When I first started tuning in I enjoyed his shows, now I just listen…..with growing incredulity!
I always admired his impressive vocabulary, of hearing about his liking for drugs, his knowledge of the Chiswick High Road, his support of Polish kitchen fitters and his understanding of how to disappoint your parents by being expelled from your expensive fee paying school.
It made him a sort of folk hero, a modern day hippy, it meant I didn't have to go to America in a time machine and hang around in Haight-Ashbury in 1967, I could actually listen to one every weekday on the wireless……..imagine my joy when he grew that scruffy beard, it was dishevelled perfection and completed that ‘Champagne Socialist, Devil May Care, Rebel Without a Tie’ Persona.
I have however noticed, and this is the reason for this missive, that since around the middle of June 2016 that he no longer talks of drugs, the LSE, Vauxhall Meriva’s or Polish kitchen fitters.
His world seems to be consumed by talk of ‘Farridge Garridge’, Brexit and the Trumper Across the Pond.
Oh how I long for the days when he would regale us with a whimsical anecdote about Mother Superior beating a boy with a ruler or measuring the inside leg of a ‘Minor Royal’, he also doesn't tell us as regularly as he used to exactly how old he is, he is too caught up in article 50 to remind us that he is 44.
Might I suggest that you change your tag line as he has taken ‘Leading Britains Coversation’ to the enth degree, his daily 20 minute intro is simply him having a conversation…..but only with himself.
Then when he does have to take a call his brain falls apart like wet cake and the shouty bit starts.
He has become so aggressive I can only assume that every morning before he goes on air he has something inserted into somewhere private.
As he moves towards the fade button to take the first call of the day, he now sounds like all the joy in his body was removed at birth, maybe it was ‘Farridge & Brexit’ from the upper 6th who grassed him up to the monks about having a Doobie round the back of the bike sheds………’cos he’s really got it in for them, and all conversations inevitably lead back to them.
Perhaps it's now time for him to seek an alternative career, like being a North Korean hairdresser, it seems it offers the opportunity for loads of laughs.
Unfortunately Brian now displays a level of incompetence not seen since Greece was allowed to have money and a cheque book or King Herod took up babysitting.
Is it not time that he now jumped into and joined his very own ‘box of trolls’ and was told politely by Global Radio to, in his words, 'Jog on’.
Kind regards

You know I'm growing to love you more and more each day don't you...
