    Duncan barkes another apologist patronising lefty liberal get off my radio.My opinion only but anyone else fed up with the anti English lefties like duncan barkes.

    I think he is one of the most pompous broadcasters I've heard. He keeps telling us he isn't argumentative or rude yet is incredibly rude to anyone who has a view that he doesn't agree with. He is very patronising calling people names in a sarcastic manner, ie mate, chick etc. in addition to that he resorts to branding callers as 'lame' when they express very real concerns. I enjoyed Olly Mann's shows much more when he was covering this slot.

    Duncan Barkes, left-wing? Are you being serious? You must be very right-wing if you consider Mr Barkes to be a "lefty".

    DA had a very good section on last night about film trivia... with the actor Bruce Dern and another guy. It was fascinating to hear some of the stories from behind the camera. :)

    Duncan Barkes is more of a libertarian than a leftie! He is one of the few presenters on LBC who is capable of an adult conversation without resorting to knee-jerk, newswire narrative and actually has an opinion of his own. His show is for the more robust listener, he deals in the real world and doesn't peddle the Chiswick based middle-class smug and pompous Blairite nonsense that O'Brien specialises in.

    Long may Barkes be in the 1am slot!

    I had forgotten about Nick Margerrison. He was absolutely dreadful and got annoyed with himself as he totally bamboozled everyone (including himself) with his convoluted arguments. A really strange man.

    No - I was looking up about the cable theft (mentioned above), and I then looked at their programme schedule.

    (The article I read said although the cable theft had put them off air on FM, they were still able to broadcast online).
