This just goes to show that Farage only became the influential force he did because so many journalists failed to properly challenge him and to force him to unpack his views. As soon as he meets one who does, the whole edifice falls to bits.
10 minutes in there hasn't been one question that enquires about farage's veiws. It's a been what opinion other people with various tenuous connections to farage holds and questions about a business that owes money.

Taken from UKIP policies: "(EU) Employment policies which make it impossible to employ. 1)Maternity leave. 2)Paternity leave. 3)Holiday entitlement. 4)Working time directive. 5)Minimum wage. 7)Unfair dismissal (Tribunals)" Unless you're a millionaire looking to open a workhouse, voting for UKIP is voting against your own interests. Good luck with that.
This is what leaving the EU is going to effect. But this is just a drop in the ocean of the problems. But all these people don't like employee rights. They don't like having a minimum wage to stop slave labour. Or maternity leave/pay for new mums/dad's. Being able to challenge unfair dismissal. The biggest one I have seen is "Right to free speech". This is an act of parliament which puts into UK law the European court of human rights. But oh well. All the leave voters hate the laws the EU make. Yet like freedom of speech.

Not really when you consider that Nigel as a parent does not speak to the children in any other language. When two or more people are in the presence of each other and where their first language is NOT english they will talk in their first language. As to whether they should do this is more a question of cultural etticut.

If both sides were grilled more thoroughly maybe the result would not still be questioned to this day - I think an in depth interview wit J C Juncker on a large radio station would have opened a few ears. We had bozos to the left and bozos to the right, but if you can think back to 2016 the political scene in the UK (or Europe) was not exactly awash with great figures.

My family nearly lost our home due to the E. U giving Ford Motor Company a cheap 80k loan to move to cheap labour Turkey on 2013. Fords of Southampton employed thousands of workers since the early 70’s. We now have 4 low paid jobs between the 2 of us to cover outgoings since 2013. That’s what the E.U did for thousands of people made redundant in Southampton due to encouraging greed. It’s the rich like you who don’t give a toss about hard working families.
@@chickedee1085 Hi, thanks for your reply. May I say i do give a toss, I really do, and I'm truly sorry about your difficulties. May I respond with this. There was nothing to stop the UK parliament introducing stronger minimum wage law to stop the cheap labour issue you describe - NOTHING. The minimum wage introduced by Labour, now the living wage under the Tories, was nothing to do with the EU, neither its existence nor its level, so it can be increased, and could have been before Brexit, at any time. Also, the EU allowed countries to have cautious immigration policies - look at Belgium for example, I know your point was about exporting jobs abroad, so I just mention that. Turkey isn't in the EU of course. So the despicable Ford decision - you mention 80k which to a company like Ford is peanuts - was a despicable business decision by them for which, may I suggest with full respect, they were to blame when you go to its root, not the EU. Please reply if you think I'm wrong - I'm always keen to learn! Best wishes.
😂😂😂 the ford motor story was nothing to do with a 80k EU invest 🤦 they spent millions relocationing and setting up shop in Turkey. It was purely a business decision. They went from making 22,000 vehicles in Essex a year too 185,000 in turkey. Turkey was the cheapest place they calculated they could go in Europe to do business...Europe the continent, not the EU. Turkey isn't a part of the EU, but a part of it is in Europe the continent. Sorry for your family issues, but don't blame the EU, blame the rich American business owners of ford who just want to make more money. The EU don't control where American companies set up shop

O'Brien is such a righteous c*nt who acts all high and mighty and surprised when he (or someone for him) discovers that a handful of people in certain positions arent perfect or hold views that dont sit well with his own.

