He's very watchable when he's giving us his hard men and diamond geezers but, from what we've read about him, he's just playing himself. Unfortunately it didn't work when he played Henry 8th on TV! Henry was a thug and a bully but he didn't come from 'ackney!
Morning all.
After hearing the ad for his book in every single break for the last two weeks I've had enough Ray to last a lifetime thanks. And I'm not interested in the story of "ow I met the Kray twins".... Heard that one from Babs Windsor who also had a penchant for hobnobbing with the criminal fraternity.
On a discussion about male rape,which Nick was struggling to understand in a heterosexual scenario:
Nick: (incredulously) So you're telling me that a man who doesn't want to have sex with his partner can be groomed into performing the act and that would be rape?
Feminist: Yes and of course all men have been groomed to believe that they want sex all the time.
Nick: I havent!
Feminist: Yes you have, all men think they should.
Nick: No, sometimes I want to watch Match of the Day
Feminist: Oh, so you're not a man then.
This is the sort of idiot running a women's group with 'north of ' 200 members. God only knows what they're telling their daughters about men. Pity he only had her first name as this was a fabulous opportunity to deploy the dismissive "Mzzzzzz"

Brian is discussing child sex abuse for the second day running and praising his new hero of champagne socialism, Russell Brand.
If anyone needed proof that Russell Brand is an idiot of the highest order they only needed to see him perform last night.
It was actually nice to see him look uncomfortable, surrounded by a bunch of people who he knew, and most of us know, understand significantly more about the subjects than he did. So to avoid showing his ignorance he reverted to type and shouted at Nigel Farrage who frankly came out of it looking like the only real polititian.
His discomfort when challenged by an audience member to stand as an MP was worth the whole programme.... "Cos I don't want to turn into one of 'em mate". That's how sure Russell is of his own principles.
Just p**s off and get back to writing your next booky-wook. Mate.
I don't know how he gets all the high regard that he does - he's basically playing himself, with varying degrees of added menace, in every role. Another professional Cockney.
.
I like him ..and he supports West Ham ,. so I like him he even more . .With Winstone , a bit like Jason Statham , you know what you 're getting .Genuine A lister with a story to tell - I for one will be a buyer of his book when it hits the charity shops .:)
I cannot ever remember lying in bed laughing at Duncan's programme but I did last night, thanks to Nick Abbot. What caused my laughter? The children who believed that the Three Wise Men found the baby Jesus by using Google Maps.
Thank you, Nick, a glimmer of LBC Past and a welcome relief.

This is where feminism goes wrong, in my view at least. True feminism should be about equal rights for men and women, not obsessing with sex all the time. I'd count myself as a modern feminist, but I'm deeply suspicious of "women's groups", or for that matter "men's groups", because we need to be together and talking to each other.
I really do think Brian needs to speak to someone. He has mentioned his public school in both hours of his show so far. He's 42, why does he talk about this all the time? I 'simply don't understand'. Please can ANYONE answer this? I never mention my school days.

Yep, agree with all of this. There are so many "feminists" out there so busy being a woman that they forget to be a person:(

It wasn't Mr Brand's best media performance but he did come out with the most memorable line of the show when he referred to Mr Farage as "a pound shop Enoch Powell". The phrase is still being used on Twitter today. Mr Farage had a bit of a mare last night overall.
Brian not only spits phlegm into the gutter but uses toilets that are designated for disabled people. What a sense of privilege he must have....
To be fair, I think we've probably all used disabled toilets, but hopefully checked to make sure that no disabled people wanted to use them at the time. It would be embarrassing to walk out the toilet and discover someone in a wheelchair waiting to go in! I think the idea is that the toilets are accessible for disabled persons, but if there are none around, they can also be used by others.

That's the tragedy. Russell Brand, if he wasn't a deeply damaged and deluded individual, can actually be quite funny. However, for some obscure reason, he's decided that because he's an actor and comedian, he's also admirably suited. to be a writer and a spokesman for the huddled masses. The two things are not necessarily compatible. For Brand's own sake, I hope that this media love affair dies down quickly, because it's akin to people visiting Bedlam for a Sunday afternoon treat.

God help us all if you did, we would never hear the last of it ;-)
When I was a regular listener to LBC and a poster here, I wondered if it is because he is adopted. Yes, he had a great upbringing with his adoptive family and they sacrificed a lot to send him to the schools he attended, but maybe he is still unsure about himself. What would his life have been like had he been brought up by his birth parents? It seems (to me) he has to keep affirming how far he has come in his 42 years.
Apologies for my psychobabble and no offence to any posters who are adopted if I haven't explained myself properly.

Unfortunately I fear it's Steve flatulence. *PAARP* And sprouts are about the only healthy thing he eats!

What? The lovely Babs and Scott who also hobnob with Steve Allen ;-)
I only heard a few minutes and he was banging on about death again. .....

Well yesterday's performance was all about what he thought .More a listen-in than a phone-in .T'was truly dire radio .

Russell Brand is a tool. Not much else to say, really.
Ferrari left his post 15 mins early and Brian started his daily discussion on child sex abuse at 10.45am
Yep, agree with all of this. There are so many "feminists" out there so busy being a woman that they forget to be a person:(

Absolutely right, Susie and Makeba.
