IhwinwiniInformative and InspirationalJames and team have been a source of information and opportunity to hear varied perspectives (call ins) for years. In recent months, James has been a source of hope and a voice of reason amidst the chaos I’m seeing here in the USA. I love you, James. You’re brilliant and I feel so fortunate to be able to listen to you everyday.

Girzz090909Informative + PassionateAs a life long US citizen depressed with Trump’s reelection, I’ve been more attentive to world politics to keep myself from going insane. O’Brien brilliantly keeps me up to date with the UK. He’s a true broadcaster, something that’s become rare in my country. He knows what he’s talking about, but he has no hesitancy to wear his passion on his sleeve.

chodeseseFascist FarageThanks Mr O’Brien, I listen to you frequently great job your update really helps us to be in the know. This bitter message sends shivers down my spine. What’s with these type of hateful people openly holding such vendetta? Looks like a residual from the previous diabolical world onslaught. Are we to believe their quest to control exhibit such deadly violence, is this what the order of this era needs to declare killing innocent people? So many unanswered Q & A as if they are the boon to all living things. Freaking unbelievable is this really their agenda to put out such an aggressively open message online a fear tactics targeting helpless people who need help instead evil and danger awaits them. We already aware haven’t they secretly killed hundreds who’ve gone missing under the countries guidance? . Have Mercy Lord!

One Last OneDemocracy FailThis guy started his Friday show reminding listeners how Germans progressed toward fascism. Afterward, he proceeded to bash President Biden’s cognitive performance piecing together a few of his misstatements recklessly providing ammunition from his finger-in-the-wind analysis to fascist-lovers everywhere. This guy’s selective “evidence” a certain sign to me he himself rarely listens to Biden speaking - something I do daily; Mr. Biden’s actual performance a far cry from this guy’s sordid presentation. His excuse for hurling deceptive charges of cognitive decline toward Biden: he’d spoken days earlier about trump on the same topic. All the while neglecting to offer his listeners numerous valid critiques against the Biden special prosecutor’s report being gratuitous, unorthodox to DOJ policies, and grossly partisan on its face. Also, this guy had the temerity to excuse his own occasional malapropisms as mere slights, so I was glad to hear one of his callers inform this 50 old guy that mental decline can begin much earlier than most people think. Maybe it’ll give him food for thought, though I doubt it very much…so certain he is of himself. What is that saying about three fingers pointing back at the pointer? This guy should be ashamed of pronouncing himself a liberal when he uses clearly right wing talking points against an ally. Shameful and disgusting. Wake up, Mr. James, Brits do not represent a tenth of your cousins across the pond, but the whole. Unfollowed, won’t be back

Che BlockScaffoldingYou were being condescending . I can understand why a man who worked to 67 scaffolding in this day and age feeling uncared for and disrespected by his own nation and seeing refugees being given sympathy and any kind of support - if not a car or housing - Let’s say a leg up - having some feelings about that is valid. Instead of listening and getting to the truth of those feeling which is the general disrespect for working people - you were again condescending. The media plays on those feelings to people up about immigration. Why not allow working people to express themselves and AFTER they do say you understand they’re feeling hurt and asking how it can be resolved.

C Tierney CATimely and Insightful.So glad I found this podcast. Discovered you during your great breakdown of the vitriol against Meghan. It dismays me that the British public has vilified her. Thanks for putting the spotlight on the true issue: it wouldn’t be happening if TRF told the press to back down.

EtsehiwotThe best podcast of 2021This is more than what is going on in the UK ; James has ability to bring discussions on what matters for everyday people. Walking alone is the best discussion I heard in a long time.

Yorkshire Boy US40 year expatI really enjoy the show. Gives me insight into the state of the UK. Seems like dark money is as bad there as here and much of it is in Cyrillic if you get my drift. Need a huge blast of sunshine on the system but who has the courage or the £££ to do it?
-
