The brexiters aren’t the conned anymore they are the wilfully ignorant and pointfully racist now.

The damage has been proved and if they continue to blame immigrants then they will never be satisfied until the UK has Farage mirroring the USA ICE agents in the UK

Time to bring out fag ash & the man who combs his hair with a balloon. They’ll put you in your place 😂

2016 Brexit - fisherman: “We’ve been lied to and betrayed and export costs will cripple us”.

2025 New Deal which scraps export costs - fisherman: “We’ve been betrayed and lied to again”.

The entire U.K. fishing industry contributes less to the economy than Harrods Department Store.

Loved the show sir all days. Stuff of legends today. Thank you. Tried the line of “if you don’t tell me how you feel, I will keep talking” with my wife. She walked out of the room and I am in the bedroom talking to myself 😩

badgaboy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hated brexit but as the fishing industry in Scotland is the biggest and its Scottish seas the fleets use why were the Scottish devolved goverment not consulted.Brexit was a disater and needs reversed but that was a mistake.

pugg1ey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Imo Richard voted for Brexit because he doesn't like brown people. Knew he couldn't say that on live radio so just pleaded the fifth. Unfortunately there are many like him.

moniquefromeire.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's all getting rather boring, not to mention tiresome now, isn't it!? Seriously.

pete-w.bsky.social•4 days ago

The betrayal was perpetrated by Johnson, Farage et al and their deceitful, client media. Their lies, ludicrous promises and hateful rhetoric conned a nation of turkeys into voting for Christmas. The UK has suffered enough for their self-serving, ideological dishonesty. It’s time to move forward.

javiergarcia.bsky.social•4 days ago

Richard says hello...

I think 🤷‍♂️

Knowing me James O'Brien; knowing you Brexit betrayal... AH HA!!!!!!! I've been expecting you... xOl :)

I thought the British journalists were dreadful at the Q&A session.

Are we talking Firefly quote here?

daveev5y10.bsky.social•4 days ago

What about my fish and chips? This betrayal will be the end of everything we hold dear, even if I don't know what it is. And what about the straight bananas 🧐

bledwhite.bsky.social•4 days ago

Richard couldn’t have been a more perfect example. For “conned” read “deluded”. What a self-own.

michaelballard.bsky.social•4 days ago

Great and very needed show today!

Brexit is just a racist cult who will never stop repeating the same hate memes.

“ The conned “ deserve no compassion.

They wanted to be conned.

Someone decides to have a party in your flat, pukes everywhere, doesn't apologise, then whinges that the cleaners aren't doing a good enough job.

Where's your white cat?

john1000uk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Iain Dale just said 'he knew exactly what he was voting for and what would happen' brexit wise. About time you asked him then exactly what he was voting for. As the rest of us don't know.

acewiz8.bsky.social•4 days ago

“…do you expect me to talk?”

alyssacreates.bsky.social•4 days ago

Have only just gotten the chance to listen back to this & it occurred to me, if Richard was so passionate & had strong opinions about brexit, in between the vote 9 YEARS AGO & ringing in a phone in admitting they know nothing, isn't that enough time to do a bit of research & become that expert. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

eanjay.bsky.social•4 days ago

I listen on Global player, but I checked and this link doesn’t work for me…!

akajuhlz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Richard "ignorance is bliss" from Kent would make a right-solid MAGA puppet.

bobmedley.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Mail/Telegraph/Sun/Express etc were never going to call it anything other than a 'Brexit betrayal', regardless of the content of the deal. It's not about objective journalism. The aim of such headlines is to appeal to their declining but dogmatic readership.

ninagallety.bsky.social•4 days ago

So predictable. And garbage.

agr25.bsky.social•4 days ago

James definitely deserves his props. Aint no broadcaster in the country done more to expose the corruption and the con artists in this whole Brexit saga.

rault123.bsky.social•4 days ago

They would rather no food on the shelves than do any deal, Scotland voted no, this is about the whole of the UK. Are they telling us the shelves are still full, was brexit good, has it proven anything. I can’t see it yet, and it’s been a while

johnwestjaws.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sadly, I am abroad and will miss your show tomorrow.

