Question about UK Channel Boredom

I apologize if this has been asked before.

What is the source of the quote and background music in the beginning of UK Channel Boredom?

Info taken from MANICS.NL


I think it's disgusting the way This government is treating people who can't Vitally live in this English country of ours / I think it's absolutely disgusting The way we treat people in this country
quote by: anonymous
quoted: soundbite in uk channel boredom

sample may be taken from a bbc show called 'open air' which was shown on bbc-1 between 1986 and 1990.'Open Air' was essentially 'Points of View' stretched out to one hour each weekday morning. It consisted of angry phone comments about politics, the previous night's television, various behind the scenes features, and television producers and presenters defending themselves against the tirade of viewers. presenters included Eamonn Holmes, Bob Wellings and the late Pattie Coldwell.

By 1990 'Open Air' had been reduced to a short 'Open Line' feature under the umbrella of the Alan Titchmarsh-fronted 'Daytime UK' banner, so it is also possible this sample is taken from 'open line'.the phrase 'uk channel boredom' is a clear reference to these shows and the emptiness of british culture.

Thanks! xx

WTF, I went to manics.nl and I couldn't find the page for this song. I'm glad someone has better web-surfing skills than I have.
