    273
  6. the Welsh assembly have said farmers need to use their land to plant 20% trees and 20% wild flowers. Effectively reducing food production in Wales by 40%. That's a big figure. Given inflation rates and foodshortages it really isn't a great plan.

    113

    108
  17. "Equality is recognising that, as human beings, we all have the same value. This means we all have the same rights, we should all receive the same level of respect, and have the same access to opportunities. " This madness actually goes against our human rights.
    106
  18. We were individually richer in 2005, and the country had millions of fewer migrants.
    103
  19. This may explain Abbots and Lammy incompetence.

    90
  22. In 2017 when Corbyn was leader he won 40% of the vote share and 12.8 million votes. Starmer as leader won 33% of the vote share and 9.7 million votes. Corbyn was a more popular man.
    86
  23. The UK Co2s emissions have actually halfed in the last 30 years. We are actually doing a very good job already.
    85
  24. What messed up world do we live in when we had to argue for 20 years just to stop this?
    83

    82
  26. Illegal immigrants.
    80
  27. We have 70 000 troops. Realistically we are not fighting anyone.
    75

    72
  29. Are you joking? Rowling made them money. She didn't need them.
    72
  30. This needs to stop, to have your own government attacking you when the majority have already done what was asked is both exhausting and terrifying.
    70
  31. it's how our parliament is going to look at the next election. But a very sensible review of the French election results.
    69
  32. Boxing and wrestling are two old school English working class pass times.
    68
  33. mass migration is not promoting growth, its devaluing the average person's wages.
    59
  34. The French are just weird
    57
  35. What are the odds of Sunak and his family moving back to India if war ever kicks off? Very high I'm guessing!!
    56
  36. That's why he got the job. After the chaos of Boris he is a relatively neutral character who isn't going to cause much fuss.
    56
  37. What exactly are these young English boys going to fight for? Discrimination in the workplace? Shariah law? A political class who have never seen or ever likely to see a battle field? Answers on a postcard please!!!
    55
  38. Amir Khan, the British boxing champion, summed it up. Stating, "They should stop eating curry if they want to be champions." They are looking for excuses for their failure.
    55
  39. we have the same problem here in the UK, any debate the "looney left" loose (which is most of them) they call the electorate thick and racist.
    53
  40. We seem to be stuck in a werid 2005 neoliberalism purgatory. We just can't seem to move on. Even our primeministers appear to be cheap Tony Blair knockoffs!!
    50
  41. I think between the BBC and Disney, they are both competing to see who can self canabilise the quickest.
    50
  42. Churchill served under Kitchener at the battle of Obdurman in 1898. Churchill was a leader who understood war. He fought. Who do we have nowadays in Europe? Sunak and Macron. Who on earth is going to follow them?
    50
  43. Nigel is English and his family will have lived here for generations. A "imigrant" then questions him why he was in the English capital. She is proving why the majority are so annoyed.
    48
  44. 90% of the population are white British. 100% of the top cabinet jobs are from ethnic backgrounds. 1) What are the odds they are the best persons for the job? Virtually 0% and 2) I am not voting for a party where my children are discriminated against and have little chance of reaching the top!
    46
  45. In 2001, annual tutition fees were only £1200. It was affordable. VAT was only 17.5%, too.
    45

    44
  47. Maybe stop importing such large numbers?
    44
  48. Dave Starkey blames the French. We adopted a more European style of government while in the EU. France collapses on average every 40 years. Now nothing works.

