My dad was a teacher, never saw him most of the year as his evenings were all admin. People always going on about teachers holidays, hardly ever saw my dad because he worked so hard educating your children. Ungrateful judgmental and ignorant.
👍
Yeah, no way that guys married to a teacher but has failed to notice his wife is not on holiday for 13 weeks a year at all 😂😂😂
She left him 12 weeks ago and it’s only in another weeks time he’s gonna realise 😂
@@tonylowe6770 🤣 yeah, when she was marking papers and preparing next year's curriculum he thought she was down the nail bar or getting messed up with her mates in Weatherspoons.. 🙄
@@hanselmansell7555 and my sisters a schoolteacher now so I can assure everyone that they don’t get 13 weeks holiday a year and just work 8.30-5. That guy was talking some kind of fantasy he had from reading a Daily Telegraph article. Do you think he even realised how ridiculous he sounded, and did he wonder if someone might recognise his voice and be like “you’ve never even had a girlfriend, and live at home with your parents still because you refuse to work full time in case your Twitch gaming channel takes off”?
Teachers should be respected and valued because of what they do. It's hugely important for society.
But talking about teacher working hours is not going to garner support imo. I won't focus on the holidays etc...but teachers working late is no different to any other profession. In fact, if we compared junior teacher working hours v junior doctor working hours there would only be one group who could claim to be working 'all hours' compared to anyone else.
I love how Adam very slowly gets louder and louder and louder. It's like a Family Guy skit.
Supporting the Tories whilst being angry that people aren't sticking to the spirit of the law :D Also not understanding that global law overrules national law.
It says a lot about a society that thinks teachers have a "cushy job". I am so sick of the denigration of the people who spend six hours a day with your children, whose pathway through life will largely be influenced by teachers. Teachers stop societies from moving back into the stone age in one generation.
I don't care if someone has a "cushy" job or not, they're still entitled to demand what they need and I support them anyway.
Also, what does it matter if he’s not happy with her striking. Why did she have to leave it til as late as possible to tell him? Because, if the teachers unions have called a strike, that means they’re all on strike, whether he likes that or not. Even if she didn’t want to strike herself, she’s not going to cross the picket line, is she?
The fact that she had to hide this from him is actually worrying. Is he feeling belittled by her earning more money than him? Does he resent the fact that her larger contribution to their household income is about to become an even larger proportion of the total? Or, that she, as a teacher is probably qualified to a much higher level than he is? I just hope that belittling her on the radio is as far as he goes in putting the little lady ‘in her place.’ He sounds like a stereotype of string-vested, 1970s working-class chauvinism. I hope she gets the kids to make him a lovely card with macaroni, glue and glitter which spells out “I want a divorce.”
@@richietaylor9870 funny!! Yes I felt I had been transported back in time with this husband. I think he has slept through the last 150 years.
It's part of a campaign to denigrate and underpay educated professionals by jealous losers who are too thick to forsee the problems it will cause them when these professionals start leaving for countries that value them.
Move overseas like I did. It's not about the money. In other places teachers are treated as respected members of society and important members of the community. When I taught in England everyone acted like I was a failed something else rather than it being a choice (which it was).
I did feel bad for the kids and I respect teachers that have stayed in the system because they care, but are you helping long term by staying there? Unless people walk away as it gets worse and worse, then I don't think it will ever get better.
That man at the end, John, seems such an incredible man. What a lovely soul, I wish him all the best.
All the best John. You are an inspiration to others, in your position 🙏🙂
The last caller touched my heart. As someone recently split up with my partner of 25 years, I felt so tormented I couldn't bear it. I visited Wales and whilst on my own facing the sea, a stranger came up to me who was deaf. He signed to me asking where is my other half. I said we'd split up and he pointed to the sky and said his wife was in heaven. We had a moment together of understanding of the pain but also that we are alive and need to appreciate that. Lovely man.
Life is very hard when you lose the love of your life - the last caller John had me in tears for his story is so touching - I do love his ability to express his loss but his love for his wife now remains as strong as ever for the spirit lives on...
