    Very surprised to hear Rory O'Neill on another live RTE show after the payout they had to make the last time.


    A little ironic with all the talk about Joan Freeman yesterday.

    The 2016 Census for the Republic gives the population as 4.7 million but BOC seemingly can only find the same half dozen from the 'golden triangle' to interview. I'm sick of the like of Panti Bliss being wheeled out every ****ing week. Who cares what he thinks? Am I allowed to say that? :rolleyes:

    He's pathologically incapable of allowing Kingston Mills to complete a point without interrupting him.

    He has no import outside lazy, lazy media, his dive bars and college going twitterers and their now middle aged 'mommies' and 'pappies', to use his vernacular.

    You'd swear the panti one was the first ever to talk about the despair that some have the past year.
    It is amazing to hear this show post-panel make out he's some oracle or seer when the ordinary sham in the street who is never asked their opinion by RTE has been saying this from the very start.

    Its actually like a new RTE today. The barrage of stay at home, stay apart to come together, we're all in it together seems to be ceased. Is this due to the protest march yesterday?

    Let me tell readers here, the vast majority of LGB people would not refer to themselves as 'queer people'
    That's a political slant, derived from batshít crazy critical queer theory and mouth-breathed by people like yer man that are the only ones who get on RTE etc and are seen by officialdom as reps for every lesbian, gay or bisexual person.
    They are not.

    Well, to be fair, he’s never going to read out texts referring to “that tranny” or from the anti-RTÉ/Late Late crowd banging on about “adrenochrome” and the like.

    Would you really expect them to read it out?

    What sort of comparison is that,

    What is the point of people texting into a show if you cant be critical of the person or what the are saying, you seem to think that only positive texts should be read out.

    I have noticed this a lot lately on Radio and TV, female guests all seem to do this, Ivana Bacik, who is normal quite vocal did it a while back on TWIP.

    He sounded on edge for her interview, afraid she'd say something controversial.

    It reminded me the way his tv show went. Started off very good but it got to the stage where he'd stop his guests saying anything that could potentially be considered controversial, and as a result it went to pot.

    Today he ended up by saying "well that is only your opinion " to her. Yes we know it's her opinion Brendan, we just heard her say it, stop covering your and rtes ass.

    I was pretty astounded by how blasé he was also

    And then to top it off the token ex guard (full of useless platitudes) said something like “don’t worry it was 7 years ago things have improved since then”

    BOC attitude is typical of the golden circle - slap on wrist and a quiet “don’t do it again” but sneaking regard for them at same time.

    The golden rule in Ireland seems to be “don’t get caught”
