Comments by "Alex" (@Alex-cw3rz) on "Channel 4 News" channel.

  1. As an island nation these are a no brainer. No need to rely on gas and oil from elsewhwre that needs refining. Edit : the first comment in the thread talks about cost and then recommends the most expensive (by up to over 14 times the cost) non fossil fuel emitting power generation source per megawatt/hr and that's not even dealing with the nuclear waste which costs further billions.

  2. Starmer : "how are we to afford the tax cuts" Truss : "Well I instituted an energy bill plan that will also add £150 billion on the debt as well instead of a windfall tax"
    154
  3. I think something else that should be looked at is he is giving 10 milliom to the tories and got 100s of millions in contracts, this could be corruption
    116
  4. How can this be allowed to occur in the 21st century
    114
  5. How can anybody agree with this
    109
  6. An apology for leaving D-day ceremony's early is not good enough, the gall to do it in the first place shows how little he cares for the country.
    102
  7. I find it insane how in all these videos how stoic and calm everyone is, a bomb goes off and nobody even flinches, even people speaking is so monotone and matter of fact in their delivery
    85
  8. Levy has this amazing ability to just switch to a different talking point does he know no shame.
    76
  9. 14 years of the degradation of prisons and not one word from the media as soon as Labour get in it's a terrible crisis horrible etc. The cover for the tories over this period of time was awful
    69
  10. How can anyone see this as right
    68
  11. Not sure why rishi turns up to these anymore he gets bodied every week
    65
  12. Has the report of UNRWA employees being involved in october 7th that Isreal claimed it had, ever been released?
    64
  13. This is great journalism
    57
  14. Do you see why they did it there are already people claiming to break up the BBC
    56
  15. There needs to be prison sentences for this.
    53
  16. Journalists : "but have you thought that strikes like mean work won't be done" that's the entire point of a strike!
    52
  17. Just remember in 2010 the NHS had it's highest satisfaction rating in history, look at it now 12 years of tory rule. Just to point out when they say they spend to much on the NHS, we spend 4 times less per patient than the USA. Why don't we go to 3.5x and get this sorted.
    46
  18. No parties perfect but it's weird how so many of the reform candiates, turn out to be racists.
    45
  19. Levy is perfect example of cognative dissonance.
    42
  20. This is such a sad situation
    37
  21. They are the lowest of the low, they were fine with people d ying, for their own personal greed
    34
  22. The average tax burden is the highest it's been since WW2. Yet the real (collected) top rate of tax is the lowest it's been since WW2 and corporation tax up until a year ago was at a 50 year low.
    33
  23. 4:53 "petty politics" half of starmers questions were about the failures in relation to a m urder, that was not petty politics. Tax dodgers being in charge of the tax system is also not petty politics either to be honest.
    32
  24. The fact people are trying to justify this is horrif ying.
    32
  25. It's just like prohibition in the USA, making dr ugs illegal does not reduce use, it just makes very poweful organised gangs and everytime you destroy one gang you have made the others stronger. To the point where now we have just a few gangs in Ecuador and this awful situation, where they are so powerful there are multinational gang wars.
    31
  26. ​​ @oracle8589  even under Tony Blair this country was doing so much better, unlike now where nothing works. It's fascinating please tell me why your history is so bad.
    30
  27. Austerity factually cannot lead to things getting better.
    30
  28. I think anyone would be honoured to be invited to such a momentous and important occasion and for him to just leave is unbelievably disrespectful.
    30
  29. This is the most reliable energy on the planet, we should harness it.
    29
  30. Channel 4 has done great journalism on this conflict
    27
  31. Over 50 percent of gaza are under the age of 18. Not just that, this question was before last week it was 57% not 75% and it said do you support Hamas over Israel which when you think under UN resolutions Israel is illegally occupying palastianian land what do you expect.
    27
  32. Both this war and the war in Ukraine are of course horrible, however if you look at civilian de aths, by mid next week not even a month into this conflict it is estimated to exceed that of Ukraine civilians after over 600 days of war and that's from the Russian government who disregards human life. Casualties as a whole are already higher in gaza and that was a few days ago.
    25
  33. This should have prison sentences
    24
  34. Just remember austerity doubled the debt and lead to a decade of no economic growth and the disaster in all our government departments. It is not the answer.
