James O'Brien hosts a phone in asking callers to identify the most memorable Tory moment from the last 14 years.
James hears from caller Anne, who argues that the Brexit vote was 'not ridiculous' and those who voted for it are 'quite intelligent and quite informed'.
James goes on to ask Anne to outline the 'best bit' of Brexit but she refuses to give him an example.
They argue back and forth for seven minutes before Anne hangs up...

@nadinewiseman4995 2 месяца назад

My husband communicates with these people regularly, I cannot do it. He has "friends" who voted Brexit and continue to defend it. And all he asks is, over and over and over again, "Please, here's your chance to destroy me. Give me one - JUST ONE - Brexit benefit. Go on. Anything. Any little thing that you think benefits this country. Doesn't matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Just one." They can't. Because, like MAGA, it's a cult. It's about blind faith. They HATE being questioned. They HATE being asked for data, facts and sources. They simply resort, like this woman, to, "Well Brexit hasn't been done properly" oh PUR-LEASE.

Profited from? We were insulated from the US crisis until Two Fines and his 3 gang members collapsed a Dutch bank to extract £400,000,000 for themselves from. Two Fines literally cost the tax payer over half a trillion Pounds in 2008 alone. Then Pociophile Dave publicly interfered with the prosecution of his 2 co-conspirators in the UK to the point the judge had to shut the trial down on the grounds that they could "no longer be guaranteed a fair trial". If not for that interference they would have been jailed and Two Fines extradited back to the UK for trial.
