James O'Brien managed to completely change this man's views on immigration

A listener to LBC's James O'Brien says he has completely changed his mind about immigration after following his show.

James from Southend, who described himself as a "20st, white, skinhead British guy", in a call on Thursday morning explained how the host had helped him "see the light".


He said:

It was such a good show. I went back and spoke to my wife and we actually took time out to sit down and try to work out how immigration has made our life worse.

And let me tell your listeners who are concrete that immigration is worse: if it wasn't for the people who are willing to work in the warehouses, the people who are willing to work in the hospitals, number one I wouldn't actually have as much work as a courier as what I do have; and number two, my wife would be in a wheelchair.

So if you're an immigrant, and you want to come to this country and you want to contribute, you crack on.

In reply, O'Brien said: "Thank you. That's why I get out of bed in the mornings."
