James O'Brien's epic clash with caller who'll vote for Boris whatever he does as PM

James O'Brien rowed with this caller who insisted he would vote for Boris Johnson whatever he says or does.

James was discussing the government's U-turn over immigration, choosing a much more liberal path with their points-based immigration system.

Gary from Grays called in - and admitted he had no problem with the Prime Minister lying and said he would vote for him again regardless of whether he does what he said he would do.

Gary said: "You're knocking Boris, you're knocking the Conservatives. But it's the left that's at fault. If the Labour Party wasn't so poor... they're not offering anything for anyone to vote for."

Politics should be introduced into the national curriculum to protect callers like these from utter humiliation.

[martingoodrich]

People like this caller are so ill informed and there are so many people like him. It's no wonder our country is in such a state.

[katakisLives]

to me corbyns renationalization was one of his biggest selling points! ever since it was all privatized we've been ripped off more and more every year

[ahmedt]

The argument that 'I voted for Boris because I had no other alternative' is ridiculous. Most of these people hadn't voted in their lives before the referendum and now presented with the biggest liar for PM we've ever had they vote for him instead of exercising their right not to vote at all because...you know...'I had to'. Just ridiculous!

Still have to laugh at all the muppets who didn't like Corbyn, James being one of them. But we're all human, we make mistakes sometimes. Those who recognise their mistakes, and grow from them, shouldn't be mocked. Those who double down, and refuse to admit they were wrong, should be mocked.

[Baddaification]

People only lie to themselves. win/win

[theintervention]

Labour *ARE* offering something - just obviously not what he likes.

[helloworld]

Are all you James haters listening to your guy?

[Ironsmiler]

Anyone who mentions "the right" or "the left" should be immediately ignored, and preferably flogged.

[stuartstone]

I think he actually got to the bottom of the reason why Boris gets away with it with this caller right at the end, the word personality kept popping up

[bewilderedbrit]

I hate the Tories but I will keep voting for them just to spite James O'Brien.

[straintheory]

Teach critical thinking as a core subject now ffs 🤦🏼‍♂️

[teterouge]

Privatisation of our national utilities and transport was the best con trick ever!. My dad made a few hundred quid, one year, then the rich get together with the expensive and hey, rich get richer, poor get poorer.... Same game forever

[troywright]

He's sitting there rubbing his hands, he's loving it

[thecarpetman]

You can tell that most of the people who ring into this show are of limited intelligence

[JenandTonic]

When there's a fire in London, you don't question why the fire brigade in Edinburgh didn't turn up

[RugbyLeagueisbest]

Like Mr O'Briens style. He challanges assumptions and asks for evidence to support comments in lots of areas. Most "experts" who phone cannot do that, it's all bluster, hot air and ignorance. If he asked some what 1 + 1 equalled they would struggle as, I would suggest, would some posting on this topic. OPEN YOUR MINDS!!!

[MalakianMS]

"They" believe in dogma, but my leaders can lie me all they want I'd vote for them in a heart beat. The sheer weight of the irony could crush this muppet.

[transponderful]

Here is a whopper of ONE lie, for you James. "We will carry out the result of the EU referendum". I don't think i even need to listen to what Labour say about anything. After that huge fib

[davidlumb]

Still having a mental breakdown O'Brien, fetch the van lads