    24
  35. If shots were not fired why do we see gazan civilians with bullets in them, were the aid trucks firing bullets?
    24
  36. Firstly 3 people protested but it was only the black ones who were expelled. Secondly not once in Tennessee history have members been expelled for protesting.
    24
  37. This is criminal incompetence
    23
  38. 2:28 This is the great thing about renewables it's a job creator and local economy booster and them we can sell it across the world and make lots of money
    23
  39. Remember this is the west bank, the palastianian authority here literally fought hamas, yet this is how isreal treats them.
    19
  40. Well done Channel 4 I wish more news channels would do this
    17
  41. Rishi is weak!
    17
  42. That was a beatiful line "if your not going to answer my questions, your not going to be allowed to spew your propaganda bit afterwards"
    17
  43. Great video
    17
  44. Great journalism
    17
  45. Everyone needs to know this, everyone needs to know the disregard for human life. They don't care about this country they care about their bank accounts.
    15
  46. ​ @SafetyBriefer  did you not watch the video people moving South so not human shields are being slaughtered by the IDF as well. Human shields is just used an excuse for you to parrot and ignore all the other palastianian civilians k illed, that were not with hamas.
    14
  47. 22:35 this is factually incorrect, the country with the highest inward investment is France and it's corporation tax is 27.5% ours is 19% and the uprate is lower than France.
    13
  48. Didn't know it was shadow government questions
    13
  49.  @jasondevon481  7.6 million people die every year from malnutrition alone in capitalist nations, so what you cliam it took communist country's 100 years to do, it takes capitalism 11... do you want to rethink your statement now?
    12
  50. Don't forget, the massive cuts to education funding and all the workforce that have left due to poor pay and brexit.
    12
  51. He should be in prison as well as all of the people in the government.
    11
  52.  @mrfr87  you know what reliable means, you've literally said it happens every day 🤦‍♂️ that is reliable as it comes. Also tide doesn't stop or that would mean the moon would stop for 12 hours a day. The only time tide is moving only slowly is for about half an hour at high tide when there is slack tide. Due to water being 800 times denser than air the times for the tide means that it produces a lot of energy.
    11
  53. The fact a 16 year old grunt in the army has no problem with these "split second decisions" yet fully grown men who took the job claim that being held accountable for their actions is too mucb responsibility is baffling. This is what happens when you moddie coddle the police you say to them your job is to protect and serve yourself not the community.
    11
  54. Isreal could absolve itself by just realising the entire drone footage rather than editing it, if they are telling the truth.
    11
  55. I think the most important point made is the decrease in planning officers over the last 13 years due to tory cuts. You can have planning officers at times dealing with over 100 cases at once and as he said they have 8 weeks to be sorted. That is neighbour consultation, site visit, parish Council consultation, other consultation such as highways, environmental etc. Catch up if something isn't correct in the application, do a site visit, committee hearings, Write a 1,500 word report and they have just over 2 hours to dedicate to each case. Of course there will be over runs. This is compounded as the stress means planning officers leave and then more cases go onto the ones left. One thing you'll notice if you ever enter a planning department is most of the men are bald, because they are working in a very stressful environment, due to budget cuts, angry applicants and neighbours etc.
    11
  56. To disrespect someone's de ad daughter, is not showing any level of respect at all and trying to claim otherwise, just Shoes Total contempt for the rest of the country as well.
    11
  57. He's using this maths thing as a distraction
    10
  58.  @bigfan1041  some of the best satire ever made apart from the stuff Chris Morris has done (which isn't nihilist), is Yes Minister that isn't nihilist either. Your analysis is extremely flawed, I guess some nihilism can be good, just non that I can think of.
    10
  59. Damn I have never seen Mogg get so dismantled in his few interviews he ever does. I see why now, it's totally emba rrassing for him.
    10
  60. I love how they called Mogg a Boris Johnson Super Fan
    10
  61. All they had to do was call a farmer any farmer or farm worker who has worked on cows and this situation would be over but these id iots do this.
    10
  62. Sorry you do know the country this is right, Argentina, Argentina has not tried the opposite. I.e. investing in the country.

