It’s always a pleasure John Gibbons, environmental journalist, on the Hard Shoulder.

He was on this evening's edition because a tweet caught our eye from him earlier today:

"Good to see tonight’s Late Late Show featuring young climate activists. However, the same RTE show will in 2 weeks be turned over to annual hyped-up orgy of throw-away crap aka the Toy Show. Beyond time to align our actions with our values".

Ivan couldn't get on board with it, despite John's passionate explanation.
