Imagine if the defendant was an anti-woke, anti-liberal type who knows who you are and hates you. Then he looks up at the jury and sees your shit-eating grin presiding over his judgement. 🤣
Can you make clear to British people that Liz Truss , Nigel Farage and Reform
Want Trump/Musk oligarchy in the UK ! They want Project 2025! Sovereignty from EU, replaced by slavery to America Federalist Society Christian Nationalism ? Both are funded by this society as is Tufton St
Yes to all of the above . And let me say - fear is real and beginning to spread . But Reformers will double down. Now isn’t the time to turn on Starmer it’s time to rally behind your local govt and keep NF out of power. He needs way less BBC time too.
The BBC give Nigel more air time then most politicians. Left wing the BBC is not! UK media is owned by 5 men who pay taxes abroad, or live abroad. Hardly woke media as they claim. They want Victorian England back it seems.
They live in a non evolving mindset and want us all stuck there with them enabling their offshore lives.True historians know that way is total bull - but here we are.
Trump mentioned the issue of Ukraine elections and Zelensky's ratings. And even whether Ukrainians will eventually be Russians. Forget land - is the US going to deal away sovereignty and insist on localised elections to allow a puppet Kremlin friendly regime. But what can we do? Men making deals.
Can you get Lewis a weekday slot, replacing Ferrari perhaps? A daytime schedule of Lewis, yourself, Shelagh and Tom Swarbrick would be the whole day sorted. The breakfast slot is the only one I avoid at the moment, for obvious reasons.
It's been very quiet in your absence James, no major world order upsets or mad despots upending the Monopoly board of normality - just because they can 😬
#MysteryHour comme d'habitude, I trust?
"Thank you Nick. As many of you know, I was on jury service the last few days, and it's made me think of one question to put to you - Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain? Brave Hungarian peasant girl who..."
In Ireland journalists are routinely eliminated at the selection stage for jury panels. I've known a few who have said this to me. Maybe on the basis that they are compulsive researchers and maybe too opinionated? I'm not sure. But I thought it would be the same in the UK.
T'other James, @lewisgoodall.com, did a great job filling in for you. Hope this continues if you are off again (rather than the other alternatives who I can't bear to mention)
Enjoying the show from Melbourne Australia now. Surely the USA will realise that the world allowed the USA to lead the world in exchange for protection from the bastards. If they become one of the bastards, then it's see ya later
It is imperative that @Eddavey appears on every media outlet, talking sense, while the lunacy emanating from the White House continues. (Meaning he could be very busy for the next four years!)
Wish I could post a few sound bites from this mornings monologue to FB. Received this reply from someone I went to school with back in the US after I posted Ian Birrell’s tweet. Like my compatriot you had on first thing this morning, I don’t have high hopes of Americans rising up against this.
Following your Jury Service would it be a good time to discuss why Trump is so deluded that he seems to think that he’s been elected as the World Leader?
Nick Ferrari - “In September 2019, Ferrari said, after a visit to Israel, "I'd been given an insight into a country that I've always admired and I now revered
BUGGER!
Jury service was it James? I had a wager with a mate of mine, also a regular listener, that your sudden absence was down to Mrs O'Brien imminently delivering O'Brien Jr.
Ah well, another large one I owe him
If you want to talk about Munich - Friday meeting USA and Russia about Ukraine. I am sure you are aware of the place significant place in history for Czechoslovakia in 1938. We call it as Munich Betrayal.
I doubt Trump picked the place coincidentally.
He has his moments though, the Tory mayoral candidate's 'mugging' was a definite highlight. Unfortunately he and Iain Dale are pretty staunch in their views, nothing's going to change there.
Weird. I start jury service for the first time next Monday. Out of interest, James, how long were you on a jury for? Without breaking confidences, what kind of case were you on?
Looking forward to it James . I’m not as traumatised by your absence and replacements as I was last time as Lewis did a great job: balanced, fair, highly informed and sensitive to the callers.
Whatever decisions you and your peers on the Jury came to... It was Starmer who set the guilty free / jailed the innocent. I'm reliably informed by the Mail that's how it works. Not the judge, not the jury, it was Starmer what done it.

Car parking charges?
For those of us who remember Juke Box Jury.

Btw LG has done a great job sitting in for you❤️
Please tell me it was the female footballer case. I know it was kingston cc, so there's a good chance?
I wouldn't be surprised, celebrity accused, celebrity jury. Who else was there? And was it overseen by judge Judy?
More importantly, did you have to complain, as I did?

Built on the outskirts of villages to eventually become large towns.
The apartheid must have really touched his heart
Welcome back!

"Will the defendent please refrain from waving at the jury"
I doubt Trump picked the place coincidentally.
Is it Farridge?
It’s never going to happen but the image it conjures up is satisfying.
One was charged, and the other let off.
Glad you’re back 😊