  63. ​ MyStonefish  yes

  64. No it really was all staged to look like he was pissed, both of them have acted before so they knew what they were doing Krishnan was request cause he was in Shaun Of the Dead. read the description and in a convoluted way it tells you there.
    9
  65. ​ @stevenEggnChips  we've known about this problem for 5 years so yes of course you would blame the tories they were in power and due to laziness and incompetence, we have to pay for the schools to be fixed the extra due to the state they are in and for emergency alternative schooling.
    9
  66. There should be prison sentences, firing and huge fines.
    9
  67. Saying policies of Gordon brown is untrue as Gordon brown didn't cut spending he invested in spending.
    9
  68. People breaking terms of service is different to e lon crying because people hurt his feelings. Let alone the fact studies on twitter show it had a bias towards the right wing. That is why the twitter files, mentioned 4 accounts and not the entire data set.
    9
  69. This should be shocking
    8
  70. Why was an unelected person with so much power
    8
  71. What the speaker did was positive it is better to be able to have more votes than less. I think everyone who is not a politican who wants to trip up an opponent in silly party politics (when you consider the issue at hand) would care.
    8
  72. ​ @WSMK-oz6ru  when was running or being in a country illegally punishable by de ath?
    8
  73. Just remember austerity hurts the economy Mieli is economically illiterate. Look at the lost decade of growth and almost going into a double dip recession in the UK.
    8
  74. 2 black guys expelled the 1 white women not expelled all three did the same protest. Now I know hearing the word race upsets you but this is as clear a case as it gets.
    8
  75. Remember is no hamas in the west bank, in fact the palastianian authority fought hamas.
    8
  76. Genuinely blood boiling
    7
  77. 2 state solution, it's actually a very easy end, Israel stop occupying lands designated by the UN as palastianian and this would all be over.
    7
  78. Genuinely disgusting
    7
  79. The tories know no shame
    7
  80. There was a private school near me that became a state school, while a private school one of the buildings a temporary structure built in the 1980s was not used as it was unsafe, now it's a state school the building is back in use with full classrooms. You see what kind of people the Tories think deserve to be in safe conditions. Also the reason it went from Priavte to State is bascially because of the 2008 recession in 2010 the Tories thought everyone espcially in North, who was not involved in causing the recession shall be punished for it, so the number of students sharply declined as household budgets were squeezed.
    7
  81. 1:41 that Argentinian Aircraft has a decal of the Falklands and South Georgia and it says 1st of may above it, I'm guessing a reference to when the war heated up.
    7
  82. 1:20 Unfortunately when it's 200-500 dead and 800 wounded per day, it seems, it's the Ukrainian who are Unfortunately being worn down before the retreat. Being Artillery Duels this puts the fight massively in Russias favour, I doubt they are suffering many casualties due to this being their wheelhouse.
    7
  83. Just remember the reason we haven't built any reservoirs in 30 years is because Maggie in her infinite wisdom sold off our water at 33% of it'd value and made us pay off it's debts as well. Claiming huge investment would come, as always with almost everything she said the opposite happened and not 1 reservoir has been built since water went private
    7
  84. Why is Eylon Levy on these shows all he does is l ie and not listen to anything being said. If the point is to marvel at the extents conganitive dissonance can go that's one thing. But when you treat him as an honest interlocutor that is a failure of journalistic ethics.
    7
  85. Didn't watch the video did you?
    6
  86. "Warning" 1.1 million people having to move in less than 24 hours in a warzone to an area already overcrowded area, that is also being bombarded, with no transport, in a city reduced to rubble is a humanitarian disaster.
    6
  87. The fact that Isreali official was saying that they didn't bom b it, then 20 seconds later says ah it was probably a tunnel or something and isreal did do it. He then justifys it by saying maybe some hamas person di ed, although he doesn't know. which either way is collective punishment and a war crime.
    6
  88. 3:03 if they are saying this tank was knocked out, that's a Ukrainian tank a T-84
    6
  89. I'm not a fan of Hoyle, but what he did is positive, before you could only have two votes this allowed for more, surely that is better. Unless underhand politics is your only hope.
    6
  90.  @ukwatotskuhide270  you talk about cost and then recommend nuclear the most expensive non fossil fuel emitting power generation on planet earth per kilowatt of power generation a year. Which is mutiple times more expensive over 14 times more expensive in some cases and that's not even including nuclear waste which costs extra billions to deal with. Not just that you recommend an experimental type of the most expensive power source 🤦‍♂️
    6
  91. 3:16 I know she is trying to flatter western nations for more aid. However in reality it is the 100+ batteries of S-300 SAM's that is the backbone of Ukraines air defences and is one of the major reasons Ukraine is still able to fight in the open with less threat from air attacks due to the brilliant S-300 and other SAM systems.
    6
  92. Since privatisation not one new reservoir has been built and the population has grown by 10 million since then
    6
  93. Garentuee this changes not one reform voters mind
    6
  94. A new low
    6
  95. He did, he said it on his twitter, not on match of the day
    5
  96. 3 A levels was already stressful enough
    5
  97. ​ @carolseven3802  and you think netanyahu does, that man who assassinated a political rival trying to end the conflict.
    5
  98.  @matheusibanez  Portland Oregon hasn't legalised drugs. Portugal has and it was a major success, please do some research
    5
  99. This is ridiculous we have no prison places left and the prisons we have are falling apart.
    5
  100. Nea Emrys he didn't just get it he was in on it, he's acted before and was picked by Ayowade for that reason.
    5
  101. Brilliant video
    5
  102. This is Tory mismanagement for you, instead of solving these issues when they arose they left it to the last minute meaning we still have to pay for all these schools plus extra for the worse comdition they are in and on top of that the costs to teach these children.
    5
  103. I'd love this to be true, but this was said before a couple of cities fell to Russia.
    5
  104. "Doesn't have a plan, yet also costs £2,000" lies often contradict each others
    5
  105.  @fluchschule  the Warsaw Ghetto also had the polish resistance in it, I guess Germany didn't control it then... Oh wait. And just to anticipate your obfuscation hamas and the Polish resistance are different but they were both groups in nominal control of a piece of land which was on a wider scale controlled by another.
    5
  106.  @melgillham462  they don't have a sea port it was bombed by Isreal, one crossing into a desert is not particularly helpful when it is also blocked at times.
    5
  107. How is restricting access and occupying land. Letting them have a state?
    5
  108. Improve? You do know austerity doesn't work right. For example it was done in the UK claiming to be done to reduce debt yet debt skyrocketed by 1 trillion. Because austerity caused a lost decade of economic growth, due to a lack of government investment and assistance which means less spending in the economy.
    5
  109.  @Dewaters65  sorry are you genuinely trying to claim austerity is what helped out Ireland, what's your evidence for that?
    5
  110. Why is isreal not releasing the drone footage
    5
  111. These images will become world famous
    5
  112. Remember the reason these aid convoys are not well managed is becsuse gazan police are targeted by the IDF, therefore they cannot control the distribution and passage of the convoys.
    5
  113. ​ @DavidVanHelden1  why do you say such mor onic things?
    5
  114.  @user-ug8wx5er1w  good joke
    5
  115. Not to mention go back over the last 70 years and tell me with a straight face Israel has tried it's best to not hit civilians.
    4
  116. Your examples are two sitcoms and a chat show, and comparing that to a dark comedy satire... If you don't think there's enough satire about make your own show. Do I think comedy has gone down hill, yes. But that's because of the proliferation of online media, the amount money in comedy now and 100% not what you seem to be insinuating.
    4
  117.  @osscar29  not really, only if you don't know what a devils advocate is and cannot see that Peterson was constantly begging the question which is very disengenous. If you are not familiar with Peterson's pseudo intellectual ideas going into the interview he just looks insane, a man who cannot resist to go an inane rants and in the entire things says nothing as he won't ever give an actual answer.

