I guess we’re not alone in the US in having an epidemic of folks who are ridiculously easy to fool into thinking literally anything.

And this ladies and gentlemen is why we are in the mess we are in ... 🙄

Guy can barely string together a sentence. These folks are everywhere in the UK.

This guy undoubtedly went down the pub that night and bragged that he put James in his place. Ignorance really is bliss.

The spirit of Farage is strong in this one.

As Donald Trump once said " I love the uneducated"

As a an american, I find it heartening that we have not cornered the market on ignorant radio callers

It's like talking to a 5yr old😓

This guy is the epitome of what one Italian commentator once said, and I quote, "this guy is more confused than a chameleon in a box of smarties".

Not only do they walk amongst us but they're allowed to vote

"Did we ring you?" "Did we take you by surprise?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The way this man can carry a conversation with someone he strongly disagrees with is incredible. Need more people capable of that!

"We never sold cars in the single market" - in 2019 51% of UK-manufactured cars were exported to the EU "Germany failed to support Ukraine" - Germany's humanitarian aid to Ukraine has been nearly 10 times that of the UK, including accepting over 1 million refugees

Remember, this caller is allowed to drive.

This caller is an absolutely perfect example of why this country is a total mess. At least they got what they wanted, if they even know what they wanted? Now we all have to live with it. Well done James, I don't know how you manage to get through a conversation with people like this.

This looks so depressive. People who cannot accept they made a mistake.

In a few years people like this man will be saying, 'Why did the EU _let_ us leave if they knew all this would happen?' with a completely straight face.

"The EU stole our Car industry!" "Do you have any evidence that it was actually the EU who did this?" "Well yes, it's not there anymore!" Monty Python wrote this skit.

It's like a conversation at the local pub

I have heard that British people are polite. But I would never think how far your politeness can go. My greatest respect to James.

Mark Twain said it best: “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Unfortunately, I do not think it was Andy's turn to borrow the family brain cell 😂

I highly respect how calm he stayed during this conversation.

Holy heck! As a coach driver that guy must have had a lot of experience driving people around the bend. Imagine being stuck with that on a long trip. It’s very much like the UK’s contribution to the European Parliament: largely vacuous and abusive. As a European citizen I’m enormously relieved we no longer have to put up with it.

It's hard for someone to understand your thoughts when they struggle to understand their own.

I wouldn't trust Andy to run the hot tap to be honest...

I can't believe these people are allowed to vote

"I didn't expect to be on here" "Did we ring you, sorry mate" 🤣

"What has the EU done for us... ?" Brexit has turned into a Monty Python sketch.

“The greatest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter” -Winston Churchill

Albert Einstein nailed it pretty accurately: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

It always amuses me when people use the term 'do-gooders' as an insult.

Imagine voting for an embargo on your own Country. That is Brexit.

Man, I’d hate to live inside that caller’s mind. Can’t communicate a single coherent thought, can’t remain on point or consistent. Yet he’s convinced

Much Love from Germany 😘

I'm sure that guy got off the phone and said to himself "Nailed it"

He got all his info from the Daily Mail. And he trusted the Daily Mail to be well-informed.

James deserves an award for his patience. I couldn't even listen to the whole clip.

The sad thing is there are hundreds of thousands just like him out there and they can vote.

Imagine putting a decision like Brexit on the hands of this caller. Lord have mercy. This country is thick

the problem with this caller is he doesn't know how to connect 2 things together logically. in his mind he's just blamed problems on something but he cannot logically connect the problem with the cause through any kind of evidence. he "thinks" it's self evident because he just believes it.

Also, the poor guy does not understand how long it takes to build a factory...if Ford transits are now built in Turkey, that was implemented years ago. Before Brexit.

"The unelected dictatorship of the EU" As an outsider looking in having developed an interest in British politics Post 2016 to understand what drove the madness of Brexit, that comment is straight out of the Mail/Express playbook, The British press really is vile

It's like talking to a Trump Supporter with a British accent.

James, you deserve an Oscar for tolerating that bloke for up to five minutes. I thought my head was going to explode. He knows jack about what he's talking about. That's just about how much many politicians knows as well....jack! Unbelievable. How did we get here? Honestly, in ten years, we won't believe how we got here.

I sell health and products internationally from the UK, and since leaving the EU, it's now more costly, and slower, to send a parcel to France than it is to Australia. Utter madness!

The caller couldn't answer a single question and refused to listen to any answers.

Well done to James O'Brien for keeping his cool when confronted with this call.

That was painful to listen to. Great respect for James O'Brian for braving through this and still managing to be this polite. It truly is as the saying goes: "It's easier to fool people than it is to convince people that they have been fooled."

I am honestly impressed by the patience of the host. He gave him ample opportunity to express himself. He simply asked him questions. Answers are apparently realy complicated if you only have accusations.

This caller is the proof that one can get through life without being able to think.

