can you tell us why you seem to feature callers of a particular political persuasion?
do they? I thought they had nutters from all sides?
or are most people in the country bigots?
quite possibly
or do only bigots phone in?
no only crazy folk get through. A collegauge of mine once called in as a genuine subject expert on one of his topics; the researchers soon sussed him out as having a balanced and moderate opinion though
or does it make better radio, airing extreme views?
of course it does, listening to a small group of people all generally agreeing and discussing topics in a rational manner is pretty dull radio. I suggest radio 4 if thats what your are looking for.
(after the caller today saying that we shouldn’t have free schooling). can’t get 6music at work….
interestingly you could probably get Mrs Poly to call in with equally strong view on why you should not have private schools… …she’s normally pretty calm and rational but on that one issue she can get wound up.