    43
  50. They perceive they can't win the game. So they give up.
    42

    42
  52. I live in Greater Manchester. A mother we know had a still born baby because the NHS allowed it to go 18 days over due. This happened during the course of the doctors strikes. The hospital have been found guilty of negligence.
    42
  53. It looks like we were correct not to include him in the AUKUS defence deal.
    40
  54. The BBC also criticised the hugely successful female English football team for being too white.
    39
  55. The English people just don't generally make a loud noise. It's not that we are not proud. We know we are awesome, so we dont need to shout about it.
    39
  56. Not in England. Its been banned.
    37
  57. the man suported Brexit. He's not all bad.
    37
  58. Calling for peace would be a more balanced take. Making such silly demands will just make Isreal fight harder.
    36
  59. send in the riot police
    36
  60. historically, the majority of the English working class lived in slum housing, had very little education, worked in factories or mines, and were not allowed to vote. What privilege is he referring to exactly?
    34
  61. I bet a huge proportion of the black population that came from Jamaica owned slaves in previous generations. To come to the UK, they would have been motivated and had wealth. Wealth they would have acculated from the slave trade.
    32
  62. No!! Their is always a crisis. Embrace it mate and just move forward regardless!! Don't let the weight of the world beat you!!
    32
  63. The same thing happened to the school that tried to ban Islamic prayer. It nearly poisoned the whole institution.
    31
  64. yep, we are that stupid.
    30
  65. Education is free until you're 18. Health care is free even if you've contributed nothing, and an entire stock of cheap housing exists!!
    29
  66. It didn't surprise me that they lost in Tamworth. They made a mess with Hs2 and abandoned the whole project.
    28
  67. ...and yet we have to pay for the BBC.
    28
  68. The middle classes have always relied on the bank of Mum and Dad. My dad did. His dad did. And his dad definitely did.
    28
  69. I'll be honest I hate going Wales now. I used to love walking around the mountain.
    28
  70. He is 100% correct. He called it "spin". Some how new labour got away with it!!
    27
  71. Yes, that's already happened. People voted for Corbyn and Boris because they wanted to get away from people like Sunak and Starmer.
    27
  72. Ive realised after 15 years of wasted time starting a family, married and having children. Is actually the most secure, best, stable form of life you can have. It benefits you at every level. What is the alternative? A flat share in rented accommodation with a random person who will probably abandon you. Thats not a life. Thats hell.
    27
  73. I can actually agree on this!! The house of Lords in its current form is ridiculous!!
    26
  74. Exactly. This isn't about left or right. Or the culture wars. Just get the ruddy basics right. Potholes, health, trains, etc..Nothing works anymore, things that we used to take for granted.
    26
  75. They should have kept the British in charge.
    25
  76. What does a Nigerian understand about England?
    25
  77. the concept of the english evolved 1500 years ago!! I think we have the right to a strong identity.

