guestposter - 09:21 Sun Sep 27, 2020 Mr McMenamin [organiser of an anti-lockdown rally in Donegal] added that it was up to the Irish people to challenge regulations saying Irish schools were now like prison camps.

WorldbyStorm - 15:38 Sat Sep 26, 2020 I quite like Fred Kaplan’s posts on Slate.com.

Indeed […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:12 Fri Sep 25, 2020 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:42 Fri Sep 25, 2020 From the Independent last week: A senior Cabinet member defended the delay in reacting to the advice [to impose restrictions] by noting that the rise in cases has yet to lead to a significant increase in hospitalisations or deaths. “Yes, there is an increase but bear in mind during an average flu season there are […]A |
