LBC-TALK RADIO?

Those of you who are avid readers of this blog and my infrequent newsletters will be aware of the issues that I have had with that "talk" radio station during the last seven months or so.
What I am going to do in this article is to expose their new positioning away from public driven "chat" and into, amongst other things, A) less or non-public involvement in discussing issues and B) the 'exploitation market' which will both be discussed in some more detail below.
Firstly, it is reasonable to provide some background data to show that these views are not based upon mere whim but rather upon significant experience gained over nearly 10 years of calling talk radio stations.;
Stations that I have called over the past 10 years are listed below. A frequency rating of 1-10 is given with 10 being high;
LBC-10
Talk Sport-5/6
Radio Five Live-5/6
Radio4-3
Radio1-2/3
Other-1/2
I began calling talk radio stations when I was a mini-cab driver and got bored listening to the same music over and over. The best radio station at that time was XFM, but shortly after this time Crapitol Radio bought them and destroyed it utterly!

My first call was to LBC, the Fred Housego(?) show! It was terrifying!

However, I got into the swing of it and talked nightly to; Clive Bull, Nick Abbot, James Whale, Ian Collins, Charlie Woolf and a host of others.

What I learned from my experiences was that it was very hard to make a point especially if it clashed with the hosts views or was opposed to, for example, a government position on a subject; take the recent hostage crisis as a case in point.

Am I the only person who thinks that we are continually inundated with misinformation and disinformation; propaganda in other words?

Why do we allow the government to lie to us about transport, health, education, Dr Kelly, WMD's, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan?

Why don't WE have a TGV? If we can't do it (which we've proven we can't) then why don't we buy the ruddy thing of them or, better still get them to do it? If dealing with the French doesn't appeal to us (though why we should hate the French so much I don't really know considering that so many 'English' kings were in fact French) then there's always the Japanese, the Germans or the good old USofA; all of whom have sophisticated rail networks!

I'm going to conclude now with a final thought; the age of open, objective talk radio as a genre where the general public can get involved in discussion on subjects that matter to us, has DIED!

And if one is a regular listener to such talk shows then one must be aware how they have obviously dumbed down, increased advertising to 8 shots per hour, news(?) every 15 minutes and entered into the 'game' calls scam including a Bingo game on LBC's Nick Ferrari show which is so ludicrous as to be pathetic in the extreme!

Farewell for now and remember that Magna Carta guarantees our freedom and although tOry bLiar would like to scrap it he, or anyone else, shall never take our freedom away as it is God given; our Law believes in God and is clearly stated in every courtroom in this country;

DIEU ET MON DROIT!

Isn't freedom just wonderful?
