Shelagh Fogerty is off on Monday so her show will be covered by Tom Swarbrick. She is back on Tuesday though.
LBC General Chit-Chat (Part 31)
203 of 403
Calling James O'Brien "Brian" or "Gobber" is very childish. And for them to call JOB childish is hypocritical.

If I did twitter I would tweet that map to NF and whoever is programme controller at LBC.
Sounds like it's been a Corbyn love in on O'Brien. Ferrari couldn't have been more certain in his comments on what he thought of the result last night. Trying to work out how the 'LBC is trying to destroy Labour' narrative fits in with this.

Yes it is.
When we notice that a wealthy man does not form a company designed to sell Private Healthcare to the NHS and does not join a political party with a rabid interest in chucking money at private healthcare providers......we are paying him a huge compliment.
The stereotype suggests that the the wealthy man can and must take the Lifestyle Choice which will make him an even wealthier man. He must do that because he is Selfish and Greedy.
When you notice that a wealthy man or woman is not making that Lifestyle choice you are paying them a compliment.
A couple of years ago Billy Bragg was the person often called a Champagne Socialist. Thus drawing attention (thanks Suckers!) to a wealthy man who does not just perform concerts for a wonderful charity. His own charity. He does whole freaking tours for the charity.
But what does he live on during the months of touring to produce funds for the charity?
He lives on his wealth.
Just imagine that Huh?

Sorry but when I use that term I mean "hypocrite". I think most people do. Nice to see your personal slant on it though.
Socialist Shelagh and her Widdecombe show is unbearably dull. NHS, Catholicism, War...Catholicism, NHS, Austerity...NHS, old people. Catholicism, the pope, the pope, Liverpool, Ireland, Ireland, Catholicism, the pope, NHS, NHS...

Brian is a champagne socialist hypocrite. It's not a compliment.

One purpose of debate (for example on a public forum) is to establish who is and who is not a hypocrite.
For example....at some point we may attempt to define what constitutes Free Speech on a public forum.

You might certainly try that. Hopefully it won't get deleted by the mods for being OT. Good luck!

In the first week after Paris, Shelagh was the person talking about Health issues, and the NHS, and not the astonishing mind blowing repetition of one topic from most presenters.
But I can see why the daily 6 hour slot of left leaning talk might "bother" you just a little.
BTW MR.....talking of astonishing mind blowing repetition....
I wonder if the JOB Phrase Detection Device is able to detect how often a forum member uses the word "socialist" in a post complaining about the content of LBC output?

I have always taken "Champagne Socialist" to be a compliment.
If it is not, then one is left with a question.
What does a Left leaning person of conscience, who also happens to enjoy an above average level of wealth, have to do to avoid being insulted for the combination?

I am a UKIP voter, but find that map hilarious, very clever. (Do not understand the BBFs in USA)

You are clearly making no effort to belong to the clique!
Once again:
Only the poor may advocate for the poor lest they be hypocrites.
Only refugees may advocate for refugees lest they be hypocrites.
I bet you don't even read the Daily Mail.
Can anyone explain that vodaphone advert that has the background music Flying Without Wings? I always seem to become conscious of it halfway through so hear the music and a woman talking to something that sounds like a chipmunk.
What's it supposed to be

Obviously if UKIP had won they'd be claiming the postal vote had been rigged aswell. I mean, of course they would.

I took it to be a dig at Farage chumming up to the lunatics at Fox News and his meetings with the tea party mentalists.

What is childish about calling him Gobber? He spits in the street so its a nickname based on his disgusting habit. Hardly childish. If I was going to be childish I would call him Mr Potato Face or Goose Grease or something like that

Who exactly do you regard as being in 'the clique' ?
I see this frequently on this thread and it really annoys me.
As far as I'm concerned its just a bunch of people who frequent the forum regularly and therefore in jokes and nicknames naturally develop.
You post here as much as anyone so as far as I'm concerned, you're part of the clique too

Noo! A one-off or a regular topic? If the former, may have to break the habit of a lifetime and listen to the podcast.
Not his greatest fan but this does make me laugh. Personally, I don't find it as smug and patronising as the letters.