Asking people hard questions that make them embarrass themselves with the truth isn't the same as a "gotcha" question. He let him answer and the answers were bad. You guys are so easily triggered and offended. You think everything is a personal attack or a gotcha question when, in fact, he was just holding up a mirror and Nigel showed hos true colors. This makes you angry and uncomfortable because you agree and are just as xenophobic and ignorant.
O'Brien is so calm throughout the interview. He's very good at making Farage feel uncomfortable. He has a provocative tone throughout, the interviewer knew exactly how to push Farage's buttons.
P Galway I never said he won. The fact you're being defensive goes to show that Farage did indeed lose, though. Get your tongue out of his arse, peasant. Read a book, educate yourself.
P Galway I didn't specify who I vote for, are you saying that anyone who doesn't vote for UKIP is uneducated? that statement evidences your stupidity. Your not self reliant or independent at all. You have allowed a transparent, self furthering man to manipulate you with made up statistics. You're a sheep. I'm not actually black, you realise that, right? are you really that slow?
P Galway I'm an Irish software developer living in London. I don't mean to brag here, but I probably earn more than your entire family. Maybe if you didn't sit on UA-cam blaming the world for your problems you'd have a better life.
P Galway Run my picture through Google images, it's just a random black guy. My claim wasn't even that far fetched, your reaction proves that I hit a nerve. You know you can change your profile picture to anything you want, right? The fact you're Irish is actually embarrassing.
So you want Romanians to work your agricultural land, clean your hotels and houses,build your houses, and basically cheap labour , but you are uncomfortable if they speak in their own language. But you are also not happy when they learn to write and speak English because they are going to move up and take your jobs. If racism was a person, it would look like him.
Fortunately, there is somebody out there like James O’Brien who is in a position to challenge all the self interested charlatans. Thankfully, Mr. O’Brien is sufficiently informed and intelligent and he also has the tenacity and the integrity to put it up to all of those people like that awful Nigel Farage person.
You see, this is what thoroughly irritates me about politicians: they seem pathologically unable to give a straight answer and not interrupt, behaviours that they criticise others for at the drop of a hat. If they would just say what they mean, admit when they've fucked up (even when presented with overwhelming evidence), I would respect them a whole lot more and in my eyes, it would make them more qualified to the classification of human being.
Agree completely. Just another reminder Farage is a politician like all the others - he pretends not to be, but he is. Same background, same tricks, same rhetoric - pathetic.
But you see, a straight answer is very often a trap. If a journalist asks you "when did you last hit your mother?", what sort of a straight answer are you going to give? You could say "I never hit my mother!" to which the journalist's response is often "so you're in denial?" A detailed answer, with groundwork preparations for context etc., is often required in order to strike the correct tone which the journalist is (quite wrongly) trying to skew. Of course, a balance has to be struck between political spin and journalistic bias - between deference on the one hand and overly adversarial questioning on the other - but the politician has to be as defensive against the truth being skewed as the journalist has to be about it being obscured.
