they're not "Far right" they're just not "far left"
Reform have got this one.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?! 🧐😂💀
“Far right” 😂😂😂 come on
When everythings far-right, nothing is far-right.
How Brexit Broke O'Brien's Brain - Coming soon
Poor James.
Far Right? People just want to live in THEIR COUNTRY
Who is making them leave?
@@weareallbornmad410 yet another triggered lefty
@@weareallbornmad410 Who is obsessed with overpopulating and diluting it for enrichment purposes?? You.
It's not far right it's people who have had enough of being second class citizens on own land.
Long may it continue.
The whole premise of James' initial question seems bizarre to me. Claiming that the UK is heading in the 'other direction' as if right wing nationalism isn't a growing force in the UK?
Reform UK is polling at 17% according to YouGov and growing rapidly. More than the 16% AfD got in the EU elections. Even our Labour party is now cowtowing to anti-immigrant sentiment to keep up.
Ignoring this just because Labour will win the next election seems very short-sighted. Rightwing populism isn't going anywhere in the UK.
The Tory party is also pretty far right these days
Until someone addresses the issue, it'll keep growing
Nah, you'll know when they're far right. @@Minimmalmythicist
@@Minimmalmythicist And Labour is becoming just regular right wing.
@@Khalkaraand as a consequence the Tiries have no where to go other than even harder right, which then means Reform have to go further right still. The vacuum of the Labour party on the Left is now taken up by the Greens and independents/ smaller parties.
Sad times....
If James likes immigration so much then why doesn't he move his family to West Croydon and enjoy all the benefits....c'mon revel in it or be called a hypocrite.
YOU DON'T LIKE PEOPLE FROM OVERSEA BUT WAIT DIDN'T YOU AND THE REST OF EUROPE DIDN'T INVADED MOST OF THE COUNTRIES IF NOT THAT STRIPPED MOST OF THE ASSETS JUST OLD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THE NATIONAL FRONT.
Because he aint blaming all his problems on others. Go call in the show with your strawman arguments.... I can do with a laugh
@@vajidali530 - he's spent the last 9 years blaming all our problems on Brexit -and probably intends to spend the next 50 years doing the same
So the caller doesn't really speak German, and he's not exactly there legally and at the same time complaining about illegal immigrants not speaking German! Lovely!
But he does speak German, and Germans know what kind of immigrant he's talking about. You can't just keep handwaving it all by labelling it "racism" and trying to move on. Europeans have had that for long enough and look where it's gotten them...
@@darkfeign "ein bisschen" is pretty much officially saying "I don't really speak German". He represents exactly what he is complaining about or trying to defend, the only difference is, he is English so it doesn't count some how. I didn't label anything "racism" but you can call it whatever you want.
And you know what, it probably took him that long to get a job because the UK is not an EU state. It's the same exact problem!
35:00 this sounds awful similar to "hard times create hard men". I don't think people need to go through war and atrocities to understand the value of fighting for freedom and justice, but education about the fight for freedom and justice, as well as teaching empathy, is desperately needed from birth. If we aren't taught to critically think, empathize, and grow, we become susceptible to forces that thrive off ignorance, hate, and irrational fear.
critically think like the BBC fake news programme hosted by someone who was not entirely truthful on their CV. Or the arrival exposing fake news of a twitter account that has the name Parody inits title
Well that call was completely nonsensical in claiming that Germans don't identify with their system of government compared to other countries like Britain. It also totally missed the point that Britain identifying with itself lead to the Brexit on the same grounds as AFD rhetoric just with the difference, that Brexit got a majority percentage of the vote and the AFD got 16% in Germany.
Why does the ruling class feel the need to fight for freedom if they are already at liberty? Fre-Edom from what exactly?
@Forget-me-not144 Why would you fight for your life when you have a life?... that question is just as "profound" (sarcasm) as yours.
It's very simple. The vast majority of those in Britain and the EU want a reduction in immigration. The mainstream political parties have promised for over a decade to reduce said immigration. Immigration has increased and this has left voters with no other option than to turn to the right.
