Telefis & Jah Wobble – Falun Gong Dancer
Re-make/re-model.
We featured the original version of this wonderful song by Telefis (Cathal Coughlan and Jacknife Lee) a few weeks ago. But now the legendary Jah Wobble has given it the mother of all makeovers in his own inimitable way.
The archive video is also a treat. Now where did I put my St Brigid’s Cross?
The album A hAon is out on March 4.
Nick says: Jah rules.

“My view is to be radical, and I accept this is radical, you need 12 lessons to learn to drive a car, you need a licence to drive a car, you need a test. Do we need some sort of, almost qualifications, licensing, education for men to go out into the social sphere?
“People will say is that is an impingement on our rights of free movement and obviously we’ve been all through this with covid but as we’ve just heard many women feel their freedom to movement is really restricted because of the danger, so I think we have to think of new ways of doing things, the same old same old won’t work.”
Professor Sam McConkey, of the Royal College of Surgeons, during the Newspaper Panel on the Brendan O’Connor show on RTE Radio 1.

While COVID cases continue to surge across the country, our pets could be suffering in silence. Globally, heart conditions among cats and dogs have increased during the pandemic. Now there is a push to import a vaccine, specially formulated for pets, before cases explode…
Aren’t they chipped already?
Pause.

Mr.Holohan,
Under the freedom of information act 2014, we would like the reasoning for the ongoing use of the vaccine passport system that is implemented in many establisments in Ireland, on how it is curbing the transmission of Covid-19?, 1/4— Ourright2freedom🕊️ (@Rights2Freedom) January 16, 2022

The Independent Science Advisory Group (ISAG) said Ireland must be prepared to do what New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has done and introduce ‘more aggressive suppression measures’
This morning.
Via ‘Zero Covid’ enthusiast The Independent Scientific Advocacy Group (ISAG) in the Irish Times:
‘…as many argue that the end of this pandemic is in sight, we must stay vigilant and our fellow citizens should be warned that there may be scenarios where we have to introduce more aggressive suppression.
We must be prepared to do what New Zealand did and is still doing, if and when needed.
Vaccines and drugs, even new ones, may not be always able to match the speed of change in Covid-19, or other novel pathogenic viruses.
We need plans for this, and the capability, and resources to deliver them.
This is not misplaced zeal, it is scientific common sense.
When faced with a catastrophic pandemic we need to accept that the Darwinian evolution we have all witnessed these past two years does not know about, much less care about, our optimism and we need to be ready and willing to err on the side of keeping society safe, and by doing so, keeping it open.
Yours,
Prof. Anthony Staines; Dr. Tomás Ryan; Prof. Patricia Kearney; Prof. Helen Dolk; Prof. Gerry Killeen; Prof. Ivan Perry; Dr. Philipp Hoevel; Dr. Julien Mercille, of The Independent Scientific Advocacy Group
