LBC Reviews 1,236

If it were possible to give ZERO stars I would.
LBC is a left wing propaganda platform nothing more.
You only have to listen to the outright lies that the likes of James O'Brien spew out on every episode.

LBC specialises in winding up its listeners, this station never lets facts get in the way of “woke” “lefty” rants.
It’s constantly calling for: bans, regulation, new laws and always advocates censorship of any social media platform that operates under true “freedom of speech”

But the most concerning aspect of LBC is that if you send a WhatsApp message anonymously, it actually ISN’T because their WhatsApp feed works in such a way that collects data from your WhatsApp “set up” and other related “interactions” with Global Companies they instantly know,
your name, address, phone number, email address, IP address (a code given to devices connected to a computer network that uses the internet), username, password, age, gender and date of birth. Bet you didn’t know that!!!

Disgusting channel that wishes to violate rights of privacy. You cant watch with a vpn on which is absolutely ridiculous.

14% of listeners rate this station as trustworthy news content the call in staff are rude insulting and the station is a filtering propergander machine for government and agenda bias

It’s not what it used to be, there is too much negativity for my health. I can’t take anymore of the constant hatred, there is no hope or fun just 24hrs of bad vibes, I feel relieved it’s off. How can that be a good business model? It’s all very strange and I think it must affect anyone who listens to constantly.

A very' elderly hostile' station. Childish presenters constantly ranting on about the triple lock and millionaire Pensioners living the high life on Benefit Street. I hope the advertisers who fund this stuff are paying attention.

Disgraceful presenter on national radio absolute Disgraceful the rubbish that comes out of Ian Dale his mouth rude arrogant like a little todler trowing his toys if people dont see things his way guess wat Mr Dale not everyone is gay tory or Jewish it looks to me that anybody else that calls is just there to make fun of and wen he has no more answer's he puts the phone down and ridicules people only one fool here named Ian dale

Lbc worst courries ever Just to let u know special documents takes long time to recieved?omg no to lbc mga kababayan ever.😔

NEVER USE LBC. It is useless and will take your package years to arrive

Claire Foges this woman is trying to scare people, if you dont agree with her, she would shout! Crazy.
There is No democracy, and free speach in UK.
And yes, Claire, royal is usless! They paid you to wind us up. Pointless radio. Eveeything will be pointless in UK, if No free speach, and this will never happen thanks to people like Claire, who worked for Boris.
Hehehehe
You are all seeking power, and only small minds do that.

I doubt LBC can "improve" given their shut-down of listener complaints. There is no "Customer Complaints" at LBC! Ferrari and Dale endlessly berate the BBC at the first opportunity. OFCOM seldom respond to a complaint lodged against LBC (which are legion.) It's a shame for the more recondite presenters, and there are some. And why do LBC charge for phone texts when they don't even acknowledge receipt (let alone a response?) LBC in its day was an informative and innovative station. Sadly not now, with one or two exceptions. JC

It’s a one sided platform I called in a gave my view of the situation the uneducated minimum wage women who answers calls started raising her voice I just hung up she sound like she has severe mental health issues

James you work in a call centre for a few hours and get paid £250,000 approx 😂😂😂😂

Be careful... The Whatsapp messaging seems to have ceased. So I've been texting them. At 21p/text. Yes they charge outside your normal text bundle. I wasn't aware of this. Don't get caught..

I've been listening to LBC for many years, and it's frustrating to notice that the callers I hear mostly either agree with the presenter or are mocked and made to sound foolish. I've tried multiple times to share my views, only to be told they'll call me back or to be cut off altogether. I believe there's a lack of diverse opinions, which diminishes the richness of the discussion.

Nothing impartial about this bunch of bias self obsessed cretins.

Each one bought and paid for at different tables.

Most are rude and patronising when anyone gives a different take to theirs.

Used to listen a lot. Can't now, the absolute bias nonsense I hear makes my blood boil.

Sack them all and start again. Most are patronising, condescending and down right rude at times.

3 minutes of Vanessa Felz condescending BS to a listener because the listener didn't agree with her tall tale. Had to turn it off.

Used to be an avid listener, I was going off LBC as it’s generally the broadcasters giving their opinion. The final straw has been Ian Payne joking about a leaving a trapped fox in his underground car park, to waste away. A radio station advocating animal cruelty, unbelievable. Won’t be listening any more!!

This is my personal opinion as someone who has listened to LBC for many years. The station once claimed to give ordinary people a voice and let the public speak and be heard. What it does now is shape what people think by setting the limits of discussion and deciding which opinions are acceptable.

LBC has turned into a media go-between for Westminster and the public. Every major policy or controversy whether it’s welfare reform, immigration, taxation or climate targets is presented as open debate yet it always leads to the same conclusion: quiet acceptance of whatever has already been decided by government or its advisers.

You can hear it in how presenters frame their questions. They’ll ask whether a policy is being “rolled out too quickly” or “needs fairer balance” but never whether it’s fundamentally wrong. The same assumption always stands – that big government knows best and the public must adapt.

Take the small boat crossings for example. Day after day LBC talks about the dinghies coming across the Channel. Listeners are repeatedly told these people are professionals fleeing danger. Any attempt to question the legality or impact of these crossings brings either silence or moral lectures. The presenters sound more like campaigners than journalists. They guilt-trip anyone who questions the situation and act as if there is only one acceptable opinion.

The same pattern appears across every topic. Welfare reform debates never question whether the policies are unjust only whether they can be delivered more efficiently. Climate discussions ignore cost and practicality and focus on how soon measures can be forced through. Every subject is treated as settled before it starts. Anyone who challenges the framing is quickly labelled extreme or ignorant.

Many of the early and mid-day presenters make things worse. They invite callers to “have their say” then interrupt or talk over them as soon as a view appears that doesn’t match their own. It’s rude, patronising and transparent. Too many of them behave as though disagreement is beneath them.

LBC’s audience deserves far better. Listeners tune in expecting a real range of opinion yet get a recycled set of ideas that always support the same establishment view. The same “experts” and commentators are wheeled out to repeat what we’ve already heard a hundred times before. The public are there only to fill the gaps between adverts.

Over time this has worn people down. Listeners stop expecting honesty or variety and start repeating the same arguments they’ve absorbed from the presenters. It’s not open debate any more it’s conditioning by repetition. The trick is not censorship but exhaustion. If you hear one side often enough you eventually stop questioning it.

LBC once prided itself on challenging authority but now it feels like part of it. The debates sound rehearsed the outrage sounds managed and the final message always aligns with the same political agenda.

I once listened for the variety and genuine argument. Now it feels like one long lecture from people who already think they’re right. If you want honesty, fairness and free thought this isn’t where you’ll find it.

Rating: 1 star. LBC no longer leads Britain’s conversation. It controls it on behalf of those already in power.

Nick Ferrari is horrible, unbalanced siding the Nataniahu goverment. Only only person is worth listening to Is James O Brian.
Rest is rarher unknowledgable.

A grubby little station which allows clown of a presenter James O’Brien to make snide remarks throughout a party leader’s speech to Conference.
