My Muslim neighbours, who have recently moved into our street, came around a week ago with some freshly cooked samosas in their hands to share with us, on a cold winter afternoon. The lady was wearing a headscarf. They didn't blend in; they stood out as kind hearted and open minded family.
Don't you understand those stuck in thier remote houses, totally disconnected from the rest of the human race, totally out of touch , do not know how to be be just social , without making about one up manship
Thats what these idiots don't understand, if you drop your unwarranted fear & simply engage with different cultures you can make incredible connections with some of the kindest friendliest people you could ever wish to meet.
Thats how they get you. They're nice and neighborly and get you to lower your guard. Next thing you know, you're treating them like human beings. Now its too late
I was born to Asian parents in the UK, but grew up here, school, uni, now I work for the NHS here and try and be an upstanding member of society. I have a friend from uni who was also born to immigrant parents in the UK, but his parents were from Poland. We have compared experiences, I have, sadly, experienced a lot of racism in my life. Dan has experienced none. Even though we are both first generation born here. Neither of us are religious or have anything else that marks us out. The only difference between us is my skin is dark and his is white. Anyone who says this isn't racism is deluding themselves.
More than agree with you and it is sad I have to. I am Dual Heritage and even though I teach music and attended the Royal College of Music, I am sometimes stereotyped as bad, selling drugs all because of my Carribean Heritage of which I am proud of.

That guy really bieves that no Western woman will wear hijab. Every Western muslim I know who wears hijab wears it voluntarily. The whole point of the Islamic dress code for women is so that we will be KNOWN to be believing women. Our covering is part of our identity. We will not "blend in" instead of obeying our Lord.

I've been lucky enough to have had a job that has taken me around the world working with some extremely nice people and the one thing I can say is it doesn't matter where people are from or what religion they are we are all the same trying to look after our families in any way we can, racism is the sign of an uneducated person who thinks they are better than everyone else when in fact the opposite is the case.
Or they could just feel like John Cleese said, when he pointed out that your 'tolerance' has erased England, that England no longer stands here, that English Values and Principles have been eradicated from England. The English people, entirely dispossed and silenced in what was once their homeland.

Phil is a product of a person who has lived his life in a bubble, never interacted with a another person from a different cultural, or different perspectives on life. I love the way James handled him.
Years of experience dealing with idiots. After a while you just ask them to explain the meaning of the words that they are using. It usually turns into a comedy show at that point.
I am always concerened that James gas lights callers who have genuine concerns about the problems we are facing. He should just talk to the lefty bubble who live in nice leafy areas. Many people are sick of this hypocrisy.
"That is cultural appro-- that is cultural indoctrination". He almost said appropriation because it's another buzzword floating around for people like him to get mad about.
@@Lasquez111 that's the point though? James knows exactly what Phil is saying because he's only saying anything if you read between the lines. What he's trying to do is get Phil to realise that he's called a national radio show and his only point is "I judge people based on the colour of their skin"

I'm new here from Texas and James might be my new favorite person in the world. I love when intelligent, witty people hold these people's feet to the fire and outmatch them in intelligence at every turn. The way to my heart. 🖤
because they think they're intelligent and will show him up with their bulletproof argument that has more holes than swiss cheese and soon find out they aren't quite as smart as they think they are so they get defensive with embarrassment. pretty simple really
Phil. The kind of guy who saves up all year to spend two weeks in Majorca and spends his entire time there eating and drinking British food and drink because he doesn't like "that foreign muck", then goes home after 2 weeks and orders an Indian or a Chinese takeaway because there's no food in the house.
If Phil had to go live in a different country (like Greece) would he try to "blend in"? Or would he just expect everyone to speak English? and get annoyed with anyone who doesn't? I have a feeling trying to "blend in" would be the last thing he'd do.
The more important question is, would he speak English at home or Greek? Would he celebrate English festivals or Greek festivals? If he isn't trying to "blend in," he doesn't belong there.
Fish and chips. The chips were invented abroad. If you would ask him, if he knows that, he would tell you, they are an english food. Same is for tomatoes.

