isnt that how the brits who voted to leave the EU based their vote solely on emotions including fear of foreigners - nothing to do with rationale or facts - regardless of country all conservative parties base their policies on irrational emotions that will always win at the voting box even the people that continuously vote against their own interests because delusional fear always outweigh rationale
Usually if you say something like “it’s all the lies and stuff”, everyone is going to nod and agree. They all have opposing views but there’s no denying the fact that lying is no longer scandalous for any politician.
Believing our house shortage, school places and NHS struggles would be helped by free movement is hardly intellectual. I would say the majority of people are just a mouth piece of the very people who profit from a supply of labour that outstrips demand. Where we are now cannot be completely contributed to us leaving the EU. Which by the way is also in a recession and also includes the US.
@@matthewfindlay9010 We don't have enough builders, teachers and nurses. Cutting off the supply of workers is hardly going to help that. Also in modern supply side economics the supply of labour is always the limiting factor. Increasing costs due to labour shortages is hardly going to help the people at the bottom that are hit hardest by the cost of living crisis. Thats why we introduced a minimum wage so labour supply cannot drive down wages of the lowest paid. Labour shortages driving inflation will whack them though. The US isnt in recession its economy grew 4.4%. Neither is the EU. Ours shrank .8%.
Clearly you must be so dumb yourself to need somebody else to run the hot tap. Which makes Andy better than yourself, considering that he does not need to ask somebody else to run the hot tap.
Brexit was the largest most successful rage farming operation ever to occur. They riled people up about the bogeyman EU, using pithy easily digestible slogans. And when people are angry, they don't stop and look for facts. And Andy is the poster boy of that.
"We never sold cars in the single market" - in 2019 51% of UK-manufactured cars were exported to the EU "Germany failed to support Ukraine" - Germany's humanitarian aid to Ukraine has been nearly 10 times that of the UK, including accepting over 1 million refugees
Those Ukrainian refugees being coders, mathematicians, nuclear scientists, doctors, etc... I hope they get back to their country once there is peace but it's the type of brain drain that cements an economic lead for decades if they stay and integrate into the economy. That UK is not even equipped or prepared because in a moment of a labour shortage they call asylum and refugee seekers invaders has got to be top shelf economic self sabotage. This guy distrusts leaders for their incompetence then proceeds to vote for the very same people he just called incompetent without the slightest hint of irony.
When you argue with an idiot, they will win, they have had more practice. What scares me is he is a coach driver, he transports people and cant even seem to focus on a single thing.
You beat me to it! Just one more observation" How would this caller react to a million refugees arriving on UK soil? Yeah, didn't think so. So much for "supporting Ukraine".
Too many people in the Uk are politically indolent for there to be any hope of change in the near future, Andy is a prime example of someone who believes he has worked it all out, but in reality he's just been reading, and parroting Tory propaganda for years! Undisturbed indoctrination of the easily swayed!
I notice James sometimes confuses the terms, free trade, custom union & single market. They're not the same, each one is a term to describe deeper stages of economic integration ending with fiscal union. The UK has a free trade agreement with the EU but the reason it can not engage in friction less economic exchange it once had is because we left the 3rd stage of economic integration, the single market.
@@AB-zl4nh he literally told the caller that the UK has a free trade agreement with the EU, ie the withdrawal agreement, at which point the caller contradicted his original claim by mourning the fact that this free trade agreement is strictly worse for the UK than the free trade terms the UK had when in the EU. So I’m pretty sure you’re mistaken about Brien being mistaken, even if occasionally he might misspeak in a 3 hour daily radio show.
Holy heck! As a coach driver that guy must have had a lot of experience driving people around the bend. Imagine being stuck with that on a long trip. It’s very much like the UK’s contribution to the European Parliament: largely vacuous and abusive. As a European citizen I’m enormously relieved we no longer have to put up with it.
Of course, he is like a lot of my arrogant fellow Englishmen. The: "We won two World Wars and saved all of Europe!! They owe us!!" type mentality. That attitude drove Brexit in a lot of English. Arrogant exceptionalism. I am afraid we will have to go through a lot more hardship until it is whipped out of us.
@@leod-sigefast Those who shout those kind of things the loudest are ones who never did any fighting. They were the children of those who did. Maybe if their parents talked about things more while they were growing up rather than suffering in silence as most did with the trauma of what they'd been through and done the boomer generation would be far less self obsessed and entitled. It didn't help that they got given everything at every stage of their lives too, now they're getting to the end of said lives and they're no longer the centre of attention, but they're still a MASSIVE demographic (hence "boomer", for baby boom") so they still vote in droves and demand to be heard still. They voted their children's and grandchildren futures away just because they felt like they were entitled to more attention. They'll all be dead or dying by the time things get to their worst. Kind of like Cameron setting all of this in motion and just swanning off while whistling to himself, getting away scot free.

