Scientists at loggerheads over UK’s approach to new Covid-19 restrictions
Two groups of prominent scientists write open letters with conflicting advice on how to tackle virus
A quote from a recent interview with Professor Carl Heneghan, Oxford University:
“And let’s be clear the high quality trial evidence for cloth masks suggest they increase your rate of reinfection.” This is what Dolores Cahill and Judy Mikovit have been saying all along.
Tom J
No one has been reinfected with Covid 19. You either die from it or you survive.

Reinfection in Hong Kong in August, Dr. Tom
Tom J

I could believe that about masks, given variable standards for face coverings, and lack of expertise and experience in how to use and clean them properly and effectively, but, um, reinfection with covid would surely be big news, whatever the cause, so, at the very least they’re burying the lede…

I’ll remind you of this in four years time when he’s fighting the next general election.
Getting Brexit done is just the first part of ambitious plans he has for his premiership.
They include a change in the traditional imbalance between the north and south of the country – all those red Wall seats that fell to the Tories last December.
And a re-structuring of how the country is run which is why so many senior civil servants are being quietly shown the door in Westminster.
C-19 has thrown these plans off- course and I have a lingering suspicion that Boris is personally suffering some long-term physical effects of catching it.
But the idea he’s going to walk is palpable nonsense and one that would terrify the Tories.
Many of MPs owe their seats to his stunning triumph last year.
They know it but more importantly he knows they know it.
Boris is still box office baby which is why the 8 million big ones is about the only correct thing in your post – you can bet Boris is keeping a diary.

No child should be allowed attend any public school without receiving the required vaccinations*.
If their parents don’t want to vaccinate their kids – fine, they can homeschool them themselves.
*unless there is some legitimate medical reason not to do so
Janet, dreams of big guns
does that include a rushed vaccine that is not held liable for any side effects ( like the swine flus narcolepsy )
just so you know I am not anti vax, have had a tonne of them myself but not sure if want to pump the kids with an untested formula for something they themselves are not high risk for.
Nigel
Not to answer for Rob, but, yeah, a rushed vax could be worse than no vax at all.

The vaccines must be tested fully.