  118. We don't live in a zero sum game, immigrants grow the economy and automatically pay taxes. I can garentuee you wouldn't say we should reduce the number of babies born in the UK.

  119. Next they'll be saying she bought 2 for the price of 1 beans, meaning she only payed half the amount of VAT.
    4
  120.  @speedymccreedy8785  why would they need subsidies, they aren't oil companies. The jobs are in building them, maintenance of most power stations is relatively low compared to the power generated for all forms of energy, in terms of Hydroelectric practically nonexistent, I wouldn't call that a disadvantage, it reduces cost for the consumers. Furthermore why would it disintegrate are you just pretending there is a problem so that you don't have to challenge your views.

  121. Anyone who claims Labour and the Tories are the same, got swirlied in school. Labour are not perfect but we didn't have this utter incompetence and laziness. In fact we had huge investment in school under the last labour government.

  122.  @promecio8085  how?
    4
  123. Thank you channel 4 for your journalism
    4
  124. It will not work, as it doesn't reduce demand. Just like in the US Prohibition didn't reduce drinking it just made very poweful gangs. Just like in Equador you crush one gang all you do is make another more powerful, to the point where there are just a few now and are in multinational gang wars. Legalisation coupled with regulation like we have seen be exceptionally successful in Portugal is the way forward.

  125. How many billions have been lost in tourism due to water companies there needs to be fines, prison sentences
    4
  126. Hilarious looking at the comments Crying "they won't talk about previous banning" who 3:45 they literally talk about it.
    4
  127. Just keep in mind during the last local election there was not one case of election fraud, and now over 5,000 people have been disenfranchised. Talking election fraud that is 5,000 votes which in total could be 20+ council seat swing easily. Facrually the Tories are stealing elections.
    3
  128. Yeah because people have short term memory and don't look at the fact that even under Blair everything in the UK was better. They just think everyone's the same because they are unthinking.
    3
  129. And the tory government recently repealed the law that allowed him too do this, we truly have entered some dark times. If it happened today all of those children would be dead, because of the callousness of our government

  130. We need an election now

  135. 3:12 unfortunately this is just not true bm-27, bm-30 and Uragan-1m have the same range as the maximum of the M142 HIMARS which according to this news article they are not even getting, in fact Ukraine has Vilkha and Bm-30's already match and exceed the new artillery systems. The other issue is in the package is no mention of counter battery radar, maybe they will be using Ukrainian (soviet/russian origin) ones and somehow connecting them. If they are using American Counter battery units, which are just not mentioned. It is an issue as American Counter Battery radar is already present in Ukraine, but the only notable thing that has happened with them, is the Russians countering and destroying them.

