It gets particularly bonkers with the claims that the test kits are being used to spread COVID, and that the vaccine is what's killing people. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, they used a bit of unnecessary poetic licence but strip that away and there are some pertinent facts in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Is it just co-incidence that the booster jabs started to be given just after the Island was opened to people from elsewhere, and schools were re-opened? Could it not be that the increase in death statistics was due more to the toxicity of English visitors? The author does not seem to mention that although people were being banged up for taking liberties with other people's health as well as their own, the residents of the Island have had a lot of far greater freedoms than people elsewhere. Those freedoms are ignored. "this would never be tolerated in England but the obvious joys of not having to wear masks; being able to visit sick relatives; being able to attend their funerals when dear ones die; embracing the luxury of being confined to the Island; being able to go to a sporting event; being able to join one’s irksome “friends” for a pint".... The old quote of “70,000 people clinging to a rock” starts the article off well by showing the ignorance of the writer - it is “70,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock”. I'm haaaappy here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
