The Meaning Of Life - RTE1

Roots 2020

Mary Lou is very good so far. Regardless of how you feel about her politics, she's articulate and intelligent.

2 weeks ago we had a clown with a plastic bag on his head grandstanding trying to appear deep and meaningful. When in actual fact there is very little beneath the surface only trying sell his brand.

What a vile creature. An utter self serving flake. Capable of anything.

I don't like Joe, but that's a bit over the top.

Joe, your concern for children would seem more sincere if you didn't write books about their suffering to line your pockets.

take everything

God I can't stand Joe Duffy.

He's so insincere.

Not a single mention of the context or those who were planning to take out a primary school to try and provoke an all out civil war. Another who lives in a fantasy world where there was only one side engaged in 'de vilelence'.

Did she mention to Joe we learned this week that British intelligence were proposing through a proxy to attack a primary school so as to ignite civil war

Wanna buy a poppy after Unquiet Graves? Take a trip around loyalist areas of Belfast?

Get real Truth. Utter selective nonsense again.

Don't see any loyalists here so no-one to deal with. In any event the poppy is nothing to do with Unquiet Graves subject matter - save in the minds of Sinn Fein IRA supporters who hate any thing English or Protestant .

Sinn Fein takeover, the North takeover, on the thread.

Why am I not surprised.

The program was called The Meaning of Life.

I found Mary Lou Mcdonald to be quite wooden, a political interview.

Maybe time they reviewed the type of guests they have on and stay away from politicians who can't be anything but political.

More lies and rubbish.

My partner and children are protestant. Try living in the real world for a change Truth, not some Daily Mail one of invention and stereotype.

So who is here justifying or glorifying the Glenanne gang - or even praising their sad residue for "embracing the peace process" or "turning away from violence" or any of that claptrap routinely wheeled out in favour of "Gerry the Peacemaker"

And to be fair there was nothing in it for the Glennane thugs. Don't remember them being invited to the White House or getting full time jobs for life as "community activists" or taking over the streets to have a laughable budget paramilitary funeral for their dead murderers .

Indee, maybe they are the true sainted peacemakers who turned away from violence while being forced to give up their stupid marches, biased political system and police force and accept interference in their soveriegn affairs from Dublin.

Who said anyone was.

Duffy managed to turn the programme into a political discussion which he wanted to conduct as if the there was no context for what happened on this island but the emergence of the IRA and SF.

The same utter rubbish you and other partitionists engage in.

Now I am going to leave this discussion to those who wish to talk about good television, which this show wasn't because of the host's by now legendary bias and brutal attempts at ambushing a guest, who managed IMO to stay rational and calm and make him look like he was going to burst a bloodvessel.

Still numbly promoting the Sinn Fein delusional agenda. Mary Lou came accross as the slithery self serving morally compromised parasite she is.

No support for the Glennane murderers for a Nobel Peace Prize then? Just Saint Gerry then I suppose.

Take away from the programme was:

Mary Lou: I'm a Catholic, I go to mass
Murder is justifiable.

Of course it is how could you join Sinn Fein and not be comfortable with the odd murder - or indeed a 30 year campaign of murder

Sweet jaysus, is he ever off RTE?

Nathan Carter is clinically depressed i'm sure. He sounds very flat, defeated. Hope he gets sorted.

No gigs for 2020, must be broke and bored, does he get covid pandemic payment?

JP Liz V1

Tony Holohan a guest with Joe Duffy, the family of Vicky Phelan got their solicitor to stop him talking about her but I am sure Cervical Check and Covid were mentioned

Tony has a book to promote (and a new romance)

Can we expect him next on DWTS

Did he get his big job after leaving the previous job with a pension?