I applaud the patience of Brian, he actually ask valid questions and tried to understand the mindset of the leavers. As a Canadian, a third country citizen, it makes no difference for me to enter UK (where I live before Brexit) or Germany (where I live now after Brexit) I guess I don’t feel the heat as much, but I did move to Germany because of Brexit. As a former short-term Londoner, all my friends are remainers. I can almost guarantee you that most people who voted to leave don’t even know what EU is all about. My German partner will tell you that, without EU, the hassle of exchanging currencies, and the restrictions on movement of goods. Considered Germany had one of the strongest currencies in Europe before the EU, the Germans would still tell you that it is better being in the EU than being the outside of it. Imagine all the small European countries having to negotiate separately with all the trade deals, and deal with the fluctuation of the currencies. And if not for the EU, I reckon Russia would invade as many small European countries as they can, seeing the way they strong arm their military. I don’t know, that’s just my guess, but judging by all the superpowers in the world, at least the EU is on a level playing field with the alliance.
As a Dutch (thus an outsider, my apologies)... the most painful thing about this all is that this guy is not alone in this opinion. What these people really bottom line just can't comprehend is that they are blaming "others" "outsiders" "all the bad eu people" for their own problems. BUT they tell themselves daily "we have taking our country back!". make up your mind then... its your country you left... YOU FIX IT. just be clear the EU is not a perfect place, we are humans though just like you. but we are NOT blaming The UK for all our problems. we are trying to deal with them like we should, as they are our responsibility. Start doing that and the UK will prosper WITH or WITHOUT the dreaded EU.
I worked in Ireland and the UK in 2016/17. It’s a bit sad to see how bad this backfired on the UK. A nation needs to have a degree of self sufficiency for isolationism and nationalism to work. Geopolitically brexit wasn’t going to work. Even so it’s still hard to watch the government and brexiteers realize that the UK has far less international power and influence than they thought.
@Eddy Latumalea. The EU is going to collapse because Germany has applied to join BRICS so the Euro will collapse and countries will go back to there own gold backed currencies and there own sovereignty.

Exactly...It is very shameful that this country allows such a vile propagandist like O'Brien his own radio show. It makes us all ashamed of our country.
not me but I am not English, and the EU never told him, he is right in a way, no one from the EU called him personally to tell him about the budget, and there is a public server where the budget could be downloaded and read for everyone who wants to see it, same with why the GB can not have the same contract like before, because its the benefit of being in the club, the English want to be out, so they now have to prove that their products are on the EU standard, fun fact (and shows how to learn resistant English Tories are) the made in Germany was insisted from England on all German products because the politician was sure the English would only buy English products, bad luck was that the German produced cheaper with higher quality so the made in Germany was at the end not a handicap to buy products it was a benefit
I have been ashamed of this country since Thatcher helped Reagan and his right wing lackey academic Freidman implement the neo liberal project. Morals and ethics have no place in the neo liberal ideology. Nice comment btw.
I sell health and products internationally from the UK, and since leaving the EU, it's now more costly, and slower, to send a parcel to France than it is to Australia. Utter madness!

