@Rifle Eyez 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.
@Rifle Eyez he already has his own company. These are not teething issues - these are fundamental differences in geography. You cannot transport consumable J-I-T goods from Africa, Australasia or the Americas. It isn't a case of "waiting for markets to open up" - it is a case of "those markets are not viable solutions to the requirements as the goods will go off before they get here". And those goods will ALWAYS and STILL have to go through the same import/export regime that they go through now and that the EU goods now have to go through - the difference is (was) those goods from the EU did not previously have to go through this Import/Export process! We will not be entering into an "EU like trading zone" with ANYONE - we may get deals, but they will all still have to go through standard Import/Export processes. The End - stop trying to make out otherwise. Plenty of people could predict. Many others did predict. And many of those that could predict, but kept their mouths shut or said otherwise, will be a whole lot richer as a result. It is called disaster capitalism - Rees Mogg's father wrote a book about it.
@Rifle Eyez Oh dude, really?? Australia tends to trade with other countries NEAR it. That is how they cope with their geography. Ditto most other countries. Why would Australia rely on a trading region 12 thousand miles away? Equally, the UK joining a south east asian trading pact as a replacement for the EU is complete nonsense. Similarly the US. Reducing the frictionless trading capacity of a nation from 300m potential customers down to 60m potential customers will have an impact on that nation. You do not need to predict very much. Try getting mail order in Northern Ireland at the moment - many suppliers, simply, will not do it. There are industries being decimated by this, currently.
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 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.
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
@@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.
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,..
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? 😉
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.
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.
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.
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)
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!! Mogg is such a liar & creep!! All this for more cash for an incredibly entitled & wealthy man, what a disgrace he’s in government!!!
@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 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...
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.
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've just discovered James O'Brien. The compassion he has for the those who admit it was a mistake is really warming. That's how we should proceed, be angry with the politicians
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.
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 😊
Since the Brexit vote, immigration from Africa and Pakistan has gone up while going down from europe. To vote for Brexit to stop immigration full stop is completely idiotic
Well, you got 4 million eu citizens here now - cherish them, there will be a trickle but yea most of the fresh off the boats will be from outside Europe
vilifying Europeans expats/immigrants is at least idiotic mainly cause the average European contributes more to the economy compare to the average brit and the average non-eu immigrant takes more than they put in....non eu immigration was regulated based on national law which make the membership question even more idiotic
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.
Kieran the van driver. A star. He and a number of others tried creating a voice to reason “ three men in a pub “. Everything they said have been born out. Only it’s even worse
@@michaelcain721 Nobody wants him to suffer. I am European but I feel sorry for the REST OF THE UK that I love which is now DESTROYED and I spent my life there. I honestly don"t care as much as I do for the rest of the people who never voted for this BS
I accidentally stumbled across these videos, he is brutal with some of these people and rightfully so. I support how he does it with facts and they just melt when they can't give an answer. Wish more journalist were like him.
He's anything but brutal. He literally just reflects back to the in-caller what he just said... And often more importantly, what he said a minute ago. No need to add anything when the guy making a point is a real life Monty Python character.
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.
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
The first caller should be transport secretary. His working knowledge of international freight transportation is amazing. Everyone really needs to listen to this man, especially the government. The government should have consulted with professionals like this who know what they're talking about. I hope that he succeeds in whatever he does. Absolutely incredible knowledge.
@@m4yh3m121 No, it was most definitely not me. But he was able to provide verifiable evidence to corroborate his statements. That's why I'm impressed. Too often decisions are made based on feelings, and not enough on empirical evidence.
@@scottscott232 The thing is, this is such a low burden of proof that it should be laughable, but considering that other experts seem to be unable to do it, should frighten anyone
"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.
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.
The guy who couldn't name a single EU law he was looking forward to not obeying - why could he not be honest and just admit he doesn't like foreigners??
Phillip: "when we leave the EU we will demonstrate the power of this armed and fully operational death star. Then you will understand the power of the dark side."
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.
This video has aged well... Almost every single statement from almost every caller or politician has been factually been proven wrong and with catastrophic consequences...
@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.
You should check out his interview with the Fishing Warden. And theres a couple with farners who pretty much say the same thing "Brexiters and Tories have bo idea how these industries work; and this is why Britian will be poorer."
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....
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 !
(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
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.

