I can't give a reasonable explanation of why I hate him, but I can almost guarantee that every. single. time. I listen to or watch his programme, he will say something that makes me rage, cringe or despair and wonder why he still has this job. For example, I listened to his radio show yesterday for the first time in a wee while and do you know what his topic was?
If a company closes down (like the Honda factory in Swindon) or has mass redundancies, should the people who voted to leave Europe in the Brexit referendum be the first to lose their jobs, and should they put their hand up and volunteer to give up their jobs in favour of their colleagues who voted remain.
Really??? How are they going to enforce this? How will they know which of their staff voted leave, and which voted remain? Ridiculous.
Several years ago I remember he did a topic on the price of fuel and he asked listeners 'with fuel getting so expensive what will you do with your cars?' And the examples he gave were stupid things like 'will you use it to store garden tools, or turn it into a greenhouse' etc. I'm sure he was doing it in a tongue-in-cheek fashion but come on. It was a serious matter which affects everyone, and is hitting a lot of poorly-paid people really hard, so I think it was in questionable taste for him to be so flippant about it.
And I feel like quite often, he isn't actually listening when his callers are speaking, because he often will ask them a question which they've already given the answer to.
He's just annoying. Wish C5 could bring back Matthew Wright for the TV show.
