Is this LBC’s best ever caller?

Shelagh proclaimed the call 'the best call of my entire career', encouraging other to 'be more Darren'.
Aggressive protests have broken out across the UK this week following a stabbing attack in Southport which left three little girls dead and others critically injured, but the Southport community have condemned the violence displayed.
The riots were sparked after misinformation spread online - possibly orchestrated by Russian trolls - that the suspect in the killing was a Muslim asylum seeker.
Keir Starmer said on Thursday that he was launching a special unit to tackle the violent disorder, that would share information across forces and use facial recognition software to identify criminals.

Darren, I'm a 33 yr black man, my parents immigrated here and growing up in this country was the best thing ever until the last 7 years. Your voice gave me hope that there are people that can see what the media is doing. Thank you

We are Together!! I'm a Muslim man born and bred in London.. And I can honestly say I love Britain and this country from the bottom of my heart ♥ it has giving me so much, a job, a family, two beautiful kids, and wife who I love more then myself and two cats!! And hand on heart if this country is ever in trouble and I have to give my life to protect Mother Britain, I will not hesitate for a sec.. And I can't do that for any other country on this planet.. Not where my parents were born or my grandparents were born.. I am a son of mother Britain and that it!!

I worked in a textile mill in the early 70’s and befriended a lad who’d recently arrived from Bangladesh. Sadly he was treated badly by the vast majority of his fellow workers. He followed me like a shadow because I was the only one who treated him with respect. All he wanted was to work hard, pay his taxes and send some of his wages back home. Huge respect for this lad. Hate to think what happened to him after I left. He was very vulnerable.

Also a 55 year old white, English man here. I couldn't love this more. This is what the working class in this country really stand for. We back each other, regardless of race, creed, colour and religion. Hope you read this, mate. Beautiful

Darren is worth 10,000 Lee Andersons. What a man!

I heard this live, and it made me cry. I've heard the clip several times since and it's made me cry each time. Now it's come up in my suggestions and I'm crying again. Darren is exactly what it should be to be British . Not these yobs running around under the cover of darkness robbing, looting, damaging property and frightening already frightened people, not the Tommy Robinsons, not the Nigel Farages. The British people are Darren. At a time when I felt hopeless after those beautiful little girls were murdered in Southport and I watched as my country went up in flames because of hateful, mindless, opportunists, and I couldn't have felt more ashamed, Darren let me know I'm not alone, gave me back my hope and made me proud again. Then, just when I thought I couldn't get more emotional, a Muslim man who felt he had to take his family and leave Britain - the country of his birth - because of the hatred, phoned in and wanted to buy Darren and his family dinner. That's what it's about. That's Britain and the British.

As a 55 year old white man, I wish I had an upbringing like Darren, I had a lot of learning (and still do) to get over the prejudices that were common in our generation. This man needs to be given a platform to help bring some sense to the country.