  136. Do you remember when the first hospital strike occurrd and Isreal denied it happened and governments just went along with it, look at it now, of the 30+ hospitals not one hasn't been attacked by IDF troops.
    3
  137. 17:48 he l ied mutiple times, so I will not take anything he says as truthful. It is actually still unknown who fired the rocket, it was a misreporting that had a higher de ath toll. The health ministry said 500 casualties, but it was reported as 500 dead, intrestingly enough independent assessment puts it at 491 casualties.

  138.  @howardchambers9679  is this comment meant to be a joke?

  141. Brilliant Video

  142. so basically the solution to this is relatively simple immigration, but due to how toxic our political systems is, especially with the hounds who blame immigrants for everything and love brexit. we can't solve the problem.

  143.  @elchoppo1160  well it's not an analogy, it's a joke... if it makes you feel less upset, substitute beans for a two for one pizza deal from dominoes you happy now?

  144.  @davidhaylett1810  yeah as someone else said the fact you are trying to say that beergate something that at this point is 99% certain to be legal to what Boris did which was a party at least once a week of which almost all were illegal, is baffling. You've bought into propaganda if you are going to do the boths siding they are all the same nonsense, that only helps out the worst in society. Also back stabbers, Boris himself back stabbed May but you Don't have the vitriol to him.

  145. you okay

  147.  @concinnus  the UK has a whole has great tidal currents.

  148. ​​ @bushwhackeddos.2703  Firstly Labour when they were last in government they invested heavily in schools for example the School's for the Future which was getting rid of this concrete and the Tories scrapped it. On the topic of Neo-Liberalism Labour's Transport and energy plan is nationalisation which is antithetical to Neo-liberalism. Why would you make a comment so easy to debunk.

  149. Sorry Boris won the 2019 election woth a promise of 40 new hospitals and now apparently by 2030 some hospitals may have got refurbishments!

  150.  @lee9650  army personnel are scrutinised, they can go to prison for war crimes if they shoot an innocent person with no justification, they got harsher punishment than police 🤦‍♂️
    3
  151. So you are saying the police should be above the law, that's called a police state.

  152. Since 2019 taxes have gone up by £13,000 for the average family
    3
  153.  @JustMe99999  it is occupying palastianian land by the UN. The level of obfuscation you had to do shows that you don't care about reality. Which makes me wonder what went wrong in your life.
    3
  154.  @crown9413  no central government didn't increase in real terms it was also cut. Kanyesian economics is newer than austerity and has been proven correct, can you provide an example of it being disproven. I'll give you one although it does sort of just destroy the point of the argument as it is irrefutable the New Deal in 1933. I don't think you know what opitunity cost means and investing is better for the short and long term health of the economy than "savings". Which due to the economic slump austerity causes quickly turn into more debt or tax rises as you have to offset the lack of activity in the economy. Ah right so you aren't being serious, you are talking about vague nonsense that doesn't even exist and to top it off you don't even understand how corporation tax works 🤦‍♂️ corporation tax is only taken in profits, profits are post investment meaning the lower the tax, the less incentive to invest in your company. Whereas the higher the tax the more incentive to invest as it lowers your tax bill. Do you get that? Kaynesian economics has not been implemented in the UK since the 1960s, my god you are so out of your depth, why are you here when you have so little knowledge on the topic? Can you answer this as I'm interested in how your mind works, where you get this unearned confidence. Imagine claiming we have had kanyesian economics over the past 20 years what a baffling igno rant human being you are.

  155.  @ItsJustRyan89  well seen as every time that economic theory has been put into practice it was a success and every time austerity has been tried it has been a failure. I think I'd go for the theory that has been proved. "Classical economist's" were all de ad by the time Kaynes proved they were wrong. Not just in theory but in practice. This is why I do patronise you, you know nothing about economics. Yet you speak so confidently. It's just em barrassing.

