Woman Claims "People Who Shared False News About Ballymun Dog Death Should Be Arrested"

It’s a follow-on to the Ballymun dog story episode — and this time the focus is on the fallout: the viral claim that “three Somalians” were caught cooking a dog in a public park… despite no video, no photos, and no proof.

A listener says the people spreading it should be arrested for inciting hatred. Adrian and Jeremy tear into how easily social media turns a made-up rumour into “fact”, and what that does to an entire community.

Callers clash over freedom of speech vs defamation, accountability for influencers, and whether forced retractions (or worse) are the only way to stop dangerous fake news.
