Lorna Byrne on the Late Late Show

I just could not get over the stupidity of the audience that they clap this lying charlatan. She started off by talking about seeing angels with cameras in the audience. Tubbers of course missed the obvious questions:
"What make of cameras?"
"What do the angels look like?"
He should have had a sketch artist to help her reconstruct their faces.
There was an 18 year old up the North last night I think who got knee capped - where was his angel? There was train crash on the continent during the week that caused the death of a passenger. So were the angels on holiday? A guy was robbed and burned to death in Kerry. No angels there either?
Some obese lady in the audience (an obvious plant) starts pleading for the mystic to ask for the angels to help her sick husband.
A show of hands in the audience showed that a significant minority believed her and the majority were afraid to put their hands up.
Reminds you of how things were in Nazi Germany eh? Don't make trouble and just pretend the Emperor has clothes.
After this lying BS artist finishes talking infantile twaddle she gets a big clap.
It makes you want to get sick in your hands doesn't it?

Just watched this on RTE player in the UK and have to say what an absolute embarrassment. The fact that the unbelievers who were there to 'add a little bit of balance' asked pretty much the same questions as the deluded idiots who were looking for information off a woman who just told them they were surrounded by cameraman/cameraperson angels just beggars belief. Was there not one articulate person in that audience to take her to task? As for Tubridy - I have seen him absolutely grill guests like Richard Dawkins - why did she get the red carpet and kid gloves? She is clearly either psychotic or very very dim. I don't want to be nasty but she did mention the word 'retarded' when talking about her childhood. Letting that hokum pass without one decent challenging question from either the host or the audience makes Irish people look like a slow witted dumb bunch of imbeciles who will swallow any old superstitious crap once it's wrapped in some wishy washy cod 'spiritual' rhetoric. To think that is available around the world - CRINGE.

No doubt true but don't forget that you are talking about people who would voluntarily spend their friday night going to the Late Late Show. Hopes are not high.

Tubrity confidently grills Dawkins on one show and treats a fuckwit charlatan with kid gloves on another.

Stay classy you watery little overpaid weasel.

Next week Ryan will be interviewing the mortgage debt relief nurse so she can show us how to pray to holy god to get let off on our mortgages. Ryan will be given us his considered opinion on how the free will argument applies to starving abused African kids but not the mortgages of Irish nurses.

Just watched this now, very hard to not get very angry......angels unemployed, angels with administrative skills (holding papers)...lunacy
if people believe this stuff they deserve their money being taken from them. This is the worst expenditure of taxpayers money since the bank guarantee.

Do the Late Late have to interview at least one crazy angel lady per year or something?
I remember Pat Kenny interviewing one a few years ago. He looked bemused throughout and too polite or embarrassed to call her out.

Confidently grilled? Tubridy has no such ability. Tubridy let his personal distaste for Dawkins shine through, asked him a bunch of inane questions over and over again because he didn't like/didn't believe the answers. Eventually had to ask Dawkins about what he was there to talk about, his book on evolution, after Dawkins reminded him of that about 8 times. And was left in stunned disbelief when the monk he had in the audience to discredit Dawkins responded with answers along the lines of, of course I believe in evolution it's scientifically proven.

Tubs just clearly has some sort of religious faith and is personally affronted by atheism. But he didn't interview Dawkins well and it's no surprise he didn't interview this woman well either as he has never in the history of ever interviewed anyone well. He's Alan Partridge come to life.

He does a terrible job of the interview but he's entirely comfortable in himself.
