Can LBC please stop entertaining Nigel Farage. His opinions/arguments bring nothing new to the 'Out' campaign and his weekly 'Phone Farage' phone in is just another platform for his fanbase to have their little rant about why the EU is so terrible. (I don't think one single caller challenged him on yesterday's show with Ferrari.)
Where's the balance, LBC? He just spins the same old parochial views on loss of sovereignty and uncontrolled migration. I'm hoping for an 'In' vote if only to see him vanish into obscurity never to be seen or heard of again. Go take a leaf out of Nick Clegg's book. |

Petrie continually retweets fawning sycophantic compliments about herself, she also has updated her profile photo with a slightly more provocative one - could this be a form of narcissism, a quality which she is loudly denying she has?

Where's the balance, LBC? Katy Hopkins wouldn't have presented a show if she hadn't expressed such controversial views in newspapers. George Galloway will have a weekly show on Talk Radio. He has worked for the Russian and Iranian state propaganda channels. I don't think people who have had shows or appeared regularly on RT or Press TV should be allowed to present on LBC. Quote:

No Ferrari and no Farage ?? Maybe on June 24th... 😊
So what is the solution ? They have bills to pay like everyone else And just because they appear on RT and the like that surely doesn't mean that's their political leaning does it ? Surely Sir David Frost's tenure at Al Jazeera is a case in point ?? |

Farage is one of the biggest assets the remain side have.
Looks like the 'Out' campaign have got themselves a new poster boy.

That's what I thought too (until I saw George Galloway speak at the EU Grassroots Out rally last night).

The problem is 99% of radio and tv presenters are employed on a freelance basis aren't they Wns ?

I think it does actually, unless they're going on there to criticise the Russian government. They are not. They are going on there to assist RT in it's attempts to spread propaganda that is intended to undermine confidence in governments and institutions Russia doesn't like. I am sure there are poorer people who have refused to appear on RT.When ever callers to LBC mention that they watch RT, it is usually after expressing support for conspiracy theories or fringe views. |

We are insistently told the Brexit campaign is not xenophobic in outlook, and yet its leader-in-waiting cannot even offer an unambiguous stance on a predictable situation.
It not just about UKIP anymore, or at least it should not be. Farage is starting very poorly indeed. You can see what the infighting was all about. You are so prejudiced that you can't be bothered to listen to anything he says. How can you see what infighting was all about on the basis of this conversation. What rot Tahiti. Listen because I will only say this once. It is not racist to want our elected government to decide who shall have entry to the UK. |

Formerly, he presented the discussion programme Forum on Press TV, an Iranian news channel. He quit his show on the station on 30 June 2009 in protest at the Iranian regime's crushing of dissent after the country's presidential election of 12 June 2009. |

This vote is very important for the future of this country and the way you cast your vote should depend on more than your dislike of one man. |

From Ferrari's bio. He appears to put his money where his mouth is - in a convoluted analogy sort of way.

A woman a few weeks ago on NA's show was very annoyed with him and was ranting and when Nick asked where she got her information from she replied 'RT'. Nick just stopped short of laughing at her !!

Do we know if the same rules on partiality that apply in the run up to a GE will be in effect for the referendum ?

Insomnia last night and I found myself at the mercy of Christo. I am saying this, not as a wind-up, but as a genuine, not rhetorical, question: how on earth can someone this ignorant and incompetent as a broadcaster be employed by a National radio Station?

No, not as far as I know, Bangla. That is one truly 'sick' person

Worst More Conversation with Steve Allen In Conversation with Steve Allen I've ever heard. Ridiculous Irish author, Marian Keys saying "Yes! Yes! Yes!" endlessly as well as Mr Blobby telling us about his mothers funeral. Absolute rubbish.
