Have a listen to Shelagh’s show today between 2 and 3. Glinner was on it, then they had a few calls, the last one just before 3 was amazing and they talked about AGP, great to hear on mainstream radio!

Shelagh is terrific. So was Glinner.

Violetparis · 03/11/2025 16:07

Thanks for the heads up, just listened to it on playback, Shelagh is really good on this.

Rightsraptor · 03/11/2025 16:33

What radio station is it on please?

LBC from 2.00.

Shelagh Fogerty has been getting this from 2020, if not before:

Shelagh is fabulous on women's rights.
As is Tom Swarbrick.

Unfortunately the giant bellend that is James O'Brien lets the side down.
How anyone listens to that man's show is beyond me.

Absolutely vile. 😡 And the comments on that post are hideous.

When someone shows you who they are...believe them.

There's no excuse. She's been open about her anorexia for a while now.

I thought JoB was more on the fence in this issue.

if only!! He is on a constant loop of performative beardy labour bro who just cannot understand why (complete with furrowed brow) women are upset and patties they should try being more understanding & kind to the men

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 03/11/2025 19:36

I haven’t heard that tbf

Foxpooshampoo · 03/11/2025 19:40

JoB used to be TWAW. He now rarely speaks about it, which I think is because he no longer thinks that but doesn’t want to have to say it out loud, because, media job?

Jammington · 03/11/2025 19:46

JoB went through a phase when he so very nearly got it, but then didn't again. I struggle to listen to him now, knowing he's got no integrity & will say what he thinks his mates want to hear.

Agree about Sheilagh and Tom, they are very reasonable and clear and allow the conversation to happen. No froth.

WorriedMutha · 04/11/2025 08:33

When J'oB changes his mind about something he does so in a faux intellectual manner with brow suitably furrowed and explains how he has now arrived at a different place on the learning curve. He really can't on this issue because he has been so sneering towards women and has fawned over India W. The day will come when Sandie or the Darlington nurses are topping the headlines and he can't swerve what will then be the topic du jour. That will be worth tuning in for. 'How did the establishment fall for all this bollocks'. Yeah you tell us James.

marshmallowmix · 04/11/2025 10:41

I cannot stand James O'Brien how anyone listens to him is staggering he is nasty and condescending to put it mildly!

Spot on @HousePlantEmergency he is a bellend of the highest order.

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/11/2025 11:41

He's obnoxious. KJK called in to his programme a few years ago, before she really got going with her activism. He was absolutely appalling. He's alao never heard of social contagion

I used to like him, and (in theory) would love to read his book "how not to be wrong". (No need - I can get an AI summary!

Key takeaways from How Not to Be Wrong

  • Self-reflection is civic duty
  • Examine your own hurtful opinions
  • Uncover the origins of your beliefs
  • Challenge unconscious biases
  • Move beyond winning arguments
  • Embrace change as a process)

Now I can't listen to him for more than a few seconds, literally.

So, James, have you?

Self-reflected on why people (sex realists and brexiteers especially) hate you so much?

Exaine your hurtful opinion that women do not deserve rights?

Uncovered the origin of your opinion that men can be women?

Challenged you unconscious biases (not least against sex realists and people who oppose mass immigration)?

Considered that listening and reflecting to others, instead of silencing them and smugly sitting there believing you have won the argument?

Considered that changing from "smug public school knob who hates fat people and stupid people (aka "ordinary people") was only part of the process, and that maybe you could change into someone who doesn;t hate women?

He is appalling on every single level, but the fact that he claims to believe all these things because he reflected once and became a slightly better man than he was a a teenage public schoolboy is just nuts.

Shelagh is always great to listen to, ditto Tom Swarbrick. They're proper journalists, fair and thoughtful and not just on a big ego trip. They are both very solid on gender critical discussions

moto748e · 06/11/2025 17:44

James O'Brien is one of those people who, even if I agree with him on a topic (and I prob do on most things, bar this), he still irritates me. Never happier then when he's schooling some unfortunate Brexit voter. The 'furrowed brow' bit is spot-on!

Shelagh is a fabulous Zionist too.

I have a massive crush on Tom Swarbrick and an even bigger one on Shelagh

Jobby is a knobby. I bet he's a right bore at parties.

At least Nick Ferarri owns being a bit of a twat , I don't always agree with him and hate his constant badgering of guests but I never get the sense he's pretending to be a good guy whilst being a massive misogynistic areshole.

BoreOfWhabylon · 07/11/2025 13:09

Shelagh's going to cover the BBC/Martine Croxall eyerolling at "pregnant people" nonsense at 2 today.

Do share with her what you think!

HousePlantEmergency · 07/11/2025 17:36

Such an excellent Tom Swarbrick show tonight.

I also have an enormous crush on him.
His ability to hold his shit when faced with fucking lunacy is incredible.

"Amy" phoned in and told us all sex is more complicated than male and female. Then ended the call informing the audience she had a biology degree.

Listen to it on catch up.

If you fancy your head exploding on a Friday night.

LupaMoonhowl · 07/11/2025 17:44

Re JO’B - last year when I was single went on a date with a guy and we got to talking about LBC. The killer question I asked was ‘Which LBC presenter boils my p**s?’
Without missing a beat, he replied ‘JO’B’
So he got a second date 😂😂

TakingMyChancesWithTheRabbits · 07/11/2025 18:04

I don't listen to LBC much, so I'm generally only exposed to it in cabs or clips on social media. From the stuff I've heard, Swarbrick is good on gender but is significantly less so on disability, while Shelagh I really like even on subjects where I don't necessarily agree with her. Ferrari and O'Brien are both dicks from different directions.
