Joe Duffy Highlights Makeup at Protest![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joe Duffy invited two protesters, Holly, and Leah, who were at the protest at the Dáil on Tuesday the 18th of May, on to his Radio show on RTE. These two protesters were contacted because they had been wearing fake blood, in an attempt to highlight that the Gardaí had taken quite violent action, including bludgeoning protesters with steel batons, against people who were fighting against public service cuts - indeed fighting against the very cuts that the Gardaí themselves will suffer. The reason they were called on the show became apparent very quickly. It was to make an example of them, lampoon them and castigate them for their theatrics. The irony of this is that, were they to have remained "respectful protesters" they would never have been on the show at all. Real politics has no place in our media, and clowns like Duffy should know this full well. |
