That's really pathetic. Is there any line you won't cross with your stupid, insensitive smileys?

Assuming everything is still f**ked come Feb and you lads are still at Level 4 or 5, how easy is it for a non-EU citizen to pass through Dublin airport? She’s been living under lockdown pretty much since March so she’s safe, and will more than happily self-isolate for 14 days with her grandkids in our house ( ). Then what’s the craic with getting her north? Any laws against that?

The press have been gagging for a death in this demographic for months. It's similar to when they wheeled out the healthcare workers a month or two back who ended up on ventilators.

God help us all if a poor child dies from it here. Just watch the feeding frenzy that will ensue

Ireland is pretty dodgy on anti-semitism.

I've heard pretty shocking stuff from well-educated people.

Yep. I have been in rooms with otherwise sensible people crapping on about the West Bank and Nablus and blockades with about as surface a knowledge you could have. They cross party lines and they are invariably completely misinformed. It's wrapped up in the PLO/IRA bit and the peace keeping soldiers were always good for a story about how the Palestinian women who sold them trinkets had an uncle shot while riding around on a cow. The whole thing is a shit show but we long ago took sides

Well, you could say the same for lots of things - milk, chips, pizzas whatever.

Maybe limit people to potatoes and water for the duration.

Absolutely you could but I think for ease saying groceries comes under one heading doesn't take from my point.

The statement 'clothes aren't essential' as a standalone statement doesn't exactly stand up to scrutiny, does it? In the same way saying 'groceries aren't essential' is a more extreme example.

The buying process for both is different. People pick up, put down, try on etc cloths. You normally don't lick the bottle until it's yours......all yours.

See above.

Clearly boutique fashion shops aren't essential clothing but some clothing you just go and buy like groceries and alcohol. And certainly when you're buying wine in a decent wine shop, you can take your time selecting.

As far as I know, there hasn't been any trying on clothes since March?

I'd imagine that Cam is one of the few people who spend as much time buying wine as he does clothes.

Also think that some places have open fitting rooms with clothes being cleaned or left for 72hrs after being tried on. There was talk of it on the radio anyway but I haven't been in a clothes shop for months so couldn't say for sure.

Hugely. You will have Trevor Hogan go on ships trying to get through a blockade and everybody lose their knickers when they are arrested. It's a blockade because the Jewish public demand safety from their politicians and at that time Fatah and Hamas were at it. I have no idea what sort of future there is there. Gaza is completely unviable. Israel not much moreso with the West Bank protruding into it. Another proper war will bring the whole of North Africa and the Middle East into it as there are no Muslims on the sidelines anymore. Israel has just about got away with it for a long time and the US is pretty vulnerable these days.

I just accept I'll never understand the conflict well.

I've read a lot about it over the years. Met nice Israelis, met shit Israelis. The Jews trucked along nicely in the Ottoman Empire. Most lived in Rumelia which was basically the Balkans. No hassles until the 19th century when pogroms started there and all across North Africa and in the ME. Arab nationalism was partly the cause and the usual anti Jew dey tuk r jewbs crap. The question of whether Zionism was a cause of or came from the pogroms is debatable. Anyway come the 20th the race was on the populate the area west of Jordan and the Jews went from something like 5% in 1910 to 35% by the 40's. It was a total arse race in an attempt to get as many bums on seats as possible with the Arabs settling hundreds of thousands as did the Jews. The Jews would legally buy up the land and housing. The Arabs had seen the problem early on and had tried to out settle them so by the 40's you had like 2 million living there when something like 80k Arabs and Christians had lived there in the late 19th century. That's the big lie from the Palestinians that they are there forever. Most of them settled like motherfückers at the exact same time as the Jews.

As for the 600k kicked out they had only been living there for a small number of years. That's the lie. I realised it was absolute cock from the Arabs when they maintained the census taking while accurate in the whole of the Ottoman empire was way off in that tiny parcel of land. Now if your argument is the Jews shouldn't have tried to settle there as per Zionism well that's valid but then you get into the whole where would a Jewish homeland be. In the early 20th century there was a decent bet.
