    Julia Hartley-Brewer on Talk-Radio has discovered a devious plot by rebel MPs and is now discussing this with Bill Cash.

    The plot is so outrageous, I can't possibly post details here.

    You mean he made intelligent points in plain English that were easy to understand except if you are rabid Brexiter like a certain Ms Priti Patel. After all he only penned Article 50.

    Oh I enjoyed the fact Uber's appeal lost.

    Self-flagellation is the way to go.

    That's because she is rich enough to afford British fizzy white wine.

    Or Melinda Whale is laid back.

    He must have wound the management up or simply got fed up of them.

    LBC have got it right by hiring from both sides of the political spectrum. Different political views are therefore available, which makes listening more interesting, whether you agree with them or not.

    If only the BBC had persued the same "diversity" policy.

    I enjoy listening to Manx FM - It is hilarious. Recent news items include a man ranting at a woman walking her dog shouting rude words, and the electric railway carriage dismounting.

    Another good one is the football league - one of the players is nephew of the sports commentator.

    I love that way of life.

    He would be fine. He would know to make friends with a few people who would look out for him.
