    “raus”, “schnell”, many cattle-prods and a one-way cattle-truck for Mr. Djokovic…

      What, they’re transporting him to a concentration camp to make him do slave labour in a harsh factory, before gassing him and burning the evidence?

    #novaxdjokovic Hahahaaahahahaaa! The “medical” “exemption” may have gotten him into the tournament, but it wasn’t to a high enough standard to get him into Australia!

      1. SOQ

        A win for the simpler of minds- except they knew excactly what his excemption was before he ever boarded the plane.

        Petty minded and spiteful- just up Daisy’s street.

          1. SOQ

            And there there is the other one, Sara- plays the troll yet seems to know the intricate political differences between the Catalonians and Spanish in Barcelona?

            These trolls and spin needle accounts are ruining this site.

          2. SOQ

            @Rob_G- they knew well in advance what his exemption was and could have made a decision then. Instead, they decided to play stupid power games. It reflects very badly on the Australian immigration services.

          Whay don’t these attention-seeking paranoiacs who complain about discrimination and their loss of rights and compare the situation Nazi Germany ad nauseum … they should be ashamed of themselves … why don’t they go out there and simply acquire the virus that they never stop mentioning is a only mild flu (you too, Bodger)? Once you’ve had the virus you then acquire an immunity cert and you can go anywhere you like, it’s an, ehm, no-brainer, so why not do that?

          1. SOQ

            Because they you are buying into the principle of a tagged or CertEd society which should be abhorrent to any free thinking democrat. Especially as not a single passport advocate can provide a shred of evidence that they reduce spread.

            Besides, you assume everyone who had it was tested which is most definitely not the case and anyways, the majority of high cycle PCR positives are false so- what is the point?

          2. Truthy

            You’re confusing “democrat” (huh?) with terminally irritating, blinkered libertarian bore.

    1. Daisy Chainsaw

      Icing on the cake is the whinging and hissyfits thrown by the antivaxx fanbois.

      Impotent temper tantrums all around on a beautiful winter’s day.

    Phew, some much-needed relief for the airline shares in my portfolio which have taken a battering in the last three months.
    I’ll soon be able to afford my usual summer sojourn in Santa Ponsa at this rate …

    1. TenPin Terry

      Of course I holiday in far more exotic climes but I just didn’t want the plebs on here to be outraged.

      1. Truthy

        Is that the only schtick you have? … It’s about as engaging as SOQ’s or any of the rest of the Dealz George Orwells on here.

          1. Papi

            And that is the truth, you sad sad little man.
            Tell me, is tenpin a reference to how often and easily you’re knocked over?
            Heh, heh, heh.

    Looks like Nigel might get his Pandemic after all…

    https://journal.rajeshtaylor.com/life-insurance-ceo-says-deaths-up-40-among-those-aged-18-64-in-indiana/

    The number of hospitalisations in the state is now higher than before the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced a year ago, and higher than it’s been in the past 5 years, Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana’s Chief Medical Officer, said at a news conference last Wednesday.

    Just 8.9% of ICU beds are available at hospitals in the state, a low for the year, and lower than at any time during the pandemic. But the majority of ICU beds are not taken up by COVID-19 patients – just 37% are, while 54% of the ICU beds are being occupied by people with other illnesses or conditions.

    Those who are still living, may want to short insurance companies to help offset higher premiums for medical bills. Especially those double, triple and fourth times a charm jabbed.

    I wonder what is killing all these people? I can’t quite work it out. These excess deaths only after the vaccines rolled out. Maybe it was caused by a new threat, never seen before in history?

    Like a novel vaccine never used before? It couldn’t be Covid-19, as Covid deaths are way down. And they are dying from a variety of causes, not just a single cause. Consistent with a wide range of adverse events caused by the COVID-19 vaccines, if you believe VAERS data.

      1. hmmm

        “The Head of OneAmerica Insurance said the death rate is up 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.”

        Since COVID is really the flu rebranded into a hyped-up PANDEMIC!!! in order to push Experimental Not Vaccines, the real problem going forward will be excess deaths from the Not Vaccines.

        Do you think the insurance companies will sue Government in order to lift the Pharmaceutical liability shield?

        These fascist corporations (having regulations mandated by public servants for their benefit) may end up destroying each other!!

        *Gets Popcorn*

        By the way Cian, CDC are involved in the COVID scam and the Not Vaccines, so their numbers are not reliable.

        But you know that.

        1. Cian

          CDC *compile* numbers for each state, each state is responsible for their own figure. The numbers of deaths aren’t made up.
          You are in full-on conspiracy-theory mode since you won;t accept any numbers.

          Oh, and for the n’th time, the flu is different to Covid. For example in the US they continued to test for flu during 2020 and 2021 (at the same or higher rates than previous years) and there was little or none.

    Next ten days critical… “Summer of freedom” incoming

    The Daily Mail realise that’s literally an entire season away right?

    What’s the craic with Spring? “Spring of Solitude” is it?

  6. Micko

    Tens of thousands of Covid cases not counted in December apparently. That backlog in the last few days of Dec was worth an additional 200k cases or so.

    Phew…

    At least this now means NPHET’s worst predictions came true then. Not like them to be WAY off in their modelling.

    Good job lads.

    1. SOQ

      This is the most extreme example of state over reach in our life times. It is also the most extreme example of incompetence, malfeasance and the political class’s inability to make decisions without their extensive ass covering exercises done first.

    Lads. Lads. Listen.

    ‘Leinster House was urged to keep the windows of its offices closed at night because of a rogue fox that had urinated in the neighbouring Department of the Taoiseach.’

    ‘In September, the carcass of a bird was reported in the Taoiseach’s department next to a female toilet. A report said: “Dead seagull was removed for disposal and no further action is required.” ‘

    Nature is healing. Or possibly fighting back.

    Is Imelda May in it?
