    Neither of us know the full extent of the exchange. There's obviously more to it than in the report by Guido Fawkes, who plainly has a grudge against O'Brien (as it seems do a lot of right-wing people who don't actually know anything about him, other than that he's a 'woke leftie').

    Give him a call. That would be wonderful entertainment.

    That's a good post, Stan. Of course, it probably stems originally from Paritition and before that. It's racial. Some Hindu cricket fans apparently chanted "Death to Pakistan" after India won a match, and then Pakistani youths went into Indian areas with bats and other weapons. There's a big policing issue, because the cops are the jam in the sandwich and the rioters are capable of serious violence. Needs to be right up there in the news, so attention is given and it's quashed. Otherwise, it could spread to Hindu and Muslim strongholds in other parts of the country.

    If he does a program on his life as a pupil of an exclusive public school, and the privileges and advantages, instead of pretending to be down there in the soup kitchen queue, then I most certainly will

    He hasn't denied what Tice and Nawaz allege, has he? He's trying to laugh it off.

    This is where you betray the fact that you actually know nothing about O'Briens programme or the man himself. He talks about his privileged upbringing often.

    When you call him, make sure you call yourself by your Not606 moniker, so we can get full enjoyment.

    Watch out he has a gotcha approach though. How dare he ask people to people to substantiate and/or provide evidence for comments or statements made, terrible journalism.

    I doubt I'd get through. His people vet the callers, just as they scour Twitter for anyone saying anything critical about him. I've never posted anything under his Twitter name, but he or his people have blocked me. That can only be because I've been critical of him on other posts. It's happened to other posters too. The guy clearly has a self-esteem issue and a very thin skin. Which is why when a fellow journalist and a politician come to him to shake his hand, he throws a wobbler and tells them to **** off and kill more people. It's childlike.

    You clearly don't understand the point, so here's an example of what can occur:

    Jobbie to politician - I understand you're in favour of controlling immigration

    Politician - I am

    Jobbie - There was a child drowned last week in Greece. Are you not responsible for that child's death?

    Politician - what do you mean?

    Jobbie - if you had open immigration, that poor little boy would be in England now, playing on the swings and looking forward to living his life as a model citizen. But you've killed him

    You've met him then

    If he blocks me on Twitter, why would he want me to call?

    Thought you didn’t listen to him?

    Can you provide a link to the above I’d be interested in listening to that interview

    Jeez, I'm giving you an example of the Gotcha interviewing that he practises. Why do you think no reputable politician except those in Jobbie's pocket will come on his show?

    Ah so that didn’t happen, apart from in your head.

    is that a gotcha?

    This is disturbing, after police have just killed a woman for not wearing a scarf
