Brilliant storyand thanks for writing it down. Amazing what people will do when told by their own governments. Critical thinking out the door. People have had enough and this winter will be interesting. Thanks again and please keep up the great work! Regards, David

Cheers David. Appreciate that. Mad isnโ€™t it and yet they still canโ€™t see they are being played.

I think most know the truth. However, people are weak. They are so deathly afraid of saying anything or even questioning so-called "authority ". They are waiting for the dam to break. And it will. Hope they can get to the right side of the flood waters. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

Thanks so much for your story. Great to read something positive in the morning.

Delighted to hear so many Irish people non compliant with nonsense. I have hope that this will continue for Autumn when they again try try to force this madness on us.

Love reading your stories, thank you for sharing ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's great to have found you here on substack! I used to follow you on twitter. Let's hope they don't just all fall back in line next winter

Cheers John. Iโ€™m here to stay. Substack seem to be more tolerant of facts than Twatter.

Great account of your experience. Not only do I expect there to be pushback if the โ€˜authoritiesโ€™ attempt a winter regain on idiocy, I believe the people all over the world will be uprising and there will be a trial beginning next for crimes against humanity

The Spanish rules have been insane. My friend told me she was only allowed outside after 8 pm for a walk (masked), because specific age groups were allocated specific times that they were allowed outdoor exercise. OMG.

Spain has just been mad. I believe that different provinces had different rules. There was no uniformity anywhere.

It does seem relatively sane now compared to the last 2 years apart from the masking up on public transportation.

It takes courage to be one of the first not to comply but others will follow if they feel the same way. They just need someone to lead them!

Nice on the ground reporting!

Thank you. Itโ€™s all about keeping it real. Hopefully it will entice people to start travelling again and that they have little to fear. After all, the authorities are doing everything in their powers to make it as unpleasant as possible so people stay at home.

I am heartened by this post. I was an American ex-pat living in Dublin as a graduate student in the late 80s and early 90s. The Irish I knew during this period were proud of their history of subversive lawlessness. Itโ€™s been tragic to watch past friends become GenX-Euro-Wokesters-stroke-โ€œcovidiansโ€.

To me the loss of overarching Catholic identity (even in its atheist form) left a void that other sources of authority were ready to exploit. I would guess something similar to be the case in Spain as well.

Thanks for this, gives me hope!

This was because of the great evil lie of covid for fear and control and has worked for the few now we have to stand and fight for control back to where it should belong with the people and then bring this evil to account
