Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

You are, you are. You do what your told. Your exactly what we are talking about here.

I hosted a house party the other night lad. Big follower of the rules alright :rolleyes: It might surprise you to know, I haven't been following all of the rules all of the time since the start.

Well then I apologise then, your posting makes no sense at all to me.

What doesn't make sense?

I’m not sure about that. I have a sub to the Irish Times so I can read the comments. A huge proportion of the comments on COVID articles are anti restrictions and very critical of Tony and the government. Education also matters to them and I think all are starting to see the terrible impact of the school closures.

Back in the day Bob was the leader of a punk band. Outfits that were not out looking for cosy comfy headlines. They were believers that there was no such thing as bad publicity back then and actively courted controversy. I would not put a lot of store in what many of them said then.

No more than I do now with this narrative by some that Tony Holohan is some type of Svengali that by sheer power of will can bend a 32 person committee, a Government and opposition to unquestionably do as he dictates. Even as conspiracy theories go, it sound one of the sillier one to me, but if some wish to believe it that is up to them. Personally I look on it as the few that can see a conspiracy in anything under the sun, and the rest being those that are frustrated and looking for someone to kick with him being the closest to hand.

How do you know what his role is?

Have you seen the job specification?

It'll take a bit more than all of that to convince me to live in Boris Johnson's world of brexit and corruption... Mind you it is tempting

Jobs are a bit more plentiful as well, if I was in the entertainment industry I'd be basing myself in England for sure

There's a documentary about them with large dollops of dubious revisionism of the 1970s but they just wanted to be in London for the music action. It didn't stop him mouthing off about the misery of Ireland any chance he got though, an attitude that prevails in some quarters to this day!

we are a surprisingly compliant people and I have to say I lost a little respect for the hospitality sector, if they dont seem to give a sht about their own survival Im not sure why I should care.

I guess it will be up to the French or German public to lead the way, they have a more bolshi base

It turns out that not every post in the thread is about you.

Shocking I know - stay strong.

This is from London as of today, which is a couple of weeks ahead of us in Omnicron. I'd love if someone showed it, and the footage of thousands of people partying in nightclubs in London for NYE and for the last month, to our government next week when they're deciding on what extra restrictions they'll no doubt be bringing in "because we have to".

Its mind boggling that they're living life largely as normal while we're locked down and theres no difference in our numbers, yet our government continues with this madness.
