Thanks. She is obviously one then. Seeing as she had to take the baby on tv3 show and feed it on live TV. Couldn't express milk and give it to her partner to feed said baby. Don't know how my kids survived. Waiting with a soother in their little mouths while I made up their bottles. Often had to wait at least 20 minutes. Oh what a bad mother I was.

She wouldn't approve of soothers she would consider them as a tool of oppression silencing people with no voice

How many listen to this show? With all the chopping and changing in schedules you imagine it is lucky to survive. Maybe dennis o'brien and his legal runners are scared of what happens if they chop it. So it's left there. In perpetuity.

TBH I reckon it's more of a case of "Meh, it ticks a box for minority special interest programming and is (probably) a very cheap show to produce." more than anything else. Show fills a slot on a Saturday evening and targets an audience that, to my knowledge, no other station targets. Win win win for DOB and NT really.

Just turned on newstalk to hear dill. Within 3 minutes she had said "me " 3 times. So have turned it off. I have never heard anyone speaking so fast on my life. So can only assume she is speaking through a different orifice than I would use myself. In my opinion

Just heard the advert on newstalk. I'm triggered.

I hear that her two listeners are organising a petition.

She was questioning vaccines on her twitter account a couple of weeks back

Was she? No doubt that fact will be buried and never discussed.

Dils show is dreadful, even if you share a lot of her views its hard to listen to.

I get the idea that it would have been difficult for Newstalk to get rid of her without attracting bad publicity.

Hopefully they will accept and respect her decision not to do her show, and use the opportunity to get rid of her altogether.

She says she has major problems with Newstalk so presumably best thing now would be for them to part ways. They should respectfully note her ideas and views going forward.

Tried listening to her show the odd time, it was tough.

Poor presenter and she would be no loss to the station.

*in no way are my views based on her gender or race, I just think she's hard to listen to.

Actually what are her JNLR Results like

Claude Burgundy

I honeslty think 2 hrs of dead air might attract more listeners

So not a full resignation then, just a stunt to publicise a bit of virtue signalling.

Claude Burgundy

Ah Jaysus, Hook has been suspended so looks like the "liberal agenda" will continue !

Give Dil Georges slot.

Its only fair.

yes and Dil is all about fairness. I remember Hook being on the programme a god while back and she all but climbed up inside him.

I think newstalk might want to keep listers to a prime time slot in the schedule

Its a sad, sad state of affairs when you felt you had the put in the bit in bold.

And it actually says an awful lot about the current Hook debate.

If you are correct (and let me be clear I make no aspersions on your characters by stating that - can't be too careful these days) then I'm amazed she hasn't been taken to task about it by the 'media' who took George to task about the same topic.

*Just checked her Twitter feed and she does question if the antivax movement has some truth in it.......

*To be clear I have no problem with her raising a legitimate concern of parents, but its quite clearly double standards they didn't go after her

it's about her sexuality though, isn't it?!!!!!

Ursus Horribilis

Is there some sort of stink we could kick up on social media to get her taken off the program permanently? Seeing as that appears to be the way to get results these days.

Sounds like Ciaran Cuddihy?
