Brave New Radio

25/10/2025

So, as I understand it, GB News is bad, Fox is evil and all commercial radio stations in Great Britain only play the same 300 songs over and over, and community radio has failed except for one and that's a toss up between Angel Vintage and Alfred who somehow are really doing very well (lets not go from B to Z, the truth might hurt).

However we can remember the glory day's of commercial radio of old! As a special kindness to most free radio fans (anoraks of the wavelength kind) we will begin this new series with a broadcast where most of these fine rose tinted folk were young, possibly very young, or even not born. Certainly the book is before all our time I suspect, however like Eric Blair's 1984 the visionary nature of this tale is quite astonishing.

Look at the huge damage Fox News has done to America. People over there actually believe the garbage they broadcast. We don't need a Farage mouthpiece UK clone.

There has been no damage caused to America by Fox news

Personally it is my speedial bookmark of what is really going on in the world and how lucky we are to have a real President over there looking after our interests over here

The poison is the MSNBC CNN and the radical left wing lunatics who should have their licences revoked

Excellent!

And they say that satire is dead, well done James. Cue Hagger to agree with you without realising that such things go straight over his head

He made it to 80. It's a shame but drink will do for you

Is Anybody There?
My Official Memoirs - Book launch 8th December 2018

Publishing Note:

"Tom Edwards was a successful broadcaster, DJ and TV presenter. A man
respected by his friends and critics. But it all ended terribly for him.
These memoirs allow Tom to tell for the first time how his good and bad
experiences led him to find solace in a bottle; and led to his downfall.
Now Tom lives quietly in the village of Heckington, coping daily with the
consequences of his actions. He hopes that people that read this book will
learn from his mistakes."

I have for years wanted to write this book, but writing is has not been easy. Many times through many nights until dawn I would put pen to paper and almost threw the towel in.

I write in detail about some terrible things that have haunted me to this day. I called the publisher airing my worries and he said "Don't hold anything back Tom. It's your memoirs and if you do you will regret it.”

I haven't held anything back!

It’s not all doom and gloom though. I do some crazy name dropping and in some chapters I felt like Jackie Collins when writing about some moments in my long life.

Writing about one’s life does take over your life. I’m glad its all done and dusted, It’s been worth it but never again!

My book is a turbulent read but I hope you enjoy it and you can join me on a journey that took me here, there and just about everywhere.

The official launch of my book is on 8th December 2018 at Birmingham University. I hope you enjoy it.

It's been suggested elsewhere that Rob Chapman's selling the sixties book might be worth paying more than a £10 for. It's probably not. Rob wrote it for a university project. It's interesting enough but it's probably not the anorak book of insight and ripping yarns you might be expecting. Rob turned from being quite Caroline Cynical to then being much back in the Church of Chelsea camp now. I am not disparaging the book or discouraging it's purchase but rather like a Rustling or a Ray Clark book or any book really try and read it as inexpensively as you can!

Mr. Trump has thrown down the gauntlet to the BBC, but in America, on the Fox channels, not a word about it today.

In Britain all hell broke lose, for a while, but then his deadline is Friday, not today.

Yesterday I posted a motherload on my Facebook page calling for the destruction of the BBC and everything else that the Crown endorsed - including Peter Moore, that is Malcolm Smith.

So what was the result of that?

Silence.

The days of the Old Guard pirates yelling and screaming are over. They are dying off physically and their stupidity is going with them to the grave.

I am sure they will be back.

Waves of stupidity wash up every ten years or so.

I thought I would post this so that the Hate-Hagger crowd on the two daft comment boards run by Garry and Dave can be ikicked awake to start yelling and screaming again about Hate-Hagger, before they too die off in oblivion and their rust bucket project is towed to the scrap yard.

Now you know I am still on the job.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
