Bullet Girl – Concrete Bed

Noise punk’s not dead.

It’s alive and kicking thanks to Dublin desperados Bullet Girl who up the ante with their new single.

Guitarist Dylan Keenan directed the memorable video:

“My main vision while directing was to create a hypnotic, almost disorientating, experience to match the ferocious nature of the track. We shot the black and white sequences with (singer) Aaron in some of the most dilapidated areas of Dublin.

“He is purposely brought in and out of focus as I wanted him to almost blend into his surroundings. The song is about Dublin City, and so our aim as a band was to feature it as a character of its own in the video.”

Nick says: Bullet the grey sky.

Dr Martin Feeley’s position with the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group was ‘untenable’ after criticising Ireland’s ‘Draconian’ response to the rona

This afternoon.

Further to his stinging criticism of Covid-19 policy …

…and following the launch of an investigation by the Medical Council into Dr Marcus De Brun…

Via The Irish Times:

Dr Martin Feeley’s views that coronavirus is “much less severe” than the flu for most people and that restrictions were no longer justified caused a furore after they were reported in The Irish Times last weekend.

The HSE actively dissociated itself from his remarks and rejected his suggestion that young people should be allowed to get the virus to develop herd immunity.

Dr Feeley (70) stepped down from his post as clinical director of Dublin Midlands Hospital Group on Tuesday with immediate effect.

After his public comments, he came under heavy pressure from HSE management, who told him his position was untenable.

A doctor for more than 45 years and an employee of the health service for 30 years, Dr Feeley says he stands by his comments, but decided to resign so management in his hospital group would not be penalised.

Let Dr Feeley and De Brun be a lesson to all you other mouthy medics.

Muzzle it.
