Jocky Wilson Says: Mike Read is 'Only an Idiot'


Kevin Rowland of Dexy's Midnight Runners recounts how his fine band persuaded the BBC Top of the Pops producer to put up a big FO picture of cuddly darts player Jocky Wilson instead of Jackie Wilson of Reet Petite fame.

"But Kevin," the producer said "people will think we made a mistake." Rowland told him only an idiot would think that.

The morning after, the DJ Mike Read shared his thoughts with the world: "Bloody Top of the Pops. How could they mix up one of the great soul singers with a Scottish darts player?" But it was OK, thank goodness. Only an idiot would think that. The Tories should be grateful they have leaders of such high calibre ready to ruin London.

Much more on Mr Read and some other Tory mayoral idiots anon.
Montage: LoL graphics.

At least Mike Read hasn't posed with those overstaying Cheeky Girls to gloss over his contested sexuality.

Obviously Mike Read is a blue-blooded male ... but this assertion may be without too much merit as those Cheeky Girls have been everywhere.
