It's a strange day when you find yourself on the same side of a debate as @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk over the murder by I.C.E in Minneapolis

Trump supporting commentators keep saying operation in Venezuela was nothing to do with oil, but rather to remove an illegitimate dictator who killed his opponents and oppressed the country -- so we will shortly see Delta Force or DEVGRU rocking up in Moscow to remove Putin?

I've just overheard someone who didn't know what the Berlin wall was and didn't realise that East and West Germany were different countries. This was not a child, it was a women in her mid 30s

I always love how callers to @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk, are all for policies like the "Intifada" one, whether it offends people or not, yet whinge like feck the minute you offend their delicate daily fail reading sensibilities

Now people will say that he's only got three years left, it will all.go back to normal once the Tangerine Toddler shuffles loose this mortal coil (please, please be soon) but these ideas and policies are not thought up by Trump, who can barely think up a coherent sentence

If this is not a signal that we have to fully sign up to the EU SAFE defence scheme and look towards Eirope for our future then I dont know what is.

Not happy with the way the Grinch is being made out to be some sort of tight arse by McDonald's and Asda this year. The Grinch disliked people (understandable), he was not a skinflint #Grinch

I find it quite disheartening listening to all the people doing moral gymnastics trying to defend Farage in the media today.

One of the biggest problems that Labour leadership have, is they are truly awful at the media side of politics. Just heard the Chancellor on @lbc.co.uk, all her responses were stilted, not flowing, littered with um's and ah's. I know that it shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it does

Nice to hear that callers to @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk dont want to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty, and are happy to show there callous self serving nature

Listening to the #Budget, and all I can think is what a bunch of children, shouting and jeering. It's about time that there was some sort of change in parliamentary procedure to stop them acting like a bunch of over sugared toddlers

Not much coverage with Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk over Nigal Farage and that car crash defence of his previous racism, I mean he has a dedicated line into the studio so surely they could get him on for comment?

Listening to @lbc.co.uk and hearing the statement that biological sex is simple. Well if there is one thing that nature absolutely hates it a binary solution, and if there is one statement that shows me you've never read anything beyond primary school biology it is that.

Having a Rupert Lowe mouthpiece on with Shelagh Fogarty on @lbc.co.uk to discuss the new immigration policy is akin to getting the Child Catcher on to discuss childcare

There has to be some level of irony in the number of people who want to move to live under Sharia law phoning Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk this morning, when its normally these people whingeing about people coming to this country wanting to bring in Sharia law here 🤔

So far I have seen little Tommy Ten Names and the daily fail in human form, Nick Ferrari praising the home secretary's new plans for those seeking asylum. That in itself should show that this is not the route we should be taking

I often find it difficult to explain to therapists or Psychiatrists how I am feeling and the pain that I experience due to the mental health conditions that I live with, but this struck home hard. This is how it feels on the darkest of days
