Who is Tommy Iommie?!!
Philistine!
I'm just going by what I heard on the radio. I know who Tony Iommi is! (Pronounced "I owe me" for James's benefit!) 😉
Laurie at 10:42 nailed it: "outsider grouping" Societal focus on "others", judged only by the worst. Must protect our women/kids from 'them' (All foreigners, LGBTQ+ folk, whoever) Not new. Waterloo voxpop from last century has “blacks get free houses” line, while they show black man help a beggar
"I've sat [done nothing] on the dole [recieved unemployment benefit - it was weekly then] and I've never got a penny [I have failed to find illegitimate cash in hand work on the side]" the exact same argument the Far Right puppets use now.
Another societal focus of “othering" trend: "dangerous cyclists" features. Airtime, columns & social media vitriol over an "accident waiting to happen" while 5 a day are killed on our roads & almost all KSIs involve drivers. + "Speeding cyclists!" despite 85% of drivers speeding per DfT figures.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social thank you so much for having an hour on Ozzy. His music meant so much to me, and his passing has hit me surprisingly hard, so thank you for dedicating an hour of your programme to an absolute icon of rock.
You should not have apologised.
Have you heard of Nurit Peled? An Israeli scholar who has studied the Israeli education system. It is truly damning. youtu.be/MBNpSvwnxHo?...
Big fan, James. Regular listener from across the pond. Thank you for the engaging conversation.
A groomed white woman who was groomed concluded coloured groomers didn’t learn it was okay in their birth countries but saw white people doing it & copied them. Guilty backlash & as the contributor stated, territorial? A question to ask in order to embolden & incite violent racists?
‘Social cohesion’? Says the guy spouting racist nonsense!
Explain........ if you can.
Awww bless you, you came all the way over here to Bluesky to make that accusation.

do you remember how you pretended that accepting that antisemitism existed in the Labour party, but also clarifying that it was used as a political tool, was base and crass antisemitism? feels bad to be accused, doesn't it?
I can't believe Global has completely deleted the whole show (22/7/25) on the website. You were not wrong. Chris was not wrong. LBC/Global *is* wrong. See: Haaretz, 2018: archive.is/qgDbR and NYT's Clyde Haberman (for 1000:1): web.archive.org/web/20210316...

How is this allowed - surely some criminal offence has been committed by ykw
Much Respect is due to you James , the revolution isn’t being televised
