James O'Brien dismantles 'far-right sympathiser' amid riots | LBC

In a back-and-forth call, James O'Brien dissects caller Aaron's defence of far-right leaders and his reasoning behind the recent riots in the UK.

Despite riots spreading across the UK last week and continuing to affect more areas, Aaron remains adamant that far-right leaders are not 'inciting violence.'

In response, James questions why falsehoods were spread about the religion of the Southport killer and why so many misleading narratives about the impact of migrants have been perpetuated.

'You were wrong about immigration, you were wrong about incitement, wrong about the rioters. Everything you've said has been wrong,' James concludes.

I'm black, British, and proud. This is my country. I was born here and I'm not going anywhere.

[leanner.]

Never ever call James if you’re not totally and absolutely clued up on the subject matter 😂

[brandonbarnett]

They said the internet was bad for kids but it’s actually grown ups who can’t tell the difference between propaganda and facts and logic 🤦🏼‍♂️

I’m a British Pakistani and a Muslim born and raised in the uk . I work and pay taxes all my life I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t go clubbing I respect the values of the British people .. my question to the people am I welcome to stay here?

[gregc]

So this guy is saying the rioters who were chanting; "Oh Tommy Tommy, Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson" were not inspired to riot by Tommy Robinson... what a tool!!

[Lazy_Sundae]

"Everyone did." No, we didn't. That's another lie.

[deelaw.]

This idiocy cloaked in patriotism is just getting pathetic.

[watchyawant]

This almost feels staged, it shouldn't be possible to be proven wrong on all accounts and still think you are right.

[Saumie]

Let's be honest, he doesn't want any immigrants to settle, legal or "illegal".

[evaburnz]

Wow, this caller has plunged so far deep into the rabbit hole that he is now completely unaware of his hypocrisy and lack of reasonable judgment.

[AdmiralBison]

FIGHT THE RICH, NOT EACH OTHER.

The rich 1% (and Capitalism really) are the underlying culprit to the Socio-Economic problems facing the world.

First time caller, last time caller! 😂

The UK has become an embarrassment ...UAE, Australia Malaysia, Indonesia giving travel warnings to their citizens travelling to the UK ...says alot

[Ahmad-Mounir]

As an Egyptian and Muslim, I'm so glad and grateful that honest journalists like James O'Brien exist in our planet.

[clzosod]

I’m a muslim living in UK and this is MY home.. Thank u so much James 😢

An Irishman who lives in Spain is whipping up unemployed Englishmen and sitting back at his 5 star hotel in Cyprus and laughing.

[picadosinferno]

My IQ dropped 20 points after listening to this bloke, wth is going on with these people?

[Flyingtoohardtofly]

I’m a 4th generation British Pakistani. I love this country. This is my home. I’ve never even been to Pakistan.

[brennuvargr]

What an absolute dvnce. If nobody knew who the killer was, _why_ did Tommy Robinson make a name up? "Because it was all speculation" is not an answer.

[Robmc]

Never fails to amaze me how someone becomes so certain about their opinion without a shred of any knowledge about the subject matter whatsoever
