    Yes, but dont forget Cummings was also an incredible cnut.

    He may well have been...

    If you think of journalists, all those people we see on tv, hear on radio and read online, as thick skulled idiots with egos we mightn't be so quick to believe what we consume...that incident was especially pertinent...the hysteria they generated about him breaking the restrictions was generated whilst breaking the restrictions.

    Some bunch of pond bottom feeders p photoed outside rte today.

    Why are people so willing to advertise their ignorance and stupidity


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,493 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    So do you think this happens much?

    And could you elaborate on this?

    Much or otherwise is neither here nor there... laws that have been enacted need to be enforced 100% by the Gardaí... 100% of the time without exception...

    That level of stupidity includes an absence of context and self-awareness.

    Morons.

    bottom feeders is an apt description..

    Out to take as per usual instead of ready and willing to be part of a solution.. everyone of them would have been first in the Q to get their pandemic payment but the last in the Q to actually muck in as regards doing what they need to do during this deadly pandemic..

    Imagine how much less crime there would be if there was visible Garda presence on our streets everyday.

    It wouldn't even need anywhere near the amount on patrol today.

    Imagine the first tax bill :P

    There comes a point where I think all you can do is laugh and shake your head.

    One woman being arrested for breaking the rules while dozens gather round breaking the rules in full view of police and that's all good.

    If they are all breaking the rules there then the only real reason to single her out is that she is criticizing the government basically.

    Strange scenes.

    So she's isolated, surrounded by cops and the cops are then surrounded by a crowd of reporters?

    Correction

    RTE is the relatives of the people who sold their souls many years ago. Not sure what it makes the current generation?

    Just heard that there too. A fairly mixed bag of views a few of whom I'd feel fairly sad for and some id have some sympathy with. A lot of folks out there need life to go back to normal.

    There behavior certainly is...They have freedom... by their logic and this logic I should be allowed go 200kmh in my car down the M50... by their logic I should not have to stop at red traffic light... i go through a red, hit a mother and child...I’ll argue... “ it’s my right, to have freedom of movement, go where I’m going, regardless of the health impact to society that is caused by my carelessness.....measures and rules, to keep people safe ? Not my problem..

    I don’t think people should be gathering at this time but I found those images on the news of steel structures across roads deeply disturbing


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,493 ✭✭✭✭Strumms

    Then they can muck in with the rest of us, behave, adhere to restrictions, be team players, be responsible human beings, be caring and NOT ‘all about me’ whingebags... that’s the pathway to leading a normal life... they can join the right pathway or paddle their own selfish canoe, and hopefully sink, it’s about all they deserve.

    Yeah and if they'd just stay the **** at home another few weeks until we get the spread of cases down, we'd all be better off. The lack of awareness of basic cause and effect is retarded. Did Christmas teach them nothing??

    Yeah wanting to maybe eat outside a cafe or get your hair cut is the exact same as wanting to run over a mother and child. What a bizarre take.

    Why?
    I would say you are easily disturbed if that is the case.

    Good lad, keep up the disingenuous hogwash, rather see through at this stage. ;)
