      Squandering another billion or two is it? You know we survived just fine with flu ands colds up to now without HVAC systems.

      If people are really concerned they could of taken a tablet costing less than 5cent (and more effective than the nonsense vaccines) – but this was never about a ‘virus’.

        1. Chris

          I don’t need to take any tablets, I’m fine. By the way, did you know – more sports players have had heart attacks in the past four months than the previous twenty years? What could it be..

          1. Chris

            It is you talking nonsense, really, all those ‘undiagnosed’ heart conditions, all in the past four months? More than the past twenty years? You’re in denial Tom.

          2. Tom J

            So what’s your opinion as to what’s causing one or two sports people to have a cardiac arrest. “Tell us all about your medical knowledge” Chris.

          3. SOQ

            The core point is that these events are properly recorded so there is no room for misinterpretation or accusations of manipulation.

            The vaccine statuses are not known- but something is definitely causing it.

          Was in the cc yesterday and was walking by as things were looked like they might turn nasty. That said, lots more Gardai than protestors – a good thing – and were very calm in the face of a lot of provocation – not withstanding the lads with their brand new hurley bats. There was also one particular screeching scrote in particular with a megaphone caterwauling in the face of a number of guards – they didn’t flinch. Wouldn’t have minded if they did given the drivel he was spoutin’.

          Didn’t hang around though.. A seat at the Aviva was waiting for me. Great day overall.

            It’s class warfare and you’re supporting the conflation of business and state, ergo – you are undeniably a Fascist.

    No offence BS, but as hardy as I think I am, I won’t be clicking on any of these links you’ve provided – I have to be up early for mass in the morning:

    A Reckoning At The Summit
    Woman With A Talking Vagina
    Just Summit He Had To Do
    ‘Horrendous, Absolutely Horrendous’
    ‘Not In Vain’
    Brady’s Ham
    The Irish Lay Teacher And The Leather

    … although? Hmmmm.

        ‘SNL’ takes kids to ‘Cruz Street’ with Big Bird and a right-wing agenda

    1. Bitnboxy

      ROFL! I don’t think the TCD Seanad election is one in which mad auld sleep-deprived GiggidyGums has a vote. I think Giggz, as an ageing port worker still on night shifts, has previously turned out for Mick Walllace and Verona Murphy in general elections. Ferals recognise other ferals and obviously Verona’s view on migrants is music to GiggidyGums’ pasty ill-tempered toothless head. Still the fact that crass Verona has cleaned herself up of late and moderated her gutter-speak, may cause Giggz to look elsewhere at the next general election…

    Sean Quinn gets “forgotten” and then does interview about all the things he was “forgotten” about… question is will this interview now too, get “forgotten”…

    1. Lilly

      What on earth is the story there? It’s murkier than murk. Who paid the thugs to torture Lunney? Pity Dublin Jimmy croaked before they could get some answers.

      Quality journalism there

      “Mad person on Tiktok says something mad about detox’s and vaccines”

      I can’t wait for next week’s piece about (wait for it) how mediums CAN’T really talk to the dead.

      Also, water is wet…. Thanks Guardian!

      1. D. Ments. Yea?

        What’s mad is that of all the posts here, this was the one that made you decide to comment
        Highly insightful

        1. Micko

          “ Highly insightful”

          Nice one Brian.

          I’ll remember to email my posts to you before I post in future.

        There is an antidote to the Guardians NWO sponsored drivel.
        Not well known, but it has a lively bunch of opened minded folk that discuss the news, plus the paid trolls entertain.
        Please do not feed the trolls.

    NIAC are costing lives while they ponder over boosters. We don’t need those useless, lazy nobodies to decide something that other countries have been doing for ages now.

        1. Kdoc

          “- why would anyone bring [hurleys] to such to a protest?
          Because they were encouraged to do so by their leaders.

        2. Kdoc

          Chris Do you reckon those two latchikos were going to play hurling on Grafton street? Of course not. If the protesters had sufficient numbers they were going to take on the Gardaí like they did before on Grafton street – you will recall Rocket Man who is currently before the courts. I said it before, it’s only a matter of time before they cause serious harm.

          1. SOQ

            The hurleys were clearly new and they had a sliotar. And as pointed out by GiggidyGoo, there is an Every’s sports shop near by. Are these guys known politicos or something?

            Anyways here is a live stream of the while thing- pretty harmless if you ask me. Unless you think that protesting against vaccine passports is in some way subversive- in which you are exactly what you accuse others of being.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFv0EaczKGk

          2. SOQ

            Have never seen a role play hurley as a prop in The Boilerhouse but I will look out for it next time.

            Depends on how many Sliotar- agreed in advance of course

          3. Chris

            @ kdoc, as I said, it was undeniably stupid. There’s a palatable anger against the injustice we face, but looking for a ruckus with Garda (if that was the case) is facile and wrong.

          4. SOQ

            No safe word- just the usual odd €30.

            I’m surprised they haven’t made a feminist statement and started employing women, like a certain other “left wing” Capel Street venue- now that the Brazilian rent boys have left.

