I figured out that although there is an LBC thread, there is another required specifically dedicated to this marmite presenter. I know he's regarded by many as a pretentious cunt who hates and regularly takes the piss out of the Brexiteers and Trump supporters.
The thing I've noticed by listening regularly to his week day morning show over the past fortnight is when he calls on Toby Isherwood, the political editor, he plays a bugle with the words "calling the Isherwood!" to a big fanfare. When Isherwood then comes on, JOB then seems to indulge in a typically verbose monologue and then goes on to tie the editor up in knots at the end of which Isherwood goes off totally flummoxed and JOB seems to then feel he's achieved his mission. Isherwood's usually on LBC as early as 7.15 when he's talking to Ferrari so is probably a little tired by then and gets ushered off the show quite unceremoniously.
I can't work out if JOB is genuinely trying to have a cerebral debate or if he's taking the piss out of what I think is a right wing editor and trying to make him look a right twat. Steve, I know you follow Isherwood a little and others listeners like Holden, Alc, zippy, Finchy and kev may have an insight. Is JOB being a little mischievous?
On a wider note, is JOB a cunt?

He's fantastic at winding up Brexit Bigots, but I could never listen to a full show... too depressing.

His book is quite good.
The Brexity types that phone in are political flat-earthers.

Barely hear a minute these days, enjoy looking at the graph showing the LBC audience plummeting when he's on air though.

His Brexit stuff is better than other content. He's best when interviewing on podcasts. He's the only one to have got under Farage's skin which is no mean feat as many others have struggled. That's why Farage won't do interviews with him.
LBC has got a better balance of presenters than BBC or Sky...and Eddie Mair is still the best.

He was on fire last week when he came on right after Ferrari interviewed BJ. It was great listening.

You mean when he asked Farage about his comments on foreign speakers on the train?
Although Nigel doesn't seem to like foreigner speakers in public spaces he admits his kids .... erm ..... speak German both at home and out and about in the nation.

You’re welcome.
He’s a class act that Usherwood, especially when explaining the previous days shenanigans to Steve Allen.

Allen's a right cunt, he started talking shite to Usherwod at the end of last week saying how much he likes talking abut Brexit. Makes a change from his daily outrage about fucking Love Island.
