Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Co. Tyrone has sparked outrage after a mock-up mosque was placed on top with the slogan “secure our borders, end the threat of radical Islam” — and it was set alight early when police moved to remove it.

Adrian and Jeremy ask: is this pure sectarian, hate-filled carry on… or “just a bonfire” making a political point?

One gay listener says he struggles to feel sympathy because of Islam’s attitude to LGBTQ people, while others rip into the hypocrisy of “patriots” down south cheering on the same loyalists who burn tricolours, the Pope and the Virgin Mary.

On todays podcast, a wife and mum caused uproar when she revealed what she told her daughter.. the exact reason why mammy and daddy broke up!

A topic about weed smoking parents took a shocking turn when a listener sent in a selfie.. smoking her third joint of the day in the garden, while her two young kids play in a paddling pool. Listeners demanded she be reported

It’s a follow-on to the Ballymun dog story episode — and this time the focus is on the fallout: the viral claim that “three Somalians” were caught cooking a dog in a public park… despite no video, no photos, and no proof.

A listener says the people spreading it should be arrested for inciting hatred. Adrian and Jeremy tear into how easily social media turns a made-up rumour into “fact”, and what that does to an entire community.

Callers clash over freedom of speech vs defamation, accountability for influencers, and whether forced retractions (or worse) are the only way to stop dangerous fake news.

A horrific video from Ballymun sparked a rumour that “three Somalians were spit-roasting a dog in a field" — and the story exploded across social media and even into the UK.

In this episode, Adrian and Jeremy call it out as “absolute bollocks”, asking one simple question: where’s the proof? With the NSPCA confirming they investigated burnt remains, and eyewitness Keith describing melted wheelie-bin plastic and an axle — not a barbecue spit — the lads dig into how Chinese whispers turn into “facts”.

Live callers react, tempers flare, and the bigger issue is hammered home: a dog was killed, and fake news is distracting from justice.
