Gulp.
Firm but fair?
Or plainly inhumane?
Only you can decide.

Sounds fair. If a well known anti-vaxxer is in your pub then everyone knows the pub is breaking the law and they are liable.
The publican was pretty nice about it by not turning him away to begin with.
…last time i was back,home shortly actually,the bar did a lock in,i went light a smoke….
NO
NO
FFS
you cant f***g smoke here Johnny,get out….but,but your serving late…you know something i and most the other regulars here are not F sorry you went ‘merica…so i cant smoke then but i can drink late…..get the F outside Johnny..
Ok.
So……. You weren’t allowed to break the law that’s been in place since 2004?
…you really don’t get out much hon,try harder.
(hint late drinks or after hours)
I was just wondering if the verbal diarrhoea had a point.
Thanks for the clarification.
its called a self own,but carry on regardless.
(you can just scroll on by,but you cant stop wont stop:)
jayzus talk bout longest goodbye like EVER-zzzzz.
You seem to do a lot of ‘self-owning’. I’m glad you found something you’re good at.
Have a nice weekend.
…cant stop,wont stop,cant stop,wont stop,cant stop,wont stop.
i have never sub commented you.
Nah they were just using that as a polite excuse. I wouldn’t serve you either.
Fair enough. The man was keen to do you a favour but your stupid mouth ruined that for you.

Too fair.
Bar owner follows rules.
Earth shattering.
100% this!
It is quite obvious that the owner is not complying but just doesn’t want it broadcasted because of the usual busybodies. Small towns don’t bother with that nonsense because people will go elsewhere- it is very unpopular with the general public.
Nonsense. Headtheball got treated with politeness and respect by a decent publican, gets his pints and then goes on Twitter.
‘A good friend before’. What a sap
Did he name the pub? If not then what is the problem with him raising the issue on twitter? Its a free country after all- just about.
Pretty sure that pub will see a marked decrease in business mind, once that gets around.
He should have told him he was a pure blood. That’d have sorted everything out.
It is very unpopular with you. Provide some evidence that “it is very unpopular with the general public.”
I know of a medium sized town where not one pub is checking- plus plenty of other reports- they are in the border region of course, where people have a choice.
They also have a choice not to buy unlaundered diesel too.
Actually no they don’t- most unknowingly buy washed diesel because it damages the engines but sure never let a good slur go to waste eh?
At the risk of repeating myself- being anti vaccine passport is a left wing position of course- but of course you are far from being left wing.
Being anti vaccine passport is very much a right-wing position. It falls in line with the right’s desire for less government control.
Are you ever not wrong? It must be exhausting.
If being anti vaccine passport is such a right wing position then why did every Irish left of centre party vote against it?
It’s a civil rights issue- of course it is left wing.
It’s a public health issue. It is not a civil rights issue. You antivaxxers are not some separate ethnicity. As you can see, the vast majority have now gotten the vaccine and you are in a very small minority. Time for you to give up and move on to the next ridiculous cause.
So why did every Irish left of centre party vote against it?
That isn’t an answer to the question. Not evidence of anything let alone evidence of public opinion.
Just a point on the popularity- or not- of this discrimination.
If it is so popular then why is a law needed? Assuming it is cancelled in October, if it is so popular then surely pubs and restaurants continue to implement it?
There is nothing stopping businesses from doing so in the north at present of course- but they don’t.
The question is “is the law popular” so stop this obfuscation. You’ve no evidence that the law is “very unpopular with the general public”.
If it is so popular then why are business in the UK not implementing it?
If it is so popular then why won’t businesses implement it after the law is changed?
Because it is not- the few pubs in England that did try to implement it back peddled double quick.
You reckon everybody wants more rules, george?
That’s just you, I suspect.
Another fella who has difficulty getting served in a good few places I’d say.
I think you can buy a star of david on the internet to sow onto your clothes… makes the point/pint even better than on twitter…
You should definitely do that.
You’re getting there, ce.
Say something funny about concentration camps.
You’re a gas man.
Working on it for the new routine….
Passports will set you free???
…. anyway, morons comparing their “discrimination because of their covid freedom fighting activities” to the discrimination, torture and ultimate murder faced by Jews, Gypsy, Slav, Gay people, political prisoners etc… under the Nazis… now that’s hilarious…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
It’s just jot the same when you don’t use the stupid buzz words. Give us an auld ratlicker. Or even a Conspiraloon for old times sake.
Frank O’Connor could have turned that into an amazing short story.
I get the impression that the pub owner was telling him never to come anymore – even after the 22nd Oct.
Small towns eh?
Yeah its the whole unclean thing except more and more evidence is emerging as to who is actually spreading the damned thing.

