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.

In the UK the terms public and private school mean the same thing. The US 'public' school is transferred over here as 'state' school.

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.

Just by listening to them.
And please this doesn't counter balance by "Red" Ken Livingstone, the millionaire 'Socialist".

So perhaps there are just TWO presenters in a 24 hour period who went to the "comprehensive". How representative of the country LBC is! |

Nick Clegg on Call Clegg is saying that Europe is good for us. Well it has certainly been good for the Clegg family!
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.... |

It will be interesting if the Clegg v Farage debate does go ahead. This is what Iain Dale thinks of it, in his LBC blog.

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.

So Farage and Clegg? Should be interesting, but I'm hoping both will be history come the 2015 national election. When is the Euro election?

Ken Livingstone is at least a millionaire and possibly a multi millionaire.
He is not a Socialist. |

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?

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

He only stepped down officially, but is still the de facto head of the organisation; he still pulls all the strings.

Maybe now that British Gas have announced such a loss in profits they could take those wretched A-Team adverts off LBC.