I wonder if the lorry driver that is totally fine with his teacher wife being the breadwinner in his family, is still married after that call 😂
definitely got a chip on his shoulder about earning less than his wife
A very jealous man that husband is.
I suspect he's telling porkies and is not married to a teacher at all. That was a classic case of commenting on something he doesn't actually know anything about, so adds "I'm married to a teacher" to try and add weight to his argument. Again, I suspect that's the case, but I can't prove it.
I'd say he's feeling a bit emasculated with his wife being the breadwinner and is (subconsciously, perhaps) looking for any way to undermine the missus.
I wonder how often he finishes work, comes home and spends x hours doing admin and prep work for the coming weeks driving.
Imagine believing LBC or the Daily Mail rather than your wife? She needs to bin him and I will help her pay the divorce
👍
Well said.
That bloke is SHOUTING! Therefore he must be right!
He was reminding us he was an old white Brit, and thankfully with every breath, closer to reaching his life's final page.
@@banksiasongWow! Hark at the "kind" LBC listener!
"TAKE BACK CONTROL" 😂
That last caller, beautiful.
Which one of us, with every breath, is NOT closer to reaching our life's final page? So yes, unkind and arrogant. @@banksiasong
What a wonderful man John is ,his late wife was a lucky woman to have such a lovely husband.
I hope the call earns him more friends. What a genuinely lovely man.
@suzannimal I hope so. Honestly, got tearful towards the end when he talked about his love for her.. Don't see much of that nowadays.
It was a beautiful call. It made me cry and I’m not a fella who tears up easily.
same @@Bagpuss88
Props to Lewis Goodall to just let John's call play out. No intervention needed, just offering room to have John tell his story.
No 13 is a real headbanger to me arguing with your wife about having more funding for schools. And you think you're right
I think there is a slight misunderstanding. Yes, the guy was a numpty, but eventually, the budget for schools isn't getting bigger, meaning the money for the teacher's pay rise will go from what is in the financial pool - cuts will have to me made elsewhere.
As much as I don't like to agree with that guy, he got a point on that one.
@@nothereandthereanywhereSchools shouldn't be run as a business.
👍
Why is the budget not getting bigger?... billions wasted by this government (dodgy PPE, VIP lanes, Covid loan fraud etc etc). Don't blame the teachers, blame the goverment@@nothereandthereanywhere
@@andrewrobinson2565no government services should be ran as a business. I hear the same thing in the US about the post office… “oh it loses billions of dollars a year” so what? It’s a government service it’s not supposed to make money
Did he really just say "..foreign trained clinical staff"? FFS! Has he even stepped on to an NHS ward recently? We'd be devastated without immigrant medics and other clinical staff
🎯 Yeah,spot on m8. That’s just a fact, or as James ‘O Brian would put it, “that’s not an opinion, that’s just counting”.
✊🏼✊🏽🇪🇭🏴🇪🇭✊🏾✊🏻
Yeah but it's foreign and foreign means bad. Like when you have a foreign object in your body then that's a bad thing innit?
I tell ya, no doctor that's been trained in another country ain't goin nowhere near my body.
Sorry about that, trying out a new character.
I still can't believe that Javid had the nerve to mute that nurse to spout his party political BS
He's a Tory
"i don't want your thanks, i want you to do the right thing! - i can provide my service better, if you spend the money better and not line your mates pockets"
Shouty Brexit man came across like many who are sick of people not agreeing with them yet never realise it's because they are wrong
Amen.... I wish I could have him interviewed jus to ask how his saviour Sunak has taken back anything XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Angry Adam is always yelling on LBC. I don't think he's joining his enjoying his 'winnings'. I fear for his BP.
I think Shouty Brexit Man has had a miserable and unfulfilling life.
Says the intolerant left who consistently project their own flaws
Who in there right would want to be a teacher, Junior doctor, Nurse, or a copper in the UK today ? Welcome to broken Britain!
