A millionaire, an immigrant and you are sitting at a table with 1000 biscuits on it.
The millionaire snatches 999 of them, turns to you and says "That immigrant is trying to steal your biscuit"
Funny. I always said capitalism is when the masters throw a bone to their dogs and we fight over it like idiots while they feast on actual food. Love the joke, much pithier.
Wealth hoarding in 2021 is more like having 100,000 biscuits and taking 99,999 and than splitting the last one between the billionaire and you, the billionaire blaming the immigrant, and than convincing you to donate your half to the billionaire.
You said exactly what I said but added a few decimals....
Do you feel better?
@@loki2655 one of the biggest problems with the discussion of wealth inequality is not using the right words to describe how large the gap really is.
But yea, I feel better.
Since their are more millionaires in the ruling class than billionaires, I'm closer to the truth than you were, but you go right ahead
To a german like me eu means so much more than trade.I will never ever get why remain campaign never pointed out,how wonderful it is to be european .
Same to me. I am from the Netherlands.
We did.

The basic common denominator about the invention of brexit was, has, is, and will always be: anglo chauvinism and the nostalgia of empire
No truer words spoken. Perfect Syllogism
Indeed. Especially as so many pro-brexit people scream "sovereignty"
you forgot Patriotism.
James, we're not renewing your contract because we are below BAME quotas and you cost too much. Nigel Farrage had to first because he was speaking out and would've caused dischord with those we are forced to employ by laws brought in by foriegners. ...the time will come!
remoaners pretending to be former brexit. propaganda farce forum!
Admitting you've made a mistake and you were wrong is not weakness - it is a sign of growth and strength. People shouldn't be shamed for mistakes they made and learned from
AS long as they have indeed learned from their mistake. Unfortunately, some people just Rinse, and Repeat!
What about their mistakes when it kills someone as in anti-Vaxers?
a mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn from it
I half agree. I do feel they need a strong reminder periodically when their choices have demonstrably affected other people negatively. Without that, they're likely to repeat their stupidity.
You're right; but that's very difficult when we catch so much heat when we make a mistake. The cost of a mistake is often socially high.
What staggers me is that through centuries of betrayal, the British public still trust their rulling class. No wonder they are treated with such contempt.
It's called "democracy", you Idiot. Not all countries have democracy. We are Sooo lucky to have it. Yes, OUR government doesn't always get it right but at least it's OUR BRITISH government. OUR government, vote for by the British public in BRITAIN. Forgien EU governments don't tell us what to do EVER!! My grandparents never tolerated the Nazis ruling Britain in WW2, and us Brexiters won't tolerate the EU ruling Britain now.😁😁👍👍
@Ryan Hall Very well said.

A wise man will admit he’s wrong, a fool never will.
Correct there. Wise admit to be Wrong / Unsure. Fools carry on Regardless.
That's why remainers/remoaners just wont accept democracy. A wise man accepts democracy, a fool never will.
An even wiser man will stand back and watch others make mistakes, because it's cheaper that way......

Just found this show and JOB. Now bingeing. As an American, I don't follow UK politics so closely and didn't realize how close the parallels are. It makes me both heartened and sad to know we are not alone in this Era of divisive politics.
along with conspiracies and outright lies.
James said that if we were in the EU we could resist any changes but we never hear the idea that we could have become more engaged, built up alliances and attempted to instigated changes to policies we were not happy about. Instead we just shouted from the side lines and ended up throwing the baby away with the bath water.
That is exactly what the uk has been doing though. The uk was one of the most influential members concerning legislation and a whole lot of eu legislation was on request of the the uk.

As a UK expat living in Spain for the last 20 years, I have been struggling to reconcile my anger at the fact that family and friends back in the UK voted to leave and potentially destroy my life and future here in the EU. Obviously I know that is not the reason they did so, but your phrase ‘contempt for the conmen, compassion for the conned’ has helped me at least to redirect my anger not at my loved ones, but towards those who perpetrated the lies on which they based their decision.
You're living in your preferred system. Kindly focus on your own country and not on ours, thanks.
@@ringtail1410 I am, now that all my Spanish paperwork is complete, I am no longer at the mercy of decisions that will affect my life made thousands of miles away. However, until that moment, of course I had to have a very vested interest in the outcomes of those decisions that could have meant the difference between being able to continue to live here, or uproot myself and start my life again in the UK from nothing. Also, just because I no longer live in the UK does not mean I don't feel kinship for, or care for my family and friends there - my brexit uncertainty story has at least been a short one, their plight will likely take a lot longer to resolve. Thankyou for your concern, though!
Stop with the 'ex pat' nonsense. You are an immigrant.
@@danganbeg7225 expatriate

Congrats.

