****.
I met John Humphrys at a conference I was running nearly a decade ago. He came across as a good guy but he was being paid to be there.
He seems to have upset some snowflakes along the way from both ends of the political spectrum. I think he will be missed by most.
Thought he was Welsh?Give over with your snowflake bollocks, Andrew Neil upset a lot of folk as well, didn't stop him from being a right wing arsehole.
I've met them both of them when I did some work for what was the DTI, they were right wing whores, both of them.
The state of our politics is not just down to our politicians but those who were supposed to hold them to account.
Humphries was a shouty little home counties Tory, it informed everything he did, good riddance.

Have you got the right Humphrys mate?
I take your point that he’s a Tory but we’d have very few broadcasters if we ruled out everyone who had ever voted. I haven’t noticed the bias you accuse him off but I’m not saying that isn’t the case.
Btw I too have worked with the DTI and it was full of right wing leaning people parachuted in from industry. That included some of Tony Bkair’s Mates.
Let's agree to disagree on Humphries, but you're dead right about the various trade departments, I've had the misfortune of working with the likes of Mandelson, Digby Jones, Cable and Liam Fox to name but a few scumbags.
The recollection still makes my skin crawl, they were, in their different ways, either as dumb as a doorknob about trade or snidey little fuckers, or both.