The mainstream parties have no intention of stopping our replacements.
tell that to jimmy his one ear is not working
@@deadcert He accepted that was the reason and then continued to be puzzled by it. The only reason I continue to listen to his show is because I liked to be annoyed.
So, racism.
@@weareallbornmad410 durka, durka!
They are not turning far right, they are turning to commen sense, and if you can't see that, then there is no hope for you.
I don't understand why its far right to want limits on immigration.
Its also not about needing to get rid of anyone.. Its about managing the inflow a lot better
Because regular right wingers don't want to, for one.
And for two, the most outspoken voices for limiting immigration are either lying (Tories) to stir up support using xenophobia (which is literally a far right tactic).
Or said voices are for limiting immigration because they don't like the concept of more brown people crossing the border of the country they inhabit (which is far right thought).
It is not right wing but the left wingers think it is. Because of the lefts hatred of the right they then pretend they are pro immigration just to upset the people who in their minds are right wing.
Meanwhile in the real world the left is upsetting everyone.
@@clownofthetimes6727 maybe you don’t realise those views are far right because they have been normalised
@@infosuge No anything to the right of being far left is now considered by some as far right. Wanting control of immigrstion is not right wing. It is centre.
You’re being brainwashed to believe migration is an issue. People moving about is not an issue. It’s meant to distract you from the fact the elite minority are taking it all.
The UK Governments have for decades been to the right of their European equivalents. For example, the Labour Party has traditionally been to the right of even Conservative Parties in Europe. British Conservatism basically has been occupying the ground of the far right, it's just a differing level on the political spectrum. The tabloids have driven this in the UK culminating in Brexit, not even the main far right parties in Europe have been barking enough to pursue that route of leaving the EU. Look at ideas being discussed within the Tories and Reform, like the withdrawal from the European convention of human rights and you can see far right politics in the heart of Britain.
See if you can re-word your comment without the use of the meaningless term 'far right', it might make some sense then
@@steveblundell7766 Far-right is a well established term with precise meaning attatched to it, and I think you know that.
Every country in Europe has the same problems which politicians are failing to address , too many people, not enough capacity to cope , failing healthcare systems , lack of housing , not enough school places , etc , etc the right is gaining traction due to desperation , & will continue to do so, until mass migration & the issues related to it are addressed.
This exactly, one ear jimmy doesn't get it
Our grandfather's fought against the far right for never again and its such a shame they gave their lives
Your grandfather was probably a young adult in the swinging sixties.
@@norwegianzoundHow did you determine that?
All the brain damage from the leaded gasoline causing them to become bigots
Are we cousins? Also, you left out the thing that he owned.
Shame we allowed Britain to be invaded after our grandfathers repelled the Germans
Litrally, just sick of my kid being taught a man can give birth.
I think you may be confused, this does not happen!
@lynnevenables7193 Yes, it does. My son brought a book home the other day, which said it on the front with two men. 🙄 ait all ties in with the woke agenda Labour pushes and the tories have bowed to.
Then teach him that a man can’t
Even in Herne Bay you have Turks with kebab and hair dressing shops who only except cash, and when I asked if I could have a job of cutting chicken, told a flat no. It felt like a reverse anti dicrination 😊😊
Those are often family businesses, if they have a son who can cut chicken they won't hire you. Sorry about your experience though.
Interestingly 803k have listened to this and only 287 have liked
O'Brien is not likeable is he
@@steveblundell7766 No I don’t find him so. He invites people on his show then bullies and ridicules them if they have an opposing view. LBC encourage people to be respectful but he shows no respect at all! I don’t know how he gets away with it tbh.
Nobody likes anymore dude, get with the times 🙄
Far right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dear James Your Overton window is a mere arrow slit. What was conservative is now far right.
In the US of Murca, those things are one and the same. In England, not really.
@@captain_context9991 Oh they are. Or will be, very soon.