i see one rule for the gaa and one for all other sports per the examiner, seems to make sense that kids can’t play an outdoor match for an hour at the weekend but can wander around shopping centres for hours ? you wonder why the government is losing public support as this crisis continues
JK Rowling is doing humanity a great service at a great personal expense.
Junkface
I’m glad she can afford it, unlike everyday people who have had their careers destroyed due to woke mobs.
Nigel
Not to mention the trans people subjected to abuse, hate and violence.
scottser
except she didn’t.
Nigel
Mention it? No, she didn’t.
Junkface
I have yet to see an example of JK Rowling encouraging abuse towards Trans people, or anything close to nastiness towards them. This seems to have exploded from a comment she made on twitter that a person with a womb is called a woman or something.
Nigel
Oh I’m sure she wouldn’t dream of it. But if we’re talking about people less rich, powerful and far more vulnerable than her being victimised by hate mobs on and off line, I tend to think of trans people.
Nonetheless she’s the hero we need to protect us from the threat of trans people.
Toby
You are right Junk. But people like Nigel scour the web looking for offence (never their own, but someone else’s) and then charge in like a stupid white knight trying to steal some relevance for themselves. Its disgusting, self serving nastiness.
Junkface
The threat is actually (former men) encroaching on women’s rights. There are plenty of intellectuals writing about their concerns relating to that and how children and young teens are opting for Transitioning without realising what they are doing. There have been a lot of 20 to 25 years olds (who began treatments between 2014 and 2016) confirming this now, ones that were lucky enough to go back and realise that they were experiencing mental health issues, not body dysmorphia.
Abigail Shrier wrote a book on this and has done many podcast interviews and discussions. Same goes for Jonathan Haidt
Janet, dreams of big guns
I don’t have any problems with mixed facilities, toilets/ showers etc, they often were at french municipal pools, people should be able to behave no matter what gender they are or were,
I think the sports issue is a valid one, no matter how much I train I’m not got to be able to out run a similarly trained man’s muscles in a sprint ( mind distance now is another story as the old female fat storing eventually has potential to pay off ),
Toby
Nigel, JK isn’t protecting us from Trans people, She is protecting us from people like you.
Nigel
Toby, I don’t have to scour anywhere, I just have to reply to comments here with my own point of view to provoke responses like yours.
Junkface – ‘former men’ are not encroaching on women’s rights, which is an odd way of putting anyway it if the overall goal is for men and women and everyone trans or non conforming to have the same rights.
‘A lot’ seems a bit vague, and such cases are difficult and deserve support and understanding, but should not be used as a pretext to deny treatmeb to people who have gender dysphorhia.
All of this underlines how increasingly marginalised and targeted the trans community is, as spearheaded by a rich, popular woman now being portrayed as a heroic crusader.
Nigel
Toby, why do you feel you need JK Rowling to protect you from me?
Nigel
Janet, trans people undergo years of hormone therapy They do not have the same sort of muscle mass or chemical makeup as cis men. As proof of this – they have been competing in women’s sports for decades, and only a tiny handful dominate in their particular events. That’s my understanding, anyway. As with the idea of ‘men sneaking their way into woman’s spaces’ – trans women have been using women’s spaces for decades, only now suddenly has it become an issue.
Janet, dreams of big guns
thanks for your answer, like I said the woman’s spaces part is not an issue for me ,
the bigger stronger frame part is what I’d be concerned with as a sporting advantage, I guess even with hormones I find it hard to believe there would not be an advantage,
much as I enjoy a good wrestle with the male body, even the surprisingly lightly muscled ones are stronger than they look…I have done a lot of research ;)
Rob_G
“They do not have the same sort of muscle mass or chemical makeup as cis men.”
– this is categorically incorrect; someone with XY chromosomes and can identify as a woman and start competing in women’s sports the next day, without undergoing any treatment
“and only a tiny handful dominate in their particular events. That’s my understanding, anyway. ”
– that’s fine for you to say, as you won’t be competing in any of these events; what if you were a female UFC fighter and found yourself in the ring with a M-t-F trans athlete who had previously competed as a man? It’s downright dangerous, nevermind the sporting implications.
Janet, dreams of big guns
look at us agreeing :)
Nigel
Rob – exactlly how many times has either of your hypotheticals actually happened? To quote Sean Connery in The Untouchables – ‘Who would claim to be that who was not?’
Nigel
Janet – many top cis atheletes have unique hormonal body chemsitry that allows for greater performance. It’s a feature of competitive sports, as much a random act of genetics as size and shape, not a bug, If they’re going to standardise and regulate body chemistry beyond screening for banned substances – well, I don’t know how that would work without being wildly discriminatory.
Janet, dreams of big guns
I have very high testosterone levels myself 40 percent higher than the average lady, always easy for me to stay trim and see fast muscle growth…I’m still very much all woman,
have you ever been up close in either a friendly or indeed non friendly tussle with someone who although your height and weight is just stronger than you because of their sex, well I have for both and it can be very frightening if non friendly.
When you experience that it’s very real.
Janet, dreams of big guns
I guess I’m saying the high testosterone, long legs, being relatively lean, a stubborn mindset all give me advantages in running but they remain advantages within the realms of my gender.
Rob_G
Nigel – my very specific, second hypothetical is not a hypothetical, it refers to a real person – Fallon Fox.
She fought an XX woman and broke her skull, still in the first round.
Nigel
How does that fit in with incidences of injuries in MMA? I mean, was it a notable one-off, or did it get attention because she’s trans? Does she regulalry inflict serious injuries like that on her opponents?
Nigel
Actually, SpewHue, my sex cult is invitation only.

