Silly silly silly, the first clue that this was fake was that their was no media present.

Their would always be media present during something like that, always.

[LiamRproductions]

@TheSunzuki1983 It's a prank call, bro. He wasn't trying to cause a hoax. It was pretty obvious.

[MrRippy99]

Robin Cooper is hilarious.

[RICHrospect]

Every time i hear this i'm always slightly annoyed i didn't get to hear what Brian had to say.

[redshiftexperiment]

@BillyBobsEel I remember clearly what Brian had to say that very day over a year ago and I am just hearing this now! Brian! don't make me laugh! what a shill! what pride in his blue sports jackets! he as per usual denied denied denied. when it is clear to all involved that Mr Brown has secretly held a grudge against lamination machines and citric fruit for years. Someone told me that his favourite movie was public enemy with james cagney because of the famous grapefruit scene with mae clark.

The voice on the sting at the beginning sounds like a parody of a local radio sting.

"No, I won't say where nor when it happened, there were no press covering it (not even the bloody local paper), we did have evidence of his visit in the form of a signed photograph but it was conveniently stolen"

"Right so we have to go by nothing but your own imagination-I-mean personal account on this one"

"yes, I can't describe the feeling of power and self importance I'm feeling right now"

[dedded101]

@Treblaine Not sure what you're saying, Treblaine.. that it was fake? I thought that was obvious ;)

[Treblaine]

@dedded101

I'm not sure either, was this a prank call as a joke? A tall tale from an attention hungry loner? Or is the entire thing a parody even the radio station?

Either way, it is so deadpan it is almost impossible to tell.

I just wonder if all this nonsense has an overall positive or negative effect on Labour's poll prospects.

[RichardEleven13]

@Treblaine Robert Popper is a comedy writer and producer. He wrote the Timewaster's Letters and he does this sort of thing often for his blog.

[Treblaine]

@RichardEleven13

Ah, so it was just a joke, prank call to a real radio station. Should have read the info box more carefully.

[NearTheCoastdotCom]

For those that don't know LBC is a radio station in a large town near Chelmsford

[AdamGillett]

Haha, brilliant.