Unfortunately, it started even earlier in the UK: with Brexit. The anti-EU rhetoric had been building since the 2000s (Farage and his UKIP populist party) but reached a crescendo around 2015 with the announcement of there being a referendum to finally decide our status in the EU....long story short the rightwing populists, which covers most of the British press, and the populist politicians like Farage and Johnson confected a campaign to convince enough disenfranchised to vote against their own best interests and vote to leave the biggest and most successful trading bloc in the world - all to enrich the rightwing elites in the UK, of course. James O'Brien has been trying to hold people to account from day 1....but the populist idiocy, like Trump in the USA, knows no bounds! As you can see in these interviews: "I am right and I don't care about your 'facts'!! My mind is made up."

This guy distrusts leaders for their incompetence then proceeds to vote for the very same people he just called incompetent without the slightest hint of irony.

As frustrating as this is to listen to, I think it’s important to understand that people like this are VERY common in the UK.
Too many people in the Uk are politically indolent for there to be any hope of change in the near future, Andy is a prime example of someone who believes he has worked it all out, but in reality he's just been reading, and parroting Tory propaganda for years! Undisturbed indoctrination of the easily swayed!
Absolutely correct.

He's the fella who nobody else listens to so he's screaming into the void
After 10 pints 😂
Well done to James O'Brien for keeping his cool when confronted with this call.
I notice James sometimes confuses the terms, free trade, custom union & single market. They're not the same, each one is a term to describe deeper stages of economic integration ending with fiscal union. The UK has a free trade agreement with the EU but the reason it can not engage in friction less economic exchange it once had is because we left the 3rd stage of economic integration, the single market.
Well don to Andy for keeping his cool when confronted by the vile propagandist O'Brien spewing forth such lies and hatred.
@@AB-zl4nh he literally told the caller that the UK has a free trade agreement with the EU, ie the withdrawal agreement, at which point the caller contradicted his original claim by mourning the fact that this free trade agreement is strictly worse for the UK than the free trade terms the UK had when in the EU.
So I’m pretty sure you’re mistaken about Brien being mistaken, even if occasionally he might misspeak in a 3 hour daily radio show.

And vote, which is precisely why we are were we are now

Yes and a bus as well, must have been the driver on Boris's big red brexit bus.
Imagine voting for an embargo on your own Country. That is Brexit.
Holy heck! As a coach driver that guy must have had a lot of experience driving people around the bend. Imagine being stuck with that on a long trip. It’s very much like the UK’s contribution to the European Parliament: largely vacuous and abusive. As a European citizen I’m enormously relieved we no longer have to put up with it.
Of course, he is like a lot of my arrogant fellow Englishmen. The: "We won two World Wars and saved all of Europe!! They owe us!!" type mentality. That attitude drove Brexit in a lot of English. Arrogant exceptionalism. I am afraid we will have to go through a lot more hardship until it is whipped out of us.

Maybe if their parents talked about things more while they were growing up rather than suffering in silence as most did with the trauma of what they'd been through and done the boomer generation would be far less self obsessed and entitled. It didn't help that they got given everything at every stage of their lives too, now they're getting to the end of said lives and they're no longer the centre of attention, but they're still a MASSIVE demographic (hence "boomer", for baby boom") so they still vote in droves and demand to be heard still. They voted their children's and grandchildren futures away just because they felt like they were entitled to more attention. They'll all be dead or dying by the time things get to their worst. Kind of like Cameron setting all of this in motion and just swanning off while whistling to himself, getting away scot free.

