    someone did well to dupe that po-faced silly into participating in that pantomime; would have thought she took herself way too seriously

    1. The rock

      No my friends are 70 and scared to go out walk past loads of people not wearing masks and being stupid

      Welcome to the world of the aged that live petrified of dying from this
      He was brave for telling everyone about what’s it’s like
      I remember seeing him at Leeds United
      A brilliant player who had no fear in an era where many tackles would take the leg off you

      As for dining outside segment I actually thought it was a pisstake

    Have RTÉ removed the “Stay Safe” tag line they’ve had on their logo for the past 8 months?

    It’s becoming a parody now anyway

    So with a straight face she asks John Giles “would you explain where that worry is coming from- what is it that’s frightening you?”

    Claire Byrne Live would be a pretty good start I think.

      Maybe Claire could get John to do “the chicken crosses the road” on a rainbow zebra crossing next ! ….with an auld farmer bearing down on him in chugging smoking vintage tractor.

    Ha ha ha! That is some pretty strange TV from RTE. Jesus, poor Giles is like my Da not leaving the house. Although Giles is older at 80, so it’s very understandable. I hope he’s getting some exercise because that is important for the immune system.

    I began to write this post with the intention of having a laugh. The Claire Byrne Misery Porn is some of the funniest there is out there. It is the literal personification of a copy of the Irish Independent with the same audience. They should really be reading The Star but this gives them some element of respectability. They actually think this is factual. She probably thinks she’s a quality journalist! Then that smile is quickly replaced with a furrowed brow when I remember that A) this is our national broadcaster and B) how much (taxpayers money) she’s getting paid for this. She’s the warm up act for Joe Duffy. McSavage has no end of material to work with here if he decides to add to his satirical hit list.

    1. SOQ

      Do you not think there was something quite hypocritical about asking an old man why he is so afraid- knowing the fear and scaremongering they pump out every week?

      1. jockey

        I can’t help but picture the school yard bully who hits someone over and over and then pauses briefly to ask “Oh why are you afraid? I’m not going to hit you, I’m just going to stroke the side of your face like this”.

        1. SOQ

          Tell us how afraid we have made you feel? There is something very twisted in that sort of mindset- psychopathic even- certainly no empathy involved.