Found on facebook. It’s both funny and true….
Brexit Trade Talks: UK: We don’t like our deal
EU: Why not?
UK: We only get 95% of what we want
EU: It only gives us 95% too. That’s how negotiating goes
UK: We want a new deal that gives us everything we can think of
EU: But you signed a deal
UK: Don’t care, we hate you
EU: Bit rude
UK: We elected people to go to your meetings specifically to say we hate you
EU: And how is Nigel?
UK: Not happy?
EU: Why not?
UK: TV has dried up. So we want a new deal, and we want the deal in 3 weeks, or we cancel our existing deal
EU: Wait, what?
UK: You heard. Give us 100% of what we want in 3 weeks, or we break the law and walk away with 0% of what we want
EU: Er suits us!
UK: Wait, what?
EU: Perfect. Do it. Walk away. Take Nigel with you.
UK: No, hold on, wait: you have to negotiate, so Boris can win
EU: Why? Right now you have 95% of perfect, and we have 95% of perfect. If we renegotiate, you get more but we get less
UK: That’s right
EU: But if we don’t negotiate, we still have our 95%
UK: Woah, hold on
EU: And you have nothing
UK: But Dom didn’t superpredict you’d say that!
EU: And if we don’t have a deal, we don’t have to put up with you **** on our lawn
UK: The Daily Mail made us do it and then ran away!
EU: I just found this spine. Is it yours?
UK: Welp!
EU: So we’ll just sit this one out
UK: Fine, we’ll go and make a great deal with the US
US: Yo suckers
UK: We are here to get a lovely big trade deal
US: Sure thing. Obey existing deals, and give us 100% of everything, plus 51% controlling share in the NHS, and you get, let’s see, 60% of what you have now
UK: Not good enough, we have a Special Relationship
US: Bye
UK: What?
US: Bye. Talks are over, the Special Relationship is over, your country is over. Bye
UK: But we haven’t got a deal, and we told everyone it would be easy!
US: It is easy: we are 26% of world trade, making deals with EU (20%) and China (17%). We don’t need your 1.8%. No deal: easy
UK: But we really need a deal, the EU outsmarted us
US: We know. Some of us can read. Not Trump, obviously, but the rest of us. Try India
UK: Hi India, remember us?
India: Oh ****, these guys again
UK: We want a trade deal
India: And we want to vastly increase the number of Indians who can live in the UK
UK: We can’t do that. Turns out we’re, like, properly racist
India: That is brand new information!!
UK: So can we have a deal?
India: Sure, fine. Join the queue
UK: Who’s in front of us in the queue?
India: EU, USA, China, Brazil, Korea, Canada, Australia basically everybody. We’re kind of a big deal now.
UK: So you’ll be ready to negotiate in, what: 3 weeks?
India: Ha ha ha ha ha
UK: What did we say?
India: 3 weeks? Try 3 years. This **** takes ages, bro
UK: But we had a timetable of 3 weeks with the EU
India: And how did that work out?
UK: Erm
India: Try Brazil
UK: Hi Brazil
Brazil: We ArE oN FiRe!!
UK: Maybe we can trade you some fire engines?
Brazil: We LiKe bEiNg oN FiRe, iT’s OuR tHiNg NoW!!!
UK: Shall we try New Zealand?
Brazil: I aM So DrUnK!!
UK: Yeah, let’s try New Zealand
UK: Hi, New Zealand
NZ: Hi, Crazy Uncle
UK: We’d like to sell you some lamb
NZ: Sorry, it’s very noisy here, cos we still have a working economy. Did you say you want to sell us some lamb?
UK: Yes
NZ: Hold the line, gotta tell Australia this, they’ll **** themselves
UK: Hi Australia, wanna trade stuff?
Aus: We wanna offload Rolf Harris and our worst ever PM. What can you give us for them?
UK: We’ve already got them
Aus: That was easy! So what can you trade?
UK: We can send you some racists
Aus: I think we’re sorted. Try Russia
UK: Hi Russia, we have loads of lovely things we think you’d love to own
Russia: We already own them
UK: You don’t own Boris
Russia: True. We rent him by the hour. £160k for a tennis match
UK: We really need a trade deal
Russia: We know. We made you need one. Try China
UK: Can we please have a trade deal?
China: And you are…?
UK: We’re Great Britain
China: Great, you say?
UK: Well once
China: It’s not ringing any bells. Do you have another name?
UK: United Kingdom
China: United, you say?
UK: Alright, smart arse
China: So you want a trade deal?
UK: Yes, but first we demand you obey international law
China: What happened to your deal with the EU?
UK: We broke international law
China: Have you been drinking moonshine with Brazil again?
UK: We’re very tired.
China: Why did you leave the EU?
UK: We couldn’t deal with foreigners telling us what to do
China: What do you want?
UK: A deal
China: With who?
UK: Foreigners
China: And why can’t you get one?
UK: Cos we don’t know what to do
China: Were you dropped as a child?
UK: We just want a trade deal worthy of our status
China: You’ve got one
UK: No we haven’t
China: Yes you have
UK: Why won’t anybody take us seriously?
China: Would you like to buy a mirror?
UK: Finally, a deal!
China: You had a deal worthy of your status, with the EU. You don’t need to renegotiate deals: you need to reassess your status. You’re not a mighty nation, you’re a small, wet, heavily indebted island on the edge of a globally important trade bloc, which you just left, you tit
UK: So, what do you suggest?
China: Aw, mate. You already know
EU: Hi there! Here to rejoin?
UK: Yes, and on the same terms as before
EU: Oh, I don’t think so. Say goodbye to your rebate, hello to the Euro, and bonjour to the Schengen area. Welcommen!
UK: We hate you!!!