@Raymondo666 Another punter who has the ‘woke’ ‘feeling’. I’m looking for one who has a definition. Or are you just easily offended by anyone who disagrees with you on anything? And as far as I can tell, being easily offended is the basis of this ‘woke’. Clarify if I’m incorrect, but you sound woke.
What boggles my mind is that these people voted for Brexit because they wanted to stop immigration. Brown immigration especially. Must have skipped geography class at school.
Coming from across the pond, I love this guy. I love how he tries to make people define the words they use. The big word here in the USA is "woke" but most people who throw this around can't define it.
Defining woke is easy. It is an ideology that views all sociological phenomena as symptoms of some systemic device. In particular, it views all social ills as symptoms of systemic oppression.

Why do these kinds of people have an issue with Muslim women covering up but no issues with nuns? Both are covered for religious reasons. It really does baffle me. Let people wear what they want! Us brits do NOT blend in abroad, to the point most of Europe are getting sick of us 😮
The fact that you can identify a nun and you can't when some Muslim women cover everything possible, there are even outfits that cover the eyes. I think most people don't find it particularly friendly or safe.
@@mellow.marketer5677 Not sure what modernist churches you’ve been in but being in a large darkly barely lit church room with women wearing veils isnt “easy to identify” Most muslim women wear the hijab as nun’s do, the small number who wear the Burqa still take it off at airports or security checkpoints
I think you should treat people how you want to be treated. Case in point. I was travelling, with my mum, on a bus. We had to change busses and two Muslim women held my mum's arms as we crossed the road. And even when mum started talking about religion they just nodded politely. I would be proud to call them neighbours. Can British people stop being so bigoted. 😒🇬🇧💜

Learn the meaning of the word or phrase.
I've very happily lived out of the UK in the EU for the past 14 years. I left when I was 30-ish to be with my Spanish husband and I am now a Spanish citizen. Prior to that I spent 30 years living in London. My best friends were a Muslim, a Hindu, a Jamaican Christian, and me, an atheist. We all lived on the same street were around the same age and we had a cracking time throughout most of my 20's and early 30's. We had "Phil" who lived on the street and regularly got my Muslim and Hindu friends confused and was regularly corrected on bible verses by my Christian friend and we all found it hilarious. The only people who won't blend in are people like Phil because they refuse to. I will never be sad I left the UK.
Hunny do you think that spain is going to shelter the storm? Their demographic death date might be later than ours but it will still Barcelonise nonetheless. You are proving his point that you moved to spain where you are a free woman and you did not move to Afghanistan did you? Or eqypt, or Morocco, or saudi. Funny that.
I also know the culture, i lived in a shanty town in egypt for months and was overwhelmed by the hospitality shown by people who would often offer you the last food in their fridge to make you feel welcome. I felt embarrassed comparing my neighbours in uk who i barely know to egyptian standards in hospitality and kindness.