I feel 'Caller Adam' is the doppleganger of General hux's Speech in the Force Awakens, where he progressively gets more and more intense 😆😆😆
"and we will remember this, AS THE LAST YEAR, OFF THE CONSERVATES"
I thought it was Frank Doberman.... Sunak Noooooo! Letting immigrants into the country is not the way to behave 😅
Love to the family, Adam...
Haha I think he's the brother of Phillip from sandbank
Being a teacher is a stressful, thankless, underpaid profession. I don't even know why anyone would do it.
Look at Rishi Sunak's face when listening to a caller - he's not someone that listens or empathises with people.... and sees any criticism as an attack so his guard is constantly up... the worst kind of politician
the result of a pampered life never being told no
He loathes the little people. He thinks the electorate is dumb.
The NHS professionals get into qualified posts with an average of £40 k debt and starting pay at £12-15 per hour! Training for the NHS should incur debt Sunaks a privileged elitist and wouldn’t ever understand work stress and poor pay
Only in politics to improve his billionaire status and keep his father in law company full of contracts. Look at the way he has thrown taxpayers money to foreign counteries whilst British citizens cannot get dental care on NHS for which they have paid.
I hope some of these callers are referred to mental health services, Jesus. This guy going on about Brexit sounds minutes away from hurting someone.
You know this is a very perceptive comment. Actually, I think that there are lots and lots of ppl like him who feel a despair about all sorts of things and yes their wellbeing and mental health are impacted. This is the state of the nation for many.
Ironically, he made no mention about how the US shapes UK politics, and EU politics, too, for that matter.
I had just left work, and started driving home when shouty man came on the radio, I was howling with laughter, but then slowly realised that he was serious and just felt sorry for him
Omg it’s scary that mr shouty man has a vote.
It’s hilarious that he probably has a respectable well paid job was a middle manager.
Let that sink in, then ask why is British business so unproductive.
We found a material that is thicker than 300 year tree :D
oh he'll have died of a heart attack at that rate
@@simonyoung1125 we can only hope
@@Jatadhari1000 So you wish someone dies because they have a different opinion to you.....something about glass houses comes to mind
Chris’ unhappy wife. I wonder why ffs
The last speaker really got to me. What a dear man, speaking of his wife so lovingly. It’s wonderful that he is bravely facing life with such a positive outlook. Best of luck to him.
Shouty brexit gammon was hilarious.
Overall, as a Canadian, I think the Daily Mail is dangerous
LBC is a lying, pro-Labour, cynical propoganda machine. It's pathetic and needs to be shut down as they're convincing too many to vote Labour through little evidence of why they should.
lol Huples. The Daily Mail are enemies of the people
The Daily Mail is evil
If you take that nonsense gossip blog seriously then yes it can be dangerous
Very dangerous 👍
I would definitely divorce that man criticising his teacher wife. Then he can be the bread winner.
John & Sheila 😭. So beautiful. Thank you John for sharing.
Yes, teachers do get a lot of holidays, but teaching is the most emotionally and mentally draining job I have ever had. We also work during those holidays, and it takes a couple of weeks, minimum, to get over the year. We are blamed for the students' behaviour, we work long hours, and have to deal with some horrific situations (child abuse in the home, bullying etc. get in the middle of fights risking life and limb, children attacking us verbally and physically and so much more) and then told we have it easy. Just because you have been in a classroom doesn't mean you know what a teacher does. Most people can only hack it for a few years and then have to leave or turn-off the caring switch and just teach on remote control. Considering we have the future of the country/world in the palm in our hands, why aren't we treated with more respect instead of blaming us for going on strike to get the things we and the students need?
The holiday situation for teachers is the worst part of the job as far as I can see. They have no holiday flexibility, no ad-hoc getaways when it's cheaper, in our group they get left out of the best trips. As the only option is to take holiday whilst everywhere is rammed with kids and twice the price, they should get more time off.
Sajid Javid is in denial about his role in the demise of the NHS.
4 hour a&e wait under new Labour 4 day wait under old Tories.
Imagine being married to a teacher and still trying to lie by limiting the extra unpaid work they do as “that extra two hours” between half 3 and half 5. She can do better.
