ah come on, you are proving his point to an extent by being so dismissive

his ideas are a bit out there but feck it, i'd take anything to change the status quo at the moment

also i love the idea of seeing a load of mercs and bmws parked outside the dole office as guys in expensive suits wander in to be interrogated

And how does he resolve the issues brought about by his ideas?

We're still waiting for him to answer.

Full of idealistic BS, imo.

Should stick to the day job.

Nope. Nor the week after that, or the week after that, or the week after that, or the wee...

Definitely not if he's the best they can come up with

Someone with his logic wouldn't pass Philosophy 101.

That's what I meant. :pac:

I even googled to double check before I posted.

It's been a long day.

People that already pay more than enough tax should be asked to give more so the government can p1ss it away in outdated allowances for civil servants.
Remind me how much of the 75m promised savings they achieved again? Yes a measly 3m odd!

Kieran Allen has probably done his best tonight to turn people off socialism for life

He'll be able to retire soon, so.

This is par for the course anytime I've seen him on this show, in fairness.

take everything

Allen is insane.
Why can't they have someone serious from the left on.

i agree that our system of governance is so structurally screwed-up that that should be the first priority but it will never happen because turkeys don't vote for christmas - hence the huge levels of apathy

I've emboldened the first problem with your question. :pac:

This newspaper guy looks like he's just come back from Copper Face Jacks.

I see John Waters has a piece about the Children's Rights Bill undermining famalies.

Yeah, he looks great, I'd love him to do the review of the papers every night :D

He spent so long right into the ending though nearly getting himself cut off.

I was wondering when old reliable would be out of the trap .... closely followed no doubt by Máire BeanUi whatever & the usual suspects from Iona.

I'd prefer Derek Davis to do the newspaper review every night. He's got far more gravitas.

Ah Harry, Derek has had his day, I think we need to see some new faces on our TV sets.

You're being very ageist MrsD. No wonder we don't see Derek Davis or Thelma Mansfield on our TV screens anymore with attitudes like that.

There are a lot of serious people from the left on but none you can take seriously.

Ah here, you need to get your facts straight Mr. Angstrom. Firstly, I was a huge fan of Thelma and Derek's on Live at Three. My mother used to have it on when we came home from primary school :D

Thelma Mansfield left the world of TV to pursue a career in art. She is quite a successful artist so she is no longer interested in TV.

As for Derek Davis, I like him alot but he is the kind of guy who would like to present a show. I can't see him being content doing newspaper reviews every evening.

I'd say more sexy-ist than ageist.

Thelma was on the George Hook Show a few months back and she said she was the last person to find out that Live At Three had been cancelled. No wonder she turned her back on TV.
Derek Davis has been a guest on the Sean Moncrieff Show a few times and he's been a perfectly capable media reviewer..........

I actually saw Thelma on Dermot O'Neill's gardening programme recently, she seems to be very happy with her move into the art world. Every cloud has a silver lining as they say, it looks like RTE did her a favour.

I remember Derek Davis used to sit in for Joe Duffy on Livelive once upon a time. I thought he did a great job, maybe some rival radio station should snap him up for phone in show. God knows we all could do with a break from Mr. Duffy.

he does indeed add a lot of weight to events, gravitas though I'm not so sure