@@Jcook941I have a strong dislike for James because of virtue signal attitude. I wonder how many of these "channel crossing migrating people" will he take into his house?? I really don't like James.
James asks them what these words mean because they’re so clearly pulled from rhetoric, not used as accurate descriptors. If you don’t understand the words or topics you use, don’t talk.
I think loads of people, myself included, use words we may not fully understand/know the definition of... BUT at the very least you can't be mad that people ask you to explain what those words mean to you. I'll admit I don't know what the definition is, but still do my best to describe what I think of when I hear or say said word. Phil couldn't even do that and just got angry. Amazing.
@@bananaz572171 Spot on. If you use a word or a phrase it matters little what the textbook definition is but more so what it means to you. Phil was trying to be clever and pretend his views are not xenophobic and prejudice by using a large helping of word salad that he was not prepared to truly explain.
It's a debating tactic, James O'Brien knows the definition of the word, the audience knows what he means by saying things like, for example, "cultural differences". But James O'Brien would rather get lost in the weeds looking for the caller to give a pristine definition than to just accept the 3 parties in the conversation understand what he means.
It’s embarrassing to move back to the UK and hear and see all this. Utterly embarrassing but so sad too, I’m laughing at parts of this but deep down it’s just so sad. Education is failing here.
Education? i think its 30/40 years since Phil was part of the education system. The children in the british education system currently are diverve and understand diversity.
To all those who think that James was interrupting the caller - I agree. However, if the caller had simply stated his obvious concerns - that he didn’t want to live in an area full of dark-skinned people with religious beliefs that he rejected - I doubt that James would have interrupted him at all, but engaged in discussion about why he felt like that. Instead, he chose to try and mask his true feelings and got himself caught out like an idiot. James was entirely correct to ask him to say what he means.
You can’t really interrupt someone who isn’t actually saying anything. Nothing he was saying really made a point, or any form of coherent idea. It was just a ranty wobbling.
False. I'm sure most people think immigration is fine. It becomes a problem when it's forced on your area and the demographics of your home land changes, the culture changes, and crime goes up, and people just tell you to shut up and listen.
@@steveharrison76James was asking certain questions the caller would fail to answer straight forward 😅 ..he would simply try to get the called answer the question ...

This guy doesn’t sound much like a centrist (he just sounds like a small town bigot to me) but centrists certainly do exist and are capable of leaning both left and right.
As a Pole living in Britain I blend in very well. By being polite, empathetic, open-minded and by embracing the culture and practices of the UK while preserving my own. But the caller wouldn't see it by looking at me living next-door to him. And he wouldn't see all that looking at his non-white neighbours either.

The funny thing is that as a Muslim, I’m not only a decently nice neighbor because I’m a decent human being and I like to be nice to others, but also because I KNOW as part of my faith, I will have hard time getting into heaven if I’m not a responsible kind neighbor! This is true!
I am an atheist and I hope I am a decent human being. Religion has no weight when it comes to being decent, you either are or you are not. There is no evidence of an afterlife but when I am about to croak it I want to go thinking that I did no harm
Why do you believe there is a heaven? Because you have been told there is? What evidence is there for heaven existing? I'm only asking as I don't believe in heaven but I'm still a nice person who is nice to others. You really don't need to have any faith to be a polite and considerate person.
In Trinidad & Tobago we celebrate as a country, Divali, Eid-ul-Fitur, Christmas, our national dish is a version of African jollof rice, and Chinese culture is foundational with no race or culture wars, because we've learnt about each others culture.

But the Brits and Spanish share many values, generally liberal, both enjoy a cerveza at a bar/pub, allow women to dress as they see fit, love football, protect the rights of the persecuted, the pursuit of justice. They share culture where it counts. European. High immigration leaves little chance for a homogenised society, multiculturalism has failed even Merkel admitted that. It's society segregated.

The caller is not talking about people of other culture or religion. He is talking about himself. Even a white British christian person is a problem to him if that person doesn't look like him, behave like him and have the same personal values as him.
Not sure he has values , plenty of dislikes bet he was a hanger on to the school bully. Basically he is scared of life and feels safe only when he thinks those around him are like him. I am guessing his society is getting smaller and smaller until that guy in the mirror doesn't look like him.

I think we all knew what Phil meant. however, he didn't have the ballz to say it on radio. Phil sounds like one of those middle aged blokes who wear barbour, live in the country, drive a range rover purely to impress others, and twitches his blinds whilst drinking red wine being nosey and gossiping at what's going on at number 52. Probably plays golf too. "The wannabes" imagine what's said behind closed doors! Centrist? Doubtful, I'm guessing lifelong Tory voter.
@sean Phil would probably aspire to the stereotype you describe but there's a level of biterness that suggests he didn't make it and he's looking for someone to blame.
He doesn't. If you put bias aside and listen to this again you will realise that James O'Brien is patronising and does not allow the guy to speak or finish what he is saying before jumping to the next loaded question. Yes I don't like what he has to say but from the perspective of trying to understand why he has the views he has, I am no further enlightened and I can't imagine that after this exchange the guy will go away and rethink his views and become a better more welcoming person. Never noticed things like this until the conditioning filters deactivated and stopped listening to what I wanted to hear and instead concentrated on how communication being the key is the problem.

