^It's interesting that JOB does not get the flagship gigs at LBC (quite rightly) yet inexplicably gets hired by Newsnight. The media world must be a strange place.

David Buick really is a smug and odious know-all-know-nothing isn't he? He defends his banking chums to the hilt and is absolutely transparent. When he calls Ferrari "guvnor", I want to smash my radio. An awful correspondent.
It's also nauseating how Nick Ferrari hangs on his every word like some lovestruck teenager.
I'm not sure I've ever heard Ms Fogarty express strong political leanings one way or another, her approach is more of being a balanced chairperson.
She was quick to shut down a caller yesterday who said "I made this point to James O'Brien and got called a racist". He was off faster than you could say "sweet potato felafel".
Maybe you just had a lucky bunch and therefore could be called an anomaly?
Quite so. Personal experiences are always sneeringly dismissed as "anecdotal" by Graundiansta types when the stories give bad accounts of immigrants, but are lapped up with glee when trashing British workers, eg, Abbot loving the account of the work-shy Brits selling their free computers down the pub.

I've recently had a lot of refurbishment done and would totally back up tommy2tee's post. Sorry, off topic but this is what I am hearing more and more.
I don't listen to her very often but she does strike me as being more impartial than most.
Fogarty tends to focus on health and social welfare issues rather than Political issues. When she does hold political interviews (like she did with Syed Kamall) it was more like she was a facilitator, leaving her callers to ask the tough questions directly.

'Inexplicably hired by Newsnight' ?
Newsnight edited by former senior Guardian journalist Ian Katz, who was up for the editor in chief's job a few months ago ?
The same Ian Katz who gave Victoria Derbyshire a go at presenting too.
Here we go again. Brian, the former private landlord is going to be complaining about private landlords. Hypocrisy at its finest as usual. Dreadful, dreadful, I'm afraid ladies and gentlemen.
Maybe you just had a lucky bunch and therefore could be called an anomaly?
Certainly was not luck or an anomaly.
As some one who employs people in various jobs both in the UK and Spain I know, from experience, who I would rather employ.
Nick Abbot has raised this issue several times before and whilst his overall attitude and sneering can certainly be questioned I applaud him for addressing it in the way he does. I believe he is more in touch with day to day life than the majority of LBC presenters.

The horror of it. I accidentally heard a few seconds of his hideous voice just now. I'm going to make a strong coffee and try to forget about it.

I admire Foggy for the way she continues to raise issues on care and the elderly, She does this in a calm, sincere and constructive manner unlike some other presenters who have their pet subjects.
With regards balance she must wear reinforced underwear to prevent getting all those splinters in a certain part of her anatomy.
Which consists of her trying to get a telly gig by filming herself making rubbish looking food and posting the results on YouTube.
The desparation of the OB's to be big on TV is almost palpable.
To be fair she does much more than that for both Australian and US TV as well as the newspapers. Both her and JOB have massive ego's, and they are made for each other.
I get the impression that Gobber is making a huge effort to be more polite to callers than he once was. Unfortunately that's what it sounds like - a huge effort. He can revert to type in an instant

Seems like his supercillious and pompous attitude has been toned down a level but it's simmering below the surface as usual and makes him sound discombobulated. A rude presenter who acts more like an overgrown, spoilt schoolboy than a 'journalist'. Rancid radio.

I'd noticed he had become far more conciliatory towards callers. Sadly, I can't see the new transition lasting long. Perhaps he's sickening for something?

It seems likely that James O'Brien has been warned yet again by LBC management about his disrespectful attitude to callers. It will improve for a bit but then he will revert to type.
That one of her with the two Irish blokes in vests came across rather creepily to me. She was like some simpering teenage girl.
If that's the one where they're making felafels, inexplicably out of potatoes, that's Mrs OB's sister. Equally grubby looking and just as smug.
"Felafels are the reason my kids get out of bed in the morning" she pronounces to the two in vests. She was also responsible for the classic "if you cut my kids they bleed houmous".
When Mike says "painfully middle class" I think this is what he means.
^It's interesting that JOB does not get the flagship gigs at LBC .
The flagship gigs are on the flagship programmes! NF and ID present the most-listened to programmes on the station. They would want to put these programmes on when there is a maximum audience. When JOB is broadcasting a lot of people are out at work.

I was referring more to presenting skills rather than political leanings.

I hate it when he does that. He is also doing a lot of lip-smacking these days -rancid.