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.

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
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 👍
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 one caller sounded like a cartoon villain. Like literally his voice sounded cartoonishly sinister. I understand why he asked the man to verify that he was real, because he sounded like a living caricature

I stumbled across this channel and I must say I love the work that is done here. When the Brexit was decided, as a German, I was really sad. I think a lot of Germans were...just disapppointed. It felt like a break-up or losing a friend who turns his/her back on you. I lived in London for my studies abroad and have been to England many times. Absolutely love the culture. To be honest, I never really understood the motivation behind the Brexit. I think there's just a general shift to the right in many countries at the moment and that manifested in Britain with the Brexit. For me this is absolutely incomprehensible
People are fed up. We've had almost fourteen years of austerity and stagnation. The provincial towns and cities are in decay and services are falling apart. People are alienated and angry as we all get poorer and lose hope of anything getting better. People are easily swung by populist campaigns which declare that - Foreigners are to blame - The EU is to blame They havent managed to connect the dots between the crises and the policies which got us here and who created those crises and policies. We have had Tory and Tory-lite government in the UK since 1979. Many of our current problems were caused by policy decisions made by Tory Governments. For example, the financial meltdown of 2008 was directly caused by Thatcher/Reagan deciding to deregulate the financial sector. This created a competition for growth Through Risk-Taking which enabled many of them to commit Hara-Kiri. And since the banks are all mutually dependent, the fall of only a couple of big players brings down the whole financial system. They print trillions of money to 'save' the system which all ends up in the hands of the banks again, it creates a bubble of false value and a need for the banks to find growth through Risk Taking again - and the whole demented game restarts. We've been told that Foreigners and the EU are to blame for our situation. (It is of course quite insane, but thats the power of propaganda and brain dead populism) Now we've lurched even further down the road to nowhere - another right wing experiment intended to benefit corporations and the wealthy people who own them. But truly, the authors of this new crisis through this new 'policy' haven't a clue where this Brexit experiment will leave us. Personally, I believe that in ten years (if the next financial meltdown hasnt quite happened by then) the UK will be even poorer and more broken than we are now - and irrelevant in international politics.
Thats a fair enough point of view. But can I ask if you ventured much further than London in the time you spent here in the UK? And if you did so, did you spend a meaningful amount of time with the local people in those areas? And, as a German, how much time have you spent with people in the areas beyond the town you live in back home? We all tend to see what we want to see on our travels, so I ask not to trap you like a cynic, but to hold up a mirror to what you're saying and to see if you can see the blind spot that the remain politicians missed.
@@alexanderlipowsky6055 Absolutely correct large scam pulled on the people couldn't watch Moog but his payout was quite hefty as was alot of the others that bankrolled the leave campaign. The nationalism slant was reserved for the little people who they needed to buy in, luckily for them the UK has no shortage of xenophobes.
not being British, I thought fair enough , maybe I don't understand the real issues and their was some validity to Brexit. after hearing all the callers I realised you guys are just nuts. The issue is half the British still think they rule and foreigners were stealing from them.
I think the real problem is that Americans have no idea what their country is in the first place. When you're brought up swearing allegiance to a flag and told that you're better off than everyone else on the planet, that's what people believe. There's no room for improvement because America is perfect. If anything's wrong it's someone else's fault and as soon as you eliminate them things will be great again.
I don’t feel really sorry for him... don’t get me wrong i respect his courage and his critical thinking but it is his own fault ... he allowed himself to be manipulated by politicians and in view of european history and as a german it is almost unthinkable for me that people have become so disgruntled and gullible about politics again. This critically thinking approach might have been appropriate before the referendum.
Yeah I also feel sorry for him and I also respect his not only realising his mistake but having the courage to publicly admit it. This is what gives me hope that the UK will own this mistake and work to resolve it.

