What am I supposed to be cross about? | James O'Brien - The Whole Show 

We have entered an age where it's made obvious "rules for thee, and rules for me" .. and it's becoming normalized.

Both my wife and I are disabled, my wife much more severely than I. She has carers who visit her daily, giving me a break since I'm on call to look after her seven nghts a week, 365 nights a year. My point is that if I were to offer these wonderful carers a gift, their professional code of ethics would require them to refuse it. This is simply to avoid even the merest hint of a possibility of carers manipulating vulnerable people or taking advantage of their extreme dependency. In other words it avoids even the suspicion. It should be absolutely no different for politicians of whatever stripe - indeed the entire Whip system was created in order to stop individual members getting backhanders to vote one way or the other, the practice being endemic at the time. It is this principled stance that I personally expect a Labour government to take - and I will be disappointed if they don't going forward.

I wish we had James here in the USA. He tells the truth about the conservatives on both sides of the water.

.....he's not giving it to the party...he's giving it to individuals in the party..James.....😊

What would it take for Keir to do for James would stop praising him? 😂

In 5 years time there will be far more important issues which decide if labour win or lose than who bought his suits in 2024.

"He's spreading his money around a bit to people who can't afford the fancy schmutter". Except they *can* afford the fancy schmutter. Starmer and Reeves are multimillionaires in their own right.

It's not corruption when *we* do it. It's not cruelty when *we* do it.

Boris did this. Truss did this. The Telegraph printed this. The Mail printed this. Note to James O'Brien, they're not in charge anymore (thankfully). Stick to the actions of the people who are in charge and are acting the same way as the previous bunch of shysters.

Who needs Campbell when you have O'brien spinning the hypocrisy?

James has got so much labour brown on his nose from licking up to Starmer , he can hardly hold his head up!

Politics = short memory = hypocritical = short memory 😂 more so if your a Tory or former Tory reformer

My glasses were more than £240

My issue is that if I take any gifts above £30 I'd get in trouble at work. Bribery is Bribery... for me I completely am holding them to a higher standard, there have been years of abuse, and really I wanted the corruption to stop and thought they would stop it. That said its far far better than it was.

Everyone pull your tiny violins out for all the angry reform voters, brexiteers, and Tory fans. Labour unite and let’s laugh and feel sorry for them all just to feed their attention habit. Let’s make their hero Yaxley Lennon a sorrow song x

...you have a responsibility when you inherit such a powerful intellect James...😊

I'm starting to believe that James thinks Keir is the modern messiah - and even with rose tinted glasses on, it's unfathomable to him that Starmer can do any wrong. It is quite remarkable the lengths James will go to, to defend him - even when it is total hypocrisy.

The biggest waste of time, I can think of, is commenting on social media posts 😊

Do we know if the parents of the boy that got away from getting bonked, did something else too? My parents would have made me clean up streets or a park without a judge doing a thing and to be true, they have made me stock shelf’s for a local small store as a 7year old for taking a pack of gums. Another thing, it’s an important message to parents, to deal with their kids in an orderly manner. A solution would be to have a social worker take over for the worse parent and do their job before a child or even teen goes to the justice system. So first offenders and second ones get that social worker for a week and only after that full force of the justice system.

I despise the Tories - but i'm enjoying hearing the lefties reminding me of Vicky Pollard - Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no ....

Worked in the NHS for 15 years, we could not accept gifts other than chocolates or other edible things that were for the whole wars team and we.could not have second jobs, we'd have been too tired to do them.anyway.

James finds out that by reading the Daily Mail / Daily Telegraph you find the LIE of the land!

"Government giving money to rich people, or rich people giving glasses to government. Which one do you prefer?" I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "neither".

My lifelong labour voting/campaigning best friend recently told me his favourite programme is GBNews and I was horrified. I do love your programme, but I rarely get anything else on social media than left leaning stuff….My friend rightly said, he wanted to see whether the views expressed on right wing tv were as ridiculous as we think. His answer? „It’s a Sitcom“…

Cartier glasses are £650

O'Brien needs help and quickly!!

Keep going James you will be in the box with Stalimar watching Asrenal very soon .

It's open bribery James.

The media are making a spectacle of themselves. A Starmer in a teacup.

TO ALL OF THE ANTI STARMER COMMENTATORS ON THIS CHANNEL, I say, if you think for one second that you have a valid point, then have the courage to man up and call LBC and discuss it with someone who knows what he is talking about. See if your arguments can convince anybody of your opinions. WELL ??? NO, I THOUGHT NOT !😂😂😂😂

Poor Yaxley Lennon fans x

When my son was 4 or 5 years old we just got home from shopping and he revealed to me a lolipop that he had pinched from the newsagents. I did not nake a huge fuss about it but i did talk very seriously (like a pre-school carer admonishes appropriately for that age) that he had done something very wrong. Also, i told him that i was shocked and dissapointed... but i thanked him for telling me the truth and i insisted that we make everything better right away by returning to the shop to apologise. He looked teary but relieved when i told him we can right his wrong. We walked to the shop, i asked him to approach the lady at the till and by his side, i helped him to apologise for stealing and the lady was VERY kind, thanked him for being honest and said that she wasn't angry. When we got home i gave him a hug and he was totally fine. Went off to play. I told his dad (who we didn't live with) and he was aghast. He accused me of publicly shaming him and likely damaging his self-esteem for something trivial. He said he wouldnt have bothered and just let him have the lolipop. I was disgusted by his attitude, as a 5 year old who is allowed to be a petty thief - rewarded even - will only think they can do it again and as they get older they could steal more expensive items that would actually get them into huge trouble. Thank you James for reminding me of this moment from 8 years ago and giving me validation that i made the right decision that day.

