James O'Brien's best moments of 2021 | LBC

@@nickedwards2904 I would disagree, James himself has a clip wherein he talks about survey data and how that has drastically changed within the last 10 years. Blair was out of office by 2007. The anti-eu sentiment was crafted by fear mongering right wingers, who see that as the easy ticket to whip up voters. On the more extreme end, we've seen America and their wall with Mexico. Even on our own, Priti Patel with the borders bill, selling her own parents out for a crumb of right wing clout. To bring it back into focus, you're very focused on a rather minor cog in the wheel that is Brexit.

[@poox8362]

@@mohammedsaleh7 I have to agree. Besides the endless lies Farage, Johnson et al were telling about the EU, in 2010 when the Tories got back into power almost the entire country was not focussing on so-called EU problems. Even immigration was not an issue for the majority. The Tories fed these issues, but the referendum was not held because the population demanded it. Cameron went with the referendum to keep his party together. There has always been anti-EU and anti-foreigner sentiment in UK, along with English exceptionalism, but it was always the fringe of society. Blair had nothing to do with Brexit. But he did take us into an illegal war by following the US government.

James O'Brien is fantastic as always. But nothing changes. I will say that again, " Nothing Changes." The pandemic was a wonderful lesson in my life. One thing that is so true about England. The majority of English people love tolerating and basking in apathy. They don't do revolution, I repeat, they don't do resistance. And resistance does not have to be violent! Leave resistance to the French and the Scots. You can't cure wilful ignorance. The majority of Conservative voters that have no heart or empathy for all the people that have suffered in the pandemic. I know that because I have been able to speak to thousands on Facebook over the last 2 1/2 years. Born here, in England, I am mixed race and now in 2021, what do I have to be proud about? I am so ashamed to still live in England and I look forward to leaving, in the near future. I learned a lot in the last 2 1/2 years and I have reached the point where I don't care any longer. Its the intelligent, caring minority of people that would act, they would revolt, vs the majority that believe all the lies and forget how to care. I have learned that I live in the wrong nation for caring, my passion is better served in the future and not in England.

A few weeks later to add insult to injury the family still grieving found they had contracted covid from another source but the local authority then threatened to take the daughters father to court for not sending his daughter to school even though they were fully aware that she more than probably had contracted or at the very least been in contact with persons actually suffering from Covid and when asked why could only say that it was Government policy indicating that children did not contract Covid so should go to school.

The way he talks to people on his show is just nasty (and I agree, some people really deserve it - others don't) and disrespectful. It just fits in today's society of extreme this or extreme that, there's very little middle ground left in our world and that's where he gains his popularity. JoB's strength is just that he has an easy way with words, the same strength many manipulators (like Bozo) posses too but that doesn't make him right all the time. It's not the first time he had to rethink his point of view, retract a statement or issue an apology either. At least he's fair enough to do so (when he realizes his mistake) but he's far from the best thing that ever happened to media, something many here seem to imply. JoB has the platform to make people see reason but the way he ridicules others, cuts people off and disrespectfully talks over them is more dividing than uniting people.

Paxman is overrated, he gave plenty of easy interviews, although I am new to James so that could be true of him also but I havent seen it so far. I've only seen him talk to brexiteers and trump supporters who are easy targets but it's an absolute sin that they're not challenged in the legacy media, usually.

@@ladob6775 thanks for your reply. Brexit now makes it harder for Europeans to live and work in the U.K., and easier for everyone else. The reverse is also true. Aren’t food standards going down since Brexit? Isn’t pollution also going up, every river now has untreated human waste. Aren’t human rights being undermined by new police and anti protest laws?

@Michelle Thompson - I totally agree with your comment. All negative comments on this video are from folks who have clearly never listened to James on a regular basis. He uses logic, empathy and basic facts to explore the issues we need to be talking about. He's one of the best broadcasters we've got here in the UK. I have no idea how he does what he does for 15 hours every week. I'm glad he's gained a wider audience through clips uploaded on KZbin. Both his books are great reads and show James's ability to shed light on issues in a fair and balanced manner. He's also one of the only presenters on LBC who is willing to have his mind changed by callers who can make a convincing argument. I'd love to see him back on BBC Newsnight or as a regular panelist on BBC's QT.

He’s acting the role of an interviewer. If the person you’re interviewing doesn’t answer the question, you press them to answer it. You don’t let them move on. You don’t let THEM control the conversation. You get them to answer the specific question they were asked. When they don’t, you force them back on point. He’s not being rude. He’s keeping them within the bounds of the interview.
