Well, how bad was she?

And by bad I mean racist to indigenous whites.....

She is a divisive race baiting cunt, an utter absolute CUNT

The shame here is RTE, the Irish Times and other main stream media institutions fawn over the likes of her and never ever critisize ANY of her points - it's like they think that any criticism would be "racist" so they are terrified and just meekly agree.

Pretty much the nail on the head here, she comes across like that in all her appearances. One only has to read her history of tweets; divisive, finger-pointing, us against them. A very dangerous attitude that could drive people apart and cause resentment. And seemingly no-one is allowed to question her publicly.

The lack of challenge of any kind from D'Arcy just demonstrates his lack of courage. Ray's priority with guests like this is not to end up on the wrong side of twitter, not to ask serious questions. So when Ray is told that we have been racist in history, Ray says "oh right, yeah" as opposed to maybe something like "the Irish didn't have time to be oppressive to other nations or races as we were under the boot of the English for most of the period of time you were talking about".

There is a concerted effort in the media for the last few weeks to paint all Irish as racists, and Ebun Joseph fits perfectly with this narrative.

She’s possibly the biggest racist I’ve ever heard in this country tbh.

23-06-2020 8:27am

Has anyone in the media had the courage to face up to Ebun Joseph? Or are they too much in awe of her “knowledge” with that PhD to bash people down with.

How she got that degree awarded, I wonder. 4 years of “research” which only proved “how racist and enslaving of Black people all white people are” apparently in the absence of all other types of racism and enslavement. As an alleged academic she never seems to quote comparative statistics or reasoning, just biased sounding statements. It would be a bit like a GP saying “don’t eat anything, all food makes you fat”.

I did notice Ray vaguely attempted to curb her, not at all effectively as she just talked loudly over him. I’d say UCD must be cringing slightly about her all the same, at least some of the top academics there must be as she really lets the institution down badly. There must have been some discussion as to whether they would award her that “end degree”, and I’d say things had got just too far when they let her proceed with it and they were afraid of a very public legal challenge she would mount. She certainly has never attempted to pose a rational argument for her cause and has relied on very in academic emotional rhetoric.

Niall Boylan did and it was great, but the video seems to be removed - even the bitchute one ...

Ironically she would have achieved everything she has here based solely on identity politics.

UCD are probably just as terrified of her as politicians/the media, any "wrong" move by them and it's they are sued for racism

That's right, he took her on fairly and fearlessly. And ultimately he's been silenced too.

Yep, the likes of RTE and Irish Times with a straight face would call him a far right racist

Let them defend themselves legally against her, surely a court would be able to distinguish her assertions from the truth and reality. I am quite sure there is a much more able and less aggressive individual to take her place and discuss everything in a balanced and rational way.

They would not award a doctor an advanced medical qualification on the basis they printed eg Versatis, over every other remedy. It’s sheer madness.

ButtersSuki · 23-06-2020 10:14am

I know from a colleague the bauld "Doctor" has been dicussed openly and behind closed doors in UCD re. the reputational damage she's allegedly (of course) causing and the attention she's garnering with her rantings. The difficulty they have is in this uber-woke environment we now find ourselves is that by tacling her now they know how it will be spun in de meeja.

Don't forget you had a Senior Minister in the last Government openly calling for gender quotas and more diversity amongst academics in Universities, and throw in the colour and immigrant elements here and you have a PR cluster**** omnishambles.

The problem is this (as in her racist rantings - and they are racist) wasn't nipped in the bud when she first started making a name for herself - which is what I believe a lot of this is about. She must have an ego like Mr. Duffy's.

I saw that and he was perfectly fair and reasoned in his questioning, only to be shouted down by De Ribena Racist.

23-06-2020 11:18am

I would say any café, library, any place of public custom must cry when they see her coming. She’d have all management on speed dial and would set up a “racist” scenario if there wasn’t one ready made for her. To me she is an individual with a personality disorder That has got herself a public platform. I recall an equally loathsome white suprematist from SA whom I encountered in my work who was mad as a hatter, and once got himself a nomination from one of the two formerly big political parties, but failed to get elected as a councillor or TD, many years ago. Used to come in to where I worked and loudly voice his hatred for people of stab ethnicity. They actually used to laugh h

thecretinhop · 23-06-2020 12:07pm

the world has literally inverted.
The racist and nazis are literally most on the radical left. horrible people like yesterday have free reign. moderate normal people are jeered, attacked mentally and worse. You speak out you could lose your job, other clowns pile in mb looking for where you live.
Its mob rule, hijacking events to destroy and divide.
ballless ray whips himself into apology frenzy. won't work u are white ray, have a family, dat is enough for u to get de chop.
to quote ur a useful idiot until they get a transgender it to replace u.

