Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start. One of. the first
things I heard in the summer. of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you. see. We're
not bastards). Much of. what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away
the precise details. have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the
details, and. although archives if they exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what. broadcasters said would leave that open to
re-interpretation.
In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on. his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in the studio, about a person he didn't identify.. He said,
"You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill. him. We should be done
for. attempted manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had said a day or two. before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in. the studio he was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant.. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it could be found. there; what he said
was so out of context. that he would be very hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the site. where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there. had been people in a
computer room when. automatic fire extinguishers went off and those people
were "thinking of suing for attempted. manslaughter".
Finally,. this isn't confined to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened. to a pirate radio station in South London for about
half. an hour, there was an audible phone call in the background, followed
by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of. laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk. to us now, isn't
he?", which meant that they could. hear what I would say in my room.

came amongst us from abroad with disregardful
hearts, that what they saw here cured them of such a temper of mind.
Strangers were generally surprised to find things so much beyond what
they had heard, and were wont to tell others that the state of the town
could not be conceived of by those who had not seen it. The notice that
was taken of it by the people who came to town on occasion of the court
that sat here in the beginning of March, was very observable. And those
who came from the neighborhood to our public lectures were for the most
part remarkably affected. Many who came to town, on one occasion or
other, had their consciences smitten, and awakened; and went home with
wounded hearts, and with those impressions that never wore off till they
had hopefully a saving issue; and those who before had serious thoughts,
had their awakenings and convictions greatly increased. There were many
instances of persons who came from abroad on visits, or on business, who
had not been long here, before, to all appearances, they were savingly
wrought upon, and partook of that shower of divine blessing which God
rained down here, and went home rejoicing; till at length the same work
began evidently to appear and prevail in several