What exactly do you think teachers are doing that takes them more than 2 extra hours each day on average? I'm not claiming you are wrong, I just don't see what they could possibly be doing that eats so much time. Btw, I'm also not saying they shouldn't get paid more regardless of if you are right or not. Even if we thought they had the easiest job on the planet, it's also one of the more important ones. You want the best people to stay in that job. And you do that by paying them more.
Marking homework, preparing lesson materials, planning lessons, planning parent’s evenings and/or talking to parents throughout the year, writing reports, organising school trips, training and making sure you’re up to date with the curriculum and structure of the educational system, not to mention extra roles teachers take on (safeguarding, leadership roles like heads of year or of subject, contributing to extracurricular activities, managing others)… do people think lessons just happen and schools just run by themselves and teachers can just show up for 8-3?
@@ayandatambo4395 Yeah, that takes 2 hours per day on average. I mean, you guys talk as though 2 hours per day on average is a small number. That's like 360+ hours total.
They aren't having parent evenings every night or writing reports/having school trips/etc every day. Heck, they aren't even usually grading papers every night. Some days there isn't any work assignments to grade and often times teachers are able to grade tests as you hand them in and your work assignments at their desk while you are reading, working on a project, etc. Not always, but often.
Also, not all classes even have lots of paperwork to begin with. Or it is very easy to grade. A math question, for example, usually only has one right answer. More advanced math you might have to check if they did all the steps to get that answer, but that is usually pretty easy and fast since you are seeing it over and over.
Again, I think they need to be paid more. Just not for this reason.
@@101perspectiveI’m a physics teacher and I get in 90 minutes before the start of the school every day and still have to work in the evenings and weekends to keep up with workload. Every class I teach bar 1 has some kind of complex need that I need to account for when planning and schools don’t have the funding or staffing to address these complex needs. I need to have regular contact home for a whole range of reasons. I’m responsible for a lot of the admin work of my tutor group, mentees and several of my classes. Then there’s the standard marking and lesson planning. Apart from time pressures my more experienced colleagues say that the kids are more rude and disengaged than they have ever been and that’s because the culture of this country has moved away from prioritising education. I have a first class degree and could get a better paying job but unfortunately for me I like making a difference to the kids too much (I know ‘’what a martyr’ but you need job satisfaction somehow at least it’s not a boring job). That might not be true in a few years. If we want our kids to get a better education school and social services need funding so the kids can get the support they need, and teaching as a job has to be made more attractive so more highly qualified people will choose it over research or industry.
@@101perspective You weren't tagged by the person who answered your question. Go read it, if you could.
But yea. Think of all of the classes, exams and projects you did. Those need to be planned, structured, written and graded. The teacher also needs to check emails. If they do something during class, there's still plenty of other stuff to be done.
People forget LBC is a radio house and not a therapy studio.
That first caller just shatters me. I hope everything works out for her and her family.
Me too. I think she’s approaching the issue really smartly.
They're obviously doing alright, if she and her brother get the gift of a deposit from their parents. Middle class problems, 'only able to take 2 holidays this year'
What are you talking about? This lady thinks shes entitled to a free deposit, a house a job thatbpays the bills AND a life. Grow up. Every major investment has a cost attached and as you work through it it gets easier. The same applies to having children, changing careers or living in a different country. The 15th woman is just immature and whiney
@@edking6566Wrong. She doesn't think she's entitled to a free deposit. She realises it was her parents kindness that they gave her some money for a deposit. She works hard so she is entitled to a house, a job that pays the bills & a life. That's her whole point. She had a home but was working so hard to pay the mortgage that she didn't have a life & wasn't able to enjoy her home.
Yes, hopefully her parents can remortgage because those variable rate mortgages are a financial trap.
A truly lovely last call. I hope someone shows John how folk who heard his call have voted him one of the best calls of the year. We can’t all take him for a pint and a chat, but we can show our appreciation for his view on life.
Listening to the police officer explaining the plight of every public service under the Tories. Same thing happening in the NHS, competent doctors allowed to leave and replaced by doctor assistants. This time it's our lives they're playing with.
