So, do you have anything to say about it?
I think that it is absolutely disgusting.
You may agree with the caller or you may not, but the way Wright dealt with her was disgusting.
What purpose did it serve? Was it rational or civil? Was there any chance to freely exchange ideas and win people over?
People like Wright don't change minds, they push people to silence and keep them underground.
Wright has always been shit. I'm amazed he got on TV in the first place let alone still have an audience.
That's what I'd call the Jeremy Kyle approach to speaking to people.
I know that he had a show on Channel 5, but I never checked him out. I stopped watching TV when I moved off the Isle of Wight at twenty, only picking up on it when visiting a Travelodge.
I'm particularly disgusted because the LBC is quite a major radio station. To hear someone like this on a mainstream station is shocking to me.
It's one of the reasons why I despise people like this. Brexit occured because the right wing, those with concerns, weren't respected. I'd even argue that Donald Trumps first run happened because of this as well. It's a reoccurring loop that forces centralists to the right.
