  1. there are processes at the WTO for dealing with gross malfeasance like this, these processes usually take 10 to 20 years, with interim measures, but Trump screwed it up. I'm not sure it's working properly again. In short – expect WTO-level trouble for decades to come...

  2. ...plus give 100% back whether it's been spent or not.

  3. It's a severely cut down version of Corbyn/McDonnell's National Investment Bank which the Greens are offering in full.

  5. ​ @emm_arr the Greens won every seat they campaigned for & Reform got half a million more votes than the LibDems, you repeating Establishment propaganda isn't helpful.

  6. Bloomberg, in The Big Brexit Short https://youtu.be/Ht40yrt3VrY, covered this in some detail. Odey Asset Management, noted on screen, is Robin Crispin Odey, a personal friend of Farage & "donor" to Boris Johnson. Yougov, mentioned in this report, was founded by Nadhim Zahawi, a Tory MP, who became a Minister 2 years later at around the time he stepped down from being chief strategy officer for Gulf Keystone Petroleum.

  7.  @domhart9046  the Gov't website lists both "engineering" & "manufacturing technologies" as well as a wide range of other topics. The courses are run by colleges so availability varies by area.

  8. I'm absolutely with you on this video, the newspapers & their ToryScum pet politicians along with their backers & lobbyists are trashing this country for their own personal power & profit.

  10. If you use a colon in the timestamp it becomes a link to jump to that point, as in 3:39

  11.  @petyrkowalski9887  I like the idea but after the screwup of the last time they had a referendum on PR are Parliament the right people to lead it?

  12. yep, I see it the same way, just a publicity stunt 😢

  15. The problem wasn't mollusks per se, it was "washed" or "unwashed". Live Bivalve Mollusks are toxic till they're washed (we found this out in prehistoric times), it's not surprising the EU doesn't want unwashed ones crossing it's borders. They're not legal for sale here either.

  16.  @azokalum  that's a worry :-(

  17.  @geraldhewing2076  yes but it took Labour a century to get to its 'whimper' stage & there were good times along the way.

  18.  @gio-oz8gf  the Leader gets to write the Manifesto & Starmer stated before the PR vote in Conference it would not be in the Manifesto regardless of the vote. His opposition to PR is noted by New Statesman, Labourlist, TLE, Guardian & many more, if Starmer gets to write the Manifesto there will be no PR

  19.  @geraldhewing2076  are you?

  20.  @JaveyEL6369  Blair promised PR, we can see how that went. It has to be in the Manifesto in black & white or it's not happening & Starmer stated before Conference voted that it would not be in his Manifesto.

  21.  @rocketsurgeon2135  Starmer has definitely cut a deal with Israel who are thick as thieves with Murdoch.

  22. These 2 parties you mention in point 1, would that be the Torys, the Whigs or some modern party?

  23. points 4 & 5 I won't dispute here

  24. I'm not seeing the mechanism to support point 6?

  25. @HXT_916, the Greens are offering a National Investment Bank which sounds like it will do the same job Starmer is offering plus a whole lot more. Corbyn/McDonnell also offered this, it was well received till the propaganda took hold.

  26. It must be a deeply-held moral conviction because in any sane society she would be one of the first for the chop. Although she might prefer 'breaking on the wheel', 'iron maiden' or 'burning at the stake'.

  27. Libel & slander cost millions to prosecute & awards of costs can be presented against either party.

  28. There is a suggestion that the Falklands was staged, possibly even choreographed (though obviously the troops & Press on the ground would not have been told), after a trial run in South Georgia.

  29.  @aasphaltmueller5178  I don't know if it's law but Civil Servants are expected to report crimes to their superiors who will pass the reports to the Police, where this falls down is that the Police won't act against their paymasters – Parliament.

  31.  @adamme8369  given that Cuba is Communist & Venezuela has the largest oil reserve in the world it's pretty obviously USA & the countries it controls (like UK) This is why we have to put up with sub-standard treatments for Covid-19, China doesn't care what USA thinks & is doing really well using Cuban (as well as Chinese) medicine.

  32. 0:55 there are winners -- the hedgefunds backing the Torys. The one which financed Leave is closely tied to Truss & half the Cabinet. Farage's mate Crispin Odey is in there too, the star of Bloomberg's documentary "the great Brexit short" & never forget both Rees-Mogg & Sunak have hedgefunds.

  33.  @elliotwilliams7421  Starmer's brief to start the Forde Report was a smear campaign against Corbyn, the fact that Forde shared the blame to another group was disloyalty.

  34. We have one, #MisconductInPublicOffice, but we also have corrupt Judges who throw the case out because they know the defendant personally, Judges Supperstone & Rafferty were the last pair, they threw out Marcus J Ball's #BallVJohnson against Boris Johnson.

  35.  @vilena5308  that's called a Manifesto.

  36.  @ray-wm7yd  that relies on accurate & complete information sources that the electorate actually read -- journalists that don't lie -- & how many of them are published?

  37. Exactly! That's how they stopped slums being instantly recreated when they knocked them down, it's a fundamental feature of governance. It's a shame the current English Government can't do governance :'-(

  38. 8:58 that would be Sunak & the hedgefund he was working for at the time.

  39. #CambridgeAnalytica was folded up shortly after the referendum, they cannot be employed to reverse the damage they did.

  40. A Labour Government headed by keir Starmer seems, at this stage, to be a foregone conclusion & Sir Starmer has (despite the Membership democratically & specifically voting for PR) specifically ruled out PR. We could vote the LibDems into Government & probably get PR but the morons won't vote for that many of them. Similarly, we could vote the Greens into Government & be guaranteed PR but again the morons won't vote for enough of them. Maybe the Sun, Express & Mail will direct the morons to vote Reform into Government but, despite their promises, I doubt they'll put PR through as they don't actually want the responsibility of governing. You're right, we're stuffed. What form do I need to claim asylum in the EU? 😢

  41. "Is Corbyn" what?

  42. There is a HVDC line that's very likely to be put through from Morocco to England but that's about the limit of current technology. I have no doubt longer lines will become possible but we don't know when. There are plans for lines through Indonesia between China & Australia but no other plans between the hemispheres.

  43. ​ @Etheoma jointing & repairing severed lines was solved in the 1800s

  44. ​ @Etheoma lines through Africa & South America are not currently feasible, that's why the Oceania route is the only one proposed.

  48. Recent accession agreements have a requirement to put in place a pathway towards acceding to the Euro, Schengen membership is entirely voluntary, these are not current stumbling blocks. Where genuine problems arise are in meeting the terms set out in Article 2 of the TEU.

  49. @alanbarker2279, the problem is that Starmer & his Zionist faction aren't actually an improvement over the Torys.

  50.  @srp01983  @nathanfurnival 8724 has actually got something right for once (it had to happen eventually), Starmer earned that moniker when he announced to Kuenssberg on TV he wouldn't revoke the "two child policy".
