steve allen is a really weird man, he can be entertaining for the most part but there is this side to him which is really irratating. like when he slags off his listeners who challenge him on things he says, he just cannot take any kind of criticism - even constructive criticism or even a comment he disgarees with. and when he keeps going on about blocking people from twitter and on lbc comments. he repeats this many times a day, every day. he says he is not bothered by it, but he clearly is. i lost count the amount of times he goes on about james o'brien putting all his trolls in a book. both steve and o'brien must be really affected by what others say, it cuts into them. the thing that i find odd is that both o'brien and steve have chosen to be in an industry where people have an opinion about what steve and o'brien have to say and they don't like to hear what the listeners have to say, they just block it out like a schoolgirl putting her hands over her ears and going, 'not listening, not listening'. also, steve really irritates me when he keeps saying anyone who has a different opinion to him has no friends, he says 'they're lonely people' not their fault'. so boring. change the record steve.

I've just tuned in to hear an argument about virtue signaling. What is that? Where does Iain Dale get this stuff from, Twitter?

Virtue signally is just that - signalling your virtue. It's prevalent among celebs and politicians who think it's their job to tell us that we should do what they consider to be the right thing, at the same time demonstrating to the world how compassionate they are. They tend to be wealthy and live in large houses which they have no intention of filling with the homeless people they are urging to help. They are prone to tweeting pictures of themselves signalling their virtue. It's Yvette Cooper holding a placard saying 'Refugees Welcome'. it's Charlotte Church heading protest marches against austerity; it's Jude Law making a high profile visit to the Calais jungle.

Ian dale is right the bearded children are not safe in the backward EU countries they are living in, how the hell did these small defenceless bearded children manage to get to the EU.

I quite like listening to Ken Livingstone but after his nonsense about anti semitism in the Labour Party and Naz Shah during his conversation with Iain Dale, I am fast losing respect for the man.
"In the 47 years I've been in the Labour Party, I've not heard (anyone saying) anything anti-semitic."c Ken, I think you suffer from a selective hearing disorder. http://www.lbc.co.uk/ken-defends-naz...ism-row-129493 It seems Ken can get on any program and say any old rubbish, who is he to ponfiticate on things in the name of the Labour Party. |

Can anyone explain the phenomenon of JOB getting the Newsnight "Gig" (a JOB'ism for "job").
Whether you love or hate him, it is hard to disagree with the fact that he is not a typical BBC presenter. When you consider all Newsnight presenters, old and new, he stands quite separate eg, very vocal left wing views (impartial BBC?), known to be quite unpleasant and rude to callers he disagrees with on his LBC program, has hosted a rubbish failed daytime ITV program and has a very deadpan presenting style. Not sure what went on with the Jeremy Hunt interview, but it was bizarre with them both standing up and JOB sweating a lot. He said it was a condition imposed by Jeremy Hunt but I suspect Paxman would have just refused. Am I missing something? |

Listening to Ken Livingstone over the past few weeks poping up now and then as he cant broadcast due to rulings over elections l think he shouldn't be able to return too LBC. His views don't represent the listeners even though you got to have different opinions. His are just genuinely out of touch. I do like Ken when he was Mayor as he knew what London wanted. Into other politics I think he gets his mouth twisted and can't justify sometimes when he has an opinion on things and gets himself in a tiswas. I might be wrong maybe that what listeners want. Ian Dale seemed very unhappy with his views on his Wednesday show interview Ken.

Did anyone hear J O'B's juvenile line in questioning yesterday re: the refusal of taking in child refugees? He asked "are people nasty", "are people born nasty"? I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

There is a third way. You want the country to take in refugees, but you do not want to house the refugees yourself. That's the JOB way. |

Nick Ferrari, the man who says there are no poor people in Britain one day but when the agenda changes he is oh so concerned about all the deserving cases which he suddenly recognize. |

It wasn't JOB who wrote the wicked lies about ninety six dead people. It wasn't JOB who continued to peddle the lie for decades. It wasn't JOB who caused hurt and misery for families who lost loved ones.

Finding NF arrogant and offensive towards some callers today. He made a big song and dance about the fact that nobody should dare comment on his journalistic talents and yet he manages to laugh in schoolboy fashion when a caller is commenting on a serious matter.

He wears other people/nations tragedy like a fashion garment just like most of the luvie London left do, JOB is a foul little radio bully who hates others opinions and is not a journalist in any shape or form..... No doubt he will turn up in Nagasaki and feel the pain of the Atomic bomb survivors on next years family holiday, he as done Anne Franks and the river Kwai but there's lots on the list for the JOB faux sypathy tour. |

Too spurious and jumbled up to bother reading properly. You need to formulate your sentences properly.
When I was doing some research on who watches Youtube I posted a very dull video on a home appliance in use (as there are lots of such videos). I learnt something I would never have guessed by the huge amount of feed back I got... from requests of serial number so people could tell me the build date to requests of it in other modes. I noticed a trend... many were autistic and that lead me to then go and find out more about that condition. Unless you think people should only have access to discussions if they are able to do so to your standards? I know I have been accused of poor grammar etc on here and robustly defended myself (there was a great bit earlier this week in the Guardian on Grammar correction forum types who it turns out are often wrong in their belief of the rules) and while I had a very expensive education, have all the exams to show I can do it, can (and did) cite some ironic university research in "who actually tends be worst" for lazy writing admit I do not formulate as some would prefer... they might well be able to complain to me like you did to him, but are you sure all are like me or just assume it. |

Despite all their lies and shameless self interest - it wasn't the police who were pushing that day. Its easier to blame the authorities for absolutely everything and take no partial collective responsibilty.
Question 7 Were Liverpool fans in any way responsible for the deaths? Answer. No Now if you know anything that the jurors were not told in over two years of evidence then you need to let the authorities know. If you don't then why do you believe you are right and the jury was wrong? Even after twenty seven years there are still a tiny minority who refuse to see the truth and continue peddling filthy lies. |

I've been on juries - twelve men good and true? Twelve men (and women) thick as a brick and biased is my experience. Though to be fair - if they had said the fans were responsible they would have been vilified by most of liverpool and probably had their lives made difficult so they were in a no win situation.
But anyway, lets assume it wasn't the fans at the back pushing - so who was then? Invisible pixies? No idea why you think you know better than people who have listened to all the evidence. |

once again, the fans were cleared of any responsibility with a unanimous verdict. You have no idea who was on this jury so you have no right to call them thick.

No idea why you think you know better than people who have listened to all the evidence. Pushing doesn't just happen, its not a force of nature. I don't go to football matches but I've seen it at festivals and I've seen it at crowded tube stations - idiots at the back of a crowd actively push in or even shove people ahead even though they can see its crowded in front of them. |
