I don't know O'Brien personally (it seems you do) but I listen to his show and think it's probably the best programme on talk radio. He now has over 1.3 million listeners, which is probably why the station bosses spend time with him. He's also written two excellent books, which show him to be anything but arrogant. You should read them and have your eyes opened.

Ramming in a pair of matchsticks would have the same effect. I’m not keen on either.

I don't need to know someone who's on the radio 5 times a week personally. He's a hate-filled shock jock, and the fact that Tice and Nawaz approached to shake his hand and he told them to **** off is in character. No disrespect to you, Strolls, but if I had his books, I'd hang them on string next to the lavatory.

If you think he's a hate-filled shock jock you plainly haven't listened to him enough, or perhaps at all.

I most definitely have, particularly in the days when radio stations were restricted and there was no choice. He snarled and sneered at any Brexiteer that called in, and did Gotcha interviews until only sycophants like Khan agreed to come on his show.
