Yeah ... he was just pointing out what Mandela did ... ie: Not asking for money, asking for peace and reconcilliation. A very reasoned, calm argument. Obviously not something commercial broadcast media is interested in.

He won't ... he'll be up against some TOWIE divvy. I will hazard a guess he'll do better than David Lammy did though
I think he'll do well. His biggest danger is that he'll start showing off and spend 15 minutes answering the first question.

In other words, he’s started so he’ll finish

Recently it was noted here (I think!) that J O'B has a larger audience than Nick. I confirm that is the national trend. However, in London alone (ie people listening on 97.3) Nick is streets ahead !!

Yeah ... he'll go off on a 15 minute monologue
I think he'll do ok. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he won. I'll have to watch it now won't I? 
I was catching up on Nick Abbot's show from Friday and I was half asleep when I heard him having a bit of a ding dong with a caller. I wondered what it was about. Turns out it was about cooking chips in an air fryer
He is a bully and an nasty one at that.

Because he destroys the arguments of people who call him voluntarily? Or because he's rude about that nice Mr Farage? Hardly bullying on either count.
Because of his behaviour with callers which is nasty unpleasant bullying.
I am not sure why you mention Nigel Farage. Did you mean to reply to someone else? Perhaps on the DS thread.

No, because he's a bully. I think he's even admitted it himself, although only when he was younger and 'working' as a 'journalist' ... he's changed now of course, seen the errors of his ways.

LBC has a long history of employing abrasive, opinionated, confrontational presenters from Brian Hayes and Mike Dickin to James O'Brien and Maajid Nawaz. I don't think any of them were, or are, bullies
James is an awful bully. He even had a member of staff fired for that error on Twitter. There must be an awful atmosphere at LBC when he is around.No, because he's a bully. I think he's even admitted it himself, although only when he was younger and 'working' as a 'journalist' ... he's changed now of course, seen the errors of his ways.

James O'Brien was talking about how he used to ban callers named "Colin' the other day.

Interesting call just now on A Marr from a civil servant who called JOB a while back slagging various people off ... he's been sacked and he's now suing. I remember the original call, came across as a very credible chap. Tories will probably try to smear him now. Not sure if he called James today ... he might tomorrow.

Is that the same guy who phoned James again recently? Maybe a week or two ago and gave the update he'd been sacked then. He did sound very credible.
