Most of it involved Noel doing nice things for members of the public in the style of earlier shows like <i>Surprise Surprise</i> and Edmonds' own <i>Noel's Christmas Presents</i>. However it also included segments in which Edmonds ranted about bureaucracy and whipped up the audience into a frenzy. The show included a notorious spat with Jim Van den Bos, a spokesperson for Wealden district council in East Sussex, England, over the council's refusal to grant planning permission to a disabled veteran - the council said it was prepared to negotiate even though the proposal was against planning rules. In a correspondence with the show, Van den Bos called Noel's program an "entertainment show". Edmonds considered this a grievous insult, and he responded with what TV critic Charlie Brooker described as "an astonishing three-minute down-the-lens rant", resembling 1970s media satire <i>Network</i>. Brooker concluded "before we know it, he'll be carrying out live public executions - death by gunging for bureaucrats - while the audience fires pistols and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Chegwin" class="extiw" title="wp:Keith Chegwin" rel="nofollow"><span style="color:#477979 !important;" title="Wikipedia: Keith Chegwin">Cheggers</span></a><sup><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" srcset="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/18px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 1.5x, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/24px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128" /></sup> sticks heads on poles."<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[11]</a></sup> All this is further evidence that he's a well-balanced individual. </p><p>His other political beliefs include calling for a complete ban on immigration.<sup id="cite_ref-mcsmith_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mcsmith-7">[6]</a></sup> </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Legally_questionable_activity">Legally questionable activity</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Noel_Edmonds&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Legally questionable activity">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>He has resorted to creative methods to get through traffic: he drove a taxicab and then a bus to allow him to use bus lanes that prohibit private cars.