Not to answer for Rob, but, yeah, a rushed vax could be worse than no vax at all.
+1 Janet.
The vaccines must be tested fully.
And in general Rob – should everyone be forced to have vaccines?
i see one rule for the gaa and one for all other sports per the examiner, seems to make sense that kids can’t play an outdoor match for an hour at the weekend but can wander around shopping centres for hours ? you wonder why the government is losing public support as this crisis continues
Meanwhile
It looks like Sammy has had enough of Aur’lean

JK Rowling is doing humanity a great service at a great personal expense.
I’m glad she can afford it, unlike everyday people who have had their careers destroyed due to woke mobs.
Not to mention the trans people subjected to abuse, hate and violence.
except she didn’t.
Mention it? No, she didn’t.
I have yet to see an example of JK Rowling encouraging abuse towards Trans people, or anything close to nastiness towards them. This seems to have exploded from a comment she made on twitter that a person with a womb is called a woman or something.
Oh I’m sure she wouldn’t dream of it. But if we’re talking about people less rich, powerful and far more vulnerable than her being victimised by hate mobs on and off line, I tend to think of trans people.
Nonetheless she’s the hero we need to protect us from the threat of trans people.
You are right Junk. But people like Nigel scour the web looking for offence (never their own, but someone else’s) and then charge in like a stupid white knight trying to steal some relevance for themselves. Its disgusting, self serving nastiness.
The threat is actually (former men) encroaching on women’s rights. There are plenty of intellectuals writing about their concerns relating to that and how children and young teens are opting for Transitioning without realising what they are doing. There have been a lot of 20 to 25 years olds (who began treatments between 2014 and 2016) confirming this now, ones that were lucky enough to go back and realise that they were experiencing mental health issues, not body dysmorphia.
Abigail Shrier wrote a book on this and has done many podcast interviews and discussions. Same goes for Jonathan Haidt
I don’t have any problems with mixed facilities, toilets/ showers etc, they often were at french municipal pools, people should be able to behave no matter what gender they are or were,
I think the sports issue is a valid one, no matter how much I train I’m not got to be able to out run a similarly trained man’s muscles in a sprint ( mind distance now is another story as the old female fat storing eventually has potential to pay off ),
Nigel, JK isn’t protecting us from Trans people, She is protecting us from people like you.
Toby, I don’t have to scour anywhere, I just have to reply to comments here with my own point of view to provoke responses like yours.
Junkface – ‘former men’ are not encroaching on women’s rights, which is an odd way of putting anyway it if the overall goal is for men and women and everyone trans or non conforming to have the same rights.
‘A lot’ seems a bit vague, and such cases are difficult and deserve support and understanding, but should not be used as a pretext to deny treatmeb to people who have gender dysphorhia.
All of this underlines how increasingly marginalised and targeted the trans community is, as spearheaded by a rich, popular woman now being portrayed as a heroic crusader.
Toby, why do you feel you need JK Rowling to protect you from me?
Janet, trans people undergo years of hormone therapy They do not have the same sort of muscle mass or chemical makeup as cis men. As proof of this – they have been competing in women’s sports for decades, and only a tiny handful dominate in their particular events. That’s my understanding, anyway. As with the idea of ‘men sneaking their way into woman’s spaces’ – trans women have been using women’s spaces for decades, only now suddenly has it become an issue.
thanks for your answer, like I said the woman’s spaces part is not an issue for me ,
the bigger stronger frame part is what I’d be concerned with as a sporting advantage, I guess even with hormones I find it hard to believe there would not be an advantage,
much as I enjoy a good wrestle with the male body, even the surprisingly lightly muscled ones are stronger than they look…I have done a lot of research ;)
“They do not have the same sort of muscle mass or chemical makeup as cis men.”
– this is categorically incorrect; someone with XY chromosomes and can identify as a woman and start competing in women’s sports the next day, without undergoing any treatment
“and only a tiny handful dominate in their particular events. That’s my understanding, anyway. ”
– that’s fine for you to say, as you won’t be competing in any of these events; what if you were a female UFC fighter and found yourself in the ring with a M-t-F trans athlete who had previously competed as a man? It’s downright dangerous, nevermind the sporting implications.
look at us agreeing :)
Rob – exactlly how many times has either of your hypotheticals actually happened? To quote Sean Connery in The Untouchables – ‘Who would claim to be that who was not?’
Janet – many top cis atheletes have unique hormonal body chemsitry that allows for greater performance. It’s a feature of competitive sports, as much a random act of genetics as size and shape, not a bug, If they’re going to standardise and regulate body chemistry beyond screening for banned substances – well, I don’t know how that would work without being wildly discriminatory.
I have very high testosterone levels myself 40 percent higher than the average lady, always easy for me to stay trim and see fast muscle growth…I’m still very much all woman,
have you ever been up close in either a friendly or indeed non friendly tussle with someone who although your height and weight is just stronger than you because of their sex, well I have for both and it can be very frightening if non friendly.
When you experience that it’s very real.
I guess I’m saying the high testosterone, long legs, being relatively lean, a stubborn mindset all give me advantages in running but they remain advantages within the realms of my gender.
Nigel – my very specific, second hypothetical is not a hypothetical, it refers to a real person – Fallon Fox.
She fought an XX woman and broke her skull, still in the first round.
How does that fit in with incidences of injuries in MMA? I mean, was it a notable one-off, or did it get attention because she’s trans? Does she regulalry inflict serious injuries like that on her opponents?
Actually, SpewHue, my sex cult is invitation only.
haha :)

