- "Why are we having a phone-in from 1974?"
What is the worst policy a government has ever implemented? That is the phone-in question James O'Brien posed to his listeners today. Caller David isn't happy with this, pledging to bring some 'positivity' to the conversation.
This positivity, however, manifests as a seven-minute argument about immigration.

What amazes me is how some people blame immigration for our problems but don't look at the huge damage the Tories have done to this country.
People do as the media tells them. And the media has told people to hate immigrants for many years now
Torries voter just being torries 😅
Such as what? What would any other government have done differently?
@@johngreylove1359 found one
@@johngreylove1359 Literally just look at what other governments have done in the past 13 years. Austerity led to poor growth, our COVID recovery "plan" has led to poor growth. Our Brexit "plan" has led to poor growth.
Hearing about immigration day in day out in the media does my head in. Instead of talking about the people who ran this country into the ground while filling their pockets on the way down, we are talking about people who wield no power and have no say. Its maddening but it keeps people voting against their own interests and that's why we talk about it so often.
Name one person who did this without also providing a service.
That is the Tory Party strategy: distract the population by blaming anyone (the unemployed, the disabled, the EU and now asylum-seekers and the Supreme Court) for the corruption and incompetence of the Tory Party, aided and abetted by their client media (mainly non-domicile billionaires) who have also profited from the corruption and incompetence.
Absolutely
Labour politicians destroyed this country and lined their pockets.
@@johngreylove1359 awe you've been duped into defending elites that would want nothing to do with you.
Try focusing your energy on actual issues in this country, not defending offshore billionaire press owners.
And no, printing hate and misinformation is not a service
When will people learn this is all an expensive diversion from the real issues facing the UK
When the media call it out. So far they have at best, sat on the fence.
They won't, Because the Print Media backs up the tories and they have the loudest voices with a simple message: STOP THE BOATS. The fact that legal migration dwarfs "illegal" is somehow completely ignored.
Increasing influence of isl*m by mass migration is a real issue.
Well said
Yes diversion from terrorism
This caller highlights how the Tories may still win. There is so much entrenched ignorance and hatred of 'the other' that only gets worse as the cost of living trudges on.
its sad tbh,after all this the tories probably still wont get wiped out in the GE
Sigh! 13 years on, The Lemmings are still running towards the promised land of "Hope and Glory".
Yes those flipping Tory voters . If only they would educate themselves and align their views with mine.
They're absolutely not going to win
Entrenched in their ignorance is truly the most apt way ive heard it put. The worst part of it all is the fact that these people think theyre the intelligent ones, and everybody else is a ‘lefty immigrant lover’
"I'm Married to a Lady from Asia, who I didn't pay for by the way" I'm sure their age gap is super tiny as well...
He didn't say that
Did he say he didn't pay for this lady from Asia??? Worse and worse!
😂😂😂
@@daydays12no, he said who paid to come here, she's nursing

Offended by a lack of positivity - that's called toxic positivity

Hats off to David. He manage to demontrate his lack of knowledge on a range of topics in just the one short phone call.
😂😂
Such ignorance.
where we going to put all these people this country is full !
😂😂
😂
I'm constantly amazed that there are still people who must listen daily to James demolishing callers and still think it's a wise decision to call in with their open carry stupidity.
Same sort of mentality that used to apply to go on Jeremy Kyle I would suspect
@@Coelacanth1 Not so. Kyle's show preyed upon desperate people in need of help.
He doesn't demolish arguments just relies upon a mix of bullying by time control and condescension.Ironic how he bangs on about his privileged upbringing and useful family journalist connections whilst purporting to be the tribune of the people.
@@anthonyrybicki1000 As someone who's not from the UK observing him I have to say he did demolish that guy with a lot of facts.
I've only got one thing to say. Clement Attlee Tanganyika Nut Scandal. Just brilliant.
This caller: "I'm offended by your negative tone when you talk about this policy."
Also this caller: "The situation is so dire that this government has no choice but to pursue this policy."
This caller reminds me of the Hartlepool voter who voted for the Tories because under their time in government the number of foods banks in Hartlepool has gone from 1 to 8.
Absolutely priceless 👍

