A very dangerous individual to have on the air waves

Covid is far more dangerous, kenny is just talking, covid means business

A full hour of Covid items since he came on an 9am. If the Covid doesn't get him, the stress will

Ya, he was getting a bit over the top with his suggestions to have a curfew and why wouldn't it work?

Shout out to the lady that Henry McKean interviewed who thought the idea of pubs being open is a disgrace, while she sat drinking wine at a pub.. :pac:

I think Pat is just trying to expose the ridiculous nature of the proposals that are being made to contain the virus.

Yes and instead he wants a total crackdown with fines imposed on the spot

Oh here we go again, dragging David Quinn from Iona out again. Is there no other holy joe out there that they can get to represent the few that go to mass on a regular basis.

Kim Jong Un... Stasi...Jaysus talk about an OTT response...Kenny couldn't match that.
Maybe the reality isn't getting through..Dublin going back into partial lockdown..who knows what's coming down the line elsewhere..
And judging by the lazy entitled behaviour of assorted ****wits which I see daily it's no wonder ...I don't believe we needed to be back here ..but this selfish behaviour is rarely called out .so off we go again

Agree with this too. More stick and less carrot needed.

I fear a good portion of the populace will have to be nursed through this crisis, they have been infantilised so much in the preceeding decades into an almost childlike innocence and naivety not much sense of a common good its all me me me

Speaking of which, does Henry insist of finding the biggest gob****es for his voxpop pieces. I know the whole purpose is probably to get a reaction from the audience, but the participants need to be in some way representative of the listenership too.

He's a tabloid version of Paddy O'Gorman.

Seth Tillman on

His voice goes up to dolphin pitch levels when he’s arguing back

Honestly think PK has Seth on for comedy value

Just looked up a picture of him there, not your typical Trump supporter anyway, that's for sure.

He'd raise a few eyebrows walking into a Trump convention !

MM on with PK now. I wonder will hard questions be asked?

Not a bad suggestion from MM to use "influencers" to get the message across to teenagers. Much though I hate the very concept of "influencers", would it work?

Why wouldn't they pay them if they needed them to do a job? They surely pay advertising agencies at the moment for all of the Covid announcements/etc...

To have Robert Fisk on downplaying the significance of the Israeli deal with Bahrain and the UAE was terrible. Why could he not at least have a bit of balance. Robert Fisk isn't taken seriously anymore because of his pro Arab bias..yet in Ireland his word is law ..

Tell me how

Lol.

He's one of the most respected commentators of the ME in our generation.

It says a lot about society especially young people nowadays ,when young people will pay no heed to experts in their fields and you have to revert to asking these enfluencers with only a few brain cells. Who up to now ,have been making a fortune off the young peoples nativity. To ask their fans to abide by rules ...

I think the issue is that it's not so much that young people are not paying heed to experts, it's that they're not even encountering them. They don't watch the news, they don't watch TV. So it makes sense to target them in a different manner to the middle aged population.

Robert Fisk was one of the most respected commentators who definitely isn't anymore. No major station has him on..even RTE . He's so far left Che Guevara would wear a t shirt with his head on it.

He's lost a lot of credibility over the years such is his blind hatred of Israel,
Having Fisk and Alistair Campbell on so often undermines Pat's credibility. It's a real blind spot. They're borderline deranged.

However his coverage of the war in Syria really finished him as a trusted commentator. Not in Ireland though.

In 2006 in a front-page story, Fisk reported that Israel used depleted uranium shells in Lebanon. UN and Lebanese scientists found that there was no evidence to support the claim.

Five years later, in 2011, The Independent issued a correction to a Fisk story that referenced an order allegedly issued by Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz al-Saud, the Saudi minister of the interior, instructing security forces to show no mercy and to use live rounds on unarmed demonstrators. The Independent admitted the “order” was a forgery.

If Fisk is going to do a “Daraya” on Douma then he should consider a seat in the war crimes tribunal alongside #Assad and #Putin when the time comes. And it will.
