Coronavirus Thread (sponsored by Anthony Fauci & Pfizer) (Part 5)

@Gman is on the warpath. This could be a “tax on children’s shoes” moments. This time next week Gman could be protesting outside Leo Varadkar’s house.

I’ve actually got terrific/terrible news for people on the dole…there’s a labour shortage. There are jobs for everyone

I think FFGR kind of gave up a month or two back. Up to then, they were still engaging in the theatrics in the Dáil and on TV/radio debates of trading insults with SF and robustly defending their record. I don’t know if they truly believed it but they were going through the motions at least of trying to stand over whatever actions they had/hadn’t taken. To my mind, they still harboured hopes of keeping enough of the public on side, coming out the other side of COVID-19 & fighting for the election in a few years. I reckon there’s a bit of resignation lately & I don’t know if rising COVID numbers and a failure to add ICU capacity over the last 18 months, Darragh O’Brien’s housing plan, which met with the stock market approval of investment funds, & a few other things I can’t recall precipitated it. I sense there’s a element of some of them filling their boots now. They accept they’ll be fucked out and they’re taking what they can get while they can. I’d say plenty of them are working their tickets and lining up cushy PR and advisory numbers with lobby groups and think tanks. That’s the longer term macro stuff but sorting out themselves for antigen tests & not giving a shit about what the public think is the micro.

They’ve now scrambled a nonsense response to say that it was for staff only, not elected representatives.

They’re stuffing their pockets with free antigen tests.

Like me stuffing my pockets with free butter and jam and condoms when I was a student.

The head of the task force introducing antigen tests was on the radio there and talking about how important it is that people understand how to use the tests properly. She then went on some sort of a meandering explanation of when people should use them which didn’t really clarify how one would use the tests properly at all. She was a consultant of some sort. Every response included an “I suppose”.

Jesus they’ve gotten very inventive with the flavoured condoms.

Sounds like a graduate of the Kilkenny hurler communication seminar.

Your life partner is going to wonder if the time spent meandering here would be better spent washing environmentally friendly nappies.

Would imagine RBB, PMcL and COC are the three who felt TDs and senators should pay.

You’d imagine a lot of things fella. Bizarre projection to guess your favourites would also be the ‘good guys’. Given SF’s attitude to printing, I’d imagine McLoughlin was tasked to grab as many freetests as possible to give out to voters and tell them they were from SF.

Oooft

Understand 3 members suggested TDs and Senators should pay, but that was rejected

that’s brilliant
obviously ( he has used the word Understand) so it’s carefully taken completely out of context for clickbait purposes for whoever “Paul Hosford” is but its a zinger…

Ooooh touchy Labour boy.

One thing we know is Ian Duncan Smith wasn’t one of them.

looks like I didnt even get the chance. Rowing back on it already and saying it was never the case, even though it very clearly was. And then all of a sudden an announcement that primary school children will get tests for free on or before the 29th Nov. So rushing out that asap when it probably hasnt been finalised to try quash their own sordid mess. They genuinely havent a fucking clue.

the unvaccinated would primarily be Ultra Orthodox ( religous reasons), Arabs in northern cities ( mistrust of everything government related) and Bedouin ( very traditional hunter gatherer herdsmen folk- i was actually in Rahat in 2014 as she was giving a talk there on inclusion)… but yeah, everyone i know there has the third shot and it looks like its on the rise again

The whole political system needs to be wiped out and built from scratch… The whole lot of them are cunts.

Are we any closer to ‘herd immunity’?
