He’s ten times the broadcaster that fucking Sarah Brett is. Her earnest-social-worker voice makes me want to lop off my own ears and burn every radio in the land.

To think proper broadcasters like Simon Mayo and even Richard Bacon once had the afternoon slot. Unlistenable shit with unlikeable presenters.

Still, minorities and split-arse. The modern BBC.

The worst broadcasters on 5 live are Phil Williams, Nikki Campbell and Chris Warburton. All white males. Richard Bacon was shite too. In fact 5 live has pretty much always been shite aside from its live sports coverage.

Also see talkSPORT - how many minorities do they employ? Because wow, without any real or perceived quotas, they are equally shite.

I mean seriously, if you guys are pining for the 'halcyon' days of Simon Mayo, then you need to investigate some of the alternative listening options available these days.

Phil Williams rivals Matt Stadlen as the dullest man on the radio.

Rhod Sharp still the Five Live don. One of the few shows I'd listen to on that station now.

There's been a parade of numbnuts doing the afternoons on 5live starting with Sybil Ruscoe. Bacon has been one of the better ones, Nihal is probably the worst. PC driven nonsense.

Williams is harmless and Partridge lite. They've got Brett doing 10.30pm this week and have come up with the genius idea of pairing her up with some unknown co-presenters. Dreadful.

Brett claims to have come from Leicester yet she has spent all her career before 5 Live in Mickland.

He does have a high opinion of himself I'll say that. Quite how enjoying the sound of ones own voice equates to talent is beyond me. Broadcast media is desperate for oddball narcissists to shift product. Chris Evans being the most obvious example. Most of the time cunts like Baker lack any sense of self-awareness regarding how cuntish they are. They surround themselves with similar types of cunt, all feeding-off each others own desperate insecurities and need to be loved.

The lack of self-awareness these days is remarkable.

Lest we forget, staunch leftie Baker sent his youngest daughter to private school, and brags endlessly about his ultra-middle class lifestyle and house on Blackheath.

There is “no off position on the genius switch”, nor is there one on his slide into self-parody.

A few folk seem to have picked up that he only replies to luvies, celebrities or producer types as well. I know he can't acknowledge every single person who puts their mug holding up a pint back, but at least an acknowledgment now and again would show he still has his 'working-class' roots.

I thought he said he was off to America too in a few years, er a few years ago he said that.
