Mostly I like @mrjamesob.bsky.social but when push comes to shove, he backs down, his lack of support for @sangitamyska.bsky.social was disgraceful and he refers @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social as if he is his buddy.

jetraven.bsky.social•124 days ago

Without @mrjamesob.bsky.social and @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social LBC would be a right wing sewer.

mikeyoftyrone.bsky.social•124 days ago

With the exceptions of James O'Brien & Shelagh Fogarty, LBC is a right wing sewer.

jetraven.bsky.social•123 days ago

@matthew-wright.bsky.social Lewis Goodall, Natasha Devon, Carol Vorderman, Matt Frei and Ben Kentish are pretty centred.

mikeyoftyrone.bsky.social•123 days ago

Fair comment.

mimij9.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ben Kentish is very fair.

moragconnolly1.bsky.social•123 days ago

Don’t forget Nick Abbot

What’s the point of an unofficial inquiry. Mind you what’s the point of Reform and Nigel Farage. None!

mimij9.bsky.social•124 days ago

Attention, seeming like he’s in charge. He will do stuff the government is unwilling to do. ‘Man o’ the people’.

louisagummer.bsky.social•124 days ago

Fundraising.

pgroenhuysen.bsky.social•123 days ago

THIS IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF FARAGE

2300.bsky.social•123 days ago

Everything he says is for show. Best to just ignore him. A nonsensical little twerp tbh

mimij9.bsky.social•123 days ago

We can’t ignore him. The media isn’t.

2300.bsky.social•123 days ago

That's half the problem

cps10001.bsky.social•124 days ago

It's utterly ridiculous. When did he care about children. LBC seems to be being infiltrated by the hard right.

angrytired.bsky.social•123 days ago

The clips from the LBC stuff also get fed in to the “news” bulletins on Classic FM and presumably also the other Global Radio owned stations as well 🤬

angrytired.bsky.social•123 days ago

The problem being that there are really only three radio broadcast organisations operating in the U.K. now; BBC, Global and Bauer Media.
The illusion of independent (local) radio is just that, an illusion.

wookie77.bsky.social•123 days ago

Nobody with the integrity to lead an inquiry would lead an unofficial one for a party with single figures of MPS.

And who would actually turn up, no legal requirement, if it’s UNOFFICIAL.

Why is there no call for an inquiry into child sexual abuse in the Church of England & their cover ups?

theresisterssister.bsky.social•123 days ago

You can always rely on client journalist Ferrari to give a platform to any old rw bigot who, under the guise of 'freedom of speech' make use of the opportunity to freely spout lies & misinformation & all without being challenged. That's their true meaning of 'freedom of speech'.

victoria1921.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ferrari explodes with rage at Just Stop Oil protests but quaffs champagne with "farmers" Tice and Clarkson during the HUGE tractors blocking roads protests. Farage tells lies for 💰 and is largely responsible for Brexit which broke Britain, but to right wing MSM he is click bait. Such sickening stuff

grumpygrandma.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ferrari is despicable. It’s difficult, I want to hear all views but some are so abhorrent I just can’t. Is there a balance? If so where is it… truth, but truth seems to be buried under so much 💩 it’s almost impossible to find and too many don’t even try. I fear for us.

victoria1921.bsky.social•123 days ago

I switched him off months ago. He's obnoxious and rude to people, unless they're Tories. He has an abysmal, cringeworthy interview technique and, as you say, there's an absence of truth in his programmes, this was most notable when Johnson was PM. MSM owned by billionaires really isn't good news

drpaulitious.bsky.social•124 days ago

I bet they didn't mention how quiet he was when a Conservative government failed to act on the recommendations of an inquiry, too.

phoenixtdog.bsky.social•124 days ago

This, clearly giving Fuhrage a platform, and the various things I’ve seen posted about LBC takes recently, make me feel, despite missing some presenters, very glad I haven’t listened since they booted the wonderful Sangita Myska.

mimij9.bsky.social•124 days ago

Look at their owners.

phoenixtdog.bsky.social•124 days ago

peterwelsh68.bsky.social•123 days ago

I'd rather listen to Sangita Myska on LBC than Nigel Farago.

mikeyoftyrone.bsky.social•124 days ago

Yet again Farage is on a nation wide platform sprouting his divisive views with little or no scrutiny.

jff1.bsky.social•123 days ago

He'll say anything he thinks will bring him more followers. His previous assertions of finding out the truth (eg Southport) have not materialised and this most likely won't either. Such inquiries need to be undertaken by every county Council and recommendations acted upon immediately.

akendal.bsky.social•124 days ago

LBC had an interview with Errol Musk yesterday, which was an utter joke. Apparently he and his son know what's going on in this country – and know the history.

mimij9.bsky.social•124 days ago

Yeah he thinks Tommy Robinson will be PM. 🤪

He’s completely gaga.

paulcolam.bsky.social•123 days ago

It's clickbait nor reporting !

ianwinstanley.bsky.social•123 days ago

In the same time period since Labour was elected as HM Government in 2024, here is a list of things Nigel Farage has achieved for his Clacton constituents:

gimmehendrix.bsky.social•123 days ago

Enemy of the people!

notdarkyet.bsky.social•124 days ago

Pumping out the piss as usual

shane11.bsky.social•123 days ago

Seems like if Farage was a true patriot he’d pay for his own review instead of demanding the state pay for it….

He’s a full on clown

stives4eu.bsky.social•123 days ago

There is already a comprehensive report with recommendations that have yet to be acted on.

But there is no mileage for Farage in that.

hornist24.bsky.social•123 days ago

Feels like we are at the start of a coup to overthrow the democratically elected government of the UK, orchestrated by billionaire forces of the US, the tax dodging billionaire press, the BBC and most other RW press and MSM.
