leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien.

Thank you very much indeed. What am I saying thank you for? I've already done my introduction. I'll tell you why. It's because I wanted to open the program this morning by giving a nod of kudos to my new colleague Sam, who was dealing with John Barnes' phone call to Nick there at the end of Nick's program and had to put him on hold. And the young genius said to if you've got to hold and give

and do it at the right time john was already on hold and therefore not hearing it for the

and give and do it at the right time bit but still tickled me pink if you don't get that joke

then oh i don't know google it it's coming up to five past ten you're listening to james

o'brien on lbc where we turn our attention once again inevitably, inexorably, and with an overwhelming

sense of sadness to the utterly unnecessary chaos and political carnage that has been inflicted

on an entirely undeserving nation by a cavalcade of cretins, by a collection of individuals so utterly, utterly stupid,

that they still can't see the responsibility they bear for the mess they have inflicted upon the rest of us.

Did you see last night that they have taken to referring to themselves as the grand

wizards? The hardliners, the headbangers,

call them what you will, who were at Chequers this weekend.

According to Laura Kunsberg of the BBC, who is well versed in these matters,

they've started calling themselves the Grand Wizards.

Hey, hey, hey dudes, hey Dom, hey dunks, hey, hey, dudes. Hey, Dom. Hey, dunks. Hey, uh, hey,

Jakey, Jay Dog. We need a nickname for our, for our funky crew. Uh, how about, hey, I've got it.

Why don't we call ourselves after Ku Klux Klan leaders?

Absolute genius.

Unbelievable. Call themselves Grand Wizard.

Nobody thought to put their hand up and say,

this might not play well with, um...

Well, anybody outside our tiny little cabal of complete hoodlums.