We love them in Australia. Some do go back, mostly because of family.
Anaesthetic Associates is the latest drive, our lives in their hands is getting ever more so frightening.
@@LEgoiste. the plans for the future of the nhs should not be written by politicians. It’s my children and grandchildren I worry about as they will be the ones who will suffer in the future.
Yes, it frustrates me to hear folk say, " I had a doctor's appointment" and I reply, "Really!" In reality collectively we have physician assistant appointments. You must be wealthy and influential to have an actual DOCTORS appointment.
"Oh for God's sake Phillip"
That last call…wow…reduced me, a grown man, to tears. What a wonderful gent he seems.
My absolute fave caller was the women who called out the coronation. Loved her and listened to this multiple times.😂🎉
No13 , has no wife or kids and doesn't drive a truck.
And if he did, he probably doesn't anymore...
Rishi bullshitting about providing for the NHS is gold. You can pump as much money into the NHS you want if the only place it's going is senior management and contracts for your tory mates. 😂
💯💯😅
problem is only 17 billion actually went to the NHS. The other 70 billion vanished into thin air.
🎯
Listening to a lot of these calls reminds me of a line from Red Dwarf. "he is only guilty of being Arnold J. Rimmer. That is his crime, it is also his punishment"
Objection!!
My brother recently dropped out of police training. He was shouted and sworn at by his supervisor in front of the whole station; the new trainees are expected to know how to handle situations and violence from DAY ONE when on their first placement, and they get berated for it when they obviously don't know because they have not been taught. The only ones who succeed in placements are those with prior experience in the forces etc, or are naturally confrontational or have supreme self-confidence. The hoops the universities make the trainees jump through is insane and their communication is woeful.
John positivity really tears me down..badly. I had similar experienced. Lost the love of my life in end of 2021, 2022 is so very difficult year. Even now, still. You know deep down your partner want you to move on & live your life the best you can, but its still hard. To John, THANK YOU!
Same. For some of us, there comes a day when you’re tired of fighting. I admire John so much and I will try to take his advice.
The last caller ❤️ 😢 So deserving of caller of the year.
That woman moving in with her parents again at 43 was Thatcher's dream afterall.
I agree with the "copper" . The Tories have stopped recruitment , cut numbers and say crime has fallen ??????? Get the Tories OUT !!
thats like how my country norway claimsto be happy, its because we let the sad ones die.
👍 Get the nasty lying, destruction of truth & integrity, conartist Tories out ASAP
9:09 - 9:18 OMG! I thought the caller was about to have an heart attack. He was having such a fit.
The last caller is my hero.
The last caller…wow just wow. What a man. So positive.
Just got images of James bond stealing children's dinghies on a beach in France now.
Nothing worse than a Scottish Tory they usually live in England and are as you can hear full of stress and entitled
Perhaps a Welsh Tory ,they always seemed more sneering than the Scottish ones.
I’m Scottish and can confirm that if English Tory supporters are generally in the top 10% for privileged upbringing. It’s the top 1% on Scotland. They are insufferable
A deserved win for the final caller. What is the prize 🏆? Well done for not interrupting 👍👍+1.
Totally agree
Adam was brilliant! His big gammony face contorted with rage! 🤬 And how did that work out for him? 😂
shouty right winger Adam is hilarious. I picture him shouting at himself in the mirror because he likes shouting. Don't these types of people realise they are doing their own cause damage by appear to be unhinged?
There was definitely quite a lot of spit on that mirror!! 😂😂
I listen to LBC a lot and I’ve come to recognise his name and voice as soon as he rings in (whoever is hosting the show). I now just think ‘oh it’s Adam!! 5-4-3-2-1 BOOM here comes the inevitable rising explosion of rage’
Also see Johnathon from Harrow who keeps calling Nick Abbot, he's always complaining that his neighbour moans that he's shouting all the time.
Because he's always calling LBC to blame everything on the wokies :D
Jonathon from Harrow is the guy with an very thick South Asian accent who you very much doubt is called Jonathon, is that the guy?
