The Independent Republic of Mike Graham on Talk Radio.

Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio.

We've come to the last Friday in February,

and you know what they say,

beware the aides of Mars.

But I'm not sure we need to wait that long to be much.

There's plenty to beware of today already.

The Pope was taken ill yesterday

after shaking hands with a load of people in Rome.

200 billion quid has been wiped off shares in one week.

There's more coronavirus victims each and every day, and they're even talking about canceling the Grand National. For heaven's sake, as if all that

wasn't bad enough, we're hearing schools might have to close down for two months, and even

Glastonbury might be off as well. So bad news for all those eco-planks. That'll upset them all,

currently marauding all over Bristol for the chance to catch a glimpse of Eco Superstar Greta Thunderbird, who's encouraging

a mass school strike to paralyze the city. If you're trying to get to work or even run a business

in that city today, I want to hear from you. And I'll be asking a government minister as well,

how come it's allowed to even happen, especially as the police have warned against it and said

it might be unsafe. Meanwhile, she's getting a police escort as if she was a member of the

royal family. It's an absolute nonsense, isn't it? We'll be talking about the royal family, of course,

as well. 0344-49-1,000. We'll be finding out just how much Harry and Megan will be charging us

for the privilege of paying for their security detail, now that Canadians have said they're not footing a bill anymore, and we'll be asking why the BBC has spent 28 million pounds of licence fee money

on 500 gagging orders on staff over the past few years.
