Gotta love the lockdown loving tools who think we couldn't be Australia / NZ because of something something EU something something Northern border.

It is quite simple. 75% plus of our current cases originate from having been brought in from the UK in mid December onwards.

If Mehole had told the London expats they couldn't come home, we would have stayed largely re opened post Christmas.

By the time I get back to work I will be down circa 4000 to 6000 euro in lost take home earnings.

Mehole should be made to lose out of his own pocket.

Britain on course for indoor drinking by May. Our gimps telling us we just might be allowed a beer garden at some stage in the summer.

i think they just meant beers in the park or someones back garden like last May/June not even actual beer gardens from pubs being open.

Drive 2 hours up the road also, NI will follow whatever the UK plan is, we will probably have people heading up every weekend over the summer, pressure mounting over there to stop restrictions at the end of May.

I'll be heading up to friends in Bangor once they re-open. I'll be vaccinated by then so it'll be all systems go.

I'll be going North on the train for all dayers every Saturday the second they plough ahead with it while Taliban Tony sits on his hole trying to work out how many more weeks can he drag it out to shut down a few more pubs for good.

Wait, do you want the border open or closed? It seems like In your attempt to come up with kitsch nicknames you've lost your point.

His point seems to be contradicting himself in successive posts. No coherence whatsoever.

I want them closed. But if the government won't play ball we have to take matters into our own hands.

So if the pubs in NI opened next week, and the government introduced border controls, you'd respect that?

Would be hard to respect the government breaking international law.

I'd try get around it. I followed, to an absolute T, every single rule of lockdown from March to May. Didn't even visit the missus. I was under some idiotic impression that if we all pulled together we would beat this thing.

We did beat this thing in June. But the government thought that Sorcha and Ronan going to their holiday home in Provence, Vasile the meat plant worker going to a wedding in Romania, and 5000 BLM wasters at the US embassy having their party, was more important than my sacrifice.

So I couldn't give a phuck for their rules any more. Whoever came up with the Hold Firm slogan should be publicly flogged.

The NPHET war on pubs has never had anything to do with public health and were the most stringent anywhere on Earth. Phuck them.

The government doesn't seem to realise that the virus numbers will be through the floor by April, as long as the travel restrictions are implemented.

They don't want to see a dramatic fall off in cases as it will just prove the restrictions should have been done, and would have worked, last summer.

Now, far be it from me to accuse you of being a doom monger, but Where's your issue with that article? Do you have an opinion or did you just get mad at a headline again?

Nothing in that article that you linked to is surprising .Nobody realistically believes that the hospitality sector will be reopening before the May bank holiday weekend so what`s your issue?

And who are you exactly to speak on behalf of the whole country? I'd say plenty of people harboured some hope that the hospitality industry might open before May, perhaps the thousands employed in hospitality, perhaps the hundreds of thousands confined to 5k and hoping for an outlet. But no, maybe they're all happy out to stay put on the PUP and wait another few months. Which scenario is more likely I wonder.

'Currently', Level 4 allows limited numbers drinking in beer gardens (no food needed)

Or without binning the Good Friday Agreement.

Remember too many in the North work in the south and vice versa. There'd be rucktions.

Very ambitious from the government

A phased indoor reopening of the sector may be possible later in the summer, depending on the level of the virus in circulation.
