    Thankfully her "huge" numbers of viewers for these lunatic livestreams are pathetically small. 0.04% of the population.

    Whats people's problems with 5G?

    5G is essentially WiFi? I wouldn't presume to know what's in the mind of Gemma (and her website doesn't actually go into detail on anything to presumably head off actual debate) but I'd guess it's a combination of "they'll use it to track you everywhere" and "the WiFi radiation will give us all autism if we haven't already got it from the vaccines!"

    It's funny, when Irish Water were still trying to meter houses, we had an anti-water charges campaigner call to the door with a petition and a list of 20 reasons why we should oppose charges and meters being installed. Now, I've no problem at all with opposition to water charges, but sprinkled through the sensible and logical reasons were gems such as:

    * "Smart meters will not work in the event of an EMP." I asked the campaigner if they knew what an EMP was. They didn't.

    * "Radio waves from the smart meters are a form of radiation and may cause cancer." I asked if they had a smartphone, or WiFi in their house. They had both...

    5G is not wifi or 5Ghz.

    5G refers to a cellular standard. ie data on your phone when youre out and about.

    5Ghz (gigahertz) is a frequency on your wireless router. Most wifi and bluetooth operate on 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. Think of it like a radio station frequency.

    5G is just marketing speak for the 5th generation of cellular standard which has nothing to do with wifi operating on 5Ghz.

    Gemma and the crazies are (apparently) worried that its going to fry our brains via cell tower radiation but we've had towers since 2G, for 30 years.

    Shes a complete idiot.

    So she's putting forward a thesis that communists infiltrated that Catholic church in the 20's-30's and they started the sexual abuse in order to destabilise the organisation from within?

    That's as far as I got.

    Well Pope Francis says that Satan did it, so who's crazier?

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Same.

    Her live streams are crazy long - almost two hours. I'd imagine a lot of them are people who dip in for a minute or two like that.

    I've posted previously that I don't think Gemma is crazy. I don't know anything about the Pope, don't care to either.

    personally my problem is how long I'll have to wait for the rollout. And even then some how I'll be guaranteed to be living in the one spot where I won't get reception.

    Two spoofers talking about a conspiracy theory?

    Life is way to short to indulge that kind of nonsense.

    Thats what conspiracy nutters do. With an absence of fact or proof they chuck large volumes at things hoping some of it sticks or hope it'll muddy the waters a bit.

    Worth pointing out to any youngsters here that back around 1993-1996 mobile phone masts was a big issue, the sort of thing where Prime Time would open with an industry expert up against some concerned citizen who wanted masts stopped until science had proven that they were 100% safe.
    And usually accompanied by vox pops where people threatened to tear them down if they were put up within 500metres of schools, and didn't want them spoiling the look of their village.
    So nothing really changes, it was probably the same attitude to electric poles 80 years ago.

    Ah theres a lot of bots and crazy Americans there too

    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.

    Yeah if you look at her social media followers youll see a lot with zero content andfollowers.

    Shes a national embarrassment.

    I see Gemma deliberately lied again about the ISIS woman. How do people still fall for her absolute bull shï ttery

    It's called "confirmation bias", the same reason you get drive-by posters dumping an hours-long video about how the west is doomed.

    Or as George Costanza says, it’s not a lie if you believe it.

    It will be positively Trumpian. 30000 people crammed into a ballroom fit for 200 people.

    At least it’s bi-partisan: right wing paranoia and left wing hippyism/anti corporation.

    G'OD: "And I say that we should have a MEDIC-LED health service!"

    *applause*

    G'OD: "Turf out all the managers from the HSE!"

    *rapturous applause*

    G'OD: "Ban the vaccines and big pharma!"

    Voice from the back: "But Gemma - it's actually medics that say vaccines save lives?!"

    G'OD: "We'll TURF OUT those medics and get new ones!"

    Less of that or number 11 won’t apply to you.

    The red carpet we're rolling out for a Jihadi bride is like something Gemma would be accused of making up.

    I was fairly sure item number 4 once mentionned 'end evictions'. Anyway, today it speaks of limiting evictions. Which is a step in the right direction. Because a world with no evictions (or threat of evictions) would be a world without private property, and in the end game it's a world of communism.