    24
  79. No, Russia was a huge country and a major industrial power. It is completely different.
    24
  80. In the olden days they became football hooligans.
    24
  81. Doctor who, football focus, a question of sport, University challenge, the sky at night... The BBC are doing a Disney and burning to the ground all their old classics.
    24
  82. They've officially gone mental. Have they learnt nothing?
    23
  83. Loosing authority? When on. earth, did he have any?
    22
  84. Everything has!! The church, film television, even the conservative party.
    22
  85. He knows we are at war.
    21
  86. I'm going to quote Eric Cartman from South Park... "Just put another diverse woman in it and make it more f**king lame."
    20
  87. Maybe start by unblocking the drains next to the pot holes.
    20
  88. Intellect doesn't equal wisdom. That is often a bitter pill to swallow.
    20
  89. I think BLM has done alot of damage.
    19
  90. Thatcher didn't have to listen to the banks. The government debt was only around 20% of GDP. It is now close to 100%.
    19
  91. She is in charge of the police. Sort them out then.
    19
  92. ....I never believed labours anti semitism problem. But it is real, and it is so plain to see
    19
  93. Our leaders are all from Asia. It makes sense they want people around that look like them.
    19
  94. Why would a single male want to go on universal credit for 20 years?
    19
  95. Describing them as conservative is pushing it.
    19
  96. Boris has out played Macron. Boris said we will train 10000 Ukrainan troops every 3 months. Macron has said Ukraine may be allowed to join the EU if they are lucky. Boris has Macrons number.
    18
  97. i wouldn't bet against Elon.
    18
  98. All the rural areas the lib dems gained from the conservatives all voted to leave the EU. North Shropshire is an example.
    18
  99. He accuses every one of racism. Its getting ridiculous.
    18
  100. "lacetate is an LHRH agonist that is most commonly used in chemical castration today. This drug has been observed as having higher rates of success in reducing abnormal sexual urges and fantasies, but is often reserved for those offenders who are at a high risk of reoffending due to the drug's intense effects" OMG. This is the same drug as puberty blockers!!
    17
  101. Really? Their parents may live another 30 to 40 years. What are their plans in the mean time?
    17
  102. They just keep trying to shut down anyone who asks questions.
    17
  103. We printed £400 billion. It caused huge inflation. All our public sector workers are now striking, a cost of living crisis, and our young are now turning to far left parties for answers.
    17
  104. they did
    17
  105. .....The issue with the "power of the state" is that it doesn't actually care about you. There is nothing wrong with the idea of the individual. Providing if that individual works, he is rewarded for his efforts. And that was the point of labour and the unions. They negotiated wage increases for the working classes.
    16
  106. Disney became involved. Star wars, Marvel, their own animation. They are on a role at the moment to see which beloved franchise they can destroy the quickest. (Eg; Every white male superhero film has been replaced by a diverse alternative with political messaging, and Snow white is now a person with brown skin)
    16
  107. Starmer is a bully
    16
  108. It could be worse. The Church of England is looking to donate up to £1 billion to black communities for something that happened 300 years ago. I really wish i was making this up.
    16
  109. I agree. Sunak pays the same rate of tax on his income as a nurse. But the treasury is currently "raking in" record amounts of tax revenues. The conservatives have been awful at managing it, they have lost control of everything!!
    16
  110. The people in the UK who work hard are labelled as racists and hard right.
    16
  111. My friend is a university lecturer. In the last few years they have kids making it onto university degree courses who are not smart enough to be there. The university pocket the cash, they are not smart enough to pass and the drop out rate in the first year is huge.
    16
  112. Well if it helps the hard working Brexit voters tax money probably paid for her free tutition fees and she is still complaining?? But you are very welcome....
    16
  113. ​ @Aleaaitacest3736 Ukraine didn't launch a invasion into Russia did they?
    16
  114. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 Improve your attitude or get buried. It's up to you. Be thankful for what you've been given. It can be quite easily taken away.
    16
  115. They wasted money and didn't even finish what they started. Billions went "missing" with HS2. It was both shocking and an international embarrassment.
    16
  116. Do the EU actually have anything to bargain with?
    16
  117. Renters pay market value rent. If rents are high its because their are not enough rental properties in the market
    15
  118. yes he should. The man is a liability, people will get sick of him. He could take down the royal family.
