Reminds me of local radio talk shows where nobody wants to phone in.

"One in six of the English secondary schools that improved their GCSE-level results since 2001 did worse in the core subjects of English and maths. Are our schools going downhill? What do you think? Give us a call"

*plays record: Chris De Burgh, Lady in Red*

"Also in the news today: A record 582,000 people came to live in the UK from elsewhere in the world in 2004. Are we letting too many in? Should we let in the browns but not the blacks? Are THEY sending our education system down the toilet? Do phone in on either of those topics."

*plays record: Eagles, Desperado*

"Education? Immigration? Here's another one in today's papers: Violent crime in the three months to the end of June increased by 6% on the same period last year. Anybody mugged you at knifepoint recently? Maybe an asylum seeker with too many GCSEs? Call in and let us know."

*plays record: B. Bumble and the Stingers, Nutrocker*

"Free discussion tonight listeners! Any view on any topic? First time callers welcome"