They, (the tories), have stolen your biscuits.
Ask the 200 hundred welders and construction workers who were contracted to work at Drax Power Station who were just sacked after a dispute about working conditions and then replaced by the Italian contractor with 200 Italians and all legal under EU law which the British Government couldn't do anything to stop - I guess that didn't endear the EU to their families and their communities.

I voted for brexit ... and stand behind that."

"They're trying to steal your biscuits!" 😆
I work in construction. And I can tell you we have so many jobs and no men to do it. Between COVID and brexit. No one is coming to uk anymore in droves like they were and the industries are struggling because of it. Soon no one will be wanting to rent or buy these apartments I’m working on on a daily basis. Before brexit we never had shortage of men. Restaurants can’t get staff. It’s crazy that their is so much work available and no one to do it.
But aren't all the brexiteers ready to step up to the plate and fill all the jobs? I thought that that was what it was about. Jobs for Britains. Get out there lads. Pick fruit, drive trucks, pound nails. Bend your backs for British sovereignty.
Yes you have, all the. Brexiteers there vote for leave. Let them work in the production industry and farms and construction, after there came back from there work
The Witch buggered up apprenticeships that's why we have no home grown workers. My son studied carpentry and joinery for 3 years, got a distinction and could he get taken on by a construction firm? No chance. So look to yourself mate and your industry.
Well you can always work yourself, if possibly with the wages you were paying the Poles....
@@stephenreeds3632 Carpentry and joinery? It's tough. Most of the jobs are for the relatively unskilled. It's very hard too if one specializes instead of taking anything and everything. Being in America, I don't know your industry that well, but over here to make a decent living one has to be in the Union, and most of the people who get in are sons of union members, and there is constant pressure to under cut the unions and force them to shrink. I did contracting over here for 15 years before I gave it up. I loved it, but the money just wasn't worth it in the end, though if I had bid all the jobs 5% higher I could have left with something worthwhile.
I looked at voting for leave, watched the various propaganda films and ultimately decided to vote remain. Many friends of mine voted leave and i feel that they have been.hoodwinked. I actually felt that we are a smaller place for leaving the eu.
But it was a delusion that we were bigger than we thought and could do better that led some to think leaving would be brilliant for us. And now we know how much of our strength and success was due to us being part of the most economically advanced and successful trading bloc on Earth. We are now looking at 10 years of decline, if not longer, until we return to the EU.

The funny thing is the very first thing you guys did in the eu, you joined in 72... and in 75 you had a referendum to leave... it was a looooooong time in the making.
The trouble is we are wired for instant gratification and, unfortunately, the truth is dull.
And scotland has lots of filipino nurses, I am scottish and I love these people I have lived amongst them in the philippines
My girlfriend is Hungarian and we actually met in scotland so I definitely do not want brexit, however I'd like to reassure you that it should not affect phillipino workers as the Philippines is not in the EU. That being said there are lots of European workers in Scotland and it could be an issue

We should have had another actual referendum, you can't say much based on the election, there was a lot more to it than brexit. But you would never have wanted to properly consult people again, I'm sure.

Yes... In a Nut Shell !
I feel like it’s become such an emotional issue now that quite a few leave voters would rather claim some kind of victory over the 2016 result than consider what’s actually in their interest
That's called cutting your nose off to spite your face. Even though the leave campaign was all lies, which now has been proved, they would still vote leave again just to safe face, if we had another referendum. I find this whole debacle so depressing.

@@spicehedge Your tin foil hat is on too tight.
There are two important themes: 1) People do not know how to research facts on internet. they are likely to look for what they believe until they find one who claims the same. It happens through all political wings and all social standards. f.e. I once saw a video claiming total nonsense. And it wasn't even well researched. While there are a ton of trustable videos claiming something else you could find a lot of comments like "OMG i didn't know", "OMG, thank you for telling me, nobody else told me" .... So basically they see literally one person claiming something and believe it immediately . 2) Again in all political wings, media and all social standards people are boxed into groups like gender, race, political wings, nationality, wealth..... defining some groups as good and the others as bad. But they are not boxed by their characters. Idiots can be rich or poor, immigrants or not, black or white, men or women, and the nicest people you can find in all of those groups too. we should start treating people by their character and not by which groups they represent.
Your first point applies very well to conspiracy theory. There's the allure of some sort of knowledge that few people have or that is somehow hidden. When instead it's just lies and deception. But people will buy it without question and regurgitate it without hesitation
Couldn't agree more! You're clearly a sane empathetic intelligent person, thank goodness there are some 👍👍
I'm an expat, originally from London who now lives in New Zealand. It saddens me to see what's happened to Britain. I was not eligible to vote but like Owen Wilson, on balance I would have wished for Britain to remain in the EU. Even though it is a neoliberal project.

