4:43Now Playing"Absolute clowns." This was how James branded those who deny the impact of coronavirus after one caller told a moving tale of his wife who "feels like a burden" due to shielding.
"I just think it's chaos, and I don't trust anyone," that was how one caller opened with when he started speaking to LBC's James O'Brien.
Peter from Fairford was speaking to LBC in the wake of a change to how local lockdowns happen and the introduction of a system with three tiers.
He told LBC that his wife is in the category of people who are required to shield.
"Some people say to just shield the vulnerable," which Peter branded "simplistic."
He explained the fact his wife needed to shield impacts on his old family, telling James he has a "five-year-old girl," adding his wife would not be able to shield from their child.
"It's hard," Peter said, revealing he is a self-employed photographer and that his daughter "wants to see her friends" and the situation has left his wife feeling "like she's a burden."
James said that she was left feeling "not only a burden" but that she has "been left responsible for her own health, as opposed to it being part of the national health."
James said all the arguments "carry some weight if there is a really first-class test, trace and isolate system in place."
