Is it just me and am I alone in not caring what Emma Thompson thinks of the EU and Britain.
As for the Daily Mail which moans like hell every day on its pages convinced as it is that the Country is going to hell in a hand cart, the hypocrisy level is at 10 on the Richter Scale. |

Emma Thompson's new film opens this week. Today you can't open a paper or go on social media without seeing her mentioned. Whether her comments were in order to garner publicity for herself and the film or distract from the lukewarm reviews is anybody's guess but, nonetheless, job done!

Have LBC ever had a film review section? Would enjoy that, sometimes listen to the film reviews on 5 Live but they are a bit up themselves and too clever for their own good.
I used to listen to Mayo and Kermode, but as you say it's too smug to be listenable. |

That's a good point. It would provide an alternative to all the political debate on there. Say an hour as part of someone's programme. Guess it would depend on which presenter has the most interest in films. There must be plenty of critics who could do an hour a week with them.

If only the Government invited them in, they would only be too happy to work at providing that additional infrastructure !

Said about Emma Thomson, but so easily could be describing Mr OB!. No surprises that he's spent 10 minutes spitting out his defence for her before saying "but that's not what we're talking about" ![]() Love_You |

It's not just you and yes, the hypocrisy of the 'outrage' is very clear, isn't it? I think you should find a name for that scale other than Richter, though. What should it be? The Mail-Sidebar-of-Shame Scale?

This was a great hour of radio with Ferrari and callers discussing champagne socialists. It must have made for uncomfortable listening for 44 year old Brian.

James Max used to do some film reviews with a guy whose name I can't remember, but who used to be paired with Petrie Hosken way back when.

Yes welcome back Mike, I was worried it might be a lot longer. Will you be monitoring The Brian today? I enjoyed catching up on your comments from yesterday.

Maybe a two hour show devoted to film, tv and books could be fitted into the schedule somewhere. Just about everybody likes at least one of those and there is always new material to talk about and if it is a quiet week for new stuff then just fall back on the classic "what's your top five films"

When they had News Direct, they had a one minute film review. I just don't think that sort of programming would fit in with their current format. |

In the very early days of LBC, they used to have a daily Arts Programme at 7pm, I think - the name Tony Parsons rings a bell as a presenter. Then on Sunday afternoons Carol Allen presented a film review programme.
When they had News Direct, they had a one minute film review. I just don't think that sort of programming would fit in with their current format. It would probably fit in better then the sex show with Lucy Beresford and in the same slot. |

Was ET given the right to reply? Of course not. The attack dogs were let off the leash and told to get stuck in. This is classic Murdoch media tactics, take one harmless line from "the enemy" spin it through their media machine and throw it out to the waiting mob.

Nick Ferrari was well and truly caught out by that caller Anthony this morning. Normally Nick is the voice of reason on these subjects but Anthony was right- you can't criticse people for being offended by petty comments one day and then claim you are offended by petty comments the next day.
At least Nick had the courtesy to accept that he was wrong on that one. O'Brien would probably have cut the caller off and carried on moaning. Great show from Nick as usual, some good calls this morning although the topics weren't as light-hearted as yesterday morning. |

Ferrari comes across very ignorant at times. He asks why someone ought get a free translator in court trials??
What would he do if he was arrested for a crime in Germany?? Would he shout loudly in English and hope for the best?? It is the responsibility of the court to allow the accused to follow their trial. He was a third rate sun "tabloid ournalist" now he is a first class fool on National radio.. Quote:
She was criticised because she made a number of derogatory comments about her own country, without which she would not have made her £30m fortune. Is that not reason enough to be criticised?

Possibly, I never listen to her.
