Steve and Don have been friends for many years
Don knows exactly what he's like and handles him accordingly And as this must be at least the fourth in conversation he's done with Steve he's obviously got no problem with him Love_You |

Did you catch his reports from Calais Richard? Excellent journalism I thought from TS.
When he does investigative stuff he is usually pretty good value BanglaRoad. .

Petrie did not mention 'Project Fear' in reply to Farage 's casual mention of Turkey's 70 million people being free to 'come over here' in case of Bremain. Clearly all scroungers just waiting to idle by on our benefits: http://twitter.com/conradhackett/sta...806276/photo/1

You got to laugh! Poor old Theo is spending Sunday afternoon hanging round outside the house of Boris. Hope he is on double time.

That's very nice for both of them. Unfortunately it doesn't make it any more interesting for the listener.
Love_You I was replying to the poster who was saying Don had put Steve in his place Several celebs who have been in including Celia Imrie have known him for just as long and they tend to treat it as a chat with a friend To be honest I think that the show suffers for two reasons Firstly with some guests twenty odd minutes (with adverts and news removed ) isn't enough to even scratch the surface And secondly since Global took control they don't allow music tracks or extracts of shows anymore something that made the programme more interesting Many of the guests don't float my boat but it's still an oasis in the middle of politics and health issues that saturate the rest of the LBC schedule |

Earlier on this afternoon, the travel reporter greeted us with "good evening" - perhaps she can predict the traffic situation for later today!

Listening to James O' Brien last week was bizarre. He seems to have brought his strongly held personal belief regarding religion, particularly Christian, and tried to spin it into a logical argument that couples with kids should always marry, and kids of divorced parents, or those who only have one parent be it through death etc, turn out to be worthless, more or less. And shoehorning his love for the Pope and his supporters into some bizarre argument about idiot Trump, that no one in their right mind would take seriously or is bothered about.
It has always struck me that his stint on LBC was some kind of ongoing audition for the BBC Newsnight job which he craves so deeply, so he needs to be seen as a "right on Lefty" But he has to be a joke, he will close down any discussion/caller that he doesn't agree with, while fading them out and then insulting them when then are gone. He is one of the most unprofessional, biased DJs I've ever heard. And that's all he is a DJ, not an open mined, professional journalist. He will only let callers who agree with him say their piece, but will instantly talk over sarcastically and then fade down those who aren't in agreement with his one sided myopic view of the world. I know he gets a lot ignorant hateful nuts calling his show, who should be screened and not let on air, but there are intelligent, interesting educated people who have a different point of view, who get on air. But in James' world though, they are all wrong and he's right. Rude, arrogant and close minded, all in a days ratings/ranting for James. "Phone now, you will get through"... To an idiot |
