Next time our resident Talk Radio fan puts Me Graham's views forward, that have been pumped into his head like...well like raw sewage into a river, remember!

Mike Graham says you can grow concrete...

Watch this. Absolutely priceless

So you plant trees! Then cut them down! Then make things from them!

Who do these people think they are coming over here and making things, shocking I tell you...

On my point about the NHS. He questions why the NHS are failing so many patients (including myself on 3 occasions), he questions why the NHS waste money and why they aren't doing their jobs properly. As opposed to the BBC who won't have a word said against the holy institution that is the NHS. Oh the saintly NHS.

I donated money to a lady who had to crowdfund during the first lockdown because the NHS stopped her cancer treatment and she would have died if she had not got the private care she had to raise the money for. I cannot imagine the distress that poor lady would have been in. Absolute disgrace.

The NHS left her to die.

The NHS is a pile of shit and needs to be questioned and challenged to improve. Not sure i see anything far right about discussing this on a radio show tbh?

The NHS have helped me and my family countless times. They saved the life of a close friend once. They also took fantastic care of a loved one during their final days.

Far right or far left is irrelevant.

Based on my experience they are worth every penny….and more.

Is being far left just as obnoxious and dangerous as being far right?

I'm neither, I'm not political. I've said before that every single one of them is bent and they don't represent me.

I'm not racist or homophobic. I must admit to not being able to get my head around the whole they/them thing.

I've got to say though that that Mike Graham thing was quite bizarre. He was all ready to disagree with the guest before he spoke and made himself look a bit of a t**t.

I can’t claim to listen to Talk Radio very often, but when I have the presenters seem to be undeniably right wing. However, they do allow the Labour Party equal air time to push their case and they do give the Tories a good bashing too. It’s not my station of choice though. 6 music is more for me.

Not sure they are right wing. To me, they simply ask the questions that MSM don't and won't ask. They ask for accountability from people and organizations such as the NHS for example, who the MSM seem to think can do no wrong.

If people and organizations cannot be criticised and discussed then how are they going to improve?

I don't get this right wing / left wing stuff.

People who are paid to do a job properly should be doing it. End of. Those that don't need to be asked why, and Talkradio have the presenters that do this.

No room for sentiment and emotionality. Accountability needs to be for everyone. No matter who they are or who they work for.

If the BBC were believed, then everyone who doesn't wear a mask or doesn't want the vaccine is a covid denier or an anti vaxxer, when in actual fact for many people this is so far removed from the actual truth. These people are patronised and belittled in a subtle way where on Talkradio they say that people can wear a mask or not or have the vaccine or not and they don't care either way. Which is the right way of thinking. We don't live in a dictatorship last time i checked.

Mike Graham is a WUM for much of the time, albeit an entertaining one. I don’t listen to him much now as he seems to have crawled up his own arse a little too far. He was much better as part of ‘the two Mikes’ with his stooge Mike Parry (who is useless as a presenter on his own).
Graham is an entertaining tit. I’m really not sure what the OP was trying to prove.

Mash Report I’ll give you. HIGNFY I’d dispute because they tear apart whoever is in Government. They used to give Gordon Brown a really rough ride when he was PM. Question Time is an odd one because I often see both sides claiming bias against the other. Hasn’t Farage appeared on there about 40 times though? GMB I don’t watch so I’ll take your word for it.

It's an interesting business model, Mike Graham's.

Build audience share by regularly debasing yourself by pandering to the  ignorant prejudices of a small % of the population. And when you make a real prick of yourself by saying concrete grows like trees, double down on it instead of admitting you made a mistake.

'fastest growing radio station in the world' - based on what exactly?

Despite Rupert Murdoch billions it has an audience share of 0.2% - Radio Sheffield is 6%! LBC is 2.7% and Radio 5 Live is 3.5%.

It's a station set up by a right wing nutter, staffed by right wing nutters telling a small clique of other right wing nutters what they want to hear and who they should hate. Its as relevant as Panjab Radio. Enjoy.
