For JOB this morning.....my first 2 choices would have been.

Remainers cannot stop Brexit or force a second Referendum......or say "Huh?...this deal looks like Remain.....is there any point in actually Leaving??"

Only Leavers can do any of those things.


or


Child Footballer Abuse Victims: Listen to the Children. (Good)
Child Abuse Victims: Listen to David Mellor Ranting. (Huh? Surely Some Mistake?)

Explain parliamentary democracy, that is who the country has used for hundreds of years.

The EU, a simple vote......do you wish the UK to stay in or to leave.
A greater number of people who bothered to actually vote wanted out, that's democracy in action. JOB still banging the Remain drum which suggests he is against a DEMOCRATIC decision..........I was making a simple point, sorry that it confused you

History (13th. Century) - 'concilium regis in parliamento'.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Parliament
Obviously, it has gone through many changes and reformations over the intervening years.
Possible current reformations are constantly being discussed, including the question of the degree of sovereignty of Parliament (along with its relationship with the Monarchy) and if the House of Lords should remain as unelected.

Yes - wrongly, in my opinion.
The repercussions, however, are highly complex.

It's not about what he is receiving financially.......it's about what he believes he can gain from its existence, he doesn't need financial remuneration, he desires power.
Are you forgetting the fact that he very publicly and very firmly threw his hat in the ring to becoming the 'Great EU PooBah'.
A bit tricky for him now, which is why he bothers to spout "Leave the Eu - me no likey'

That's the price you pay for living in a democracy, people not enjoying decisions made by the majority.......was it ever thus?

The vote was:
1. Remain in the Eu
or
2. Trigger Article 50 on the 28th June 2016 and irreversibly Leave the Eu under Prime Minister David Cameron.

Cameron moved the goalposts a few hours after the vote.
He told two Blatant Untruths relating to the outcome.

If everything unravels it is his fault.
If Parliament vote on the Will of the People....and the Will of People In Sunderland is not the same as it would have been on the 28th June 2016....that is Cameron's fault.

In other words, a vote is only as good as the truthful information on which it is based.

We are all fully aware that JO'B voted to remain & that, in his opinion, those who voted to leave are ill-educated racist fools !!

Do we really need to hear it.........again It doesn't bode well for Nick A, tonight... he will definitely be jumping on the same Blair/Major bandwagon. His sense of humour will, once again, be left at home

Happy Weekend to you All x

With Brexit we’re headed for disaster . . . how’s that for ‘pouring bile into the ears of ‘ill-informed’ people. (JOB’s trailer for his programme this morning).

DISASTER? This sounds like word use of the kind that gives us vox pops where someone speaks of their DEVASTATION over the slightest sort of personal set back.

Lack of ongoing improvement in people’s incomes. Why is it assumed by JOB that we should in the West get steadily more affluent with each passing year? Most importantly in this context, consider the effects of globalisation in depressing the profitability of English businesses and the wage expectations of workers as a result of greatly increased competition from foreign sources.

Yes, there may be costs associated with leaving the EU, but they are worth it to us as a nation and as individuals, especially in the longer run. And all the current angst is based on focus on our financial health and ability to trade successfully – what about Europe’s? There is at present a very notable lack of coverage here of the EU’s problems with impending ‘leavers’, national economies and banks on the brink and a changing political climate in which LibFascism’s grip is now withering – with that the fad for a federal continent will die too. Check back a year from now any worried remainers!

He absolutely does not say this.
On your second point - yes, I think we do need to both hear it and discuss it, until it is resolved one way or the other.
As I said, it's complex.

I don't recall anybody promising the act of disentangling ourselves from the coils of the EU was going to be easy. I look upon as a kind of chemo-therapy. unpleasant while it's happening but resulting in freedom from an unpleasant disease.

I also have a theory that at the end of the two year period after A50 is triggered, and the Remoaners start clamouring for a referendum to vote on the results of the negotiations, that the EU will be in such a parlous state that nobody in their right mind would vote to remain anyway. That's if it hasn't imploded, after going round in ever-decreasing circles before disappearing up its own you-know-what!

Any side that needs the aid of a Primeminister who misrepresented evidence to parliament and another that banged Edwina Currie needs to take a serious look at itself.

JOB has repeatedly said that members of his family voted leave and they are decent people.
Of course this goes against the "wisdom" of some but it's a fact.
There is a reason that post truth was made word of the year.

I tried to give James O'Brien a go also but he seemed to be shouting somewhat incoherently into the microphone so I have switched to another station.
It won't last. I haven't listened to his show for three years now, but from what I have read on here in that time, it's only ever a phase that fades with time. Bit like a new year's resolution.

The poor snowflake is probably still re-grouping after the shock of Donald Trump winning rather than disappearing into his shell for a while which he can't do with a job like his.
From the comments on here this morning it sounds like O'Brian's slipped back into his old (44 year old ) self.
That supposed b*ll*cking he got from management obviously didn't last long.
