| 0:00.0 | It is four minutes after 10 and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. |
| 0:06.7 | I sort of find myself hovering around the same question from various different angles. |
| 0:13.0 | It's a variation on the theme of how do you deal with people who believe things that aren't true? |
| 0:19.9 | Because the effort they put into believing things that aren't true is superhuman. |
| 0:25.5 | We'll talk a little later this morning to Fraser Knight, |
| 0:27.8 | who was chased essentially out of Birmingham by a group of Asian men last night |
