Nolan Show

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

The Nolan show I'm sure does some good, but high ratings doesn't mean that the progamme provides NET community benefit or public good.  In my view it does public harm as it promotes ThemUns v Ussuns style discussion in a way that is not constructive. 

It is not remotely edifying and I can't see how it makes any attempt to take the level of public discourse out of the gutter. 

Do not confuse programmes that interest the public with programmes that are in the public interest.

I'm sure Naked Attraction has good ratings; doesn't mean that it is in the public interest,

The Nolan Show, like anything Piers Morgan does, is about him not the subject matter.

I would say Morgan is multiple times better than Nolan.

Morgan at least has the balls to stand up to anyone & ask the hard questions.

Nolan only seems to have the gonads to do this to a certain sector of the community

In fairness he got stuck into the DUP over RHI

He did .daily for about 6 months

Your man Tim McKane was live on air and openly invited Nolan to sue him. Wonder did anything ever come of that?

Another rocket head

Why is he a rocket head, whatever that is?

Rants incessantly on Twitter

In tim's case a lot of it is very constructive. I enjoy his posts. He basically says what we are all thinking that Nolan is nothing but a road block to proper peace in our time just for the sake a few listeners and viewers on tele. How the BBC can justify his enormous wage i'll never get my head around it

He had to for RHI - for everything else it seems only one side of the community get it.

How long did he go on about Storey?

His contributors to the show is a major sticking point for many people

Not sure , stopped listening to him , but storey another disgrace just like rhi. Mon contributed to it by stubbornly refusing to admit wrong.  Could have nipped it in the bud and gained some respect
He had to follow the storey issue too, blatant 2 fingers to us all from govt

Ive been listening to his show since the DUP went belly up, I just catch up with selected bits on BBC Sounds. The first segment  in this  morning's show ranked with the worst. It dealt with Nolan ringing his church bells with gusto and ranting against the Irish Republic BIAS against NORN IRON UK citizens,  on behalf of the trials and tribulations experienced by  a Newry couple arriving into Dublin Airport from Edinburgh on a British passport, with no negative covid test who were subsequently escorted into a quarantine hotel. 

It irritates me to hear the term used Irish Republic, It's Ireland !!! the effin name of the country is Ireland , as is named in Dev's constitution.
The Republic of Ireland is just a description, it is not the name of the country. What we got is Ireland  and Northern Ireland. And on an Irish passport is Ireland  with a nice graphic of the whole Island.

It's Éire

My guess is that Nolan will be retired before too long.

BBC will likely be subject to an enquiry or two soon about playing a role in facilitating propaganda and hate. They're not daft. They know it's coming. And they'll try to walk away from it before it happens.

[Snapchap]

What we got is Ireland  and Northern Ireland.

You know what's worse than Nolan's terminology? People from the south trying to appropriate the name Ireland as as the name of the 26 counties and the 26 counties only.

It must have been a ratings winner for him, a bit like the Bobby Storey funeral.

He must run a story, see what the ratings are like and then decide whether to shít stir more or move on to something else.

He did a bit about Muckamore and then moved on quickly. The ratings weren't there.

I remember listening to Nolan a few years back (before I stopped) and he was asking listeners to recommend places to visit in the 'Republic of Ireland' on a short break since he had never been down south. He made it sound like it was an alien land far away but the fact that he hadn't been across the border said enough. His blatant ignorance and disdain for anything to do with Irish culture and tradition was always very obvious on air.

Going to defend Nolan here, I don't think he is sectarian at all. He just stokes the flames from either side to get an argument going, get the ratings up, that is all he cares about. The stupid people are those that think he is biased against their side. I worked with a girl from Bangor who didn't believe me when I said he was a protestant from Belfast, she truly believed he was a secret shinner.

He is just a wind-up merchant and I listen to his show purely for the entertainment value of some idiot from the Shankill or West Belfast ringing in with their sectarian views.

There's probably something to that alright, Mario.

IMO there is more likelihood to get an over the top rage reaction from the "PUL" community - possibly why he goes harder on the shinners, or stokes the brexit and protocol issues.

I still think he's rotten for stoking up any tensions - but he's happy enough with his bag of silver.

The fact is that he sometimes sets the agenda and it's pure sectarian bullshit as we see Robin Swann wanting to speak to his Irish counterpart about how the Newry couple were treated that boils my piss.

He's the Jeremy Kyle of Norn Iron radio and shouldn't be taken seriously as he isn't a qualified journalist by his own admission

[brokencrossbar1]

It is not so much that he is sectarian it's the fact that he has a clear issue with SF because they won't speak to him and he goes out of his way to target them. Deirdre Hargey is his present target through the COVID grants and the capita stuff. Whilst there may be something requiring investigation it has made it all the sweeter by being a SF lead department.

It's all about ratings and to be honest he gets a greater stir in the pot from the PUL community as they are vulnerable at the minute and like a cornered rat would do they are lashing out harder. He is a shock jock. Every so often he has decent stories but most of the time he is stirring it up.

I wonder if he'll do something in the RUC station closing in Cross. Let's be honest that will be one of the biggest stories of its kind given the history of the place. Will be some party when the walls are pulled down,  kinda like the Berlin Wall, we will all be looking out piece of rubble!!!
