I can't find the link, it's on the BBC site somewhere and I can't get it again...dammit.
But here's the edited transcript. Read and witness Richard Littlejohn trying to argue with somebody that can use proper words and everything.
------
CAMPBELL: Neither did I get a chance to read yours Richard but that's not to say that I won't. But what do you make of what David Aaronovitch has said? It is front page in the Independent. He says Richard Littlejohn's novel is a 400-page recruiting pamphlet for the BNP.
LITTLEJOHN: What else do you expect from an overgrown student union leader who used to be a member of the Communist Party? I think it is a badge of honour to be attacked by people like David Aaronovitch to be perfectly honest. I might put it on the cover.
SELF: Well he is right.
LITTLEJOHN: Is he?
SELF: It is a 400 page... I've read 200 pages of it and that is a 200 page recruiting leaflet for the BNP.
LITTLEJOHN: Well, you can't comment until you have read the other 200.
SELF: Why? Does it suddenly turn into Tolstoy?
LITTLEJOHN: You'll have to read it and find out, won't you.
SELF: Well it won't take me long
LITTLEJOHN: I wouldn't take the far right because you haven't read the book, clearly. You have read parts of it. The fact of the matter is I wouldn't expect anything else from you. You people, you conduct -
SELF: You haven't read my book have you?
LITTLEJOHN: I know I haven't. I'll just take it with me to the land of the free and read it by the swimming pool. It has had some fantastic reviews.
SELF: At least I have had the decency despite I'm only appearing on a radio show with you to actually bother to engage -
LITTLEJOHN: Well I didn't even know I was appearing on a radio show with you until 9 o'clock this morning otherwise I might have made an effort and at least tried to read some of it.
SELF: I knew I was appearing on this show with you last week.
LITTLEJOHN: Well nobody told me that but that is neither here nor there.
CAMPBELL: It wasn't deliberate, it wasn't deliberate.
LITTLEJOHN: But you people do tend to conduct a debate amongst yourselves.
SELF: I am engaging in a debate with you and I have done my preparation.
LITTLEJOHN: But you haven't read the book in its totality and you have to read the book in its totality.
SELF: Why?
LITTLEJOHN: In order to understand it.
SELF: Does it turn into Tolstoy at page 205?
LITTLEJOHN: No it doesn't turn into Tolstoy. I don't set out to be Tolstoy. It is a much more complex book than that.
SELF:Than Tolstoy?