  156.  @ItsJustRyan89  rail, road, bus. The fact I have to spell it out is baffling. Look at the investment in London on transport compared to the rest of the nation. Can you stop beinh vague about the place name it, so I can inspect what you are claiming, also private bus company is not an improvement. Did you genuinely just say Council spending cannot attract new businesses 🤦‍♂️ This is why you shouldn't talk on topics you are so out of your depth on.
    3
  157.  @ItsJustRyan89  sorry how is real terms cuts to councils of 40% not going to cause issues with those towns. Do you think you going to get investment in a place that hasn't had any transport investment for 20 years... It seems you need to learn some basic economics before speaking.

  158.  @crown9413 of cause the government will have a record number of employees. The population has grown since 2010, if you go per capita it has shrunk. The UK has record tax rate, however not record public spending. It has high tax rates because austerity caused slumps in spending and investment, which meant the government had to up taxes to get in the amount of money it needed. This is why austerity is economically illiterate.

  227.  @Build_Secrets  more taxation on the wealthiest, we have the highest tax burden on the average person since ww2 yet the lowest top rate of tax since WW2. "Cut government spending and focus on infrastructure" can you get any more oxymoronic. That is an increase in government spending especially with how bad our infrastructure has gotten due to underfunding the government. Business investment is pre-tax, if you want to encourage investment you need to increase tax, as it means the business is encouraged to keep the money in the business and invest, rather than going for profit which a lower tax rate would encourage. It takes years to train, therefore we need immigration while we train people up. Which oh yeah will require more government spending on education. But that is fine because every pound spent on education, £8 is created in the economy. Automation is a meaningless platitude, what automation and how does that help out people in the country.

  232.  @ukwatotskuhide270  1. well it does because even as Tidal is cheaper than natural gas which our energy price is pegged to. 2. Yeah because our energy prices are pegged to which ever energy is the most expensive at the time. 3. The biggest cost for renewable is set up as well and is a lot cheaper than nuclear. Can you give an example where nuclear has been built cheaper than other forms of energy due to mass construction of nuclear? 4. Sorry I had to come back to this after laughing firstly 200 is a tiny number in terms of power generation. Secondly nuclear power on naval vessels is not how you make them on land 🤦‍♂️ You are even out of your depth on something you want to build tens of thousands of. Tidal is experimental but the difference is making a blade spin under water is a bit different than a small scale nuclear powerplant...
    2
  233.  @mrfr87  nuclear is the most expensive non fossil fuel emitting power generation in the world per kilowatt yearly production mutiple times that of any renewable source and that is before you build the waste storage facilities which cost billions. It has pitfalls in terms of location which it needs huge amounts of water for example, as it is a steam engine. The down time in renewables is actually easily solved by pumped storage with Hydroelectric. Even historically our peak power in the UK was not supplied by fossil fuels or nuclear it was Hydroelectric with electric mountain. Instant power when it is needed which cannot be said for nuclear, which has quite a lot of checks which can include refusal to move the rods at that time.

  243.  @ItsJustRyan89  I'm sorry I was rude, I'm just getting tired of having to explain GCSE economics to people who know nothing about economics, yet constantly and confidently spout economically illiterate nonsense. Because what has the late 1800s got to do with our conversation. Except that the growth back then was only possible due to transport links, allowing for the city to expand further afield, damn thanks for giving me another argument. Oh and don't think I haven't noticed that you have obfuscated and dropped the entire conversation
    2
  244.  @ItsJustRyan89  so you are running away because you have no argument, you'll notice my first sentence points out that it maybe a theory but has worked in practice. Yet you are focusing not on this new information, but the fact that I pointed out this is new information to you. So you pretend I said nothing new, which is ironically very childish reaction. Hopefully you'll reflect on this conversation at some point in the future when you're calm and realise that maybe you should do a modicum of research before talking on a topic.

  245.  @ItsJustRyan89  Council spending is used to attract businesses, sometimes it doesn't work out, often it does. There you go, does that still upset you, do I need to be more vague to make you not consider it a strawman, which I don't think you know the meaning of. You are acting like they are separate when they are entwined, London having such good public transport allows it to grow exponentially. As you said you are so knowledgeable on economics, so you'd have to admit I'm correct as a huge success story and reason the Isle of Dogs worked was the DLR. Something you get taught in GCSE economics. Which I'm sure you are well above that level... So why weren't you thinking of this famous example?

  249.  @sebastienholmes548  government spending in real terms has gone down since 2010, council budgets have been cut by 40%. A lack of government spending and leaving the EU have caused us to go into an economic slump. I would ask how in your economically illiterate mind you think government spending will cause an economic slump?
    2
  250.  @charly7937  look at how private industry taking over essential services has worked out in the UK. Do I even have to mention the water companies... Not to mention if a private company can do that business, that means there is money to be made, therefore It wouldn't be adding debt onto the government as it would be profitable. Just think before you write. No it's probably people who understand basic economics and can see the how disastrous austerity was in the UK or how shock therapy in Russia and eastern europe went so badly that some places still haven't recovered economically to this day. Can you give an example of austerity or shock therapy working, except for the few oligarchs it creates that raid the nations in question.

