The first guy sounded so fed up. Like he’d just spent years screaming at a brick wall. Poor guy
He did sound like a guy who would scream at a brick wall.:)
And you know, what's the worst about it? All in all, he's just another brick in the wall.
Maybe he can get another job helping with the increased shipping as we import from elsewhere.
Change is a scary word.
@@RifleEyez You can't do "just-in-time" from Australia, Japan or the US.
He is talking about same day pickup and deliveries.
That same Import export infrastructure will still be place for the likes of Australia, Japan or the US - as they have always been.
This is a fundamental reduction and curtailment in a specific type of delivery. No other set of countries can, or could ever, replace that.
Geography not politics.
@@hamblyl There will be more demand though, maybe he can start his own shipping company?
I'm being a bit facetious there but why are we living under the fallacy that absolutely nothing will change just because a decision has been made? We could see that business as being less viable sure - perhaps we'll never iron out the teething issues going forward with every existing system, but money speaks EU or not, so it's more than likely we will. But why suppose nothing else will open up?
Of course things are going to change, that's the point, and nobody can predict how that is going to turn out. If anyone could they would be infinitely rich as a result.
That guy who called and admitted he was wrong and started crying "what have I done to my country?" I really felt that. At least he has the self awareness to know he was deceived. I'm glad JOB stood up for him
That was really upsetting
Can you tell me where the timeline is for this story? It sounds like an interesting story.
@@2Dimples4U 38:56
@@SantosAl thank you for this. I really felt that man’s pain. It takes a lot to admit fault but it wasn’t just him. So glad O’Brien gave a helping hand.
I am completely against Brexit, but that phone call was so fake, no one says that
Bill calling and saying:" What have I done to my country?" Actually made me tear up. It's such genuin regret and shame, it's heartbreaking. I'm do sorry for him.
These fraudsters deserve nothing but a prison cell.
Followed immediately by the absolute immaculate stereotype of a UKIP-per. Even now I still refuse to believe that man was real.
If you're obtuse enough to vote for your own demise you end up with it.
Your precious EU will constitute 10% of of the global economy by the end of the decade and more dependent than ever on the United States for capital and technology and energy and military support. So much for a “sovereign autonomous Europe”. No point in rejoining.
The Billionaires who rallied for Brexit for their own financial benefits knowing full well they don't have to deal with the consequences should be in prison. No to ways about it.
prison is just for the poor @@lucaszech4070
38:55
This guy has my utmost respect. To be able to make a mistake and then regret it. To let yourself understand how bad it was instead of lying to yourself that it'll all turn out okay. That takes real character.
Also have to admire how James just instantly and rightfully deflects the blame of the caller and straight to the charlatans who's really at fault for the whole mess.
And not only that, but to apologize live on air to someone you previously disagreed with? I wish more people were like this guy, especially over here in the States.
When he cried it brought a tear to my eye because I’ve watched MAGA destroy my family.
brilliant 😂
@@wyattearl8385you and me both brother. My dad.
I love the "we're independent" argument from brexit voters, yet none of them support Scottish or Welsh independence 😂
Like England said before the Scottish independence referendum: It’s better to work together. Then the Brexit vote came: we’re better off alone.
@@macnavi better for Westminster if the UK countries work together, not better for the smaller countries of the UK
You're spot on, also when it came to Scottish Independence we had allsorts claiming it was a bad idea from outside the country, but denounced by the braying mobs, but when the brexit referendum was announced it was interesting to note that people like Ian Botham could pronounce that we should leave, and there was no denunciations...
Double standards.. But I suppose, why have one standard, when you can have two? 😉
Dont forget the whole "if you want to guarantee to stay in the EU then vote to stay in the Union" schtick
@@rhodrijohn7411 As we've seen over the pandemic, England refuses to work with Scotland, Wales and N.I. at every turn.
