There needs to be Criminal charges against the government in regards to the blood scandal.
@vickie Which government?
@@chatham43 I guess the government that finally let the daylight shine on it, is off the hook. The government who first covered it up should be in jail. I for one think that those who make mistakes should not be punished if they are honest about them, but those who get caught hiding mistakes, should be punishme harshly. We dont want people afraid of revealing their mistakes, so that we fix them more quickly.

@@chatham43Which one do you think? Oh, that's right, you DON'T think at all.
Gold star racism thats what this country is amazing at !
The Tories should be charged under their own legislation of running down and undermining the UK.
That right?
Well right!! @@jeffsimon9594
Most of the Tories wanted to stay in the EU though. It was the voters who decided to leave.
@@Samuel-hd3cp They are all enthusiastic Brexiteers now , though, and with a vengeance
British and American and European countries don't know the truth and Russia economy is growing and Russia medical and dental and Putin protect family values and programs for children and and stores and food are cheaper and Russia control grains and minerals and oil and gas and eupeon countries buying India oil and gas Russia sell oil and gas to India and Russia and China has most of Latin American countries and Africa countries with trade and China doesn't need Europe and America and Boris Johnson stop the peace talks years ago
Ratcliffe and Dyson knew exactly what was going to happen which why both moved their businesses abroad. It also allowed them non dom status.
Dyson first fleeced the shareholders by running the company into the ground , buying it cheap and then taking it private bang became profitable again. We should not have listened to them😩😩😩
Racism is expensive 😅😅😅
Martin Luther King Jr. said that it would destroy the USA. That is underway. But who would have thought you lot would go first?
@James O'Brien The UK won't get a Swiss-style deal as the EU regret the deal they gave the Swiss and are unlikely to do it again (it was given because of Switzerlands location at the heart of the European States in the EU. The UK is on the periphery now both economically, politically, and geographically.
Go to France then doctor no

@@christopherday1568 WE CAN'T LEAVE ANYMORE YOU SPONGE YOU VOTED TO TRAP US HERE!
After working in the EU and I always knew it was a huge mistake to begin to set separate technical, safety and trading standards.
In 2014 Scots born in Scotland voted in majority for our independence, the vote to remain in the UK was carried due to the amount of non Scots voting to remain in the UK. Scotlands share of this £5 billion loss is approximately £500 million. The UK media continues unabated its incessant hounding and villification of Scotland's need to regain our independence despite all the evidence pointing to the status quo being to Scotland's long term detriment. The UK vote rolled out their Project Fear at every opportunity and they led us here with it. Scotland will leave the UK eventually but not until great and long lasting damage has been brought down upon us all.
The country is excellent at failing .....gold star ⭐
@pop And a gold star for packing your bags and leaving. Much appreciated!
@@chatham43the standard answer when things are called into question 😂 if you don't like it....
@@chatham43 We can't leave anymore, remember Brexit? You probably voted for it too. Well that means we can't go anywhere in the EU like we used to. You sponge
Africa countries and Latin America countries doesn't trust the criminals American and they trust Russia and China
Funnily enough, the whole point of the single market was to make it cheaper for countries to conduct business between themselves, to avoid costs like, for example, of duplicating checks between countries trading with each other, which costs about £5billion.
James! I wish you wouldn't use expletives on your show, you mentioned Susan Hall at least 3 times in two sentences😂
Makes a change from Jeremy corbyn who lives rent free in his head.
One of the most horrific aspects reported about community police (truant officers) bursting into homes is children being told that if they don't go to school their parents will go to jail.
Here in the USA, the homeless are mocked and blamed, mostly by the right. That’s how we handle the problem, but I don’t recommend it. Not very effective at all.
A "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, slacker" mentality. But that's those pro-life, compassionate conservatives for you. Tens of millions of Republicun*s who will be voting in record numbers for an authoritarian grifter named Donald Trump.
Jim probably shorted the pound and made a fortune from Brexit so much for loyalty to the country a true patriot. 😩😩😩
O’Brien - The man with the truth!!
Regarding farming.. All you have to do is look across the pond.. our “special relationship” overlords killed their farming industry years ago so consolidation can happen.. we will end up with our chlorinated chickens soon enough
I can second that.
Corporatizing and making everything money driven is an American tradition.
You can't even breathe without being charged a few dollars.
Poor areas here don't even have clean water.
There's already women begging using a baby as a sympathy prop.
The last thing we need now is actual children wiping your windshield for a few dollars.
