You don't have to look too far, even here on boards, to see examples of these behaviours and attitudes :rolleyes:

Fortunately, the country isnt run by opinions posted on boards. But are you saying that you have no authoritative data to backup your claim ?

- people receiving PUP at a rate much higher then their actual wages were

Do I look like a data analyst for NPHET, don't tell me you don't know anyone who is absolutely living their best life with lockdown and would happily stay this way forever?

There's plenty of them around.

Definitely getting oddly sinister when you start making lists to identify the “other”

To be honest, no, you dont. Thats why I was thinking that you were just making claims without any basis for them.

No I dont. But then I dont know any nutters - lockdown lovers, nor antu science conspiracy theorists.

Tbf, I'm in the can work from home with no cut to wages and benefits and I'm all in favour of a faster reopening.

It still hurts even if you're still working. People go on about a work/life balance and ATM there just isn't one. It's work cos there no actual life capable of being lived atm.

You were the only poster to reference the ‘other‘.

It is slightly alarming how quick some posters are to shut down opinions that go against what is currently propagated as majority opinion.

If I was cynical I would suggest it is sinister.

Another big turnout from the anti everything people. 200 people this time.

Clearly it's catching on.

Might be 150 at the next one...

I covered all them under 'Lizard People'.

All though Amazon's VOD would want to get in some amphibian leaders into programming, it's fair poor.

i have been able to work in my office, private sector, no cut to wages .
i am just sickened by what has been done to this country especially rural ireland.
i have 40 clients from my locality shut, most the guts of a year. all family businesses.
i have had some brutal meetings with these clients lately, at least 25 will never open again.
a mix of online buying and their customers now working from home or some sadly jobless has buried them.
to continue would be pointless.
rural ireland had its heart ripped out following the banking crisis of 2008, but the fallout of the severe lockdowns will be the loss of rural irelands soul.

2008 fallout was brutal but was forced on us, this time our own ****1ng people have done it to us.

There is a concerted effort on this thread to denigrate anyone who goes against the prevailing thread view. In spite of the thread view being to one based entirely on conjecture and false equivalence.

Reports suggest a 100, with 11 people arrested.

That's 11% of an entire "protest", surely a record?

I would suggest based on your recent postings that your thread view is skewed. Therefore much of what follows from your conjectures are false equivalences.

The funny thing is, boggles has had many run ins with raind over the last year.
Mostly well natured, but they frequently found themselves on opposing sides of arguments.

At one stage you could've argued that boggles was alpha doom monger, and raind was alpha sunshiner.

It's down to you lot taking on subscriptions to gript for them to realise that they had more in common than set them apart. So thanks lads. You have done some good in the world.

Yeah really proves Irish people are incredibly docile. It’s probably indoctrinated into them since the Catholic Church was in power.

Ha, they are actually blaming each other for the restrictions.

Mad stuff.

I think you'll find it was whoever got intimate with the bat, or the Chinese lad who dropped the vile of Covid in the lab.

The myth of the "fighting irish" is well and truly exploded anyway. Don't tell the Americans.

Here's one for yiz - do you support the actions of your UK brothers in the anti-restrictions movement, despite them being up to their balls in vaccines over there?

Are they acting logically?

I think being neutral as a nation for a century might have helped too.
