Quite simply the best masterclass in running rings around a bigoted ‘citizen journalist’ you’ll see anytime soon
In case you aren’t familiar with his ‘work’, Gearóid Kelly is an Irish YouTuber who claims to be a ‘citizen journalist’ – think ‘Tommy Robinson’.
His self-description isn’t the only thing he has in common with Mr. Yaxley-Lennon, and we don’t just mean their nationality. Kelly’s videos are full of conspiracy theories and racism – although he throws in a smattering of Bible quotations for good measure.
In 2024, he shared a clip of himself interviewing people he’d stopped on the streets of his home town of Wexford, and it was such a self-own we can hardly believe he didn’t just delete it.
Here’s what happened.
Whats with this one roaming around Wexford on a big suit doing hypothetical bigoted interviews. ♂️♂️

That’s how to handle a bigot. Gold stars to both men.
These people gave them a virtual pat on the back, too.
