Saturday night live

I have just done back-to-back interviews on TalkSport and BBC Radio London. The first, at 10.50pm, was with George Galloway on the self-proclaimed "Mother of All Talk Shows". Tonight was George's last programme before the general election.

As you would expect of an unrepentant cigar smoker, Galloway believes the smoking ban should be amended. After inviting me to tell listeners how they could support the Save Our Pubs and Clubs campaign, he declared "Put me down for that".

Er, thanks, George.

Tonight's show will be archived HERE. I'm on after 50 minutes.

PS. It is now 23:55 or (in tomorrow's time) 00:55. That's a hint, BTW, to turn your clocks forward.

Good interview, Simon.

I'm very surprised at Talk Sport, who seemed to have an anti-smoking line at one time. LBC's Nick Margerrison also did a really interesting show on pub closures and the smoking ban last weekend. So many people called in to complain about this authoritarian ban that this one topic took up almost the whole night.

Smoking ban killing jobs, communities and of course the loss of revenue. Who ask'd us if we wanted the smoking ban.. a strain on the NHS is caused by immigrants and overpaid consultants.
