Fake news, propaganda

Advert breaks are far too frequent.
I used to listen to LBC a lot but not any more as I'm fed up with listening to all the adverts. I understand that they are funded by adverts and they are necessary but there are far too many now.
They also have a clever way of cutting callers off even when they have a very good point but the presenter disagrees and can't win the argument. They do this by secretly cutting the caller off while the presenter is talking and then go on to criticize them when they have no way of continuing to put their point across.

Here we go again, the vile agitators of hate doing what they do best, shame on the presenters for not leading Britains conversation but adding to the hate and division in this country. Congratulations on giving hate a platform! Go get a proper job you shower of grifters.

I would like to object in the strongest possible way to something that happened on the James O'Brien program on Thursday 11th September. I know James O'Brien likes to edit and clip events, videos and audio to suit his narrative but to blatantly edit something and present as facts creates what he professes to object to. James O'Brien creates hate and division with his continued editing of events, audio and videos. James O'Brien knows exactly what he is doing, proof of this is when he likes to repeat phrases like "The Farage Riots " . So what happened on his program on Thursday 11th September. He played a clip trying to prove Charlie Kirk was a racist. The clip seemed to show that Charlie Kirk was concerned that the pilot being black proved he was racist. If what was said was played in it's entirety it would show that Charlie Kirk was talking about DEI and was the pilot selected for the job because of his qualifications or because of his skin colour. Like many people I do not agree with everything they say but I accept the principle of "Agreeing to disagree " without the need to cancel or object in a hateful violent way. If James O'Brien had done proper research he would find that Charlie Kirk went to places like college's and universities and debate with anyone regardless of their views. If at the end of the debate there was disagreement he would politely and respectively accept what was debated. Unfortunately there are some who are unable to do this and have to resort to hate and violence. I realise that there are hateful people from both the "Right" and "Left" but why does the hate and violence seem to be more prevelnt from the "Left" as shown by the joy of Charlie Kirks death by some. Unfortunately James O'Brien appears to allow his hate for some to corrupt rational thoughts and by displaying this hate on his program is very concerning. So back to the reason for sending this message James O'Brien who professes to have honesty and integrity and likes "Counting" should out of respect to Charlie Kirk play the whole clip of Charlie Kirk talking about the pilot which proves Charlie Kirk was not being racist. Not everything is is related to skin colour.

Have listened to LBC for years, now becoming impossible after Ferrari. James is a total bigot and along with Mathew Wright fail to understand constantly degrading the D.Mail (the biggest selling paper) and the Telegraph is insulting their listeners. And why they bother having anybody on I don’t know as if their views differ they constantly interrupt and insult.Now difficult to listen to any other than the two Ian’s, Ferrari, Ali and Vanessa. It would seem a name change to left or Labour Broadcasting company.

Hopelessly spiteful loony left wing hosts. Cannot stand this biased radio show.

I agree with all other reviewers who left a 0 review. This Radio Station is a propaganda machine employed by labour or some such party. If you happen to disagree with their narratives they cut you off abruptly. Nasty is the word that springs to mind. They are not an impartial channel thry are more like a gossip monger but it has to be the gossip they want people to believe. Nasty. I will never listen to LBC again. Frankly they make me sick

i occasionally listen to lbc, just to be annoyed almost every time by pure idiocy of the hosts. all of them! but currently there is some outspoken idiot who cannot get over himself regarding how can anyone let their 9 year old child use youtube.. how does someone that stupid get so far?! he has a huge platform, why is he allowed to spew rubbish and endanger many children's chances in life when they miss out on growing their creativity and learning?!

95% left wing hosts vs 5% right wing hosts. For some reason that's the breakdown LBC has gone with. Even then that 5% don't give good balance. You have to go elsewhere to hear counter views to what the 95% has been saying. I include Ian Dale in that 5% and he's not even a real conservative despite claiming to be. Look at how he's been treating callers that are actual on the political right. Rants at them about how they're wrong, talks over them, doesn't prove any facts about why they're wrong and then hangs up on them. At least Nick Ferrari, lets people talk and he doesn't put emotions over facts. But that's it you're not getting a political balance with LBC. Meaning if you want to be able to make up your own opinion, you'll need to go elsewhere. My advice is use Timesradio over LBC. They are close to being politically neutral, value facts over feelings and have a host of presenter.

