    She is a total scumbag
    Why the hell is she allowed to roam anywhere about the country?
    I am heading up north tomorrow to see my family for the first time in God knows how long, and this daft bint can just head anywhere she fancies?!?

    Andy - 24 previous convictions? what are they for?

    anyhows- tremendous video about Pfizer, by Gemma. Pfizer have maybe sixty
    convictions in the U.S. these ain't good boys.
    and Pfizer are now about to vaccinate everyone here. Now, that; - is bad.

    Big Pharma Gemma who won an award from Glaxo Smithkline?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I flabbergasted that a company the size of Pfizer have only 60 convictions in the US.

    I would have figured some exponentially more, given the litigious nature of that country.

    They must be doing a hell of a job making sure they are above board

    Forsa

    Total complete and utter bullshít. There is no member of Forsa in the civil service on a third of that.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I think November Wren is quoting Forsa as the source of their information as opposed to suggesting Forsa staff earn 240k?

    But even at that, I can't find where it says any that civil servant is paid 240,000.

    the highest level on the civil service pay scale is 207K for department secretaries. there are a handful of those out of 300,000 public servants.

    The Garda commissioner gets paid more than that, but he is the only one I believe

    Real World consequences for the Gembots, you love to see it.

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/gemma-odoherty-supporter-abused-and-insulted-gardai-39877196.html
    A CAR passenger who was asked for his name after a garda traffic stop roared obscenities and told them: “I’m a Gemma O’Doherty supporter, I don’t need to tell you nothing,” a court heard.

    Father-of-one Philip Daly (33) hurled abuse at the officer in a public park and asked passers-by to “record the wrongdoing of the guards” on their phones.

    You do know that Forsa represents the lower ranks of the Civil Service, up to HEO level, right? There's no Forsa member on that salary.

    You're making stuff up.

    Just EO, salary maxes out at about 50k.

    I'm sick of saying this but Civil Service salaries are published, it's no secret.

    Link, ironically enough, to Forsa.

    They're playing the long con. The longer they keep you alive, the more drugs and medication you need. If we all died at 40 big pharma would make less money. Evil fúckers making us live longer to feed their own greed.

    Jokes asides, there is in theory at least a framework to hold them accountable. It's imperfection means that it's only partially effective but I don't see how unaccountable grifters are an improvement.

    Dee's supporters were comparing her to Maud Gonne during the week. I'm awaiting a reply after challenging that.

    Dont think she'll be inspiring any great poetry from great poets any time soon.

    Our heroine did stand
    And from her lived streamed ranting
    She earned herself a grand.....

    No, not quite Yeats, is it?

    "Earned"? that is pushing poetic licence to the limit.
