Agreed. There are plenty of Marina Purkiss types out there who are no more qualified to talk about politics than I am but Sangita is a pukka journalist with many years experience at the BBC and now LBC.

Something has gone on but not necessarily what the mob thinks...
As to the Herald article it is a bit of a puff piece "respected broadcaster" by whom? The reality was that even on an LBC forum like this there was little interest apart from pointing out that she is self-obsessed and not very pleasant. So maybe that was the reason as you say.......
Very pleased to see democracy in action but I'm afraid the only other conclusion I can arrive at is those who did vote for him are just as vile
You can take some sort of solace from that. His arrogance must have had a wobble even though he won. Susan Hall was hardly a realistic option, I felt?
She wasn't the best option but it's not a job that attracts the brightest and best. To give her credit she worked hard at getting her message across but didn't get much support from the main party. Pity Boris didn't offer to have another go. He'd have walked it!
Off topic. To cheer me up I had a success this morning. My broadband supplier, EE, informed me that my monthly charge was going up by £11!! I've just phoned to query this and negotiated a £4 reduction!!

But he's still got his monthly schmoozing sessions with Khan to look forward to.
I just cannot get my head around the sheeple on X having such tantrums and such an outcry about Sangita. I have never listened to her so have no opinion on her. Where was the same outcry when Steve Allen was quickly ousted especially him having worked for Global for decades? He had a huge fan base. I don't remember all the hash tags Boycott LBC.
Probably the same reason I cannot get my head around why what is going on in Israel and Palestine had such a bearing on local elections
The world is certainly a very very strange angry place just now

The world is certainly a very very strange angry place just now I'm not personally a Sadiq fan and had huge concerns about ULEZ forcing people who may not have been able to afford the charge or a newer vehicle off the road, but he got the most votes so democracy has spoken. I was suprised at the number of callers to Vanessa yesterday saying there had been a noticeabe improvement in air quality since ULEZ came into being. I thought Vanessa was a breath of fresh air by the way, really enjoyed her first show.
I caught Nick bemoaning the fact Khan won't go on his show. Hasn't been on for years. Nick seemed quite irritated.
I'm not sure how that works either. Bin collections, pot holes, local youth and charity initiatives, anti social behaviour, tip opening hours, Gaza ....Probably the same reason I cannot get my head around why what is going on in Israel and Palestine had such a bearing on local elections
I see there is newly elected Green Party councillor shouting 'Allahu Akbar' in his speech and that his win being 'a victory for the people in Gaza'. Pretty sure that's not what the Green Party are about.
He really is a vile little coward. I enjoyed Susan Hall calling him out for a thousand knife deaths on the streets of London while he’s been mayor and asking him to do better. He just stood behind her making faces. The piece of tit.
I think that is very poor of Sadiq. He seems to prefer appearing with his "client journalist" James where he is assured of a cosy chat and an easy ride. Nick Ferrari gives robust and challenging interviews but is fair and balanced on the whole. Other leaders of all political shades appear on his show, it doesn't reflect well on the Mayor of London that he is not prepared to do so.
But James isn't a client journalist .... he doesn't like client journalists
Result! Well done to you for your awesome negotiating skillz and refusal to just suck up a rise!She wasn't the best option but it's not a job that attracts the brightest and best. To give her credit she worked hard at getting her message across but didn't get much support from the main party. Pity Boris didn't offer to have another go. He'd have walked it!

I think Susan Hall should go on Jobby's show for a post-election chinwag..It would be radio gold. Would love to see Braverman and Badenoch face up to him too
George Galloway being George Galloway ...
duck me LBC are getting more desperate by the second. If Trump was in the UK they'd be asking him to call-in every day I reckon.
As for Khan not being interviewed by Nick ... yeah it is a bit poor considering quite a few Londoners would probably stick LBC on for 30 mins in the morning before going to work, or on their way to work. It would be much more interesting and informative. Not sure how Nick would react to Sadiq crying live on air.
Sigh...Mutter mutter..Paper rustle etc?duck me LBC are getting more desperate by the second. If Trump was in the UK they'd be asking him to call-in every day I reckon.

What is it with Galloway and that ridiculous hat? He looks a right twit.
