So I missed de show because I was at a meeting so to speak with De Department (yes, dat Department) across in De Big House on Kildare Street and there was a man outside with a sign saying he's on his 3rd day of hunger striking but I didn't see what he was strking about so to speak. Duz anybody know what did duz be about?

So I hop into me vehickle and turn on de rayjo to hear Mr . Duffy ask a caller "where are you from originally?" followed within I would estimate 3minutes by a well-spoken man who was giving out that his adopted Chinese daughter was always being asked "where are you from?" and how racist this with de host tutting and sighing away and expressing sounds of exasperation and depair dat de Irish could be so racist literally minutes after he said it himself without a hint of self-admonishment or acceptance that he is part of the problem but rather it's all de fault of de OTHER stupid unwoke ignormauses who say it. All this ignoring of course of course dat it's wan a his stock catchphrases and dat regular thread followers race each other to see who can predict how quickly he'll ask anyone who doesn't fit his own version of being Irish dat very question.

The man truly is a deluded fool.



Haven't read the thread. Any gold today?

No gold, caller, only ebony. Did ya not lean outta de Volvo and ask yer man what he was hunger striking about and maybe offer to bring his plight to de attention of de boyos inside?

Wat colour was de sofa/chair you sat inside de house so to speak?

Didn't hear it all, did he even find the Slavery - Slabhrait (chain) connection that a few seconds on the google machine would turn up?

I see in the Broadcasting Complaints Decisions features Liveline:

Broadcaster Response Summary
The broadcaster is of the view that Liveline is a light entertainment phone-in and chat show. The broadcaster states that, given that the programme aired the day before Christmas Eve, the programme team aimed to avoid the subject of death and disasters. The broadcaster states that the programme is aimed to stimulate chat and to reflect over the past year and, in this programme, the past decade.
The list of high and low points of the decade was compiled by the production team from previous lists, however, the team did not necessarily choose the event which was voted top high or top
15

low each year. The production team considered the decade in its entirety and deemed which should be included in the list in the context of the past decade. The broadcaster states that this is a reasonable approach as a point of reflection and strongly rejects the allegation that it changed or disrespected listener votes.
The broadcaster states that the list was not purported or intended to be an official list of highs and lows. Further, the broadcaster does not consider that the content could be considered as being unfair or misleading to the audience.

"the team did not necessarily choose the event which was voted top high or top 15 low each year." Would this be similar to how they "don't necessarily cherry pick the callers that they want on the show every day".

I am actually delighted that they avoided the Carrigaline issue this week, as it is demonstrates that there is a completely transparent agenda in RTE to avoid topics that reflect negatively on "the multicultural experience". RTE would like us to believe Ireland the experience is utopian, when this is clearly not the case. Somebody made the decision to skip this story and instead search for stories that portray the Irish as being racist.

The story should have been covered and RTE need to explain why it was not.

Well the first line is true as the team have no say in what is covered on the show. Only one person says what's covered on dis show so to speak as they say.

I think in PC land we need a new term for an obese/fat/overweight person, I propose the safe term 'person of weight'.

But everyone is a peron of weight caller - dja follow me (another one for the Bingo Card)? It would have to be something like "person of accentuated weight" or "person blessed with additional weight" to appease the fruitloops - who ironically don't eat enought fruit so to speak as they say.