I really want to know why he had to escape Scotland to go to Hull. Maybe he should be sent to Rwanda?
LOL😂😂🎉
@@JonathanMorris777Maybe he had to escape Scotland because he realised it was inhabited by the Scots 🤔 🤣🤣
What really bothers me in this call (amongst a lot of other stuff too) is how he refers to people who have not yet entered this country as "illegal immigrants". If they haven't entered the country yet, they haven't done anything to warrant being called "illegal". It's dehumanising, and shows he has no interest in entertaining whether people have genuine asylum cases - he's ready to condemn them on the very nature of them being foreign
Pure ignorance...
If they arrive having destroyed their documents in the channel they are entering illegally.
@@BunFight yes
But they have entered the country
@@BunFightAre u happy that the richest 250 people in this count own 712 billion and others are poor? Bet u don't give a toss!! 😂😂😂
I want to hear more about why he had to leave Scotland because of a problem with the HMRC
Yeah me too. I have a feeling the Asian mail-order bride he alluded to, just might be in the mix as to his reasons for leaving Scotland too.
That sounds likely. The Lady from Asia he didn't pay for!!! @@nickshale6926
I want to know how he squares with being an economic migrant himself too. If you look up the definition of economic migrant, he's an economic migrant per that definition
@@nickshale6926 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@waqasahmed939 He actually arrived in Scotland on a small boat.
Amazing. Ignorant people who actually believe they are smart. I find it funny that these folks call in on their own.
It is the Dunning Kruger effect.
I'm surprised many of them are capable of tying their shoelaces. Or am I giving them too much credit?
You talking about O'brien?
@@georgemorrison4064 No. How do u come to that conclusion??

I would suggest he is at least a product of the media he consumes
@Coelacanth1 same for you old boy, you are no better. Non of your thoughts are likely your own.
He moves goalposts like it's his job.
@@happyapple4269yeah very true, people pick a ‘side’ or particular media figures like James o’brien for example and they just outsource their thinking and opinion from them
He simply doesn't understand you can't apply for asylum outside the UK does he
So many of them really can't grasp the realities of what it means to be a refugee. That if you're a refugee you don't exactly have the luxury to plan, research, or wait to go through an application process before you travel.
No he doesn't. He is ignorant.
He doesn’t understand much.
@@alanmichael5619 riiiiight... young lads who pay a lot of money to cross the channel from the safe country (crossed several safe countries actually), who post tiktoks from boats and who "lost their papers", but not their iPhone really don't have a luxury to plan and research.. sure.
Apparently ignorance isn't bliss. 🤦🏾♂️
The Tories want us to fight among ourselves! Stop it! It's their tactic to do this and hide from it being their mess!
The only positivity I saw with that caller is that he's no longer in Scotland.
I thought that too. The poor Scots have suffered enough without that caller and his not paid for Lady from Asia wife.

I had a operation a few weeks ago and while I was in hospital I noticed on my ward of 8 men we had one foreign patient and at least 20+ foreign staff. Seems to me immigration is keeping the NHS together
I was in ICU in January in an induced coma for days. Nearly everyone who cared for me was, shall I say “foreign” .. they saved my life. I’m forever indebted.
When I had cancer in 2015 I think nearly every healthcare worker I interacted with was not born in Britain, including the highly-skilled surgeon who saved my life.
I have to agree entirely when I had my latest hip replacement the consultant surgeon was Iranian , His registrar was Nigerian and amongst the nursing staff were Irish , at least two W. Indian someone from Hong Kong and a Norwegian .
Most of the ancillary staff had come from either the subcontinent , Europe or the West Indies .
And these people have the cheek to say that immigrants are putting too much stress on the NHS .
@@steveosborne2297 I know it really winds me up both of my parents are immigrants and I was born in Germany. Nobody has a problem with us and I genuinely believe that is purely because we are white
Yes, imigration may well be "keeping the NHS together" and the reason for this is like other in other industries, the NHS has decided it is easier and cheaper to import people from abroad than to train the natives up to do those jobs. Those that are trained up face depressed wages (due to immigration) and often take up jobs in other countries that will pay them more money.
Immigration begets immigration. It is the solution to a problem it itself has caused.
There lies the problem. These people dont have a clue. So what he keeps changing what hes talking about
This is the fault of the murdoch press. They have created a universe where everything is linked: Brexit/immigration/housing/NHS issues/social issues+salaries, and the culprit is always Johnny Foreigner, be it as part of the EU, or as an immigrant, who will be illegal by default. Pass the sick bucket when you have finished with it please.
Sounds like my father in law. It’s painful watching TV with him as he points out any non white person for no reason at all. He married a Filipino woman as well!
Yes. What is it that causes that. Have you ever watched TV 'comedy' from the 60s 70s even the 80s? The racism and misogyny is off the scale......
@@daydays12well to be fair I love Dads Army, Allo Allo etc… but it’s just a comedy and doesn’t influence my political opinions.
I always find it weird, that they can't see the irony.
@daydays12 they are studies that show that racism is quite natural to humans. It's a tribal thing, anyone who looks different is a potential threat.
@@daydays12strange their was a lot less racism then than now ,wonder why that is
"I don't agree with the Rwanda policy, but I don't see that there's any alternative" - What utter mealy mouthed cowardice
Surely the whole point of not agreeing with something suggests the alternative is better..... not i hate this but lets do it anyway
..it's difficult to see an alternative.
Wait until the government tell him that his Internet Bride can't stay here because he doesn't earn £38k a year.😂
Are you being sarcastic? The caller would find it difficult to see anything it seems to me. Rwanda can only take 400 over a couple of years, and the backlog of processed applications is 175000. How is that going to help? Moreover: what they have paid Rwanda would pay for the extra staff to process the applications. Madness pure and simple. @@chatham43

