Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

I’m in faraway parts at the moment. I was sent a video of a Dublin horse and cart person whipping tourists who tried to avoid paying. Not that I condone fare-dodging, but surely his retribution was excessive and should lead to a criminal charge for assault? I was on the receiving end of a whip to the legs (accidentally) as a teenager. The pain was excruciating, the mark stayed for over a year.

Has Joe or Katie covered this topic?

Caller, whipped tourists don't know that Joe even exists

Call now

Was it a self published book?

It is something of a niche topic.

Funny Friday's come early.

Ah I remember it well back in the days when programmes like liveline were an opportunity for the ordinary citizens to vent, a kind of pressure release valve for the nation where topics of the day were discussed by the educated and uneducated alike, which was a good thing and a necessary thing.. That time is long gone alas, it's all about the overriding message these days with the constant infantilisation of the populace continously warned to stay in line

Not a chance todays Liveline would cover it, someone being cancelled would be prime fodder for a call in show, but they’d have to address the issues raised which is forbidden.

🤢 🤮 I can't stand her. But they look a little like each other. They could pass for brother and sister.