We are getting there.
It's very third world.
Question since Britain is deporting all migrant legal and illegal when is sunak going to be deported.
Money is held to different standards.
Is there anything in this country that works for normal people? (apart from the rich with their snouts in the trough)
In 2018 Israeli soldiers shot over 6,000 Palestinians. In many cases they were shot with illegal expanding ammunition. So, did the present iteration of this problem begin on 7th October 2023 (1,200 casualties) or March/Dec 2018 (6,000 casualties) Discus ??
@brian Since you've been posting this comment...nothing has changed would you believe!😊
Back in 2009, Gerald Kaufman MP gave a speech citing the behavior of Israel to the inhabitants of Gaza similar to that of the Nazis. Yes, he used that word.
@@chatham43
I do hold onto the hope that things will change. My wife and adopted daughter are Palestinian and I've worked several times in Gaza. I've seen the Israeli cruelty and been beaten by IDF soldiers for driving an ambulance.
@@Mounhas and he is correct and I sad that 17 yrs before him and I still stand my that believe
@@user-ux2vv9qx2i Bad things happen then get resolved. However in the case of the Palestinians & Palestine it has been going on my entire lifetime, Israel has got away with its abuse endlessly.
And they say THEY WANT GROWTH??? (In their DREAMS)
Poverty level was 7,8% before the referendum, today 22% of the population lives under the poverty line. GDP is still not at the level of 2019. The cost of living is more than 20% higher than in 2019. The national debt is today 2,8 trillion, 2019 it was 1,8 trillion. BREXIT is a total disaster and it will get wurse.
The final irony being that the company being paid the £5 bn is FRENCH
My at the time 68 year old mum told me she was voting leave for my children and I begged her not to. We argued daily over it and it came to a point where I told her... "A vote to leave and votes for Tories, are a sure way to put a million families into poverty!" She called me an idiot. If only she was still alive to say "I told you so" but she would probably still be reading the daily mail and telling me how great it is to be a free, of EU, British person. Oh and how civil servants shouldn't wear rainbow lanyards!!! Boycott the Daily Mail and once that's dead, boycott the rest of the lie peddlers.
Easy to blame Brexit. All countries are going through harder times than the UK. Your mum had a vision that was never really implemented but betrayed by the bigger global order
BadEnoch is insane or thick, both presumably.
You misspelled Diane Abbott
@@jeffsimon9594 you misspelled Liz Truss
Definitely both. She's a Tory it goes without saying.
One way that will change will be as things get more and more expensive and wages can't keep up with the costs. There are shortages already in supermarkets even before the implementation of the border checks into full swing.
I have the same anxiety. It’s a consequence of growing up poor
What amazes me is the amount of hope so many have in Starmer's crowd, always forgetting Starmer's crowd are politicians just like the Tories
We in Sweden have outside dining since forever, only the weather limit it (not by rules but by customer)
Best politics show imo
Very low standards
Far left channel
@@Paragon62oh yes, forgot Bojo's sister was far left. As is Ferrari. Oh and Feltz, she's hard left too.
You absolute 🛎 🔚.
How is it 'far' left exactly?
Can you even define far left?
@@Paragon62 Actually it's a very right leaning channel with 80% of content being right wing leaning.
James and Carol are sensible brain using presenters which I suppose makes you left wing.
What makes you think the EU will agree to let the UK back?
I am reminded of Hanlon's Razor, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." I feel that for the UK government this should be adjusted to "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by self-interest. "

This will end, or begin to end, with either large numbers of people in the streets, or six feet under the ground (if they bother to bury them at all...)
I think we need an investigation/ public inquiry into Brexit. Why it happened, who was involved, who was funded and how much were they given, for what reason, the propaganda campaign and also how this is connected to the Russia Report Boris refused to release.
Need an inquiry why the eu is corrupt!!!!!
@@Paragon62do you blame the EU for- the infected blood scandal, PO Horizon, Hillsborough, Energy prices, Mortgage bills etc etc?.......
@@Paragon62 we don’t actually. We need an inquiry into Brexit.
@@Paragon62None of your business anymore, pal.
@@Paragon62 You won, get over it!
You should have looked back to see why you joined in the first place. I remember and I am not surprised at all. And it will get worse. Briton will rejoin the EU. It is not the Empire it was.