***** ...maybe you wanna listen again. O'Brien interrupts to coax the truth out of Farage and get the straight answer, Farage interrupts to wriggle out of the various holes he's dug himself.
It cannot be underestimated how many lives have been blighted by this man and his supporters. People who are pillars of this society attacked for nothing more than their RACE and then talks of a balanced point of VIEW.
James Obrian - just 5 minutes in has already killed the typical Farage dance around the topic. Just by sticking on the topic and being informed, while asking the relevant question. Not more than 5 minutes of this and already Farage had to start of with a disclaimer. Amazing journalism. Cant wait to read your book
@@jim122 James is the only one I have come across that has held Fartiges feet to fire. He knew just how difficult it is to hold the toad to account, but he did an outstanding job. Fartige never came back for a re-match.
Whether it's the US or UK when I hear the thoughts on crucial issue that affect the country from delusional people I get really concerned about where we are going
Finally someone tackle the 'successful businessman' masquerade. Farage actually lied about his position in this failed enterprise. According to Company House records, Nigel Paul Farage (b.1964) was a director of the Farage Ltd. between 2003 and 2006. He was also secretary between 2004 and 2011. Now we know who will benefit from the 'right to be forgotten.
My wife is Indonesian and speaks excellent English. She works in the uk and pays tax. Her friends are part of our local community. Mostly, she and I speak English. Occasionally, I speak to her in my elementary Indonesian. I have noticed that when we speak ‘foreign’ on a bus, people sometimes feel uncomfortable. Once in Leeds, we got a glare of pure anger from a gentlemen in his 40s. I find this curious. In Singapore, where there are Indians, Malays and Chinese living together with a massive amount of ex-pats, all sorts of languages are spoken on buses and no one seems remotely uncomfortable
It's a sense of entitlement we've put up with for a long time and now they believe it's their birth right not to have to listen to our "barbaric" languages. Unfortunately, we too have been immersed in the colonial mentality from birth to buy into the silly narative of "if you don't speak English you're not sophisticated" and in essense co-signing our own oppression. They went around the world imposing their language and culture on the rest of the world but we are not allowed to even speak out languages to ourselves? You couldn't possibly make this up, their lack of an undersanding of their own history coupled with their lack of awareness is astounding!
I'm Kenyan and we have 40 plus languages, granted there is tribalism in the government but common folk speak each others languages, we embrace diversity
Brilliant from O'Brien. Classic Farage - not really interested in the detail or being held accountable, just obscuration, obfuscation and redirection, much aped by those who unfortunately followed this path..
On the contrary it was Jim O'Gobshite that was obfuscating by not allowing Farage to get a word in edgeways. Asking 3 questions per second doesn't show Jim O'Gobshite had Farage on the ropes, it shows he's a massive tw@t who was afraid to let Farage answer.
James OB is a KC-level inquisitor. Sharp, funny, incisive, calm… he wrongfoots Farage effortlessly. Simply the best. Makes BBC journos look like children