That last call brought tears to my eyes.
LOVE YOU JOHN. FROM 1 JOHN TO ANOTHER if we had more men and woman on this earth like you this earth will be fantastic. What a beautiful man. Thanks mate ❤️
Wow, Mr Shouty needs some rohypnol, home secretary perhaps you could help?
He'll be shouting from his grave, still directing his beloved Little Rishi in his endeavours to "Make Britain White Again".
Surely the lunatic "take back control" guy was a spoof??😅😂
Poor guy still doesn't realise who was actually "taking back control".
Dave at 17:10 “I’ve never voted in all me life, they’re all the same”, bet he voted for brexit though.
Betcha betcha betcha 😂
He runs a rubber dinghy shop in Peckham....
Brilliant caller from NHS A&E Nurse
Chris hates that his wife is more successful than him😂
Colin from Portsmouth...
Ben or Tom actually ended a call with “love to the family” 😂
Dave sounds like he shouldn't be allowed to vote so thank goodness he doesn't
Loved John's story. Love him ❤️
John the last caller deserves number one on this list and Lewis Goodall is by far the best presenter on LBC. Give Lewis the weekday breakfast show!
Boyo bach, as a fellow Welshy, fair play to John. What a man! I hope his wife is resting in peace 👍🏻
I don’t think that truck driver is married to a teacher at all 😂😂😂
He’s taken the “idyllic life and pay” rhetoric from right wing papers and pretending he has a wife living it while he’s away driving.
As for the copper that man is so bang on and correct it’s unbelievable that no one has actually bothered to say “we should really ask a genuine copper what’s going wrong instead of the people that are in charge of the failings?”
Immigration guy is right that the country has gone to the dogs but it’s not because of immigration, it’s because of 14 years of plundering. However I’d like his plot to send a secret unit to mainland Europe to buy up all the dinghies just so I can watch the inevitable movie adaptation (which I can only guess would star Brendan o’Carroll with a plot line that) 😂
The hysteria of caller 11 reminded me of Chris Evans in the 90s...but with a Scottish accent
How sad that the police caller sounded in so much despair 😢 why would you enter into police? What a nightmare 😢
They are forever crying wolf, yet they have an easy, secure job, with a great pension. They chose that job and choose to stay in it. If they got qualified, educated, they could get something better.
The caller John is such a lovely man.
I guarantee Adam has no idea where Strasbourg is.
You "guarantee" ?? I would imagine he does.
@@rb1062 What did he mean by the ECHR "AND" Strasbourg ?
Did Rishi Sunak say the NHS workforce plan will rely less on overseas help? His parents came from East Africa to work as pharmacists for the NHS. That allowed him to go to private school, oxbridge and ultimately become PM. What a vile human being
John bought a tear to my eye, what a wonderful and inspirational guy. Hope he's doing well
4:47 - schools aren't supposed to be businesses
Rishi : We've invested more money into the NHS than ever before.
Nurses : But... I need to feed my family?
Rishi : You're wrong, you haven't even read our manifesto for the NHS.
Nurse : I have read it... It sounds great. But it's all lies.
Rishi : Well you don't know what you're talking about.
The Tories : Well done. Perfectly handled. Only 5 more years chaps, and it's Quids In Boys! Keep it up, we'll privatise this without them ever knowing. Also, lets put another £200bn into Trident while we're at it. Death makes a lot more money than Life.
That guy screaming about 'taking back control', how is that going?
Mr Noisy must have a lovely singing voice.
That guy at 3:50 envies a salary of 40k? How low has he sunk....
He’s going to be even more gutted in a few years when his job no longer exists because we don’t need someone sat in a chair.

Mr Angry "take back control " hilarious
Difficult listening to the end talk, what an inspirational man. I hope he pulls through and keeps finding hope
Caller no. 11 was completely unhinged. Text book gammon!
#12 The original US flag was just the flag of the East India Company with the the British flag removed. As for the stars in a circle, I'm fairly sure they just thought it looked cooler than having them in a line lol The EU flag also has 12 stars rather than 13.
