@lbc.co.uk this caller is so desperate to paint immigrants in a bad light.

@lbc.co.uk there’s an irony to a guy complaining about other people who are unable to “afford children” when he is also complaining that he is struggling to support 4 children.

@lbc.co.uk I hate the term “wealth creators”
It’s usually either inherited or built off the backs of workers.
You always make them sound like superheroes, when they clearly just don’t want to pay their fair share to keep society ticking along.
One man’s wealth creator is another man’s parasite.

@lbc.co.uk so much chatter from the opposition benches.

It’s so hard to focus on what she’s saying.

@lbc.co.uk Local government isn’t missing out on business rates. Local councils only collect them on behalf of government. We don’t keep them.

@lbc.co.uk I hate the talk about “prison would never happen”
We just dismiss it out of hand.
I hate that we can’t even contemplate it as an option.
They can make / ignore decisions that will kill thousands of us, and just swan off afterwards without consequence.
This is the British unfairness.

@lbc.co.uk Nick makes such lazy arguments against a wealth tax.

@lbc.co.uk Nick is completely lacking self awareness.
“Why is there a rise in hostility towards immigrants?”
He asks.
After his thousandth show in a row complaining about migrants and encouraging callers who talk about kicking people out and building walls or deploying gunboats.

@lbc.co.uk so the guest you had on, her complaint was that trans people were being presented positively on the BBC?
No wonder she gets portrayed as a bit of a nutter.
She wants them only to be shown in a negative light?!
She IS a nutter.

@lbc.co.uk “they never ever catch a fox” b.s.
What a disgusting thing to indoctrinate grandkids into.
Stop patronising us by saying we don’t understand. Plenty of people in the countryside understand it and are against it.

@lbc.co.uk trail hunting is not vital at all.
It often does result in foxes being chased and killed.
I am so pleased that Tiverton are finally stopping it.
But you’re gonna get some calls from entitled toffs who want to carry on the disgraceful practice, who will spout a load of lies.

@lbc.co.uk obviously this won’t help.
All it does is legitimise the racists.
Tommy Robinson supports her proposals.
Tories are willing to vote with Labour to get it through.
We are heading for some dark times for people who aren’t white British.
Mahmood is an idiot, a hateful or ignorant one

The way this Govenrment are treating some of the most vulnerable people in the world is disgusting.
And they the audacity to pretend it's coming from a place of compassion and concern.
Their only actual concern seems to be dancing to the tune of the far right rather than tackle inequality.
