Well done BBC
Today, at last, on the Jeremy Vine show, I was allowed to explain how the government should deal with Northern Rock, and set about getting our money back from the ailing mortgage bank. I was also allowed to debate why nationalisation would be too expensive and too risky for taxpayers with Vince Cable.
I trust also it was good radio for them. It was certainly more balanced and more lively than the Today programme’s fawning interviews with the Lib Dems, with no-one allowed to challenge their nostra.
John Redwood has been the Member of Parliament for Wokingham since 1987. First attending Kent College, Canterbury, he graduated from Magdalen College...
What sort of nationalism? If you mean the British nationalism of Gordon Brown and David Cameron then I quite agree - it’s crippling the poor put upon English taxpayer.
Heard it, liked it, well done. It is a rare treat to get common sense on the Beeb.
