But like I said in the shoutbox, microphone or no microphone, we may have just seen his true opinion of the voters

There's another side to every story. I don't think we've heard everything she's said yet. But of course, she could have made quite a bigoted comment, we won't hear about that.

"Gordon Brown does not believe what he said" well, why did he say it then??

EDIT: wait a minute, it was a Sky news microphone he was wearing? Sky, as in part of the media empire controlled by Rupert Murdoch, parts of which have now publicly switched their support to the Tories?

In a way by agreeing to do this for them, he was asking for trouble, not that that excuses him entirely, but Sky were probably hoping and looking for just such a slip-up.

I see Sky news as like a less extreme version of what the US has in Fox News anyways, but this is a low for them too.

Although I'm not a big labour supporter, I do feel sorry for Gordon Brown and respect him. To me he is a proper politician, substance over style, and that is how I believe politics should be done.

When he does inevitably leave Downing Street I was hoping that he would be remembered to be somebody who'd stuck to his beliefs and morals. Unfortunately though, today will destroy him.

Maybe so, she's as much entitled to her opinion as anyone... however Gillian Duffy isn't the candidate campaigning to becoming the next prime minister

Brown is entitled to his opinion also, don't forget the context in which he was speaking (to one of his advisers), i wonder what Cameron has said about people he has met on the street & then talked about them in the car (other private location).

anyway,

hmmm i'm not to keen on Brown however, shame this has happened.

as for the woman :rolleyes:

She's sold her story to The Sun for £50k.

Personally I do find her a bit of a bigot with her views against immigration. She reminded me of a UKIP voter with her views. "All these immigrants coming from Eastern Europe... where are they all coming from?" You just answered yourself there love.

*edit, just submitted my comment on the suns site, waiting for it to be checked now.

You can still stand outside with your eggs though Helen. I find those Creme ones do the most damage. I throw like a girl though, unfortunately.

Re. What happened today. I'd agree with Doovde, it was like an episode of The Thick of It.

We're merely being distracted from the far more important issues, namely the actual solid policies of the parties, by this sort of trash media style personality contest.

This is an election, not the f*cking X Factor!

Richard Bacon was saying on his show that there is an episode in Series 1 of The Thick Of It that this was reminding him of, can't remember that specific one meself but then I need to watch that show through again sometime :P

Love the fact that Malcolm Tucker is apparently heavily based on an actual Labour PR guru, or rather a combination of characteristics from a few different ones.

I can't imagine this having a massive impact on Labour's poll ratings. The 26% or so who say they'll vote Labour are likely to be the ardent loyal Labour supporters and those who simply do not want a Tory government and are voting tactically, so I don't foresee a huge downturn in support from this incident.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.

      Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
