Tony Blackburn has been praised for taking aim at President Vladimir Putin on his BBC Radio 2 show by letting the music do the talking.
The broadcaster, 79, was presenting his Golden Hour show on Sunday night when he made a quip at the Russian leader in his link ahead of playing Moloko’s Sing It Back.
The lyrics, sung by Moloko’s Róisín Murphy, then sounded: ‘If you are ready, I will surrender, take me and do as you will.’ Clearly blown away by the broadcast, another exclaimed: ‘F*ck me…that’s it. The greatest link in history. Not even Partridge could pull this off.’Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and Blackburn has long been vocal in his disapproval of the war.
