James OBrien on LBC talking about Mumsnet now

[PETRONELLAS]

He’s just started his diatribe

What have we done now?

I've never heard of him - should I have?

School Christmas performance photos thread.
Should permission be required?
He's just asking the same question.

Is he actually putting the reasoned arguments why some parents need photo restrictions wrt social media in place? Or just letting people jump in with the 'do people think their is a paedo round every corner' straw man argument?

His wife co wrote the mumsnet cookbook so i cant imagine him being particularly anti mumsnet.

He does like to froth.

He's just discussing it, not really taking a scorched earth stance.
He is critical of people filming on tablets or phones in a way that disturbs other people trying to watch the performance.
It's not really about Mumsnet, it is a discussion inspired by that thread.

Ah fair enough then.

Yes yes not really about Mumsnet. Bit DM.
He declared the cook book. I usually like him. Very agile verbally, usually on the side of ‘right’ but tends to be repetitive and insincerely humble. And if he says ‘binary’ then I silently say ‘kerching’ about five times a day.

He's a bit too 'right-on' for me. His diatribes seem a bit sanctimonious, as if he's lording it over his listeners. I agree with his opinion in the main but the whole self-appointed 'man of the people' schtick is wearisome.
