Germany is Not Being Honest About Who is Assaulting Children at Swimming Pools Sat Jul 05, 2025 11:00 | Eugyppius
In the last 10 years, Germany has welcomed a lot of ill-behaved young men for no discernible reason, and along the way citizens have had the dubious privilege of discovering whole new categories of crime, says Eugyppius.

The Left is in a panic over the defunding of the Gavi 'Vaccine Alliance'. But while the global vaccine industry has been lucrative, the biggest drivers of improved health are sanitation and nutrition, says Dr David Bell.

Jump To Comment: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1I note , by recent photos how ' Meatloaf Harney ' has been to the barbers shop to give us a peep at
her new look , for such a person who has not even had the distinction of a mandate from the irish
electorate it just goes to show how utterly thick we are .
To have Meatloaf 24/7 ruining our health service on a nixer basis we deserve everything we are not
getting and more .
Wake up you fools and kick the fucker in the same place she is kicking you ...
We must be the laughing stock of U-R.I.P.
Theres a lot of truth in the comment about people taking more responsibility about their own
health , having said that a friend of mine who has retired recently is already complaining about
his ' new fangled ' medical card , i met him in town the other day , giving out , as per usual when
his arid sense of humour was in full flight , he maintains his health has gotten worse since his
medical card was ' awarded ' to him , he also said since going to his new G.P. he has been sent
for blood tests , x rays etc , and his results have shown up various medical complaints , and is
quite adament in returning his medical card to the H.S.E. & go back on the drink and smokes .
Maybe he has a point .
I sympathise with your situation but I was referring to general hospital admissions. It's not a case of rich and poor so let's get over that.
My point is that in general terms, people do need to take more responsibility for their health and not be passive consumers of the pharma-led service we now have.
I do believe we have a doctor-dominated system and not all people need to go to hospital, which is about the most dangerous place to be( see Ralph Nader). Iatrogenic illnesses are a huge problem, even in cases where the correct medication was taken.
I accept your experience of A&E. I too have had a very similar experience but that is not the issue I was attempting to address.
So 'nature doctor' ".. .would question whether we need more doctors, nurses and so on. I would prefer if people took more responsibility for their own health and that we invested more education and prevention."
That's not the question I asked after waiting 15 hours with a patient with a broken leg who was left sitting on a wooden chair in the Mater out-patients last Saturday. And there were others waiting even longer. There was just one orthopedic doctor on duty and a handful of nurses trying to the work of at least double their number.
Yes, let's have less of them. Sure won't responsible patients go next door to the Mater Private and as for the rest, forget them. Maybe the patient I was with should have educated herself not to get knocked over on the street and suffer a broken leg?
The economy doesn't need the less well off injured, sick or elderly at present. So, let's get real. Can we really afford a decent health service, which includes preventative strategies, when there are billionaires struggling to simply keep their swimming pools heated?
I would question whether we need more doctors, nurses and so on. I would prefer if people took more responsibility for their own health and that we invested more education and prevention. Have a look at the Cuban model.
Think outside of the box!
Well done to the organisers of the march.
I agree that unity is necessary. There was controversy over the fight to save breast cancer services when people from Letterkenny got into bed with Mary Harney and swallowed her promises hook, line and sinker. One actually was rolled out to congratulate Harney when services were moved from Sligo. Beware the coffee morning hanger oners. Unite to save our health service.
Paula, an organisation of each protesting group needs to be formed, as individual protests are being ignored by scary mary harney and her friends in government. A major public protest needs to be organised as the pensioners did.
Ian Paisley shut down the north of Ireland with a general strike and achieved his aims but we seem incapable of doing the same in the south because all our protests are small and they do not affect the people that are ruining the Nation with their greed and coruption.
