RaW is 35

If this week's slightly dull speech from David Davis has destroyed his chances of becoming the next Tory leader and perhaps PM, the greatest victory for his leadership skills will remain having co-founded your very own RaW 1251am. Well this week we're celebrating the fact that 35 successful years have passed since then, and we're not at all bitter about that fact that he cancelled a visit to the station last month, which would have been televised on BBC Newsnight a few nights ago. Instead it fell to another former RaW member to give national exposure to our 35th anniversary when Radio 1's James King told Jo Whiley (with only the slightest hint of irony) how excited he was about DJ-ing at our birthday party this Saturday in Time Tunnel, live on Radio 1 this afternoon. The day promises to be a lot of fun, and I for one suspect I'll be glad I organised it, even if it meant a mountain of work right when we had all the Freshers stuff to organise…