I love how the UKIP Candidate sounded like Emperor Palpatine, These Brexit voters really are living up to their role as Evil control freaks 🤣
Lol 😂 I was just listening to the bloke when I read this comment! Spot on!
Actually crying, this is so funny 😂
Twenty thousand Somaaaalis...
I was dying during that call
The caller's name was Phillip. He will forever be known as Chancellor/Emperor Philpatine.
That UKIP caller sounds like the absolute nastiest British stereotype you could imagine. What a monster.
Cesspitts....😆
I think he was a prankster on a wind up
Omg, you have people in your country like the ones that support djt. It's crazy. They know nothing, they can't talk about a single positive the he did,..
im convinced all UKIP members are just supreme shitposters. I want to join them.
@@TwiddleJones I've seen brexiteers and ukip speakers talk like that in real life, they are genuinely that twisted sometimes
The first guy was a breath of fresh air. Clear, concrete examples of major challenges for business owner. I hope he is alright.
The 3-pin plug bit 😂
As an American who just discovered this show I find it both relieving and saddening to find that the problems facing our nation are facing others as well. There appears to be a shockingly large percentage of the population that has lost any ability to engage in any semblance of critical thought.
May we all survive to see better days. Cheers
Unfortunately it's widespread throughout western nations, such a mess
unfortunately the electoral system in both countries makes sure that kleptocrats and xenophobes get elected , Trump lost the popular vote and Tories get in because of the first past the post system , NEITHR of them get the majority vote .
@@thomashassall96 It is not widespread throughout western nations, only western nations with a strong right-wing or conservative political party. A lot of European countries with strong left-wing politics have much healthier public debates and much more robust democracies.
Look at US, UK, France and Italy, all with strong right-wing politics and all suffering from corruption, racism and tribal politics.
Look at Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Scandinavia, all with strong left-wing politics and all suffer far less racism, tribal politics and corruption.
This pattern is not a coincidence, ever asked yourself why Left-Wing politics always invests in publically funded/owned education, intended to provide max quality, and why right-wing politics prefer privately funded/owned education, intended to provide max profit?
Perhaps some statistics to explain the absence of critical thinking in the US....
54% of adults have the literacy levels lower than that of a 12 year old.
One in five adults (in the US) is illiterate.
You need to support the efforts of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her colleagues. They will invest in education.
@@MrBabylon thanks.
Give me hope.
I sit and watch and wonder what the world might look like if all journalism looked more like this.
Nothing but admiration for this man.
better. In a word: better
@Dog boy however, in this instance obrien is supporting the right position
@Dog boy have you not noticed the changing climate that 99% of scientists agree is affected by greenhouse gasses and CO2 in particular. Half the world is either on fire or flooded out and it’s only getting worse. The cost of these events dwarfs any carbon tax. The UK will look drastically different as sea levels rise. This is predicted to be 1.8m within 80 years. That will be the end for many coastal and inland low lying areas such as somerset.
@Dog boy this is known as an “ad hominem”, wherein morons who can’t refute the facts or reality, resort to attacking the messenger because they can’t reply on content.
@Dog boy I could have missed something, so feel free to inform me if I have, but last I heard about an EU Carbon Tax it was only for imports from Non-EU countries into the EU.
the guy who cried actually made me cry. I could feel his pain when he said that 'what have I done to my country' . heavy
I can't get over the UKIP candidate's super villain voice
its palpatine hahaha
"masssss immigration"
A real life uncle rucus.
It really threw me off because his normal voice is the same voice I use when I'm DMing a Yuan-Ti
Cess-puts!
The English talking about infiltration of their land by foreigners after centuries of colonizing foreign lands would be HILARIOUS if it weren’t incredibly insufferable
The 'English' never colonised anyone.... It was their lords and masters who did the colonising... Meanwhile the English people themselves were held under slavery by those same lords and masters...

