So I write a letter to my MP... - Page 9

Oh, and be aware that if you go down that formal complaint route, it'll effectively kill press coverage while it's being dealt with. It is a quasi-legal process, and there's a detailed procedure for what can and can't be done or said while it's in hand. So consider whether you want to formally poop-stir like that, or just use the media route.

Well it should be on the radio Newcastle iPlayer, I will be checking it out when I get home. Apparently he was on between 8:30 and 8:40 this morning.

oh good god. you want a chat with the well-informed people of http://www.backlash-uk.org.uk/ ASAP, i think

well you oppose his views, so you must be a neo nazi, child pornogophering, muslim fundemantalist.

Its all obvious really!

Just so long as you don't sink to his level, he should be able to dig his own grave if he suggests things like that.

Listening to the play again and there is nothing about you Gaz from 8:30 - 8:40am Will have a listen to the 8am news bit and see if there is anything on there.

G4Z · 03-07-2008, 03:42 PM

Cheers for looking mate.

Just been told by my mate that it might have been between 20 past and half past 8 when he was on.

**directhex** · 03-07-2008, 03:43 PM

the listen again UI is a bloody pain though, for this kind of thing

pollaxe · 03-07-2008, 03:45 PM

It certainly sounds like he's digging a deeper hole for himself, the silly arse.

Grey M@a · 03-07-2008, 03:48 PM

Anyone having issues with iPlayer listen again radio shows that you listen to 20 mins worth of audio then it kicks off saying it cant connect to the media anymore :/ Does this on real alternative and real player. Will have a listen to the show when I get in from 8 - 8:40 and see if anything is said.

I'll lend him my JCB...

Shovels don't normally suffice.

This guy is not digging himself a hole though, he's loading the strip with explosives and blowing himself into a crater a mile deep.

Someone should update this page

I would, but I don't know how to make a new sub section...

pollaxe · 03-07-2008, 04:08 PM

Apparently, he smokes nones....

It certainly is. A time slider would be better. I think it's important that G4Z actually gets the audio along with a script of exactly what was said before any further action. Then it would be wise to sit back and digest it before any continuation because he is now "emotionally" involved (as are we to some extent) and that can lead to errors of judgement due to hastiness. This is potentially serious so best to get the facts before continuing.

I'm currently listening from 8.00am onwards - nothing from 8.00 - 8.05. First mention of talking to Clelland is 1hr 37min 30secs into the show. At 1hr 48 mins 25secs the discussion starts and Mr Clelland is on the line at 1.49:15 into the show - 8.19 am.

Listening now.

Edit: Interview with Clelland ends 1.53:20 into the programme after a Lib Dem agrees with Clelland.

G4Z · 03-07-2008, 04:49 PM

Thanks for that Iranu, I will check it out as soon as I get home.

Your advise is sound and I would not have went into a radio interview blind. As you say I am invested in this a bit now, I need to keep some distance and make sure I keep the focus on the issues rather than how much of a twat Clelland is.

I'll remove the quote if you want me to G4Z
