You’ll be ace at this, but good luck anyway and hope you enjoy it and decide to do lots more broadcasting, preferably on TV and preferably as as a New Labourite leaning to the left!!! And please don’t follow Iain Daie’s path and give up the day blog.
NewLabore? Riveting! Not only that but the wrong claret and blue. Show your true colours!
You look absolutely knackered. Best of luck with the show.
“Trying to persuade you for seven years”….Well I’ve ben trying for two to get to donate a signed copy of your books for my many events, only five to go then.
Excellent programme on LBC Alastair. Won’t bore you with my Son’s and my own issues but I am afraid that the NHS really misses the target especially between the teenage and adult years.
@ Quinney – At the risk of sounding rude, why don’t you just buy one?
Because I spend most of my spare cash representing and subsidising the Labour party where live. The general election cost me a pair of shoes last year.
Only just seen your reply Quinney. Sorry for my flippant remark.
“the general election cost me a pair of shoes last year”
OMG isn’t that just more than a little above dedication? Nevertheless I appauld your selflessness.
