Perhaps if more people had followed the guidelines then the country wouldn't be in level 3 and heading for more.

As regards influenza

The argument about if people followed the guidelines is a canard. Tighter restrictions in 19 of 20 northern towns in Britain hasn't helped.

The flag that ANTIFA use is the same as a flag that was used by Communists (the ideology with most murders to its name) in Germany in the 1930s.
Of course Communism and Nazism are actually very similar, which is clear from Horst Wessel's writing.

That has nothing to do with what I said

The Courts, for some time now have made some of their decisions from a positivist and not Natural Law basis.

Toby Young, nice. Did Toby draw that graph himself? I don't see any source listed.

Thr Black and red flag is an anarchist flag, anarchists have no truck with communism

Just add black and it's pretty much the same.

It's clearly taken from a newspaper. I agree however that he should have given a source.

I'd put money on the paper being The Daily Mail and the source being someone in the graphics department at The Daily Mail, tbh.

This argument has been put to bed by Irish jurists who accept precedence

I'm not a fan of the Daily Mail (or Guardian) but I would presume that they would take their data from an official source.

You can add any any colour you like, it is not the same

Flags can look similar without any real connection in meaning.

The Irish Tri-Colour is similar to the Ivory Coast Tri-Colour but Ireland and the Ivory Coast are not the same country.

Sometimes a flag is just a flag, no need to look for deeper meanings that don't exist.

What precedence in this State? One can't argue the TB situation because we did not have the same blanket rules for the general public in that situation - it was much more targeted.

I'm fine with people disagreeing with me but anyone arguing in good faith has to acknowledge that the two are extremely alike.

Tb has nothing to do with legal case precedence pertaining to covid unless you can cite a case. You are waffling

The both have two flags in a circle with Anti-fascist Action written on them (obviously the original is in German).

Check out the anarchist flags from the Spanish civil war... The A symbol is a 1960s one and then adopted by then anarcho punk movement, and various autonomy groups in the 1980s

Anyway I leave you all with this which should give people hope.

It certainly looked from the news that the counter protestors ie the left wing crew were the main aggressors and were mad for trouble but a couple of belts from a garda baton seemed to put these nutters back in their box .

I see it more as one side whining about having to wear a mask when they shop (purportedly) and the other side protecting peoples right to life, the most important civil liberty. That's what it comes down to really.

or is the mask a deference to Trump?. [i'm ok with Trump]. But, it must be remembered that Trump is totally for: the USA. (and we must bear that in mind, and be ready).

The only thing trump is for is trump, pretty delusional to think otherwise.

That people still think he's for the American public is either disengenuous or pure stupidity. That Cnut has only EVER been about himself and what others could do for him.

SimilarIty both gems and the likes of Barrett and the other fu*kknuckles in the NP couldn't give a f*ck about their supporters other than what ever they can get from them. But like most trump supporters their too far gone to see that, or just ignore reality.

Dee is a tremendous stalwart woman. it takes grim courage and strength to address the vice grip of well-heeled authority, on vulnerable situations and persons. and she has it.

@DeeblesMcPheebles. "starting" to resemble the UK and US.?? Sinn Fein [and Fianna Fail] dragged down into this country: M+S, Homebase, Next, Tesco, PC World, Harvey Norman, Costa, Starbucks, TKMax, ............
Have Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail given this country away to foreign business?

the country has been almost overwhelmed in an invasion of UK and US; and these two for the long-term are thinking about their own nations.

There is something spectacularly grim about a woman in her more mature years deliberately coughing on people during a panademic of a potentially fatal respiratory virus, alright. It's a vile and disgusting thing to do at anytime and it reveals a multitude about anyone who would do that.

The dollar is weakening, constantly. And as for Dee...I'm on my phone but the emojis would be cry laughing face to infinity, little scummy grifter.
