Title: When will the pubs reopen
Post by: john m on April 30, 2020, 09:14:33 am
Pubs reopened means you can go for a pint at the bar not sitting at a table on your own or with only members of your family .

That's if things don't go pearshaped when social interaction increases.

Can't see it until they come up with a vaccine or cure.  I'd say there's no way the pubs would get insurance etc to let people mix freely at the bar like you're thinking.  Also, I could imagine people getting in fights after a few beers and the guy beside them coughs or sneezes.

I see Kim is back on the go in North Korea, funny enough the erm said a few weeks ago he was brown bread. Also on another note I see leo has agreed to meet the demands of the left wing liberals the green cunts. He said he would go along with the 7 % reduction they are looking for . We will all be paying through the noses in tax's now, and maybe forced to buy electric cars as well

it was a bad choice, the green party who I have no time for to say the least or the labour party with that clown Alan Kelly. At least the Shinners arent going to be in government. I would have Kelly as dictator before I would have scum like sinn fein in government.

I don't think the shinners really want to be in government. It's easier to snip from the sidelines when you don't have to difficult decisions

They should capitalise on the goodwill created by the enhanced COVID '19 welfare payments and subsidies. By that I mean they should explain that we need to increase our tax to GDP ratio to at least 40% to ensure Govt is properly resourced to look after us going forward. That money should be used to expand the civil service and bring all healthcare into the public sector under the Slawntya Care banner, However, they are more likely to put a few pence on USC to build an influenza fund that will cost more to manage than it accrues.

It could be sold given that Govt has proved it can be trusted to look after us. It needn't necessarily concentrate on PAYE workers. In fact, bringing self-employed into the tax net could be popular with the PAYE sector. Most will probably go without a holiday this year and many will discover what a great environment we have on our doorsteps so taxing air miles mightn't seem like such a bad idea, particularly as it could discourage diseased foreigners from visiting. We need to look at a whole new lifestyle with community, the environment and quality of life front and centre... the best things in life are free, for everything else there's taxation?

What do ya mean bring the self employed in to the tax net  ? We are taxpayers already, at least I an anyway

I mean we're too heavily reliant on the PAYE sector. I've breezed through life paying fuck all, for example. In fact I asked one of the election canvassers why my Polish neighbours - living 2 families to a rented gaff - should have to pay for my water... they went away agreeing that they shouldn't, I think. I was being a little economical with the truth, to be honest, as I didn't mention that Mrs. Catcher is a PAYE worker but they got the point.

How Noble of you to be concerned about your polish neighbors
Title: Re: When will the pubs reopen
Post by: Rat Catcher on May 02, 2020, 09:27:35 pm
That's what community is about... communal responsibility... that's what Govt ought to be selling as the "new normal". State of the art healthcare for all should be the first objective.

You'd have admire all the taxi drivers forced to work, spreading the virus thus creating mountains of overtime for health workers and Solicitors, oh, and crematoria.

To be fair, Vinny Kearns is the only man I heard on the wireless advocating COVID '19 dole for taximen / taxi drivers... hardly encouraging anyone too work, DM. In fact the erm posted an article within which Vinny shamelessly sensationalised Mick the moan's passing to encourage drivers not to work.

I'll have to agree there, Vinny Kearns does have a face for radio.

Christmas pints may be cancelled after business groups were told in a conference call with Tánaiste Leo Varadkar last night that it is "unlikely" pubs will reopen this year.

Around 10 different business groups - including four of those in the hospitality sector - were told that when the latest lockdown is lifted, the country will more than likely be on level 3 of the Government's Living with Covid plan.

This would mean pubs and restaurants will only be allowed to accommodate outdoor dining for up to 15 people.

A source in the hospitality sector said Mr Varadkar was very "straight up" and "didn't sugar coat it".

They'll not open in the New year when the numbers sky rocket after auld Lang syne. It's gonna be cyclical until they find a vaccine. That works.
