James O'Brien
You reverted my edit, saying "I have removed a statement that said James O'Brien voted for Brexit in 2016. JOB has vociferously campaigned against Brexit since the beginning. The statement was not sourced."

Certainly, JOB is now avidly anti-Brexit, but on one of his recorded LBC phone-ins he stated that he HAD voted for Brexit, hoping for a Canada/Norway agreement. That much is true. (Whether it was said ironically, I cannot say). I've already said it was on an LBC phone in; what more source do you want? Arrivisto (talk) 15:28, 29 April 2022 (UTC)


 * What more do I want? I want some evidence. Considering that JOB has amassed a huge following over the past few years due to his opposition to Brexit, I feel as though it's essential that there is a citation attached to your claim. I did seek a source myself but I couldn't find any reference to JOB admitting he voted for Brexit. Perhaps, as you suggested, such a statement (if true) was meant ironically, but I would still insist that this is evidenced to remove any ambivalence. I believe that leaving such a claim in the article without citation would be disingenuous, misleading, & potentially problematic considering it is so out of step with the position that has propelled him to fame. If you can find the phone-in then perhaps we can can have some clarity and will be able to better qualify your statement. CurtBurr (talk) 15:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
