James O'Brien 'tired' of Nigel Farage's 'racist dog-whistling' | LBC
As Nigel Farage accuses Rishi Sunak of 'not caring about Britain's culture', following the Prime Minister's decision to leave D-Day commemorations early, James O'Brien discusses the Reform UK leader's 'sly' comments.
'As a somewhat tired student of Nigel Farage's tactics, you could predict the racist "dog whistle" would be deployed,' James stresses.
Farage told the BBC on Sunday the PM's action showed he was 'disconnected by class and privilege' from ordinary people.
However, Sunak has apologised profusely for his D-Day blunder and stressed he will 'carry on fighting' to win the election.

The fact the he helped his father in-laws business get 1.5bn license with BP, his wife having shares in his "childcare" scheme, his wife collecting furlough, his wife not paying taxes because of the non-dom status, the New Dehli/India trade deal. He is a hedge fund manager who was part of the global financial crash. So he is only out for himself, simple as that. He isn't interested in the UK or it's population, he is only interested in his family and India connections. The only thing British about him is his name on his birth certificate. He has now also disrepcted not only our veterans, but all the veterans that fought in the war, all for the sake of (apparently) "having an interview that isn't out until wednesday". That tells you all you need to know about that charlatan.

A video popped up on my Facebook feed over the weekend. It was of British paras having their passports stamped by French officials after taking part in a reenactment of the D-Day parachute drop. The reaction from Fartrage fans and other Brexit supporters was astounding. They were absolutely frothing at the mouth with outrage at the French and utterly blind to the fact that this was a direct consequence of the Brexit they had demanded. They are so obsessed with their own opinions that they are totally blind to the fact that borders with another country are shared with that country and they can do whatever they want with it

O Brien politics is one dimensional. Get off the air lad.
There has always been a racial component to being British, not sure why anybody would pretend otherwise. Some people push civic nationalism and pretend you can be just like the natives by getting a passport, which of course is nonsense. Redefining British to mean citizenship is nothing more than a totalitarian opinion. Non English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish people are 0% British in any real sense of the word. If you pretend Britishness is a passport then anybody who obtains one 5 minutes ago is apparently just as British which makes zero sense. Being British was never the same as something like being American etc. You cant be British unless you come from English, Scottish, Welsh and/ or Irish background. Civic identities are bogus, even in the case of the USA where the definition of being American changes state by state.

He does doesn’t he. This is why there are such different world-views opening up and we’re getting so divided. It happens on the right too, people’s own ideas just seem so obvious to themselves and backed up by those around them. He definitely needs to hear and think about the other side to this and the experience of contradiction and double-standards linked multiculturalism and now this critical race theory. It’s the ideas that are bad, not the people because I genuinely see both sides on this and feel it’s a growing pain for us as a nation. And as crass as Farage can be, it’s him getting us to talk to each other more, not people in their left wing echo-chambers shutting down discussions in case we cannot handle it.

It's actually not racism to call out ILLEGAL migration. Believe it ir not us 'far right ' like migration but what we do not like is illegal migration when we have no Idea who is coming into the country. Surely that's common sense. I lived abroad for years and believe it or not, i had to prove who i was to get residence (and still paid tax in the UK). Please have some balance rather than insulting us.

Starkey was right.. Sunak proved it.
Sunak is not British, he is ethnically Indian. He follows an Indian religion, his parents would undoubtedly have brought him up as a mirror of their own Indian cultural origins. The fact he went to the place the Titanic was built at the very start of his campaign shows a deep lack of understanding of British culture; for all his expensive education.

There is only one person who constantly goes on about racism - the loudest dog whistler of all of them is the presenter himself.
My neighbour, a very kind and sweet old english lady, once told me and my wife that we "are a lot like us". I'm not of colour. Indeed, I'm a portuguese citizen, with very northern european ancestry and the looks to prove it and have a fairly decent knowledge of the english language, to the point of being mistaken for a british citizen. I lived in the UK for many years, in a "very green and very white" village in the Cotswolds. People like my neighbour have no clue of how insulting they can be even when they're "being nice".
I'm white and british born. My parents and grandparents were all white and british born. Their parents and grandparents were too. Im prepared to bet their parents were too. I think I'm as british as any other british person. I don't understand british culture either. But i do know that bigotry and intolerance aren't fundamental to it.

James, you're cornering yourself by asking what the difference is between Tice and Sunak with only color being the implied answer. The difference to me is Sunak is not on board with Nigel's agenda and Tice obviously is. I don't think Nigel would care what color the PM was if they are in his way. It's base emotions that all others are built on. His anger dressed up in jealousy of Rishi's accomplishments and the lack of his own is the foundation of Nigel's motivations here. Always remember that racism is a projection of fear and anger. It isn't a base emotion. You can read a person better if you traverse the acts back to these base emotions.

Remember the Brexit distinction between somewhere people and anywhere people. Sunak is clearly an anywhere person with his wealth and American connections. That alone puts him out of step with the party of Brexit and is enough grounds for these accusations. On a lighter level in the changing room of my local gym, I was told that my mildly expressed remainer views were treasonous and put my Britishness in question. And yes my brother with his Cambridge first was advised by the University against joining the Foreign Office because his father was born in Berlin.
