YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen a listener accused James O'Brien of politicising coronavirus, this was his passionate response.
James was discussing former Chancellor George Osborne's claim that Boris Johnson has been too absent and needs to show greater leadership over the public health crisis.
But when James criticised the government's response, one listener said James should avoid politicising the situtation.
James however, left him in no doubt that that's exactly what we should be doing.
He said: "Perhaps the stupidest position to adopt is 'You're politicising a pandemic'. Because when you ask 'What is the government doing?' that is apparently politicising a pandemic.
"That is what footballisation of politics looks like. Blind tribalism in this type of context could kill.
