It was tongue in cheek. George calls himself the no holds bars bla bla bla. And as you said in your post he is, I agree, normally very contrarian. However, when Kevin was on, George was not playing the role of a professional interviewer/journalist, instead he gave Kevin free reign for 20 minutes, egging him on ( Bringing in the Muslim refugee issue which has zero to do with EU migration)Conservative wrote: »thedudeinthehat wrote: »

I like him and often agree but he is the definition of troll.
Except when someone is on spouting thinly veiled racism. George egged him on- zero counter agrument/balance or challenging of Myers- it just was about providing Myers with a soap box to vent his usual mad ramblings. Myers has being on this pony for years- the danger now in an era of Trump/Brexit and recent white nationalist murders and hate crimes in the states is that his musings seem in vogue/acceptable. I suppose the growth of this weird political correctness where we cant call a Nazi a Nazi, a racist a racist, but must pander to white angry keyboard warrior identity politics and say "yes dear its ok ok, we don't want to trigger your sensitive nature"
Control of borders- hypocracy for an Irish person to string those words together given how we relied on border crossing throughout Ireland's history. It will be a sad day for Ireland if these racist lunatics ever find a voice/political following.
Hello dilinahat. If you weren't so quick to be outraged by everything that has ever happened you would see that I posted that before he talked to Kevin Myers.
I didn't hear it so have nothing to contribute
So really I am just calling out George on his own contrarian hypocrisy - and using your post to highlight this double standard of his
Nothing to see here- move on - relax- all is sweet and love in the world 0 -

That i feel is actually more down to Georges lazy style of interviewing, there are allot of folk he lets off the hook depending on how he feels about them personally.
Its one of the main reasons i stopped following him on the right hook as no real counterpoint at times.0 -
Yes exactly- I don't want to do George's job for him, but he could have asked him some even rough questions such asthedudeinthehat wrote: »It was tongue in cheek.

We know there are higher levels of employment and economic value/paying taxes/less levels of crime amongst economic migrants than the local populations. How can we learn more from these good folks?
Given the rise in hate crimes in the UK and US over the last while- are you nervous abot stoking up anti-immigrant sentiment in a country where we have always had a positive experience.
And our embarrassing contribution to the refugee crisis ( 80 people settled) - in light of our historical record of needing help from the world.0 -