@@weareallbornmad410
No... I was a Brit for 8 years. The English have something called guilt and shame. Which prevents adults from going all-in on anything. They just dont have it in them to go full-on crazy. on any topic.
The Conservative and Unionist Party of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Or, as it will soon be known.
"WHO"??
I'm surprised that James seems to downplay the explicit far-right rhetoric of the current UK government, expressed not only through words but also through legislation. And also the far-right rhetoric that is as popular in the society in the UK as is in the rest of Europe.
throughout the program he's talking about the sentiments of the populations not of the governments.
@@alanhat5252 Aren't the populations that vote for governments? My point is that he seems to suggest that the people in European countries take a far right turn while people in the UK are immune to far right rhetoric which is far from being true. In fact the people in the UK have already swallowed the far right rhetoric and are now trying to digest it...
@@alanhat5252 The sentiments of the people in the 1930s was anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-democracy and anti-Conservative, this is not the sentiments of people voting in Europe today
What far right legislation
You are on different time lines. When the UK was in the EU, the UK EU reps were collectively the most right in the Brussels parliament. Then Brexit came along, accelerating the rise of the right, and putting the Tories in power for 14 years with the extreme right of the party exerting significant influence. But those right wing ideas are really just wedge, populist issues that get in the way of effective governance. They have been exposed and now the electorate wants a center-left government. The EU is in the early stages of a shift to the right. We will have to wait and see if it continues but to my simple mind that’s what’s going on.
Nonsense. Boris was elected on a centre right mandate. Then he got in and moved to the left. Net zero, no stopping the boats.
That's why they are done.
The political situation in the UK is very different to that of the EU. The Tories are very right wing on economic policies but not when it comes to controlling immigration given that under the tories especially since Brexit there have been record levels of immigration.
😂 'centre-left', no thanks! 😂
@@algernonsidney8746 That's not them being non-right wing on immigration. That's them being hypocrites, which is fundamental to right wing thought.
@@KhalkaraI don't think you know what right wing means. Right wing is literally just non interventionist. Governments across the world are left wing. Ultra interventionist. We live in a plutocracy where daddy government manages the lower classes
'fAr rIgHt'....what a bed-wetter! 😂
Dear James if the EU are going far right should we re - join the enlightened Europe ?
Would be hilarious to watch o Briens reaction to that
About Europe turning "right-wing"... Social services, 100% healthcare, free education, workers rights, unions, paid holidays, NONE of the important stuff is in danger. Nobody is coming for our way of life. The only issue in which people demand more "right-wing", is on immigration politics. Because populistic voices that people love to listen to, will tell you that immigration is unsustainable as it is. Across the board. On ANY of the things that are important, EU is not turning right-wing or anywhere else.
But the UK and England especially is already one of the most populist far right countries in Europe. Not sure we would welcome you back under these circumstances.
@@captain_context9991 "the important stuff" ie. "look over here at these approved issues, for god's sake don't look at the elephant in the room"
France, Belgium and the Netherlands saw success for far-right parties. Leftist parties had success in Sweden and Denmark. The centre gained in many countries, and in some countries such as Poland and Hungary parties on the right lost ground.
The Greens got hammered, but a few years back they gained loads of seats.
There seems to be a cyclic and ever changing scenario across Europe.
I remember the BNP getting loads of councillors in the UK, until people realised they were useless on a local level.
To be honest, I think people get the political situation they deserve. Effectively, Brexit made the British second-class citizens in their own continent, but that is the consequence of a democratic choice.
Spoiler: It isn't.

Isn't it splitting hairs a bit to say they're only far right on immigration? That's very motivating for them, even if it's all based on lies and hate. I do find it worth studying that the far right parties are almost only talking about immigration, it goes to show that hate and irrational fear is a powerful motivator and manipulation tool. If everything around you is fine, and all you can obsess over is "the other" next door, juet trying to exist and live, it seems like that person is solely driven by bigotry.