I’m afraid this isn’t exclusive to the UK. I live and work in Denmark (originally from the UK with what Peter Eustinov would have called pink skin). After 8 years here I’m integrated and speak fluent Danish. My friends, neighbours and work colleagues are Danish and I love it here. Once in a while though I catch a colleague complaining about immigrants. My usual comment is along the lines of ‘yeah, those f….g foreigners, we should throw them all out’. The usual response is a bit of a nervous laugh - they get the point of course. One friend once said to me , ‘oh no, not you, we don’t think of YOU like that’. The mind boggles.
Yes, because you blend in. My parents came to UK from Uganda 60 years ago. In Uganda, they were taught by English teachers because the country was still a colony when they were in school - they had a British education and spoke/wrote perfect English; both my grandfather's fought for Britain in WW2, in Burma, they were in the King's East African Rifles. My parents were Christian and were active members of the church when I was growing up, they wanted my sisters and I to fit in - we were involved in the scouts and did voluntary work. My children and I are all born in London, we are black do we 'blend in'?
Translated: "These people aren't like us; they're different people with different values and we don't want them in our country." Kinda sounds like the language from 1930s Germany, but I don't think we're allowed to say that...

These views require echo chambers and repeated slogans.

That guy really bieves that no Western woman will wear hijab. Every Western muslim I know who wears hijab wears it voluntarily.

They choose to go and live amongst their own communities. That's why pockets of London, and even whole cities now (Leicester, Bradford etc), are made up of certain demographics. White Brits will soon be a distant memory.
Meanwhile O'Brien lives in a 90%+ lily white community. He doesn't have to deal with the coloured masses of the world, "that's for the peasants to deal with." He said.
@@nekoyasha9263wait, so why is he living in a theocracy then?
the nutshell is colonisation
Phil said that he doesn't want women to cover up best not tell him about nuns then 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

That’s voluntary.

@@Officialnrb I’ve never seen a nun in a top and blue jeans! Have you?
The funny thing is that as a Muslim, I’m not only a decently nice neighbor because I’m a decent human being and I like to be nice to others, but also because I KNOW as part of my faith, I will have hard time getting into heaven if I’m not a responsible kind neighbor! This is true!
Im sorry for all the hate you guys have to suffer these days. Its sick
I believe you. But I feel sorry for you that you are brainwashed by a religion. There is no heaven. Most intelligent people know that.
@@dogzero1 You know that for a fact?
I am an atheist and I hope I am a decent human being. Religion has no weight when it comes to being decent, you either are or you are not. There is no evidence of an afterlife but when I am about to croak it I want to go thinking that I did no harm
Why do you believe there is a heaven? Because you have been told there is? What evidence is there for heaven existing? I'm only asking as I don't believe in heaven but I'm still a nice person who is nice to others. You really don't need to have any faith to be a polite and considerate person.
In Trinidad & Tobago we celebrate as a country, Divali, Eid-ul-Fitur, Christmas, our national dish is a version of African jollof rice, and Chinese culture is foundational with no race or culture wars, because we've learnt about each others culture.
I live in Spain. There are many Brits here who definitely don't blend in. Especially the ones who come for the football or retire in British-only communities on the Mediterranean coast. I don't care at all, but everybody outside their own country stands out a bit.
That true, and they have the audacity to talk about others.
But the Brits and Spanish share many values, generally liberal, both enjoy a cerveza at a bar/pub, allow women to dress as they see fit, love football, protect the rights of the persecuted, the pursuit of justice. They share culture where it counts. European.
High immigration leaves little chance for a homogenised society, multiculturalism has failed even Merkel admitted that. It's society segregated.
@@PF9O like what, besides being white
@@mphomokoena8835 I just listed multiple things and you had to make it about race again.
@@PF9O those things are cultural all over. The world.. but multiple cultures and multiple races.. so i don’t see the point, just pointing the obvious your scared to say. I’m black South African, I enjoy ibiya(beer/cerveza) at my local Chisa nyama(bar).. we allow our woman to dress as they see fit, love idiski(football)…living here in the UK over 12 years now working as a chef(best place for a culinary career)… but to most people even though I share all this with them being from Africa is a problem for them.
I Was recruited to come here, never crossed the chanel, never arrested, no benifits but every year I’ve been here I’ve been told to go home where I come from and I’m taking British jobs 😀. but If was European and white it would be ok, That’s the only time people like you accept multiculturalism(when people loom like them) because beers,pubs and football as you labelled them “cultural” similarities aren’t culture they are a leisure of choice and recreation something you choose to be support or partake in, culture is not! Your born into culture no matter your race.. as Europeans you only share the colour of your skin but culturally your different in so many ways
You can tell Phil has lived his entire existence in a quaint English village reading the Daily Mail.
And???
....heaven forbid Mikey boy....😂
Phil actually is The Male online.
(See Viz magazine)
so whats wrong with that? it is called culture

