Labour MP Stephen Pound said: "This is a cringeworthy, patronising attempt by a middle-aged man to convince listeners he is 'modern'."

Further to "twatgate", The Sun report that:
"Labour MP Stephen Pound said: "This is a cringeworthy, patronising attempt by a middle-aged man to convince listeners he is 'modern'.""
I wonder if there are any cringeworthy photos of Stephen Pound? Oh yes here's one...

How about an example of Stephen Pond swearing on the radio, surely that could never have happened...

"In 2003 BBC’s Today Programme asked its listeners to suggest a law that they would like to see put onto the statute books. The BBC received 10,000 nominations and five were short-listed, from which listeners then voted to select their preferred choice. Stephen Pound agreed to sponsor in parliament whichever idea eventually won the final vote. On 1 January 2004 it was announced on air that first place with 37% of the vote had gone to the proposal to authorise homeowners to use any means to defend their home from intruders. (The controversial farmer Tony Martin was still very much in the news.) Stephen Pound’s on-air reaction to the result was that, "The people have spoken - the bastards"."
Odd how Stephen Pound's history is not brought up when he decides to opine on matters of moment. Oh well only another 10 months before Stephen Pound is out of a job as MP and we never have to listen to his views again.
