What's all that about then? I've seen him on TalkTV and he always came across as incredibly repressed.

He teased an exclusive story relating to Keir Starmer and the BBC, bigged it up massively, world exclusive etc etc.
Turns out to be a Radio 4 comedy satire show called The Skewer last Wednesday did a skit where Keir was rambling on about his parents. He said “my mum…” and then his words were replaced with a clip of the demon in The Exorcist saying “your mother sucks cocks in hell”.
Cardwell repeated it so many times some woman eventually texted in saying “Will you PLEASE stop saying that”.

I was thinking about Steve Allen over the last few days, thinking how he would be revelling in celebrity deaths and Strictly drama then low and behold ...
And it's good to see he's still keeping an eye on Katie Price

Fair play to them in a way. It does beg the question of how to censor songs? For example Oliver's Army has a lyric with "white" and then the N word. It sounds silly without it and yet I also understand that some would be offended.
Speaking of being offended the lack of self-awareness below is off any scale....
I see there was a mention of another LBC thread on another site (possibly this thread). They seemed shocked it was full of hatred to JOB and that it is (in a posters words) fairly toxic and unpleasant. Seriously, the irony as the only toxic and unpleasant LBC thread is on digital spy.

I missed Steve this morning when I woke-up and put LBC on. Who the duck wants to listen to a phone in on immigration at 6:15am. LBC is just unrelenting politics, they should just rename the bleeping station to TalkPolitics or something.

Considering how swearing is fairly commonplace in some genres of modern pop, I thought Ofcom might have relaxed the rules just a tad. It's the 'woke' stuff, i.e sexism and racism that is more likely to yank their chain these days. I believe most music stations have now banned this well-meaning horror from 1969. It was a best seller back in those days of peace and love. ☹
Melting Pot
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy
Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees
If you lump it all together
Well, you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh, what a beautiful dream

Despite all the empty #BeKind nonsense, wokery and so-called self-awareness these "enlightened" days it's a miserable old world out there.
Sorry..Just having a Victor Meldrew moment..It'll pass..

It's quite light up to 6am though then it becomes "LB Serious" apparently.

Steve needs to figure out how to vlog, or get someone to do it for him. He could do pretty good as a vlogger. I remember the old videos of him wandering around Twickenham etc, he was a natural on camera. He always seemed to enjoy the spotlight whenever it was on him.

My thoughts usually go to Steve when there's a high profile death, especially soap stars and z-listers. He does love a good wallow. ☺

I'm sure Boom play that too. I've definitely heard it a few times recently. I think it's too modern for Serenade

Ian often says that's all they're allowed to do. 4-5 they're allowed to be a bit silly and light but then they build up to Nick at 7 so from 6am onwards it's serious stuff.
L B Serious, very good NeroliDespite all the empty #BeKind nonsense, wokery and so-called self-awareness these "enlightened" days it's a miserable old world out there.

! As Fenella says, Ian P's allowed to play in the first and sometimes second hour of the early norning slot, but has to put his serious newzo's head on at 6. LBC has been very clever in finding the balance between keeping Steve's old audience happy before dovetailing back into current affairs mode as the nation wakes up, and Ian is very good at both. I wonder what his listening figures are like?

Good Grief! Even I think it's ghastly and and I'm not especially woke. The final line goes on about 'coffee coloured children'. But we bought into it at the time.I'm sure Boom play that too. I've definitely heard it a few times recently. I think it's too modern for Serenade
Coincidentally, today's DT combines the Boom story with a survey that says the over-55s are more tolerant about swearing on radio.

I'm 56 so that's me then
... I've by passed the Radio 2 stage and gone straight to the oldies station. I'm currently listening to Radio Caroline Flashback (actually it may be them that played Blue Mink not Boom)Nick Abbot often says he cannot understand why you can say what you like after 9pm on the TV but radio is super strict 24/7. It is weird. You can literally say the worst of the swear words on TV.
A list of unacceptable words on the radio:

Don't think that 'Young Girl' by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap passes muster any more 
Anyone know if Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones is banned ?
This thread reminded me yesterday of why I got banned from DS. Channel 4 had him doing the alternative Queen's speech and I referred to him as St Brendan...... banned...

Seriously? That's nuts. He admitted it and stepped down from the charities he was involved with. Makes me sick.
Do you think the likes of James O'Brien would be so tolerant if he didn't fit their agenda of the grieving widower ? LBC do have a knack of bringing out dubious characters for their shows. Andy Hayman on Nick Ferrari and Vicky Pryce on Iain Dale spring to mind too.

There were only two that I'd never heard of and quite a few I occasionally deploy. I particularly dislike the F and C words. They're guttural and sound as ugly as their intention to offend.I'm 56 so that's me then

One of the O'BINGO crowd on X has dug up a Global video clip of Jobby saying - 'We're just coming up to noon, so if anyone wants to take a shot at Trump, maybe they should make it. Not literally obviously. Although on second thoughts....'
I'd guess it's not recent.

All forms of media are getting ridiculous now (apart from Tattle of course)
. We're watching it eat itself in realtime. Still, once all the authoritarians get in we'll only have one news channel and one newspaper ... Aaah, it might be a relief!thewittowoo

Driving for the last couple of hours, so doing plenty of channel hopping. First hour of JOB was about a Reform MP who'd done time, call after call about how could you feel safe going to see him etc. Wonder if he did an hour on any of the Labour MP's in court during the last Parliament
News broke that the Labour leader in Wales had resigned because he'd take a huge donation from an unrepentant criminal businessman. Corrupt to the core, 4 ministers resigned this morning. O'Brien's contribution was to read out the bloke's resignation statement, make no editorial comment and move on. Proper client journalism at its best.
Topic after 12 , 'eco distress'
I'm out
