TalkSport radio presenter Mike Dickin was passionately critical of the
governments abandonment of genuine road safety measures. He knew that
the camera culture was a cover-up, hiding the loss to road safety of
the removal of traffic police. He was also highly critical of police
responses to emergency calls and the way that complaints were handled
in ever-controlling Blair's Britain. Mike has been described as 'the
original grumpy old man', and it is seldom that you could hear a radio
presenter talk with such passion and at times, real anger. At the same
time, he was a kindly soul and had many an affectionate word for his
callers, as well as the odd rebuke.
I understand there was a six car pile up, two people were injured and
Mike was airlifted to hospital but was found to be dead upon arrival.
Very few broadcasters speak up for the public as Mike did. It is the
country's loss as well as his family's.
