Iconic maverick ex-Beeb & Commercial Radio-TV & Kids’-shows, bold Brit-broadcaster Tommy Boyd.
“ The news media in the UK doesn’t serve the public very well. Most journalists are complete tossers and adjust the stories to make them more sensational than they really are. I said this while on air on LBC, I co-hosted, [with Murdoch-victim Anne Diamond] the Breakfast Show which, at the time, was owned by ITN. One of the executives heard this while he was shaving and told me that News was a commodity and I should not be saying these things on-air. My contract wasn’t renewed strictly for those reasons but I had said more objectionable things on air in addition to that. ”
‘Rock On Tommy’ U can cum back on our show anytime at all y’all. |

I worked with Tommy on Talk Radio; excellent broadcaster, good guy.
Never make the mistake of assuming false claims are inspired by malice, greed or revenge. Many are genuine mistakes or assumptions. Memory plays strange tricks. Many accusers are totally convinced their memories are accurate and in most cases they are 90% true; it's the 10% assumptions or inflation that colours the experience after years.
A peck on the cheek can easily become a tongue down the throat with the passage of time and the assistance of the media. |

Always thought Tommy Boyd was a decent bloke myself.....his radio shows are often 'fun poking' at over serious do gooders, but also erudite and searching enough to do the same to people he has interviewed who need questions asking.......in general, he seems to me to be an OK bloke.
I've never met Tommy Boyd, no, in the same way I never met JS, but how many of you have met JK either? The cyber world is as warped as TV and Radio land in terms of who knows who.....
PS no smoke without fire.....? OK, but you can see a magician program on telly about how they do 'magic'.....it is smoke and mirrors......so if we can't have the 'truth (fire) without a smoke trace' then we can have 'truth obscured by a magic illusion' .....deception, misdirection call it what you will, but what you see, isn't always what you get. |

watched an old The Only Way Is Essex (out or boredom or horror) where they had an 80s party and someone came as Jimmy Savile !    |
