Welcome to another sparkling edition of Plank of the Week.

It missed out last week for the first time ever because I took a week off

and we couldn't work out what else to do other than to run it into this week and have a sort of a double Plank of the Week award. So it's actually Plank of the Fortnight. I've got the Plank here and I'm delighted to say that I'm in the company of some people who have done this before. Emma Webb is here, who is, of course, conservative commentator, frequent guests on Plank of the Week.

Kevin O'Sullivan, talk radio's very own... of some people who have done this before. Emma Webb is here, who is, of course, conservative commentator,

frequent guests on Plank of the Week. Kevin O'Sullivan, Talk Radio's very own, a hard man, is also here. He's also been on Plank of the Week many, many times. We're coming up towards the end of the year, by the way, and there will be a list made available of all those who have appeared the most on Plank of the Week. and I think Kevin you're up there as one of those who's been here the most.

Now, I'm going to make no apology for the fact that a couple of my nominations actually come from last week because they're so good that I don't want to let them off the hook. But I'm not going to go first. I'm going to let Emma kick us off. So Emma, give us your first nomination. So it's President Erdogan. And he probably hasn't figured, I don't think.

I'm pretty sure he has not figured before, President of Turkey.

Why, particularly... So Emma, give us your first nomination. So it's President Erdogan. And he probably hasn't figured, I don't think.

I'm pretty sure he has not figured before, President of Turkey.

Why particularly is it blank this week?

So he, a number, I mean, he hasn't stopped opening his mouth all week,

and he's got this kind of caliph complex.

He obviously, he said some pretty abhorrent things about France, which I think you could consider abetting some of the violence that's happened since.

But in addition to that, he's also shown himself to be just ridiculously oversensitive.

Yeah.

So he...

Which for a dictator, which I'm going to call him, frankly, because that's kind of what he is.

I mean, he's a sort of benign dictator if you want to compare him to Kim Jong.

But he's still a dictator, really.

Mediocre. Yeah. And he, so he's trying to sue the Dutch politician, Kietvilders, for a cartoon that he had posted online somewhere of Erdogan, I think he was wearing

a bomb-shaped hat or something and it had AKP, the ruling party in Turkey that Erdogan is

from on it.