I love reading the comments from UKIP supporters backing up his stance but not really addressing points made, or calling him a straight talker. Cognitive dissonance writ large anyone?
The interviewer didn't once ask about the advantages or disadvantages about staying in the EU. He didn't once question Nigel on his policies. Instead he attacked him. What do you expect UKIP supporters to do?
I’ve only just seen this but well done. I’ve never seen him so uncomfortable and so exposed for who he is and what he stands for. Interview him again now!

The sooner LBC sack James O’Brien and employe someone from eastern Europe for 70% less wages only then will James understand what hard working people have to put up with
Nationality matters little to a consumer, why would I pay 70% more for a British person to do the job? The reality is British tradesmen overvalue themselves. Being British doesn’t make you inherently better than someone from Eastern Europe. Maybe if you spent less time hating immigrants and more time perfecting your trade you will be able to compete with the hard working immigrants.
So much of a fantasist he took the country out of the EU ,as he said he would 25 years ago and everyone laughed . What have you done that has changed the course of a story? . Absolutely nothing is your answer . Farage is a lot of things like we all are but not a fantasists.
Why does Nigel smoothly float through most political interviews - if challenged by someone who has done his/her homework -( like James clearly has) ,then his raxcist views, misinformation and lies are clearly exposed
The point is on a train in The UK and everybody around you hasn't bothered to integrate. I would if I was on a train. That's not racist, they could be talking about you.
Jack Heybourne What exactly do you think "integrate" means, exactly? People can speak whatever language they bloody want. I sometimes speak German even though I'm English and it's obviously my first language - tell me, have I "not bothered" to integrate? It's xenophobia, plain and simple.
Jack Something People can speak any language they want, that's their choice, but I would feel uncomfortable if everybody around me was speaking a different language. I take back the not bother to integrate part, but some people don't, some people don't need to.
Jack Heybourne I am at university and there are times on the bus when I am alone where everybody around me is speaking in Chinese to each other. It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable in the slightest because I'm not a paranoid loony. I know that if for whatever reason I needed to talk to them, they'd be able to respond in English. The lectures are in English so naturally every student here can speak English. Farage's point about schools is the same - why would there be kids in these schools that don't speak any English when every single lesson is taught in English?
@@billithekat1088 Question asked at 1:15 Farage was interrupted 4 times answering it. He may fool you but I am sure most can see he hasn't given Farage the chance to answer.
@@bradleywoods3742 That's because Farages "answers" were deflections and attempts to change the subject. Instead of letting him control the narrative and talk about whatever pleased him instead of answering the question, Farage was cut off and forced back to the actual issue. He's very slick, and too many so-called journalists let people like him blather on and control the conversation. There are querstions he doesn't want to answer and so, when they are put to him, he answers a different question. And often, he gets away with it.
Love it! People complain that this country is fucked up, and yet stick in this ridiculous cycle of choosing between two parties. Neither of them are working, nor have worked for a while now. UKIP is change. Regardless whether it is good or bad. Sometimes any form of change is required to break the cycle. As an Infantry Officer, I also welcome UKIPs proposals to increase Military Funding. And, maybe one day, if he is voted into power, he'll allow us to deal with the plague known as Islamification with force.
I just wish people new that there was other parties than Conservative, Lib Dems, Labour and UKIP. There's this lovely little party called NO2EU that isn't quite as draconian as UKIP. They believe in workers rights. UKIP want to make it legal for a man to rape his wife which is something straight out of the EDL/BNP's twisted view of Islam. They also want to do away with Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Holiday Pay and Statutory Maternity leave. So when your missus gets pregnant and you are away fighting for your country and they say your kid has to go hungry from birth because the military should be paying you more, you tell me if you still welcome UKIP. This might not be the case for yourself if you are on a reasonable living wage, but for the millions of people in this country that aren't on a living wage it will be the case. People only seem to be noticing the policies of UKIP that might benefit themselves while ignoring all of the policies that are eerily similar to the policies of Nazi Germany pre WWII. I'm pretty sure our grandparents fought someone that had a lot of views similar to Farage in that war and they'd be astounded if they knew what his and his cronies views really were, sadly though the only policies we hear about are their views on immigration and leaving the EU. They believe in a lot more than that but who's to say they'll even stick by that, they change their policies more than I change my socks.
I sincerely hope you aren't serving in the British army, spouting nonsense like that! Don't you understand that killing people because of their ideology only inflames the situation and makes it far, far worse? Hasn't Iraq or Afghanistan taught you anything?
UKIP don't represent change. They are bankrolled by exactly the same banking and big business interests as the other parties. Sure, they pose as being a party of the people, but they are in truth nothing of the sort. Look at their actual policies. They are an extreme Thatcherite party who want to strip away employment regulations and privatise the NHS for the benefit of big business, for example. An awful lot of people are being duped by UKIP and will get a nasty surprise if they ever get any sort of power.
Bad change isn't change worth voting for, and to say you're just voting for change regardless of whether it is good or bad, you're voting for serious disappointment. Further you've decided a whole religion need to be killed and you want first pull of the trigger
Soon in the U.K. we'll have something similar to the what happened in Norway, where a nutcase will feel that his prejudices and hatred are vindicated by Farage's narrative and go on to harm innocent people. Verbally this is already happening. My girlfriend and I, recently just racially abused whilst waiting for a taxi, my brother during a football match. I had never had this before and now occurs with worrying frequency.

If he was grilled like this on mainstream media, prior to referendum, maybe we would still be in EU.

If both sides were grilled more thoroughly maybe the result would not still be questioned to this day - I think an in depth interview wit J C Juncker on a large radio station would have opened a few ears. We had bozos to the left and bozos to the right, but if you can think back to 2016 the political scene in the UK (or Europe) was not exactly awash with great figures.