As a Canadian, a third country citizen, it makes no difference for me to enter UK (where I live before Brexit) or Germany (where I live now after Brexit) I guess I don’t feel the heat as much, but I did move to Germany because of Brexit. As a former short-term Londoner, all my friends are remainers. I can almost guarantee you that most people who voted to leave don’t even know what EU is all about. My German partner will tell you that, without EU, the hassle of exchanging currencies, and the restrictions on movement of goods. Considered Germany had one of the strongest currencies in Europe before the EU, the Germans would still tell you that it is better being in the EU than being the outside of it. Imagine all the small European countries having to negotiate separately with all the trade deals, and deal with the fluctuation of the currencies. And if not for the EU, I reckon Russia would invade as many small European countries as they can, seeing the way they strong arm their military. I don’t know, that’s just my guess, but judging by all the superpowers in the world, at least the EU is on a level playing field with the alliance.

Start doing that and the UK will prosper WITH or WITHOUT the dreaded EU.
I worked in Ireland and the UK in 2016/17. It’s a bit sad to see how bad this backfired on the UK. A nation needs to have a degree of self sufficiency for isolationism and nationalism to work.

The EU is going to collapse because Germany has applied to join BRICS so the Euro will collapse and countries will go back to there own gold backed currencies and there own sovereignty.

You respect a bloke that gave airtime and championed Carl Beech? That's a pretty low bar to set.
Cheers mate!!!
The more I listen to James, the more I realize that the exact same thing that happened in the states happened in the UK after Covid. It's amazing what fear can do to a society.
I don't think COVID is to blame. Lack of education though perhaps
It's been present for much longer than the Covid pandemic.
Unfortunately, it started even earlier in the UK: with Brexit. The anti-EU rhetoric had been building since the 2000s (Farage and his UKIP populist party) but reached a crescendo around 2015 with the announcement of there being a referendum to finally decide our status in the EU....long story short the rightwing populists, which covers most of the British press, and the populist politicians like Farage and Johnson confected a campaign to convince enough disenfranchised to vote against their own best interests and vote to leave the biggest and most successful trading bloc in the world - all to enrich the rightwing elites in the UK, of course. James O'Brien has been trying to hold people to account from day 1....but the populist idiocy, like Trump in the USA, knows no bounds! As you can see in these interviews: "I am right and I don't care about your 'facts'!! My mind is made up."
Before putin was searching for Hillarys emails he was messing around in Westminster
“Well I’m better off than ever!”
And that’s how conservatism works, folks! 😂
The politics of self
He didn't sound very well off. He sounded dumber than a bar of soap.
And the point is he is so thick he hasn't realised he isn't better off.
Big DAWG a paid up member or E.R.G. Is this tempory or long lasting you are not in the cabinet of CHAOS!?? A Russian Oligarch? or WORKING for RISKY or the lying Despot Doris??
Reminds me of the fella being interviewed outside a Trump rally by Jordan Keppler. One of the reasons that he gave when asked why he loved Trump was because the economy was so much better. Keppler says 'really?'
Genius says 'well I'm doing much better since Trump got in anyways'.
Keppler asks 'and what do you do?'
Genius says 'I'm a debt collector' 😂😂😂
I have heard that British people are polite. But I would never think how far your politeness can go. My greatest respect to James.
Yes, because all people in Britain are the same
@@wfifa199 you are.
@@wfifa199Are you trying to point out that there might be British people who aren't polite? That's probably true, but it doesn't contribute anything to the OC, does it?
James O'Brien is an Irish name.
I think I got dumber listening to that caller attempting to connect the dots. If they had another braincell it would be lonely.
Absolutely shocking
If you had another braincell, then perhaps you could think of an original comment, instead of copying and repeating that same old tired joke.
It gave me a migraine...
If he had one more he'd be as clever as a donkey
It's like listening to a lasagne explaining its own recipe.
"I'm just a humble coach driver."
Ahhh so that's why they have that "do not talk to the driver" sign.
To paraphrase Andy's call "we were in EU, things were bad, now things are worse because we left the EU but it's still EU's fault".

