Oxygen thief trying to stay relevant.

The Russians?

Farridge thinks he's not been on the tellybox or in the newspapers for a couple of weeks and people will forget about him / stop giving him money, more like.

Doesn’t he have a daily show on LBC these days? Greatest echo chamber he could hope for after Ferrari gets the gammons fired up first thing in the morning.
