Hey all, its funny how life works because just a few months ago i was asking her questions on her insta stories... then I was told by a friend that she just gets her info from the Virgin media guys twitter...
So I started looking at their twitters around Lockdown 3.0 time for inside info - Richard Chambers, Zara King and Gavan Reilly. I also saw a few RTE guys twitters.
I was delighted with these guys giving the inside scoop and even agreed with a podcast who called them heroes of 2020.
However, in the last few days I have found myself at odds with Richard and Gavan. My sisters eldest is autistic and she is struggling at the moment with this lockdown. I noticed Richard retweeting a story of my sisters friend talking about her situation on the SAME DAY that Richard tweeted about how we should not open up anything until we have 100% vaccination... Seems a bit hypocritical no?
Then my fiancé got laid off the other day, and it came out of nowhere (its more like a furlough but we have had to get a loan freeze). Things are grim for my family right now. My other sister is in USA and my mam cries daily about not seeing her grandchildren. My cousin was hospitalized with COVID, so i do not take it lightly but we have to acknowledge that lockdowns are harrowing.
However, I am starting to get a bit suspicious of the likes of Gavan and Richard. I even think Stefanie is more level headed. Something inside me has snapped and I realise that the likes of Richard and Gavan do not take ANY days off and go to work every day and are LOVING THE ATTENTION. They are extremely judgmental and inconsistent. Are they trying to just get followers with their exaggerated tweets?
Like one of Richard's tweets was that 200,000 people a day will get the virus after a significant amount of people get vaccinated. I am not messing.
