McDog has declared war on journos. Sent his Praetorian guard, the Serious Crimes Squad, in to pick up the hack who blew the lid on the truth about a stupendous miscarriage of justice and an unsolved crime in which two little old ladies were cut to pieces while a poorly drug addict of limited intellect was put to jail when quite obviously he couldn't and didn't do it. According to the actions of the Master, writing about such outrages is more outrageous than the outrage.

CALLER: There's tremendous pressures on bus drivers. Time pressure. People pressure. The fella on the radio. Wipers not working. Brakes not working. The depot manager gave me grief when I complained. All he wanted was a clean sheet. One day I worked without a break for five [count 'em, FIVE] hours. There were 80 people waiting when I got there. I gave the job up.
14:13
CALLER: He had a lot of stress in his face. 

(At least it wasn't a bus in his face.)
14:32
CALLER: The Gardai were standing a mile away with a radar gun.  Six cars crashed. Said they couldn't come because they were assigned to radar gun duties.

Somehow, while the sports reporter was commenting on the racist goings on (white on white racism. Prods v Caths) at a soccer match in Scotland, his voice over was drowned out by the sounds of the crowds mixed in. Dreadful shite. Get off the mixer. Let me do it. There's stuff on Youtube shot with camera phones that's not that poorly produced.
22:11Liverpool won tonight 2-1 against the Barcelona, in the Nou Camp. Classy stuff from the Scally captain. Nearly as good as I was.
