TRSI 249 - The ghost in the machine

A new poll shows public support for the Gender Recognition Act of 2015 is at astoundingly low levels; and the WHO says it was "preemptive" for them to dismiss the theory that COVID-19 may have leaked from a Chinese lab.

TRSI 248 - Batista and what Cuba could have been

FF looks into the void and decides it looks pretty comfortable; things not to say in Western politics; a deepfake video of Simon Harris ; and Cuba goes for a second revolution.

TRSI 247 - Will Fianna Fail go gentle into that good night?

A short review of the Dublin Bay South byelection, followed by an extended discussion of what Fianna Fail can do to reverse the decline Martin is dedicated to overseeing.

 

12:19 - Fianna Fail results

35:41 - Where are the free Irish voters?

47:48 - What is to be done with Martin?

TRSI 246 - You can't handle the costings

They're now just refusing to say how much the children's hospital is expected to cost; and a new bill aims to make the civil service even worse.

TRSI 245 - Your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train

Bohemia glassworkers in the time of the Third Reich; the media has picked their candidate to win the DBS byelection; and a kind word for Malcolm Byrne as he calls China out. 

TRSI 244 - I've been a bad, bad newspaper

The mad kings of NPHET declare lockdown shall continue until they are satisfied with our tribute; and the Irish Times decides Viktor Orban is too extreme to let him talk to their readers, but the genocidal CCP are just right.

TRSI 243 - Enjoy the silence

NPHET seem to think bringing in antigen testing will cause the public to slather themselves in butter to fake tests; the IMF says our new climate bill will cost 200 billion over the next decade, and Labour want people to stop putting in planning objections.

TRSI 242 - It's not our fault

Polling and dark campaigns; latest polls show SF are the most popular party, but can they make that a reality; and if the government is doing a mighty job of protecting the aviation industry why did over 450 people just lose their job?

TRSI 241 - You must believe!

The lesser Mary is at it again; the Maya Forstater case and the respectability of the gender critical view; the intricacies of political polling; and alcohol consumption is going down, but also somehow staying at the same level.

TRSI 240 - Vote for our bastards, not theirs

In a year heavy with silly ideas an Irish NGO has gone for gold by saying it wants to give the government the power to remove candidates from elections if they say the wrong things; Ze Germans say they're coming for our EU Veto; and the lab leak theory makes a glorious return to respectable discourse.
