sinn feinn are the greatest lock down supporters of them all.
always remember that throughout history left wing movements claiming a mandate of equality are in fact the most oppressive and controlling of regimes. Sinn Feins political ideology appeals to the so called working class and benifit class who do not have the mental capacity to set direction for any form of economic or social prosperity and whose politics is all about feeling âcheatedâ and âripped offâ by the so called ârichâ who by their definition is someone who works hard, pays a mortgage and is that very tax payer who will fund that benefit culture that cullinane, o broin et al champion.

These living with Covid zealots donât see the irony of dismissing zero Covid based on their incorrect assertion it would involve complete lockdowns, while they face into 6 months of a living with Covid complete lockdown (bar the meaningful Christmas). These people are headbangers. We need to give a greater platform to the likes of Dr McConkey to lead us out of this absolute catastrophic failure of governance.

Level 5 for 9 (NINE) out of the last 12 months and nothing to show for it. (The other 3 months were quite magical where you could go for 2 pints and some chicken wings for 90 minutes after a day looking at the waves in Doolin).
You couldnât make it up these headbangers slagging off McConkey/Ryan/Kileen for trying to get us out of this sorry mess.

For the uninitiated⌠Can you briefly outline the main mantra of living with covid and zero covid. Iâm possibly rejoining the fight and weighing up which group best suits my interest.
Ah stop. And then they double down and blame the Social Democrats, John Delaney, Bobby Storey (RIP) and Luke OâNeill. A little bit of introspection and humility would be welcome, but itâs not going to happen at this stage. Headbangers.
No idea, pal. Just passing the working day until I take lunch at 12.30pm.

Iâm in.
Them bastards on the other side have fucked us for long enough.
But, but, but we canât do Zero Covid, yet we can lockdown for 9 out of the last 12 months and achieve the square root of fuck all.
Its absolutely nuts these headbangers designing âLiving with Covidâ plans are still in charge.
What is living with covid and what is zero covid?
Zero Covid = Lockdown hard for short while/Close borders - Get 80,000 in Croke Park/Pubs/Weddings/Parties/Concerts/Festivals
Living with Covid = Lockdown hard from September - May, maybe get to sit on the rocks in Lahinch for a few Sundays in July every year.
Are they our only choices?
Soft cunts.
I was never polled, were you?