I agree with people who get annoyed with James’s patronising responses on occasions but he talks a lot of sense as we will find out to our cost.
@Gele Someone can still be patronising, even though you don't let yourself be patronised, surely.
However you reply to an idiot comes across as patronising.
I've never seen him do that to anyone with a sentient argument. It's weird that you think people who don't know what they're talking about deserve to be heard as much as others. Entirely weird.
I think he shows remarkable patience. Some of his shows have utter idiots phoning in (not this one, so much) and he does his best to educate them. Is that regarded as patronizing?
I don’t think it is patronising to be straight with people who either spread lies and propaganda or are too lazy to search the truth on important issues
You are sorely needed sir. Thank you for bringing illumination to the naive, education to the ignorant and humble pie for the arrogant. Contempt for the con man compassion for the conned!

What does it means to have the right to deal with Common Market what deals had been done for that. UK learnt that the hard way. The fact that people who know play with that in Politics is absolutely disgusting. They play with the ignorance of people.

I knew I was right, that leaving was a terrible idea, for several reasons. I turned out to be right. Was I wrong to insist I was right?
Nope, but leavers are behaving like toddlers, if you want avoid these people doing even more damage than they have allready done, you got to behave like you really really are understanding of their actions, no matter how insane they were to begin with.
It!s been 6 years since Brexit and most people realise that it"s a long term scheme and not much is going to improve with the upset

That sounds so like the Brits. Wanting out of a particular situation, bad-mouthing their trading partners, and then expecting a special deal from those same partners. Why? Because they're British? Because they ruled the world from the barrel of a gun for 300 years before becoming largely irrelevant? Because of the exceptionalism second only to that of us Americans? All of the above, probably. While they're pontificating and acting entitled atop their high horses, modern transportation and mindset is leaving them behind. They need the EU far more than the EU needs them.

Well, it is too late now, the damage is done.
I've just retired from construction bricklayer stone Mason.. 50yrs and never found a problem with foreigners taking our jobs..
Probably because the quality of your work spoke for itself, negating any possible threat of being replaced.
All but the dimmest gammons realise leaving was a mistake.

Love the slogan 'Contempt for the conmen, compassion for the conned'
Does that include all the conned remain voters who believed George Osbourne's ridiculous forecast for the economy in the event of a leave referendum win?
@@lynx-7190 unfortunately, due to the timing of Covid and our official departure from the EU, its going to be extremely difficult to prove which is responsible for our impending economic downturn; but as a business owner who voted to Remain, the enormous tariffs I'm now paying for goods from EU member states suggests there might be some truth in it. Not to mention the tariffs for goods from countries the EU states have trade deals with that we no longer benefit from...that are likely to take years to negotiate a replacement, and as we don't have the same bargaining power as the EU, are unlikely to ever hold a torch to them.
Do you feel vindicated? I hope so.
@@GetGwapThisYear I was referring to George Osbourne's predictions that in the hours and days after a leave referendum win, there would be a shock to the economy , 500,000 job losses, housing market crash, recession and much more which as we know did not happen. I'm not sure why as a business owner you are paying enormous tariffs on EU goods as the UK has a tariff free, quota free, trade deal with the EU from 1/1/2021. I feel vindicated because businesses will recover from the complications of exiting the EU, but more importantly the end of freedom of movement will also end the exploitation of low paid workers, many of them EU nationals themselves. Also the UK has already secured trade deals with over 58 countries.
Don’t leave voters who have realized they were conned, have an obligation to mobilize themselves, come together (The Lied to Alliance?) and present themselves to the government to shame the very people who misled them? It’s great that they’re sorry, but its not going to radically change public opinion without a gesture to make all leavers sit up & reflect on their decision
Not their biscuits!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent programme. However, I don't think it is up to James O'brien to tell people who voted for leave that they have nothing to apologise for. I am a non-British EU citizen and my life has already changed dramatically for the worse, the whole situation has had a very negative impact on my mental health. I for one appreciate their apologies, even though a lot of damage has already been done. I don't know what will happen and I am very scared.
All the Audi , bmw ,vw, mini , Vauxhall , Honda , Nissan , Toyota , Jaguar buyers hope you are looking forward to increased prices , sorry forgot about Bentley, Rolls-Royce , Lotus and maybe some more . Ps the only car industry we have depends on these

