Iain "The Hulk" Dale is very proud that he was an avid Express reader at the age of 12, so he's got the right sort of credentials for an LBC presenter. Says it all really, and I'd say the same about a child Guardian fan.
I'd say the Guardian is a far more intelligent read than the Express ever has been or will be. Just about everything in the Express is reported in a superficial and sensationalist way as befits yer average trash tabloid, and too many of their 'news' stories are simply fabricated.

I agree, But the point I was making was about Dale boasting about being an Express reader at the age of 12. In my book, nuggets like that say more about a presenter than his perceived radio persona. Just like his real life behaviour in Brighton.
In the UK the terms public and private school mean the same thing. The US 'public' school is transferred over here as 'state' school.
So perhaps there are just TWO presenters in a 24 hour period who went to the "comprehensive". How representative of the country LBC is!
I don't get your point, which presumably is that the type of school you attend defines your politics in later life. Larry Lamb and Norman Tebbit went to the same grammar school. Nick Clegg, Tony Benn and Nigel Lawson all went to Westminster. The one thing they have in common is that they received a good education, which is handy in both politicians and radio presenters!
A good report by the Daily Telegraph's Parliamentary Sketchwriter about this morning's 'Call Clegg' and why he doesn't think there would never be a coalition between the Lib Dems and the Labout Party after the next election.
LBC certainly getting a lot of mentions on 5 Live about this forthcoming debate. I bet the BBC are kicking themselves for not having their own version of "Call Cameron" or something. I know they have to remain impartial though.

5 Live would constantly break off from Call Cameron for live coverage of the national tiddly winks competition in Great Yarmouth, where the BBC would send 500 members of staff to cover the 3 day event.

Far more right wingers and right wing propaganda than left wing on LBC.
LBC is the Daily Mail of the airwaves - out of touch, ill informed and couldn't care less unless you had private medical insurance and a private income or on good terms with Rupert Murdoch.
Ferrari is the worst, but Iain "assault charge" Dale is up there too.

Yes they have to stay out of politics, they can't be seen to have a serious politician on in case they get accused of helping them broadcast propaganda, so they need someone that is well known but is unlikely to have much political influence... hmmm.. but who?
How about a "Call Miliband", surely someone would be interested in that?

Hmmm.....they seem to have that Farage chap on an awful lot as well.

As Murdoch stepped down as CEO of News International in 2012, I rather think it's you who's out of touch.

Some of the LBC presenters have been really making my blood boil of late and I think they do try and deliberatly get a rise out of people.
Ian Collins, I think he just loves trying to wind up non Tory supporters and I think it is so obvious he is an out and out Tory who cannot handle hearing a word/statement against them! Last night he was really winding me up with what he was coming out with. At one point he said that the Labour Government of the 70's cut spending more than this Government or words to that effect! Where on earth did he get that from or was it a load of you know what?! I've never heard anyone ever say that before!
Then Julia H Brewer said she supported the Iraq war and still does?! What after all that chaos and the loss of lives? >:( I think she was a wind up there as I cannot recall her supporting the Iraq war before and she linked it to 9/11 and how many times, IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11!!!!
Iain Dale then starts going on about getting rid of inheritance tax and stamp duty! He's done a phone in on that before and the same thing happenned, it started off with people strongly agreeing with him and not many who disagreed with him and I really do doubt he didn't have many people disagreeing with him, I think they are just not being put on! I also suspect that this might be a self reference thing for him as he lost his mother last year so could it be that he's facing the inheritance tax?
If you read this Iain or anyone at LBC, the inheritance tax "thought process" is no different to how income tax is applied! Person A who has paid tax on his/her's money gives it to Person B who will also have to pay tax on it even though person A has already been taxed on it! Its the same and the tax is charged to the inheritor not the person who is passing it on!

True. I was even given to believe that public schools in the UK were slightly posher than private schools. eg Eton, Harrow, Westminster etc.
The crossword's better in the grauniad too.

So Red Ken isn't left wing then?

His time as an MEP and his wife earns £500,000 a year as a lawyer specialising in European law. Yes it is a gravy train for the Cleggs....
Hmm....Farage's bestest buddy at LBC bigging him up? I wouldn't put too much stock in Basher Dale's opinion.
He is not a Socialist.

Obviously never listened to James OB
He only stepped down officially, but is still the de facto head of the organisation; he still pulls all the strings.
How do you know that?
Or Ed Balls. They could have it as a comedy hour!
