James O'Brien shuts down “dangerous” caller who refuses to quarantine after her holidays | LBC

This caller has four holidays planned and she will not be quarantining after any of them and James O'Brien told her that position was "stupid" and "profoundly dangerous".

Croatia and Greece are the latest countries reported to be on the verge of being removed from the "travel corridor" list, meaning anyone returning from holidays there would have to quarantine for two weeks.

That would hit hundreds of thousands of Brits currently there, leaving them unable to go back to work and school.

James was asking people for their stories of quarantining - how many are taking it very seriously.

But he wasn't expecting a call from Jennifer. She's got four holidays booked, including a cruise around Spain. And she insisted she would not quarantine because the risk of Covid has been exaggerated.

James told her: "This isn't funny any more. This is really irresponsible, please take more care of yourself and your husband.

"Even if you don't care about anybody else, other people care about you."

She’s having more holidays in a 6 month period than I’ve had in 6 years 🤦🏻‍♂️

[christianmccann]

This woman sounds so selfish like a spoiled child ..

This gentleman had just shown up on my recommended list and I can’t get enough of him. If only we had more people here in the United States that were like this.

[davec-]

Oh poor girl, what terrible sacrifices she’s had to make!

Going on holiday during a pandemic is the absolute definition of entitlement

[dotdotscottschott]

Where has James been my whole life I love how he shuts people down right and left

[DimitriNakos]

This was recommended to me and I'm not disappointed. As an American it would be nice to have people with such patience.

Can we bring back segregation?
Deniers, anti-vaxxers, "it's a hoax", etc, on cargo planes. People that care about the health of others and themselves on commercial flights with bonus miles added.

"I'LL TELL THE POLICE"

"EY! WHAT!"

[jeromebaker]

This shows that there are people in the world who could care less about other people!

Moor a quarantine ship in the Channel and tell her she's going on a cruise. Problem solved.

[Fletch_]

Awwww poor thing must be awful for her, people going hungry, losing jobs, people's family passing away day after day and she's losing her holidays this year 🙄 Give me

[davidpearn]

Jennifer just telling the world how many holidays she's going to have.

[birdog]

"Please have a little think" is my new favorite request for the non-thinkers in my life.

[MrSmith-zdej]

Just imagine how many more people out here, think just like her

[jimledjl]

In a couple of years we will be having documentaries with people sobbing their hearts out to camera, because it was their fault they lost a loved one due to such selfish ignorance.

American here:
Respectfully, could we borrow you for say, how ever many months it takes for people here to realize what respectful common sense conversation sounds like?
Asking for other Americans as well 🙏🏻.

I must say it's optimistic for James to hope a Covidiot has "a little think".
