Union member explains to James O'Brien why he voted for Boris Johnson

A union member has told James O'Brien why he couldn't bring himself to vote for Jeremy Corbyn in the general election.
Scott, a factory worker from Birmingham, told the LBC presenter "the IRA connection" is why he couldn't face voting for Jeremy Corbyn over his alleged support for the terror group during the Troubles.
He said: "He just doesn't represent me mate. I know there's a lot of propaganda that's on social media, the likes and whatnot, but it's the IRA connection for me."

I'm a Brummie. I've voted Labour for 40 years until last Thursday. I remember very well what the IRA did in my town. This is what John MacDonnel said about the people who did it. "It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. "The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA. Because of the bravery of the IRA and people like Bobby Sands, we now have a peace process." The bombs he speaks of include the ones in the Mulberry bush and the Tavern In The Town. The "bravery" he spoke of includes the "bravery" of the men who planted them. This is what has become of the Labour Party. This is why I couldn't vote for them this week. This is why I may never vote for them again.

@@januszdelondres I have no idea if or how many Irish people were summarily executed with a bullet in the back of a head, But you miss my point. Imagine an politician praising the people who pulled the trigger, calling them brave and courageous.

If he did it in the Falls Road or the Bogside he'd be hung from a lamp post.

@@januszdelondres Of course not, I'm not Ghandi. But to state the 'brave men of the ira' is akin to stating 'the brave men of the paratroop regiment'. Both disgusting statements in context. Look, I think our opinions are probably closer than we realise.

@@askilfangel8599 thats true but those on the left have been proven wrong are anti british and lie as now is being shown ,,so no confusion the right are right the left are now just noise ,,

Revenge is best served cold, Mr Corbyn is not welcomed in Birmingham. A 62 year old Brummie who remembers that night so clearly.🤬👎

[@brianbarrett4080]

For a minute there I thought this title said that James O'Brien voted for Boris and is sad about it but I was wrong hahaha

[@logitech2010100]

Haha I read that as well

[@desmondalloffo7915]

🛑haha james, leave won and you didnt 🛑

[@andrewstevens5732]

Why doesn't o'brien go to the next stage in the analysis and ask this guy to do a thought experiment: ask the guy if he voted leave in 2016 referendum. If the guy says yes then ask him how he would have voted in the GE if Labour had had a different leader but the same manifesto. Then it starts getting really interesting.

[@munetonb]

James will cry for rest his life

[@shoutatme7362]

The mindset of this guy is absolutely fascinating. "I voted for the conservatives, but was gutted when they won". Right or wrong, its an incredible time we live where people can say that.

[@ImJeremybear]

Can't O'Brien wait until he gets in the pub to drown his sorrows with alcohol.

[@peterbarnard631]

Don't worry about O'brien... Earning over £500k may soften the blow. ...of course he has a huge pay rise coming with Boris tax cut for high earners. I reckon O'brien will get over this pretty quickly.

[@martinrobinson9061]

My dad was the same. Who serviced in the British Army during the 70’s, during the troubles was the Jeremy Corbin’s IRA connections.

[@andrewjones-productions]

I feel for this person from Birmingham. I am not a Labour voter (neither a Conservative one), but I can understand their frustration. Jeremy Corbyn has many issues surrounding him, but the thing that stood out for me was his lack of communication. It was as if he felt he never needed to explain himself and that suggested arrogance and utter contempt for the public. Jeremy Corbyn was his own best enemy. I am not surprised that people felt they couldn't follow him.

[@sharkdom]

Should have spoiled his vote

[@paulseaman2573]

If you couldnt vote Corbyn, vote LD or Green or anyone other than Boris ?! ... Crazy point of view

[@marycull3607]

I have never seen Jim smile like this, and for so long, I counted nine seconds slowly.

[@andrewholt3849]

He’s 32 born in 1987, 13 years after the IRA pub bombings, which are now 45-years-ago. He will have a well paid Unionised job with Jaguar Landrover and anyone worse off relying on the state are scroungers who he isn’t going to support through increased taxation.

[@FlavourlessLife]

James the reason you haven't heard these opinions is because you were too busy shouting over people that disagreed with you

[@stephenisom6089]

he heard them but ignored the truth thats what left wing losers do,,

[@mikebuckland]

I get the feeling that this presenter is not happy...................what a shame. After years of lecturing too...................what a shame. He is usually so rude and loving his own lefty opinions, today not so much........what a shame

The JLR man was 100% correct - well said Sir !!

[@bl88er]

Why didn't this guy and people like him vote lib dem, Green, independent?

[@PeterGreen-t8c]

He couldn't vote for Jeremy Corbyn either because he doesn't live in Islington either. The UK general election is not a US presidential election.

[@gailsmith5231]

Why is James such a bitter twisted person?

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Only IDIOTS would prefer to vote for bozo and his gang, the evil tories, instead of Corbyn. Who are the friends of bozo and how many people died because of them the last 10 years? 130.000 people dead because of unnecessary cuts in Social Services and the NHS. What a tragedy! Who's going to remember these poor victims of toryism in few years?

not your left leg was it ,,

[@petergreen2552]

You can only vote for Boris Johnson if you live on his seat. I feel nothing for him for his choice. He has a very short memory when it comes to how Tory MPs view those in trade unions. I live in Northern Ireland and we've had no government here for nearly 3 years and our public services are on the verge of collapse. No one knocked on my door during the campaign. I didn't vote. Won't ever again. I dread the following decade and wish I were 20 years younger and in a financial position to emigrate.
