Andrew Marr quits the BBC

Pleased he is going. Never a fan of his style of interviewing and could never understand how he was able to hold onto that Sunday morning show for so long. I purposely never watch anything he is part of so will be glad to see him gone.

Andrew Neil would be good. Ferociously well informed and doesn't take any nonsense.

If you read his books, you get a more rounded view of his intelligence. I like his wry ness and will miss him but life moves on.

Phew.

Just someone who allows a labour politician to get a word in so we can judge for ourselves please.

I don't mind Laura Kuenssburg and I have never voted Conservative. Is someone doing a venn?

WWM2 perhaps because Conservatives do not mindlessly follow their leader, right or wrong and are capable of making independent judgements about people, regardless of their political affiliations.

Do you mean all or some of them?

I honestly don't think all Conservative voters are capable of making independent judgements.

Lumping all Conservative voters together, think M0nica got it right.

I do wish people would read!!

By writing that I don't think all Conservative voters" ..., I implied that some are, but not all.

Is that really so difficult to understand?

I won't old my breath waiting for an apology .

growstuff in response to someone who had just done exactly the same thing.

No, I didn't. Another one who seems to have problems with comprehension. (sigh)

Ooooooooh !

Another example of the Tory government trying to control the media

Comment from Matt Kelly, editor in chief, The New European regarding #remorsegate and Boris Johnson's threat to sue the newspaper:

As for Marr’s replacement, I don’t like Nick Robinson I just think he’ll get offered the job!

I like that lady on North Korean T V - I don’t understand a word she says but she’s entertaining - should suit the BBC!

That's what we need on the public sector broadcaster.

Somebody who can look threatening in pretty pink frocks and enthusiastically tell us that we're going to hell in a handcart, and that was always the plan.

Hear hear. Love the idea if the N Korean lady in her pink suit. ?

Emma Barnett or Emily Maitlis, both fearless.

Here’s another who won’t be watching if LK takes over.

Thought it was already announced she's off or wants the early Radio 4 slot.

Forgot Cathy Newman.

Andrew Marr was just about the only non-Tory sycophant on the political staff of the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation.

He will be missed.

I don’t care who takes over from Andrew Marr because I prefer the Sophie Ridge on Sunday show which is on at the same time on SkyNews. At the moment Trevor Phillips is hosting it as Sophie Ridge is on maternity leave. He’s good too. I’ve always liked him.

I think Marr will be good on LBC. Does anyone listen to Nick Abbot on Saturday nights about 11pm on LBC? We listen when we're in bed and it's hilarious.

I think you might have missed this non-tory

LBC is going from strength to strength.

I started to listen when Eddie Mair moved over from the BBC to do the 4pm-5pm slot and have since discovered Sheila Fogarty, James O'Brien and others. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to hear a variety of viewpoints.

I used to love Eddie Mair on R4 weekdays when I was driving home from work. Never the same after he left.

Glad you liked MY suggestion grandMattie!

I shan’t reply, as even you must appreciate the ridiculousness of your post.

Monica is absolutely right in both her posts on this thread,
There is so much lumping of everyone together, millions of people who vote Conservative are written off by a few left wing posters on a regular basis.
Since Monica is not a Conservative voter, it gives more power to anything she says.
Hope all will note that it doesn’t work the other way round, there are never hate fuelled comments about Labour voters.
What is ridiculous Whitewave is the political equivalent of
Sectarianism, ( a one sided version) on all the political threads which we know for a fact ( since posters often say so) put many off saying anything at all.
