DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: “I’ve been let down - and I’m not the only one.”

It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

    Seriously. How much do you get paid for shilling China so hard? And where do I sign up?

      “why are we talking about the communist party of china under an article about how the bourgeoisie continues to accumulate wealth to the detriment of the proletariat?”

        This thread is about a dude in Ireland. It has nothing to do with China.

        Say what you want about the west, but China isn’t what the world should be either.

          The comment it is in reply to says:

          At all levels of government we’re (worldwide) making due with less while these fucking parasites grow.

          So Yogthos provides a counterpoint where a government is investing in the lower rungs of the society instead of squeezing them. If you want to dispute the mentioned facts it’s one thing but the comment is still relevant and not out-of-nowhere China shilling.

          The thing is that the comment rings true about the other AES countries also. OP (of the thread, not the post) has identified a problem, and the commies are suggesting a solution to the problem, with statistics that prove it to be viable. You’re dismissing the solution as off-topic, but it’s very relevant. The thread is directly relevant to the article, and the reply is directly relevant to the thread.

          Say what you want about the west, but China isn’t what the world should be either.

          But it is. In lieu of something better, we should all be like China.

          It’s pretty hilarious how I posted sourced information that made you really mad, but since you had no actual counter point to make you just proceeded to expose yourself as a clown by regurgitating personal attacks you’ve memorized. A great way to tell us all that you’re really mad, but too dumb to say anything intelligible on the subject. 😂

            Oh you got me. I’m so mad and dumb.

            Dude, you endlessly post about how awesome China is. I don’t have to love everything about the west to realize that that’s fucking weird.

            Every time anyone calls you out on anything you use your “seethe and cope” catchphrase.

            It’s either your job or you’re a nut. It’s not worth debating you.

              When a communist with a politically-oriented account who posts in communist communities of communist instances makes primarily posts in support of communism and communist countries (any explanation for his motives is beyond the comprehension of the limited and finite human mind, he must have been paid by someone to post that comment):

              Every time anyone calls you out on anything

              There’s nothing to call him out on. All that you dronie losers say is “how dare you say a country that I don’t like is good with sources, you’re not allowed to do that!”

              The fact that you took the time to write this drivel is pretty hilarious. It’s nice to know that my posts really get under the skin of people like you.

                You either have zero self awareness or you’re a shill. I don’t really care. Either way you suck.

                  You keep on replying with your childish personal attacks on me here, so clearly you do care. Good of you to expose yourself as an angry loser who attacks random people on the internet. That’s all you are.

                    I do care that someone might get roped in to your weird agenda and I feel it’s necessary to call you out as the shill you are.

                    If you had balanced arguments it would be different, but you’re very black and white in your support of China and hatred of the west. When challenged you go straight to “seethe and cope” catchphrase. You don’t have discussions in good faith so there’s no point in discussing with you and nothing you say should be taken at face value.
