Gary's view
I've been dismayed at suggestions that some of the calls on last week's show about freedom of speech may have been hoax calls. My producer, Matt Weston, and I are determined to stamp out this behaviour. I am a serious broadcast journalist and a winner of three prestigious Molsen awards in Canada. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you think you know who any of these jokers might be. Thanks
