I couldn't agree more with you. I have listened to Radio 5 for many years now but it has gradually got worse over the years. Peter Allen was excellent and the only one worth listening to now is Nicky Campbell in the morning. As for the Arthanayke fella, I really can't stand him for the reasons set out throughout the thread. I thought these people needed to be politically unbiased whilst on air? He positively sneers at anything to do with anything right of centre.