I so wish this has been shown on prime time TV before the Brexit referendum.
My family nearly lost our home due to the E. U giving Ford Motor Company a cheap 80k loan to move to cheap labour Turkey on 2013. Fords of Southampton employed thousands of workers since the early 70’s. We now have 4 low paid jobs between the 2 of us to cover outgoings since 2013. That’s what the E.U did for thousands of people made redundant in Southampton due to encouraging greed. It’s the rich like you who don’t give a toss about hard working families.
@@chickedee1085 Hi, thanks for your reply.
May I say i do give a toss, I really do, and I'm truly sorry about your difficulties.
May I respond with this. There was nothing to stop the UK parliament introducing stronger minimum wage law to stop the cheap labour issue you describe - NOTHING. The minimum wage introduced by Labour, now the living wage under the Tories, was nothing to do with the EU, neither its existence nor its level, so it can be increased, and could have been before Brexit, at any time.
Also, the EU allowed countries to have cautious immigration policies - look at Belgium for example, I know your point was about exporting jobs abroad, so I just mention that. Turkey isn't in the EU of course. So the despicable Ford decision - you mention 80k which to a company like Ford is peanuts - was a despicable business decision by them for which, may I suggest with full respect, they were to blame when you go to its root, not the EU.
Please reply if you think I'm wrong - I'm always keen to learn! Best wishes.
😂😂😂 the ford motor story was nothing to do with a 80k EU invest 🤦 they spent millions relocationing and setting up shop in Turkey. It was purely a business decision. They went from making 22,000 vehicles in Essex a year too 185,000 in turkey.
Turkey was the cheapest place they calculated they could go in Europe to do business...Europe the continent, not the EU. Turkey isn't a part of the EU, but a part of it is in Europe the continent.
Sorry for your family issues, but don't blame the EU, blame the rich American business owners of ford who just want to make more money. The EU don't control where American companies set up shop
Even if it was most British will not lay down on their backs like a dog for unelected EU ruler's we are a sovereign nation

You guys are so easily triggered and offended. You think everything is a personal attack or a gotcha question when, in fact, he was just holding up a mirror and Nigel showed hos true colors. This makes you angry and uncomfortable because you agree and are just as xenophobic and ignorant.
O'Brien is so calm throughout the interview. He's very good at making Farage feel uncomfortable. He has a provocative tone throughout, the interviewer knew exactly how to push Farage's buttons.

So you want Romanians to work your agricultural land, clean your hotels and houses,build your houses, and basically cheap labour , but you are uncomfortable if they speak in their own language.
But you are also not happy when they learn to write and speak English because they are going to move up and take your jobs.
If racism was a person, it would look like him.
Fortunately, there is somebody out there like James O’Brien who is in a position to challenge all the self interested charlatans. Thankfully, Mr. O’Brien is sufficiently informed and intelligent and he also has the tenacity and the integrity to put it up to all of those people like that awful Nigel Farage person.
You see, this is what thoroughly irritates me about politicians: they seem pathologically unable to give a straight answer and not interrupt, behaviours that they criticise others for at the drop of a hat. If they would just say what they mean, admit when they've fucked up (even when presented with overwhelming evidence), I would respect them a whole lot more and in my eyes, it would make them more qualified to the classification of human being.
Agree completely. Just another reminder Farage is a politician like all the others - he pretends not to be, but he is. Same background, same tricks, same rhetoric - pathetic.
Had a job to get a word in sometimes!!
Farage didn't interrupt, O'Brien did though.
But you see, a straight answer is very often a trap.
If a journalist asks you "when did you last hit your mother?", what sort of a straight answer are you going to give? You could say "I never hit my mother!" to which the journalist's response is often "so you're in denial?" A detailed answer, with groundwork preparations for context etc., is often required in order to strike the correct tone which the journalist is (quite wrongly) trying to skew.
Of course, a balance has to be struck between political spin and journalistic bias - between deference on the one hand and overly adversarial questioning on the other - but the politician has to be as defensive against the truth being skewed as the journalist has to be about it being obscured.
***** ...maybe you wanna listen again. O'Brien interrupts to coax the truth out of Farage and get the straight answer, Farage interrupts to wriggle out of the various holes he's dug himself.
It cannot be underestimated how many lives have been blighted by this man and his supporters. People who are pillars of this society attacked for nothing more than their RACE and then talks of a balanced point of VIEW.
James Obrian - just 5 minutes in has already killed the typical Farage dance around the topic. Just by sticking on the topic and being informed, while asking the relevant question.