In 2005 the Canadian Gov. settled the final conclusion to the tainted blood scandal here in this country. In 1998 the Gov. paid out 120k per person,and the province paid out 30k per year until death. The Supreme Court said the crimes were committed,the RCMP investigated for 5years and charges were laid although later dropped, people were fired and disgraced. The Red Cross that was the blood service was dismantled,and a new Canadian Blood Services. 10billion dollars later and worse the number of people who became sick and died is the worse health scandal in our history. People should get tested for sure, your numbers seem small compared to ours,and your population was much larger than ours back then.
Do you lot actually think the EU are actually going to let you lot back in without the full Monty including the Euro? I wouldn't
The Euro won't be a requirement, you only have to look at Sweden. A country that has been in the EU since 1995 and has chosen to NOT adopt the Euro, a position that is approved by a decision of the ECJ.
There is no evidence that joining Schengen will be a requirement, particularly if the Republic of Ireland continues to stay out of Schengen. A position taken with the UK because of their joint membership of the Common Travel Area.
Yes. the hard won rebates won by Margaret Thatcher are gone forever. But there will be aid and support from the EU for the poorest areas of the UK&NI as there were before we left the EU but on a greater scale because of the slide down the economic hill that the UK&NI is on.
You lot? Who are "You lot?"
Sweden joined before Euro was a thing. It doesn't really disprove the idea that joining would probably force the euro. @@grahamepigney8565
I feel you there in the UK.
If it is any consolation, you may not be number one with homelessness.
My country, the USA, does not accurately report everything.
It's just a sad reality.
They don't count people living in their vehicles, for example. And in the USA, it's practically an accepted lifestyle.
So you may not be number one.
Secondly, we have a far worse system here similar to your woes.
They charge you more money to get out of homelessness.
And cities now make it hard for you to even exist.
They target people living in cars.
They take away your tent.
It's cruel.
You have so little and then they take your tent and belongings.
Once you are in there, it's impossible to get out.
We definitely exceed at f-ing things up
I don’t believe there is recourse unless there is a change of government
Honestly? I don't think the EU will consider taking us back in after the trauma of the past 8 years. Labour, even if they get power, won't touch it, too time consuming and divisive. Sadly, I can't see a reversal in the near future. Some idiot has posted "we won so get over it". Probably a video game enthusiast.
Unfortunately Labour treat Brexit like the plague... they won't go near it.
were they ignorant or just plain liars? all the bad was predicted.
The UK people compare themselves to their past. All of Europe is going thro more hardship than the UK. Things could have been worse for them remaining.
Besides, the brexit brexiteers voted for was never really fully delivered
I voted to remain
I'm hoping they require him to stay in NY jurisdiction during house arrest. In Trump Tower😅
ARREST THOSE RESPONSIBLE
FOR NEGLECTING THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING BRITISH
BLOOD 🩸
SCANDAL
The snowball ends with your enslavement. The Plutocrats of Athens secretly supported the Spartans during their wars.
You always get what you voted for. If you voted for Brexit be proud, you stopped immigration at the cost of 5 billion pounds and rising. 😂😂😂
Except... it hasn't stopped, its actually got worse. The only winners are those that Brexit has no impact on... the wealthy.
James would you ever let the caller talk
Can we officially change tge Cobra Effect to the Brexit Effect
Pavement dining? Tell me I'm wrong, but I seem to remember Al Fresco dining being all but a defining feature of european leisure time? This is some kind of irony that passed me by, right?
So checks were unnecessary on a common sense basis in the EU era but suddenly are indispensable. Meh.
Abolish monarchy! Get rid of the caste systeme in UK!!
No, please no.
That's what makes you people so cute and quaint
Dumbest comment award goes to....
Well the queen is dead so yeah why not? Most of the culture benefits of the monarchy died with her... which is unfortunate.

It's amazing to think many business owners VOTED for BREXIT- either they're not as SMART as we think they are, so they did not understand what they voted for or they don't give a ***k about about the rest of the people in this Country! (JIM RATCLIFFE, MONACO residence) in 2021 he officially changed his tax residence from Hampshire to Monaco, estimated to save him over £4 billion in tax.
Can someone, somewhere corner David Davis and find out why he talked about German car Deals in Berlin. There are not many options.
If he thought it could be done, then as our chief negotiator he was so out of his depth he was in the Mariana Trench.
If he was competent as a negotiator then he was lying or making one of the dumbest 'jokes' ever to grace the lips of morons.
And then he was knighted.
