I’ve just heard the greatest bit of radio in my whole lifetime (and I’ve listened to a lot of radio in the last 30 odd years).
A character called Richard (could it be Mr Heenan?) decided to call James O’Brien and give him a few home truths. It didn’t end up going well for Richard. From floundering about Harry and Meghan, then talking about his ex-girlfriends via the British Kebab awards, if you get the chance to hear the whole call, it’s an absolute must listen.
You do get that callers are screened for Brian O'Chiswick don't you? Anyone who can articulate a valid counter-argument isn't allowed on, it's Jeremy Kyle levels of cynical goading and baiting.
James really is a miserable human being and part of a wider problem. But worse than that, he's a coward. Harry and Meghan should be called-out, just in the same way those people who push gender-reassignment on children should. For example, James avoids the trans-debate ... he says he doesn't know enough about it. I call bullshit on that ... he should make it part of his job to find out more, he surely has an opinion on it. But no, he won't touch it for fear of upsetting a certain demographic that he needs, just in the same way he won't call-out Harry and Meghan for their rampant narcissicism and a victimhood narrative, again for fear of being 'cancelled' or labelled 'racist'. I think that's what troubles me most about James, his cowardice. Believe it or not I really have no problem with Harry and Meghan, people like that will always exist, my big problem is with their enablers and defenders ... Netflix et al and to a certain degree James.
