Well, I listen - all day every day!

In fact, if I'm on this computer I'm listening to a cheap as chips Acoustic
Solutions DAB radio and loving it - usually CFM!!

Not surprising to see the Asian stuff dying on its feet, though - how
****ing patronising is that? Wot next - Radio Swarthy Light-Fingered Eastern
European Gyppo..??

Joe Ordinaire has no clue how much money is being hosed down the tubes
pandering to 'ethnicity' in this beleagured land and those 'comfy-plumps'
grinning clowns* on the local BBC news have the gall to tell us we owe the
food on our table to 'migrant workers'!

The concept of people paying realistic, industry-sustaining/ 'Brit
wage'-paying prices in the shops to start with doesn't enter their heads....

Add 'rolling great arse and huge, drooping belly-reducing food prices' to
that, will you?

Ta....

First thing I'm gonna do when I'm Prime Minister is reduce the licence fee to 50
pence.

That would be an increase since there's no licence fee for radio.

IIRC You don't currently need a license to listen to sound radio, so the
above would be a drastic expansion of State Control! :-)

Slainte,

You do understand that this all looks a great deal like paranoid
schizophrenia? Do seek help. Soon.
