Very rare listener to Ian Dale and it's good to hear the sensible voice of the brexit side.
He's my favourite presenter on LBC Bangla always so professional, speaks intelligently, tries to be fair to all and has a wonderful pleasing voice.

MotorMouth who's on at 10am should take lessons.

If you didn't watch it tonight, i'd like to recommend this. Sharp, funny, incisive, it's the best cynically humorous take on politics since Spitting Image. If you're quick you can record the repeat at 0.1.55 or watch on iPlayer.

Did you get your Ofcom complaint about James O'Brien in last Thursday Chief Wiggum?

Was what he said much different to how the judges were described by the Mail et al? 'Cos I don't see rhyming 'Farage' with 'Garage' as worse than singling out a man's sexuality whilst drubbing him?
Yes, I was listening to it in the workplace and we all sent off separate complaints to Ofcom as we were all dismayed by the hate speech being preached by the 10am incumbent.

I don't see why I should post my email to Ofcom here for you to nitpick.

The quote here from O'Brien is the essential one: "“If you’re still clinging to the notion that you voted to leave the European Union in possession of anything that remotely resembles the facts, well I can’t help you, you need to listen to something else. Go and put on some propagandist, because if you think you voted in possession of truth, honesty and facts then you’re a banana, whether you’re a bent one or a straight one is a conversation for another day.”"

This, along with the hour O'Brien did on the court case, is a clear breach of rule 5.9 of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, which states:

"5.9 Presenters of "personal view" or "authored" programmes or items, and chairs of discussion programmes may express their own views on matters of political or industrial controversy or matters relating to current public policy. However, alternative viewpoints must be adequately represented in the programme. Additionally, presenters must not use the advantage of regular appearances to promote their views in a way that compromises the requirement for due impartiality. Presenter phone-ins must encourage and must not exclude alternative views."

What part of that did you think he broke?

on that basis ofcom will have to close down lbc considering its overwhelming pro ukip pro brexit anti islam anti immigrant broadcasting agenda.

so this week ive learnt that kt hopkins is female & atheist zionist , obrien is the male christian zionist , and maajid nawaz is the brown muslim zionist, iain dale the gay zionist etc .. its curious how each one of lbc broadcasters have professed their belief in zionism.

also learnt that obrien is stashing marmite and gold bars in a bid to beat brexit fallout.

and learnt that whereas katie hopkins feels she doesnt need any cover for her anti islam sentiments - obrien hides behind supposed cultural affectations of muslims that enables an anti islam sentiment.

Ian Collins was shocking last night. He is OK discussing benign topics - maybe 5p Carrier Bags in Supermarkets.....or How Many Different Wheelie Bins Should We Have.

We have 2 new presenters on LBC. Matt Fry and Maajid Nawaz. Both of them (and Andrew Pearce) have pushed Ian Collins down the LBC pecking order and both have raised the bar considerably. (I have not heard enough of Matt Stadlen to comment).
Ian Collins should listen to Ian Payne. An excellent broadcaster who knows his limitations and tackles serious topics (Brexit....the USA Election) with a slightly self depreciating style.

Collins is seemingly not aware of his limitations and a serious topic quickly drifts into little angry snipes against so called Liberal Elites and "Snowflakes".
A Snowflake is an object that is so lightweight it barely exists. Ian Collins is a Snowflake presenter.
theyre all below average much of a muchness .. the monotone of lbc narrative is the grooming of a demographic that supports ukip and its extreme ideology.

I wonder if Nick Abbot will make his way over to talkradio at some point. Seems increasingly out of place with the rest of the presenter line up and format at LBC.

Would be great to see him somewhere where the format is a bit more presenter personality led, and no so narrow format driven.

talkradio has a better mix, more variety and creativity .. hed fit in better there .. i'd dump lbc altogether if he did. lbc is far too toxic.

Good work Chief, let's hope you get the filth at worst censured and at best sacked off.

Please could LBC tone down the hyperbole "once in a generation" comes up too much regarding the US election, all of four years ago It was a "once in a generation" thing.

Seconded I'd like my 10.00am-1.00pm LBC slot back although I do like Julia Hartley-Brewer now I've gotten into her. [er, I mean of course in a listening sense AHEM]

My only big problem with O'Brien getting the sack would be he'd probably resurface at somewhere like talkRADIO and his circus act would restart all over again because let's face he ain't ever going to make it on television after voluntarily making himself almost toxic.

BIB Surely there can be no argument that he is in breach of that clause on a regular basis

That's a shame. Aren't you confident in it's wording? Did you include the 'Farage / Garage' complaint?

"5.9 Presenters of "personal view" or "authored" programmes or items, and chairs of discussion programmes may express their own views on matters of political or industrial controversy or matters relating to current public policy. However, alternative viewpoints must be adequately represented in the programme. Additionally, presenters must not use the advantage of regular appearances to promote their views in a way that compromises the requirement for due impartiality. Presenter phone-ins must encourage and must not exclude alternative views."
Callers rang up to challenge him. Alternative view served.

Really, this odd complaint of yours could apply to any presenter on LBC who takes a position on any story to provoke discussion. Which is at the start of nearly every hour in the day!

So why single out just this one? Other than your well documented personal dislike of James O'Brien, and the presumption that you are characterized in the group he described?

Tom Hanks gives LBC his opinion on Trump,"he's a self-serving gas bag".
Can't argue with that!

Tom talking about himself. Same with Robert De Niro saying he'd like to punch Trump in the face.

These people show themselves up to be more disgusting than Trump.

It's like they swallowed a thesaurus of the most vile words you could call someone.

I didn't catch that either. It sounded muffled to me but my hearing is very bad so it could have been me.

I enjoyed watching this earlier and thought I'd share it seeing as today is The Day.

Not a fan of Trump at all, but Ferrari's show this morning has essentially been an anti-Trump propaganda piece. I know LBC has no obligation to be neutral like the BBC, but even so, I expected a little more balance from their US coverage.

Japanese tsunami, baby seals dead, all the fault of Hillary Clinton.
So says caller to NF.
You are right, that's probably the most unbalanced call lbc have ever had.

5.9 is a easy rule to keep on the right side of, providing he had callers on that gave the opposite view to him no matter how much they were interupted then no rule has been broken there. He quite regularly says on his show "I'm willing to be proven wrong" or "If you think different your wrong, but i want to hear your view." as a result he is encouraging a different view to be made.

Aw don't come on here speaking common sense and pointing out the obvious and being rational.
Much more fun reading angry posts about the outrage of hearing views they don't like even though they switch off at 10am

Okay, I admit defeat! I switched off before the Lady Ga Ga announcement as to which way she is voting. Do I care ? Only because NF has been going on about it all morning. Otherwise no. No more than I care which way Donny Osmond votes.
