Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

Double post edited

Yes options for change are limited, I think recently SF support is growing outside working class areas but it's completely tanking within them because of their support for immigrants being moved in to those areas.

Are you new here? 😀. A transition year radio production would look more professional side by side with Joe. It defy help matters that the production staff are overridden by Lord Clontarf regularly so I’d say he was creaming himself at the thought of getting the woman on

The Garda morale is so low because they did not see any results to their hard work. What's the point of arresting offenders, processing the paperwork, attending court cases just to see them having a slap on the wrist and clocking up another previous conviction.

Funny how de brave Brazilian seed de day yet feral thugs were allowed steal bikes food etc

Wonder if Joe will cover anything from yesterday or will it be some one who found an old Christmas pudding in the back of a cupboard, and wonders should they eat it?

Its safe to say the entire garda curriculum needs an overhaul. 8 months seems shockingly short to learn all the things an average guard needs to know. Also, a pragmatic approach is needed. If a guard's career is going to be spent on Pulse and doing paperwork, maybe 8 months is sufficient. However, you would wonder, especially after last night, how much time is dedicated to controlling crowds, reacting to riots, etc? Are they trained in the use of a water cannon? Pat Kenny said this morning, why did they not deploy mounted police to aid the situation?

Loive from FootLocker.

The 'far right' label being thrown about day in day out is crazy, by the criteria they are using someone in leafy Dalkey or Blackrock objecting to a halting site going in their area is a member of the far right

I’ve a feeling Joe won’t broach this. I do hope though that he’ll be reigned in by the higher ups and ta he en off air. If I was KB I’d be paying particular attention to yesterdays show as a valid reason to invalidate the fat lads contract.

I was listening to Neil Prendeville in the car for a while earlier. Some sensible callers, but Jesus there's some number of whackers in Cork who seek to justify the riots in Dublin yesterday. Some of the theories that were put forward by callers included:

- The riots were organised by the Gardai to undermine anti-immigrant protestors

- The rioters were mostly foreigners who shouldn't have been allowed into the country in the first place.

Several repeated the mantra "you can replace the buses but you can't replace the children" (as if it were a choice between one and the other???). 

That said, the issues discussed are far closer to what people care about than the horseshit being dished up by Liveline in recent months. It struck me also was how vastly superior Prendeville is to RTE's citizen journalist and part-time telephonist, despite being on a fraction of his wage.

Joe sounding very downcast:

Justice for Riley Helpless Grapevine,

banned from anudder thread

It’s a fair point actually that RTE doesn’t ready reflect the more pressing public issues out there. Yeah I knew there’s a frontline but other than that we have Liveline that reflects whatever Joe is tugging himself off to in that particular week. The remainder of the output is slanted to ignore any dissenting views. I’ve a feeling Pele might be more worried if she if the general loppers had an order and that night out pressure in the government to deal with the so this ask might not have harkened. Another way RTE aren’t for for purpose
