Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, 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.

It is Easter weekend and it will most likely be the quietest one most of us have ever experienced.

The good news is that Boris Johnson is now out of intensive care and his recovery continues.

A loud cheer went up all around the country last night when that news was broken.

And of course that can only be great news for the country.

He'll be back at the helm in Downing Street in no time. Meanwhile, the media is at it again, not content with fouling up the cabinet

briefings. They are now getting carried away with themselves. The Daily Mail, not content

with frightening everyone to death about coronavirus, has taken to attacking community

secretary Robert Jenrick for travelling to his family home in Herefordshire and then, horror

of horrors, delivering food and medicine to his elderly parents.

What is wrong with these people?

0344-49-1,000.

Would you please stop trying to find fault with every single thing that anybody in the government is doing and actually become positive?

Some people think because it's a bank holiday, they should take the day off.

I was rather surprised today to see that it was very, very quiet on the roads. Now tell me something,

if all of these people who are travelling are essential workers, then how come they're not working on bank holiday?

Do you not become essential on bank holiday weekend? Is that the thing? Today we're asking you to help us as ever on what should be one of the busiest and biggest travelling days of the year. There should be barely anyone on the roads.

But if you are out there because you have to be, please do let us know what you're seeing.

The police were warning yesterday that there would be roadblocks in place to check people

travelling to the West Country and specifically Cornwall. but we were also told yesterday about lots of cars, rammed with families, moving about up and down motorways as well.