From Aotearoa New Zealand I’d love a serious 10 episode Documentary on it all narrated by James O’Brien. Can we just get it done already. Or just stitch every LBC report across the timescape of pre-Brexit to a year or two later.
The irony is that EU countries CAN control immigration while in the EU; Sweden, Italy etc . . . You can’t live or be legitimately employed, buy a car etc in these countries without being formally registered and issued an ID (Sweden ID by personal numbers). UK blames the EU for its own decision not to have ID and registration processes for its own people and those from outside the UK 😰

@William Mills I live in Germany. Covid is delaying many luxury wares for Christmas shopping, shipping proces are insane, and raw materials/building materials have become more expensive. But wow we are lightyears removed from lacking anything remotely as important as food or gas. There are no shortages and prices are normal. And we've just been ravaged by a terrible flood catastrophe of historic proportions. You have a shortage of lorry drivers to deliver gas and food because you kicked them out of the country. That's 100% Brexit. Has nothing to do with Covid.
@William Mills if there's not a shortage of lorry drivers due to Brexit then why are the government offering short term visas to the European lorry drivers we already kicked out? Covid supply issues have been compounded by a lack of workforce doing essential service jobs in this country like logistics, fruit & veg picking etc. By the way the fuel crisis isn't over, people face bills hundreds of pounds more expensive which WILL result in people dying this winter, all because a country which doesn't produce anything decided it was smart to cut itself off from it's primary market.

@@MonstaTrapz Nah, I voted for Biden and I feel very well justified in that vote. And before you start whining about the economy or gas prices, know that the amount of power the President has over either of those things is INCREDIBLY limited, so try coming up with another reason I was voting against my own interests. Besides, people who voted for Biden were hardly gleeful about it. We just wanted Trump to get out of office. Trump voters are the ones who seem to have a slavish devotion to their political messiah. Most people who voted for Biden simply did so because we thought he was the guy who stood the best chance of defeating Trump and lowering the temperature, due to his long-standing position as a moderate. But I will commend you on having the integrity to admit Biden won due to popular support.
@Pa N I'll give you credit Pa, my standards for Trumpers is admittedly bottom of the barrel, but at least you're admitting (maybe accidentally) that Biden won. That puts you in the top 30% or so of Trumpers on the honesty scale.

The End - stop trying to make out otherwise.
Plenty of people could predict.

And many of those that could predict, but kept their mouths shut or said otherwise, will be a whole lot richer as a result.
It is called disaster capitalism - Rees Mogg's father wrote a book about it.
@Rifle Eyez Oh dude, really?? Australia tends to trade with other countries NEAR it. That is how they cope with their geography. Ditto most other countries. Why would Australia rely on a trading region 12 thousand miles away? Equally, the UK joining a south east asian trading pact as a replacement for the EU is complete nonsense. Similarly the US.
Reducing the frictionless trading capacity of a nation from 300m potential customers down to 60m potential customers will have an impact on that nation. You do not need to predict very much. Try getting mail order in Northern Ireland at the moment - many suppliers, simply, will not do it. There are industries being decimated by this, currently.

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.

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 😊
Since the Brexit vote, immigration from Africa and Pakistan has gone up while going down from europe. To vote for Brexit to stop immigration full stop is completely idiotic
Well, you got 4 million eu citizens here now - cherish them, there will be a trickle but yea most of the fresh off the boats will be from outside Europe

vilifying Europeans expats/immigrants is at least idiotic mainly cause the average European contributes more to the economy compare to the average brit and the average non-eu immigrant takes more than they put in....non eu immigration was regulated based on national law which make the membership question even more idiotic
That is why all Asians and Africans voted Brexit. They don't travel to Europe, they don't do business with Europe so let's mess up the relationship.
Watching this now in August 2024. WOW!!

