Answers too taxing for stupid audiences

MY CHAMPAGNE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

- VIRGINIA BLACKBURN

FOOLISHLY, I still haven’t entirely switched off the Radio 4 habit. Some part of me must be hankering back to my youth, when Radio 4 maintained an independent news agenda, intelligent reporting and produced quiz shows that were actually funny. Sadly, all that is very long gone and these days I usually favour the competition.

But still the odd blast of Radio 4 gets through and makes me want to hurl the radio at the wall.

It happened again at the weekend when I idiotically tuned into Any Questions? and the subject turned to the number of wealthy people currently leaving the UK on the back of Labour’s spiteful, class envy-driven taxation agenda.
