Beckenham Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Let him off over the housing 'solution' though. Is there no broadcaster who can understand that when an item loses value a vendor must lower the price??? I suppose it's so silly an idea that it's not worth dwelling on. He's certainly giving him a good slap elsewhere in the interview. Oh, and what I love about Gordon is that when the global economy is fine he’s the cause but when its all gone wrong it’s just the global economy.

Last Avenue Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) That must go down as the least deferential interview ever of a Prime Minister Broon should go down in history as a bullsh!t icon. He deserves even worse interviews in the future - bet he avoids Humphreys for a while. Edited May 15, 2008 by Last Avenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DissipatedYouthIsValuable Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Superb. I enjoy bastards like this being torn apart. Excellent work, a bit more stabbing at Gordon's tennets of ******** and he's going to blow.

laurejon Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have to say I am getting quite annoyed about the spin and bad press put on Gordon Brown by the media over the past months. The electorate should be the ones who decide his fate, not the press or the Television stations that are constantly pumping out mistruths about a man who has served his nation to the best of his ability. Gordon Brown has ensured that we have 50,000 less Muslim Women and Children to worry about in Iraq. We no longer have to live alongside poor people, as they are fortunately priced out of our streets. No more screaming babies living next door as young couples are now homeless No more poor people in our shops as they are priced out of the jobs market and live on subsistence benefits, a small price to pay for the taxpayer to clean the streets up of all the riff raff. If we can ensure that Gordon remains for another 9 months, we can get rid of those ridiculous postmen who keep blocking the paths of our cars when we travel down narrow streets, we can get anyone we dont like detained indefinately simply by suggesting they are a terrorist (I saw him boiling kidney beans in his kitchen and his kids drink Fanta Orange Juice), and hopefully we can increase the taxes on the poor even further in order that they leave this pleasant land to live a life of riches in Romania or Poland. Gordon Brown is single handedly responsible for all the above and more besides, I for one salute him and look forward to meeting him at the next Bilderburg conference whereby we can agree to raise interest rates and inflation further as "The Family" is down to our last £50bn.

Last Avenue Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 John Humphreys has established a new, more belligerent, tone for political cross-examination. Hope some other journalists take up the challenge to drive Broon into the screaming corner he belongs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Avenue Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 That was SO good! - a radio treat to treasure for some time to come. I haven't come down from the buzz yet..... A radio interview masterclass. Neither Broon nor Humphreys missed a stroke. The main obstacle to getting any sense and truth out of the snotgobbler is his constant barrage of tractor statistics. Humphreys only option is to interrupt vigorously and repeatedly. The result today was a draw, with Broon (as is the convention) getting the last word. There will need to be a rematch because, for the sanity of the country, Brown has to be broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyHead Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Total Mauling.. ! It's over for Brown, Its just the method of de-thronement thats up for debate now. Long lingering 2 year death, or mercy killing by the labour party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a double header Fern and Humpries in the red corner - Brown and Darling in the blue corner.

Long lingering 2 year death, or mercy killing by the labour party! There's no fun in a knockout. We may as well enjoy watching a few more delicious lingering rounds. The puppetmasters are in control of the economy anyway, I wouldn't expect anything different with any other leader. After the last ten years I'm enjoying this new bloodsport and don't want to see the fox torn apart too quickly.

DabHand Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 John was criticised by listeners recently for giving Brown an easy time and being more aggressive when interviewing Cameron. There was even a program slot where they went over these complaints, listened to the interviews and then gave John quite a robust interview, where he was asked to justify his approaches. Guess that learned him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphreys needs public support to rip into a PM like this - he might come in for a heck of a lot of criticism if he went avant garde. We should all email him to give him the suppport to go to new heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynic Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Perhaps there's scope for a new variant on the Milgram experiment. Imagine if brown were the seemingly hapless subject wired up to the electric seat, the authority figure then plays the Humphries/Brown interview and then the 'participants' choose a voltage. My guess is the problems for participants would shift from those of conscience to frustration that the range of selectable voltages was too limiting.

mikey808 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Too right, the interview was fantastic. I immediately emailed the Today programme to thank them for Humpries good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
