Vincent was openly chuffed to bits and it was great to see.

Just caught up with the programme yesterday (while suffering with a sore head). Great programme! Well done TV3 for capturing the atmosphere in Dublin yesterday.

tampopo · 25-05-2015 3:26pm

I haven't been watching the show as much recently but I just heard on Saturday where the next 'discussion' is being held. So, at lunch time today, I dropped by to see the preparations.

tampopo · 25-05-2015 10:51pm

Well,

that was a blast! No Michael Conaghan. Intros and a whinge from Eric Byrne.

Green Party speaker got cut down sharpish early on by VB and didn't speak again.

General antipathy towards Eric Byrne throughout. Sometimes sad, often laughable but enjoyable all the same. Will be interesting to see how much they cut out.

Has anyone been at other ones where they cut out the barracking, haranging and chanting?

Roger_007 · 25-05-2015 11:18pm

What's wrong with Vinnie. Is he claiming that nobody had the right to vote NO. I thought we lived in a democracy?

frostyjacks · 25-05-2015 11:21pm

They've dropped the H-bomb early

take everything · 25-05-2015 11:21pm

First family first.
WTF does that mean

I didn't hear that!

He seems to just want to understand why someone would vote no

Happyman42 · 25-05-2015 11:24pm

If, as it seems, all the NO voter have 'many friends who are homosexual and lesbian', have we got the numbers in the country right?

take everything · 25-05-2015 11:26pm

It would be good if the first family first man explained his fear for kids to the guy on his right. That would be an interesting debate. They're not unpacking that at all.

Just watched it on the player tonight and I thought it was a very good programme. RTE could learn a thing or two from TV3.

Were you there (The George) on Saturday?

Roger_007 · 25-05-2015 11:28pm

I don't see the point in this discussion. The referendum is over. The result is in. Let's all just move on ffs.

No sadly the queue was outrageously long! I had to go elsewhere.

Finally getting down to what this guy has in his head

I wish I had Panti's figure!

I hate that line so much. Anyone that would claim to be 'friends' with someone who they'd deny equal rights to is even worse than those who are simply bigoted or ignorant in their views.

It's the epitome of condescension too. 'Oh, I'm his friend.. but liberating him will hurt us both'

It's such bullcrap. People used that weak as shit argument against the abolition of slavery too.

Happyman42 · 25-05-2015 11:32pm

Panti was a genuine turning point...I missed that in the Abbey by one night! :mad:

alan partridge aha · 25-05-2015 11:33pm

Vinnie you are such a sycophant.

Atlantic Dawn · 25-05-2015 11:34pm

There was a lot of people didn't know George Michael was gay, I didn't, thought it was just the 80's/90's style at the time.

hotmail.com · 25-05-2015 11:35pm

Vincent is pretty spot on about the No side.

Jaysis, you must really hate all the shows about the banking crisis then.

Vincent is dancing on the grave of the no campaign

Vinny's going for gay icon status.

”let’s talk about another stigmatised group in society... FF".
Genuinely didn’t expect that and lolled.

Someone is lying about this MM/Aevril debacle, I wonder which it is?

George Michael's gay? :eek:

Lady Chatterton · 25-05-2015 11:39pm

I like Averil, I think she is genuine and will be a big loss to FF.

Micheal Martin did his best to rubbish her today but it will backfire on him.

Atlantic Dawn · 25-05-2015 11:39pm

She did the right thing but the question is whether she can sail under her own wind.

But he's right in what he's saying.

Last Christmas I gave him my heart

Atlantic Dawn · 25-05-2015 11:41pm

FF didn't get on RTÉ because they are currently a tiny party.

alan partridge aha · 25-05-2015 11:41pm

Because in reality FF grassroots don't support SSM

Atlantic Dawn · 25-05-2015 11:42pm

I think Vin wants another assignment to The George.

But the very next day, he gave it away... That's the last he gets my heart :eek:

I might forgive you tomorrow ...

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

So why don't we make a little room
In my BMW, babe
Searching for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion

Vincent really should get the guests to read shit out from cards and auto-cue at this stage.

It'd save a good half hour

This Barret guy is totally deluded. He seems to think that Aer Lingus is still owned by the state?

Xenophile · 27-05-2015 8:23am

Watching Vincent Browne last night, he made it clear that he was in favour of making it a criminal offence where parents smack their children.

Vincent has been a constant campaigner for a more equal society and I admire his work in this regard.

However on this particular subject his view will not help many of the underprivileged and disadvantaged people, i.e parents, lone parents, partners, early school leavers, people with addiction problems etc who have been and are still are marginalised by our social policies.

Many of the above have not the temperament, or vocabulary or the skill of refraining from smacking their children when the children are being very disruptive, deliberately teasing, insulting, bullying or blackmailing the adult.

This new proposed legislation is a further example of EU legislation gone mad, maybe we have to look to David Cameron to save us from some of this crazy EU legislation.

A gentle smack on the arm or the leg for some maybe an intelligent way to help a child see common sense and let the child know that throwing tantrums will not work.

FloatingVoter · 27-05-2015 6:39pm

^ Dave Cameron's solution is to leave the brat in the pub and let the tot make his own way home. In this if nothing else, me and Dave are fully agreed.

Roger_007 · 27-05-2015 11:05pm

Why is anyone surprised that a senior cleric in the Vatican supports what is, after all, church teaching. The church maintains that homosexual acts are sinful. What's new?
