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

The problem with Micheal Martin is that he is genuinely an extremely weak leader. There is no backbone there, no desire to change things and take a risk sometimes.

He would far rather hide behind NPHET and take the cautious approach as it deflects blame off him and makes life easier.

He is the definition of someone who wanted the top job for his own personal benefits without any of the responsibilities that actually come with that role.

I think that last line "He is the definition of someone who wanted the top job for his own personal benefits without any of the responsibilities that actually come with that role." would apply to most of the government, they all want the job, the perks and the pay but none of them want the responsibilities or have to make a decision without having someone or group to hide behind.

Really depressing time for most people honestly, did you Mention Labour 😳 my god they've been essentially absent without leave throughout this entire debacle, Alan Kelly is the best FFG spokesperson they ever had .

You could sum up every interview with a senior HSE official in 3 words.

Blaa, Blaa, Blaa 🙄

Paul Reid on Claire Byrne and my god it was painful to listen too

Absolutely, but young people were extremely passive throughout. Even without any political opposition to rally around, I would have expected the Students Unions to vocalize some concerns and ideally arrange protests. After all, Covid was a virus that had a completely negligible effect on the heath of the young but it was the their social, educational, work and travel opportunities that were sacrificed to placate the hysterical mob, not to mention the massive inter-generational debt mountain they have been saddled with - we're all in this together indeed.

Perhaps social media shaming and fear of being labelled a granny-killer won out. Perhaps young people are totally disengaged from politics and the economic heath of the nation. Either way, it does not bode well for our future.

I suspect the younger generation will flock to the more radical parties over time - those that promise them easy solutions to the problems that have been stored up for them - then we are really in trouble as a country once that lot seize the reins of power.

The HSE were very efficient when it came to calculating the breakdown of unvaccinated in ICU.

MM and FF are hanging in their. They don't want to cause a fuss that may lead to.qn election because a large amount of them knows they haven't a hope of getting reelected.

MM is meant to be a lovely man but is seen as weak and his party have no respect for him.

There only hope is to follow NPHET advice and say to the grey and vunerable vote that we kept you safe.

what exactly was the point of that pilot event lol

Not getting into it (Not because of yourself, for other reasons)

I have my strong opinion and beliefs on that utter insulting piss take

I would delete that before someone tells you to go to the conspiracy forum.

Crucial

It's already gone...Or going at least for the majority.

The fact that everyone is getting it and also, the fact these scientists and doctors are constantly on the media circuit, refusing to give up the celebrity status is rubbing a lot of people up the wrong way. People are not listening to them anymore.

After calls for data on Scotland's admissions they released some data today. All of the 14 trusts were called for, however only 2 were provided. Maybe being cynical but possibly a good chance the incidentals may well be higher overall.
