James O’Brien on Brexit, Project Fear and the state we’re in now is 3 minutes very well spent

John Plunkett. Updated October 6th, 2021

James O’Brien went viral – not for the first time – with his take on the government’s response to the multiple shortages (take your pick, please) the nation faces right now.

The LBC presenter reflected on the predictions made by so-called ‘Project Fear’, what Brexiters said about them then, and what the government is saying about them now.

And it’s three minutes very well spent.

“Everybody who warned Project Fear was going to happen was shouted down by the people now in power.

“Before your very eyes the Government are saying the predictions were right – and it was part of our plan.”@mrjamesob pic.twitter.com/UTP6LCK7KZ

And here are just a few of the responses to what O’Brien had to say, a monologue which (at the time of writing) has been watched nearly 700,000 times.

If I were him I'd end every sentence using a different microphone so I could do 300 mic drops an hour. https://t.co/r83nuM0oGE

If any Brexiters are still wondering why Remainers are so annoyed, this is a good example and explanation. https://t.co/3NJowQgcWr