Sympathies go out to the gentleman being bombard by the Indonesian language. I hope he recovered from the trauma.
It's a sense of entitlement we've put up with for a long time and now they believe it's their birth right not to have to listen to our "barbaric" languages.

Love it! People complain that this country is fucked up, and yet stick in this ridiculous cycle of choosing between two parties. Neither of them are working, nor have worked for a while now.
UKIP is change. Regardless whether it is good or bad. Sometimes any form of change is required to break the cycle. As an Infantry Officer, I also welcome UKIPs proposals to increase Military Funding. And, maybe one day, if he is voted into power, he'll allow us to deal with the plague known as Islamification with force.
I just wish people new that there was other parties than Conservative, Lib Dems, Labour and UKIP. There's this lovely little party called NO2EU that isn't quite as draconian as UKIP. They believe in workers rights. UKIP want to make it legal for a man to rape his wife which is something straight out of the EDL/BNP's twisted view of Islam. They also want to do away with Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Holiday Pay and Statutory Maternity leave. So when your missus gets pregnant and you are away fighting for your country and they say your kid has to go hungry from birth because the military should be paying you more, you tell me if you still welcome UKIP. This might not be the case for yourself if you are on a reasonable living wage, but for the millions of people in this country that aren't on a living wage it will be the case. People only seem to be noticing the policies of UKIP that might benefit themselves while ignoring all of the policies that are eerily similar to the policies of Nazi Germany pre WWII. I'm pretty sure our grandparents fought someone that had a lot of views similar to Farage in that war and they'd be astounded if they knew what his and his cronies views really were, sadly though the only policies we hear about are their views on immigration and leaving the EU. They believe in a lot more than that but who's to say they'll even stick by that, they change their policies more than I change my socks.
Pro militarisation and demonising a whole group of people.
Yeah, THAT hasn't been done before....
I sincerely hope you aren't serving in the British army, spouting nonsense like that! Don't you understand that killing people because of their ideology only inflames the situation and makes it far, far worse? Hasn't Iraq or Afghanistan taught you anything?
UKIP don't represent change. They are bankrolled by exactly the same banking and big business interests as the other parties. Sure, they pose as being a party of the people, but they are in truth nothing of the sort. Look at their actual policies. They are an extreme Thatcherite party who want to strip away employment regulations and privatise the NHS for the benefit of big business, for example. An awful lot of people are being duped by UKIP and will get a nasty surprise if they ever get any sort of power.
Bad change isn't change worth voting for, and to say you're just voting for change regardless of whether it is good or bad, you're voting for serious disappointment. Further you've decided a whole religion need to be killed and you want first pull of the trigger
Soon in the U.K. we'll have something similar to the what happened in Norway, where a nutcase will feel that his prejudices and hatred are vindicated by Farage's narrative and go on to harm innocent people. Verbally this is already happening. My girlfriend and I, recently just racially abused whilst waiting for a taxi, my brother during a football match. I had never had this before and now occurs with worrying frequency.
Wow this comment didn’t age well 🤦♂️
17.4 million people voted for Brexit and not one not even one has been able to defend it and yet people still try to justify it and listen to people like this.
James bangining on about german speaking wives and kids and Farage ignoring it is just beautiful.
Hahahaha, nice! Thank you James, you "had him on the ropes" constantly, very enjoyable.
History is proving James o brien correct.
O brien is never correct.
@@Willsey he has been bang on the money. You should listen to him.
