    John comes across as having a brain cell. Edward sounds pretty dense.

    They are living with someone who was stoned out of her mind (tara reid) during an interview with them.

    It kind of seemed they were living rent free in her apartment.

    I don't have much of a problem with them honestly. They may not be great musicians or have anything unique to say about the pandemic, but they seem like innocent blokes that just want to join the good fight. Fair play to them I say.

    Complain about them protesting if you want but to be fair there's several pictures where they have the masks on and one with them pulled down. Most have briefly pulled a mask down when someone cant understand what your saying or whatever but not been in the scope of a photographer who's waiting for a mistake.

    I always get the impression they prefer people to keep their distance ..

    They are pleasant etc.

    The activism ..probably 70% ...maybe 10% boredom ...and 20% attention.

    They need to give it a rest. They remind me of the weird kid who makes one good joke and then repeats it for the rest of their life thinking they’ll get a laugh again, when in reality people just pity them. Theyre the turds that wont flush

    As for these too, attention seekers of the highest order.

    It's the natural progression for people in the entertainment industry to go to when the primary career is over.

    Jedward
    Niall Brezzy Breslin
    Emma Watson
    Meghan Markle
    Alyssa Milano
    Rose McGowan
    Ellen Page
    The Rubberbandits

    That's just off the top of my head. There are tons of them. They don't get the endorphins from performing anymore, so seek them from social media likes and praise from luvvies.

    I think its more that they cannot create waves from what they did before.

    I mean you don't get saoirse ronan doing this.

    And i have prob been on more marches than jedward ....but i wouldnt call myself an activist!

    TBH politics is something i want to back away from slightly ..tis bitter and tiring.
