Peddling fear, and inflammatory speech is J O'B's forte.

Are sending these an offence now?

No....as I said when I first posted a few weeks back I've been absent so missed that particular gem......

You may have a different sense of humour that's fine....

but of course it's about LBC and their regular and relief presenters... Katie made a quip on air... ON LBC... that JOB had thrown his toys out and she was shelaghh not JOB....
I cannot possibly see how you think it's not to do with LBC you just don't like it that's all...

I stopped posting on this thread because of posters such as yourself.

You seem to take offence where often none is meant.

This thread ONCE was an LBC Chit-Chat one, NOW it has become nothing more than a nasty point-scoring one.

And don't try to goad me as I know you are never satisfied until you have had the final say.”




I too stoppped posting because of this snarling attitude by certain posters. Childish and tedious and oh so predictable.

But what the hell, Wolfie is back and if anyone can bring the thread back to what it once was then he can.
Welcome back Wolfie and a very happy New Year to you and fellow posters other than the attack dogs who hopefully will find better things to do.
Preferably elsewhere.

“Many thanks to those who have defended my use of the word 'snowflake', I wasn't aware of it having either racist or political connotations. Perhaps I should have said 'millennials', which I believe is roughly the same thing; over-protected, ultra-sensitive young adults whose sense of privilege and belief in their own intellectual superiority renders them incapable of coping with not getting their own way. They are especially good at taking offence, on both their own and other's behalf.

Incidentally, LL, I'm a 'she'.”


Thanks GS been a while so couldn't remember but least I know you won't be offended if I got it wrong
No problem supporting you but you don't have to apologise at all - it is NOT racist as I showed in the Collins dictionary definition & this is also not the political thread where they have had such talk apparently......
I think millennial would be incorrect and the right term....

As you haven't replied to my definition I can assume you've accepted GS wasn't racist either as the Collins dictionary defined....

you may have used it in the politics thread with others in such a context but......
a) that is clearly wrong, especially more so in the way gurney used it....and b) that was there, this is here............

I was listening to that Katie Hopkins today and I thought, you know, she sounds a really stupid person.

I thought this when she was CBB, when she was arguing with Keith Chegwin. I thought she was really thick. Not putting on an act. Really, there is nothing much going on in her head.

You can hear this when she's on LBC. She puts on this stupid voice, and anyone who challenges her she tries to belittle the caller/s by again putting on a silly voice.

In simple terms she is just someone who got very lucky. Only made famous by people in the media who used to print her inane comments. I mean the comments only existed to propel her into 'media stardom. But now she's there she is like the Emperor with no clothes.

We see the absolutely vapid person she is.

Oh I am also confident that Wolfie will make this thread what it once was.
Good to be able to agree on something.

Are you sensitive to such things?? (hint)

Surely you can understand that the use of the word "snowflake" is usually suggesting a delicate/sensitive nature....which is why it is so amusing when it backfires....either in the Politics section of this forum or in the section chatting about Leading Britain's Political Conversation.

I seem to recall that that you were a bit "sensitive" about suggestions that James O'Brien.....a man who sees his Volvo as no more than transport....may be slightly more in tune with the 21st Century than a "Petrol head".
Is that correct Snowflake?

I feel certain that the highly intelligent gurney-slade is perfectly capable of understanding that her phrase "snowflakes crouched in their safe spaces" is a mild insult without any need for "analysis" from someone called lord loz....LOL.

The thread will have to decide.
The past year or so has seen a mixture of chit-chat and also discussion relating to the daily output of Leading Britain's Political Conversation. Not perfect, but not bad.

In the period before that.....not so much.
More like an obsession with one man and his family.

Whoever she employed as an agent has done wonderful work.
For someone with no great talent for anything much, Hopkins has managed to make a very nice living.
It was a master stroke of her agent to take the dominating part of her personality I. e. the ability to be horrible and realise there was a market out there just waiting for somebody horrible to give them a figurehead.
Marketing at its best.

Against the odds, I listened to her a bit while driving as I sadly didn't have the talkRADIO alternative with no DAB in the car.

Despite some previous posts on her claiming she was polite to callers, I found her anything but. So IMO, not only is she someone who's cultivated a deeply unpleasant personality to make money out of, she was also a very poor presenter who cajoled callers who disagreed with her.

LBC's drive towards angry radio at all times is very depressing...

I find yours and Bangla's obsession with Wolfie's posts more baffling than his obsession with JOB tbh ....

Is there a list of posters that we aren't supposed to respond to?
Maybe your idea of obsessive behaviour is different to mine but since you mentioned me by name then am sure you will explain.

I realise that.
You see the response to the obsession.......that almost destroyed the thread........before you see the obsession.
That is what happens in a post fact world. The wood and the trees merge.

But to be clear....I rank your thoughts and contribution 100 places above a poster who says: "Whoopee! the obsession is back "

Perhaps you could give specific post numbers?
If you are going to insinuate that some posters are attack dogs then it's the last you could do.

Landis, with the greatest of respect, you don't need to pontificate. J O'B does enough of that for you.

Lighten up Bangla, 'tis Christmas remember. Goodwill to all men, and beasts respectively. The Belgian Malinois is a smasher of a dog, very intelligent, never to be underestimated.