It was 20 years ago today that Today Fm announced that Ray Darcy was to take over the midmorning show from the first Monday of September. His show defiend Celtic tiger culture outside the pale.

Ray doing a zoom call on the radio....

Could you just not phone him?

BPKS · 23-06-2020 3:32pm

Ray just asked the Irish Zoom man if he experienced any problems growing up as a Jew in Dublin.

When the caller responded that he didn't and that he found Dublin and Ireland a very tolerant place growing up, you could sense Rays disappointment.

23-06-2020 3:34pm

RTE don't pay for Zoom.

The TV licence is money well spent.

Cant afford a subscription for Zoom but can pay D'Arcy, Duffy and Tubs €1.4m a year:eek:

BPKS · 23-06-2020 3:44pm

So Zoom are being very generous in their support of RTEs comic thingy on Friday even though RTE don't pay Zoom for using their services.

She'll ask for a coffee. The staff will say "Black or white?". She'll then cry racism and the coffee shop will be shut.

The End.

Fcukin Italia 90.. AGAIN

It's been done to death.

Ray: Well done to everyone in Thurles.

Caller: Templemore, Ray, Templemore. Home of the guards.

Ray: Ya Ya Ya Ya

Worth every penny.

Ahh bollocks, he'll be insufferable so, 90 mins of details of his 3 days off to walk around making porridge, bread and to take photos of local birds.

sligojoek · 29-06-2020 3:55pm

I think he said he was off for the week.

bmorrissey · 29-06-2020 3:56pm

Fair enough, he has earned the week off.....

He was off today, Catherine Thomas sitting in.

Lithium93_ · 29-06-2020 5:07pm

Well apparently the Niall Horan thing didn't go down well with a certain (YANK) section of Horan's fan base. For once I'll say Ray was smart, did the Comic Relief, and has now taken the week off.

Although anyone could've seen the skit with Niall for what it was, A SKIT.

Drifter50 · 29-06-2020 9:51pm

Maybe there is more to this than is apparent now. So Darcy goes into hiding as a large section of Niall Horan fans expressed outrage. Independent.ie are running an article that he has been taken off the air to let it die down.

I shall await developments.......

Lithium93_ · 29-06-2020 9:57pm

I've seen it mentioned, that Niall himself was in on it along with Ray.

So I don't see what all the outrage is/was all about.

sligojoek · 29-06-2020 10:49pm

what's the story with Niall Horan?

Ray said last Friday, before handing over to Drivetime, that he's be off this week.

elperello · 29-06-2020 10:51pm

Poor Niall Horan, it's a travesty.

Roasted by a turkey

There was a skit on RTÉ does Comic Relief on Friday evening, involving Niall performing, only to be cut off and "insulted" by Dustin. It hasn't gone down well at all with Niall's American following, who thought he was rudely interrupted and disrespected.

Thanks for that.
If those Americans had watched the Den back in the day or knew anything about Dustin's form, they'd probably have "got it" or maybe not.

Podge and Rodge did a similar thing to Donna and Joseph Mccaul. Cut to an ad break half way through their first verse.

generalgerry · 30-06-2020 7:34am

I think RTE have been good enough to Niall Horan with all the time they have given him to promote his solo stuff, when really there are far more deserving singer song writers in the country. It's Comic Relief anyway, so the "famous people" are meant to suck it up while they are ridiculed for money. They are not there to give us the hard sell on their wares (i.e. like what they would usually do on an RTE appearance)

tampopo · 01-07-2020 4:05pm

Was there sports after 4?

03-07-2020 1:33pm

I heard a bit of the show yesterday and, as you know, Ray is off this week (hopefully on a which-button-does-what? training course) and Kathryn Thomas is in loco parentis.

To be fair to her, and maybe it’s more about me being a bit more relaxed after four months of enforced peace and quiet, she seemed much less shouty, and more human; chatting to people re-opening their businesses who she seemed to know (through Operation Transformation, I think) letting them tell their story, encouraging and agreeing with them, wishing them well and all of that good stuff.

She even managed to get to the news on time at 4pm, despite the best efforts of a guy who was weaving his entire life history into what should have been a one minute story. And she did it politely. Fingers crossed for the future.