    15
  119. I've noticed this in the Times and Telegraph, too. They seem to have forgotten 100s of people have died from Islamic terrorism in recent years.
    15
  120. this guy actually thinks the restrictions are normal. Its disturbing.
    15
  121. no one did. no one for the snp leader either.
    15
  122. ​ @smith2781 Why on earth was she in the top tier of the English government?
    15
  123. Given how closely tied we are to Isreal and the importance of the relationship if i were the British state, i would be very concerned about the direction this country has gone.
    14
  124. Maybe ask Jordan what happened to them?
    14
  125. What community? Is their an annual AGM?
    14
  126. 200 years ago, England beat Napoleon. It financed the entire European war effort. And Londons reach is global. it's never been just Europe. Its litterly the centre of the world.
    14
  127. Its a rich country. Private companies and government have figured out how to take our money and keep it for themselves. We're being screwed by everyone.
    14
  128. no one is listening.
    14
  129.  @lobobolo2402  Tell that to the British majority that live there. These men have died to remain British.
    14
  130. It's always amusing when i see London mayor Sadiq Khan or muslims wearing Englands football top. The three lions are King Richards' coat of arms, the English king who led the crusades against them.
    14
  131. ...we going to be paying the price of this for decades. Rampant inflation, a diminished nhs, missed cancer diagnosis, child mental health problems. So many other things. The damaged the restrictions have caused are incalculable!!
    13
  132. ...this has been happening in England for decades. Seriously mate no one cares.
    13
  133. What is that old expression? "Pride comes before a fall"
    13
  134. £1 billion? That seems to be a low estimate.
    13
  135. What will the young English men be fighting for exactly? Shaira law and discrimination in the job market? Yeah right...
    13
  136. really? You are encouraging European colonialism?
    13
  137. What ever happened to the teacher and family that was forced into hiding? Thats just one example. Im actually lost for words. They are despicable enough to attack our children and schools. Apparently the Islamists did nothing wrong, the police did nothing
    13
  138. Exactly!
    13
  139. This could arguably take down Natwest and lead to a run on savings. Natwest is an English bank with English savings and its clear they dont want English customers.
    13
  140. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 My life is probably twice as easy as my grans. little disease, free healthcare, a welfare state, no war, central heating, loads of food, longer life expectancy, vacuum cleaners, electricity, and hot water. In comparison to 100 years ago, it is far easier.
    13
  141. it was. The founder made his money trading cotton from the slave trade.
    13
  142. I personally think we need to import more homeless Albanian big issue sellers. They really DO contribute so much to the widder economy.
    13
  143. That was exactly what the play "death of a salesman" was about, the main character kills himself at the end of the play. It was a very popular play in communist Russia.
    13
  144. Ah Gina Miller. So stunning, so brave.
    13
  145. The justice system is not much better. Modern lawyers and judges all need to be from a certain political persuasion to progress in their careers.
    13
  146. The labour party was founded on the teachings of fairness and ideas from the new testament. Keir Hardie was a evangelical preacher. The early socalists were Christians trying to do the right thing. It had nothing to do with Karl Marx. We often forget this.
    13
  147. It was actually an intresting ending to the episode. Harry acknowledged his mistakes, left Megan, asked if he could "play" and was accepted back into the group. I think south park are right, people still want him back deep down and are subtly hinting at what Harry should do.
    13
  148. Chris pratt, Tom cruise, Chris Hemsworth, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp. Their are dozens more, what is he on about?
    12
  149. If you actually listen to Peterson he actually explains to men how to escape incel culture, get and be loyal to one lady, have children, and find a meaningful life.
    12
  150. Our country no longer recognises the truth.
    12
  151. "Just put another diverse woman in it and make it more f**kin"lame" Eric Cartman from southpark sums it up.
    12
  152. well he didn't start any wars did he?
    12
  153. I think James needs to go and have a lie down.
    12
  154. I think the conservative party should stop asking its members to elect its leader.... Jesus christ, it's just been one disaster after the next.
    12
  155. It's not ideal. It ridiculous. I lived at home for 8 months, and I used that time to save money for a cheap house. My main aim was for independence. This never-ending childhood is probably what is driving a lot of male mental health problems.
    12
