  • This one really takes the biscuit.

    As tenured pros I would expect one to have the facility to utilize several data sources to analyze and draw ones own conclusions.

    Sometimes those that we perceive to be piers are really only interested and in utilizing useful idiots.

    Jim, Harney & her beau sold the health service down the river.

    Chris, it's not your fault you were a bog warmer.

    Seachain thú fein.

    Le meas,

    Padraig.

    Just unfollowed the show after both your comments on the Irish flag. I’ve listened to your show for years, but I’m finished now. Disgraceful.

  • Stay off the social media

    I have been listening to this podcast from the start and while I have always found it very informative and interesting to listen to recently Jim just keeps going on about the left and social media comments he is getting. He is clearly too sensitive to the online trolls and needs to stay off his social media.. it’s really turning me off the podcast at this stage and I don’t remember him being so sensitive when he used to do his quarterly economic outlook statements for us all in Friends first

  • Good pod

    Some missing facts however, the aim is to increase not just GDP but GDP per head. Controlled skilled immigration good in this regard, mass unskilled migration not so good. There’s more than enough unskilled labour to staff the country never mind the housing requirement that goes with mass migration!

War: A podcast special
Q: Was Trump correct in bombing Iran on Saturday night?
The justification for Trump's bombing hinges on the belief that if the Iranians have nuclear weapons, they may use them; however, there is evidence suggesting that Iranians have acted rationally in previous conflicts.
