This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien.

Four minutes after ten, and I'm terribly sorry, but I'm going to have to withdraw the apology I made just before the news.

I was sincere, but I

realized I was mistaken. Of course, it's not bad news for everybody. We've spent most of the last

two years being told, of course, that people voted to be poorer, that they welcomed the

economic damage that was on the horizon, and even, and I took callers actually saying these exact

words, that their own children's job

losses would be a price worth paying for the brave new Brexit that we would all build together.

So presumably today's great for some people. You'll forgive me for finding that a fairly perverse

and obnoxious perspective to have upon your neighbours and your own children.

But there we are.

If we were to take at face value claims that people knew they were voting for economic

harm, people knew they were voting to be poorer, people knew they were voting for job

losses and unemployment, then presumably you woke up this morning feeling the polar

opposite of how I felt about the fly bee workers and of course

all the attendant employees of industries that will be affected by the airlines collapse overnight.

Oh boy. So what happens? I haven't signed on since I think it was 1991 on Aiton Street in Manchester.

It's not even there anymore.

I think like most old buildings in Manchester, it's a posh hotel. And it was not what you might

describe as an illustrative experience. I was going through my blue period. I remember dad signing

on about the year before, after being made redundant by the Daily Telegraph,

they closed their Birmingham office and Dad didn't want to move to London.