  156. King Charles has said multiple times when he is king he is going to keep his mouth shut. Even saying "He is not that stupid". He understands he can't interfer.
    12
  157. It's everywhere and is not going away. My company hired an african, whose second language is English, to talk on the telephone support line. All our clients are British. It's all about equality, apparently according to HR. But he can barely speak English.
    12
  158. Im going to quote Eric Cartman from South Park... "Just put another diverse woman in it and make it more f**kin' lame"
    12
  159. seriously? You are trapped in a currency you can't control that makes you poorer every year, you have a voting system that doesn't give you strong governance so you can't push the reforms you need. And you stuck accepting laws from a parliament 1000s of miles away that ultimately don't suit you. England is fine, it is alive. How is Italy okay?
    12
  160. 2000 took over our local rural park over the bank holiday weekend to hold what was effectively a private party and Iranian new year. I live in Cheshire. It was chaos. Its not isolated to London.
    11
  161. Don't worry, they bring the developers in from India or Africa. High end jobs are not safe.
    11
  162. They tried to, but I honestly don't think anyone is listening. But with huge race riots in France where a child has died and Dublin at a stand still due to local protests against housing refugees. The UK is actually quite tolerant and safe in comparison.
    11
  163. the tax rises and annexing off north Ireland probably haven't helped.
    11
  164. It all sounds very vague and very soviet Russia.
    11
  165. I actually agree, we talked endlessly about Englands ancient monarchy but no mention was given to Scotlands. The foundation of Great Britain was when James the 6th of Scotland was invited to be King of England after all.
    11
  166. France played its part too, people never bring that up!!
    11
  167. My great uncle lived in rented private accommodation decades ago. He is dead now and fought against the Italians in ww2. He had a lifetime tenancy, he couldn't be evicted and a fixed rent of I belive £10 a month. The man also never had a bank account and was always paid in cash.
    11
  168. You are right. Poultry and egg producers are basically giving up because supermarkets ate refusing to give them a fair price.
    11
  169.  @lewisg7614  Scotland has free tutition fees.
    11
  170. This policy needs to be very carefully thought through. There is already a shortage of rental properties in the market. More regulation will force more landlords to sell up, making prices and supply worse.
    11
  171. They like simple arguments. When often the bigger picture is actually very complex. Thinking is difficult for them.
    11
  172. and while this was going on it was revealed Sunak (with earnings of £1.9 million) is paying the same rate of tax as a nurse.
    11
  173. It was never about stocks and shares. London is a place for very rich people to hide their money. London has a net work of colonies to do this.
    10
  174. ...yes, providing strong winds blow constantly all year round. Which is not going to happen.
    10
  175. Well it's not quite the same, the UK isn't a world power any more. Our boarders and means don't really extend any further than Guernsey. Before we had a 1/4 of the worlds people and resources to help us out.
    10
  176. Exactly, isn't he classified as a limited company for some reason?
    10
  177. We've had a labour party in this country for over 100 years. "socalism" is part of Englands fabric. But not the marxists kind, the methodism kind!!
    10
  178. the UK has accepted millions of new arrivals from the Middle East over recent years. Some general lessons in British culture, respect, and manners would go a long way. The issue really isn't Islamipobia. Based on what i am seeing, people are fed up with being harrased and bullying.
    10
  179. ​ @enemystand2981 The idea of owning a house only became the norm in the 70s/80s. Thatcher was primeminister.
    10
  180. Yeah, and we were constantly at war too
    10
  181.  @gerrypowell2748  yes, that is what happens when you print £400 billion.
    10
  182. ​ @bixbysnyder-00 Culturally, the English never fitted in with the Europeans.
    10
  183. The UK is only country in the world that can create its only trade deals and have complete tarrif free access to the EU single market via Northern Ireland. Who ever stratagised this was a genius, no one saw this coming...
    10
  184. "Put another gay diverse chick in it and make it more lame" Eric Cartman 2023
    10
  185. ....It was war, and both sides hated each other.
    10
  186. is he? Wasn't he in charge of the Greek finances when they went bankrupt?
    10
  187. you need profits to pay for things!! The complete disconnect is just unbelievable!!
    10
  188. Boris has out played Macron. Boris said we will train 10000 Ukrainan troops every 3 months. Macron has said Ukraine may be allowed to join the EU if they are lucky. Boris has Macrons number.
    10
  189. It joined the Euro. That is what happened to Italy.
    9

