She's one of those incredibly stupid people who will seize on any excuse to have a pop at 'posh' people. Her contribution to the crumbling schools debate on Twitter: 'I'm going to take a stab and guess that Eton is safe...' And one of the many similar replies: 'Probably because it was built almost 600 yrs ago.' :LOL:

The trouble with Marina is that either she is rather dim or she assumes her followers are or both. She retweets this from the specialist in failure who is James O'Briens favourite lawyer. Yet we all know both of them were screaming for more PPE at the time.

By all means attack the government where it is wrong but this is frankly embarrassing after what Jolyon and Marina called for.

I caught 45 minutes of her which was 45 minutes of Rishi bashing re corruption. I am no Tory fan but as caller Jason from Marylebone said, she is coming across as a bitter jealous individual. Then interestingly another caller who agreed with her but did point out about Peter Mandelson's corruption along with Tony Blair and she soon ended that call.

She is out if her depth in that job and should maybe stick to Twitter or X for her rants to her fan club.

I heard some of Marina's show a week or so back and conclude that she appears to have more speaking power than thinking power.
 
Look at the state of this thread from Sangita. You've got to go some when you use the death of a highly suspicious, vile, supposed arms dealer to have a go at the government.

The London-based media gobshites, sorry 'political/social commentators' are essentially people who are unemployable in any other field of work and/or feel that actually having a job is somehow beneath them. They are FAR to clever, witty and erudite to actually WORK, in a JOB. Oh, heaven forbid. 9-to-5? Oh PURLEEEEZ; It's all drinks-parties, book launches, literary festivals and talking tours. What's utterly laughable is that almost all of them have next to nothing in common with the people who they broadcast to. They live in a bubble of bollocks.
 
Just about to visit this place. Any ideas where I am? Been a while since Ive been and can’t wait to see the changes. #london

According to Wiki she took up political commentary after her snarky rants about Brexit on Twitter gained her a lot of followers. But she does have a degree in Marketing from Portsmouth University. Watch out Marr, Kuensberg, Myrie, Neil, Peston etc.!

This is what drives me mad. She's no more qualified to talk about politics than I am and now we're all supposed to listen to her pearls of wisdom. So many of these types flooding social and mainstream media now. Maybe if I send enough tweets I'll get to do a show on LBC. :rolleyes:

Sangita gets absolutely destroyed in that thread.

There was a much more interesting response here. The only issue I have is that I think one should give relatives and friends a bit of time to grieve before you go on the attack.

 
Colin Brazier didn't stay long in the late night slot. A top class journalist and presenter, but he never sounded particularly comfortable on the radio, maybe he was more at home on TV?

Who do we think will get the gig? Ben Kentish is covering this week, could it be his turn for a permanent weekday slot? Ali Miraj perhaps? Marina Purkiss to fire things up a bit 😲! Or someone brand new to the LBC airwaves?
 
Why not The Huw Edwards? Once he has "recovered" of course from his MH "crisis". He'd be at home on the 10pm slot and would be reunited with some media luvvies..
