@lbc.co.uk @lbcwatchuk.bsky.social Nick Ferrari is a malevolent force on UK radio and media in general. He promotes division as a business model. His radio show calls for anger and fury from his listeners and then filters his guests and callers to push his agenda. He's now fermenting anti trans hate

Agree.
We need to switch him off, he is just click bait for the ad breaks.
And I need to take my own advice, starting the day with verbal sewage in your ears can’t be a good plan

Next stop Strictly!

🎶 Those Epstein files gonna bite your butt, but it ain’t gonna go away … 🎶

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Do you rely on others for support?

From the new Private Eye, out now.

Yes I heard it!

Headline: Elon Musk is booting the British right- and this shows how

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.

It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

I’m tempted to ask ChatGPT for a synopsis, but I might laugh myself into a hernia

House prices have gone up in the French town of Sauté since it's become gentlyfried.

Also I’m fairly confident that headlines say ‘Lammy’ rather than using David Lammy’ , adding to the negative effect
whereas for previous justice ministers forenames were used.. ‘Rory Stewart’
A basic lack of respect for someone in a high office

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Nick Robinson failing to best #Stiglitz on #R4Today on equality gap is something else when Robinson calls the ultra-rich as geese laying golden eggs..🤣

The goose has swallowed all the golden eggs

@mrjamesob.bsky.social remember these people love to hate ‘do-gooders’
….which always makes me wonder if that’s why they like the ‘ do-badders’

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

Mega-rich Nigel Farage's constituency has England's most deprived neighbourhood A neighbourhood in Jaywick, Clacton-on-Sea, has been ranked with the highest deprivation score out of more than 33,750 small local areas nationwide, official statistics reveal

If only they had an MP who gives a fuck.

Turnip lanterns-nothing says Halloween like the smell of burning turnips. Bending spoons out of shape scraping them out..

I remember ‘A penny for the guy’ which meant raising money to make a guy (Fawkes) for the bonfire, but we said it even when we weren’t making one, it was just what you said to get sweets or some change. Some people expected a joke or song for the sweets or money. Scottish here too!

That’s ‘Lord’ Gove. Credit where discredit’s due

Those, like Lee, who stigmatise and pretend they believe the disabled are exaggerating their disability to claim benefits
often lack the imagination and intelligence to realise they are only an accident, blood test or stroke away from needing that support at very short notice

#RiotWoman How can a drama be this harrowing, this funny, this informative and this therapeutic all at the same time? #BAFTA

Finished Riot Women last night - what a brilliant piece of TV. Gripping, pacy, funny with important things to say. A fun story about older women forming a punk band - but it's actually about violence against women which it deals with so powerfully and Sally Wainwright deserves every award out there.

Go see Matt and Triple G on tour,very excellent, properly funny

Is this politician racist?

See me live on tour!

They can reshuffle every week but there’s too many jokers in the pack

Excellent, play them at their own game, the simple slogans can work both ways.
