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

I heard him. I actually had to turn off the radio.

So boys and girls, I remember this day 2 years ago when it all really kicked off! Since then we’ve been trough an emotional rollercoaster with some hysterical nonsense, honest debate and Clair Byrne stealing a living!

With today being paddy’s day, two years later… I bid this thread farewell! Hope t’f*k I’m not back anytime soon!

St. Patrick's Day definitely happened last year and the year before.

Fat shaming is another one of those nonsense terms that is just another way for some to deflect from their own choices and responsibilities by blaming others for not buying into it.

Was not one of the excuses used for restrictions by some people that Irish obesity levels meant we had a higher risk level.

Can't have it both ways. Luckily though Covid was and is thankfully of little real risk to the vast majority of people who catch it.

Correct.

There are people in this country,quite a lot in reality,who DO regard the State Broadcaster as a trustworthy and reliable source of information,guidance and opinion.

This makes RTE as unique as the Russian State Broadcasters who are so denigrated for their coverage of Ukrainian events.

When RTE's insistance upon universal Facecoverings is beamed into every household in Ireland,then,as is well proven,shytt sticks !

If RTE were to be democratic about it,then they would "Recommend" this practice to their audiences,rather than promoting this Universal Compliance illusion,so beloved of Communist Regime's Worldwide...for reference,take a peep at Chinese,Russian or North Korean Communist Party gatherings....mass applause for the Leader...those not clapping...disappear.

For a cultured Western Democracy,we really should be doing more to call the likes of RTE and it's editors & producers for their resistance to democratic broadcasting principles ?

Largely due to these same Admin types now losing the very valuable easy indicator of Compliance which facecoverings represent.

Facecovering wearing is dropping at a nice level rate,as more people come to realize how Covid (of ANY type) represents little threat to them or their families & friends.

The Senator/Doctor will be glued to the Statistic machine this week,for rises in cases,hospitalizations and in their twisted World,even Deaths,if these can be used to further the Fear doctrine which underpins their new way of earning a crust.

Get a Grip,Official Ireland,craziness in Covid terms is best left to those who do it best....in this case the Likes of the Chinese,still attempting to prove how blowing clouds of vapour into the open air will save their particular planet ! 😲

The people in the photo arent even wearing the type of mask that offers any protection. It's become like a talisman for these people to ward off the evil virus and to signal how virtuous they are and unlike "those people". Actually I would say it's more about the latter at this point

Ah the mail online. Unfortunately as covid is with us for the long haul these soundbites will never go away either. We have to learn to ignore most of the media click bates.. Don’t worry America will never go into a lockdown., definately not because of Omicron.

Understood perfectly. I just don't buy into hyperbole the way some of you do.

She's being wittering on like this for ages!