  251.  @tjmarx  how is it not correct?

They did not just start blasting and blow up every city in their way k ill thousands of civilians and find no hostages, except when they did small missions that have low civilian casaulty rates, almost like k illing all those civilians is just a sick and twisted version of revenge.

  277.  @unionjackjackson4352  very nieve of you to assume, we are the only country that need foreign doctors & nurses, that pay well... Those other nations such as France and Germany pay similar often more and do not require that paperwork, which is not simple and is temporary as well. Australia and New Zealand wages are double and require similar amounts of paperwork as the UK. The shortage is worse now than before, I said "also brexit" not "only", do you understand now? You can't be this du mb? When in the EU we had easy access to doctors and Nurses, outside it requires tons of paperwork, short term visas that have to be renewed and therefore undesirable. This means we also are now in competition with nations outside of Europe now on top. We also have the issue that the further someone has to travel the less likely they will do it due to expensive which is an issue when looking for nurses. Do you get it now?
    2
  278.  @unionjackjackson4352  yeah thousands left after brexit and due to the new visa system nurses and doctors are not coming because of the extra paper work. It's even worse in Vetenary, near me due to the visa the vet for cows and horses lives in France and has fly over on a 2 week visa, because there aren't enough vets here. It's ridiculous and costs have shot up.

It's under funding, poor efficiency by having private contracts and the need for a larger workforce, when the current government, has frozen pay, is anti-immigrant and has destroyed education.

Both this war and the war in Ukraine are of course horrible, however if you look at civilian de aths, by mid next week not even a month into this conflict it is estimated to exceed that of Ukraine civilians after over 600 days of war and that's from the Russian government who disregards human life. Casualties as a whole are already higher in gaza and that was a few days ago.

The US doesn't really have many long range options and Ukraine has a lot of short range ballistic missiles (long range compared to artillery), it probably doesn't use them much, as the launch site is much easier to spot for Russian Aircraft and the missiles are more likely to be taken out by SAM'S with their longer distance.

  336.  @turbolevo8703  it was caused by austerity, austerity caused a downturn in the economy (the reason we almost had a double dip recession). This meant that debt had to be taken out to cover the short fall due to the less tax revenues from the stagnant economy coupled with tax cuts. If it was borrow to invest, what was invested in, go on. What major investment occured last 14 years to double the debt... Let alone claiming borrow to invest is not nonsense, is utterly laughable. If you had a mortgage and house went up in value you have proved yourself wrong. I could go on but it is so baffling that you said that, I'm going to leave it here.

  337.  @PJH13  Just to preface this you want a discussion on why top rate of tax should obviously be risen. Yet your comment is intent on obfuscating the topic, why are you doing that? Your second paragraph is nonsencial, you've jumped the type of tax, to well not prove your point. Do you know you keep on doing this, you did this in the last comment as well. Your third paragraph says nothing. As you are acting like the world started in 2010. The top rate of tax has dropped dramatically. From 1945 to 1989. Now do you want to have a discussion on the very basic economic merits of raising tax on the wealthy or are you going to continue to obfuscate? I find it baffling that you would admit to trusting the IFS, which does not publish who funds it and is constantly critiqued by actual economists. For it's very basic errors and focus on well as you have shown, statistics devoid of any substance. Rather than what that means in, historical, society, economic or political impact. Even basic economic realty such as marginal propensity to consume are omitted.

  338.  @meetkichu  the point isn't emulate WW2 the point is that tax has been shifted from the people with the broadest shoulders who though what makes them money take a lot more from the government I.e. Bazos Internet, national Grid, roads all provided by the government Bozos would not have single dollar without them. Let alone the economic reality of Marginal propensity to consume, in which the less you have a higher percentage of your income you spend, whereas the richer you are the less you spend.

  339.  @PJH13  okay firstly I'm talking about the actual collect rate, let alone let's pretend we were even talking about the same thing you are quibbling over 5% when I'm talking the difference of 54.25%... The average tax burden is all taxes combined not just income tax 🤦‍♂️ talk about misinformation mine was 5% if we pretend all 45% was collected and your one wasn't even the same topic.