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.

"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.

I stumbled across this channel and I must say I love the work that is done here. When the Brexit was decided, as a German, I was really sad. I think a lot of Germans were...just disapppointed. It felt like a break-up or losing a friend who turns his/her back on you. I lived in London for my studies abroad and have been to England many times. Absolutely love the culture. To be honest, I never really understood the motivation behind the Brexit. I think there's just a general shift to the right in many countries at the moment and that manifested in Britain with the Brexit. For me this is absolutely incomprehensible
the motive is easily explained by billionaries wishing to shill out the country. not even nationalism, just shilling.
People are fed up. We've had almost fourteen years of austerity and stagnation. The provincial towns and cities are in decay and services are falling apart.
People are alienated and angry as we all get poorer and lose hope of anything getting better.
People are easily swung by populist campaigns which declare that - Foreigners are to blame - The EU is to blame
They havent managed to connect the dots between the crises and the policies which got us here and who created those crises and policies.
We have had Tory and Tory-lite government in the UK since 1979. Many of our current problems were caused by policy decisions made by Tory Governments.
For example, the financial meltdown of 2008 was directly caused by Thatcher/Reagan deciding to deregulate the financial sector. This created a competition for growth Through Risk-Taking which enabled many of them to commit Hara-Kiri.
And since the banks are all mutually dependent, the fall of only a couple of big players brings down the whole financial system.
They print trillions of money to 'save' the system which all ends up in the hands of the banks again, it creates a bubble of false value and a need for the banks to find growth through Risk Taking again - and the whole demented game restarts.
We've been told that Foreigners and the EU are to blame for our situation. (It is of course quite insane, but thats the power of propaganda and brain dead populism)
Now we've lurched even further down the road to nowhere - another right wing experiment intended to benefit corporations and the wealthy people who own them.
But truly, the authors of this new crisis through this new 'policy' haven't a clue where this Brexit experiment will leave us.
Personally, I believe that in ten years (if the next financial meltdown hasnt quite happened by then) the UK will be even poorer and more broken than we are now - and irrelevant in international politics.
Thats a fair enough point of view. But can I ask if you ventured much further than London in the time you spent here in the UK? And if you did so, did you spend a meaningful amount of time with the local people in those areas? And, as a German, how much time have you spent with people in the areas beyond the town you live in back home? We all tend to see what we want to see on our travels, so I ask not to trap you like a cynic, but to hold up a mirror to what you're saying and to see if you can see the blind spot that the remain politicians missed.
We are sad too. We showed our closest friends how arrogant we are.
@@alexanderlipowsky6055 Absolutely correct large scam pulled on the people couldn't watch Moog but his payout was quite hefty as was alot of the others that bankrolled the leave campaign. The nationalism slant was reserved for the little people who they needed to buy in, luckily for them the UK has no shortage of xenophobes.
not being British, I thought fair enough , maybe I don't understand the real issues and their was some validity to Brexit. after hearing all the callers I realised you guys are just nuts. The issue is half the British still think they rule and foreigners were stealing from them.
I'm listening to this on August 24th 2022, and it's exponentially worse than could have been imagined when these conversations were had.
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
“What have I done to my country?”
We need some of that clarity here in the US.
I think the real problem is that Americans have no idea what their country is in the first place. When you're brought up swearing allegiance to a flag and told that you're better off than everyone else on the planet, that's what people believe. There's no room for improvement because America is perfect. If anything's wrong it's someone else's fault and as soon as you eliminate them things will be great again.
