Nick Ferrari told this Remainer that he was being "breathtakingly arrogant" for insisting that no-one - even him - knew what they were voting for in the Brexit referendum.

After Nigel Farage claimed that Conservatives were offering Brexit Party candidates jobs to get them to stand down, Nick was asking listeners for their opinion on Mr Farage.

That's when Peter called and said: "People like Nigel Farage, they prey on the ill-informed, uneducated and gullible."

Nick interrupted to tell him: "Straight away, you've been so rude to 17.4 million people."

Peter insisted: "Not all of them knew what they were voting for. The reality is even you didn't know what you were voting for."

But Nick told him: "No, I knew exactly what I was voting for. That is breathtakingly arrogant of you to tell me I didn't know what I was voting for.

"I would never say that to you, I would never say that to anyone. That, respectfully, is so arrogant.

"How can you honestly tell me I didn't know what I was voting for? Really?"

Peter responded: "I've heard your passionate speech about the reasons you've voted for Brexit. But if you would look a bit deeper, you would realise that you casted your vote in order to combat racism in Eastern Europe because you didn't want to be a part of the countries which has too many racists.

"You voted the same way that every single racist in the country voted."

Nick concluded the conversation by telling him: "You just said I'm like all the other racists who voted for Brexit.

"Please consider your language, this is exactly what I we don't need at this time."
