He'll probably sue me for saying this - and it's based on a hunch rather than anything he said - but I always suspected that, maybe because he hadn't emerged from the ranks of BBC political correspondents, he might have been just a teensy-weensy bit, well, right-wing? A letter from Sue, Grabbitt & Runne will no doubt be dispatched within the hour, ordering me to desist from spreading malicious and totally unfounded rumours, and stating that their client has always been a keen Labour activist, committed to the concept of equality for everyone who doesn't work in the media.Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-60943099301704296752011-11-18T19:12:15.268+00:002011-11-18T19:12:15.268+00:00This seemed so unlikely, TV Schedule Monitor, that...This seemed so unlikely, TV Schedule Monitor, that I checked online only to discover that your facts are - well, facts. In case anyone should miss it, the programme is called "UK Border Force" (I expect that's because they gave up patrolling our borders many years ago to save money so they could spend it on the hordes of immigrants flooding into the country... or something).<br /><br />it's heartening to hear that - despite his hatred of greedy rich people - Nighy isn't against picking up money for old rope by doing vloice-overs for a broadcaster largely owned by a greedy, rich person hated by all those wankers desecrating the area around St. Paul's. No doubt the dosh will come in handy for a few treats to sustain him through those long winter nights sleeping in a freezing tent.Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-65181132311922613392011-11-18T15:07:46.151+00:002011-11-18T15:07:46.151+00:00For those seeking Bill Nighy he is currently provi...For those seeking Bill Nighy he is currently providing the voice-over on "UK Border Patrol" on Pick Channel [formerly "Sky 3"] every week night at 7pm.

Plus the fact that Cold Turkey didn't get to No 1. John Major thought that Nick Ross, by virtue of fronting " Spot the Blagger Watch" on TV was just the chap to be a Crime Tsar. Bono? Enough said. Then there's Bob Gandolf, whose heartfelt "give me your f****** money and eventually we'll get it back in African kleptocrat London property portfolio investment, save for the tax" spoke to a nation in pain. And Sting suddenly and sadly gives up noodling on the bass guitar to become an expert on US extradition law. Thank goodness for luvvies to illuminate the true path.<br /><br />But you overlook Bill's credentials. He was, after all, in the same film as Hugh Blair in "Lurve Actually" and might well have picked up a tip or two about politics and all that cool stuff where you can make up your own script.<br /><br />So, not surprising that Bill Nighyex-KCSnoreply@blogger.com
