Recently on my holidays I have been listenting to some late night radio on BBC London. The Presenter Big George is a very good radio host. Well worth checking out. Between 12am - 6am. Here's a segment I found on you tube, which was nicely done.

Really...


Personally, I feel ( don't you love that get out clause ) it's rather like listening to a cement mixer with a loose brick in it


He churns & clanks his subjects, whilst huffing & blowing into the mike


All this, then an interlude of "musical cardboard" on 94.9FM



Thankfully I don't get to tune in unless I'm working late



Lastly, I bet he eats & talks at the same time ( to top it off )



Still, horses for courses



W**F

Not trying to say he doesn't. Define what you mean by rubbish music? Surely you don't listen to him because he might play music you approve of? It's a talk show. Why not email him and ask why he plays what he does? There is a reasonably large choice on the BBC London playlist. He also plays stuff sent in to him if he likes it. And he will often have the artist(s) in the studio if he likes them.

Jeez guys - why so defensive about BG?


I don't have to email him - I had a chat with him about it when I was in the studio. BBC London have a teeeny-tiny playlist (think Lifting by Lighthouse family and maybe about 3 other tracks that Radio Luxembourg would have thought safe in 1981) which they enforce on their presenters during certain hours of the day. He seemed about as happy with this as I did as a listener.


as for the guy himself he seems nice enough, and interesting to boot, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan


Is this so heinous?

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