Not 27 stars, the number of member states?
Still, the laugh I got from him was therapeutic.
@@banksiasong When the flag was introduced there were 12 member countries. It was never a plan to add a star to the flag for each new member. Eedjit 😂🎉.
Our first flag is called the 'Betsy Ross' flag (she designed it) and is the 13 stars in a circle with the red and white bars. Our flag changed as the # of states continued to grow. Look up the flags from 1818 and 1837 when we had 20 and then 26 states - they both use stars organized to create an even larger single star, or the concentric circles from 1877 when we had 38 states. What an insane conspiracy that man was talking about. I'd never heard such a thing.
But but but, you can't spell UnitEd StatEs without EU, THINK ABOUT THAT... and Boris Johnson was born in America so he must be working for the CIA, take that IllEUminati!
@@blakebrown534 Yup - A real conspiracist who went way down the rabbit hole.
What a wonderful guy the last caller is! Such sincerity - whatever we believe about 'ex loved ones looking down on us'
I wholeheartedly agree with James's caller as regards the monarchy. It now divides instead of uniting the country!
The mono-what? oh you mean the tourist thing with the carriages & zero power
John Pays should be considered a national treasure.
The guy at 9:00 is actually crazy. He's just yelling for no reason. A lot of the right wingers seem to be very emotional.
I think Caller 11 is in fact DAVROS: Creator of the Daleks (putting on a Scottish acent).
The presenters on LBC are the best in the world,you have so many listeners in Ireland
Adam is so chill!
Loved the number 1 call ❤
Tom Swarbrick is the best Presenter on LBC. Not only does he gets some of the best callers (Real Knut Jobs) that have followed him from the 10 pm show. I don't agree with Tom all the time & haven't listened to Tom for a while but he has a great Presenting style & happy to give people the rope to hang themselves literally while still being polite.
Nick Abbot is the only show (Fri/Sat) I never miss but even Nick Abbot will tell you that he's not a Serious Journalist... He plays cow noises on the radio..
Top award goes to buy up all the rubber dinghies 😂
5:30 Teachers have to work after work hours to prepare classes and correct tests. While on holidays, they have to do some work as well. They work weekends to prepare the class. Sorry it is not fun being teachers. They deserve to be paid more.
Married to a teacher. Not for much longer
I very much doubt that that guy was married to a teacher, he had no idea.
The police interview really was frightening...... maybe we are in for a generation of social unrest...... and when this happens, how the people will take things into their own hands
Many of these issues are also the same in Scotland too. I have a couple of friends who work for Police Scotland and they always found it disgusting that support staff were being made redundant in their drives and cops (paid far more) being put into those roles, but not replaced in numbers on the streets or in the frontline departments they were taken from. The First Minister and Chief Constable would tell the public and press “there’s no policy to backfill roles using constables within the police”, while simultaneously having a department vacancies section on the intranet system specifically titles “backfill roles” with dozens of positions in every division.
I’m not in the slightest bit surprised by this caller’s anger and contempt for MPs (and MSPs) who gut the police forces of their abilities, while singing about how they’re combating crime.
@@Heathen.Deity. Worth remembering the consequences of the "Barnet formula". The money that the Scottish Government get from Westminster for policing is in proportion to that in England. If it is cut in England, then it is cut in Scotland.
Whilst the Scottish Government have managed to top-up some sectors in Scotland (NHS Scotland for example) there is a serious limit as to how much that can be done, without full fiscal control.
@@alanbrown9178 indeed. I’m certainly not blaming it wholly or even mostly on the Scottish Government, but the talking points coming from them were the similar “we’ve hired more cops” and “there won’t be any backfilling of roles”, while in reality it’s less cops to do the actual policing and paying more for many of the roles that were once staff.
@@Heathen.Deity. Point taken.
‘Oh for gods sake Phillip..’! Omg that’s great.
Teachers deserve so much more, one of if not the most important job in society.
This police issue sounds very serious. Technically people are being employed but are not capable of policing for several years and even then there is no one to train them!
I tapped out at the stars and the "conspiracy" 😂
