James is not a racist, listened to his talksport show for over 10 years (i stopped listening after he left though), many of his callers were from all backgrounds, many Muslims
If he were a racist i would not have tolerated him
Yes he is a bit right wing, but he also has liberal views and is quick to put racist callers in their place. People presume he is a racist - i don't understand why. Sometimes white callers would call his show believing James held their racist views only to feel the wrath of James.
He is no Katie Hopkins.
He had many controversial guests on his show from hate preachers, to white extremists to christian religious nutters to Goerge Galloway who is a good friend of his
Although Saira was just curious, i don't blame her Saira is actually far more controversial than James and has said some offensive stuff about Asians. Overall i think both of them would get on very well, as they share many similar views.
