  1. Perhaps Braverman wants James O'Brien to visit Rwanda because she has made arrangements for him to not be allowed to leave?

  2. It isn't rhetoric that is enflaming the situation, it is the repeated muderous actions of violent maniacs in the UK.

  3. Thsoe of us who enjoy the odd bit of amateur psychology diagnosed Boris many years ago. The real tradgedy is that despite the warning signs, the evidence and the recklessness of the man, he was allowed to get to a position where his actions had such horrible implications for the nation.

  4. Imagine the Tories having a strategy meeting to prioritise who they should target their hatred at in the lead up to the next election. Perhaps they should be taking responsibility for the decline of all the British institutions that they have undermined and underfunded over the last 13 years? Perhaps they should be addressing the nation's social, economic, environmental and political decline that has happened as a consequence of their policies? How they have the nerve to suggest that they are the party with the answers, or even any answers, when they are the cause of this decline, beggars belief. Particularly when it comes to immigration, asylum seekers and refugees. To suggest that the Conservative Party embodies any values at all is quite a stretch.

  5. Is it possible that the protestor's actual message could at least be mentioned if not promoted? As far as policing methods are concerned, is anyone actually surprised, given the current government's efforts to outlaw protest, strikes, asylum seeking and dissent? Perhaps LBC should concern themselves more often with the current government's programme of encroachment of our civil rights? Or should we hope that more jounalists experience this kind of treatment to highlight what those who are politically active face all the time now?

  6. Its a shame JC has been forced to the periphery of British Politics. He would have made such a refreshing change from the self serving, corrupt, sociopathic narcissists we are currently enduring. He was rather compromised by his position on Brexit but otherwise I'm sure he would have made a positive contribution. Oh well...judging by the popularity of BJ and now apparently Starmer, this country gets the politicians it deserves.

  9. Oh dear. This guy continues to fall at the lowest of hurdles. No wonder the narcissistic sociopaths in the Tory Party continue to get away with it.

  10. Why are Nicola Sturgeon's feet not touching the floor? Is it an optical illision or she really one of the Crankies? I have long suspected the latter.....

  11. How can we continue to support Boris despite the facts? Distort the facts! Better yet, let's discredit the procedure, the committee, the evidence, the individuals, parliament, the law and not even bother to investigate him! Hurrah! Then we can bring back the vicous sack of lying custard and let him have a second go at ruining the country!

  12. This kind of thing is happening all over the UK: go broke or relocate to somewhere more stable. Brokxit.

  13. Jimmy Saville unashamedly used his position of influence at the BBC to support Margaret Thatcher and the Conservatives for many years....and we all know how that turned out!

  14. Blimey, it was supposed to be a joke!

  16. Who do you think should be telling the working classes what to think then? Only state educated, working class conservatives? Or possibly home schooled upper class socialists? I prefer classless anarchists who didn't bother going to school?

  17. But if you follow the narrative in the newspapers, or on the tv, you would be forgiven for thinking the police are helplessly standing by, able to do nothing and therefore need extra powers to break these protests and deal with the protestors. The closer you look at this issue the more you realise that climate protestors are being demonized (like asylum seekers, unions and the EU) so that we are inclined to ignore the failings of our political system.

  18. Why am I not surprised?

  19. Try being a primary school teacher, you have to do both manual and intellectual labour at the same time for eight hours a day and when you get home you still have work to do. Or try being a nurse, or a police officer or a social worker. Etc etc etc. None of which are as well renumerated as a LBC DJ. Not sure I see the point James is making.

  20.  @iBoyNZ  Exactly. Even Boris' Head Master reflected in one of his school reports how Boris was 'disgracefully cavalier', had shown a 'gross failure of responsibility' . Most significantly he observed that Boris thought it 'churlish' of people 'not to regard him as an exception to the network of obligation that binds everybody else.' How prescient and accurate that turned out to be. We were all warned by Rory Stewart three years ago, but no one appears to have been listening.

  21. The same could be said of Michael Foot, thinking that his ideals and policies would win him the election, oblivious to the public's poor perception of him because of his woeful public image. A politician's public persona is massive in modern politics, ethics, principles and ideals are superfluous? Starmer may imagine himself as a 'policy' guy not a 'personality' politician, but abandoning the unions and all the underpaid workers and concentrating upon economic policy will not gain him support, nor will it win him the next election.

  22. Well said Maajid, this content has aged well.

  23. 'What we need is a bigger cake!" Presumably so that those on benefits, pensioners, low paid workers and anyone else relying upon the state, can live on crumbs?

  24. Which makes him unelectable apparently?

  25. I absolutely agree. The narrative that the police should have further powers to squash protest and dissent will inevitably result in incidents like this. But political activists know its already happening and has been for decades. With this government's efforts to outlaw protest, strikes, asylum seeking etc etc what kind of society does Nick Ferrari think it all leads to and why is he surprised when it overlaps into his bubble of privilege and safety? I hope more middle class, university educated, metropolitan elite professionals get roughed up by the police for doing absolutely nothing. It might make them question the complacent, conformist narratives that they perpetuate in the media?

