Drivetime with Mary Wilson

road_high

Listened back to it....
Wilson of course holding the pious party line of the holy trinity of still on full pay (government, Nphet and RTE). She really is an atrocious interviewer. Can never leave her PC views to one side

Once She quoted the Guardian that was it...was like a red rag to a bull lol

Oddly I only heard Mary putting facts to O Leary and all he could do was shout fake news and talk over Mary.

His argument is that NPHET got it wrong on masks so that makes him right on everything. ...like that's going to wash with the sensible majority.

Considering that the UK Govt advisory is to take it that you will have to quarantine when you return from travelling I think O Leary has bigger issues elsewhere - apparently his business staff can't quarantine and work from home......

Is there any way this programme could be just a little more objective on their reporting from the US then perhaps we might make up our own minds. The constant anti Trump (I know, I know) reporting is just tiresome and may even be counterproductive at this stage

Heard a snatch y'day where she i/viewed a Trump supporter . You could almost hear her hyperventilating as he made some points in favour of Trump. Every syllable he uttered was sacrilege to her PC Democrat ears. At one stage he chastised her -rightly-and said she should drop the 'facetiousness'!

Heard that.. then she came back with she wasn't being facetious which she clearly was and sneeringly so which might be ok at the dinner table but not on the national broadcaster

Never heard of her.

Former participant of love Island or similar programme I believe

Can't wait to wave goodbye to the Great Interruptor.

The downside is, we're losing the adept Brian Dobson in favour of her, on Morning Ireland.

What an awful phrase "wet pubs" is and they keep using it. All it brings to mind is alco's, drunk tanks and swollen livers. Iv no doubt its use on drivetime and the like is deliberate

Yeah

Big pot-bellied tankers up at the bar,opening their throats and gulling back pints like Panda emptying brown bins.

Fcukers would swallow a 330ml. bottle and all.

Big ‘Dublin Fire Brigade’ heads on them.

Del.... that’s why these handpumps just can’t get the food thing.

It keeps them anchored to a spot and highlights the fact that they can’t eat and swallow dhrink AT THE SAME TIME.

Sophisticated folk like those in most other countries can see that.

Pat wants to wave a pint in one hand and go thru a stale pizza like a fcuking road grader with the other while corking out meaty chorizo farts from the rear end.

Like it or not... there’s the truth.

Not the archetypical type.

Think Anthony Daly lookalike or 90% of bouncers who used to work the doors back in the day.

Big shaved head and a neck like the funnel of an ocean liner.

I haven't listened to the Rev. Mother (MW) for about a year or so, but that Ebun Joseph should wind her fekkin neck in now. We are all in this together or we are not. Next we'll have Pavee Point and the Roma giving out. Jaysus.

Sick of it. Will never go back to RTE, and now we have the simpering CB on in the mornings. Thank God for Pat Kenny, and whilst he is not perfect he is a professional.

LBC is good now too. Yer man James O'Brien is hit and miss and does monologues a lot, but he gets the audience going when the lights are on. That's how you do talk radio. Same with Sheelagh Fogarty in the pm too. Anything but Joe Duffy.

Sorry for the rant. But as a radio lover I know what I like now and move the dial.

I listened to the Ebun Joseph interview and, as usual, it was all a bit meandering and incoherent. It's not that her area of research (Black studies) isn't valid, but I reckon she's doing more damage to its credibility (and UCD) than anything else...she just doesn't know her stuff imo.

The Adele cultural appropriation/Notting Hill Carnival thing has no Irish angle, so why not interview an academic from one of the numerous universities in the UK with well established departments and research in African studies and Black history (a couple of the unis have Notting Hill on their doorstep).

It's like there some contractual obligation that RTE have to only speak to her on matters of race...and nobody else.

Bet she couldn't do a Covid Test just the same despite her Doctor status. Sure I have one of them myself, but if I dared call myself Dr. Spanish, my whole family would crease themselves laughing. It is just research and whilst interesting and enjoyable it's twenty years ago now.

Great to revert to being an idiot again since no one gives a sht.

I am grounded, and I love my mad family too.

Worryingly, I think this was posted in all seriousness.

To anyone who disagreed with Ebun Joseph, just bear in mind that she was arguing that no cultural appropriation occurred. She was the voice of reason.

The above post, with its bizarre reference to Covid testing, doesn't merit a response. I would suggest that people actually listen to the interview.

But still incoherent imo. I agree with her that it was more a case of cultural appreciation, but if she is so knowledgeable in her field (as RTE seem to think), I'd expect to hear a clearly presented argument. She was just throwing around random ideas to 'support' her argument...nothing research/evidence based. She just peppers her ideas with her 'go to' academic buzz words and it usually just results in a bit of an embarrassing (for UCD I presume) mess.

She's a very dangerous individual. Giving her any sort of influence will only end badly.

A very dangerous woman. She sees everything through the prism of race.

Won’t happen, effendi, Where does she operate out of....... UCD.

Where is UCD....... just up the road from Montrose.

Where does Ferreter operate out of......UCD

How long and often does he appear in Montrose

Very long and very often....more than most of ‘lifers’’

So.......:cool:....... better get used to Ebun....wouldn’t you think.

Jesus.




What sort of clown is MW interviewing now.

He's hard to listen too and talking in riddles and going round in circles.

I gave up Mary Wilson a long time ago, she's ploughed a very arid furrow since the breakup of the Supremes.