To hear someone say they are against the Human Rights Act, is genuinely chilling.
And folk still don't get it. Telling me all the failings, the lack of nurses, lack of doctors, lack of GP appointments and then say when they go to hospital too many people from the Commonwealth and the EU and all the benefits they claim. Then look blank at you when you tell them that non-UK citizens working in the NHS have a fee to pay for NHS services that they are highly unlikely to need (young fit, active and trained health professionals). That they do not get benefits immediately like housing but as a working tax payer are entitled to the same benefits as any other working tax payer.
The Human Rights Act was created and set up lead by Churchill and signed into UK law as 47 did. Only two countries are not. Serbia who refused to sign up when separated from their union and Russia who resigned so they could invade the Ukraine. What a noble group of countries to wish to join.
What time in the video?
@@TheBlitztar It was Dominic Raab. His section is near the beginning
Or that we have a Home Secretary that wants to take the UK out of the European Convention for Human Rights (something that the UK was a founding member of)
They mean the subhumans….
Absolutely love how James treats callers. Despite seeing it on his face, he still holds a level of respect for his callers.
More than they deserve
Except Philip from Sandbach 😂
42:31 "If Brexit means falling off a cliff edge, so be it."
- Emperor Palpatine
YES 😂
Phillip is funny
"Do it! Oh, we DID!!!"
Yes! I was trying to pin the voice! 🤣
And what do we get from this wonderful Brexit?? Printing T-shirts with "Sovereignty" printed on it, maybe? And no evil EU or European can now stop us doing it!
Emotional 'us vs them', arguments, "Brits are superior, not equals, to Europeans and are born to rule...not cooperate!!" That is what caused Brexit, namely, many Brits arrogant sense of superiority and view that equality with fellow Europeans is beneath them.
I didn't know Emperor Palpatine was a Brexiter.
@@differentname5867 I still can't get past "cesspits!". I have visions of him using the force to fry Mace Windu before launching him out of a window 😂
@@marcosmartins7581 "The remainers attempt on my life have left me scarred, th UK will be reorganised into the first BREXITER EMPIRE !"
Palpatine was indeed a Brexiteer ...the only difference is that he still had an Empire.
@@michellebrown4903 😂
Odd really, considering I thought he was all about empires.
All these men saying "I'm ok with a financial hit" are so kind and generous to include all those with less wealth than them. Thank you brexiteers.
I think the UKIP bloke was actually Emperor Palpatine
Last caller complaining about Indians and Pakistanis in a conversation about EU left me confused.
Its simple. People complaining about foreigners blame the EU for „forcing“ the UK to open doors for said foreigners
Whereas his mascot the honourable wankiness Herr Farage welcomes people who are a part of the commonwealth since they have more rights to be here...
Ummmm
Yeah!
It's really sad but I remember being a pub with my dad before the referendum, overhearing people talking loudly about how they wanted out so they could get rid of all the Pakistani people.
Edit: They didn't use the term "Pakistani", just the first four letters.
And now the Indians and Pakistanis are celebrating that they are no longer competing with EU citizens for jobs and spots at uni.
Indian and Pakistani people should be welcomed anyway, they are members of the commonwealth, not the EU, so definitely, very confused indeed. Anyway, I think it takes guts to come to a foreign land, and thrive. More than I’ve got I’m sure 😊
"Don't be sorry; be angry!"
Loved that!
@Wischmopps Facts
@Wischmopps Lots of people are greedy and selfish. A capitalist controlled world lets such people thrive by enabling them to accumulate incredible wealth and power through the sacrifice of a million slaves.
James, he was angry all right but angry with himself at having been deceived. The interview brought it all to the surface. Slowly that anger will turn to those who did the deceiving, if it hasn't already. Being angry about something is quite stimulating but being angry with yourself is debilitating and horrible. He will recover, poor man.
I worked in the UK for an Aerospace company from the USA. . The directors warned us that if the UK voted Brexit they would move their operations to another EU country. All my brexit work colleagues still went ahead and voted brexit. They were so indoctrinated that they all believed the company were bluffing. All my warnings (I was also a Union shop steward) were ignored and I was accused of conspiracy with management to block all what they believed were going to be their new found freedom. (although nobody could tell me what those freedoms were.) Within a year of the leave vote the factory that had employed 500 people was now in Portugal.
Haven't any of your ex-colleagues made their own laws yet? Where I worked that was regularly cited as one of the "freedoms".
Yep, they can't be told and an old saying pops to mind... "if you can't hear you must feel."
The frustration I felt when I realised the majority had fell for the hype and the lies. It was like watching thousands marching to the cliff edge and walking straight over.
Freedom indeed, freedom to line up at the unemployment benefits line. Fckng idiots!