@@Wolves942 I do listen to him giro. Every week day morning at 10 am. Hardly ever agree with him but I find it hard to turn off. He is infuriating. He has never got over brexit and should have had some counciling at some stage. He is very clever and won't tolerate any views that don't match his own. So just sneers and trys to trip them up.
@@Willsey you may not agree with him. But that doesn't make him wrong. He may wind you up, but it doesn't make him wrong. He is spot on about BRExit. Spot on about Boris, I disagree with him over the vaccine but he is probably right on that too.
He's a mud thrower, nothing more
2024, Farage has set the country on fire again. this interview needs studying
This guy is too blindingly bigoted to see himself clearly in the mirror. Does self awareness come to mind?
Another Libtard, I don't think you know what bigoted means!
@@roknroller6052 People who use empty words like 'libtards' are dumb, dull, sheepish and usually a bit racisty. That'd be you, chief.
I hope James can do this again next year, marking the 10 years since this excellent unpicking
A master class from Farage on deflection, ignoring, misleading, buck passing, evasion and just simpy not bothering to answer the questions asked.
I think it was O’Brien who kept moving the goalposts by asking new questions as soon as Farage started to answer any
@@userafpkYou definitely watched a different interview.
Farage says a director isn’t responsible for the running of a company- then who the flip is??
Thanks to Nigel’s drivel about immigration from the EU, we are now short of people in employment sectors like Airports, farming, food production the NHS, which is one reason why there are shortages of products on supermarket shelves, delays and cancellations at airports and prices are going up because companies can no longer employ people for the same money. Well done Nigel !!
another mainstream media sheeps point of view wise up fool
Do you watch world events this is happening all over the world including the EU thank net zero green agenda WEF
RL You are a thicko m8.
Airport workers were laid off because of the snowflake government policy. Suddenly covid19 is over and airlines and airport management have been caught with their pants down. They were happy to take the government grants, but still laid off most of the workforce
Were are the supermarket shortages? The staff shortages were caused by covid again. You don't understood how the cheap labour has undermined the wage growth for over 20 years. You live in a lefty snowflake bubble fella!
@Scimmia 18 people agree with him 0 with u so you ok snowflake
@Scimmia aww you used the S word. Some dude did it make you feel warm n fuzxy inside or does the racism overide that feeling 😅😅😅
Great interview James. Making sure that you get answers from this unpleasant individual.
Why? Is there a pleasant politician out there?
No matter what party a politician - especially one of the caliber of Farage - belongs to, if you hear them say smg along the lines of “The other day I was in public transport, and hearing so many people around me speak smg else than (insert the main language or languages of your country) made me uncomfortable” should set off ALL sorts of alarm bells in your head
classic example of hearsay
@@osamafarooq1669children of immigrants...especially from a poor background where there are no native speakers Often end up educationally behind other groups. The left says this inequalitu is due to racism which is clearly false. O 'brain isn't clever as he thinks. Look at the riots in Paris poor neighbourhoods to see the failure of multiculturalism.
@@osamafarooq1669he admitted it. It came out of his face, on camera. That's not hearsay, that's evidence.
"I don't know" that should be Nigel's political phrase.
"I feel uncomfortable on trains when they speak foreign languages". Thanks for clearing up your racism.
Whats wrong with that? His point is that there are very few English people in London anymore. Doesnt make it racism. He just doesnt like it. This is thing. The whole Left is about having the same opinion as you. We dont. Reform now at 20% in the polls. Labour has had its day.
Well done James. So much wish more interviewers were like you
“I make sure we stick to our principles” and if you don’t like them I have some more, to paraphrase Groucho Marx.
Hi, Mr James Obrien this is Luiz C. Credidio form Brasil. I love your work and I watch your interviews since I've got to know about them. I'm a big fan of yours, even though it's difficult, because of the British accent! Please you need to talk about President Bolsonaro and all the problems he has caused to our fantastic people.