"the important stuff" ie. "look over here at these approved issues, for god's sake don't look at the elephant in the room"
@captain_context9991, if you vote for the right wing you'll get the right wing & all that you say is safe will tumble one after another.
@@alanhat5252
Dude... Luckily I dont have to be a part of that... Im one of those educated intellectuals and while I did my university in England, I got out of there after 8 years. There is not even a remote risk of right-wing over here.

I was about to destroy James's presumptions, but I'm dumbfounded by that gigantic mug.😮
What presumptions?
By far right they just mean white & working class
We lurched to the right half a decade ago. We've seen how bad it's been. These countries will be doing the same in 7-8 years time.
But we have gone left over the last 5 years and people also hate that, so what's the answer?
@@AmeliaIsabella_xThat's not true at all, what are you talking about?
@@thomaswikstrand8397 Then why is the right rising again? Riddle me that. Quite basic logic really.
@@AmeliaIsabella_x Does "we" mean Norweigan? That's the only country I know with a left wing coalition in charge.
Its because of immigration. That's it
Far right😂
In the last three years net migration was 1,800,000, house building 0.6 million.
Applying supply slide economics rent and mortgages will increase.
It may be possible to increase house building although that will increase inflation as there will a higher demand for skill workers and an increase in demand for building materials.
So if we cannot increase the homes then we can only decrease migration .
There's certainly not enough house building, however recently in the average year over 500,000 people emigrate from the UK, and slightly more (600,000) die.
Another solution to any housing shortage might be the decriminalisation of squatting to free up the 250,000 empty houses for the poorest in society.
building enough houses lowers housing prices and 'screws' over house owners who want to see their value climb ever higher without having to do anything.
Guess which voting block is bigger, those who own houses or those you don't.
its not about immigrants, its about wealth.
@@user-cu5nw7kq5b I appreciate your criticism but I did say net migration. But I hope we both agree that migration is unsustainable
@@TheDeadnaughty so your solution is to build a city the size of Glasgow every three years.
@@greamespens1460 - I think we need to ask why the Conservative Party, in power for 14 years, failed in capping immigration.
Brexit was sold to the electorate as a means of taking back control of our borders. However, all it did was stop FOM movement for EU citizens, and our freedom of movement in the other direction.
We have seen a massive rise of immigration from outside the EU since Brexit. This was predicted by many economists.
Why? Because we had a labour shortage arise in certain sectors as a consequence of EU citizens leaving the UK. More importantly, we had to give sweeteners to countries like India in order to secure potential new trade deals. This was hidden from the public by the Conservative Party.
Also, Pro-Brexit commentators are arguing that one success of us leaving the EU is that wages have risen for British workers in some sectors. How can that be the case if EU immigration has been replaced by a higher rise in non-EU immigration? Immigration either drives down wages, or it doesn't.
Is sustainability dependent upon limiting immigration? Possibly.
However, one might argue that between 1800 and 1950 we saw the British population soar from 10 million to 50 million, and if anything living conditions improved for most people.
Fair enough we have had indigenous growth, and mass immigration, for the last 70 years but nothing like the rate of social change, and the population explosion that happened during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
As such, sustainability comes down to investment in infrastructure. Are we less capable as a nation than our Victorian predecessors?
Thank you Maurice (if you see this!). Excellent points.
Apparently they don't buy homes in Europe most of it, they only rent, but what about if costs of homes either were reduced by a third the cost that they are now, or debt wiped for those with a third left to pay, as the ONS, says we will prosper this way, for all including all citizens of Britain ...
The phrase Far Right has about much value as a ticket to a North Korean gulag.
The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A
How much immigration is too much immigration, James? Or is there no limit on it?
Why is this so short is it missing a section?
58:33 The UK did not "rally" the Canadians to fight fascism.. We declared war against Germany just a few days after the UK. And also ignored in UK podcasts about D-day. The Canadian contingent took Juno beach.
Utterly pathetic and laughable that anyone would think this was in any way relevent to the present situation, are you people not capable of looking at more recent history, might want to start with the last decade
@@steveblundell7766 This was discussed in the video. So it's commented on under the video. All you're doing by begging everyone not to mention it is making us wander what you're ashamed of.