(38:52) Every time I revisit this, I am inwardly brought to my knees at the humble humility, and O'Brien's impassioned rage with which he defends the humanity of this caller, redirecting his fury towards the manipulatively odious corporate/politico machine that engineered the national disaster known as Brexit
Its individuals like this man that make me hate the tories and hardline brexiteers so much - they lied through their teeth and have people like this man in tears over being fooled by them

Just to point out, the belfast agreement is only 36 pages long. There is literally no excuse not to have read it as a politician.

As a Canadian. I love this show. Shocking on how people don't know and don't care what they voted for.
Not really. Much of the leave vote wasn't because people wanted out, but rather was a protest against the previous years of austerity. The thinking (if you can can call it thinking) was that if Cameron wanted us in, then they were going to kick him on the goolies and vote leave. Then having voted leave, they decided to double down behind that decision. I think it's pretty much the same thinking that gave Trump the election in 2016.
Nice to see I’m not the only one here for the first time
Imagine being from the UK living in Canada and looking at this like a distant garbage fire. I left the UK the day after the Brexit vote...
Ditto.

Imagine voting for Brexit because you're bothered by the EU using two-pin plugs and having to buy an adapter at the airport. LOL
and it's even funnier because nothing about that will change with brexit.
england could use 3 pin plugs before and after brexit.
and he'll have to buy an adapter in the airport before and after brexit....if he's even allowed in the eu....
I'm speechless
Kept our 3 pinned plugs though didn't we? Take that Johnny Foreigner!

Brexit was one of the worst things to happen to the UK
And was self inflicted
And it’s not over now..

And it's even worse now at the end of September 2022
I'm listening in October and it's even worse
Even worse now it's December
Even worse in Jan 2024
The bloke who didn't know why he voted but claimed it was for independence and making our own laws... I feel like he's a fairly accurate facsimile of every brexiteer I've ever met. When it comes down to it, it's about immigration. The irony being that the EU law provided us with plenty of ways to control immigration but we didn't use them.
Know a boss who voted brexit purely because she thought the limit on hours you can force your workers to do will be revoked!!

So not sure what you think you’re suggesting at. You’re own ignorance perhaps?
16:25 is just the most perfect example of what James O’Brien does. He gets these people on, calling up specifically to justify their vote in some vague terms. He deconstructs them and shows that they have no actual opinion on what they are claiming to be the reason. He then slowly draws out the real reason. They don’t like brown or black people in their town or cities. Absolutely perfect. Hoisted by their own petard. The regularity is obvious, but still heartbreaking.
......it's a con trick - the calls are vetted. You don't think clever people are allowed to talk to O'Gobshite?
And yet there wasn't a black or Brown Country they didn't colonize and take over.
Socratic method. I've used it for most of my life on the Internet. It is very helpful for tweaking trolls and troublesome meddlers.

To hear the anguish in Bill’s voice as he says, “what have I done to my country” is heart wrenching.
I truly wish that more people could be like Bill and admit they made a mistake, rather than double down on it for the rest of their lives.

As an American, I learned that most English people didn't understand what they were voting for when they voted for Brexit.
Because they don't like Europeans living and working in Uk but it's ok for them to live, work, retire and buy properties in 27 EU countries. They were brainwashed by Trump friends Boris and Nigel two right wings politicians who said lies to British people. Love from Ireland🇮🇪🇪🇺
Corrections the Country bumpkins who have fewer international immigrants, ignorantly blindly believed the lies Nigel Farage promoted. Most of us well-read Londoners knew Farage was lying and falsifying the truth. Hence why London never voted for Brexit. The Countryside did.
Yes most British people didn't understand but most British r raciest so Brexit was inevitable given the right rethoric.
trump was our brexit and we still have people who still want that no matter how bad he was for our country , because they hate the same people that trump says he hates , but in truth , trump hates anyone he can’t use, con , grift , cheat or steal from in order to enrich and empower himself

