He usually gives them the chance to try again but they never succeed because they can't, such is the paucity of intelligence on the Right.It is amusing how he is always characterised by the Right as being very Left wing which, if anyone is prepared to listen over a period of time, he clearly isn't.

JOB can make some good points but if some one disagrees he throws his toys out of the pram and bullies and insults them
I voted to leave the EU, if you stated that on his show his insults will flow thick and fast
The things I have heard collective on his rants against thoese of us who voted out and how stupid we are is nothing to do with right or left..its about a bully boy who has no resonible answer to your point
On Thursday (I think at 12) he has the best hour on any on any radio show...…. ? and answer.

Gobber O'Brien is the king of virtue signalers. In once sentence he talks about everyone being nice to each other, in the next he's making slurs about all sorts of people. In short a real Gobshite. He spins more than any spin doctor.

Farage is actually very polite - even with the ones that phone in and give him abuse.

That's why he hates any right of centre newspapers, columnists and commentators and makes snide comments even about so many of his LBC fellow hosts who he strangely sees as all being right wing.

Re: James O Brien
Gobber O'Brien is so dishonest. He spent an hour today slagging off The Mail for covering a story about students removing a poem of Rudyard Kipling from a mural (no it was nothing to do with his cakes - they are exceedingly good)He kept saying the story was on page 31, it was actually on page 21. He was saying they were apoplectically outraged. They weren't, it was the Education Correspondent simplly reporting the incident factually. He was saying the "editorial team" were all over it. They didn't mention it. The columnists were all over it. They didn't mention it.
But O'Brien got a full hour out of it and the evils of The Mail.
Since then other newspapers have covered the story on line, including The Guardian.
