Have a listen to Shelagh’s show today between 2 and 3. Glinner was on it, then they had a few calls, the last one just before 3 was amazing and they talked about AGP, great to hear on mainstream radio!

Shelagh is fabulous on women's rights.
As is Tom Swarbrick.

Unfortunately the giant bellend that is James O'Brien lets the side down.
How anyone listens to that man's show is beyond me.

I turn LBC off IMMEDIATELY at 10am when he comes on, cannot abide him in any way.

Onoxious, condescending bore, just the sound of his voice gets on my very last nerve, never mind the crap he spits out.

Me too - love Shelagh and Tom (except when he rants on about pensions). They are brilliantly sharp and fair to callers and know their stuff. Shelagh covers some topics you never hear about elsewhere.

I used to like him, and (in theory) would love to read his book "how not to be wrong". (No need - I can get an AI summary!

Key takeaways from How Not to Be Wrong

Self-reflection is civic duty
Examine your own hurtful opinions
Uncover the origins of your beliefs
Challenge unconscious biases
Move beyond winning arguments
Embrace change as a process)

Now I can't listen to him for more than a few seconds, literally.

So, James, have you?

Self-reflected on why people (sex realists and brexiteers especially) hate you so much?

Exaine your hurtful opinion that women do not deserve rights?

Uncovered the origin of your opinion that men can be women?

Challenged you unconscious biases (not least against sex realists and people who oppose mass immigration)?

Considered that listening and reflecting to others, instead of silencing them and smugly sitting there believing you have won the argument?

Considered that changing from "smug public school knob who hates fat people and stupid people (aka "ordinary people") was only part of the process, and that maybe you could change into someone who doesn;t hate women?

He is appalling on every single level, but the fact that he claims to believe all these things because he reflected once and became a slightly better man than he was a a teenage public schoolboy is just nuts.

Show quote history

He claims, or certainly used to, that he was "educated" on trans issues by his then teenaged daughters. The definition of a kidult is one who, when his kids come home babbling of gender gingerbread persons & sex spectrums, does not reply "what the hell are you on about? I think I need a meeting with your headteacher".

He used to sing the praises of his friend Fox Fisher (a biological woman), who he described as a "fine young man". This was before FF decided to identify as non binary.
