Can't see how long these two will remain on such a Left Wing Radio Station as Talk Sport.

James Whale and Jon Gaunt were both sacked, yet George Galloway is still allowed to voice his Far Left opinions.

just as long as it takes tge pc zealots to catch on.
Or a few labour wimmin.

A link would be helpful to TalkRadio's left wing manifesto/agenda

Have all its programmes, presenters and production staff been checked for political bias?

I never listen to it and I would be surprised if Old Git would listen to it if it is so politically biased so info on who has validated its political stance would be useful.

Of course, it may be that the station's real agenda is making money in which case attracting listeners with provocative and engaging presenters such as both Galloway and Gray would make sense.

Commercial Radio is a business - not a political entity.

They'll be "talking sport" , not politics.

I agree with you about it being a business. I don't listen to it any more. Stopped because the words 'provocative' and 'engaging' hardly ever applied to anything it broadcast. Loud and rude were mostly how it was.

Co-incedentally thats where Keys all but said he was resigning from Sky without giving them (Sky) the courtsey of his resignation....
What would make Talk-Sport employ a 'Judas'?
Its akin to having an affair with someone who is married and then being shocked that he would do it behind yOUR back...they'll learn....
BTW im not talking about the so called interpretation of which way a Radio Station leans politically -just grass roots.
Most of the punters will interpret it that way as well.

[Ankou]

like the above, they can talk about whatever they want. i won't be listening.

<<wimmin>>

cor that's hilarious.

I suppose it goes with your 'noo labour'

I remember how much i laughed when i first saw that done all those years ago.

Can you remind us what all the other cliches are?
I do still use Bliar I must admit and I recall 'elf n safety'

but i expect there are others still at the bottom of the barrel.

A list of your own devising or a link to some tired old directory would be good.

Perhaps other ABers can add some.

Bit of a come-down! I thought they were on a £multi-million deal with Sky. Seems their sackings were a bit over the top because of playful banter (and off air). If we go to sacking presenters because they have said something off hand it will be like turning the clock back. Jason on Ice Skating insulted another female presenter and was dragged over the coals for it. Its because of his outspoken comments that make the program so interesting so we don't want to lose them.

Rov -think its a given they signed their own 'death' warrants on Sky.....

[Dris]

Have to say I enjoyed that as well Steve re Galloway (about the only thing I have miaow lol)

[joggerjayne]

LOL, LOL, LOL ... LOL ...

[joggerjayne]

I think they will be very jolly.

they are now on six-figure salaries. Were they on seven figures before? Then they are heading for the poorhouse.

Ian Collins is the only person worth listening to on talksport.
