Gerry was a coke head

[Westsidex]

I didn't make any comment on his nature. I didn't know him. I would love it if you would stay quiet while I speak but on past experience I find that unlikely

Maybe you didnt experience the horrors of listening to him on his radio show? Listening to him speak like some kind of Primadonna.

By the way its all over the news,
Westside.

I think he is a striking example of our decadent years he was earning over €400,000 plus prob other appearence money etc
and he couldnt make ends meet his financial affairs were a mess,it was touched on that prior to his death he had a meeting
with the bank and his financial advisor and it did not go well. He lived a party lifestyle, by his own admission eating in top
restaurants most nights and had an alcohol problem aswell

I wouldnt talk to him if he did,

Well it is really, because as we are being told without drug users there would be no drug trade so if u use or buy
drugs u are partly responsible for the misery murder and mayhem that surrounds the trade. This guy was in the
public eye and on his show carried out many segments through the years vilifying drugs and all associated with
them, thats just sheer hypocrisy

Not necessarily.

You could argue that he knew full well the damage the drug was doing.

The guy obviously had troubles. Who are we to judge?

Well, what would happen if he fully condoned drug use, and admitted his own use? He would lose his job, that's what. He may be a hypocrite but he's not stupid. I, too, would vilify drug use live on air and I'm sure he felt like he needed to - it's not socially acceptable to use drugs and to portray drugs as anything other than repugnant is seen as disgusting by the public. He was hardly going to say how much craic drugs are on-air and risk losing his job.

Do you think people really think about the Peruvian family enslaved by the drug trade while they horse cocaine up their nose? Of course not. As the old saying goes: "Out of sight, out of mind". It's sad but true!

I am probably a tad too liberal to be having this debate with anyone, anyway.

Not at all. Do carry on

Well looks like Gerry Ryan had a bit of a reaction to the cocaine he was snorting
A bit hypocritical really as many the time he pontificated to us on his radio
programme about the ills of Drug use. Seems like his whole life was a mess
as it seems his financial affairs were in total dissaray aswell.
The statement made by his wife Morag after the inquest was very telling
once u read between the lines

wonderfull to have you back posting ber...ryan was the voice of so many...maybe that fact made him self implode?

I 100% agree with u that people dont care,we are just a selfish society full of selfish people who dont care about
anything or anybody once we are ok ourselves and get our buzz . The thing is we see where we have ended up
at the moment with our greed and selfishness ,and dont think for one minute that it is not all connected,all just
another sympthom of the malaise we now live in