"Us against them" seemed to be the main argument i heard before the Brexit referendum. We don't want to be controlled by Bruxelles, was another argument i heard all the time. The close to 70 mill citizens made the UK one of the largest member nations. And the second largest economy within the union. In other words the UK had a huge responsibilty of what the union were before Brexit. So the "Us against Them" argument should actually have been" Us against Us" And "We don't want to be controlled by the British politicians sitting in the EU parlament in Bruxelles... elected by ourselves !!"
Well said. I used to spend part of the year living and working in Spain & Italy. Thats been taken away from me now. I loved being an EU citizen - Europe united in peace, prosperity and opportunity. We have also lost so much that we didnt have to lose when leaving the EU. Years ago i had flatmates who were Erasmus students - that didnt have to go.
I thought the best thing about being British was that we were a part (not apart from) of the EU . Sexier and far more sane.
Any hope of that kind of logic working died when the right started listening to Farage, their elected EU representative, telling them they don't have any representation in the EU.
As a ex Continental Truck Driver, I can state this man knows exactly what hes talking about... Period !
And it's half past 10 on Monday morning mate 😂 I love that one.
I love how you give the callers a shovel and then tell them to dig a hole…and they do. 😅😂
As an American it makes me glad to hear that the kind of stupidity I hear on talk radio is not exclusive to my country. Perhaps America's #1 export.
I am still in shock
Yeah... thanks for that... 😞
James, we need more like you in America, thanks for showing the World.
He would rip Ben Shapiro to shreds
Brexit: I divorced, lost my house, kids, the car, the dog, access to my kids and all my savings but now I can leave the toilet seat up. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.
Is that Ukipper a James Joyce tribute act😂😂
the gentleman who spoke to apologize crying, put tears in my eyes, I felt the pain of this poor fellow to take the blame as if it were totally his. As a Portuguese in Portugal, I mean that this man is a true patriot and a perfect gentleman. a hug to him from a Portuguese and move on with life.
👍😥
The motivation for Brexit was xenophobia and racism, excusing anyone who championed this as a "gentleman" isn't a noble action. He should be condemned for perpetuating British racism.
@@kellyjay7448 is a gentleman yes, this man realized their mistake and apologise for that. The pain in the soul of this man is enormous. He don't cry began to be apologise he cry because he follow the wrong people. England need a new referendum a d admit to need European union like the union need England.
inportugal I believe he's involved in the wholesale export and import of PLANTs.
@@kellyjay7448 no, you're wrong, it's very rare to see people admit they are wrong and want to make amends. I respect that man for coming clean and realising he made a massive mistake. People can change and I everyone should welcome that.
People who still insist that they were right and are in denial is a different matter.
James is brilliant. His ability to calmly interject logic within the debate is truly remarkable. He also is pretty funny while dissecting the dribble. Love it!
Agreed. My main interest in listening/watching James is his ability to use a callers view to counter it and destroy it. He has a very quick and wide reaching mind and vocabulary. His videos should be used to teach debating.
No he's not. He sounds well studied but his mouth proves he's not. He's an angry clown!

I know it’s years (2024) after this episode was broadcasted, but when it came down to the type if plugs, it brings tears to my eyes.
Constantly imitating the “Palpatine” guy really made James look petty. It was obvious to everyone that he sounded like a cartoon villain, the irony and optics of which would have been more poignantly felt if it wasn’t pointed at
The call with Phillip from Sandbach has to be the greatest LBC call of all time.
That guy literally sounds like a cartoon villain.

"It''s half past ten on a monday morning mate" Priceless :D
As someone who’s country has not left the EU, I can actually provide an example of how brexit has impacted my work: so I work for a company that provides IT services. Our business model works by partnering with local business and independent contractors to provide last mile support for our customers. So basically, we were employing smaller local companies in the UK to service large manufacturing and offices for companies that usually don’t employ 100 tiny companies because it’s not cost efficient to manage so many suppliers from a financial aspect (AR and AP). So we normally keep the remote parts and will outsource the field services to our UK partners. So some of our customers are moving or reducing their operations in the UK due to the uncertainty of the legislation, but we are also reducing the amount of work we do take in the UK and by consequence we outsource to local companies. The reason is because it is quite frankly too expensive to figure out what legislation applies. Under the EU single market, sorting out what taxes apply was not really an issue, where as now VAT has to be included as cost when reselling services which basically means that services in the UK are now 20% more expensive. If purchasing HW and importing into the UK (and considering there’s 2-3 companies down the chain) it’s literally a nightmare. Just last week, my company (US company with entities in a few EU countries) had to import some devices into the UK from the US. I am based in Belgium, and we have 2 other entities (Romania and Ireland). Per our contract with our customer, we would have had to sell the hardware with our Romanian entity to our customer’s entity in the UK, and deliver it to their entity in the UK. We had an option of purchasing the devices locally in the UK, but that would have meant that the UK vat of 20% would be cost for us, we would then have to apply Romanian vat on top of that. So basically our customer in the UK would pay double sales tax for equipment purchased in the UK and delivered in the UK.
So we decided to import the HW from the US directly to the UK using a sister company in our group that still has an entity in the UK and sell it to the customer in the UK and as such only 20% vat applies.
Long story short, it is cheaper to import to the UK in this situation from the US than purchasing the same equipment locally, but by seeking an exception from out contract with our customer. Took us 3 days to figure this out (5 people in 3 different companies) leveraging 2 different entities. The time spent on sorting this out between quite high level professionals (also counted as cost) literally means we are actually not making any profit on this transaction. This would have previously been 1 hour of work.
Now no one actually knows which laws are in place, and sometimes even our colleagues in the UK don’t really know.
It is quite honestly a deterrent from taking anymore business in the UK. It’s just too stressful and complicated.
We made an attempt to figure out the legislation changes that would occur after brexit, but with all the delays and changes it was literally impossible to keep up without employing a specialized company to sort this for us, but the amount of business we now have with the UK does not justify the additional cost so we can’t really seek out specialized consultants so we are stuck with a contract with our customer for the next couple of years that we have to fulfill, but it literally is not returning sufficient revenue to make all the additional effort worth it.
We in the EU have more work for less profit, our partners in the UK are losing business and obviously for the work we do undertake we are not making money and our customer is paying more for worse services.
wow...well I'm baffled lol. Total nightmare, all round.
The caller starting at the 49:42 mark, actually sounds like Davros, the father of the Daleks and it has to be said, that the sentiments expressed by this caller are not so terribly far off from that Doctor Who villain and his creation. Great show, as always.

