Low bar these days..but at least we havn't seen much violence against citizens by law enforcement here during the pandemic.

Sad state of affairs for society when riot police are set on the public who are sitting outside in the fresh air enjoying the nice weather.

Protecting you from covid by riding over you with a horse. Attempted murder.

Why is China back to normal and has no need for vaccines?

Because China is already a communist country.

Sure if they can't take a joke.

An April Fool’s joke festival that got out of hand in Brussels’ Bois de la Cambre park drew a crowd of thousands of people, which were then dispersed by riot police for breaking COVID-19 measures.

Some 20,000 people accepted a social media invite for the party on Facebook, and up to 5,000 actually showed up — though the event planners said the invitation was a hoax.

Police spokesperson Ilse Van de Keere told the Belga news agency that police began clearing the park at 5 pm.

However, many people refused to leave. The crowd turned on police, according to reporters at the scene. Police used water cannons, horses, pepper spray, tear gas, and a drone to disperse the crowd.

The subsidies are something else.

That's why you don't hear them complaining anymore. Most of them are making more than they were when they were open!

And you couldn't trust what they themselves say anyways, playing the poor mouth will mean more people pack into them for "support" when things do open.

I mean come on, no rates, employees wages subsidized...they're laughing!

There's no long-term thinking anywhere in Ireland it seems. The large deficits we're running up now will reduce the wealth of the country.

What is the first thing that will evaporate from people's household budget when there's less disposable income? Consumer spending, including meals out.

All the dogs that didn't bark - restaurateurs, publicans, "artists" (hoovering up subsidies is their bread and butter) etc. should all be complaining loudly if not protesting.

Its the same thing with delighted wfh'ers, boasting about how they've been bought off with their own pocket change. Jumping on to the property ladder and pulling it up after them.

Fair play to them. Hopefully many more will do the same.

Thats the thing snuggy. It's not. Vaccination will allow everyone to get back to normal.

Maybe its not a big ask if you haven't been out of work for the year?

I thought household saving were at an all time high?

They are.

I'm talking about the future, the years of re-paying deficits in whatever form that takes (USC II?) and the long-term effect on consumer spending.

A lazy generalisation, that may apply to some but certainly not the majority. I'm scratching by on half of my usual income, courtesy of an overzealous government pegging me out of work. There is little doubt in my mind that some public servants are living the life of riley during lockdown, the same ones that want to jump the vaccine queue and have a proper knees up abroad with fellow entitled twenty/thirty somethings during extended summer holliers.

The vast majority of the private sector are also working away as normal.

Headline on one of the papers this morning:

“Loaded gun thief knew he had Covid”.

No,no he didn’t have a loaded gun while robbing the shop, the loaded gun was him having Covid. And some people still try to tell us there is no hysteria happening!

Actually here it is https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/crime/chef-who-like-loaded-gun-23851042

He went shoplifting after testing positive for Covid-19. This fcuker should be charged with attempted murder.

its something really grim seeing that vid, if people who arent even at risk are told to fck off home and causing real fights for their freedom its really messed up to think this crap is about public health safety.

A recently minted account making a beeline for a hotly contested thread, throwing out provocative content by the gallon. And I wonder where the sun goes at night.

Did you work that out all by yourself chief or did someone have to join the dots for you? BTW in the short amount of time left for me here I just want to give you another reminder that the pubs will not be opening anytime soon. Tough for you but that`s the way the cookie crumbles. Anyway I may be back soon in one form or another. Have a nice day all you motherfcukers.:pac:
