PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

Very poor show tonight I thought.

Disappointed , as I had expected better than this.

Houghtons goal changed everything

Death and disease is part of the human condition and shouldn't be hidden away, but of course you don't have to wallow in the misery. The interview was overwhelmingly positive with Delaney coming across as a really decent person rather than a vaceous celebrity.

Is that your dog,no it's my wife😳

True but it’s an entertainment show and there is an actor and his acting was barely mentioned. It was dominated by his son’s passing which of cours is tragic and sad and obviously a major event for him but a lot more could have been discussed with him.

Yes, thats why even the left wingers know that the multinational workers can never go on strike because that is what is paying the public sector wages and the massive welfare bill. Maybe a better deal for workers relative to welfare might get more construction workers building houses. However the irish left wing is not focussed on workers but on welfare , there is a huge ideological shift between the left wing parties here and the labour movement in the UK

Exactly- there’s a well known actor/comedian who’s published a book on the loss of his son and offers a touching and heartfelt perspective about the coexistence of life and death, of sadness and joy- and then there’s a poor non-famous person dragged up from Leitrim to discuss their repeated rapes at the hands of the Catholic Church, for seemingly no reason, while looking ashen-faced and deeply traumatised throughout.

I'm surprised some people are surprised Mick Lynch supported and campaigned to leave the EU.

It is a socialist position - don't mistake the modern (Blairite dominated) UK Labour party as a socialist party!

I'll be having a look at his clip over the weekend.

Ireland has a very superficial understanding of the Eurosceptic currents in Britain. We’ve imbibed as fact the Fintan O’Toole pseudo-psychoanalytical thesis that it was motivated by nostalgia for empire.

Morgan Freeman's sensible thoughts on Black History Month and racism in general 👍️...

I believe PK was very genuine when he mentioned his dad.

i was water eyed myself when PK said it

Missed last night but no doubt Frampton wasn’t quizzed on his ties to Kinihan and MTK, while slating Barry about greed..
