LBC caller hangs up on James O'Brien after failing to offer a Brexit benefit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- James O'Brien hosts a phone in asking callers to identify the most memorable Tory moment from the last 14 years.
James hears from caller Anne, who argues that the Brexit vote was 'not ridiculous' and those who voted for it are 'quite intelligent and quite informed'.
James goes on to ask Anne to outline the 'best bit' of Brexit but she refuses to give him an example.
They argue back and forth for seven minutes before Anne hangs up...

She's lived in her own echo chamber so long that she can't even comprehend there are alternative explanations or viewpoints or facts that contradict her beliefs.
Very silly lady, i voted Brexit because i was ignorant about it.I now deeply regret that vote and I am educating myself . Never again will I vote without some knowledge!
I have a massive amount of admiration and respect for people who have the guts to admit they were wrong. It shows intelligence, integrity and backbone. Well done to you.
Wise is what you are. I too voted for Brexit largely hoping most folk will vote to remain. As I saw many businesses using the influx of Eastern Europeans to continue to depreciate wages and undermine the British working classes. I hoped that my protest vote will cause the government to correct these issues. But unfortunately I must have been alone in my views. As the fools took charge. Hence I regret my vote to leave. I hope there is another referendum on re-joining Europe. I would put three x in one box to join.

This is what happens when you read the Daily Express/Mail for 30 years.
51% of the country did NOT vote for Brexit. 23% of the country did.
And over two million of those Brexit voters are now dead
That was the inherent flaw with the referendum in the first place.
Something as monumental, that would have generational implications, should have had a threshold of at least 2/3rd of the population participation.
@@jacqdanieles yes, minimum participation level and a super majority (60/66%)

Not only that, the same lies and unrealistic claims were allowed that is at the core of why people are becoming less and less invested in democracy.
We seem to be sleepwalking towards a Russian style autocracy.
Percentages shouldn’t have really mattered. There was nothing legally binding about the vote. It was basically one big opinion poll. They could have ignored the vote entirely and would probably have gotten a better election result than the one the Tories are about to get! 😂
Arrogance is a horrific thing. All mouth and no ears
I’m sure she has ears, it’s just that the brain they are connected to doesn’t work.

Look at this guy over here with his own horse...
8 years later and they want to applaud the Tories for given them something with no benefits!
It’s called a con.
They've gone around telling their mates how amazing Brexit would be, and repeating the three word slogans they were given, and now they look silly.
Tories gave nothing
Boris the quad glazing window salesman.
It's called *con*servative for a reason.
It's called gutter press brainwashing
It's amazing how these people can blame what Gordon Brown did 15 years ago for the state of the country now, but they can't accept the impact of Brexit
The financial crisis of 2008 that started in America meant that Gordon Brown was forced to bail out the banks, that's why there was a shortage of funds.
Also hilarious that when asked about why the current economy is a state, the answer becomes COVID! 😂 embarrassing
And it wasn’t even Gordon but us banks and sub prime mortgage bonds yeah I’ve watched the big short 😂
Especially when more money was wasted on Test and Trace. But hardly gets a mention.

