James O’Brien had the perfect burn for a caller pushing a wild EU conspiracy theory

As the Gilets Jaunes protests continue on the streets of Paris, there have been questions about why they haven’t had more coverage in the UK, with some claims that the mainstream media have buried the news.

On Tuesday morning, James O’Brien discussed the fact that strikes are commonplace in France and barely warrant a mention there, as well as pointing out that the mainstream media had, in fact, been covering the protests. He invited listeners to share their views.

One man, Phil, had an astonishing bit of “information” to share. It’s rather special.

James: There’s a list in Brussels about people who aren’t allowed to film in Paris?

Phil: Er …and any other European countries which are anti-EU.

Got it. Totally sounds legit. We particularly enjoyed James’ assessment of Phil at the end; in case you missed it …

“I presume you wear slip-ons, don’t you, ’cause shoe laces are so tricky.”
