  1.  @user-ly1vx2do4s  secondly, I said the 20 minute test was 95% accurate. That means out of 100 000, 5000 results will be potentially inaccurate. This is only really a problem if a person is positive and tests negative. You're not suggesting everyone who comes into new Zealand will be positive are you? Let's say 10 % are, which is huge, it would never be that number, that's 10 000 people . 5% of 10 000 is 500. So you 500 people out of 100 000 coming in that slip through the net. However you could also take everyone's phone number and make it compulsory that they download ac track and trace app so you know where they go and are at all times IB new Zealand. You could also make it compulsory that they have to report to a centre every 3 days and get tested again. It wouldn't be that hard to control it if you had the will

  2.  @user-ly1vx2do4s  nope. I'm not talking about a vaccine. I'm talking about what you called "herd immunity", relying on a mythical natural immunity that hasn't been proved to exist in anyone as of yet. The best they've found is a probable immunity for a few months, and that isn't in everyone they've tested either

  3.  @danielrayner7681  yeah I don't know if I agree with you about that pal. Jacinde Arden and her Labour party are way to the left of boris and the conservatives, if anyone was going to get upset about closing the borders it would be her supporters not people who've voted for Brexit and boris. Nah, the real reason is the reason for everything, money

  4.  @danielrayner7681  you might not be sure but believe me boris is. Everything he's done with regards to covid is to try and protect rich people's wealth.

  6.  @asanulsterman1025  personally I think it's about time we took control of our politics instead of leaving it in the hands of corrupt incompetents who just use sectarianism as a way to guarantee our votes. Voting purely along sectarian lines clearly isn't working as you've pointed out. I'm a unionist for what it's worth but i find myself agreeing with many of SFs economic policies. It's a stretch to say I'd vote for them but it's a damming indictment of unionist politics. I'm looking for a third way because the old one isn't working.

  7.  @asanulsterman1025  personally I've come to the conclusion that it's demographically only a matter of time now, we've had 300 years ago it was a good run. You might have something there, however we'd need to be careful it didn't end up in partition like India. One thing is for certain i won't ever be voting for the DUP again

  8.  @taintabird23  well we know which side of the fence you sit on, how's the water situation working out for you in Dublin? I think they talk a lot of sense when it comes to income and housing, you call them populist but they are sorely needed by the majority of the population and long overdue. Covid has shown us that governments can find all kinds of money and power for themselves when they want to, and most of that money has gone into the pockets of themselves and their friends and families, a group to which you no doubt belong. You don't like "populist" policies because instead of benefiting the rich elite they benefit the masses, and that doesn't help line your pockets in the short term. People like you and DUP are peas in a pod

  9.  @asanulsterman1025  I'm in my 40s but I'm thoroughly sick of the DUP it's corrupt and incompetent to the core. And I'm no longer blinded by sectarianism and stupidity to not recognise sensible policies when i see them, regardless of where they come from. You have some interesting points of view though which are worth hearing, whether you're right or not will be seen over time. As the last year has shown us in many ways, things can change fast and I think change is going to happen even faster in the future. One thing is for certain, the DUP is not a party equipped to manage such change, so we must find another way, and if that means adopting abs working with some of the more sensible economic policies proposed by SF then so be it. I'm not about to cut my nose off to spite my face, and a successful NI is more likely to be an independent one. Follow the DUP for much longer and we'll be going back to direct rule and the troubles it or a rapid defecto reunification with the Republic, so we must find a third way

  18.  @levi5073  absolute nonsense. Since brexit it’s increased 145% in the last 12 months. Why did 3 successive conservatives governments pledge to cut it below 100 000 a year?

  23.  @captainbuddyfantastic4181  so Iraqi civilians fighting against an invasion and occupying army are insurgent terrorists but when Ukrainians do it they’re fighting for freedom? Let me guess, when armed Iraqis and Palestinians are in residential areas they are using civilians as human shields but when Ukrainians set up artillery in the middle of apartment buildings and hide in houses and theatres alongside civilians they’re not?

  24. Still won’t go after Indian scammers who act with impunity

  25. It’s the most pathetic excuse I’ve ever heard. If the government really cared about children, they would go after Epstein’s clients with extreme prejudice. The same goes for Saville, Schofield, the Rochdale and Rotherham grooming gangs and the Pestminister pedophiles. And they wouldn’t put them in gilded cages like Giselle Maxwell or on separate VP wings where they all justify each others behaviour and create nonce networks, they’d be on the wing with the other criminals getting what they deserve. Do that, and there would be a dramatic drop in noncing within 5 years.

  26. Shouldn’t it be the police doing their job properly? They have no problem arresting and killing unarmed people

  27.  @Jester-Riddle  statistically irrelevant 😂 you mean like school shootings are statistically irrelevant? That’s a great way to wash your hands of responsibility and accountability, hey folks it’s statistically irrelevant unlike the US defence budget so just console the families with that and carry on
    1
  28.  @Jester-Riddle  it’s funny how many unarmed people the police manage to kill and yet when there’s someone armed and dangerous who is actually killing people they usually wait until he’s run out of bullets or victims and then kill’s himself rather than actively go in and stop them before they kill any more. Seen it with hundreds of school shootings, they just turn up with 50 cars and wait outside for the shooting to stop

  33.  @jambossaan1874  it didn't do them any good because no brexit area will ever give kier Starmer a seat

  35.  @paulrees3861  Give over, the bbc aren't that anti tory. Andrew Marr is a tory. The ex Times editor presented the Saturday and Sunday morning politics shows on bbc one for years. The controller of the bbc used to be in charge of the telegraph. The list is endless

  37. The police said this unsafe? Yes because of them. Why didn't they beat the tens of thousands of Glasgow rangers fans when they were out celebrating? The country is a powder keg, i can smell riots 2010 style only a lot worse

  40.  @boxtradums0073  the legal system is better? When are they prosecuting all Epstein’s clients?

  41.  @k0d4xbl1xy4  yeah, to protect his American clients

  42.  @boxtradums0073  far from perfect, the USA incarcerates a bigger proportion of its population than any other nation in history, more than Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia with their concentration camps and gulags

  44. If you can’t take a vaccine to defend freedom you damn sure can’t take a bullet. You’ve obviously never served otherwise you’d know you have no freedom in the military and have to take all kinds of crap

  46. Kier coming out immediately after the brexit vote saying it needs to overturned has got everything to do with this. Go and check how hartlepool voted in the referendum. Kier Starmer is unelectable because no one who voted Brexit will ever forget he wanted to take away their democratic mandate. As long as he is labour leader all he will do is prop up a failing sleaze infested Conservative government

  47. So no freedom of speech then - exactly the same as Ukraine, with all opposition parties banned

  48.  @bakedbean37  aha yes, the boogeyman that justifies NATO’s existence and expansion and the sale of all those lovely weapons that make so much profits. How utterly terrifying Russia are. It couldn’t possibly be the plan all along for this to happen could it? Couldn’t possibly be in raand corporation strategy document? Another operation Northwoods, another 911? No, no that’s far beyond the government and intelligence agency. They’d never do that
