That would be ideal.

Brilliant radio from Iain Dale this afternoon. Norman Tebbit is always excellent value and the Mann vs Livingstone spat is a lively affair and exposed some rather nasty behaviour in the Labour party and among their supporters. Dale presents one of the very best shows on LBC. Top quality and long may it continue.

I heard Alex Salmond as well this afternoon and it was a decent section of the ID show. A wise move, for the time being.

If Miss Thompson wishes not to be criticized, I would advise that she doesn't go off on a tirade about the very country which helped her make her millions. If she insults the country and it's inhabitants, she's fair game for media scrutiny.

If it was a famously right-wing celebrity who had made these remarks, I doubt you would be complaining about the media's treatment of the celebrity. And I believe Ferrari would treat a right-wing celebrity who had made those remarks in exactly the same way as he would a left-wing luvvie.


The UK is also a signatory to various other treaties, such as green emissions ones which we haven't met. There are also the issues of the UK being involved in the Saudi-led Syria airstrikes and the UK selling arms to 13 countries on it's own "Human Rights Abusers List". BanglaRoad, if you think that this country currently has a "good name" internationally then I am afraid you are much mistaken. The UK is already incredibly untrustworthy internationally.

What diverting foreign aid to the homeless and the elderly would do is make the lives of our own citizens (people who have paid into this country's tax system) much better. How can we afford to send so much money abroad to pay for India's nuclear warheads and space programme when we still have homeless people and elderly folks who can't afford to their heating bills. It's shocking.

What's unpatriotic is saying that we should financially assist developing countries when many aspects of our own country are at breaking point.

I don't think we have a duty as a country to help the poor in other countries until we have insured that we don't have homeless people in our own country. We have a duty to help our own citizens.

Oh give it a rest.
The proportion of overseas aid as a % of GDP is set at 0.7.
Put it this way, if the UK spend was £1 then less than one penny is what is spent on foreign aid.
Ferarri is never done telling us that there are no poor people in the UK. We've all heard him shouting that anyone with a phone and a tv cannot be poor. All of a sudden when help is given to refugees then the tune changes fast. It is grubby and low level nastiness which is lapped up by the xenophobic and the uncaring but anyone with an ounce of humanity or a functioning brain can work out for themselves that it is not an either or situation.

Four nights of Cristo then...

Some absolutely state of the art champagne socialist rib-ticklers from the Mail online in March last year. Thompson and Wise are hilarious, we need more of this silliness. Ferrari would no doubt enjoy.

"grubby" "low level nastiness" "xenophobic " "functioning brain" It all seems rather an unpleasant way of describing views which Chief_Wiggum has politely expressed.

Tremendous stuff from Ian Collins who describes Brian's 'skewers the media's campaign of hate' rant as both "nonsense and cobblers". Essential listening from 10pm onwards as usual. Would love to hear Collins vs Brian.

Very similar to the terminology used on LBC most mornings, just needs a "rancid". Very disappointing, but sadly par for the course at the moment.

"You do not need to pay anyone to undermine Jeremy Corbyn. He opens his mouth, you count to three and he puts his foot in it" - LBC '16.

That Scottish newsreader is not very good.

Promotions presented as news shouldn't be allowed.

The revelation that your rating of the vacuous Right Wing shill Ian Collins is "tremendous" is no great surprise.

James O'Brien v Ian Collins would be horrific. It would be like watching Mike Tyson go in the ring with Eddie the Eagle. Maybe you could be the corner for Collins, repeating the same instructions to him 300 times.

Ian Collins is a right wing 'shill'? Oh dear, not sure I agree with your verdict on the outcome. Brian's act has been rumbled and it seems many are laughing at his liberal/metropolitan elite fakery and bizarre ranting. Lampard destroyed Brian, so why couldn't Collins? Brian is disingenuous.

As I agree with favourable comments made about Ferrari on this particular topic, so I guess that includes me as well. Cheers, Bangla.

I frequently disagree with him about other matters. Likewise I both agree and disagree with J O'B, depending on the subject. It's called having an open mind.

Morning all.

I had no LBC from the early hours on my Dab radio and none of my tv cable service either. Any one else affected? I notice it is now back.

There's a lot to be said for sticking with good old FM. Luddites unite!

David Buik is a market commentator at Panmure Gordon. He was born in Montreal and knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. He's an odious windbag, his only god is money. He is even worse than Henk Potts (who at least disliked Irani on talkSPORT). Why did he bother actually going to the LBC studio this morning?

Yes Frank Lampard did destroy O'Brian, but J'OB had no idea he would be coming on the air so was not prepared [not for one moment am I saying that J'OB did not deserve this, he most certainly did). I like Ian Collins, I do not like James O'Brien, but J'OB is a dog with a bone, IMO very unlikely to let Ian Collins best him in a discussion (sadly)

David Banks alert. Ferrari's ex broadcasting chum will be spouting absolutely incoherent nonsense about the new cut price newsrag from the Daily Mirror (officially the worst newspaper in the world) with NF.

It would be very interesting. Brian couldn't fade Collins down or cut him off so would struggle a lot more than with callers to his show. Lampard's utter destruction of Brian was a masterclass of mind-your-own-business honesty.

I'd like to hear J O'B versus Ferrari. They're both serial interrupters - it would be bedlam, probably ending in either a fist fight or James bursting into tears.

I look forward to both of these "discussions". Perhaps they could be arranged on a round by round, boxing match style. Steve Allen could complete the proceedings by being the announcer, clad in a sparkly jacket with a Tommy Bahama shirt underneath .. Less facetiously they would make for great broacasting but unlikely to happen.

Migrant workers AND cyclists have their turn in the Nick Ferarri barrel this morning.
