Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A Deliveroo driver is ambushed outside a Subway on the Malahide Road — two teenage scrotes try to rob his €2,500 electric bike with an angle grinder, and he ends up fighting to get his bike and phone back.

Adrian & Jeremy speak to Allencar (from Brazil, here on a student visa) about what happened, and ask why people stood and watched instead of stepping in.

Then the debate kicks off: should delivery drivers be allowed carry pepper spray or some kind of weapon for protection… or is that a disaster waiting to happen?

Plus: “danger area” maps, scrambler bikes, Garda powers, and callers tearing strips off each other.

On this episode of Opinions Matter, Adrian & Jeremy take on the backlash after the Belfast riots — and the bizarre sight of people down south praising loyalists “like we’re all united now”, while the same gangs will be burning tricolours on 11th night bonfires in a few weeks.

They ask how anyone calling themselves a “patriot” can cheer on riots that saw homes targeted and families terrified.