Admitting you’re wrong when you are, is a clear sign of evolving. “There is no point of having a mind, if you’re not willing to change it.”
Admission of culpability is a sign of being an adult.
Yup
@@alwhyte6533 did he admit culpability though??
Seems like he still thinks he suitable for voting
I felt really sorry for the guy in tears... it’s not easy to admit you are wrong and he does it on national radio.
I don’t feel really sorry for him... don’t get me wrong i respect his courage and his critical thinking but it is his own fault ... he allowed himself to be manipulated by politicians and in view of european history and as a german it is almost unthinkable for me that people have become so disgruntled and gullible about politics again. This critically thinking approach might have been appropriate before the referendum.
@@asator2746 most of england got manipulated then
@@konradzaleski860 true
Yeah I also feel sorry for him and I also respect his not only realising his mistake but having the courage to publicly admit it. This is what gives me hope that the UK will own this mistake and work to resolve it.
"its easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled"
"tell me how it can work" caller spends 30mins spitting rhetoric with no thought in their head. And when that bloke called in, in tears. Right in the feels
Pardon?
"Are you talking to me?". "No Paul...I am talking to Andy Pandy" Beautiful.
Honestly I cant believe James stated calm for so long
This should be a Netflix special 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
🤩
would it be classed as fiction or documentary? And is there a Horror Section in documentary?
@@timneal675 comedy
From Aotearoa New Zealand I’d love a serious 10 episode Documentary on it all narrated by James O’Brien. Can we just get it done already. Or just stitch every LBC report across the timescape of pre-Brexit to a year or two later.
…why? It literally already exists, it’s right here to be watched and shared. What possible benefit would Netflix add
Brexit! The gift that just keeps on giving
It's getting worse and worse
It gave Britain an Emperor Palpatine.🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I kinda love the senator Palpatine guy calling in.
Even his voice reflects his unhinged views!
that had to be fake, that cant be real.
@@ansgarmoneyboy uncle Fester is real..
@@robertblokdijk901 that's the stuff of nightmares
@@ansgarmoneyboy self hating people are the craziest
He is the enemy within
40:26 this guy's voice is funny AF, he's like a caricature of an English dude. Picturing Ebenezer Scrooge shaking a cane
Philip in Sandbach "If Brexit means falling off a cliff edge, so be it" 😭😁😁😁
I know I shouldn't laugh
It's scary, isn't it?
The irony is that EU countries CAN control immigration while in the EU; Sweden, Italy etc . . . You can’t live or be legitimately employed, buy a car etc in these countries without being formally registered and issued an ID (Sweden ID by personal numbers). UK blames the EU for its own decision not to have ID and registration processes for its own people and those from outside the UK 😰
Remind Stockholm.
Breaks my heart every time I hear Bill say he's 'so sorry, what have i done to my country'.
That tearful Brexit supporter had me in tears as well and I'm not even British :(
Same here. Because it's often these gullible, old people that are taken advantage of by the scumbag politicians all over the world. And at the end they are the ones that suffer the most.
What Brexit the vote was a joke the thing hasn’t happened. Still in 2020.
Jesus, he was an embarrassment to his family
@@iceman9646 no he wasnt, he was a decent man who realised he had been duped by the monstrous lies and stupidity of the UKIP and leave campaigns. He had a lot of courage unlike you who can only mock. I bet the people who know you are embarrassed every time you open your foul mouth.
Lynne Gill I bet you’re right
The UKIP guy needs to go into voice acting, because his voice is perfect for essentially every evil old character.
Phillip from sandbach is the most unintentionally funny person I’ve ever heard.
Executive order 6....Brexit
Lol 😂 I love that guy. I was screaming. I want to hear him debate all day
Fast forward to Sept 2021, food and fuel shortage, British have finally accomplished what German could do with U-boats in WW2
Listening to this is 2021 as an Irish Australian in London... Why should I stay in this country again? I have a partner with EU settled status.... I can come and go cause of the CTA.... I dont feel secure here and I dont see it getting better...
@William Mills no it has not, you lot that voted us out has a lot to answer for..
