James is going to be discussing trans issues today on LBC. His show is on now - not sure what time the segment will start, but should be good!

LBC listen again is free on the free app.

It may that by liking certain quotes he can then gauge the polar views on any given topic. There may be an opportunity here.... twitter.com/mrjamesob/status/975709517752266752

What did you think Posie

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 14:18

Did you try to call in again. He was so vile to you last time.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 14:20

Dw I found you on twitter

GabeIsShocking · 19/03/2018 14:24

It annoyed JOB to not be able to give Hannah the man made TERF label. He wanted to divide feminism. This isn't just about trans, and whoever suggested to say "I am a feminist" in debate, has been proven right.

You have nailed it, brilliant post!

I think some of the twitter posts come across as aggressive. Fair enough point out his inconsistency but demanding he responds to tweets sounds bullying. No-one has to respond to social media stuff. We can argue our points without sounding like bullies.

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 19/03/2018 15:32

JOB blocked me, I sent him a few tweets, quoting stuff from here mostly. It got retweets. He obvs doesn't like it. What a wuss.

KatherinaMinola · 19/03/2018 15:41

Wish I'd heard it - is it on catch up?

This is a perfect summary of this whole trans debate:

Woman: Women don't feel safe with men in their spaces
JOB: I resent your insinuation that all men are violent.
Transwoman: I'll get attacked if I go into a men's toilet
JOB: Oh mate, that's terrible. Of course you must be allowed to get away from all the very violent men who are waiting to hurt you.

Just read this and I am full of admiration for you, Sweary.

I don't live in London and have never listened to this O'Brien fella but having read so many people who feel they would lose their job if they publicly went against the transgender agenda, he could well just be trying to protect his job.

@Coyo, I think you have a valid point there

Very much doubt it. They have many presenters including Farage, all who have very different views on a range of subjects. Nothing is usually off the table.

nauticant · 19/03/2018 17:13

JOB isn't worried about his job. He's worried about his brand. His brand as a right-on brocialist who's also ace at doing feminism.

JOB blocked me,

What? That's really crap of him. I didn't realise he was a block people that say stuff I don't like type. But I guess it would make sense - the way he uses his mute button on the show, and talks over women people.

Yes. Paris Lees has been tweeting about self id all afternoon. I imagine they are very annoyed at their bezzie James for even putting this up for debate.

LadyMcLadyCrisps Flowers for you. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes. Sometimes the sheer glamour of migraines, period pain, stress incontinence etc just overwhelms me. Grin

And my period pants are hella sexy
Who wouldn't want to be me?

Mytholmroyd · 19/03/2018 17:47

Thank you Sweary Flowers brilliant!

thebewilderness · 19/03/2018 17:48

I wonder how other people hear it when a self styled feminist male advocates so clearly for a double standard as he did.

OvaHere · 19/03/2018 17:53

Anyone know why PL doesn't have a GRC as per the above tweets? What is their reasoning? Given their high profile status I'm assuming there are no barriers other than perhaps time on a waiting list to getting one.

transcendentphobic · 19/03/2018 17:54

Someone on twitter should reply to Paris Lees. Maybe say something like 'if you really want the facts on Self-ID go on mumsnet or Sage". PL is lying through their fake teeth.

Akire · 19/03/2018 17:54

This is radio station that had Katie Hopkins with her own show, worried about losing job he is not!

LabourLostMe · 19/03/2018 18:02

So JOB thinks it's ok for him to enter women's changing rooms when his with his daughter (wtf!) and seemed annoyed that this would be a problem 'just' because some men are violent predators, yet he wholeheartedly agreed that the transwomen should not be expected to change in the men's changing rooms because some men are violent predators.

LabourLostMe · 19/03/2018 18:06

And well done Hannah, you were brilliant Star

It's a shame they didn't get Roz and her substantiated facts back on.
