2017 and the usual dire warnings on NHS. Is it time we had a referendum on what we want and how to pay for it? @LBC
I see Shelagh is starting 2017 as she means to go on by discussing one of her two subjects. I imagine this means we will have some sort of topic relating to her Catholicism or Islam tomorrow. And back to the NHS on Thursday. I would hope that we don't have a referendum on the funding of the NHS, if that one didn't go the way that Shelagh and Brian hoped they would spontaneously combust. How long until LBC give Lily Allen a show? |

Oh Bryan! back and immediately demonstrating the concrete contents of his skull with his expression of mystification about lesser-infiltrated areas being the most likely to show resistance to further immigration.
I will keep making this point until it finally sinks in with him, (and other LibFascists). In areas like mine – Kent seaside – there are relatively few foreigners and life can be led – in a local sense at least – as in previous, happier times, free from the oppressive shadows as such as ‘multiculturism’, diversity, enforced normalisation of abnormal practices, aggressive feminism, etc. Having a way of life we value and enjoy, we are naturally fearful of losing it – thus the expression of negativity towards immigration. I appreciate that in London, especially, that way of life was swept away years ago by the sheer volume of foreign incomers, and many inhabitants there have no experience of what a great capital – of England – it used to be. Equally, many young people by now will have grown up in the recently-dominant LibFascist culture and will have little reason to challenge the milieu, having no personal experience of an alternative, traditional political climate. |

His morning rants are becoming rather monotonous and oh so predictable. He was saying yet again this morning that the number of migrants coming here doesn't lower peoples' wages in the UK ? !
Two weeks of festivities have not mellowed his attitude......it's almost as if it was two weeks of utter frustration for him, unable to sound off against 'Farridge', Brexit & Trump. Gobbers topics are becoming so limited, surely listeners will look for an alternative if he continues in the same vein he has adopted since June 2016.......now, where is JHB on the dial 😩 * |

Hi there Tahiti I notice you have your location as Los Angeles. Tell me as I go there fairly often myself where do you get your copy of the Mail. There are never any English newspapers to be had anywhere near Pasadena. You anywhere near there?
I really miss my paper when I am there the on line stuff is not the same. I can't get interested in the LA Times either you won't find any UK news in it even if we were to have an earthquake. |

How did Farage get on last night? I'm rather Faraged out at the moment so will be listening to Iain Lee over on TalkRadio from 10pm this week. |

I have not heard anyone suggesting that, neither have I heard JOB objecting to that strawman anyway.
Facts or quotes aren't needed now, just keep trotting out the same old lies and the myth spreads. Try asking when this was alleged to have been said by JOB You won't get a date or a time or a quote. |

I don't think that is true. I have not heard anyone else go on like him with the hate against people he personally dislikes. A good presenter should rise above this .
It is true to say I don't listen 24/7. |

With regard to your problem with "foreigners"..... It is clear that you have imagined the instances of aggressive feminism that occur in everyday life, so we are left to wonder what else is not real.

..and as if by magic, Socialist Shelagh from the parish of Widdecombe is starting to talk about her religion. I've no idea why she thinks anyone is even remotely interested in her weird ideas.

Fair enough, but you'll understand that I'm going to disagree with you. I find Collins and Ferrari odious and vile and full of all the things that JOB gets accused of on here.
I recall an occasion about a year ago when he was discussing the increase in anti-Semitic attacks in the UK. A Jewish man phoned in relay a story about how he was spat at and verbally abused while walking in the Edgware Road area. Ian Collins' reply was "Edgware Road has a high Muslim population". The caller informed Mr Collins that the perpetrator was a white English guy. He still could have been a white English Muslim but for Ian Collins to immediately imply that he thought the person responsible was Muslim is typical of his anti-Muslim views which come to the fore from time to time. If you're looking for a hate-filled LBC presenter, look no further than Ian Collins. |

Do you think the output of Hopkins, Farage, Ferrari and the rest of the Daily Mail clones is any more varied ?
1) He is far more dismissive of a caller who has an opposing view 2) He becomes far more vitriolic, to the point of verbal bullying and humiliation 3) He lacks the ability to have a 'conversation', he only does 'verbal duelling' Compare his style with say Iain Dale and Shelagh Fogarty, who do try to engage the caller and see and understand another viewpoint. That is why Gobber is becoming so dull these days, you know what the topics are going to be and you know his stance.......it's like 'Radio Groundhog Day' which doesn't make good listening for the customer 😩 |

In any case, like all presenters, he doesn't always act like the above anyway. They all have their moments, good and bad. |

I think there are some similarities, however where Gobber differs from other presenters IMHO is;

A few people are tweeting about music intruding into LBC at 3.10pm, Black Eyed Peas according to one. I didn't hear it on DAB.

Katie Hopkins love or loathe her has very strong views which she is not averse to articulating. However she is a better listen and is not nasty to her callers. |

Poor old Brian always says that he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories but then starts talking about conspiracy theories about Trump and Russia. He still cannot accept that his worldview isn't shared by people who voted for Brexit and Trump. He is always preaching about tolerance but is one of the most intolerant presenters on the station. Has he called anyone else a "Nazi" yet this week? Very strange behaviour but always good to hear him become more discombobulated and continue selling tickets for the ghost train. His show isn't buttering any parsnips with me this morning. Shut the front door!

Poor old Brian is having one of his tantrums on Twitter and talking about Hitler again. He's getting worse than dear Ken for these outbursts. It's worrying. Why has he started comparing everyone who disagrees with him to the Nazis? It's all rather extreme and childish.
A great shame not to hear Mr Livingstone on LBC with Mr Mellor anymore, i very much enjoyed the pairing. |

Didn't hear any of your three points being displayed today by JOB.
I didn't listen to the whole show, but heard plenty of it, even when he was doing the "Marriage/Living together" debate..........I don't think he can stop himself. He was quite flippant and off hand with callers. Gobber only ever seems to discuss the following; Trump 'Farridge' Brexit Marriage Drugs I seem to remember him jumping on the paedo train a while ago and being a big supporter of Labours Tom Watson and giving a lot of airtime to the alleged establishment paedo rings. That particular theme got a lot of coverage, rightly so........until the wheels came off when it was realised that the accuser 'Nick' was not a credible source but a 'certifiable loony tune' as one commentator described him. Interesting though that Gobber gave a minuscule fraction of airtime to the Pakistani grooming gangs in Rochdale, Bradford & Birmingham involving thousands of abused white girls by hundreds of men..............can't think why? |

Shelagh has just had someone talking sense about sugar and artificial sweeteners just now. I hope people take on board what he said about aspartame. Dreadful stuff.
