Today we were talking (yet again) about Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Cabinet reshuffle. A listener phoned in to tell me how clever he had been, as a Conservative, to vote for Corbyn in the Labour leadership election. I lost my rag a little and told him he was being pathetic. It went downhill from there. In the end he was so flabberghasted that I had taken him on that he went silent and hung up. Not sure he’ll be calling in again, or even listening again. I’m afraid I have absolutely no regrets. The bloke was being a prat and deserved it.
I don’t take callers on like that very often, but sometimes you just have to say what you are thinking and maybe take the consequences. I think the key is to pick your moments appropriately.
