Andrew Doyle just rocked my boat

have picked up snapshots of his opinions on here from other posts, but have only just got around to hearing what he has to say in full and he blew me away.

He has that same calm presence of Joyce, but is more articulate on the whole left and right thing.

Cannot do links, it was a you tube… Dave saves America worth a watch.

Joyce?

CocoapuffPuff · 03/09/2024 21:15

Do you mean Helen Joyce?
Was it too hard to type her full name, if so?

Bannedontherun · 03/09/2024 21:17

Soz Helen Joyce, also rocks my boat.

Both are incredibly insightful

I watched this a few days ago.

Andrew Doyle was excellent, as usual, but the host was awful.

If you like a laugh - look at Titania McGrath on Twitter - his alter ego

Interesting that you say that I thought he was honest about himself, and was trying to move his world view from an American lens.

Which Doyle dealt with so well.

@Softycatchymonkeys Thankyou actually i have marked it to watch tomorrow.

i bloody love satirising bollocks, if you get my drift.

Ahh, yes! Andrew Doyle has the same balsamic effect on my brain than Helen Joyce. My neurons do a happy dance when listening to anyone of them 🤭

Thanks, OP. I'm another fan of both Helen Joyce and Andrew Doyle - they're probably my two favourite commentators on the gender woo.

It took me a couple of tries to find the video you mentioned - it's Dad Saves America, not Dave! I've found it now and I'll listen to it tomorrow, here's the link for anyone else interested.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

@morningtoncrescent62 thanks feel like a twat now - oh well

Thank you OP. Been meaning to listen to this.

Crouton19 · 03/09/2024 23:11

I love him too but he has blocked me on twitter (no idea why) so I often don't see the clips and interviews he's done. Thanks OP for flagging this one!

YellowAsteroid · 03/09/2024 23:18

Oh yes, I've been listening to/watching Dr Doyle for several years. I may have a rather embarrassing crush on him. <ahem>

You might like to go back to his podcast Free Speech Nation, which then turned into Free Speech Nation on GB News. THe only thing worth watching on GB News, although it's a bit hit & miss - the podcast is more thoughtful, IMO.

It's hilarious that the regular audience on his GB News programme was probably homophobic and right-wing, while Dr Doyle is gay & a clear left winger liberal. But they love him!

He got a lot of flak on Twitter from "GC ultras" for using Debbie Hayton's gender-reassignment pronouns (ie she/her) when Hayton's book came out. Such is the problem of single-issue feminism without nuance.

Me too. He'd be at my dinner party, along with Helen Joyce

MsNeis · 04/09/2024 08:14

I wanted to recommend his reviews on Unherd. He has a background on literature and education, if I remember correctly, and sometimes he writes cultural reviews: he's hilarious (as well as insightful).

(My number one for reviews is Kathleen Stock, however: no one can write like her!)

Agreed. Kathleen's been writing for the Times recently and her articles are a pleasure to read - the comments are always complimentary.
I've just listened to Andrew - what a pleasure it was and so good to hear a gay man unpick this destructive ideology with such knowledge and insight.
He's an excellent ally for children, gay people and women's rights.

FranticFrankie · 04/09/2024 09:48

Re crush; me too @YellowAsteroid

But I have also enjoyed reading Titania McGrath’s insightful and entertaining posts
😃

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it like that, and after you'd been kind enough to post about a video I wouldn't have come across otherwise! I apologise for my clumsiness.

Bannedontherun · 04/09/2024 14:21

It’s okay mornings 😀

Did everyone in the world except me know that Titania McGrath was Andrew Doyle's creation? I had no idea, I always wondered who the genius behind Titania was.

DavidBattenburgh · 04/09/2024 21:54

Titania doesn't post anymore but I've often wondered if Andrew is Dame Katy Denise.

Me too. There's definitely some similarities.
