You forgot Newsnight and Watchdog Mike ... So not THAT idle then but hey don't let that get in the way of one of your daily whinges
He does plenty for his own ends but doesnt use his show to do ANYTHING. It's just the regular pomposity and thinking he is always right on every topic. Time he did SOMETHING rather than just continue with his dreary hand wringing liberal elite act.

As long as he doesn't have to behave and do a grown up breaking news story ... he's not a fan of those.
Oh yes. Didnt think of that! Was imagining the Big Announcement along with accompanying sound effects!!

Thats what I suspect happened with the guy JOB got a job and thats why its not mentioned. Pretty sure if it had been a long term success we would have heard.
Perhaps. But equally the guy just wanted to get on with it without further mention. None of us know so it is just idle speculation to say what happened.

He is wrong though, How many people are in the country with elderly parents abroad? thousands certainly, tens of thousands? possibly.

Regardless of what the daughter says the already collapsing NHS will end up looking after her.
This reminded me of something I saw at first hand many years ago
I was working in a bookshop in fact it was my first job
My boss took on a bubbly 23 year old Anerican girl just for the busy period when the students were buying their textbooks prior to return to uni in September
We got talking as you do and she told me that she and her family were just in the country for eight months
Her mother Manchester born and bred had emigrated to the states when she was twenty vowing never to return
That was until she was told that she had to have intricate major open heart surgery which in the states would have cost many thousands of dollars
Her solution ?, come back to the U.K. Have it all done here for free which she did returning home exactly eight months later and never setting foot her again since
That as I say was some forty years ago and it seems to me precious little has changed since
Should ex pats who moved away be allowed back
They are draining the NHS of cash which we need to treat those who have stayed and paid in all their lives
Do we all think that we are still a soft touch ??

Another update from Theo Usherwood on LBC Iain Dale cannot understand why it is taking Dvid Cameron so long to get a deal from his EU negotiations.

The guy does exactly what any person does for his own ends
He has a job he goes out to work and provides for his family
As do millions of others !!
Like many of us he probably does much to help many people which he doesn't feel he has to share with us
And why should he ???
It seems whatever he would do he would be damned in your eyes !?
He doesn't broadcast his good deeds... Your answer to that Is that he's only there for his own ends or as we would say looking after number one
Second scenario as my late mum would say he tells us the ins and outs of the cats backside .. Or as we would say tells us EVERYTHING
Your answer to that would be he's doing it for attention theirs no sincerity in it !!
He can't and never will win as far as you are concerned Mike so why keep harping on about it ???
There's more to worry about in the world than him and LBC
I'm sure if YOU stopped fixating about him you would feel much better .. I know I would .

You sound like Nigel Farage who reconsidered himself after being called to do so.

But is slagged of none the less for doing so. .

What's the rush? Is Ian Dale wanting the breaking news for his show?

No i mentioned Nigel Farage not Mike who reconsidered his opinion on quitting much like yourself.

And got a slagging off for it when he decided not to..

In his position as UKIP leader.

Any further replies i am happy to discuss in the LBC politics forum.

Paul, I don't wish to be rude or hurtful, but I'd like to redirect your very own words of wisdom back towards you. You could be accused of being a tad obsessed with Mike Rackabit yourself, and your repeated sniping at him is getting tiresome and unwieldy, to be frank.

Ironically, you come across (to me, at least) as the one doing all the goading, which I'm sure would never be your intention, and this thread gets clogged up with your ranty anti-Mike posts and attempts to put him to rights or silence him.

Why don't you just leave him be? Just ignore him and post about the many other things you're interested in. I can't understand why you keep doing it, and I've got a feeling you're just going to continue ad infinitum.

Lastly, on the issue of trolling, are/were you not a good and longstanding friend of the steveallenshow? I rarely endure him nowadays, but the few times I do listen, I'm horrified by the level of vitriol and hurtful comments he directs towards 'clebs' and their family members. How is that OK? And is this not an example of double standards?

Not at all if Mike can't take it he shouldn't dish it out
