Is it just me or have SF vanished?

after the barrage of abuse she got after taking some precautions after her kids school had some positive cases, I'm not surprised she didn't jump the gun and tell people she was going to be tested (the article describes her seeking a doctor's advice as she had developed head cold symptoms) - sure it wouldn't have served any other purpose than for the same posters to imply she was an attention seeking diva etc (I seen one poster who has actually posted not that long ago in this very thread describe her as Helen of Troy or something similar when she initially made the statement of being unwell).

Imagine the furore around here had she of disclosed she was going to be tested, and it later came back negative.

You specifically said she just said nothing about being sick and disappeared - when given a source as to how that was wrong you move the goalposts as to why did she not say she had covid 19 symptoms (which are akin to a flu/cold) and inform us all that she was being tested.

No doubt she would have been wrong in your eyes no matter what she did.

Lads is this all we have to talk about here?

Mary Lou tested positive for covid 19, few posters here didn't think she had it.

She did and is now recovering and I wish her well, we all do.

Is there anything else to really be said on the matter?

Wait, you don't want people to discuss the president of Sinn Fein in a fupping Sinn Fein thread now?

No doubt had McDonald made it public she was to be tested for covid19 and those tests later emerged to be negative a complete and utter circle jerk would have emerged mocking her, of which you most prob would be in the midst of it up to your oxters.

OK discuss away.

I never even commented her having vovid 19 ever.

Last week or whenever. It doesn't matter to me if she does or not.

But feel free to be outraged at me for absolutely nothing if it makes you feel better.

Why don’t you discuss how much of a mouth piece she is ? Or how she is promising the people of this country something that is impossible to deliver ie. free gaffs . Or how the the Apple money she keeps going on about is not ours to spend . Or how she wants to tax the bollox out of the hard working people of this country and give it to the scrounges . Yeah you won’t discuss it because you haven’t commented on any of that but the second she gets corona your on here on your soap box .

I'm not really sure what way you are interpreting my posts but my stance never changed. She said she had symptoms of a head cold and never mentioned getting tested for coronavirus, just that she was self isolating. Why would she not say she was getting tested?

It's actually f*cking unbelievable how myself and many other posters here were repeatedly mocked when we pointed out the utter hypocrisy and scumbaggery of others blasting Mary Lou for self-isolating after coming down with cold symptoms after her child's school was one of the first confirmed in the country, and when we furthermore stated that if she had carried on as usual despite feeling unwell, those same posters would have been attacking her for putting party and politics before country in risking the health of those around her by not taking precautions.

This thread is deafeningly silent today, now that we know the poor woman has not only been diagnosed formally with COVID-19, but from the sound of it has been through hell from complications arising thereof. Those same posters who have spent the last several weeks posting along the lines of "Ha ha ha poor wee Mary Lou has a little head cold and is using it as an excuse to run away from crisis management and government formation" are nowhere to be found.

It's not often that arguments about politics over the internet actually provoke genuine anger on my part but today is one of those days. You should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves for being such unimaginable douchebags on this subject. The next time you want to accuse the left of playing dirty politics, putting party before country, conflating the political with the personal, etc, look in a God damn mirror and keep it to yourselves. To anyone who wonders why myself and many others on the left accuse neoliberals of utterly heartless politics which literally treats human beings and their real lives as secondary concerns, this is exactly what we're talking about.

Gobsh!tes the lot of ye.

Boris ended up in intensive care, yet he stopped working only for about four days. Not that he's any use, but you have to admire his dedication to work.

Ditto Matt Hancock, who didn't really miss any work-time either. Other leaders have worked through it as well.

Both Boris and Hancock are gob****es, as is Mary-Lou, but at least they have a different work ethic.

Cut the shyte blanch, the only thing you admire about Boris is that he's a Tory toff who are the traditional polar opposites of the shinners and traditional partners of the unionist party's.

Work ethic me bollocks.

Yes, some people end up in intensive care for four days and barely stop working (Boris), others have the symptoms of a common cold and disappear for a month (Mary-Lou).

It is a sad day when I am comparing Boris favourably to any other politician, but in this case it actually is true.

How much do you pay for a social house ? And how much is owed to councils in unpaid rents at the moment?

Given that the SF-led DCC barely collected any of the absurdly low rent for five years, free is probably a fair label.

P.S. any update on that SF TD living in a council house when he can well afford his own place and denying a person on the housing list who really needs a place?

Boris is a gob****e, I said that in my last post, but his work ethic is still higher than Mary-Lou's.

Pneumonia? She didn't say that. Read the report again.

Was she admitted to hospital and into intensive care like Boris and only miss four days of work?

She developed pluricy....that is pneumonia (dry type brought on cv-19 is escaltion of this)

The Doctor informs me that I am no longer infected or infectious, and this is a great relief after weeks of being very unwell. I had a setback in my recovery at the weekend and developed post-viral pleurisy in my right lung. I fully expect to be back at work on Monday."

It takes an espially partisan person to critise someone for not spreading covid infection....but then you couldnt grasp.seriousness of it and critised anyone who wamted paddys day parade cancelled

Blanch did you write a specific sketch from Monty python's holy grail by any chance?

Deputy McDonald said she had experienced a setback in her recovery last weekend, after developing post-viral pleurisy in her right lung. However, she added she was responding very well to medication and fully expects to be back at work on Monday.

Sounds like their was shag all wrong with her in fairness. /Sarcasm.

It won't be long before we see FF and FG back to their sh*t again. No doubt SF could have played the last few weeks a bit better but unfortunately for them Mary Lou was unable to do much.
Tough times ahead.
FFFG will be given the benefit of doubt for many things as the world tries to recover, but if they hit too many obstacles, there may be an election sooner than later.
SF will likely still be the largest party outside of those two, but I would guess that some of the others will have grown a fair bit by then too.
This years election and the greed of the two civil war parties has changed politics in Ireland a lot.
Tough and interesting times ahead. There will be a lot of people waiting for these to fail. Next election results may (hopefully) be a bit more like some of the other European multi-party countries.

"Civil War party"

Werent S.F. knocking around then as well?

We’ll go research it but you don’t need to do you because you well know if your a SF supporter . You probably well know how to “play “ the system and how to get rent allowance and the “hap” claim as an unmarried mother while your fella lives with you and the kids . Listen I grew up in a working class area I know what goes on , I seen plenty of families like ours who their parents won’t worked hard to pay mortgages and bills and I seen plenty of the gougers that spit kids out so they can get a 3 bed house for 20 quid a week because they are unmarried. During the last election that’s the type of ****ers that where relentless on social media promoting SF .

Is it just me or have SF vanished?
