    Well that was a shock.

    Indeed as mentioned there are lefty & righty views on LBC.

    Balanced not Bland.

I disagree with you that he is part of the liberal media, they gave him a nightly slot and he sets the agenda. That's quite different from the agenda being pre-determined by an editorial figure. (The radio station is LBC btw, if anyone is curious).

    Someone needs to oppose the lefty liberal views of James O'Whine. That bloke makes our expat remainers look like Ghengis Khan.

    Sometimes I disagree with both of them.

    yeah its not like the left ever commit violence is it? Heathrow, London Riots (pretty much all of them)

    He had an opinion, he offered it to the electorate and lots of people supported it. You may not like the opinions but they are neither illegal or as far as I know racially motivated.

    I'm failing to see any politician that stated outright immigration would be so high or provided a financial case for it. They decided to do this without asking the Electorate or working out how to pay for it.

    Now which is deserving of contempt, the one who instigated a social change without asking people or the one who asked people and got them to vote for a social change?

    Had to update:

    It's the equivalent of the Independent so everything is spun to the extreme.

    The Daily Express has been a joke for years thanks to their Diana stories.

    Apparently Paul Nuttal has pissed of Arron Banks so he may pull UKIPs funding.

    Which is why I don't bet on elections. Spectacularly. Wrong. Always.
    I really should be the next head of YouGov. I'm already highly over-qualified.

    Sometimes there isn't a strategy. If they go for the Remain vote, they're waving goodbye to much of England, even with a credible leader. Scotland is unrecoverable. The boundary changes will cement this structural problem. The Tories will basically need to shoot themselves, so that apathy delivers a hung parliament; the pinnacle, now, of Labour's ambition.
