    Statement from RTE

    https://twitter.com/WilliamsJon/status/1196423536262483968



    See this in low level form most days in one way or another and that's in Dublin so it does not surprise me in the slightest.


    The ironic thing about these mighty patriots is that it's more likely than not it is they that are sucking off the t*t of the state they claim to defend, probably unemployable and just nasty all round scumbags who i'm ashamed share this country with the rest of us.

    She works of course and contributes so I guess it's like a double trigger for the neanderthals.

    I'd hope the social media companies become more proactive with this venom on their platforms than they are. Poisonous.

    In before the incels saying she brought it on herself by being a journalist and it's just words on screen.

    And right on time, it’s a *shock horror* brand new account!

    The racism you’re trying so hard not to see is literally all there in the first post all you have to do is read it.

    Pissing on about Ray D'Arcy and trying to deflect is just silly.

    Lol at "contributing" in 2019, I speak as someone who does "contribute" but it is my goal to leech off the Northern Ireland state the first opportunity I can get. It won't be written on your gravestone how hard a worker you were and you won't get thanks for it, I get treated like dirt in every low level job I've done. I will suck on that norn iron teet the first chance i can get and do it with honour.

    It is also not true that leeches are low life racists, a lot of the long term unemployed I've associated with were usually autistic nerdy types. Look at it this way, some of the most racist men in history were slave owners and British army generals, they were high tier intelligent wealthy men.

    GTFO with that nonsense. They're not calling her a sh1te anything, they're literally firing the N-word at her and calling her a monkey/ape. It is, quite literally, the dictionary definition of racism.

    Oh I totally agree this is real nasty disgusting racism, which is all the more reason not to shout the word racist when someone says travellers should pay their taxes like everyone else.

    Why would you create a new account to spout this rubbish?

    I have an Irish friend from Algerian descent who worked for RTE for years, he's more dub than me, should he be given stick because of his colour and because he presented a show on RTE it's suddenly fair game?

    They aren't all scammers that don't work, he was an aircraft engineer before working at RTE :)

    Most right wingers claim to work and pay tax. One of their gripes about folk immigrating over is assuming minorities are only interested in welfare etc. Folk are complex, even racists.

    Thank you. You are the perfect example of the supposed champions of free speech warning us we might over use that word so we should stop using it, unless it's 'real' racism :rolleyes:

    When a pack of nasty individuals are formed at the first opportunity; a lot of these idiots than have the so called authority or the gall to spout such outrageous crap to make themselves look foolish. If these neanderthals were actually paying their way by contributing to this country. They wouldn't have the nerve to make such comments to other people faces when seeing them out on a public street. These racist scumbags are vile individuals. Recently; there was a scumbag from this country who got sentenced to 3 years in prison for being an online troll to some female journalists & writers. These racists who posted these comments are increasing that risk of letting that happen to themselves. They have no shame & deserve everything they get by getting a huge prison sentence.

    does she speak slow and deliberate so that people can understand her accent (like Conor McGregor) or is it just that she's used to speaking that way for children, like the way a teacher gets...?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,971 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    The only way to deal with any of this trollism of whatever hue is to IGNORE it.

    By publicising it and commenting on it etc. means the perpetrators get what they want.... Attention.

    More likely youtube will gut the channel now so I disagree

    I see the Irish patriots are there at the end of thread starting on her again. Irish patriot's have to be the most idiotic class of absolute w***er i've come across. They've escalated from the closing time freedom fighter nonsense to this nonsense.

    If you don't view someone as Irish because they are black what would you say to Paul McGrath if you ever met him.
