J O'B has said he's going to cover the Croydon Cat Killer. He's going to stress the need of finding this maniac who seems unstoppable . I'm going to listen, for this reason alone.

What if he points to 2 examples of staggering Farage Hypocrisy.....that you are unable to counter.....for some reason?

What if half (or more) of the callers are not adoring and are desperate to lock horns with James O'Brien......and are put right at the front of the queue?

Jeez has that maniac not been caught yet?

I'd not heard of him until recently (James O Brien) but I think he's brilliant and all power to him.
I'd always turned off LBC as every time I took a mini cab, the driver had LBC (traffic updates presumably) and it always seemed to be right wing ranting, Nigel Farage stuff.

That the audience for BBC's Newsnight program has seen a very large fall.

I'd be marginally more comfortable with it if Lord Thomas had excused himself from the proceedings on the grounds of having a vested interest.

Thomas is one of the Founding Members of the European Law Institute, a non-profit organisation that conducts research, makes recommendations and provides practical guidance in the field of European legal development with a goal of enhancing the European legal integration.

He's just told a reasonable sounding caller: 'But you're not what I want this morning. I want to talk to people who are spitting nails.'

Presumably so he can spit them back!

He's now explaining to us what the caller was - in J O'Bs words - 'inarticulately trying to say.'

Nope! I can't understand why CCTV hasn't caught him out.
What he does to his victims is literally unprintable, except to say he leaves behind 'sick hallmarks' on their bodies.
I hope J O'B does a good job in highlighting the need of catching this psycho before he's tries his hand with small humans which is the fear in local news.

James O'Brien isn't in the strongest position to discuss anyone else's staggering hypocrisy.

I doubt they will be locking horns, they never normally are. Why would he change the habit of a lifetime? Well, it must seem like he has been spouting this guff for a lifetime.

I didn't listen to O'B yesterday at all. Too unbalanced (bit like when people paid to go and look / listen to the inmates at Bedlam Asylum). LBC tends to be on in the background but hearing good reports of Talk Radio. So think will give that a try from 10am, as I'm looking to hear from caller’s not endless spite from the Host.

I can always pop in here and rely on Bangla to give a balanced 24/7 report if needed of how well and many callers O'B managed to rip, squash and trivialise. Every so often it’s good to pop back to LBC to check on direction and will do, but they are losing me for this slot since listening pretty much since they started broadcasting.

So you are questioning the integrity of a judge?
Interesting.

He hasn't cut anyone off or shouted or patronised any caller today so far.
All calm and reasonable.

I really don't think it would give her a specific mandate to trigger Article 50. Like any General Election a political party sets out its manifesto which covers a number of subjects. You vote for the party that supports the majority of your views - however Brexit may not be one of them, but virtually everything else does. So you support the Conservatives, but the PM cannot say that the majority of voters supported Brexit.

No, I am not calling for another referendum, but just wonder how the expense of running another GE will solve anything.

The consensus seems to be that she will return with an increased majority, which will give her government more room to manoeuvre. London is a lost cause but there could be rich pickings in the north and there are even rumours that there's a possible Tory revival simmering in Scotland.

I'm not surprised because it sounds like the way he was going yesterday he was only heading one way, ... sacked and out of the doors.
A pity he's calmed down then.

I suppose so, yes.

Labour's Lisa Nandy said on BBCQT last night that her and other MP's like Hilary Benn would vote to trigger Article 50 even though they are Remainers. They just want a say in how Brexit is implemented.

The whole thing was a con.

They did imply they would abide by the decision and I think they want to. It wasn't the Government who took this to court. What I was saying was that an awful lot of people thought a referendum was a legally binding thing and the result would be absolute. I don't think many realised that it could be completely ignored if Parliament so wished.

For the record and I know it's totally off topic, even though I voted 'Remain' I could have just as easily voted to 'Leave' . I literally decided when I had the ballot paper in front of me, so I am really quite neutral to the whole thing.

How true!!!........the only 'angry' person that I heard yesterday was Gobber Jobber, his balding bonce must have been as purple as an old silk suit worn by Prince as he blasted his hate filled vitriol at anyone who could operate a telephone.
It was quite pathetic how JOB was trying to play 'good cop' during his intro, then suddenly reverted to 'bad cop' default by caller number four.

He thinks he is a serious journalist, yet doesn't realise that his constant, deliberate mis-use of 'Farridge' or 'Garridge' as it became yesterday makes him look like the weed smoking 14 year old trying to impress his mates 'round the back of the bike sheds.

I beg to differ !! I have heard that, 'calm and reasonable' tone before. It is patronising & sneering

He has already called one reasonable caller........ inarticulate.

Why does he have to return to this topic, again

Oh well, Happy Friday to everyone x

Good point they are certainly not, I believe they were probably biased from the start and more than likely voted to remain in the vote.
Three men in silly wigs denying what 17,410,742 people of his country had voted for in a legal nationwide democratic referendum, ... that's democracy for you. LAUGHABLE.

Wow, if you believe all judges are honest, law abiding, pillars of the community it will make you look like a naive sap

Take a look at Judge Constance Bristow........how do you rate her integrity?