The highlight of James's day is getting his Daily Mail, usually with the print still wet.

Great case for having freedom of expression (up to the point that your freedom infringes on someone else's freedom) versus an absolute Right to freedom of speech (without boundaries)

On the NEET (Not in Education, Entrepreneur, or Training), agree with the social contract bloke and the man that mentioned how companies have a very turnaround mindset when hiring entry level employees. How will you feel about your prospects in a career path when all their policy is telling you that they will abused your naivety and grind you to dust without any actual prospects of growth.

Loveless, stunned : the way you feel when you're released from the GULAG...

Exposing himself as the prat that he always was, at least he generates a laugh.

I am listening to this.. unfortunately, it's not out of entertainment. The negative diatribe is bitter and biased, its not balanced journalism. It's past bordering on anything more than an agenda, I listen if only for the simple fact that e is quite simply becoming exceptionally divisive on views that are no longer relevant. Regurgitating conservatives past indiscretions whilst applauding recent labour highlights. It's like an unbalanced psychotherapist who is trying to rationalise their impending self-induced insanity through arrogance point of view.The man is on the edge and frankly not well...

Bribery, surely corruption? which it appers is legal now , what is the point of the whip

Don’t get to upset Labour won’t be in number 10 long

Replace Sue Grey with James o'Brian and pay him the 170K

Its not that he took gifts, its to do with the winter fuel allowance. saying that "those with the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden" while he gets all these gifts such a hard time for him right? now you get it?

Pathetic, gaslighting bias from James as usual.

I was surprised to see CH4 News join in on this. I guess its because they've had so much to report on in the past they're just grasping at anything they can get.

How many drinks did you have last night 😂😂😂

being a hypocrite himself (and coconut socialist) obrien wouldn't understand what he's mean't to be angry about

What always make me smile, especially about salaries, and the kerfuffle regarding the Prime Ministers salary along with his aides salary has so many with their proverbial knickers in a twist. These salary levels are ANNUAL. Those with the proverbial are probably quite happy paying to see someone who has NO EFFECT on their lives by kicking/heading a bag of wind players on £500,000 plus per WEEK.

I used to listen to James and think he was sensible...what happened? A case of cognitive dissonance I think. Beginning to sound slightly unhinged now

I wish JOB would give people a chance to talk. I really wanted to listen to the last individual in the 1st phone-in. Anyway, the 2nd topic....the decision made with regards to the 14 year old was wrong. Surely, something isn't quite right with him if he had gone to the scene of a riot. What about later on once he is no longer in his parents home, he might think that it's okay to behave in an unacceptable way.

Please anyone who repeatedly tunes in to this. please pause.............

Out of interest what vinyl was it?

Getting cross about the clothes means you are being ignorant and if it wasn't the clothes any other slight imperfection you would find unacceptable. Rules based system should be simple, if isn't in the rules, then there is nothing wrong, just push to add more rules. You don't get angry at an employee if they followed an archaic procedure in your company and caused an issue unless you are an unreasonable person.

James father must have been a toolmaker

But Raynor said...oh, go look it up.

the lbc filtering team are on it today

"iTs Ok WhEn We Do It" -james obriben

One word immoral, you're missing it , im turning you off ,goodbye

the optics are terrible

When the presenter has morals lower than a snakes belly time to switch off

Fear terro division both Tory's and labour do it James just let's labour off

You should be in jail mate - your hate well exceeds that of the old woman now in jail for 20 months. If a campaign starts to prosecute you I will be the first to chip in. In fact, I will be the first to suggest that action be taken before someone is hurt due to your hateful suggestive comments .

Maybe, just maybe, if the Tories and their chums gave back all the money they pilfered over 14 years the future of the country might look more prosperous....... Maybe.

600 million pounds awarded in the VIP PPE Contracts to the cronies of Tories! All of you moaning on about Labour's Wardrobegate and Footballgate, please get our 600 mn pounds back from the scoundrels who looted our country during a pandemic and then we will address the issue of Keir's infractions in accepting gifts/suits worth 120,000 odd pounds from a Donor!!

"There isn't a left based media" James is deluded beyond belief

🇺🇸🙏🏼💞🔥

What is this nonsense 😂

This bloke needs taking off air

Anderson Nancy Lopez Barbara Williams Dorothy

daily Labour propaganda

“There isn’t a left based media” says the man fronting a left based media channel 🤷‍♂️

You could be cross about: "Labour Given £4 Million From Hedge Fund In The Cayman Islands ".

LBC, if you sack James O’Brien, I shall watch your videos again until then just can’t stand hateful man. Also, maybe he should pay for security for Nigel Farage.

Bircklayers get 500 a day now 🤯🧱🧱💰💰In the Met police i was paid 500 a week 👮‍♂️Id love to be a Bircklayer & have some middle class with LESS money looking down on me 🤣I view Exeter University as a waste of my time & i had no tuition fees 🤔🤯
