[@lloydjones7925]

If you truly want someone to change there mind or move there position a more tactful approach would be important. Certainly fewer interruptions on both sides are essential, greater chances to speak for both sides. Talk of fact should be substantiated with evidence where possible - James often has factual evidence to rely on but callers rarely have this to hand or the opportunity to provide it where they have some evidence. As James is a professional I can absolutely understand that he will be better resourced and better prepared. Whilst I understand James's style is quite adversarial - this will not help with many callers that have opposing views. Perhaps James should chair a debate with two callers with opposing views from opposite sides of the spectrum and manage such a discussion as an impartial/neutral chair. This may lead to one caller to actually reconsider and revise their position having considered the facts and having a chance to contribute from their own perspective.

I’ll tell you why. Because culture *IS* the most important aspect of every nation. Without one homogeneous culture, society collapses. It always has done through history, and it always will do. That’s why immigration makes us furious. Its a threat to our existence.

I'm not British, I don't live in your country though I visit, nothing that happens there affects me, but I love this show and James O'Brien.

This show reflects what is happening here in the US and how so many people are just like this lady. They are anxious, mad and worried about something but they don't know why and can't articulate any real reasons or policy. They are this way because their fears are being stoked for political gain by parties whose only goal is to stay in power and perpetuate their own power and gains. Sad really, but reflective of too many people these days.

Deflecting the conversation about minutiae rather than the overall results. Since 1990 the UK population has increased by at least 10 million (17%) so perhaps it is no surprise that UK infrastructure is under pressure eg housing, NHS etc,. Why does anyone concerned about immigration need to know anything about the process, it the results of immigration that are her concern. (I'm concerned about getting cancer, so do I need to be an oncologist?) So there must be a legal immigration routes, but of course O'Brien deflects the conversation to asylum seekers rather than the much broader issue. O'Brien's a master of deflection.
