This is Downton Abbey.
This is a radio show and if you call in and are clearly talking rubbish then I want the host to tell them that instead of indulging their idiocy.
But of course it's JOB on now so when he does this the he is a bad man. When Ferarri does it then it's all good fun and isn't Nick clever.

I think JOB has the right topic.

But if a Child Footballer called "Nick" rings the helpline will they look for inconsistencies in the story?
Even though the CPS say that victims of child abuse are "damaged"....and will display inconsistencies....

Re Nick Ferrari ...



When referring to James O'Brien ...



You do realise you do exactly the same thing as you accuse Ferrari fans of doing ??

Oh to have a contrary view that doesn't agree with Bangla ...

There is a big difference between telling somebody they are talking rubbish to their face, if you can do that on radio and pretending to eat a fiver.

The whole retrospective child abuse inquiry has got out of hand: DJs, politicians, priests, now sports coaches. Of course it should be investigated and, where possible, the offenders punished, but the police force must be deploying more and more officers who should be in pursuit of current criminals. A special force should be set up to investigate the claims, liaising with, but not attached to, the police and not being paid for out of their budget.

No ... there's not. Still ridiculing someone's else's opinion.

(Not that I'm personally bothered by that. Micky taking makes the world go round and makes things more entertaining, but Ferrari and O'Brien are cut from the same cloth. Just different political views.)

Very strange that he began the show by announcing that he is a christian and lives by the 'love thy neighbour' moral - he then proceeded to demonstrate the complete opposite even telling one caller that he didn't believe him.

He is like the christians who preach in town centres and call people sinners as they walk past.

JOB is just plain rude and frankly obnoxious to many callers - and it's a continuous Occurrence. Ferrari and the other LBC hosts may not agree with callers but they usually give them a fair chance to get their view across.

Ferrari is a light show mostly - JOB is just rant rant rant and rudeness rudeness rudeness.

Wait til JOB et al get hold of the latest from one of the brexit bus drivers.
We've already had the wisdom of Boris on FoM and now Double D Davis is making very strange murmurings about the single market.

If you're referring to that part of GS's post that says JOB "could have pointed out the error" of what a caller is saying more courteously, then yes, you're right:: JOB didn't do that. He could've, but chose not to.

If you're referring to that part of GS's post that refers to JOB "sounding like a school bully" as a result of choosing not to use courtesy to point out the error of the caller, then no, you're wrong. GS didn't say JOB was a schoolbully, but that he sounded like one.

As for NF, the caller who initiated the £5 petition was reasonable in his response. He said that the petition simply asked that the BoE consider and source out non-animal based alternatives to use when printing out any new money notes in future. Every other caller after that and NF then engaged in farcical point-scoring. And yes, I say farcical because if we are going to say that some of the reasons offered by callers as evidence of Christian censorship justify JOB's scorn, then some of the reasons offered by callers as evidence of religious, vegan and vegetarian violations justify NF's scorn.

None of these reasons are evidences to stop any of these callers from being and living their lives as Sikhs, Christian, Vegans or Vegetarians - i.e. you don't cease being/living as a Christian (or prevented from being/living as one) because of a bit of shiny tinsle or a change in name from Christmas to Winterland (besides, if we are to make a point of it: Easter should be the more important festival for Christians than this Dec period that has slowly become a commerical monstrosity over the decades); you don't cease being/living (or prevented from being/living) as a Vegan because of a bit of animal fat (which probably makes up 0.000001% of all ingredients and chemicals in the new £5 note) in a bit of paper you have to handle.

The day Christians in this country begin to suffer as those did in the 1st century church (literally hunted down, rounded up, imprisoned, tortured, and killed for their faith) or in countries that forbid its practice on point of death, then I'll say we Christians are being prosecuted. Then again, I also don't read Peter, Paul and all the other apostles making a big song and dance over their prosecution in Rome: rather, as per the Sermon of the Mount, Christ called it a blessing for far deeper spiritual reasons that some so-called Christians seem to have difficulty grasping/understanding.

Howdy Marty.
You're one of the non listening listeners aren't You?
If you had listened today you would have heard every caller given several chances to clarify what they were saying.
Not the hosts fault if they were incapable of doing this.

Did James O'Brien cut him off as well or did he content himself with rudeness and abuse?

He told him he was coming round his house to steal his car and break his windows!
Shame you don't listen as you would have really enjoyed it.

On that basis should we all now avoid Chiswick High Street?

I really hate that. I can't bear to listen. It comes a close second to watching paint dry.

I think we will be ok for the moment. When he retires though and has time on his hands...

Precisely.

JoB comes across as an egotistical, small minded fool amongst other things.

Is this his real persona or is it mostly trolling?

His real persona is a Liberal outlook and has been for the whole of the period I have been listening.

I know many Liberal minded people and it is clear to me from their actions and their thoughts that they are morally superior human beings. Even if they don't know it.
Random example: Empathy not based on Geography.

Perhaps i should have changed my new habit and tuned in to JOB today.

When studying for my Adult Teaching qualification in a particularly right-on, liberal suburb of London, we were told quite clearly that wishing another member of staff or pupil 'Happy Christmas' was a disciplinary offence and we would receive a written warning if overheard.
I still have my written notes to prove it.

So what you're saying is that anyone who doesn't agree with you is just plain wrong. Erm... isn't that precisely your complaint about JOB...?

"I want the host to tell them that instead of indulging their idiocy."

That seems to be your description of pretty much everyone who calls James O'Brien and disagrees with him. I have pointed out before your habit of calling them idiots.

But you don't listen so why should I listen to what you have to say about JOB?
The callers in the first hour were idiots IMO but since you don't listen to the show then you can't really form an opinion on what was said today.
I really don't care what a non listener has to tell me about something I've actually heard for myself.

I'm currently listening to the Clive Bull show and just out of interest can anyone tell me which way Clive Bull voted in the EU referendum did he ever go public?.

I have a view how he voted but would like it confirming if anyone knows.

How did you stand it? Your lecturers must have been prancing pr***s
However I do know a Jehovah's witness who tore up someone's Christmas card.