uk veterans did not go to war for democracy or to protect any race or culture. They went because they were patriotic about England and the country was calling for them. so james saying right wing against what veterans stood for not true.

Far too many people refer to "Continental Europe" by just saying "Europe", which implies that the UK isn't in Europe.
"Brexit"!!!!
A lot of people in the UK do not consider themselves europeans.
@@curtisalex456 Even James made this "mistake" though.
It's like when people say 'The United States of America' rather than 'North America'. Its not implying that Canada isn't in North America, it is just a convenient way of referring to a region of North America that does not include Canada
Is it? It doesn't seem to want to be.
@@weareallbornmad410 I think you´re confused, Steve. I do make a difference between "North America" and "America". For me, "North America" means the USA and Canada. Most English native speakers say "America" and mean the USA. For Spanish speakers, America usually means Latin America.
The difference was immigrants for the most part integrated, learned the language and added to the culture. The last 20 years that isn't the case and you can't say they are all the same. When the Prime Minister in Canada tried to compare Syrians to the problems they had with the Italians and Greeks in the 50s I found it insulting to all the immigrants from the 50s. The pols, Irish, Greeks, Italians, Jamaicans, etc helped make the country better. They also didn't force their culture on us either.
So where did Troglodytes m!grate from where is the census and why has it disappeared ay?
Everyone is a m!grant all except Troglodytes 😆
Tell that to the Americans. One wise man once said that the world is like a mirror, could it be that you are paranoid that they will do what you did?
Nice of you to speak up for the 1950's immigrants who my parents were of that group. Unfortunately the far right don't take these subtleties into consideration.
"The pols, Irish, Greeks, Italians, Jamaicans, etc helped make the country better. They also didn't force their culture on us either."
Nobody is "forcing" their culture on you. That´s just ridiculous, nobody is making you go to Mosque or eat curry.
Do you have any evidence for this? Or is this just a talking point you've heard your propaganda officer tell you?
Tribalism.
Excellent word! Now you need to construct what is known as a *sentence* around it.
Perhaps the Danish Social Democrats are worth a closer look? They can be, and have been, considered to accommodate xenophobic and anti-Muslim sentiments. (But their party-leader has been PM since 2019.)

I noticed his guest refers to the Left and the Far Right. Surely the antonym of left is right.
Not when it comes to the parties that were elected. There really weren't any far left parties that got significant votes, so it's the "left". Where as there were plenty of far right parties that were got votes so that is why people talk about far right and just left.

I'm going to form my stance on whether immigration is essential from university bursars, who say foreign students subsidise courses for UK-born students;
Farmers, facing fields of rotting crops, if the pickers don't come;
Hospital administrators begging to be allowed to recruit from abroad, to fill empty roles.
As opposed to some guy with a tattoo of Tiny Tommy Ten-Names, whose bulldog wears a Templar tabard.
Yet University fee’s have skyrocketed by like 400% in the last 15 years, that’s tens of thousands of pounds extra debt . So much for the foreign student subsidies. And when you can offer minimum wage for imported labour, why would you want to pay a reasonable wage to a homegrown workforce?? Do you think those at the top of the pyramid aren’t doing this by design?? Oh but it’s all just thick people who have an issue with it. Keep swimming in your snobbery and ignorance.
The numbers now are staggeringly different to any historical comparison . The tap is flowing faster and heavier from the world. China and the Middle East don’t seem to have a problem and nor do you as you don’t call them out but you call other countries out hypocritical as usual

Because far right is the only place where people can live and create something.
what does that even mean?
People have been living and creating something outside of far right for almost all human history.
In fact, looking back at 20th century, far right seems to be a _destructive_ force...
What?!!! 😂
What a " PAPER HAT " !!!!

James is still saying Von der Layen instead of Von der Lion - quite disappointing for a man of his "intellect".
