Did you see Jaquie (or however she spells her name) Smith on the BBC2 poilitics show? She was promoting some organisation she's set up to promote respect and being nice in politics ... only then about 30 secs later to talk over Isabel Oakshot and tell her to 'shut up' in a really condescending way? She looked bloody ridiculous ... as do a lot of these righteous types to like to tell everyone how to live their lives and how to act. Ugh.

I didn't. I would be liberal in my views but I don't like the sanctimonious element.

Talking of taking legal advice and libel action is such a Jack Monroe thing. She won one case where Katy Hopkins got her confused with someone else and refused to appologise and now chucks out her 100% success rate and how she has a team of lawyers all the time :LOL:

I think Mike and the Murdoch corp would love it to be pursued.

I agree Carol, but getting litigious should mean to actually follow through. Not just bait it. 🍿 even though I doubt anything will come of it.

These people are such geniuses for showing beyond all doubt that Jobbie has been substantially and materially impacted by a tweet :rolleyes:

I hate Myska almost as much as O'Brien. A sanctimonious, thin skinned liberal shill who seems stunned that people actually have different views.Not heard a single pearl of originality since she started

I don't know what LBC saw in her. Marr & Maitlis, sure. They're big names to poach. Same for Eddie Mair and Shelagh a few years back. But I'd never heard of Myska and predictably, the moment she leaves the BBC, she goes hardcore left.

New to the thread. But honestly I'm not sure what I just tuned into to. Quite like James but he's just shouted over a caller and faded him out. What's the word ....hypocrisy?

Firstly welcome.
As to James that is normal behaviour. It is why some years back the TV series O'Brien only lasted 2 weeks.

He was routed by the chavs of daytime ITV because he was unable to play his trump card of the fader button.

I am amazed O'bingo was able to squeeze his overinflated head through the studio door this morning.
He's subtly trying to tell the listener that he was too good for the BBC, walking out on Newsnight :rolleyes:
Slimy weasel

What about ITV as he failed there too?

That was a rubbish call. The guy was ended up just ranting and James was goading him. He gave him far too much air time IMO because it was going nowhere. James seemed very pleased with himself though.
 
James was slipping into a bit of 'what's your favourite TV theme tune?'today. Then he kept saying 'we're not that kind of station'. He also said that people who have finished nights don't want to listen to that they want to listen to what's been going on and proper catch up.

100% wrong James. I used to work nights and that's how I, and many of my colleagues, discovered Steve Allen. Last thing I wanted was a discussion of assisted dying or alcoholism at 5am.

They used to sound quite appealing options at 10.15am in the days I listened to O'Brien

Steve will be sorely missed. He could easily do a 2hr podcast each day and it'd get quite a few listeners. Could convert one of his rooms into a mini studio in a day. Easy. Although I did get the impression he quite liked having a couple of nubile assistants to order about. :ROFLMAO:
