They must have near realtime figures for all the people listening on the internet so could judge pretty well the types likely to be active on twitter and their (idle) threats.

The title of the petition makes me laugh "Reinstate Sangita Myska to her Position at LBC"😆, I'm sure that stance goes down well

Agree 100% on Payne. I didn't listen for a few months (childish boycott's 'r us !), but tuned back in and now enjoy the bits I hear, usually the first hour. Was half asleep but I think he mentioned yesterday that the last quarter's listening figures were in and his audience had held up. I know the stations get them before the official RAJAR release, so maybe LBC knew more about Myska's figures than the anti semites signing petitions and tagging in 'Likud Broadcasting Corporation' through their timeline

Hi Neroli

I am afraid you got your boycott all wrong according to the Twitter (x) crew. The correct procedure is as follows.

1. Do not listen to LBC.
2.. Announce on Twitter that you shall not be listening to LBC.
3. LBC collapse under the weight of unchanged audience figures.

I hope that is now clear....

They must be severely lacking in positive role models in their lives if they think CV is someone to look up to.

She's a desperate serial attention-seeker who never got over the fact her Dad left home when she was 9. I don't see why we as a nation have to pay for whatever neuroses she has. Why doesn't she just find a good therapist, go live a happy healthy life and LEAVE US ALL ALONE.

The people who lick up to her on X like she’s some sort of social justice warrior. Absolutely pathetic. They must be severely lacking in positive role models in their lives if they think CV is someone to look up to.

I wonder what will happen to all these people who are currently making a living out of slagging off the Tory government. They'll have a few weeks of gloating to enjoy but sooner or later they are going to have to find a new topic for their snarky campaigns.
 
Private eye, but there's no reasoning with people on twitter.

STATION OF THE CROSS

THE abrupt disappearance of weekend show radio presenter Sangita Myska from LBC led to fervid conspiracy theorising, given that her final show featured a combative interview with an Israeli government spokesman about the war in Gaza, This was in no way quelled by LBC keeping

clips of the exchange online and on its social media in contrast to the station's record of swiftly censoring things bosses do not want listeners to know about, as when all coverage of the "Swiss Leaks" international tax avoidance ews bulletins scandal was expunged from news on the orders of owner Ashley Tabor in 2015 when he realised his father Michael had been one of those involved (Eyes passim).

In fact, Myska appears to have been booted out to make way for a new weekend schedule featuring a programme for Vanessa Feltz, who has left Talk Radio after her show there was handed back to predecessor Jeremy Kyle to make up for the station abandoning his much-hyped breakfast show-and its entire TV broadcasting experiment -after a mere five months.

Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy is also departing his Sunday morning LBC show in the shake-up, which will make it much easier for Labour to take the moral high ground over the Conservative and Reform party voices who have just been given the green light by by Ofcom to continue to spout on GB News in the run-up to the general election.

Departures from LBC are generally conducted in brutal fashion. In 2023, early

breakfast show host Steve Allen was let go from the station with immediate effect after no fewer than 44 years' service, with no explanation to listeners or colleagues. A year earlier, Maajid Nawaz loudly

protested his own abrupt expulsion from his LBC show after becoming increasingly enmeshed in anti-vax conspiracies. And former presenters Nigel Farage and Katie Hopkins were both shown the door "with immediate effect" by LBC after becoming embroiled in racism scandals that risked damaging Tabor's brand- although the 25,000 people who last week signed a petition demanding Myska's return to the airwaves probably didn't object quite so much to those particular sackings