Where is Stephen?
Remember the days when the papers had little to no comments, except for Memes’ midnight meanderings.
those were the days
bring on bake off,
anyone else feeling covided out ?
So what did ye make of it anyway
I thoroughly enjoyed it
One of the best cake weeks ever
Loving Lottie – my 1st tip for the final
Reckon Hermine is one to watch
Same with last night’s SB Peter
Knew yer ‘wan Lurieka was heading home the moment she opened the bottle of bubblegum essence in the Signiture
Fake flavours are a bad start
Rowan had me in stitches, so hope he gets a good run
Not sure I like Noel being Mattie’s support act
But tis early days – producers had a lot to get into e1
But looking good
Great Signiture tbh, but Cork people have a great relationship with Battenburg which probably helped my overall impression
And if anyone is wondering, if I was asked to do a cake bust of anyone – t’would probably be Wogan
Found on facebook. It’s both funny and true….
Brexit Trade Talks: UK: We don’t like our deal
EU: Why not?
UK: We only get 95% of what we want
EU: It only gives us 95% too. That’s how negotiating goes
UK: We want a new deal that gives us everything we can think of
EU: But you signed a deal
UK: Don’t care, we hate you
EU: Bit rude
UK: We elected people to go to your meetings specifically to say we hate you
EU: And how is Nigel?
UK: Not happy?
EU: Why not?
UK: TV has dried up. So we want a new deal, and we want the deal in 3 weeks, or we cancel our existing deal
EU: Wait, what?
UK: You heard. Give us 100% of what we want in 3 weeks, or we break the law and walk away with 0% of what we want
EU: Er suits us!
UK: Wait, what?
EU: Perfect. Do it. Walk away. Take Nigel with you.
UK: No, hold on, wait: you have to negotiate, so Boris can win
EU: Why? Right now you have 95% of perfect, and we have 95% of perfect. If we renegotiate, you get more but we get less
UK: That’s right
EU: But if we don’t negotiate, we still have our 95%
UK: Woah, hold on
EU: And you have nothing
UK: But Dom didn’t superpredict you’d say that!
EU: And if we don’t have a deal, we don’t have to put up with you **** on our lawn
UK: The Daily Mail made us do it and then ran away!
EU: I just found this spine. Is it yours?
UK: Welp!
EU: So we’ll just sit this one out
UK: Fine, we’ll go and make a great deal with the US
US: Yo suckers
UK: We are here to get a lovely big trade deal
US: Sure thing. Obey existing deals, and give us 100% of everything, plus 51% controlling share in the NHS, and you get, let’s see, 60% of what you have now
UK: Not good enough, we have a Special Relationship
US: Bye
UK: What?
US: Bye. Talks are over, the Special Relationship is over, your country is over. Bye
UK: But we haven’t got a deal, and we told everyone it would be easy!
US: It is easy: we are 26% of world trade, making deals with EU (20%) and China (17%). We don’t need your 1.8%. No deal: easy
UK: But we really need a deal, the EU outsmarted us
US: We know. Some of us can read. Not Trump, obviously, but the rest of us. Try India
UK: Hi India, remember us?
India: Oh ****, these guys again
UK: We want a trade deal
India: And we want to vastly increase the number of Indians who can live in the UK
UK: We can’t do that. Turns out we’re, like, properly racist
India: That is brand new information!!
UK: So can we have a deal?
India: Sure, fine. Join the queue
UK: Who’s in front of us in the queue?
India: EU, USA, China, Brazil, Korea, Canada, Australia basically everybody. We’re kind of a big deal now.
UK: So you’ll be ready to negotiate in, what: 3 weeks?
India: Ha ha ha ha ha
UK: What did we say?
India: 3 weeks? Try 3 years. This **** takes ages, bro
UK: But we had a timetable of 3 weeks with the EU
India: And how did that work out?
UK: Erm
India: Try Brazil
