Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

I think not.

The entire Pandemic thing in Ireland has largely explained to me why the English managed to rule this island for c.800 years without too much difficulty.

Forget the "Rebel Irish" moniker,we now know that the Irish are serial compliers,who will largely rush to embrace whatever "Authority" happens to be passing along the road,whilst denigrating those who seek to question the norm.

We Irish will scramble wildly to queue,and pay for,the 3rd,4th or 100th "booster" as long as we get the badge to show our essential goodness and compliance.

Worse still,as Micheal Collins referred to on several occasions,the prevalence of the "Informer" was the thing that most occupied his mind as he attempted to free the country from British rule.

Fast forward 100 years and scan through the many Covid-19 posts across thse boards and you'll soon find plenty of adherents to the "Report them" methodology,as they scan the horizon for anybody NOT wearing the "I'm Vaccinated 😃 " badge.

There'll be NO rebellion in Ireland,at least not amongst the native Irish,however I suspect our large Eastern European population may prove less malleable and could well throw a large spanner in NPHET's somewhat devious programme.

This pandemic is now ALL about MONEY,with Movement Control backing it all up.

It now appears that,for some as yet unexplained reason,Authorities Worldwide decided that allowing their mass populations free & unfettered access to travel was proving challenging,and thus decided to put in place a system by which the masses would be cowed into firstly,NOT travelling at all,or doing so under significant (and costly) special conditions.

Forget yer Masks & Vaccinations,and instead FOLLOW THE MONEY 😉 !

Now that is a very good example of where the phrase " from one extreme to another " comes from.

You can get into Lollapalooza with an antigen test, don't even need to be vacks'd.

But none of it makes sense! I can go anywhere in the country and stay in a hotel, eat and drink in the hotel with people from all over the country with no problem. However I can't go into my local pub or restaurant without a cert!

poxy new site

Maybe another 60k people have woken up in this country today

hopefully

Orban was seen as a hero here during the Euro's for the total freedom he gave his fellow Hungarians.

Pity we don't have some kind of drug or potion that would lessen the effects of covid, which are already small among the age group that goes to EP.

They were not going to allow anyone who was not double vaccinated into the festival

so how would that happen?

You will see guns n roses in June

but you will view the stage from a pod of 4

clapping will be permitted when each song has ended

mingling with other concert attendees will be strictly forbidden

No he was serious, but the worst thing is he was talking about June 2023

I’m quite aware of the bigger picture. I think the anti vaxxers don’t. In the future i will bet restrictions will increase for the antivaxxers. The screws will be tightened as society will deem them unacceptable especially if this virus doesn’t burn out.

Being vaccinated is making a huge difference to people. People can go inside to eat or drink, best of luck to people sitting outside come the winter. I’ll bet you’ll have to be vaccinated for future concerts too.

You also don’t have to pay for tests ( or the hassle of them) when you travel etc. Other countries are begining to adopt the vaccine pass for indoor activities. New York are proposing it. Boris has also proposed vaccine passports for nightclubs etc. It’s coming so my advice is to prepare for it.

i have no vendettas towards the antivaxxers. But they are becoming irritating listening to the same bullshyte spewing from their mouths making them look like they have an IQ of 2. Laughable really lol

Or just one extreme to normal

“”Good to see you reduce part of your life and freedom to a QR code, anyway. When they come along with the digital ID, you'll probably say "shure, you'll only have a problem with that if you have something to hide"”

That got me thinking. You already have a unique registration plate bolted onto ones arse. It’s your ppsn number. I’m quite sure you can be tracked by that.

you need it for loads of things now. You even have to prove it to get your drivers licence, even bank loans now.
