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

To be fair the Late Late show audience are exceptionally vulnerable individuals.

I'm sure they'll be delighted with you highlighting it ha

I have only been in a pub 3 times since they introduced the passes. One was an engagement party where we knew they were not enforcing passes. The other 2 were spur of the moment quick pints who did ask from the passes.

TBH I have no sympathy for places that are harshly enforcing the restrictions. I'm generally avoiding pubs and restaurants that are asking for them.

Anyone I have been talking to over the last few weeks have been saying the pubs have been empty. Especially for a December.

I was in Dublin City centre tonight and it felt like a normal midweek.

The non vaccinated are small part of the population. And I reckon a lot of them are not necessarily pub goers.

It just seems like the pass, assigned seats and feeling the need to book places, just seem to be putting up an invisible barrier to people.

The Vintners have a lot to answer for. They took MUP to keep their mouths shut. MUP will come in January and their pubs won't be earning a cent.

I'm curious to see how long NI hold out. Only the other day all was rosy and they said everything was under control. Then Boris starts introducing some restrictions, Scotland also spooked.... so I expect within 72 hours NI will **** themselves and start rowing back.

Even Boris mentioned a discussion on vaccine mandates and not a peep. Ursula mentioned that and everyone was in uproar (before you say it, neither Boris nor Ursula can change our constitution. It's just a funny comparison. Same speech, totally different reaction)

Healthy kids don't need this vaccine, end off story

Donate the vaccines to other countries who need it.

Its even questionable whether healthy adults need the vaccine or certainly whether they need boosters. By all means give boosters to vulnerable and those that want it. But pumping millions of boosters into healthy people before 3rd world countries get their population vaccinated in the first place is wrong.

The sooner the government realise this, the sooner the vaccine pass can be done away with as it serves no benefit at this stage.

Of course they will, but as has been said before, until there is a push back from large sections of society, restrictions will contuine to exist and be introduced.

The fact hospitality seem to be getting more lax is a good sign. If over a course of a few weeks, every or the vast majority of people have the certs, its quickly going to become apparent that its a waste of time and their staff are better doing real work.

Yes, same with card carrying self declared ‘liberals’ who with their support for all these restrictions have shown themselves to be nothing of the kind. Principle amongst them being Fintan O’ Toole. What passed as liberalism in this country was being anti catholic and the more viciously anti catholic you were, the more you were loved in ‘liberal’ circles.

Ah they are only liberals as long as you fall into line and agree with everything they agree with. If you disagree then you will he labeled right or left wing, conspiracy theorist or what ever the en-vogue label is at the time. Same with all these so called 'woke' folks who butch and moan about equality and treating everyone the same but that all went out the window with the covid pass and now if you are against it you are branded.

So really it comes down to whether they are puppets or muppets?

Well no as that isn't a scientifically sound position as you well know, but good to hear you want to donate more stuff together countries, vaccines aren't the top of their needs list and I guess it would be hypocritical of you now if you don't support other schemes.

Everything with omicron is still to be proven (anecdotal evidence isn't evidence) and it is an absolute undeniable fact that if you encounter the virus you're always better off having the vaccine. Hopefully omicron is milder but we're likely waiting on a care home outbreak to prove if.

They were the most vicious of them all.

Certainly opened my eyes on a few people.

Their beliefs and principles are non existent as far as I can see. Never about others nor tolerance. Only self congratulation and control.

This **** mess has been heaven for many of them. Some, I seriously wonder, don't seem to want it to end.

The best example is the Herman cain award subreddit on Reddit. Promoted by at least one prolific poster in here in a few different threads. Filled with people so convinced of their own perfectness and virtue that they've descended into a sociopathic wallowing in the misery of others.

Oh there could be a whole other thread on this don't get me started. I find these woke folks are best avoided nothing but misery. Those virtue signallers with I got vacc'd to save everyone when you know they only got the vaccine so they could head out to the pub or restaurant but yeah if you asked them they will tell you how much of a hero they are to protect granny.