UK: Hi Brazil
Brazil: We ArE oN FiRe!!
UK: Maybe we can trade you some fire engines?
Brazil: We LiKe bEiNg oN FiRe, iT’s OuR tHiNg NoW!!!
UK: Shall we try New Zealand?
Brazil: I aM So DrUnK!!
UK: Yeah, let’s try New Zealand
UK: Hi, New Zealand
NZ: Hi, Crazy Uncle
UK: We’d like to sell you some lamb
NZ: Sorry, it’s very noisy here, cos we still have a working economy. Did you say you want to sell us some lamb?
UK: Yes
NZ: Hold the line, gotta tell Australia this, they’ll **** themselves
UK: Hi Australia, wanna trade stuff?
Aus: We wanna offload Rolf Harris and our worst ever PM. What can you give us for them?
UK: We’ve already got them
Aus: That was easy! So what can you trade?
UK: We can send you some racists
Aus: I think we’re sorted. Try Russia
UK: Hi Russia, we have loads of lovely things we think you’d love to own
Russia: We already own them
UK: You don’t own Boris
Russia: True. We rent him by the hour. £160k for a tennis match
UK: We really need a trade deal
Russia: We know. We made you need one. Try China
UK: Can we please have a trade deal?
China: And you are…?
UK: We’re Great Britain
China: Great, you say?
UK: Well once
China: It’s not ringing any bells. Do you have another name?
UK: United Kingdom
China: United, you say?
UK: Alright, smart arse
China: So you want a trade deal?
UK: Yes, but first we demand you obey international law
China: What happened to your deal with the EU?
UK: We broke international law
China: Have you been drinking moonshine with Brazil again?
UK: We’re very tired.
China: Why did you leave the EU?
UK: We couldn’t deal with foreigners telling us what to do
China: What do you want?
UK: A deal
China: With who?
UK: Foreigners
China: And why can’t you get one?
UK: Cos we don’t know what to do
China: Were you dropped as a child?
UK: We just want a trade deal worthy of our status
China: You’ve got one
UK: No we haven’t
China: Yes you have
UK: Why won’t anybody take us seriously?
China: Would you like to buy a mirror?
UK: Finally, a deal!
China: You had a deal worthy of your status, with the EU. You don’t need to renegotiate deals: you need to reassess your status. You’re not a mighty nation, you’re a small, wet, heavily indebted island on the edge of a globally important trade bloc, which you just left, you tit
UK: So, what do you suggest?
China: Aw, mate. You already know
EU: Hi there! Here to rejoin?
UK: Yes, and on the same terms as before
EU: Oh, I don’t think so. Say goodbye to your rebate, hello to the Euro, and bonjour to the Schengen area. Welcommen!
UK: We hate you!!!
I enjoyed that
In nutshell, is this…..
(Say it in a Yoda voice)

I particularly like the way you are so devoid of imagination,wit and creativity that you post someone else’s entire Facebook post because you don’t have the intelligence to create one yourself.
HlIreland’s higher education system hard at work here.
No wonder there isn’t a single Irish university in the world’s top 100 any more.
Even the University of Nowhere Important gets in.
What exactly do you think this place is?! Pretty much everything posted on Broadsheet was linked to and copied from elsewhere.
I think I’ll create a subreddit just for you and share your rapier-like racism and disdain for the natives with the world…
I’ll think I’ll call it r/IdiotOnBroadsheet
Very little stuff on here from serious contributors is copy and paste.
And if it is it’s either to illustrate or back up a point being made.
Of course as someone as lazy and uninspired as yourself I can see how it appears otherwise.
You’re in that coterie of camp followers for whom I apply the dross filter.
Every forum has them.
Charlie, as you’re wont to say, if yer ‘splainin’, yer losin’…. Like Bozo, I suppose… Yeh didn’t lick it off the ground it seems…. Totes hilar… Yeh big fraud.