Illegal.
It is not illegal to seek asylum by any means.
It's so sad to hear the same arguments the same lies that we heard here in Australia about asylum seekers. The same offshore idea processing idea led to so much pain and horrors done by the Australian government.
They are not 'seeking asylum', they are forcing entry into a country from which they know they will never be deported. From a country in which they have already found asylum, no less.

@@neilrafferty2097 Mind your step,, it was direct quotation from him. His regular listeners would know that...🙄
Yes but...he got the job because he does it well and having followed him for a while, I think he is quite genuine (I have disagreed with him on a couple of points, but it is obvious he givess his opinions a lot of thought, and researches stuff). @@neilrafferty2097
That’s how he likes it 😂
Why are we having a phone in from 1974? 😂😂😂
All I got from that was Pakistani and Sovereignty.
Yes... he doesn't like Pakistanis does he? That is one thing that seems clear.
And having to leave Scotland 😂
James you have the patience of Job in dealing with these half wits. These people walk among us and are allowed out unsupervised.
The lady from Asia turned her bck for a minute, and he called. She must control him a little better. These mail order brides should all be canonised.
I think the caller doesn't know that to apply for asylum, you literally have to reach the UK mainland, this island. That is the legal requirement, the legal route to get here. That is the main problem. The caller really needs to realise this, otherwise we will not move forward.
Unfortunately, the English government just prefers to dodge the bullet and smear the current situation and paint this immigration as illegal. I would love to say the current immigration is illegal and the government has got the right approach, but it simply isn't the case.
No such thing as illegal immigration, if you do not have a right to be in the UK you are not an immigrant full stop. Asylum seekers always have a right to be in the UK, those who have failed in their application do not
So, you mean like literally ? OMG ! 🙀
...that's no excuse to illegally enter any country.
@@chatham43 This is the governments position but they've made it so that the ONLY way to claim asylum here in many cases is to get here and there's no legal way to do that. They stopped safe and legal routes and the numbers rose. I don't believe that's a coincidence but rather that it's a problem of the governments making.
If you are claiming asylum its not illegal, it doesn't matter how you get there. Any person can claim asylum in any country anywhere regardless of how they get there. It's really simple. Doesn't mean you will be granted it but you can claim it@@chatham43
I don't think the caller got the "You know what happens when you fought the law" quote 🤣
True. But then again, he did not get anything
Yeah it went over his head completely. But then most things probably do.
hahahah!!!@@theradfactor9104

Does he make enough money to be allowed a foreign wife?
David had to press multiple buttons to make this call. With each button-press he had time to consider the merits of continuing down his chosen path. Not only that, he had to wend his way past the call screener and wait to be connected to the studio whereupon he was aware that he would then be live on-air. So many opportunities to bail. So much time to formulate a cogent argument to proffer. And still David blundered on.
I hope, for his sake, he is not as incompetent in the rest of his life. How's it going with the Lady from Asia wife he didn't pay for?
Caller doesn't know the day off the week let alone any policies.
A closed mind is truly a joy forever.
I'm glad you can look on the bright side. It gave me a headache.
I wonder why people still try to outsmart James.
Because they are really sure of themselves, while not checking their facts. I think James called it 'British exceptionalism' at some point.
😂😂
Question or answer?
James is not that smart though listen to his points that change all the time listen how if you disagree with him he slings mud and paints you in a negative light
Unfortunately immigration illegal and legal has gotten out of hand, it needs controlling
They probably hand pick idiots tbh
Sometimes comedic genius transpires in unexpected places.
"Why are we having a call in from 1974?" 😅😅😂😂

It's his democratic right to vote fella,u might not like his views but he still deserves his vote just like yourself

Just for the benefit of the person ringing in: “People must be physically present in the UK to claim asylum. It is not possible to apply for asylum via a UK embassy, or to apply for a visa for the purpose of coming to seek asylum in the UK”. House of Commons Briefing Paper. As James often says, do some research before going on national radio.
The legal way is to stay in the first safe country. No wars in France last I heard
Thanks to Brexit we slammed the door on any work with Europe.
We all have the right to claim asylum where ever we wish. Next we will have rules for where we can and can't visit for holidays. My days.
The person most happy with that call, and who wished it had gone on much, much, much longer is David's wife...who was glad of the rest.
The Bobby Fuller/Clash reference went right over David's head. Still waiting to hear how 240 million being bunged to Rwanda & who knows how much in chartered planes not taking off, all the legal costs, without anybody going is of any use & that Rwanda can only take a couple of hundred per year-which will cost the British taxpayer more than it would to process them here, that Rwanda will be sending a number of their refugees here as part of the deal & that anybody sent there will be deported back to the UK if they get in trouble & that just a few years back Rwanda executed refugees for complaining about the quality of food & the Tories trying to rip up the human rights act for everybody. Please tell us the positives about any of this David & why you will be voting Tory at the next election?
You couldnt make this stuff up.
Spot on mate. The emergency legislation the Tories want to table isn't about sending 200 people to Rwanda. It's about denying 65m British people access to the ECHR.

