This Farage fanatic was so far down the rabbit hole, it almost broke Lewis Goodall’s brain
Lewis Goodall is standing in for James O’Brien in the 10 am to 1 pm slot on LBC this week, and he seems to have attracted the type of caller that made the usual presenter famous.
The unthinking devotion of one caller to St. Nigel of Anywhere-but-Clacton has to be heard to be believed …and you still may not believe it. It’s worth listening to the entire thread of three clips.
"I wouldn't trust you if you said the Sun was going to shine tomorrow."
"If Reform said it would, I'd trust them."Caller John explains the depth of his trust in Nigel Farage to @Lewis_Goodall. pic.twitter.com/jpft92uHjQ

"£7 billion is a huge amount of money."
"It’s like 20% of the Defence budget."
"You really think we spend that on DEI?"Caller John believes the government spends ‘even more than that’, in fact. pic.twitter.com/Kep7TGDzVo

They can never specify that one thing that might suggest they know what they’re talking about, can they? John’s Cult of Farage comments had Twitter/X reacting accordingly.

Not a fucking brain cell in sight from John here.
At least he fits the stereotype of your regular Reform voter then.

A very revealing call. Decades of media manipulation & gaslighting, plus underachieving governments & latterly the toxic crucible of social media, have created characters like John. If a critical mass of Johns are led by the nose by Farage into voting booths by 2029, we're fucked

I think Lewis was much kinder to him than JO’B would have been!

A few years ago I'd have assumed that guy was just making a crank call.
Now? Not so much.

£7bn is a made up figure from a right wing think tank. In fact only £64m is spent on roles determined as DEI throughout central and local government. To get to £7bn there would need to be 47k people on c.£150,000 putting them in the top 1% or earners..

There is no point trying to argue with people like John. You wont get through to them because they look at objective evidence and say "well the researcher and the other 400 researchers who agree with them are lying."
Also the right-wingers are in a cult at this point lmao https://t.co/Ov0zStKjba

Listening in sheer disbelief at the comments being made by a Reform supporter on #LBC. Despite all the objective evidence offered by Lewis Goodall, the caller’s mind is made up. He and Farage are right and everyone else is wrong. Given the support for Reform, this is alarming.

Just turned on @LBC – the guy talking to @lewis_goodall is an absolute moron. It’s scary that there are people this thick that are allowed to vote

@BVDBABY saw an earning opportunity.
Anyone got that guy's email address? Just I'm a bit hard up this month, but I reckon sending this guy an email in broken English telling him he's won the Spanish lottery could prove to be very lucrative for me…

There was always another option.
At first this was one of the most absurd calls I'd heard
By the end of it I was convinced he is a troll

We truly wish we hadn’t seen and heard too many people like that to agree.