Another reason they spread lies on social media is because it gets their posts lots of likes, lots of follows, etc and then from that they can make money through advertisements or by renaming the page and selling it to someone that will use it for something else entirely such as selling a product.
I work at an Research Institute in the Netherlands, our Institute receives 21,8 milion Euro from the EU for doing research. I would vote Stay 😄
This episode was recorded and published prior to brexit. I immediately note the concilliatory tone in James attitude in the discussion and compare that with today, Oct 2021. The tone is now somewhat less patient with a higher sense of urgency to possibly find any bright spot in the currently isolated economy of the UK. Much of what is happening was of course identified in broad terms by economists and analysts since 2017. The shock for analysts isn't what is happening today, this was forecasted. The real shock for us was when it became clearer that the UK was intending to leave the single market.
At the time Of the referendum, I thought Brexit was a great idea. But the proposed execution wasn't at all solid. The facts were out there in the wonderful World Wide Web before the 1st referendum and this is how I came to a decision to remain, because the risks seem too high and I wasn't seeing or hearing any discourse to quell my hazardous feelings towards leaving. In fact becoming a 3rd country and operating under WTO rules for me was the straw that broke the camels back. To me it just sounded like economic suicide. I remember thinking back then if we were planning to leave the EU to either join another trading block or form a new one with other countries I would of happily voted to leave - but that wasn't the case. We were... still are planning on jumping in a car and drive at full speed down the M1 with no brakes! Madness
Well thats nonsensical. You voted remain and went to imright dot com for the "facts". The truth is there is uncertainty in Brexit but there is also liberation in the sense of trade and lawmaking. The EU bloc have destroyed the eurpoean nations individual economies, have a borderline corrupt leadership, produces a backlash in the poorer EU nations giving rise to nationlist parties, provide a sizeable trough for failed politicians who can get paid stupid amounts a day for producing next to zero results and they take forever to sign new trade deals with non EU nations.
Why would you want to stay, especially since we were told an EU army is never going to happen by Nick Clegg. Now it is happening. I do not want Europe to become a United States of Europe.
@Cian McCabe You say ther is alot wrong with it but only rebuted my statement about the EU toll on independant economies. Well not to be condescending but what happens when multiple nations with very different GDP are unified under a single currency? It's chaotic. I've walked through entire towns throughout europe that are pretty much ghost towns.
If you cant see why a unified europe would be bad you must be itching for a war. Peace in europe has existed because of their independence from one another whilst mutually co operating. The EU in theory sounds great but it never works out in reality. Simply because there are influences within the EU parliament that are hellbent on empire building through corruption and cloak and dagger. If you are interested in symbolism compare the Tower of Babel to the EU Parliament building. This was all intentional.
Furthermore thisnk upon the implications of a United nations of Europe. Tyrants exist and should one ever become the leader of the united europe then we are putting our future generations in danger. As individual independant nations we can keep one another in check.

Props to Andy, takes a big man to admit his mistakes especially on national radio. I feel the world could do with more people like him who considerer the status quo to their opinion to an extent it could actually cause it to U turn. Everyone else seems to be so firmly entrenched in their views (myself included) It's a breath of fresh air to see people still have a degree of rationale.
Brexiteers want to have their cake and eat it.
I waited since 2016 to tell you all leave votes : you made your bed now sleep in it!
We were fooled.
Can't help but be reminded of that scene in Payback, where the son of the big boss man is lured into captivity by womanly charms. The way the both of their expressions shift once she has him handcuffed to the radiator is pretty bang on.
OMG, talk about hitting the nail on its head! 7:43 "we have taken the money but not re-invested it" thank you cutting out all the noise and getting straight to the point. Without immigration, UK would face supply side and demand side shock. But I don't blame people who fear the implication of immigration on socioeconomic dynamics.
I think you’re right, I think there’s a logical fear that there is not enough land and resources for all inhabitants, and there is not enough to go around, and this is deliberately constructed by our leaders to make it this way. Instead of people warring against one another and using this as an issue of colour for an evil propaganda sense, we need to be looking at why there are no resources and why our public combined money is not being spent on services and resources which benefit ALL people around the globe .
There is enough land and resources for everyone regardless of anything, but it is not accessible. The division of colour is something that has been cooked up originally by the people in power. And it has been done this way so that people judge others on one aspect of their identity, rather than ask the basic question - why are there not enough resources to reach everybody, regardless of colour, race and creed? Race is one of the many dividing tactics our governments have employed and boy did it work. There’s simpler questions we need to be asking, namely, Where are the fruits of our collective effort really going? Our leaders have some pretty serious questions to answer.