James is a legend, this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen! Exceptional research, delivered exceptionally!
I'd feel very confident taking a bet youre one of those remainers from the loosing side of the 2016 referendum @jamesmagee1561
UKIP falling apart like a cheap suit.
But it isn't though is it. That's just your moronic wishful thinking isn't it. UKIP memberdhip is in fact rising fast.
Pete Clegg ah the ‘memberbhip’ #moronsrising
Not long later it proved otherwise
@@peteclegg1578 And now they barely exist, it’s pretty clear now who’s thinking is moronic and it isn’t me lad. 😂
@@sianjallen Typical Kipper intellect.
I would like to see a similar interview with Jacob Rees Mogg. Regardless of my political bias I think all politicians should be interviewed similarly.
I think he did interview Mogg
@@kingflixmovies837 Yes but I do not think it was as cutting.
he did one and Mugg got put in the ground. it was truly pathetic.
I agree!!! But Why is he on a radio show that only people that agree with him listen to????? he needs to be heard
He’s interviewed Moggy and did get the better of him, but Moggy’s pretty unflappable and never lost his poise, unlike Farage who’s getting rattled here.
Interviews like this will galvanize UKIP voters even more!
I'm already galvanized brother...But am I Racist for supporting UKIP ?
UKIP has members from many different races and creeds, I suppose they must be brainwashed 'Uncle Toms' in O'Briens opinion!
...Well get some of them on the show and see how O'Brien fares with them, they'll rip him a new one...AYE!
Bloody disgraceful LBC!
DURTYORANGEMASTER I know many blacks who agree with what UKIP are saying, I agree with some of the things also and I'm far from an Uncle Tom!
Erryl Zakari I'd rather vote UKIP than any other party.
Erryl Zakari That's my point Erryl, they would have everyone believe that UKIP has only white people voting for them and that only whites are concerned about immigration, they choose to ignore any feedback from non white Brits cos then they can't then use the Racist card as a deflection...It aids their agenda which is basically overthrowing democracy both on the European mainland and here in the UK.
O'Brien is a fool, he mentions 40% of Brits think UKIP is a Racist Party...ignoring the 60% who don't.
I'm Afraid that the ignorant 40% he mentions have obviously been listening too much to fools like O'Brien without doing any research themselves...Sheeple I think they're called...can't wait till the 22nd of May...All Hell is going to break loose and fools like O'Brien can kiss my Non Racist Lilly white arse!
John CD then you are deranged
13:30 the lie that started it all: the fallacy that we ever had an ‘open door’
Considering that Brexit won the referendum, how is that immigration plan going Nigel?
It's not nigels fault the elite establishment don't stop or limit immigration. The electorate has ben duped by the mainstream politicians who never had the will or means to limit immigration. It is the piticians of the main parties who should be made to answer questions of why or how they are enabling increased immigration after brexit!!😢
totally forgot his PA had to come in and rescue Nige from the rinsing- lol, not a serious person.
easy win for James. he's way too smart for farage. ol nigel fell into every trap
@Colby he gave him just enough rope every time, to hang himself with
One man changed politics in the UK and Europe from outside of Parliament and caused Brexit which in turn helped Trump win, the other is a radio broadcaster who can't even discuss topics without showing how much of an ignorant, obnoxious ,uninformed bully he is. I think you've got your smart's mixed up.
@@crouchingtiger9108 Nope
@@yutyuiiu yep
This is the first time I’ve seen this fully… wow how does anyone take Farage seriously … unbelievable
What an interview, watching farrage run into wall after wall again is quite fascinating.
Wow ripping into bilingual people, while being part of a bilingual family.
He complained about 'foreigners speaking in theoir native tongue on a train' who were actually speaking Welsh, then got caught out by a caller asking him why he'd lived in Brussels for 20years and not bothered to learn any French... Bigotry always comes with a large baggage of hypocrisy, every time!
A bilingual family speaking German and Farage's unique UKIP brand of gibberish.
He also used Roma and Romanian interchangably.
