There are two reasons. The first is that, as the Guardian has reported, at least £23 billion has now been lent by the UK government to banks facing meltdown as a result of the UK sub-prime crisis. At least £18 billion of this has gone to Northern Rock and that bank does itself admit it might need £25 billion before the situation is resolved. The number is so big I have been asked to comment what it might mean. The second request was for comment on the absurd article written by my Hecklers foe, Tim Congdon on this issue in the FT a day or two ago. [...] [...] I’ve been asked by a couple of people to do an update on Northern Rock. There are two reasons.

As for Mr Cole, perma-tan and silly haircut still in place. And a nauseating ability to drop his conversations with Princess Diana into conversation every other sentence.

I thought you came across well in an interesting debate and won the moral argument hands down. Michael Cole was as odious as ever. Does he still have the ridiculous hairstyle? The programme doesn't seem to be available on Listen Again on the R4 website. Well done Richard! I thought you came across well in an interesting debate and won the moral argument hands down.
