God forbid! The mods got so fed up with complaints about one particular detractor that they gave him his own thread and he still managed to get himself banned and the thread closed down.

Ian Payne said "Aren't you". Was he just trying to prove me wrong, or did he momentarily slip up?

Yes, not sure what talkRadio will have on. I suspect there will be a few "best ofs". But the style of talkRadio lends itself to being more festive (for want of a better word). Even political minds like ours need a break every now and then.

Looking at the TR website, Xmas Eve has nothing live from 6pm onwards, which I think is a real, real shame.

Perhaps Nick Abbot will spread some festive cheer by wearing a paper hat while he's whingeing on about Brexit and Trump.

Oh for the days of a festive phone-in ![]() I'm sure TalkSport is similar too. From Christmas Eve evening until about Boxing Day morning, it's usually just 'Press Play'! |

It is a shame, but talkSport is even more pre-recorded on Xmas Eve, by the look of it.
I know these are not charities, but LBC used to provide some company to lots of people who were alone at Xmas - they used to call in and say so - and I don't think it would destroy their station brand to have a bit of a change for a couple of days. |

It's a double-whammy loss for those who live alone and don't see anyone at xmas. Not only are they alone but now they don't have live talk to keep them company. One might as well be on a desert island listening to some tape recordings with one's last battery.
I have made sure I have loads of kindle books, since although there is two of us we don't see anyone over xmas either. Grown up kids have other places they want to be and neither of us have siblings or parents. I have a friend who is about to undergo her first xmas on her own with her husband and she asked me for tips. I advised her to do the same. She didn't realise the broadcast media all but shuts down on xmas day, since she's not had to use it before. |

Iain Dale's long-term producer is leaving LBC to join BBC's Newsnight. This is Iain's very moving tribute to him. |

I will actually be looking forward to the A-Z just to hear him talk about something else !!
Let us hope that he doesn't get stuck on 'B' - swiftly moving onto, 'T'...... ![]() Quote:
BurlyBeaR may have gone OTT at times, but always a livewire on the forum he could be very entertaining. Sadly missed.

nick ferrari, maajid nawaz, clive bull, JoB, kt Hopkins just cant help interrupting callers when they have a need to censor. i suppose its all about fake news. they call it freespeech.
anyway at least there is nick abbott - the only real host thats actually worth listening to. facts matter. .. and at least he does attempt to have opinion and facts. |

That's interesting. I don't agree at all. Unless you are talking about a drive for "numbers"?
After reading the very interesting comments above - about Matt Stadlen - (a presenter that I have hardly heard) I am starting to think that the owners of LBC are serious about political balance. In fact I now realise why my eyebrows momentarily twitched a couple of years ago when Shelagh Fogerty took over the 1pm slot. Quote:
Nick Abott is quite similar these days too
must be something in the water at lbc .Quote:
Phoebe is just the latest in a string of JOB haters.
The previous versions lacked the intellectual capacity to challenge any of the Liberal views expounded by JOB.....they just knew that they felt rage when they were "not listening" every weekday. And so....the dumbed down attacks on JOB (and sometimes the O'Brien family) started.Lots of posts with no relationship whatsoever to this thread or to the output of LBC. But it is always fun waiting for the next one. ![]() |

Isn't it good that Nick's Mum comes on here to support her son. There is no real need to as quite a lot of posters do like him anyway.

JoB is an aspirational middle class, middle england "right wing" , "christian" "zionist" (all things he's attributed to himself in the last month or so). he appears 'liberal' because so many of the other hosts are not. he appears left because his usp at lbc is that he's taking the role of the resident lefty (which he certainly isnt).