This is terrifying! Not only does this bloke have a vote he also drives a coach for fare paying passengers.😱

A guy argues for 15 minutes solidly and didn't have one single fact or even non ridiculous opinion. However, as we all know, it doesn't matter what you say, its how loud you say it 😂

How James keeps his cool while listening to idiots, morons and imbeciles is a mystery to me. I want to train myself to do that.

I heard this with jaw dropped and a bit sadness knowing this guy is now beyond help. Perfect gammon for the Tory base. This is THEIR level.

Gosh, my heart sinks when I hear people like this. No wonder this country is in the terrible state it is. Ignorance is certainly not bliss!

If this guy drove against a wall, he'd back up and drive into it again. What an absolute tool.

bizarre, the unmitigated ignorance is staggering.

It is genuinely terrifying to think that people like him are actually allowed to vote! Individuals like this are the reason we are in this mess!

We will get 4 more years of tories if this guy is anything to go by. What a dilbert

I felt my brain cells dying as I listened to that man.

Oh my, oh my....... is it any surprise we're in a mess.

This is what happens when you operate, intellectually, on nothing but emotions. His feelings are so strong that he can't even countenance that they could be wrong. Then, when he tries to communicate them, he finds that there is nothing there.

This call needs to be added to the British museum 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"How" and "Why" is the best weapon against idiots.

The worst part is I have to share my country with people like Andy.

He actually just said, 'Why didn't they give us what we had before?'

And this is why a question as complicated as membership of the European Union should have been left to experts.

That was painful to watch. My hear goes to James O'Brien.

Give James a medal 😂😂😂

wait until he finds out the U.K.’s head of state is an unelected monarch 😂😂😂

I applaud the patience of Brian, he actually ask valid questions and tried to understand the mindset of the leavers. As a Canadian, a third country citizen, it makes no difference for me to enter UK (where I live before Brexit) or Germany (where I live now after Brexit) I guess I don’t feel the heat as much, but I did move to Germany because of Brexit. As a former short-term Londoner, all my friends are remainers. I can almost guarantee you that most people who voted to leave don’t even know what EU is all about. My German partner will tell you that, without EU, the hassle of exchanging currencies, and the restrictions on movement of goods. Considered Germany had one of the strongest currencies in Europe before the EU, the Germans would still tell you that it is better being in the EU than being the outside of it. Imagine all the small European countries having to negotiate separately with all the trade deals, and deal with the fluctuation of the currencies. And if not for the EU, I reckon Russia would invade as many small European countries as they can, seeing the way they strong arm their military. I don’t know, that’s just my guess, but judging by all the superpowers in the world, at least the EU is on a level playing field with the alliance.

Well… I don’t know about you but I’m a little more ashamed of my country than I was an hour ago

it's easy believing in conspiracies when you don't know how anything works

Empty vessels sound loudest...this is terrifying in the callers ignorance.

I blame the person who showed him how to use a phone.

Caller is an absolute weapon

I am in shock with the patience and polite attitude of James…that poor man was not just ignorant but a violent selfish intolerable.

People here in the US think English accents make you sound intelligent... and then there’s this guy.

What’s really scary is that this person is not alone. Is there any hope for us?

This guy is making it look like controlled opposition

It's unbelievable that our politicians are scared of upsetting people like Andy. I can't believe that our entire country seems to be pandering to clueless & gullible people like this guy. My patience with suffering these people & their nonsense is exhausted, we need to rejoin the tried & tested EU, which we know works, ASAP.

This is Paul Whitehouse trying out a new character...

I live in Spain and there are many retired folks from the UK here. They have to return home every 90 days due this blunder. Most people I've met from the UK oppose these policies.

As frustrating as this is to listen to, I think it’s important to understand that people like this are VERY common in the UK.

The more I listen to James, the more I realize that the exact same thing that happened in the states happened in the UK after Covid. It's amazing what fear can do to a society.

WOW! JUST WOW!!

Andy is someone who will go on voting against his own best interest because he's beyond help!

How he even manage to work the phone is beyond me.

This guy is probably the brightest bulb in the pub!

Blames the war and pandemic for fall in GDP but credits Brexit for being well off 😅. You couldn't write it.

In the words of Edmund Blackadder: "the eyes are open, the mouth moves but mr brain has long since departed"

So hard to watch. I feel the pain.

Wow, this was painful to listen to...and to think there are millions of people just like him walking amongst us

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt"

You’ve called into national radio. You’ve got all your ducks in a row. And here you are getting your pants pulled down in front of everyone. Hey, mate. I told you so.

Scotland given the Independance Vote with absolutely no idea the Brexit Vote was coming next. Sneaky bstrds 😂😂😂

Top tip. If you spend a majority of your time in the pub, surrounded by friends telling you that every word in the Mail is true do not ring into a talk show where you will get fact checked.

I think I got dumber listening to that caller attempting to connect the dots. If they had another braincell it would be lonely.

“What information do you think you’re talking about?” That question cracks me up. I actually laughed out loud.
