Hi Alister. My wife and I are very keen listeners to ” Talking Politics ” you and Rory are great listen to. However we would prefer it if you choose a better word from the English language then ‘Piss off’ you use it a lot and its not becoming of a man so intelligent and so a good socialist as you. Wish you were back in politics today for the Labour and get rid of this government.
