number of Robin Cooper Timewaster Phone Calls released on the web and Popper's website. Tangerinegate Popper was responsible for a minor hoax regarding Gordon Brown in February 2010 known as "Tangerinegate". Popper, who often makes prank phone calls, rang up London radio station LBC claiming he had seen Brown throw a tangerine into a laminating machine during a fit of rage, breaking the machine. This hoax was reported as a true event in The Daily Telegraph as well as being referenced (as 'alleged') on comedy news show The Bubble. The Financial Times (FT) website published a blog post, stating its belief that the story was a hoax. The FT also reported on the emergence of a computer animated version of the events from Hong Kong. Similar stories regarding Gordon Brown having temper tantrums were widely published in the British media during February 2010, following publicity about Andrew Rawnsley's book The End of the Party. The Financial Times later issued a follow-up post acknowledging the hoax.
