'The voice of reason', most definitely. T'other is your own accolade 😀😜
I was pleased to hear my new favourite Ian Payne was in for SF - but changed my mind when he announced his topic of......'Hard or soft Brexit.' 😟
So sad to hear of the loss of Jill Saward at such a young age.

I have noticed that you often fail to engage in discussion even when you are directly addressed and I now realise that this truly is a blessing.
I have no idea about Fogarty's Politics.
If accusing her of being a Socialist is based entirely on the fact that she used to work for the BBC this seems flimsy.
When BBC journalists went on strike Fogarty crossed picket lines to broadcast as normal. That is emphatically not the behaviour of a true Socialist.

Does the sexuality of a radio presenter bother you?
What in your considered opinion would be the right number of foreign calls taken?

Judging by her radio output, i have compiled a shortlist of Fogarty's Priorities:
1. Catholicism.
2. BBC Groupthink.
3. NHS.
4. Socialism.
Looks highly likely her devotion to the BBC at the time of the incident mentioned trumped (no pun intended) her personal far left political views.

Who today cares about facts ar anything remotely resembling the truth? It's all about certain FM's perceptions. no matter how severely bigoted, warped or removed from reality they just happen to be.
"If accusing her of being a Socialist is based entirely on the fact that she used to work for the BBC this seems flimsy."
Agreed-on that basis, Jeremy Clarkson's a socialist!
That said I think the poster is saying it with their tongue in their cheek-to a degree, at least.
Interesting discussion with Iain at the moment, re Jamie Oliver. Personally I voted 'remain', though I agree with Iain that Jamie is overreacting by closing his restaurant.

Good post for your first post.

I personally reckon it's his own choice to stick to just the 1 hour, he's done 3 hours for the past 4 nights after all-and although I'm not a fan he's a big name, so if he wanted a 2 or 3 hour show I expect LBC management would give him one.
An hour long show on LBC gives him the flexibility to do other things (on both sides of the Atlantic) while giving him a guarantied platform. It also means if he's away, they could easily extend either Iain or Clive to cover for him.
Personally I wish they'd given him Saturday mornings and teamed him up with a left-of-centre politician for him to bounce off of. I do wonder if he'll continue to cover for Frey and Hopkins when either of them are away.

Thanks for the kind words-though I confess I'm a long-term lurker.

I suspect that you are right. I doubt Farage would want the commitment of a three hour show, four days a week. He can bluff his way through a one hour show. From LBC's point of view, they seem to be hoping that people will be pulled in by Farage and stay for Clive Bull. James Whale on Talkradio seems to have them concerned.

Hi, welcome!
I think he'd have a problem sustaining a three-hour slot for four nights a week. He is a bit of a one-trick pony. One hour is just enough time for him to cover any political points that have cropped up during the previous 24-hours. And as he'll be broadcasting from wherever he is - London, Brussels, US - there should be a variety of topics.
"I was pleased to hear my new favourite Ian Payne was in for SF - but changed my mind when he announced his topic of......'Hard or soft Brexit.'".
I sympathise-the trouble I have with a lot of brexit discussions is they all too easily descend into insults (brexit maniac, remoner, brextremist and the like).

I couldn't agree more regarding your last paragraph Nigel teamed up with someone with different political persuasion on Saturday mornings would have even outshone Mellor & Livingstone and would have been a great listen.
Missed a trick here.
Jamie Oliver announces he's closing six of his restaurants "due to Brexit" on the same day as the Bank of England announces Britain has the best and fastest growing financial economy in the entire world.
You couldn't make it up.

Farage & Galloway?
OK they were both on the brexit side but everything else there is a big divide.
Or Tommy Sheridan He's good value on the radio.

Jamie Oliver is closing restaurants because they are rubbish.... Iain Dale totally nailed it, I know Tunbridge Wells reasonably well but not as well as him.
The layout of places especially around the Pantiles is difficult and parking tricky to get close in the High St. Footfall would be a major problem and as he said it's a very crowded market and there are a couple of very good independents there (one Italian too if I recall). TW is a very wealthy area but people aren't daft with their money and want value.
Pizza Express, Zizzi, Bella Italia etc. etc. all chains who at least do it better (though not fantastic) but for less money.
Carluccio's is overpriced for what it is... but not as much as Jamie's............
where you get a Pizza for £12.00 and then burger at £10.95 and then 3 chips in a bucket for £13.95.....that's bad enough but when Byron's and GBK are doing it better that's then begs the point what the hell are burgers and fries doing on an Italian menu?
mixed marketing messages to customers, poor service, duff locations and either do Italian very very well or do burgers very well...like the not what it once was and sadly lamented Ed's or the new chains to UK like 5 guys and fries.... who are expanding not closing.....
that's the cause ...not Brexit..... as the majority of Iain's callers testified actually...

I believe you're right. To make political capital out of the death of Jill Saward by referencing Trump during the discourse, is a gross correlation IMO, sensitivity is truly lacking on J O'B's part. Quelle surprise!

I wouldn't worry about Jamie. Forget Brexit, he works to a plan set for him. The restuarants are just collateral damage and part of the overall image requirement he can probably now move on from. Main push is to keep him promient, likeable and media marketable which he is good at.

Well have to say he (JOB) suckered me in, I thought we were going to get a non Trump, Brexit, Farage call in on a serious and sad subject. However as my post then (13,747) he digustingly used this as an opportunity in the first half hour to attack and associate Trump with rape, racism etc. Stopped listening then, so no idea whether he managed to get more in on his other bugs.
