She wasn’t wrong though was she.

I listened to it again and ‘****tard’ is a bit harsh. She doesn’t like Labour because they’d put us back into the EU and they’re ‘funded by the unions’ and most of the people on strike earn more than she does through her pension. That’s all she really managed to say before Purkiss had her down as a Daily Mail reading bigot. The caller may well not be of a high enough intelligence for the likes of Purkiss but to rant over her like that and shut her down wasn’t particularly classy. If there was a suspicion that the caller was a ****tard surely it would’ve been better to give her the floor to remove all reasonable doubt? Instead Purkiss removed any doubt about what she is.

As you rightly stated, the caller quoted headlines and straight from the Mail and spoke like a complete ****tard……so let’s call her out for what she is…..and the gorgeous Marina did it with style.
Beautiful, intelligent and witty……..the perfect lady :emoticon-0115-inlov

If you quote headlines straight from certain papers then I’d hazard a guess at her reading material.
Good on Marina…..dealt with an obvious ****tard with wit and glamour

You may be a natural O'Brien listener. He abuses people who don't agree with his political views too, then looks a **** when he gets stuff like Carl Beech wrong.

Nah can’t stand O’Brien………

I’m guessing you are more of an Anne Widdicombe sort of man ?……and a Sun reader ?

I'm relieved to hear it. Widdi has her place, but I'm not a great fan. The only time I've ever read the Sun, was as a young man on the Tube, my eyes were drawn at times to page 3 of the newspaper of the bloke sitting next to me.

Which things that the caller quoted are wrong? Fears that Labour would take us into the EU? That Labour is funded by the unions? Or that the strikers earn twice she does through her pension?

She stated that Labour would take us “straight back in to the EU”….when it’s clearly been stated they wouldn’t.

Widdicombes place is back in the 1600’s when us serfs doffed our caps to our lords and masters..

O'Brien's show is the best thing on talk radio. You should try listening to it.

Better still, give him a call and explain how wrong he was about Brexit.

He's a shock jock, that likes ambushing his guests, which is why no one goes on his show and he has to talk to himself and some fawning fans
