Hopkins has already apologised for it - the dangers of retweeting without checking.
Have you never regretted some of your posts on here after the event - post the edit window?

Not about me Marty.
Now if Hopkins is stupid enough to retweets nazi praise that's her look out. Surely the swastika was a bit of a giveaway?
Wonder if this latest incident may cause lbc to reconsider her employment?

No, I'm not saying it didn't happen. I saw the tweet and it was stupid of her to retweet it. I was commenting on Huff Post's output in general.

I disagree. "People that" is not grammatically incorrect especially when used to refer to people in general and not to a specific individual or individuals. "People who" is also correct.
Cristo regularly expressed his love for Thatcher and her right wing policies, he often attacked unions for taking legitimate action when they had a grievance with their employer and he often attacked the BBC for being left wing (even though independent research suggests it isn't). There are other examples which lead me to consider Cristo as being right wing.
We are going to disagree on Matt Stradlen because so far I think he is a good addition to LBC.

Ah thought that deflection would be the reason rather than denial.

Not the first time she puts out controversial statements on twitter though ?

I don't understand what you mean. I don't defend anybody, no matter how I usually feel about them, if I think they're wrong. She was wrong. I'm neither denying nor defending her, Please don't put your own interpretation on what I post.
That was a very powerful condemnation of Corbym's Labour party by the wife of an ex-Labour chief whip.

A reasonable assumption for me to make gs.
Your first contribution made no comment on the story but was an opinion on the source.
As the story was about a lbc presenter on a lbc thread the fact you commented on the source rather than the story was rather strange.

Was that the Jewish woman?

I can see why many will get upset at his attitude. I don't know his personal circumstances of course but at times he does a very good job of coming across as a wealthy, middle class man who is completely detatched from the realities of the world. He's always talking over callers and just seems to love the sound of his own voice. He does these long talks but gets very boring.
That night was worse than usual because he was completely dismissing the experiences of multiple callers who disagreed with him because they had suffered because of depressed wages while taking the word of one single caller who worked at McDonalds for gospel because that caller agreed with him.

I don't know if she's Jewish. She was certainly very upset and angered by what she sees as anti-semitism in the current Labour party.
Morning all.

Well quite a lot of the content of his show is telling us what he likes to eat, he would not be surprised to hear that a few comments have been posted online.
James O'Brian returns today so all bets are off in respect of most other LBC presenters.🤕

Sadly, yes. Some of us think it's highly entertaining. He spent most of the hour I heard describing what sounds like his unhealthy food choices and condemning celebs who give advice on exercise and diet. He's got Tom Daley coming in today to record an In Conversation plugging his new book on healthy eating!
The food discussion kicked-off yesterday because I was mystified by Steve, at his age, having a thing about toffee apples. I'm always left gobsmacked by his food choices.

Do you remember the time Steve had a live lobster in the boot of his car? He couldn't prepare it and never ate it
, after leaving it to one of his team to cook the thing?

Oh God, yes! Unless it was one of his 'fibs'.

I don't normally listen to Matt Stadlen - but your last paragraph is entirely accurate about the discussion on that particular night.
I am delighted to have Nick F back 🌞....And.....are we all waiting with baited breath for James' monologue/lecture ?? 😉
Enjoy your Tuesday, everyone x
5 minutes in and 0Brain has already dubbed UKIP as a party founded almost exclusively on race hatred and Trump is a Kremlin stooge. All that bile built up over Christmas with no outlet until today.

What did you expect to hear from him, would just a few days change [anyone's] outlook when they hold such strong opinions?
