I'd honestly never heard of this other one until you mentioned him. Quite a good double act and Ash is one of our own, gets quite a few loons phoning in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other one I've heard is Mariella Frostrup. She's decent enough but doesn't tempt me away from Beeb radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You only have to look across the pond at Fox News, to see what Murdoch unleashed is capable of. Harder for him to openly espouse such evil right wing ideology here. But I’m sure he’s working on it. Scum is being too kind to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 People that buy the sun or use it online are absolute filth. Nobody can be ignorant of what a bullying nasty little piece of shit it is, nobody can buy it for the horse racing results to the tv page or any of that shit. If you engage with The Sun, you’re just a scumbag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Does sometimes seem to be an unofficial contest going on between the Sun and the Heil to see who can scrape that extra veneer from the bottom of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its harsh to call everykne that buys one a scumbag although i agree the owner and everything he represents is pure and utter scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those, the ones that I know well enough to call friends, none of them read the Sun. If they did, they wouldn’t be close friends, they’d be Sun reading tools. Do you think its consistent that you think the owner and his paper are pure and utter scum, but calling the people that fund him and buy the paper the same name, is a bit harsh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
