Having briefed Today they asked me to do the programme at 8.35am today. I agreed.
And then a while later they rang to say they’d changed their minds. I presumed the story had been dropped, but no, they said they’d found someone else to comment.
To be fair, the BBC are forever behaving like shits when it comes to lining people up and then letting them down.
Out of interest: who did they get on?
An inanimate carbon rod?
What more proof do you need of the vast right-wing conspiracy at the heart of the BBC.
A Courageous State would give Ritchie his own channel. Maybe like BTN in V for Vendetta.
Was this the “Thought For The Day” slot?
Some tax accountant from Saffery Champness.
LMAO at how put out Murphy is. Honestly, he seems close to tears
It does occur he’s be a shoo-in for the weather forecast. He’s a natural successor to Michael Fish.
@Steve:
“Maybe like BTN in V for Vendetta.”.
Let me assure you that Ritchie is no Lewis Prothero. He has neither the passion, belief, guile, intelligence or balls of Lewis Prothero.
Ritchie is just a dreadful little Marxist apparatchik funded by the taxman’s main union. More like Gr

Ritchie is just a dreadful little Marxist apparatchik funded by the taxman’s main union. More like Grima Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings without the final redemption.
He’s not one to blow his own trumpet, is he?
Apparently he ‘helped the civil society demand for reform of tax havens for a decade and has also co written the most used book on tax havens in universities’

Feel the entitlement.
“Some tax accountant from Saffery Champness”
You mean soembody who might actually know what they’re talking about.
They had a lady from UKUncut who was helpful. She said that we don’t want a fuzzy tax system.. everyone should know the rules and stick to them.
That’s a bit of a blow to the ‘morality’ basis of taxation, then.
Much more of this and poor Mr. Murphy could become an MRA.
John Galt – he’s a low rent Wesley Mouch perhaps?
But they do that all the time. It’s practically how the Today programme works.
I mean he should be glad they didn’t phone him when he was in the car park to drop him, which I have known to be done.
And yes, it is a shitty thing to do, but it doesn’t stop people coming back for more, because it;s the Today programme. They can pretty much do what they want.
Murph’s only so disappointed because he thought it was called the Toady programme.
If he is not good enough for the today programme mayhap he could go see Brian Ingliss with a view to getting on “All our Yesterdays” instead.
Yes, he should definitely go see Brian Ingliss.
Mr Eugenides “An inanimate carbon rod?”
Maybe HIGNFY’s tub of lard is still in a props department cupboard somewhere?
Still laughing
