Across the UK on DAB Plus, on YouTube, on your mobile, and on your side, this is talk. We are edging ever near to Christmas.

Today, by the way, is the penultimate day for this show,

because after tomorrow we're off.

And I'm afraid the head of graphics

hasn't come up with anything better than what I've got behind me.

He still hasn't done anything. I don't know what's going on.

I should be making another entreaty to him earlier on this morning to say,

can you not give us something? I was doing Plank of the Week this week,

and we did a Christmas special, and the background was amazing, beautiful.

You know, lots of holly, lots of mistletoe, lots of baubles. This is crap. I'm sorry. If it was

doubt of me, I'd fire him. But there we are. Tom Slater's here. Tom, very good morning,

I'm sorry about the background. I mean, it's not very Christmas. It's the best we can do,

apparently. This is about as imaginative as the head of graphics gets. Well, you know, nevertheless, at least it's wintery, if not that Christmas.

Wintery, yes. Maybe that's the problem.

You know, there's no reference to Christmas at all.

No, not.

You know, it's like you might as well be on the BBC.

Anyway, very good morning, see, how are you?

Yeah, very well, thank you.

Let's talk about this ECHR ruling, first of all, in the Tegraph. Some bloke from Turkey, who has been one of the top sort of herring kingpins of this country

for many a year, sent to prison.

He's 70 years old, and I think his name is Aliwi Kurd.