    1. Kdoc

      SOQ, the only reason they didn’t cause grief was because they didn’t have sufficient numbers. There were almost as many Gardaí as there were protesters. Nothing false flag about it some of the core anti brigade were in attendance with one shouting support for the ‘hurling players’.

      1. SOQ

        You were there obviously Kdoc- a couple of buskers and a few speeches is the Irish ‘far right’ everyone is so afraid of is it?

        That case will be thrown out of court- it was manufactured by one or more to generate headlines. I repeat- was those guys known for some reason?

        1. Micko

          Shhhh SOQ

          The Far right are everywhere and very dangerous.

          We definitely don’t live in the most tolerant and inclusive period in human history ever, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

    2. D. Ments. Yea?

      Which was it?

      A. False Flag?
      B. Special needs on day release?
      C. Anti-vax knacker conspiraloon?
      OR
      D. All of the above?

      PS why are you commenting?

  4. Poor oul divil too

    Good idea representing the anti vaccine conspiracy loons as muppets alright

    Some incredible policies in Japan and Canada,bridging the urban v rural digital divide,Ireland…FFG gave it to deadbeat DOB,who’s bag man Buckley is enjoying irish justice,delayed as usual,at least the AG is no longer aggressively harassing whistleblowers for INM, just asking questions,as his weekend nixer.

    “Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation.”
    “About one-third of the people in their 20s and 30s living in greater Tokyo said they had taken steps in the past six months to move to rural Japan, according to the survey. Among 20-somethings alone, 44.9 percent said they were interested in moving to rural Japan.”

    The people who are telling us to keep away from each other allow 50,000 people to sit on top of each other twice this week in Lansdowne. 100,000. for 2 hours (not counting car sharing from all over the country) With no need for vax certs. Barely a mask in sight yesterday. Hugging and kissing all over the shop.

    But yeah, it’s pubs to blame, better lock them down if they don’t cop on. insert roll-eye emoji

  7. jungleman

    Any time these knuckle-dragging alt-right antivaxxers allow the mask to slip SOQ will blame it on a “false flag operation”. Poor deluded fella is utterly unaware of just how irrelevant and insignificant him and his thug pals are.

      from earlier….

      https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/14/covid-vaccine-mandate-detox-borax-bath

      Plenty to give out about how the pandemic has been handled – but the zero-sum-the-lizards-are-going-to-take-control-nonsense is just pathetic.

      PS. Looking forward to seeing how objections about HEPA filters start to go off the deep end….

      Chris from earlier has begun that process –

      “Squandering another billion or two is it? You know we survived just fine with flu ands colds up to now without HVAC systems.”

      … you’re about as useful as Charger at a Provo memorial…

      SOQ,Bodge,E’MAtty and F_Clueless either are aware or are so far down the rabbit hole of idiotic conspiracy theories… Geez! “False flag operation”, they will be flagellating themselves for not doing the usual BS thing of posting adverts for their bosom buddies, dregs of society that were polluting Grafton St.

    A rare breakthrough case of common sense has somehow appeared in the Independent. Thank God it’s behind a firewall which will help reduce transmission of unsafe thoughts. Stay safe everyone.

    https://www.independent.ie/opinion/comment/its-not-enough-to-obey-covid-restrictions-you-must-love-them-41047411.html

    ‘Earlier this year, in the midst of the longest lockdown in the free world, Micheál Martin told us the vaccine would set us free.

    “The vaccine programme will completely change the landscape,” the Taoiseach said. “It will transform options available to us as a society, for reopening and renewing our country.” ..

    But we haven’t got our freedoms back. Only phony freedoms with rules, restrictions and policing. Legislation on our lives is being tightened and extended every day, with no solid public health basis.

    Instead of pushback we see the bizarre phenomenon of God-fearing Ireland asking for more laws, more protections, more curbs on our freedoms. We want checks on everyone, for everything; we want to be granted permission by a designated authority to do anything otherwise we don’t feel “safe” or we’re putting others “at risk”.

    ..How quickly the slide into authoritarianism, and in the name of public safety too, as ever. Zero tolerance for any non-compliance! 100% vaccination rates and nothing less! Hefty punishments and threats of shutdown for any slippages! Cast out any dissenters!

    ..Is anyone starting to feel a bit shortchanged? Truth be told, getting our old lives back was the impetus for many people to roll up their sleeves..

    ..We got the miracle vaccines – their primary function is to reduce severe illness and deaths – to protect the vulnerable..

    But they’re not stopping transmission and infection as we were assured they would from the beginning . They haven’t ended the steamroller of Government overreach into our daily lives. They were meant to liberate us from the shackles of restrictions on the economy and society. Why haven’t they?’

        ce is getting cocky, enjoying his new found status as king potato. But I’d advise caution, king for a day, fool for a lifetime etc

      1. Fearganainm

        Do try to stifle your disappointment at this latest in a long line of setbacks for the dewormer water carrying community, of which you’ve been a vocal member. You’ll learn the futility of your repeated errors, eventually.

          1. Fearganainm

            It was indeed a(nother), setback. There’s not much more that you could call the withdrawal of an error strewn paper, is there? No change in your ongoing inability to comprehend reality, so.
