On West Midlands radio.

Fun 5 minutes etc.

But then there’s always that thing about local radio, isn’t there? The call in before me was David in Walsall with his idea about what to do with Breivik.

Give him some morphine, cut off a digit. Let him wake up, feel what you’ve done, more morphone, another digit. Over the months cut him down to a torso and head and then leave him be for a few decades to ponder on what he’d done.

This would be humane as it wouldn’t in fact be capital punishment.

There is a reason why Mum emigrated from the West Midlands.

So it turns out that fracking for shale gas really is more effective at making the earth move than all the onanism of the enviros over windmills. We should thus get on with drilling and stop building the bird-choppers.
