As a working class man it drives me mad fellow working class keep voting Tory, they couldn’t give a toss about them and they still do it.

"I voted to be poorer". You've got to wonder what he uses for a brain, I just hope he enjoys his sovereignty.

[roddychristodoulou]

The first guy was a classic case of working class people voting Tory .
The problem is he can't understand why he votes Tory and brushes it aside .

Not one area in our apsect of life has improved in the last 14 year under these Tory grifters. Not one.

Cognitive dissonance of the first caller was epically funny you can hear his brain start hurting when forced to think about his reasoning.

Reform, the party for Brexiters who refuse to admit that they got us into this mess.

[heymrnickerbocker]

Not this unemployed dude complaining about people not working 😂😂 dude is on the dole mad at the immigrants coming and working. 😂😂

[barbra]

I’m not sure that the conservatives have ever had any humanity or empathy for anyone.

that first caller shows how deluded the country is

"You're putting words in my mouth, " translates as, "You're clarifying my stock phrases, gleaned from numerous right-wing tabloids, and explaining exactly what they actually mean."

I've just had a similar exchange with someone who said that holding an unreasonable prejudice against a specific group didn't mean he was a bigot, when that is literally the exact definition of bigot as described in the dictionary.

There is nothing more dangerous than a deluded Tory, as recent has shown with their erroneous beliefs. Thank you James for providing your educational services in the way that you do. Please continue in order for us to have hope.

2 simple rules for life;
No.1 - Never trust a tory
No.2 - Never forget rule number 1

I love how these fools ring in and just make your show even funnier. I love how you use simple logic and common sense to floor them

[STEPNEYHECKLER-hvmv]

"Economy aside." The second caller is bonk&rs. Thev economy is a basket case due to the Tories being economically illiterate for thev last 45 years.

[ragnarok]

who the **** would vote to make themselves poorer?! Jesus me...

[JAYish]

They say they'll never vote tory again... But you can bet your bottom dollar .. come the election .. They will vote Tory..

[kjbray]

The Europeans all felt unwelcome when we voted Brexit, millions left and all these service sector jobs are left empty.

[jesvoas]

I've lived overseas for over 30 years now but have been saddened, and at times shocked, by decisions made by British politicians and the public alike over the last 14 years. As an ex-pat that still holds great affection for the UK, PLEASE vote the Tories out next time. You deserve so much better. Thanks in advance

Brexit has broken Britain - as one well-known writer has written!

[ddcfrhn]

That cracked me up get all the people not working back to work lol except him because he's happy to be poorer for the benefit of the economy in general lol. He has a vote that's the most frightening part of it all.
