“There has been no Brexit disaster:” James O’Brien vs LBC caller

Has the toxicity now faded from the political debate in the UK?

That was the question James O'Brien was asking his listeners today. Caller Peter agrees that it has - but for a reason that nobody else has brought up. He believes the political venom has dried up because Remainers like James have realised they were 'wrong about Brexit.'

It's a good old fashioned Brexit ding-dong in the year 2024. Enjoy!

LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

"Everything isn't quite so bad as expected" is now the Brexiteer's plimsole line of success.

Peter has made my life and my childrens life poorer in every way. I dont like or forgive Peter.

Disaster?

Ask the farmers
Ask the fishermen
Ask the Steel workers

I live in Belgium and it is easier to order stuff from China than from the UK. The Brits cannot seem to organise their exports properly and I get stung with admin charges for imports from the UK.

Peter starts quite reasonably (truth and reconciliation) but then can't help steer the conversation towards his ultimate goal: defending his 'disastrous' Brexit support against the irrefutable consequences of his decision. And yet he'll come away unfazed by his stupidity.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know. 4% drop in GDP is a major disaster for any nation

Peter Cognitive Dissonance from Dimwitshire.

[Captain_Kremmen]

Ah, it's Mr Dunning-Kruger on the line....

[martinobrien]

Peter is in the Dark Ages . A man convinced of his own ignorance .

[martinobrien]

The Caller is more interested in
" proving " James wrong than making an actual point of fact . May the Gammon not be with you .

[weswheel]

The mental gymnastics involved in turning this into a "there was wrong on both sides, let's just call it a draw" (as he seems to be trying to say). smh.

[robrn]

Imagine that the Labour Party had lost 4 percent of gdp. The papers would be imploding

[OneBlurryLens]

Peter walks away from this conversation still believing that ketchup is blue.
And nothing will change his mind.

[Decrepit_biker]

Peter isn't just in the New Forrest. Peter is also in DENIAL.

[powderedtoastfacekillah]

Peter is complicit in Breaking Britain

[orchidhouse]

Peter is a confused simpleton who thinks he understands more than he does. He doesn't have any idea how little he knows, or how to apply the little knowledge he has.

[chrissanders]

The toxicity is strong in this one lord Vader.

[YellaChickenOG]

Caller: "Here's some things you said that turned out to be untrue"

*Proceeds to lay out things that were never actually said but if they were said would also have been true*

[michaelclayton]

We lost 90% of our export business in our small SME due directly to brexit.

[jl-xsud]

"the toxicity is gone" then spends ten minutes being toxic 😂😂😂 I hope the caller hears himself

[scousertommy]

What are the odds that this caller is a 60+ old gammon??
