I enjoy your content Redvers, but surely you must know at this point James has no agenda other than his own self-publicity. He doesn't give a toss about anything. He's a troll.

I think he sees himself as an 'influencer', dispensing wisdom to his wide-eyed, adoring audience. Old time preachers at least believed in their gospel, and snake-oil salesmen were in it for the money. But he, as you say, is merely into self promotion.

Quite tragic. I don't know who at LBC keeps him on. I swear to God (or whoever) someone else would get better listening figures. I for one would listen, or at least tune in more. Being 'edgy' at 30 has some merit I suppose, but at 50 it smacks of desperation. TalkTV and GBNews levels of desperation. He's the white pale male Leftie version of Julia Hartley-Brewer. If only he could have the self-awareness to realise it. He must have enough money now to pack it in and potter-around in his garden pumping-out self-help books or something. Give someone else a chance mate. Know what I mean?

He MUST know he never quite 'made' it and now he never will. There's no shame in that. It's no big deal. But I think when you've had the education he has and you have a peer group consisting of people like Martin Lewis there is weird career drive, something mere plebs like you or I can never quite fathom. A fear or 'failure'? FOMO? (Fear of Missing Out)? There's something, I've seen it before. I don't get it, nor have it. Part of me wishes I did. But then I see how fucked-up these people are and I'm glad I don't. I'm rambling ...

He's certainly got FOMO (Fear of Moving On) from Brexit. It's been the making of him and now he needs to hang on to it.

I honestly don't understand why it's so important to him. Surely it hasn't made much difference to his life. He still holidays in Europe; having an Irish birth mother entitles him and his family to Irish passports. If the UK did apply to rejoin the EU it would take years and we'd have to go through another upheaval to reverse the past eight years. He'd be much happier if he admitted defeat and got on with his life.

The problem for Jimbo is that he came to believe he was the seer dispensing his wisdom to the plebs. If only those thicko racist Brexiters woud listen to him! But now even his echo chamber must realise that he is being wrong again and again.

I fear for his mental state as he realises that rather than being a seer he is just a nasty misogynisttic troll.
