    Given Martin is now a BBC pawn, you cannot trust anything he says. He’s now part of the establishment.

  • Always smug and now a bully

    It’s a shame that Mr Lewis has now moved from being simply an extraordinarily smug individual with an ego that is beyond comprehension, who happens to know quite a lot about his subject matter, to now abusing his position to bully his on-show producer. I used to listen in spite of the ego, as the information shared made it worthwhile. The bullying has crossed a line and I’ll be unfollowing.
