Watching The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 for about five minutes this morning it made me realise what horrendous memories people have. It also showed me what a complete arsehole Andrew Collins is, but it doesn't surprise me, he was a middle-classed smug conservative twat when he went to Weston Favel Upper school and performed in his band The Absolute Heroes.
As you can guess one was the guest on the other and Collins, with his square jaw and hollow eyes, was quick to have a go at David Blunkett, the current Home Secretary, suggesting that we should do everything in our power to see the man out of a job. In fact the program - The Wright Stuff - is a very pro-Tory kind of show. I've tuned in a number of times only to switch over quickly because I've found the 'holier-than-thou' attitude of Matthew Wright to be offensive and smug. He seems to love surrounding himself with a host of sycophants and people with similar fascistic tendencies, so I shouldn't be suprirsed that I find the program quite offensive.
In fact, in the immediate wake of Collins' Blunkett mention there was a flurry of anti-Blair and Labour sentiment peddled out. 1996 is only 8 years ago, you know. 8 short years is all you have to go back to remind yourself of what this country was like before Labour came along. If you really think we're worse off now than we were after 18 years of Tory rule then you really are a twat of infinitessimal proportions. Sure Blair is a bit of a wet and some of his ministers are nothing more than yes men, but they aren't Michael Howard, or IDS or Bill Vague or John Major or Maggie bloody Thatcher milk snatcher!
Programs like The Wright Stuff should not be allowed to be areas of political bias or opinion - especially not from the presenters. It claims to want to discuss issues of importance, yet allows itself to be a platform for Wright's own political bias. Perhaps he should leave the country, he's basically just an offensive little twit.