I think it's because the Brexiteers thought that upon the UK voting to leave the EU would dismantle, because the German car industry etc. would force the hand of their governments to disobey the EU Commission and would give the UK its cake and let it have and eat it at the same time out of despair.
There was a 1200-page fantasy sorry policy paper on this apparently, but I've not been able to find it. However, you can read their fantasies in Daniel Hannan's article on Reaction "What Britain looks like after Brexit". It's really entertaining 😂
Voting for economic self harm
I now only listen to independent media podcasts
Waaaahh
Project far left echo chamber
Why go on and on about brexit, as it would take years and years to get back in. See iain Dale your mate at the LBC at 7pm or what about rishi sunak both ardent leavers

Rainbow lanyards. Ludicrous
Rainbow lanyards is about rejecting the political ideologies that are diversity and equality.
POOR JAMES STILL MAUNDERING ON WITH HIS PROPAGANDA DRIVEL
Stop talking about "alignment". Nobody cares about alignment, certainly not the EU. What the EU cares are binding and enforceable rules and regulations. Lets say Starmer will do alignment, so what, after 5 years the Tory win again and break the alignment. Now what? How can the EU enforce that the UK won't break the alignment in the next 25 years? It can only do that with a binding and enforceable legal document and with the supremacy of the ECJ. Turkey is in the Customs Union with the EU for 29 years already.
Whats the phone in ?
Haven't got a clue .. Brilliant James
He hasn’t got a clue about a lot of things
Same as eu
Nick in Winchester hit the nail on its head.
The question about Brexit and rejoining the EU won't happen until after the General Election, it is a toxic topic that none of the parties want to be part of a General Election debate.
The polls have to be clearly in favour of rejoining just as there was in 1975.
Do you honestly think the Europeans would let us rejoin after all the grief we've caused them? If they do what's to stop a future Tory party having another effing referendum. I think the Europeans are already over us leaving their club and won't be inviting us back anytime soon.😂
@@andrewelder8212 it is clear that most EU nations would welcome the UKback into the EU. Not on the same preferential terms gained by Margaret Thatcher but welcomed none the less.
The future is always uncertain but the present isn't certain either particularly a present where the EU is missing one of Europe's major players.
@@grahamepigney8565
You are entitled to your opinion but it's certainly not clear to me that they would welcome us back as a full member. A Norway deal is a possibility because it's relatively easy to do and undo. After 8 years we still haven't completed the process of Brexit, so imo it's not likely to happen in the near or distant future. We mustn't just assume that we will be welcomed with open arms anytime we want to rejoin. All 27 countries will have to agree to any deal and I have a feeling the French will say 'non' again.
@@andrewelder8212 living in France and listening to French politics there is no indication that the French would say Non, that was a very DeGaulle stance heavily influenced by the bad relations between the UK & France towards the end of WWII.
There is no assumption that the UK would be welcomed with open arms and certainly things like the rebate negotiated by Margaret Thatcher would not be on the table.
I doubt that the sort of deal that Norway, Icelend and Lichtenstein, or for that matter the sort of deal Switzerland has, would be acceptable to the UK or its population as those countries are rule-takers not rule-makers.
Our club.
Our rules.
Get over it.
Bye bye brexitannia.

Huh?
Saddo...
Not everyone in the UK has the same opinion as James O'brien.
Any benefits yet?
Well pur country is ranked 4th above France, Holland, Belgium in exports so something is working
Vote labour.... it couldnt be any worse then the Tories.... hopefull a lot better..😒
Hope is worthless without manifesto promises. Be careful belief in Starmer as ideally being not as bad as the Tories doesn't blind you to just what Starmer could in fact be.
Are you still crying about the 1992 election result?
They're celebrating how wrong their Great Leader Margaret Thatcher was!
Still on about brexit get over it.
Still suffering the damage of Brexit.
The discussion of that damage will end, when the damage ends.
You won, can you tell us what we won? I can tell you what we lost!
What a muppet
James would marry himself if he could
Congrats - that would land you in Idiots Corner if there was an online version.
Dennis less no idea
Brexit wasn't as bad as James said, we are all still alive. Brexit would have been a success but James amd the anti growth coalition stood in the way with their negatively
Could you enlighten me, a EU resident, on what the anti growth coalition consists of? Are those, for instance, the small British business owners who saw their export growth stunted and worse by all the roadblocks that they were confronted with after Brexit?
@@ottonormalverbrauch3794 anti growth coalition is those who opposed brexit, environmental campaigners and don't want it to be successful. Brexit would have been great if politician had got behind it
