Just realised @BenKentish is on @lbc . Some of these frothing callers are going to have heart attacks. They are characters worthy of a Fast Show sketch.
@lbc@BenKentish Chap spouting the stuff about EU a/cs not being audited. I know this has been rebutted but can someone point me to the true story. Bloke claims Farridge was right for context.
Frothers spend 3 hours winding themselves up listening to @mrjamesob then try to relieve the pressure by shouting at @ShelaghFogarty only to have their arses handed to them is a thing to behold! @lbc
@TomSwarbrick1 @@LBC hat tip to you Tom for battling the cringe to get through that hour of calls! I know it wasn’t meant to be funny but it really was.
@lbc@TomSwarbrick1 Oh Steve! ‘I like Boris, he lies, he’s a cad, he cheats……. They’re all the same, Blunkett, Scargill, Prescott’ . But I don’t vote cos HS2!!!
@lbc@SangitaMyska Fair play to Sangita for attempting a meaningful dialogue with John Deadwood but it’s like wrestling with a jellyfish. Rude git too! “Why don’t you listen to me”
Late 50s/early60s (also in Ayrshire) we too had one who relished pulling back his jacket to show the belt over his shoulder to scare us, and that was in Sunday School! Later became a ‘popular’ town councillor. Sadistic bastard.
Sadly in my experience many enjoyed it. They instilled fear in their pupils and revelled in the power it gave them. We had one who carried it over his shoulder under his jacket on a daily basis.