  26. It's interesting that as soon as the discussion turns to the anti semitic chants, posters and plackards in the pro-Palestinian march, the clip ends. No mention is made of the pro-Hamas headbands, the calls for Jihad and the Islamic State flags and slogans openly being waved by people in the crowd. Apparently we seem to have a very selective view of what 'far right' actually means at the moment. I've always associated the phrase with racial hatred, especially anti-semitism, intolerance of dissent, being anti democratic, having a binary view of culture and politics divided between the enemies and the allies, homphobia, sexism, an intolerance of free speech and debate, a general distaste for liberal values and it's institutions not to mention an inclination towards genocidal, militaristic solutions. Does that sound at all familiar? Seems to me there were just as many examples of that kind of thing amongst the pro-Palestine marchers as there were amongst the hooligans on Saturday. Why are we not recognizing the reactionary, 'far-right' leanings of the muslim fundamentalists? They may have been 'only a small fraction' of the crowd on Saturday but there was still a very large number of them, and they were completely unashamed of the hate filled rhetoric they were spouting (especially the young girls in the crowd for some reason?). The only reason why it didn't spill over into violence was because the police treated them with respect and took great care not to openly confront any of them unless absolutely necessary. Just like at the BLM protests during lockdown. I wonder why the double standard? Could the awful Braverman have actually been right for once? Just an observation... I wonder why?

  27. But James! I know we were told it was 'oven ready' but now it is the wrong kind of Brexit! It was those flippin' Remoaners, the Labour Party, The Euro Beaurocrats, Putin, COVID and the French what done it! Now we just have to wait a decade or so until it's the right Brexit.

  28. Can we just agree that everybody in the whole political/economic debate is on the left of Truss and her think tank buddies? End of discussion.

  29. Why do people always include in the description of Gary Lineker that he is 'extremely highly paid'...does that lessen the strength of the opinion he has expressed? It is of course an ad hominem attack, but why do so many think that his wealth somehow compromises him or justifies us ignoring him?

  30. Tory minister accidentally admits how the Government thinks: "The poor deserve to be poor because they are lazy and expect to live off state benefits at the expense of tax payers."

  31. Clearly Nick hadn't a clue what the research actually involved, you can see him hurriedly trying to read the precis of the material before the interview. Nick seemed to entirely gloss over the fact that the 'horrible statement' he mentioned was actually a direct quote from a Havard report on their own admission statistics. There are undoubtedly genetic differences between different human communities, as well as environmental differences, presumably a Cambridge academic would be capable of controlling for the latter when assessing the former. But nevermind, one unhappy, black undergraduate is of course sufficient to get a highly qualified white academic deplatformed and cancelled just because the evidence (as supported by the statistics) makes her feel uncomfortable.

  32. It must be easier to name those who are part of the 'growth coalition'. There's much fewer of them. However, there is a catch, they are mostly shadowy figures agitating via 55 Tufton Street, refusing to identify where their funding comes from or who they actually are. Or am I wrong, wrong, wrong?

  33. It is strange to think that a sports presenter can get cancelled for reflecting upon how the language used in a particular debate can be used deliberately to dehumanise a particular group of people in society. Then provide an accurate historical example. Surely he should be congratulated for not using 'obviously' as the first word in every sentence, or finishing every sentence with 'know what I mean' rather than being criticised? Next thing you know, they'll be shelving shows by a treasured naturalist just in case it might also upset someone in the conservative establishment! By the way, didn't Jimmy Saville openly use his position of influence at the BBC to support Margaret Thatcher and the Conservatives for many years? And we all know how that turned out....

  34.  @yossibenayoun134  the point being made is Iain has supprted the Tory agenda for years and for him to now affect a sympathetic tone to someone who is experiencing real poverty as a consequence of those Tory policies seems a bit ironic. This is where the Tory economic philosophy leads. Wealth is filtereed away from tax payers and into the pockets of privately owned corporations, their share holders share and senior executives. Then it is placed in tax havens so it serves no useful purpose for our economy. Services are cut back and communities are squeezed. Wages are kept low even when profits are high. Healthcare, education, policing, transport all suffers. Benefits are low too, but when taking employment involves zero hour contracts, little job security and very poor wages plus workers still need food banks and in work benefits, working seems to make people just as economically vunerable as being unemployed. People vote for whatever they like and for whatever reason but they have to acknowledge when the consequences of those voting choices have an inevitable and negative affect? Iain Dale could acknowledge that.

  35. All Starmer needs to do is keep his mouth shut and his flies done up and the Tories will deliver him the next election? No one wants more of this shambles, anything would be better, how could it be worse?
