Since fcking when???

Then get Helen Joyce on the LLS and debate the lunacy of the gender ideological cult.

Invite BeLongTo or one of those organisations and ask them out how ethical it is to have a minister’s husband market dangerous puberty blockers while the Government she sits in pushes them??

Get O’Gorman on and grill him how the the shocking rise in illegal immigration is a direct result of his at best ineptitude and at worst deviousness.

Hell, bring on Greenpeace or similar and remind them that China and India pollute more than anyone!!

No thought not - there are left wing sacred cows that RTE are shit scared to touch. And they know it.

But yeah you say anything eh ?
It’s a flat out lie to claim you can say anything on TV in a country where no politician from either of the two main parties have been asked a hard question in 10 years, where graft and corruption is rarely mentioned, where only one side of any social debate is given real airtime, and where every TV channel has loudly and strongly taken a side in every referendum.
In terms of what is allowed on TV, Ireland is barely better than North Korea, just a little more subtle.

Worth taking a look at Kimmel's idea of a special message of support for his peers when the shoe was on the other foot.

Funny story by comedian Mark Sherwood Merchant about Jimmy Kimmels sister Jill once messaging him to tell he’d never be on the Jimmy Kimmel show because “you’re a racist” - she’s an entertainer on cruise ships. She objected to one of his puppets called Wing Tip Shu.
Being an arsehole obviously runs in the family.

Of course it’s not true. But the worst thing is that everybody knows this, too, but choses to ignore it when it suits them. There is nothing that Europeans seem to love more than to ridicule the US and to tell themselves that they are much smarter. The biggest idiots usually have the highest opinion of themselves.

There was some body cam footage of Robinson being stopped for traffic accident some time ago recently released.

It gives some indication of his mannerisms and he seems to speak quite formally.

So does anyone remember the first guy that was arrested and released?

Turns out he said he did it to help Robinson get away. Then when arrested by the fbi they found child porn on his phone and sent him to prison.

Does the US have a similar offence as assisting an offender or aiding and abetting?? Surely he’s a textbook case?

The horrible videos will see him sent down anyway thankfully.

Yes, we have something called The legal term ‘aiding and abetting’ in the US, a legal term that refers to a person’s action to help, support, or approve of someone else’s illegal act. Aiding and abetting is a crime in itself, held against those who would somehow assist a criminal, short of physically contributing to the illegal act. But it might not be easily prosecuted in this matter as he didn’t know the assassin and merely was merely trying to give cover for the killer. But his actions did lead to confusion in the crucial minutes immediately following the shooting, Therefore he was charged with obstruction of justice, instead.

Zinn was also hit with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after he let authorities search his phone and told them that he uses his phone to view child sex abuse material.

Some lovely people we have here on the Left. :roll:

We have some real winner on the Right, also. But lately it's been those on the Left that have advocated for violence to an exponential proportion.

There’s a reboot starring Kathy Bates.

It’s alright not a patch on the classic!
