Thing is though its advice and not a mandate. Big difference... in Ireland many over 70’s didn’t know it was advice and thought it to be law. Many here very upset over this...but now they know...

Well so be it ! You're going to hear a lot more from me on every media outlet possible, especially at the weekend, I'll be banging on about awful Brexit will be and demanding another referendum to overturn the decision and keep on having them until this happens !

Like Sweden 5 months ago?! Lol!

Dervlen I'm alright Jack 🧐

This is a shame! Totally disrespectful!!

So basically, the 'Young' T*ss**rs, who think they're immune and so have blatantly ignored all advice & get off scott free, where as those who followed the rules get penalised? Something not right there.

Define elderly

Sure. But they need others help to guarantee their basic necessities of daily life, like food and medicine.

I'm a carer and I'll be bringing them out try stop me .✌️✌️✌️👋👋