- "Exterminate... exterminate... exterminate." 😂
That was in my head after hearing the audio and reading your comment.
What a masterpiece of journalism ! I’m French and believe me I’m deeply sad about the whole Brexit story. We also have here people who use the same lies and get on with it without problem. They are growing each year a bit more. We need more competent people like you to expose their foolishness. You British friends, our brothers, have been fooled by a band of nostalgic idiots. Please come back, let’s forget this nationalistic nightmare. We love you !
Thank you, I’m afraid that will take a long time though. If you think you feel sad, imagine how it feels being stuck on an island with these people!

No thanks, kalonbzh. Very kind offer, though.
I can't believe that people call in when they are on such shaky ground. Where does their confidence come from?
Confidence and arrogance can appear similar 😅
ignorance.
Watching TV and radio with sound bytes that make very complex issues seem simple to folks who refuse to question their sources or listen to alternative viewpoints
Ignorance is bliss

I felt sorry for Bill. It takes a strong person to admit they was wrong and for him to call the show and say "i was wrong" was awesome. It was sad when he awarded crying though. But im glad that he realized his mistakes and that he was sorry for them. Even though the blame wasnt just on him
Poor Bill
he really got rinsed, it's not your fault we all get things wrong but loads of people try to shuffle off and blame someone else, some of us will always put our hands up and help to fix the damage afterwards
more power to you Bill 👍
As someone watching this from the beautiful Republic of Ireland I actually got a kick out of it :P
he really realised how bad it was going to be and to know that therres no going back to the same great position we had he likely has grand kids he feels he let down

The way James handled the regretful leaver was brilliantly and unbelievably touching. Here's a guy who knows his stuff.
Great satire, tj.
Thankyou James for the work you do 👍👍

@@trustmetours57 I'm not from the UK but it would take quite a while for me to get over that disastrous decision. We have Trump and I will never forgive those who voted for him although I think he was a bit more obvious.
@@jessed2544 Why would you 'never forgive' someone for having a differing political viewpoint than you, it literally makes no sense. I cant even begin to imagine going through life hating on everyone who thinks differently to me.
@@trustmetours57 Trump has no political philosophy. He is an ideology of hate. I have no problem with people who think differently I have a problem with people who enable facisist xenophobic narcissistic demagogues.
@@jessed2544 Do you even know what a facist is?
Getting people to listen to their own ideas is a kind of therapy. It gives them a chance to reconsider. They may not take it immediately but given time they may get to churn over what they think. The desire to make more sense can grow. James is a first class practitioner of this art.
LOVED it when Emperor Palpatine called in from UKIP HQ 🤣!
(Massive thanks and well done James for all that you do. That call from the poor chap saying sorry is proof that people's minds can be changed and that we are not bound to lunacy so long as we dare not to choose it)