Enjoy your Muslim family of 12 with repeating daily call to prayers.
@@AleXoEx0 nice way to show how little you know, considering that prayers can be performed in near silence
@@nsagoogle9581 I think they mean the call to prayer, which is briefly played out of loud speakers from the mosque. It may well be annoying, but it's no different from any other noise when you live in a city, or society in general. Taking issue with it (over dogs barking, motorbikes, kids screaming, loud music) is just intolerance against one culture.

@@kieranhardy581still waiting on an answer 😂
@@Sc25515 exactly.
The caller is not talking about people of other culture or religion. He is talking about himself. Even a white British christian person is a problem to him if that person doesn't look like him, behave like him and have the same personal values as him.
I bet his favourite colour is beige and favourite ice cream is vanilla with no flake 😂
Sorry, his preferences upset you.
@@createmistakes 🤫don’t tell him I told you , but VANiLLA is very dark brown with BLACK Seeds.
Not sure he has values , plenty of dislikes bet he was a hanger on to the school bully. Basically he is scared of life and feels safe only when he thinks those around him are like him. I am guessing his society is getting smaller and smaller until that guy in the mirror doesn't look like him.
@@Andysnowflake12 Well Snowflake, they are offensive...
Nah cos its wild to say "I don't want to see women cover up" completely seriously
I've got a Muslim family living next door and they are lovely, happy they are my neighbors and not someone like him.
i think he doesn't want a Muslim next door because he thinks they are extremist, without realizing how extremist he is himself.
@@forestsunset9617 Exactly .
.....who's not a Muslim...mmm......

Gymnastics would suggest a level of grace and direction, this was more like verbal falling down the stairs.
I thought he was going to disappear up his own backside.
Trying to hide his power level.
Yes! Handicapped gymnastics!

I used to live next to a mixed Muslim/Catholic couple.. lovely young couple, they were..!
I can't believe we are still having these conversations, It seems like we are going backward
We have already gone backwards
I’m afraid it’s not about going backwards but more about revealing how a majority of the UK voters have been and still are deep down inside.
"it seems like we are going backwards".
A poll of young girls and women aged 13 to 18, found the majority, (80%) didn't feel safe going out on their own, Info from Girlguiding June 2021.
That's why we are still having these conversations .
There was no other direction it was going.
@@trytellingthetruth.2068- and what - exactly - has that got to do with the vid??
I still don't understand why people phone up about a topic, get questioned on what they say, and then say they won't go down this road because they think he's trying to catch them out.
"May all your neighbours blend in". Excellent.
Im gonna paint myself like a brick wall. So I may blend in…
I think we all knew what Phil meant. however, he didn't have the ballz to say it on radio. Phil sounds like one of those middle aged blokes who wear barbour, live in the country, drive a range rover purely to impress others, and twitches his blinds whilst drinking red wine being nosey and gossiping at what's going on at number 52. Probably plays golf too. "The wannabes" imagine what's said behind closed doors!
Centrist? Doubtful, I'm guessing lifelong Tory voter.
How awful of him to stereotype and generalise…
Reminded my of Billy Connelly's routine about the middle class! 😁
Wonder if he knows ranger rover and jaguar is own by tata motors (india). He probably thinks its british makers that mr phil.
@sean Phil would probably aspire to the stereotype you describe but there's a level of biterness that suggests he didn't make it and he's looking for someone to blame.
@The embarrassing Tony Evans I'm glad Phil talks to you on your level.
This whole call is “I wish it was 1980 again” 😂
who doesn't. Much better times.
Soon be 1930 again thanks to the likes of obrain dead
Less knife crime but I guess it is part and parcel....
1890 more like

