James tries to remove climate activist from studio

James Whale clashes with climate activist Deborah Hodge after she lied about marrying her cat for publicity.
The mum-of-four from Sidcup previously told the media that she had married her cat to prevent her landlord from evicting the animal. However, during the interview, James discovered she had lied to get a platform as a climate change activist.

At first I thought James Whale was being unreasonable as I've seen before on his show how he can sometimes get very annoyed, but looking online who this woman is it's apparent that she's such a fame wannabe. It's TalkTV's fault for having such an annoying fame wannabe on the show, and I can now understand why James wanted her off his show.

[@burgesspark685]

Since Nietzsche announced "The death of God" we have seen the collapse of most traditional religions. As we stop believing in the old religions, we still have a fear of death and a need to believe in some higher power. So we invent new religions. Climate Alarmism, Wokeism or Victimology are the new theologies. People who adhere to these new religions dont realise that they are promoting a new religion, they think they are just being more compassionate or more sensitive or more kind. They are actually more dogmatic than those of the traditional religions because the traditionalists have some awareness of their positioning "I am an evangelical Christian" An alarmists will never say "I am an apocalyptic environmentalist" Instead they say "I am more aware of the science" or "I care about people more than you" Its always cast in a superior moralistic framework - as all religions are Thats why Evangelical fundamentalist alarmists never respond to rational argument. In addition - James's Malthusian views of overpopulation have been around for 200 years and they are still pseudoscientific nonsense today. The earth has more than enough resources to support everyone - the problems are all politically manufactured

She claims a humorous allegiance Sasha Baron Cohen, she's on her second PHd, since 2016 she's been in the news more than 50 times... for making up stories. Then she talks about climate change... So someone who boasts in making up stories is probably not the best person to speak on climate change... Or maybe she is lol :) but it was entertaining how James wanted her to be kicked out because he couldn't 'hang up' on her. I hope James lightens up a bit on his show, he says he's offensive but it only makes his life more miserable than it needs to be, he needs a regular guest with good sense of humour :)

These people may well have mental issues . We are living in times when i believe humans are changing in that when i was yoing non of these problems existed even drugs were not an issue and young black men murdering other young black men on an almost daily basis again did not exist.I can remember a time when there was little traffic on the roads and road rage was another modern trait that did not exist.The point i am making is unless you are 74 and over you will have no idea of what i am talking about.I have seen a slow but definite change in human behaviour. Which logic says will be very dangerous for your children because i have only seen the situation get worse and i see no logical reason the situation will reverse.

[@joannaleach2153]

Drugs and violence have ALWAYS been an issue. It just that since the 70s and 'the war on drugs' you hear about it more. Also, modern media ensures the news travels further afield. The latter point applies to violence too, of course! Your point about black men is weird. Anyway, a lot of folk seem to have spent a lot of last century fucking kids. Soooooo.....there might be more road rage now but atleast your kids are less likely to be fiddled with by people in positions of truat. Swings n roundabouts, I s'pose 😂

[@artfuldodger9312]

One potential solution to address the presence of individuals who engage in protests and hold extreme beliefs is to consider the concept of gathering them together and relocating them to a remote desert island, where they can freely express and debate their unconventional ideas without causing disruption to society at large. This strategy would essentially create an isolated environment where these individuals can engage in intellectual battles and assert their viewpoints, while minimizing the potential negative impact they may have on the broader population. By allowing them to coexist and confront their differences within their own community, it may provide an opportunity for self-reflection and potentially lead to a more harmonious society in the long run.
