I'm guessing this was Nick At Night on Hallam? If that is the case, he has a history of saying things that are completely opposite of what any normal person would think! I seem to remember him saying something once about how people should not be allowed to defend their property with force! Obviously saying this just to get some kind of reaction from listeners. So I wouldn't pay his opinions too much heed.
Incidentally, i think this is the same DJ who meat phoned earlier in the year. Some people never learn!
