Last night/this morning.

Berlin, Germany.

Translation:

‘Berlin: Homeless people without 3G (fully vaccinated, tested, or recovered) proof are no longer allowed to seek refuge from the cold on platforms. The Senate regrets the decision, but remains tough.’

    Keep everyone “safe” as long as it’s on our terms.

    Should be ashamed of themselves. Should be …

  2. Cui Bono?

    The German government are doing a great job waking people up to the tyranny unfolding all over the world.

      Yes, people should be aware of the mistreatment of homeless people. All those anti-homeless measures like removing benches from public areas, or making it impossible to lie down in outside buildings or under bridges. Utterly rotten carry-on.

      you probably need a social security number, for which you need an address, for which you’d need a bank account for which you’d need an address etc…

          it’s like that in France for pretty much everything, once you fall through the cracks, you’re fupped

      No, they do not. Have been available in Germany on a ‘no questions asked’ basis since June at certain vaccination points. Generally one needs a proof of address, which is meant to be required by anyone who ‘lives’ more than two weeks in the country irrespective of a pandemic. Some sort of ID would be needed to get the vaccination card though.

        Josh, have you re-read your comment? Are you a politician? The only glib words you have not used are probably in a civil servant’s algorithm – it’s a bit like a roBOT; do you have civil servant robots in Germany? There is not a single word in your comment which amounts to anything more than a nursery rhyme.

        Your choice of username is interesting.

          Think you got the wrong end of the pinker there Steph. The question was asked, do the homeless have access to vaccines in Germany. The answer is yes and I was trying to relay that the normal levels of German bureaucracy do not apply, albeit without outrage or emotion to the original post or comparisons to nazi Germany which are very much in vogue around these parts. I dont live in the country and am neither a politician.
          The nursery rhyme thing I do not get. Josh, as in joshing about homeless people? Not into that neither.
          I see this was all rather unnecessary as BabyMonkey (below) explains it a lot more succinctly than I did.
          Computer Love to you and yours.

            Josh; initially, I thought you were just an algorithm like so many FGFF bots who comment on this site until I read your comment to E’Matty which reads: ‘You in fact are sickening to me. I often throw up in my mouth at the pure poo that you type, fear mongering whack a mole spoof bai.’

            BTW, do yourself a favour and don’t play word games, belittle, insult or patronise others because you never know with whom you’re engaging – you may think you’re special and anonymous on the internet, but, unless you want to be buried in a pauper’s grave, you’ll always be known to someone, somewhere out there as a gobshite.

    They are definitely able to access vaccines here (even without documentation). A free daily test would also be available if you weren’t yet jabbed up … the 3G rule applies to all public transport.

    Sickening policy. Ze Germans really have lost the run of themselves. Looks like all their “guilt” over their last twirl was an act. They clearly love to be self righteous, arrogant and cruel. Weren’t the homeless targeted in that last ‘epidode’ too?

    1. Josh

      You in fact are sickening to me. I often throw up in my mouth at the pure poo that you type, fear mongering whack a mole spoof bai.

  5. No more hero

    Isn’t it a bit silly that the people who have NEVER been homeless know EXACTLY how to NOT be homeless…
    And then, guess what..?

    … they lose their internet access and you never hear from them again.

    There’s a lot of people in crisis.
    Too many others are in denial.

    … ah well, in moderation again because I wrote etihsbog. Maybe I got the wrong end of the reknip?

  7. Josh

    Steph, I tried to write a response here that was taking your concern serious but if you really believe that FFFG have designed an algorithm that is capable of automatically posting individual responses to comments/questions on this site, I feel that there is no point in discussing that, as your reality is far too removed from mine.

    Re my comment to E Matty, you tell me ‘do yourself a favour and don’t play word games, belittle, insult or patronise others because you never know with whom you’re engaging – you may think you’re special and anonymous on the internet, but, unless you want to be buried in a pauper’s grave, you’ll always be known to someone, somewhere out there in the universal ether as a gobshite’

    If you lack the self awareness or can’t see the irony in that statement, what is the point in engaging with you?
    Alas I am obviously engaging with you, irony wha!

    Matty has continuously posted on here that the vaccines have only been created by ‘them’ to kill anyone who receives them. Each time he does, he is met with what I consider reasonable and grounded arguments. Like most who hold his viewpoint, there is no talking/debating with him at this point.

    Should I refrain from slagging him when I see him again stating that the ‘ze Germans’ are planning a mass genocide comparable to world war II? Probably but it is the internet where the ideology ‘chat rubbish get banged’ will most likely always ring true.

    If you aren’t aware of the damage being done by the lies and misinformation posted on the internet (this site being particularly guilty) to the collective mental and physical health of the planet, I really don’t know what to say to you

    Again Computer Love to you and yours, maybe I can still hold out hope for a benevolent burial.

    Ps thanks for reposting your comment so I could reply personally to you. Like most in here, addicted to the drama/’debate’. Here’s to a future and a new year where the Bodger man aint pulling our collective strings.
