LBC Chit Chat #10

[Redvers36]

Carol Vorderman is another silly, Tory-hating, attention seeking woman, like Marina Purkiss, who trumpets her half-baked opinions without bothering to check the facts.

Just when Carol thought things could not get any worse she discovered that Jolyon Maugham is on her side.

I still don't know what she said. It's ok, in truth I've no interest in her opinion on anything.

She didn’t really say anything. All I could see in her Twitter (sorry, X) feed was her interviewing Lewis Goodall who made the point that the Tories seem to be scared of Farage. Nothing particularly controversial.

I'm sure the various corporate interests involved in mass media will manufacture some sort of panic soon ... don't worry.

There will soon be a Gender Crisis to publicise and promote

I see that Ideal World shopping channel is in a bit of trouble, 250 staff have no idea what’s going on! watch this space.

[Ndrangheta]

I enjoyed listening to him and Ben Kentish discussing PMQ's. They then went on to talk about Farage and it was really pleasant to hear a proper adult discussion about him

What was their opinion?

 

[Ndrangheta]

She kept losing it with Amanda Barrie because Amanda kept misgendering her.

I wonder if James is aware on India's views on illegal immigration?

'Why not have a nice spikey barbed wire fence somewhere on the channel? Instead of using the English channel, they should use the legal channel.'

As James' meeja career starts to circle the bowl and he steps into the culture war arena he'll get swallowed whole by one of the big fish.

 

[@steveallenshow]

Still people are guessing who the BBC presenter is, I have no idea!!

[@steveallenshow]

I’m so confused over the no name presenter,and the parents who have one story,and the young person involved has another.

[Ndrangheta]

I've been listening to him the past couple of days and he's been OK. All a bit predictable. He's definitely lost his mojo since Boris imploded.
I suspect 30p Lee will become his go to Tory to slag off now.

He's a bit conflicted about Lee because Lee was a miner aswell as an ex-Labour councillor. James can't understand how Lee can be a hardcore Tory now ... But as we know, James also constantly goes on about being able to change your mind on things, as he did by voting for Boris as Mayor of London. The positions he takes are so at odds with the things he says.

 

[EdwardTattsyrup]

It's all panto..

Can see why you'd think that (I did too)... until I found out his new wife was a producer on Newsnight (which Emily presented for many years). So it's much more likely that they were there for her, rather than Gideon.

 

[Maggie Moggy]

It's no good; I can't stand it; clicky off!

 

[i10gal]

Steve Allen banked with Coutts too

 

[neroli]

He' a very good example of someone who has had too much "therapy"..like so many self-obsessed privileged individuals who have too much time on their hands.

[The Big One]

Darren Singer, a veteran media executive who previously worked at the Guardian, stepped down as chief financial officer in July.
He has been replaced by Ben Porter, a former Rupert Murdoch lieutenant at Foxtel and Sky.

I really cannot see this affecting programming. The shakeup is, I belive at Global rather than specifically LBC.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel both attended George Osborne's wedding.

 

[Maggie Moggy]

I have to be honest. I can't stand Wootton. I find him vile.

I'd never heard of him before he turned up on GB News. He does seem like a typical tabloid muck-raker.

[Piff paff puff]

When presenters are discussing a topic and as they mostly all do when they're speaking to a caller, ask them questions relating to the topic, do you think they are genuinely interested in the caller's answer orrrrrr is the producer telling the presenter what to ask through their ear piece and for what purpose?

 

[Maggie Moggy]

What is Jobby talking about? He's bored on for 20 minutes and I can't see his point. I'm hanging on to see if any of the callers figured it out.
