James O'Brien

I used to like him many years ago, but he's just ridiculous these days. I'm not even sure he believes what he says, just like whipping up people

Collidascope I wonder what the people on the MN Feminism threads would make of that.

When it happened, he was not popular at all in there. He was quite an arse about it on Twitter too, iirc.

You called?

I disagree with many of O’Brian’s views on the trans issue. But that doesn’t mean I think he’s ridiculous, or crap or droney. And I don’t feel it means I have to disagree with him on everything else he says. There are plenty of people I disagree with on some issues and agree with on others.

I think it's a just another example of where Brexit has become so tribal, so that anything or anyone who is anti-Brexit, no matter how well supported by facts or logic must be negative.

I have to say, I don’t think there is another “popular” presenter on the media as clued up about Brexit as O’Brian.

'He loves the sound of his own voice, I've heard him be very very rude and frankly childish to callers who don't agree with his position. He seems unable to have a proper conversation'

Can't argue with any of this. He's obnoxious. He's still spot on about Brexit though

On the Transcult though, he's a misogynist disgrace
