Gladys Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 23 minutes ago, d.r said: That's a totally unfair amount of responsibility to put on someone calling into a talk show. Someone assumed enough responsibility to spark an investigation and suspension. It was not just the first caller but the two that followed in quick succession that is making a lot of us think this was an orchestrated stitch up. There is also the strange very first caller who seemed to bottle out of saying something quite challenging ending up saying he thought Stu/MR were doing a good job. Wonder what that was all about? Perhaps he didn't really have the courage of his convictions to be in the vanguard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably cannot relate if you have not ever been in the minority. But ok, it was not live on CNN sure. I still would not wanna do it. Perhaps you shouldn't have bottled out then.

Are minority people usually scared of using the telephone then just in case the person on the other end of the line happens to be white?

Except in your imagination. I have never asked for or even want any member of BLM IOM to explain to me anything about their issues. As I said, the shenanigans on Manx Radio haven't done your cause any good at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can still go a read around the issue they brought up and not expect to have is all handed to you by one individual caller. Plus the idea that it is somehow a caller's fault for a radio presenter getting suspended from his own call-in show is totally absurd - if that is what you were suggesting.

To be fair, in this type of programme, it's usually the 'Shock Jock' who is doing all the shouting over the caller. Perhaps Stu P is not that experienced at this , I don't know because I don't listen to him, maybe this time he came up against someone who was better at it than him? Weren't Stu Ps comments which followed the Jordan call as much to blame for the mess he finds himself in??? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it started a conversation about race and police brutality and I haven't been in too many of those on the IOM before. I see that as a positive step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I'm really surprised at some of the posters on here who seem to be denigrating the basic principal for the sake of defending ''OUR STU''. It makes them sound as though they think that BLs Dont Matter. I'm sure it's not the case but there comes a time to simply say, CV is not the time and violence is not helpful but I do believe in the principal of the protest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let the behaviour of one caller to a tiny local radio station put you off a cause you probably weren't that arsed about it in the first place. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you read round a subject on a live radio show? It was an ambush. I am sure the callers thought they were very clever and would really tell that Peters bloke. But to a great number of people it has undermined their view of BLM, confirmed with coverage of what has happened in the UK. It also set in train a sequence of events which do freedom of thought and speech, BLM IOM, MR and Stu Peter's very little good. Top Mark's or bravo, as you say. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
