A big TV and radio star in the early 80s, but always a bit of a pillock. He famously refused to play Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “Relax” on the Radio 1 breakfast show, denouncing it as “obscene”, so it should come as no surprise that, thirty years later, he’d be a very vocal supporter of UKIP. But even so. When he brought out, then hastily had to withdraw, the buttock-clenchingly inappropriate “UKIP Calypso”, sung in a cod Jamaican accent, what on earth was he thinking? He’s an intelligent man, he must have known the offence it would cause. But maybe he thought “Well, Dreadlock Holiday was a huge hit when I first went to Radio 1. Is it really any worse than that?”
I keep thinking about Mike Read.
