'You can't accept it!' Leave voter CLASHES with LBC host over High Court Brexit ruling
A FURIOUS Leave voter hit out at a radio presenter slamming Remainers who are attempting to block Britain’s exit from the European Union after Thursday’s High Court ruling.
James O'Brien SLAMS caller over Brexit ruling response
James O’Brien branded his guest “insane” during the heated debate as the men clashed over regaining control of British law from Brussels bureaucrats.
After a challenge was upheld by judges in the High Courts, a decision was made that Theresa May doesn’t hold the power to trigger Article 50 without a Parliamentary vote.
The decision sparked outrage from eurosceptics who blasted the ruling and claiming it could prove an “appalling” subversion of the will of the British people, following their historic decision to leave the EU.
Calling to bemoan the ruling, the guest, known only as Chris, was asked to define sovereignty: “Sovereignty, in where a country can have its own laws and not have an organisation above it that dictates what it can do and what it can’t do.”
British law will not let us leave the single market
Host O’Brien responded: “Why are you cross about yesterday? When the British people – who like you want British parliamentary sovereignty and British law applied by British judges in British courts.
“You’ve just rung in to tell me you’re really cross about yesterday because you want British law to be applied by British judges in British courts.
"So you’re really cross about something happening that is exactly what you want?”
The caller rebuked: “British law will not let us leave the single market. It’s Remainers’ law and you guys will not let us leave, you just won’t let us leave.

“You know to leave we have to leave the single market and you can’t accept it, you can’t accept the fact that we are going to leave the single market.
“Do you think anyone will accept to leave the single market? Because they think leaving the single market is the worst thing that could happen to this country and it’s not.”
Countering the points made by his guest, O’Brien once again repeated his line about Leave voters being left “furious” after “British law was applied by British judges in British courts”.
Chris continued: “I’ll give you the answer. Once we’ve triggered Article 50 and then we’ve left the European Union, then we can say we have British law.
“Until then I think it’s corrupt and we need to get it sorted, so the decision needs to remain with the Government and the Prime Minister, and the mandate which was given by the referendum.
“And then after we can accept every single British law. Until we trigger Article 50, there is no British law.”
O’Brien ended the fiery exchange by questioning his caller what would happen if he was to murder because law “doesn’t exist until we trigger Article 50”.
This angered the caller who blasted: “The way you’re going to make this look every working man will call in and be made to look stupid.”
