    What I don’t understand is why when it was happening in Calais you were all fundraising and donating to help for Calais, now it’s sorted by closing the camps a d letting them go wandering and Ireland has the problem you’re aghast. Total NIMBY. Cannot send them back to UK as UK send them to France-Germany-Italy etc. it’s not a problem that can be sorted. Get on with it. Maybe it’s the cost Ireland have to pay for the EU backing u up re Brexit

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#911 Should We Shut Ireland Down for 24 Hours to Make the Government Listen?
Q: Could a national strike finally force the government to listen, or would it cause more harm than good?
The guests and callers disagree. Supporters say coordinated action could create leverage for workers, while others point to cancelled appointments, delayed farm payments and disruption to essential services.
#911 Should We Shut Ireland Down for 24 Hours to Make the Government Listen?
Q: Do you believe that would work, a national strike?
John Dallon says a nationwide walkout could get the government to listen, arguing that people must unite and press for action on living costs.
#913 My Husband Became a Woman and I Became a Trans Widow
Q: Are there many people in that and are you part of a community now?
Shannon says women are increasingly finding one another, though some stay anonymous because of concerns about legal repercussions. She is starting a support group and is working on a book.
#913 My Husband Became a Woman and I Became a Trans Widow
Q: Were there any indications when you were courting and dating or when you got married first, that this was going to happen or that there was something unusual?
Shannon says there were no signs while they were dating. She recalls that her husband later made excuses for shaving body hair, and she gradually noticed other changes.
#914 France Is Burning and Should Offensive Opinions Land You in Prison? With John MGuirk
Q: What is driving the riots in France, and has President Emmanuel Macron lost control?
McGuirk connects the unrest to wider political and social tensions, including opposition to Western society and the pressures of France's political model. The conversation also considers student protests over school conditions, immigration, and the shift from demonstrations to looting and destruction.