No mate, that would be worse if labour was in power for these years.
Just wait and see now, just wait and see they're going to spend all the money the Tories have saved.
Probably on futile things like education, health-care, and social programs!
@@TheBaldOne I'm not your mate.
1:45 - "Name one?" "No, I'm not going to fall into that." Fall into what? The trap of actually backing up your ludicrous claims with some actual evidence?
This is my biggest hate with these arguments with disingenuous people. Just have some substance. Have an actual argument. Have evidence. James would destroy anyone like this because he knows what he is talking about and has the facts stored in his head and the brains to see things for what they are. As well as the humility to accept when those he supports mess up and admit it.
That was the line wasn’t it. Never have brexiteers been so perfectly summed up
Indeed the very idea of asking for evidence was appalling to this caller. I too have had someone (a Canadian conservative) claim I had deeply insulted them when all I did was ask for a link to an article or some piece of evidence.
51% of those who voted wanted brexit. Not 51% of the country. Not by a long shot.
Hey genius, those who did not bother to vote DID NOT COUNT. That is how it works.
Scottish Independence referendum had every English politician demand every registered voter would be eligible to vote.
Brexit referendum, they support only British nationals having a vote.
My point, swap the eligibility rule and both results would be the opposite of what they ending up being.
Should have voted then.
Highest voter turnout ever.
But the biggest turnout in history
Untill July 4th
Reform is coming 🇬🇧
"We are quite intelligent, we are quite informed" - proceeds to proof the opposite (what we suspected already)
That looong dead silence when she was like: "Can you repeat that?" Omg, ha, yes lady, so intelligent lol.
@@SH-bm8yp You hear that a lot on call ins when they've clearly been stumped. They're desperately trying to think of a retort so they come out with "Can you repeat that?" to try and buy themselves a bit more time to think of a response. The standard response after the question has been repeated to them is to change the topic without answering the question.
She's probably the kind that is posting "Vote Reform" every 2 minutes on the local buy and sell Facebook group 😳
Thank you for giggling openly and yawning when that woman blathered about Labour being responsible for the financial crisis that Sunak personally profited from.
It’s a not about who caused it. It’s about who fixed it badly. Everyone else had a growth plan .We had a spending cut plan..
Profited from? We were insulated from the US crisis until Two Fines and his 3 gang members collapsed a Dutch bank to extract £400,000,000 for themselves from. Two Fines literally cost the tax payer over half a trillion Pounds in 2008 alone. Then Pociophile Dave publicly interfered with the prosecution of his 2 co-conspirators in the UK to the point the judge had to shut the trial down on the grounds that they could "no longer be guaranteed a fair trial". If not for that interference they would have been jailed and Two Fines extradited back to the UK for trial.
Not only profited by worked for the hedge fund companies that caused it
@@johnrussell3961 The problem is, who caused it IS what it's about, because that's all the Conservatives ever go on about - lying that "it was Labour who crashed the economy". They've managed to successfully convince people of this lie regardless of what the follow-up plan was.
What an awful woman
Another person with literally nothing to say but wants to broadcast it to the nation
😂
it's always that generation - completely pointless to have around.
It was very important to those listening and not listening!? Ok, Anne.
Yeah James is like that.
Reminiscent of the lovely Mrs Whitehouse!
I live in the EU. They survived COVID and don't miss the benefits of England. Mortgage rates are low, I see my dentist within two days for free, my G.P on the day, my midwife on the day, no queues in hospital, the drs and nurses have a normal workload, insurance remains low, food prices are normal, cheap trains, refugees are processed through language and civil school for free and then supported to fill skill gaps, schools aren't overloaded and I earn more money looking after kids than I did as an NHS nurse. People like this woman are why England is broken. They regurgitate random headlines from the daily mail and the Sun.........
Same here, I too live in the EU. Saw it all coming. I know about import/export etc. It's sad, but I wouldn't move back to the UK.
“We’re quite informed”. We really are.
She's utterly clueless. Various laws 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Control of our borders lol
There are millions just like her. It's so frustrating.
omg how much did the Tories pay her to embarrass herself on national radio
She did that on her own accord. Gratis.
She is better than most of the cabinet for the last 7 years
Many believe they will embarrass this Presenter...After the phone call she will be telling all her equally brainwashed friend ''You just can't get though to that Man''
"We're not all ridiculous" Proceeds to be ridiculous. I despair of these idiots.

One Brexit benefit is: this lady will get finger printed, if she wants to go on holiday in Europe.

Hopefully the new Labour government will introduce a mandatory electronic ID even in the uk. After all, if they want to control immigration the government must have an easy and quick way to check who is a citizen/legal resident and who is not. Right? 😉

Why do people still call up James O'Brien and think that they can say things like this and he won't call out their nonsense. And yeah, if you voted Brexit you are not "well informed".
Ideal scenario is no-one calls him at all and LBC gives him his walking papers.

Or say anything factual.
It's frightening that people like her are allowed to vote on the future of our country.
@phil Well hopefully you'll cancel her out.😊
I constantly refer back to the late George Carlin, "think of the average voter, then remember that half of the voters are dumber than that".
Think about the question James is asking. Hypothetically, if Brexit did have the opportunity to Benefit the U.K, do you honestly think those benefits would come to fruition under a Tory government ? LOL.

The first benefit of Brexit will be Labour charging VAT on private schools.

@@BillyParker-sl6ji suprisingly no, due to the fact that the HMRC protect organisations registered as charities from paying VAT -- and public schools are registered as charities. So the acting government would have to tell HMRC to abolish the rule..

Ive got one, I think (just from my memory of reporting at the time) a lot of people wouldnt have made it through the lockdowns if we were in the eu, we bought enough vaccines for ourselves and the eu bought as a group and had to ration out what was left amongst everyone, we were faster to act and only had to look after ourselves
Just looked it up, the BBC have an article on the eu being too slow, everyone trailing behind the uk, and that the countries involved must have wished they'd went it alone... looks like leaving literally saved lives, its weird that its not (and wasn't) a widely reported benefit from brexit

They then continued austerity for the last 14 years, which is why the country is in a complete shambles. Even BEFORE Covid and the war in Ukraine came about as convenient excuses, the country was still in a dire state due to the aforementioned austerity.
