    RTE obviously go to some lengths to recruit the panel for the Marian Finucane show. They are always consistent in their views, being totally in support of any and all left wing views. The entire show so far this morning has been one unending lecture, on immigration and fundamentalist muslims, and our many failings as a nation to acccomodate them and to understand their world views . I thought i was listening to RTE , the national broadcaster, allegedly reflective of a broad spectrum of national opinions, however, apparently, i was listening to Migrant FM

    The question is do they really believe the bulls*** they speak or are they just saying what is expected of them. Thay can't all be that unreflective or stupid.

    No, that crew yesterday morning 100% believed the muck they were spouting. Especially the young lady with the real posh accent

    Good interview apart from that surreal interlude.
    Mind you I think Atwood is fairly naive if she thinks UK has ended fracking ... only suspended & probably until Dec 13th if the Tory's return. :rolleyes:

    Gay was fortunate he got out before the internet got going ... worst he had to contend with was the anonymous letter & the occasional Sunday sermon ;)

    According to some Maid Marion , was made by Eoghan Harris , apparently a big mate of Gaybo .

    Surely she must do her Adoration .

    Opportunity now to decentralise the whole of RTE to Limerick ... location, as with most jobs nowadays, is irrelevant.
    And those that get a nosebleed when they pass Red Cow could be told to think of the "quality of life", the clean air, the reduced commuting time & the opportunity to get in touch with the rest of Ireland beyond the Pale.