  354. Firstly the CEO does not discover things they are a manager not a worker. Secondly most modern funding is government funded so they don't care about the money made Thirdly If in their R&D section someone invented an anti-itching cream. They would know their competitors will also be able to developed one. Therefore they will release it now, to prevent them from losing all customers they may have had in that industry if they were even that big into itching cream in the first place. Collusion is illegal and you may claim it happens, yes it does it's often an open secret because it involves so many people. Therefore if it was something very big it would be properly investigated at that point.

  360.  @tjmarx  your analogy is so childishly simplified, it's hilarious. A government doesn't work like that. Governments constantly have inflows and outflows of money, governments have giant amounts of Leverage that can be used to pay for things such as education that not just pay for themselves but also grow the economy massively in the long term. For example every £1 spent on education 16 pounds will be generated. I understand you have never been taught economics in your life so simplified things make intuitive sense to you, rather than actually making sense in reality. I bet you are one of the types that say run your country like your house. Austerity is not sound economically because it causes an economic slump due to lower government investment, services and assistance, this means less is spent in the economy and the less spent in the economy = lower tax revenues meaning that you have to raise taxes more or increase the debt to keep going. I.e. the UK that went through austerity and the debt increased by over 1 trillion in a decade and the tax burden today is the highest since WW2. To put it into your analogy, the next year you wouldn't get 100, you'd get 60 so even though you have cut spending you are still in debt. Now if you cut it more you'll no longer get 60 but 40, and so on. So what normally happens is the government becomes paralysed as due to their economic illiteracy this is not what they expected. So they'll raise taxes and increase debt. As there one goal to give tax cuts to themselves and sell off assets at corruptly cheap prices to their mates, continues.

  362.  @crown9413  did you genuinely just say the new deal extended the great depression 🤦‍♂️ It ended it this is observable fact. If it caused economic growth why can you give zero examples of that happening. Also I know you are totally out of your depth on the topic on economics but can you explain a "free up labour and resources from the government" would mean. Please just look this up, government spending in real terms has dropped since 2010, look it up now, because if you can't even acknowledge reality this conversation cannot continue. You don't even believe this do you, companies are made of people who at the top want to get rich, if you inventive them to keep more profit they are more likely to take that option so they can get richer. We both know this. What you just said is nonsencial tax is only on profits, therefore unless a company said we have to have X amount of profit after taxes. Which no company on earth does and again I will challenge you to name one, which you keep failing to do. Companies that do talk of profitability talk of pre tax profits. Again remember profits, is post investment, they are post purchases, post maintaince, post wages. How a lower profit percentage return after taxes would effect the other you'll have to explain because as we both know, that's not how it works. Firstly the country with the largest amount of inward investment in europe right now is France with a higher corporation tax than us and a lot higher than Ireland. Not to mention tax havens are not a boom for the people living in those nations as the company economically does not interact with your country causing no effect for the general population. This is really basic economics and obviously observable fact when you look at many tax havens. "We have has Kaynesian economics has been constantly used" are you drunk? What does that even mean are you trying to claim the UK is using Kaynesian economics now? Because that just Shoes you know nothing about economics, do you not feel em barrassed at all? So let's address the first three economic terms you've used this entire conversation it's a shame you have no clue what they mean or how they relate to economics. 1. Deficit spending is occurring because tax cuts on the rich coupled with austerity which causes an economic slump, means the government cannot collect enough money. That is not Kaynesian, in fact that's the opposite 2. Qualitative easing again is occurring because the government is having short falls due to it's economic mismanagement. This again is not Kaynesian economics as it's not even being used in anyway that is used in Kaynesian economics. You should know this this is really basic now. 3. Monetary policy includes the other two, see this is the issue when you have no clue what you are talking about. Not to mention how has our monetary policy caused our current inflation, inflation has been historically low for a decade and it spiked due to profiteering and supply chain shortages. This is a fact just look it up. Sorry did you just blame the international factors in the 1970s on Kaynesian economics in the 60s 🤦‍♂️ you are one baffling human.

Go on you've seen the analysis, kid... I will again reiterate the fact, you didn't mention price for the simple reason those 1700 has no major effect on today. Also why are you talking about partisan? Are you claiming to be a centrist, how cringe can you get. Especially when you are refuting public private partnerships, which is the bed Rock of Neo-liberalism our current political paradigm. Your last comment is more partisan than me, because you are screeching how awful public private is, while I am just saying they are bad. To finish off your last sentence is just terrible and very fitting with your silly username, I can tell so much about you it hilarious, garentuee you are an atheist and have katana's don't you.

Next I would point out that GP's are at full capacity it is really frankly niave to think phone calls are inefficient. The entire point is to reduce minor injuries coming in. It saves time.
