Did you stay up?
Thank you to, clockwise from top left: Olga Cronin, celebrity accountant Vanessa Foran, ‘Preposterous‘, Neil Curran, Conor O’Neil and Luke Brennan, our panel on last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.
The show, produced by Neil, can be viewed in its entirety above.
A packed show that included Olga on Disclosures tribunal and Vanessa on the British Royal visit, was dominated by the middle east as Conor discussed Senator Frances Black’s bill to boycott goods from settlement territories and the plan to get it it through both houses of the Oireachtas.

Previously: Broadsheet on the Telly
Intended watching last night but got caught on a long phone call and didn’t tune in. A friend who did watch, informed me that the subject of my comments to Vanessa on a certain thread last weekend and Vanessa’s vanity, were brought up. As I said, I haven’t seen it yet, should get time over the weekend and will respond in due course.
I stand by what I said last weekend. If you want to block and delay my comments, that’s your game and prerogative.
When you make a health issue public, especially the possibility of cancer, it’s human nature for people to ask how you are, willing you to have been given the all-clear. I was in that position some years back, when asked how I was doing, I’d reply that I was awaiting my biopsy results or my MRI results – as did my sister-in-law, who sadly lost her battle. Luckily for me, it was a false alarm. To blatantly ignore someone asking how you are and if you’d had the all-clear and to then ramble on incoherently in one post after another, was damn right rude and as was pointed out by Rotide, narcissistic.
As I said, something seemed amiss and still seems amiss.
It’s your circus, Vanessa and it’s the Vanessa Show every Thursday night, carry on, do your thing, but don’t expect people to give a rat’s arse when you continue to insult their intelligence like this.
PS. It would be nice to hear Olga’s, Johnny’s and Neil’s opinions in equal measure to yours.
…surprised Conor O’Neill didn’t point out that the Bill proposes a ban on goods from illegally occupied settlements…the boycott of goods by the BDS movement includes all exports from the ‘legally’ occupied Palestine…
The ban on goods from illegal settlements needs to be expanded to one covering all of Israel. As I have said before many times if lobbyists really want to hurt Israel they need to put pressure on their politicians to force the Israelis to declare their nuclear weapons.
The second that they do, a large amount of the billions they receive through foreign aid programs around the world would have to stop by law.