Well lots of people wouldn't accept Brexit which meant the EU saw that we were divided and took advantage of that in the negotiations.
I’m American and I sincerely wish we had people like James to raise the level of discourse in my country. That is, if he would be, listened to. This man is truly a master at showing the virtues of being calm and respectful to people you may disagree with.
Sam Seder is who you are looking for. James Oliver as well
The US doesn’t want any standards of character. We want to consume and then blame the opposition when something goes wrong. Especially since it went wrong because of their failings.
John Stewart is the closest you've got.
@Kyleandra Mae DEFINITELY not Sam Seder. He's just a democrat mouthpiece.
There's already tons of people in your country who do this.
This looks so depressive. People who cannot accept they made a mistake.
How James keeps his cool while listening to idiots, morons and imbeciles is a mystery to me. I want to train myself to do that.
He's getting paid to do that. If you get paid for it, you can learn anything. If you want to, that is.
😂😂😂😂😂
I should be crying, but I laughed out loud listening to this.
It's like trying to sit down and talk to a mad squirrel.
That's a bit disparaging about squirrels mate ffs...
Have the squirrel call in to LBC. I guarantee you'll be treated to more coherent assertions than you get from Andy.
@@bigkdog5091 yeah but it’s about the transits innit do you know where them is made now?
@@bigkdog5091 he did say a mad squirrel, so not an ordinary squirrel.
loool That really made me laugh.
The really scary thing about this call is that Andy will have put the phone down, smiled to himself and gone, ‘I really showed him’.
And will be a hero in his local Wetherspoons.

Took him 17m 36s to reveal his "DEM IMMIGRUNTZ" stance. About 5 minutes after James visibly died inside.
James died inside a long time ago. He just wants the Blair years back.
Bet he doesn't realise that his Tories have issued 1 million visas in the last year, mostly to Asians and Africans. ie he voted to swap EU people for said Africans and Asians.
Albert Einstein nailed it pretty accurately: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
LOL
I listened through this and was about to throw my computer out the window at least twice in the first minute. James is the most composed man on the planet!
I think that your spellcheck has accidentally replaced the word "corrupt" with "composed".
Alex I too listened to this and I was absolutely speechless. I believe the referendum should never have taken place exactly due to this problem. Too many ignorant, gullible people voting on something so complex as this. I will not be riding on his bus.
Wake up

I love Jo’B’s long suffering sighs 😂 I know how you feel, James
A fine example of a brainwashed NPC, admiring his cult-master.
I've just lost the will to live.
When he just gave up for that few seconds and remained silent. I know this feeling.
OOOH BIG KISS ON JOBS BOTTOM FROM FROM DAVID SHEEP EU..
What an embarrassment these people are. Yet, the unfounded confidence they display is staggering.
This is the perfect example of how thick the electorate is in uk.

Just astonishing that anyone would call a radio station to talk politics without having a clue what there talking about, no facts, no figures absolutely nothing at all!!!
Incredible lack of any self awareness at all, whatsoever! Sad, very sad.
Why are you remoners so rude 🙄
and yet hes allowed to present radio.
I felt my brain cells dying as I listened to that man.
Listening to Mr. O'Brien absolutely dismantle Andy with such calm and professionalism is a treat.
aaand Andy went on his way victorious at least he thinks. Viva la Transit!
Treat? He sounds pained. 😂😂😂
He kind of just dismantled himself... Ended up feeling a bit sorry for him.
@@hanvyj2 But Andy hasn't changed his belief that he might...just have destroyed this country for the forseeable future.
@@gyszabolcs aaaand you got a stammer or just thick..
I love how he said he didn't expect to be on the phone after a long drive when he's the phone who called in.
It was his last braincell sending a message in despair.
The EU made him do it
@@subcitizen2012 LOVE IT!!
The wonderful part was that James’s sarcasm went right through him like prune juice.
"You got to stop ringing people unexpectedly... fellas just had a long drive!" - LOL I love this man.
And he said in reply, ‘that’s ok’ 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This one is precious! 😂🤣🤣
He honestly believes an ex club member should get the benefits of the club
