My inner pc'ness was a tad triggered at the spastic mention but equilibrium was restored when I substituted that s word with 'self selecting retards'.

I use spastic in the 1990’s childhood sense when someone displays a lack of understanding of something simple despite having a fully developed brain. A backwards Cunt. A luder. Gobshite.

It's a sorry state of affairs no doubt.

I am 80 years old, so was a child in the forties and fifties; as children we relied on the common sense of our parents who, in turn, implicitly taught us common sense (and critical thinking). We had nobody hyping us up about the winter flu or the weather. We relied on/fended for ourselves beautifully thank you very much... as you mention we also had a pantry stocked with non-perishable items, I remember such things as tinned beans and apricots/peaches, rice, flour - those were the happy days of stay-at-home mums, who baked bread (home baked bread was a treat for our family, so we welcomed bad weather... of course, we were also out playing in it!)

My generation is trying to restore those principles. I hope that gives you some comfort Eleanor

Thank you Stephen... I am a born optimist, so I do live in hope, though I would love to see the tide turning before I slope off this mortal coil! From the sixties, I lived and worked in many cultures and I love PEOPLE - without the present-day appalling manipulation being carried out by governments on their citizens, we are wonderful 😊

I get along with the average foreigner very well. I just have no time for a foreign culture asserting itself here at the expense of the Irish

Agree 100%... as a child I came into contact, via my father's work, with Tanganyikan (now Tanzania) College of Surgeon students; I was fascinated by their stories and, as a result, vowed to work in an African country one day - which I did. I love different cultures and getting to know their people. However, our present immigrant policy is neither good for the Irish nor for the immigrants; I live in Donegal and, since a few years, we have been calling it the new plantation.

Excellent work as usual Stephen. It's becoming increasingly apparent just how utterly remote controlled the majority of people are.

It was a bit of a lazy article if I am being honest. But ye, the state of people when they move as a herd. Scary shit.

I enjoyed it. You described it perfectly. Their behaviours are a terrifying phenomenon to witness….. and it’s wearing very thin tbh.

Amusing Interesting & thought provoking. We get enough of your focus & time, don’t beat yourself up for writing some more casual pieces here and there.

I found it difficult to read back through in points but I’m not to worried, I like casually putting out a few words too.

Terrifying ain’t it. It’s the realisation they’ll drag you down with them given half a chance. It’s hard to see a mass awakening before the boot is firmly stamping on our collective faces.

Brilliant article.

It was always like that. It's just that, before March 2020, we didn't notice that most people act in unison according to what they're told.

Now we know.

Superb writing. A wee bit cruel but very funny. I agree-even tho many are wakening, the vast majority are blissfully floating with the current of RTE-generated BS. A fight over a pan loaf would be the most exciting part of their week. Sad.

I reckon they are all waiting for the next telegram from from Montrose. Loaded springs.

I didn’t read it past the first paragraph because I didn’t need to. I know !

Well done for taking the time though to educate people.

It’s all manufactured
