Simon Gedye - 16th April .

Listened to this some-time in the early hour's some time after my commentary on ' Mr Murrin ' had sprouted wings & flown away just as I pushed the ' Post ' button at 1.00 am .

Superb and accomplished as per usual ......You're really getting very good with all of these regular interviews . You must have by now reached a point of ' Semi-Inundation ' whereby you're able

to be exceptionally ' picky ' in whom you choose or decline to speak with . Waiting List must be vast .

I would like to agree with you Simon but I think Alasdair will talk to everyone he possibly can. I don't think he would turn anyone down unless for some extenuating circumstances. After all his name is mentioned, for good reason, in almost every corner of the globe. I bet he would even appear on the BBC but for some strange reason they would rather he didn't. Maybe they're scared of him🤔

Anyway, sad loss for many, because his knowledge is second to none on so many levels.

Hello Mitch : Mine was somewhat of a ' Jokey ' note about Alasdair having so many people lining up to talk to him that he could afford to be ' Picky ' etc - not to be taken too seriously .

YES - fully agree how the " Legend Of Macleod " is to be found in all corner's of the earth where anyone if clued up enough can be educated at the knee of the master . Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from ' A.M. ' and fail's to grasp it must be a few Currants short of the old ' Chelsea Bun ' and will for sure rue the day - Probably very , very soon .

Yes - agree - I can't see Alasdair declining to talk with anyone whose sensible and got ears to hear ..etc ....' BUT ' - The ' B ' , ' B ' , sodding ' C ' - give me a break , you're really scraping the shit from the bottom of the barrel here . I can't think that Alasdair or any of his exalted luminary's could or would lower themselves to talk to an organisation that completely lost it's way eon's ago ( & should have lost its Charter ) and is now a ' Joke Outfit ' that most people with even just a handful of grey cells can't take seriously & roundly despise .

The BBC as a ' Job Lot ' are beneath contempt and should be expunged alongside ' The Fed ' ,

The BOE , BIS , CIA ..etc..etc , and alongside all other organised purveyor's of tyranny .

This said - I doubt that there's anyone amongst the BBC's ' Economics Team ' who'd have the

brains to comprehend anything Alasdair was telling them . This therefore would amount to an exercise of the utmost futility , and akin to - " Casting Pearl's Before Swine " .