Thank you James. You have the patience of a saint.
I think we can all agree that Phil would be an awful neighbor.
Imagine Phil judging and scrutinising you to see if you and or your family live up to his standards!
I love how he says back exactly what it is that callers say...and they get angry at him for it.
He doesn't. If you put bias aside and listen to this again you will realise that James O'Brien is patronising and does not allow the guy to speak or finish what he is saying before jumping to the next loaded question. Yes I don't like what he has to say but from the perspective of trying to understand why he has the views he has, I am no further enlightened and I can't imagine that after this exchange the guy will go away and rethink his views and become a better more welcoming person. Never noticed things like this until the conditioning filters deactivated and stopped listening to what I wanted to hear and instead concentrated on how communication being the key is the problem.
An excellent example of someone who calls in only to hear themselves rant.
Peace on earth, and "May all your neighbors blend in"
What about 400,000 Brits living in Spain Phil? Narrow-minded people like this guy made people of this country manipulated into Brexit vote and now the consequences are pilling up...
....your diction is appalling...please make an effort otherwise many people are going up miss your point.......
I’m afraid this isn’t exclusive to the UK. I live and work in Denmark (originally from the UK with what Peter Eustinov would have called pink skin). After 8 years here I’m integrated and speak fluent Danish. My friends, neighbours and work colleagues are Danish and I love it here.
Once in a while though I catch a colleague complaining about immigrants. My usual comment is along the lines of ‘yeah, those f….g foreigners, we should throw them all out’. The usual response is a bit of a nervous laugh - they get the point of course.
One friend once said to me , ‘oh no, not you, we don’t think of YOU like that’.
The mind boggles.
Why is it only forced on whyt/Western countries? Nobody voted for it.
Yes, because you blend in.
My parents came to UK from Uganda 60 years ago. In Uganda, they were taught by English teachers because the country was still a colony when they were in school - they had a British education and spoke/wrote perfect English; both my grandfather's fought for Britain in WW2, in Burma, they were in the King's East African Rifles. My parents were Christian and were active members of the church when I was growing up, they wanted my sisters and I to fit in - we were involved in the scouts and did voluntary work. My children and I are all born in London, we are black do we 'blend in'?
Translated: "These people aren't like us; they're different people with different values and we don't want them in our country."
Kinda sounds like the language from 1930s Germany, but I don't think we're allowed to say that...
....you are entirely free to express your idiocy....
@@chatham43 as are you...

We could just have a referendum on if we want to allow any more asylum seekers into this country. If we vote no then that is it, no more asylum seekers. It's called democracy. Let the people decide.
He isnt putting them into a corner. At no point did this caller mention race, he mentioned culture and religion.
@@timmyripkey2030the reason he can't articulate is because he has just been taken hook line and sinker by the right wing media who tell him to be angry at people, and here is Phil being angry and passionate about a topic and not realising he doesnt know why and realising he has never actually been challenged in these views. These views require echo chambers and repeated slogans. As soon as the reinforcement pattern is interrupted Phil is stunned and can't figure out what to say, like an ant removed from the pheromone trail
