Ray is making a fool of himself.

percent, percent. percent, my arse

ThisRegard

He's worse than Duffy when confronted with a fact he doesn't like, "Yeah, well ".

snubbleste

She's not very dominating, is she?

how nice of Ray to take time out of his day to set this woman right...

Ray being a total p***k, he has such a superior attitude and obviously made his mind up about this woman before he started the interview.

Ray really challenging this woman!

Just reflecting how she's been interviewed I reckon.

Well it started not too long after leaving The Den, midlife I believe.

I thought he was pretty good, tbh. I mean, he wasn't impartial but I'd say he represents the views of most of the people listening. And when it came down to her producing evidence that prostitution is all right, like, she wasn't exactly convincing - for a woman with a law degree.

ThisRegard

Jesus, water reviews. Barrel scraping.

Dear Conor

That was an appalling interview. I laughed when he asked her about being degraded all concerned...he treated her badly from the off just because shes a sex worker.

Ah but its Ray Darcy. If he said completely the opposite people on this thread will knock him anyway!! I wouldn't listen to him generally but If i couldnt stand him I'd tune into other stations!! Irish people are gluttons for punishment!!

Ray had facts & challenged her supposed "statistics" which IMO she did not appreciate. It seemed to me that she came on expecting to lash out her "statistics" and did not expect to be called on them.

At the end of the day, if it's such a great "job" how come she wouldn't want her daughter in it? Her daughter has had a sheltered upbringing and she didn't see the irony in that!
Her comment about soldiers going to war was just downright pathetic & just went to prove how shallow her argument was.

Women shouldn't be allowed to form their own opinion. They need a man to tell them what to think.

What two consenting adults choose to do is up to them.

They used a pompous interviewer who hasn't a clue how to interview and remain impartial.

Apart from Ray, I thought it an interesting piece.

I listen Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 every lunchtime and he interviews people from all walks of life in a non judgmental way, this makes for great radio and he really gets people to open up sometimes. He is a brilliant host with empathy and can handle heavyweight or lighter material.
I never usually listen or watch anything on RTE but I happened to catch the Ray D'arcy interview with the sex worker while in the car and was flabbergasted at his lack of professionalism. His attitude to this guest was condescending and he didn't have the skill to conduct a non-judgemental interview as he could not hold back his personal feelings which were obviously negative to his guest. As a result she became defensive making for a poor interview.
It sounded like the puritanical attitudes of 20 years ago . I won't bother listening again.
