in which they discussed “Freezing the problem at source until the wider Eurozone has stabilised.

Our Brussells source Shallow Cough confirmed the theory, saying: “There’s no doubt that the EU and IMF are behind the cold snap. They’ve purchased Siberian air from Vladimir Putin and pumped it over Ireland in the hope that they can freeze you for a couple of years, giving the Eurozone a chance to regain its strength before dealing with the mess your incompetent bankers and political leaders have created.

“Britian raised a brief objection as they were concerned about safety for their stag dos and hen parties if Dublin was under 10 feet of snow, but an agreement has been reached to relocate Temple Bar to central London for the period of the freeze. It makes sense, it’s mostly Brits hanging around there anyhow.

While scientists have successfully frozen and thawed out smaller animals such as flies and mice, this is the first time a mass freezing of humans has been attempted.

Shockingly, rather than raising the health issue with the EU and IMF it appears the Government were only to happy to agree to the freeze.

“Your Feeny Fail politicians are as we say in Belgium, dirty f**king weasels,” said Shallow Cough. “They have agreed to the freeze in the hope that the Irish citizens will have forgotten everything by the time they are rethawed. They plan to blame it all on Enda Kenny and take credit for the re-emergence of the sun. Schwine!”

Topless Ukraine activist grabs Euro Cup

(Reuters) - A Ukrainian women's rights activist stripped to the waist and seized the Euro-2012 soccer trophy while it was on public display in Kiev on Saturday in a protest against the forthcoming month-long championship.

 
The young woman, 23-year-old Yulia Kovpachik, is a member of the Kiev-based Femen women's rights group which believes the Euro-2012 soccer tournament being played in Ukraine next month will encourage sex tourism.
 
Kovpachik strode up to the silver, 60 centimeter (two feet) high trophy, which was on display as a tourist attraction in an open air exhibition in central Kiev, ostensibly to be photographed alongside it like hundreds of other sightseers.
 
But she then pulled down her red T-shirt to reveal the words "Fuck Euro 2012" scrawled on her torso. As she grabbed hold of the cup with both hands, she was seized by security guards, who appeared to have had advanced warning of the protest.
 
They covered her with a sheet and took her off to a waiting police car.
 
The protest appeared to be the first action in a campaign against the championship by Femen which regularly stages bare-breast protests in Ukraine - and sometimes beyond - to highlight what it sees as political injustice, social abuse and the exploitation of women in Ukraine.
 
Femen says Euro-2012, which Ukraine is co-hosting with Poland next month with the final in Kiev on July 1, will be a magnet for sex tourists - one of the group's main targets - and will feed a booming sex industry.
 
About one million foreign tourists are expected in Ukraine for the Euros.
 
Organisers said the 8 kg (17 lbs) Henri Delaunay cup was undamaged though Kovpachik appeared to topple back under its weight as security guards seized her. It was still on show in late evening.
 
Femen's spokeswoman, Anna Gutsol, said Kovpachik, who staged the protest on her 23rd birthday, was released after being told she would have to appear in court on Monday on a charge of hooliganism. The charge carries a maximum fine of 800 hryvnias ($100) and 15 days detention.
 
Conscious of Ukraine's growing reputation as a new destination for sex tourism, Euro-2012 organisers say they are taking steps to curb prostitution during the month-long tournament.
 
After Kovpachik's protest, Femen activist Olexandra Shevchenko told reporters: "We came here today to stop this Euro fan low-life from making a bordello out of Ukraine."
 
City authorities have mounted the trophy in a temporary exhibition area on Kiev's Independence Square.
 
Hundreds of sightseers were queuing up under the blazing sun for souvenir photographs alongside it when Kovpachik staged her demonstration.
 
Independence Square itself will be the centre of a huge 'fan-zone' during Euro-2012, capable of holding tens of thousands of football supporters.
