Radio presenters James Whale and Ash Gould discussed the increase to the BBC licence fee and argued the principle of increasing the bill amid the pandemic and public anger towards the BBC was an insult to many. Despite the increase not being a significant amount, less than the price of a cup of coffee, the show hosts pointed out the fee was not worth paying and fired both barrels at the corporation. The decision was made by the Government in 2016 to increase the BBC licence fee in line with inflation each year.

TalkRadio host and commentator James Whale insisted Scotland would not rejoin the European Union as an equal partner. Speaking to Scottish journalist and independence campaigner, Michael Sturrock, Mr Whale insisted it would be foolish for Nicola Sturgeon to push Scotland into leaving the UK to try and join the EU now. He said the UK has just regained its sovereignty and claimed the EU was a failing and flawed organisation.
