Jeremy Cu, er, Hunt

Hunt and the Conservatives will claim that this is not Austerity 2.0, but they can only do that if the interviewers forget to mention the frightening reality that inflation is running out of control. Businesses will be buying products for 2023 now at prices significantly higher than consumers are currently paying, so if those businesses are to survive, then those costs can only be passed on to the consumer next year, all at a time when Hunt’s spending cuts and tax rises are starting to bite.
 
The sad thing is all he needs to do is the square root of fuck all else to now look competent

Miriam Margolyse just dropped the ‘F-Bomb’ on Radio 4 in relation to Jeremy Hunt. Man seems to have an uncanny ability to get people to swear on air.

She’s become joke, and not a very funny one imho; just seems to make a living now out of turning up for media interviews and swearing and saying “outrageous things”.

fucking 12 years of them fucking us all over and his answer today is raise taxes and cut spending - why do people fall for their con-trick? The country is in a state - look at how long we have had a Tory Govt since say WW2 and ask yourself why has it come to this? Answer - the Conservative Party

She’s 81 so I’ll cut her some slack. It came at the end of the interview as she was changing seats, so she probably never caught the warning that they were still on air. I love the way the British media, particularly Radio 4, still carries on as if nobody in the country swears and that everyone is proper and genteel: ‘have another slice of cake, Vicar’.

Got asked a while back why the Irish hated the English so much to fight for independence and my reply was it's not the English we hate, it's the Tories.

Hunt is now in charge. He’s the Prime Minister, not Truss. No one voted for this, not the country, the Tory membership or even the Tory M.P’s!

He’s certainly in charge of the coffers. The amusing thing now is that the rest of the Cabinet, who don’t really like him and had no say in his appointment, will have to dance to his tune.

As for everything else, I’m not sure anyone/anything is in charge, be it Truss, the plotters, or the markets.

I don’t honestly think the listening experience would be improved in a world where people were swearing freely and at will on air though. The net effect would be speakers taking even longer to make their point if their sentences were peppered with expletives.
Each to their own of course, but personally I quite like the way Radio 4 carries on, in its own unique way.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Radio 4 and all it’s idiosyncrasies, just that it tickles me when someone does swear as you can sense the reverberations rippling through the presenters in the studio and every link they then make.