@William Mills I live in Germany. Covid is delaying many luxury wares for Christmas shopping, shipping proces are insane, and raw materials/building materials have become more expensive. But wow we are lightyears removed from lacking anything remotely as important as food or gas. There are no shortages and prices are normal. And we've just been ravaged by a terrible flood catastrophe of historic proportions.
You have a shortage of lorry drivers to deliver gas and food because you kicked them out of the country. That's 100% Brexit. Has nothing to do with Covid.
@William Mills if there's not a shortage of lorry drivers due to Brexit then why are the government offering short term visas to the European lorry drivers we already kicked out? Covid supply issues have been compounded by a lack of workforce doing essential service jobs in this country like logistics, fruit & veg picking etc.
By the way the fuel crisis isn't over, people face bills hundreds of pounds more expensive which WILL result in people dying this winter, all because a country which doesn't produce anything decided it was smart to cut itself off from it's primary market.
@William Mills ages ago🤣
I really feel for what people like the first guy and James are going through. We Americans are well-aquainted with the concept of watching people gleefully vote against their own interests because they've been lied to.
Yeah like when Biden won
@@MonstaTrapz Nah, I voted for Biden and I feel very well justified in that vote. And before you start whining about the economy or gas prices, know that the amount of power the President has over either of those things is INCREDIBLY limited, so try coming up with another reason I was voting against my own interests.
Besides, people who voted for Biden were hardly gleeful about it. We just wanted Trump to get out of office. Trump voters are the ones who seem to have a slavish devotion to their political messiah. Most people who voted for Biden simply did so because we thought he was the guy who stood the best chance of defeating Trump and lowering the temperature, due to his long-standing position as a moderate.
But I will commend you on having the integrity to admit Biden won due to popular support.
@@MonstaTrapzit’s amazing how you still tried it
@@MonstaTrapz Clearly intelligence isn't your thing
@Pa N I'll give you credit Pa, my standards for Trumpers is admittedly bottom of the barrel, but at least you're admitting (maybe accidentally) that Biden won. That puts you in the top 30% or so of Trumpers on the honesty scale.
I'm very impressed how Mr. O'Brien can stay polite. I could not.
Passive aggressive - very British.
James has this calm, down to earth method to destroy people! Dude’s amazing!
aka arrogance.
"No Paul, I'm asking Andy Pandy" - Tea spilled everywhere!
It is amazing how some people can fervently stand for something, but not know anything about it.
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.
As an American, I'm so glad it's not just us that have to deal with idiots on a daily basis.
It's driven by bias and not even trying to have an once of empathy for toward another human being.
No, we have to see Biden on our news quite often too.
This should be a Netflix special.
I would pay for it.
39:36 I respect a man admitting his errors while in tears.
Honestly that's the saddest call, the guy seems to genuinely be so broken up over his decision, it's very sad
I voted leave but I blame Bill as well
He might well ask: “what have I done to my country”? He should cry, it’s grave very very grave what has been done by this fools errand. The UK has cut itself off at the knees for years to come.
@@sararichardson737 i think the most important thing to remember is that these people were lied to. the propaganda campaign was so strong that despite having all the facts in front of them, these people were bombarded with so many lies that they actually believed them. who fault is brexit? sure, the people who voted for it arent blameless, they refused to learn what they were actually voting for. but the liars like rupert murdoch, who uses fearmongering about immigrants to stoke the flames of racial tensions, and nigel farage, who flees to america to avoid the recession he created, they are the real culprits. they tricked half the voting population into self-destruction to line their own pockets. shame on them
Jacob Rees-Mogg sounds exactly how I'd expect a haunted Victorian doll in an adult swim cartoon to sound. 😂😂
I didn't know emperor Palpatine was a UKIP candidate.
Neither did I, but I'm not surprised 😂
I must have missed that scene in Star Wars where the Emperor says the N-word and treats his cheap foreign workers quite poorly.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 I see him calling from that chair in Return of the jedi. Hilarious 😄