I have been speaking to LBC for a decade.
Recently the staff answering the phones seem to be incompetent and rude frankly.
It's not a pleasure or joy to talk to them anymore and they ARE CLEARLY BIAS. Poor station now

LBC.. is by far the best independent Radio Station in the UK....and it's most entertaining & charming Presenter is definitely RICHARD SPURR.,weekdays Monday to Thursday 1am-4am.It is a discussions led programme with topics ranging from political to general"in the news for that day"-... sometimes serious subjects/sometimes funny subjects; with some professional interterviewées, some general public commentators, some texters & some WhatsAppers (like myself); all handled very professionally, carefully & with compassion by Richard Spurr.
... Looking forward to this week's shows, hopefully interSPURRsed with a little bit of Richard's everso "cheeky" but infamous BADINAGE😉‼️

Ali Miraj Vanessa Veltz and Nick Ferrari are wonderful presenters.
But James O'brien s so baise he shout down anyone who doesn't agree with his views.
He is supposed as a presenter to listen to the callers views not shout out his all the time.

I noticed that the speaker on LBC Radio today appeared to express a strong bias in favor of Israel and the United States, particularly in contrast to Iran. As a broadcaster, I believe there is an expectation of neutrality, especially when discussing international affairs.

I attempted to call in to share my perspective, but unfortunately, the call was screened and I was not given the opportunity to participate in the discussion.

I’ve been a regular listener of LBC for some time, but I’ve grown increasingly concerned about a lack of balance in how the station covers topics related to the Middle East—particularly Israel, Palestine, and Iran. In my view, LBC’s commentary often leans strongly in favour of Israel, while voices that represent Palestinian or Iranian perspectives are underrepresented or portrayed negatively.

These concerns are not just about the on-air content but also about how listeners are treated. I’ve tried calling in on several occasions to express my views respectfully, only to be screened out before I could speak live. Each time, the call screener seemed to anticipate my position and did not allow me through. This has happened multiple times and gives the impression that only certain viewpoints—those that align with the station’s apparent narrative—are being platformed.

As a listener who values open discussion, I find this deeply disappointing. A platform like LBC should encourage diverse opinions, especially on complex international issues. Consistently shutting out perspectives from Muslim callers or those critical of Western foreign policy stances undermines public trust and suggests an editorial bias.

I hope LBC reconsiders how it handles both its content and listener engagement, to ensure a more balanced and inclusive platform.

Extreme left brain washer.

I just wanted to say how refreshing it was this morning on Nick Farrari’s show to hear all the real life stories from people’s lives and how the influence from their early life made so much difference to their own outlook on life. The determination through adversity to succeed shone through. It made such a difference from the normal politics politics politics! Thank you.

I was an avid listener to LBC for over 20 years. This station is no longer my go to listen. I find some of the presenters have over stayed and have become stale, some are rude, some are silly, one or two seem very unsure or ashamed of their own upbringing that on every show they have to convince themselves. The only show i never miss because he is informative, engages well with all, an excellent interviewer covers loads of topics, and hilarious is NICK ABBOTT.

What on earth has lbc done to its app? It used to be easy to use ... since a few days ago they have changed it and you cant find anything you used to listen to. Where are the podcasts? Where is catch up. For crying out loud, it's hard enough to even listen to live radio. Well done Global.... nul points

James O’Brian loves his own voice; extremely rude; too opinionated; too lefty. I turn the radio off at 10am as I can’t stand listening to him drone on.
Tom Swarbrick 4pm to 6pm. Thinks he’s very important; opinionated; rudeness personified. Both he and O’Brian cut callers off if they don’t agree with them.
Nick Ferrari however is always polite even if he doesn’t agree with a caller.
As far as I’m concerned presenters should always be respectful to their callers and be thankful they’re listening to them and want to join in the conversation.
Tune into TALK instead.

how pathetic is Nick Abbott !!!!!! Why can’t LBC hosts just encourage their audience to provide their views without giving their own views ?!!! They should be there to stimulate debate not use the platform for their own soap box!!!!

Pathetic!!!
