Hmm. Heather, those were just a couple of lefty commentators having a huddle. That's what people say about Trish all the time. They say, look at that lefty. They say that about me too, actually. If you Google me, you type in Heather du Plessis-Ellen, it autofills with strong left-wing bias. Heather, who are these two idiots? Heather, this huddle just shows women are all about themselves and not the country as a whole. Heather, these women are unbelievable. I'll have to turn the radio down. I can't stand their voices anymore, Thelma. Heather, you were part of the agenda against Luxon that you yourself rail against, yet here you are every day saying he's out. Pay equity was an unaffordable labour bribe, well, I agree with that. Anyway, I said to you, the unaffordable bit, it was nonsense. I'm going to read you Chris's email, but I'm going to have to sort of... I think there might be some swearies in it, so I'm going to have to censor as we go. Here we go. I'll let a few slip through just to tickle the BSA a little bit. They love me. They love BSA hates lefties like me. You, Heather. are pissing everyone off underlined so much with your continual wittering on and on and on about a leadership change. What the hell, in bold, is wrong with you? Are you a Labour Party stooge? Because I can tell you everyone is wondering. The first most irritating thing that you do is you call that pillock Hopkins chippy. Christ, how annoying and pathetic that is. Then you go off on a tangent about rolling Luxon. Yesterday's article in the Herald on Sunday was just about the ditzy limit. Still, on you go. So many of us listened to your show because we heard the sorts of things that we liked to hear. Not now. It's you continually stirring shit, and it's usually aimed at Luxon. Barry is so right. To roll Luxon now would be a disaster. I feel that once he gets going on the campaign trail, he'll pick up big time. In the meantime, butt out, capitals, and stop causing trouble, you. You idiot female, my God, you've gone down in my estimation. The only thing I tune in for now is Barry at 4.45. He is the only thing of value on your show. Now see Rob Lenski. I think C. Rublinsky's first name is Chris. Thank you, Chris. But it's a lady. I think Chris is a lady. I'm just getting that from the language.