I look forward to the "orange ball chewing gimp" special episode of playback, though.

jonathan1949.bsky.social•4 days ago

Excellent intro, best rant for a while.

krc1950.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m told the bloke who rang in with very strong views but no facts and figures is known locally as DICK

erdgas44.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tuesdays mornings show was up there with the best. I love the monologues setting the story-and your interviewing technique with difficult callers is amazing.
BUT was Richard a plant, perhaps to show the stupidy of BREXIT?
It just shows what 20yrs of DailyM propaganda can do to the brain

grahameb71.bsky.social•4 days ago

Very interesting piece on talking as persuasion, and how it works (or doesn’t).

A real brexiteer chooses the ‘patriot line’ on EU airports😂

lila7.bsky.social•4 days ago

A special desk for Brexiters.

You can imagine how well that would be staffed.

davidpeacock40.bsky.social•4 days ago

Brexit betrayed the UK in 2016, anyone who is still in favour of it only deserves contempt

mike20000.bsky.social•4 days ago

How dare Labour try and claw something back from the Tory clusterf@ck of Brexit.

judithfairbairn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Super show on Monday about Brexit (callers were awesome) @explaintrade.com explained the new trade deal so clearly

Nice though that Bodge J has an opportunity to disinter his leaden prose and delude himself about a second run.

th3oasis.bsky.social•4 days ago

If someone thinks more efficient borders is "betraying Brexit" they can relive the best of Brexit by standing in a corner for 2 hours with other quitters.

No one is forcing them to spend less time in an airport.

The figures for “wrong to leave” would be even higher today.

The Bregshitters in meltdown is such fun.

imissnormal.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Brexit Betrayal where Farage repeatedly suggested we could do a Norway?

Yes I remember it far better than any Labour politician

monkeyplantation.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh him, the traitor who represented the UK fishing industry on the EU fisheries committee and never once made a stand for the UKs interests

tony227.bsky.social•4 days ago

I do believe he never once went to a fisheries meeting!!

rearlamp.bsky.social•4 days ago

1 of 42 meetings.
Second worst voting record in 2016

monkeyplantation.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hope media reminds him of this now he’s back on the soap box saying Starmer has destroyed the fishing industry! @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

tony227.bsky.social•4 days ago

Me too! But they won’t. The media never, ever, holds him to account for anything.

southernconetravel.bsky.social•4 days ago

Farage loves Quisling.

bexbitchley.bsky.social•4 days ago

I played my 21yo, Richards call. My 21yo now doesn't think old people should be allowed to vote.

cobblecamat26.bsky.social•4 days ago

I envy your sanity.

eggshen71.bsky.social•4 days ago

Great show today. Especially the takedown and fadeout which tickled me no end! 👏👏

westjs.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have to agree, especially the fadeout, had me in stitches

simon.posts.dog•4 days ago

10:40 ish. Was astonishing!

eggshen71.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's right. Eloquent, full throttle, brutal. Absolutely brilliant.

n1ckyj.bsky.social•4 days ago

Me too

trautmans.bsky.social•4 days ago

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the irony of the man who opposed Brexit, delivering the Brexit deal that actually makes sense 🤣

adlemm.bsky.social•4 days ago

The guy who called in defend Brexit absolutely blew my mind… “I have very strong opinions about things I don’t know anything about because I’m not an expert” a CIA blacksite torturer wouldn’t be able to get me to admit that in public, let alone on a national radio program 😂

Isn’t it always ever since Elon took over?

kjordan99.bsky.social•4 days ago

I love it how the brexiters are losing their shit over making trade deals that they said should be made. I bet reform would not reverse any of these.

dennisobell.bsky.social•4 days ago

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I could live without you by my side
And after spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
Now you're back... 🎶 🎵

lila7.bsky.social•4 days ago

Who did us wrong?

Cameron, Johnson, Farage…

planetbelfast.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can Richard be a regulator contributor?

ukestrummer-62.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yesterday was flashback day #1! I got so enmeshed in the original Brexit debate that I swore I wouldn't let another issue get to me like that again, yet here I go again. I think this reset is long overdue obviously, but the audacity of previous Brexiteer MPs talking about betrayal is gobsmacked!

ukestrummer-62.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also, is Smirky Patel trying to break some sort of record for irony on an interplanetary scale? 😁

frenchbill.bsky.social•4 days ago

Brilliant session today !
