Very unprofessional to do that on air, would have been out of order to speak like that off air too. The mask slipped quite a bit there I thought.
As for the breaking news he was attempting to break on air.....it wasn't even true!”
It was confusing, as I assumed there must be major disturbances breaking out all across America, going by what George said.
His admonishment of his Producer reminded me of Danny Baker's outburst at his Producer on 5Live 6-0-6 many years ago.
But it didn't bother me as these things happen more than you'd think on every station, it just doesn't always reach the air.
I thought it was an excellent show from George on the Chilcot Report, apart from I tuned out whilst he spoke to that weasel holed up in the Embassy, as I have no wish to hear his views on anything. The rest of it was very good. Hopefully GG will be invited onto LBC to replace Andrew Pierce on Friday evening if he's removed from TR.
