To think James O'Briena interview with David Lammy is appalling

[Elrae]

On LBC, the full length interview.
45.minutes of pure pbsequiosness followed by the most.anidyne softball qusarion on Gaza I've ever heard. In response Lammy says "yes it's very frustrating, I haven't been able to stop it, but then neither have Japan/Qatar etc". No follow up.queation, nothing. Dreadful.

Eh?

I like Lammy and I can't stand Labour.

O'Brien is an appalling interviewer in my opinion. He is not interested in learning or discussing anything, just in pushing his own point of view, so he fawns over those who agree and shouts over and insults those who don't. He has recently tripped himself up by reading out unchecked and incorrect information, presumably because it aligned with his views.
I changed from listening to LBC in the run-up to Brexit as I was almost spontaneously combusting listening to him shutting down discussions and insulting his callers when he could have educated and informed

In fairness his podcast Full Disclosure isn't meant to be about politics or current issues. Mainly about their background, sort of like a mini documentary, why they went into their careers, who inspired them and their life story etc. Personal struggles and theri childhood. Tends to not spend much time on their jobs and politics (they do lots of interviews on this already). Most people who go on Full Disclosure are actors, singers etc.

But I do agree, Lammy hasn't done enough on Gaza, has many more tools he could use in his arsenal. Along with Starmer as well, they need to be more aggressive, use sanctions etc

Looks like your keyboard is a bit sticky.

Haven't heard this interview as i cannot bear that pompous twat. He listens to no other opinions and is condescending to any callers who would dare challenge him, I switch over after Nick Ferrari

Some LBC presenters can be just as you describe, so I switch on after Nick Ferrari.

Hard agree. He’s so sanctimonious I cannot stand him. I skip him and turn on later when Shelia starts. He’s just so clueless. On pretty much everything. Such a twat.
