Nigel Farrage has been sacked by LBC. Hehe

[Soph0571]

About time they got rid of the fascist. One could hope this might be a turning point about the far right poisonous commentators than have been given air time to spout their drivel on the airwaves. It is a start anyway!!!

2. Question is...

This is the time of BLM and LBC is a commercial station. I think that the morning slot had better be careful also

Or is it tots and pears?

5. For God's sake, don't let him come to the US. I picture a talk show hosted by Farage and Pierro.

6. He compared protesters who pulled down the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol to the Taliban

which could account for why this is so sudden:

Farage has been a vocal critic of the recent Black Lives Matter protests and sources at the station pointed to internal fury over his comments earlier this week comparing protesters who destroyed the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol to the “Taliban”.

Employees at Global Media, which owns LBC and other stations including Capital Radio and Heart, had raised concerns in recent days about the difference between the company’s rhetoric on race and its actions.

Messages passed to the Guardian show Yinka Bokinni and Shayna Marie Birch-Campbell, the hosts of the CapitalXtra breakfast show, expressing their exasperation with the company’s response: “As black women in the public eye and forward-facing representatives of this company who are actively speaking out against white privilege and fighting for change, we currently don’t feel like we have the backing of the place we call home.”

There has also been substantial attention on the make-up of the Global Media board of directors and calls for its founder, Ashley Tabor-King, to do more to live up to his internal comments.

7. It may be an impetus.

He's continued to lose any relevance he apparently once had, so blatant commercial considerations might also be a factor.

Whatever, good riddance. I only wish this would be the last we'd hear from the bastard, but I doubt it.

Now, what about Nick Ferrari?

8. Probably the maintenance staff were fed up...

with having to deal with all the toads and vipers that emanated from his mouth and keyboard at every one of his utterances.
