I don't think a day has passed this week when I haven't shouted at the radio, or more to the point, the politicians and union leaders who were being interviewed. Every time there is an election in the pipeline, the current affairs programmes get these blighters on and interview them.
Not a single one of them sticks to answering the questions put to them, they never listen to what the interviewer has said or asked, and every single last one of them will lie through their teeth and try to convince all listeners that black is actually white.
How on earth can these people expect to get our votes and respect when they behave in such an impolite manner and treat us all with contempt. I will certainly not be voting for any of the major parties because they're all as bad as one another. If I could, I would sit them all on the 'naughty step' for a very long time and all sweets, treats and expenses would be withheld until they could demonstrate acceptable behaviours and manners.
When date of the election is announced, probably this week, the radio interviews will be increased, we will get mountains of waste paper (election notices) stuffed through the letterbox and then we will get the party political broadcasts on televesion. I can already feel the need to go into the kitchen, make another cup of tea and raid the biscuit tin!
It will be less expensive than throwing the radio through the window or putting something through the television set.
I don't think the "attitude" is confined soley to politicians, I frequently find myself shouting at the computer, just don't venture into the world of horse training forums!
ReplyDeleteI do also shout at the radio, but that's generally due to the dismal nature of Radio Fours afternoon plays; in one week we had two about Nazi's, gang warfare and a suicide. It doesn't make for happy paintings.