Respect for the sheer superhuman patience that Mr. O’Brian demonstrated with that absolutely annoying caller
The moment this guy said you can’t tie Brexit to higher migration you know he’s in denial and is happy to keep looking the other way, be lied to and deny the evidence of his own eyes and ears. Yet he’s ‘offended’ with James for pointing out the truth. What he means is he doesn’t like to hear the truth.
It’s ignorance like this that give the Tories a chance of reelection.
Yeah, well, you can prove anything with facts!
Rwanda at most will only result in 500 refugees being sent there.
That is an enormous exaggeration. Rwanda has been given 300 million £ of UK taxpayers' money for sending ZERO asylum seekers there. Perhaps it would be useful for the UK taxpayers to know what Rwanda has spent the money on.
"I've got my child-bride and the recipe for curry, close the door now!"
This was one of the most confusing conversations I have ever heard, well done David.
When I was born over 50 years ago this country was a paradise compared to now.
See your GP same day, dentist within a week, post before going to work, cheap houses to rent and buy, UK was a technology leader , large army and navy etc.
This country is a basket case to compared to this time.
First rule of politics, when you have failed policies distract the citizens onto another subject to avoid being ripped apart and turfed out of office. The policy of shipping asylum seekers overseas is illegal, two wrongs dont make a right, genuine asylum seekers need to be trained and put into the workforce not placed on benefits programnes. Integrate them into the workforce allow them to contribute to society.
James re enacting a scene from The Borrowers with that mug 😂. May as well find something funny with this because I have a feeling this caller is as serious as a heart attack and his mind won’t be changed.
For sure. I'm afraid his disease is catching yuk
I thought I'd imagined his giant mug, and didn't want to check incase I'd gone nuts.
Caller demostrates the Dunning-Kruger effect. His thought bounce around a trampoline of inconsistency and absence of of logical thought.
If they're real refugees, then why are they not bringing ID or proof of origin, and throwing their mobile phones overboard.........and where do they get the £5,000 to pay the people smugglers to get on the boat?
How can asylum seekers pick and choose the country they wish to reside in. If coming from France then why do they need to seek asylum here?
Protect James at all costs!!!
Go look up the 1988 film 'Talk Radio' and watch the ending
I doubt the caller's wife is foreign, I doubt he didn't vote for brexit as he's so pro it
The tories have spent over 240million and not one person has been sent to rwanda.
The question that needs answering is WHY?
Why should the UK accept any people seeking asylum?
I only wish that some callers had more time. Perhaps even a 10 minute timer counting down, so they knew how long they had to try and fight their corner. So many opinions, yet none based on fact as far as I could make out.

I would love to see James O'Brien in a real university-style formal debate against Douglas Murray or various other such figures, instead of the safe studio environment where callers are selected by his minders, and then he intimidates and tries to confuse.
Suddenly Britain's political woes make perfect sense.
It's the voters, they got the leadership they deserve.
This character said he didn't vote in the Brexit referendum. Was he lying... or does he not vote at all?
you did and you do,,pra/.
He was lying. Probs just too embarrassed to admit he voted for it, which would be odd considering he wasn't embarrassed saying any of the nonsense he said on this call@@daydays12
It's been a problem for generations.
...but people have the right to vote for whoever they wish for at the time.
Omg. Why are people still so gullible
exactly like your self
From Immigration to Asylum Seekers, to Brexit, to Youth Crime, to Sovereignty, to housing crisis and cost of living...and this guy was calling in to give some positivity!?
Oh well, at least I got a full-house on my 'Moaning Boomer Bingo Card'.
I have no idea what that was about😂😂
Either James is very small or that mug is very big.
According to his Mrs he's very small🤣😂
I think the big mug is David.
As Suella explained when she had to be honest in a committee hearing, coming in small boats is currently the only legal route for asylum seekers.
And they call us snowflakes
tories, and their sheep...
"Can you remember why you called in?" LoL! I do love James haha!
At the end of the day the Government has got an alternative. CALL AN ELECTION
Missed the 'love to the family'
im sure his name is Colin :P
Thank your crummy media for this guy!
So true.... Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph, Sun.... can't get much lower