You couldn’t write a script like it.
if he didnt use “barred for life” then id say fine in a couple of months to go back
some of the comments people have said to me in the heat of covid emergency, id say all will be forgotten and forgiven in a few months.
First they said I couldn’t come in wearing runner, then they said I couldn’t come in with a GAA or Premiership geansaí hanging off me, then they asked me for my covid papers…
A consequence? For my publicized actions?
The shock and horror of it all! I shall need the fainting couch, immediately.
,needs. more ! punctuation ?
Oh, johnny, I simply can’t believe the locals were glad you left, the rotters. Say it ain’t so.
…bunch dirty cops and degenerates,are you ESL or something,what’s with the stumbling bumbling english….it’s not an exam …..rotters the lot them yeah,more likely drug dealers/growers and guys on the run,but not a rotter amongst us,….wtf gramps,try some herb and chill out,do I need a restraining order boopy boo.
There’s a reason you’re called johnny upskirt.
And that’s only what people who LIKE him call him.
That’ll teach Mickey to poo on his own doorstep.
My local is not complying with any of this fascist nonsense, I suspect they want to remain publicans.
Can you let me know where it is please so I can never darken its door?
Yeah sure, it’s so you can tout..
OP seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill tbh.
The publican (who OP refers to as ‘a good friend’) bent the rules for this person and then quietly had a word about it being a once off. Not making a fuss or making it into some ideological warfare.
Surely the publican, who likely has struggled financially because of covid restrictions and lockdown, is entitled to protect his business.
“Surely the publican, who likely has struggled financially because of covid restrictions and lockdown, is entitled to protect his business” yeah, though it’s a bit rich that the publican is now only serving the people who supported the closure of his business for months and not serving those who actively fought for his business to be open all that time.
It’s not really ‘a bit rich’ at all, imo.
Your comment is implies that the publican owes this person (who is, by his own admission, vocal about vaccines) some sort of debt or favour for being one of those who actively fought for his business to be open all that time by not protecting his business now, when it is allowed to be open.
“Your comment is implies that the publican owes this person ” Freedom isn’t free… and freedom fighting is thirsty work…
But that is the point Millie- he is not protecting his business, quite the opposite in fact. I do have sympathy for publicans mind because they have been put in a very difficult position, but outside of the large city centres, in order to keep their regulars, publicans have to tread a very diplomatic line.
Most are operating a ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ strategy which is playing the long term game because people will hold grudges long after this is all over. There was a government expectation that like the smoking ban, it would police itself, but it has nowhere near the same level of support.
He’s protecting his business from someone who put it on social media that the publican broke the rules for him.
Was the pub named?
Nope, why let that fact get in the way of a redundant point though..
It probably doesn’t need to be. Local man in local pub etc.
And what is the problem with that?
“Geyser on twitter gives one side of story in 140 characters or less”
Just wondering- has anyone actually been fined under this legislation?

If Mickey was any kind of a friend he’d get vaccinated and not put his buddy in that crappy position.
He’d also have homosex with him too yeah?
Is it any wonder you’ve no credibility left?
ahem,he’s an awful lot more credible than you and he’s as fecking irish as they come ‘papi’ or daddy,is it.
Oof, being defended by johnny is the final nail in the coffin for anybody.
