Not how LBC rolls these days. There's no real 'conversation' anywhere.

Lots of shouty monologues from ego-maniacs with thin-skins. It is getting worse. It's so bizarre how some politicians want to be broadcasters and some broadcasters clearly want to be politicians ... be nice to have some 'normal' people in both fields. Although I wouldn't describe Steve Allen as 'normal' 🤪 at least he did have the types of conversations we all have, without the ranting and raving, ie: what's your favourite biscuit? :)
 
I switched off at twelve, couldn't be bothered with mystery hour.

A few years ago I had to do a tube journey once a week to Holborn. The journey time there and back gave me an opportunity to listen to MH. I sometimes found it very interesting and informative. I haven't listened for ages now.

If I want to listen to a podcast it is 'For the Many' with Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith.
 
When I first started listening to LBC, I was contracting in London and could listen through headphones all day. Even JOB was ok some of the time ( he was very good the day of the London bombing). It was Sandi Toksvig, David Preever, Henry Kelly. Then later Anna Rayburn, Daisy Sampson, (MacAndrew), Jenni Eclair, Petrie Hosken and Stig Abel. It was a good mix of personalities. Since Steve left, I’ve deleted the app and no longer listen. My Dad loved Steve. He’s terminally ill now and really misses Steve’s daft chat.🙁
 
"I don't want this phone-in to turn into a sectarian slanging-match". First call ...Pro-independence scottish lady slagging off the Tories. :rolleyes: Of course ... nothing was said. Geezus. ps. What were the 'extraordinary scenes' on Question Time? Did Fiona Bruce kick off (or better still strip off) ?? :ROFLMAO:🥰

I assume it was this ....







I tuned into last night to mid week Nick Abbot and he was discussing the menopause. That's a sentence I never thought I'd type. I'll bet the house it wasn't his choice. :ROFLMAO:

We will know there has been a change of LBC policy if James returns to his previous obsession about breastfeeding.....
 
Ha, ha. Just seen that Mark Littlewood, one of the IEA people who wind up O'Brien so much is being made a Lord in Liz Truss's resignation honours list

Top, top trolling

Littlewood was one of the geniuses behind "Trussonomics" and Kwasi Karteng's mini budget which blew a £30,000,000,000 hole in the UK economy, knocked thousands of pounds off the value of people's pensions and increased the cost of everybody's mortgage.

But as long as James O'Brien is upset, that's the main thing. 🤔🤪🤡