  196. 30%? Bread has increased from £1 a loaf to £1.85. Thats 85%!!!

  197. Lockdowns, £9000 tutition fees, soaring national debt, higher taxes, unfordable housing, a unworkable rental market, a unsecure job market, stagnant wages. All the problems highlighted have been caused by a older generation and it is the youth that have to pay it all back!!

  198. Mask wearing, compulsory vacancies and covid passes are hugely stressful on a population. People need a rest, at least the English had the common sense to offer its population some rest over the summer months before the hard winter begins again. Look at the problems in Europe.
    9
  199. They did. They banned them from entering the country.

  200. They need the ability to defend themselves. These people are dangerous, and you ask the police not to hold their ground. Remember, their job is to protect us. Otherwise, people like this will continually take the micky and will continually pull the Islamipobia card when they are pulled up on their bad behaviour. Which is what they've tried to do. AGAIN!!

  203. ​ @bixbysnyder-00 If you look at trade, we ran a constant deficite with the EU. So I disagree. And we were one of the main contributors to the budget. We gave them £15 billion and got £5 billion back. So, no they needed us more.

  205. I hate to say this but Tony Blairs intervention may of had sometimes to do with this Tony Blair said the protocol was a bad deal and it has isolated one of Northern Irelands main communities. For a war mongering nutter, Blair can occasionally get it right!

  220. Imigration in the 90s was 40 000. Imigration now is 600 000. We've gone from a high trust society, to a low trust society. Up until recently England was a singular group of people. It is now completely fractured. The structures that held everything together are slowly being destroy.

  221. South park is great. The best joke was we learnt after 25 years Token (The only black character) real name was actually Tolkien, then called the entire audience "a racist piece of s**t" for thinking it for so long. They changed all written references to him to real mess with the viewers heads.
    8
  222. why? The UK actually hasn't done anything yet. The protocol has marginalised one of Northern irelands main communities and colapsed the assembly. I think the EUs argument is running dry...

  223. ​@ganndeber1621 sigh, I said the foundations. England and Scotland had 100s of years of separated kings and queens. When Queen Elizabeth died without an heir England invited James the 6th of Scotland to be its king. Both countries from that point on had the same head of state. This happened in 1604, 100 years before the act of union.

  227. I hate to say this but intrest rates where aways going to rise. People shouldn't of borrowed so much. I have no sympathy for a person who bought a £500 000 house at 1.7% intrest during the stamp duty holiday towards the end of the lockdowns.

  230. Farmers are leaving the industry. We have no direction from government, costs have gone up, and it is now more economically viable to plant trees than grow food. 1 billion fewer eggs are being produced compared to last year in the UK.

  231. The only EU country that respected the result of a referendum was Great Britain.

  234. Didn't Liverpool fans storm a stadium in 1985? 39 people died and 14 Liverpool fans were convicted of man slaughter according to Wikipedia. It's probably why so few people gave them sympathy when Hillsborough happened.
    8
  235. all restrictions have gone in England and the government have backdown on mandatory vaccinations for NHS and care home staff. Boris's incompetence saved us, he annoyed all his backbenchers so much he couldn't get anything new through parliament.

  236. The issue with millennials are that they have been very slow to settle. Instead of marring young, combining resources and working towards a deposit. They've woken up in their mid 30s with zero investments, zero family, and 15 years of hard work with nothing to show for it! I think alot are panicking.

  238. Pockets of wealth seem to exist. In certain areas of Greater Manchester, housing is being sold for over £1 million. London too. Who on earth is buying them? The interesting thing is that if you go back 20 years, the wealth disparity never used to be this bad if you look at historic property prices on the Internet. And this gap between rich and poor areas just seems to be speeding up.
    8
  239. Corbyn as leader 12.9 million votes. Starmer as leader 9.6 million votes. I've never seen a prime-minister with such a small percentage of the popular vote.

  242.  @nigelingram8514  Italy is a failed democracy that is getting poorer every year. Its a country that desperately needs thatcher type reform but can't due to its voting system. It used to be a rich country but it is now trapped in the Euro and has lost control of its monetry policy. You listen to the wrong people and play by rules that don't suit you, you pay the price. Well done Italy!!

  243. Sturgeon blows her budget, implements cuts and refuses to be accountable to Westminster. So now she demands Westminster is accountable to her? Makes perfect sense!!

  244. The only industry that really benifited from the EU was Londons finance sector. Everything else was chucked under a bus. Finance was one of the few industries than ran a trade surplus with the EU.

  245. probably for the reason most of the population have been so easily turned on the unvacinated.

  246. They are already the 3rd biggest party. They didn't exactly try very hard.
    7
  247. You are 100% right. This is what people don't understand. Unless you are a public sector worker, trade unions are completely pointless because you are completely replaceable by a Indian imigrant. They are all very highly educated and their are 1 billion of them.
    7
  248. ​ @martinsingfield Yes, its membership. They help to negotiate wage increases for people who can't negotiate for themselves. Arguably they pulled millions out of poverty. Labour were historically the party of the union!!

  253. Exactly!! What on earth on these people complaining about?
    7
  254. The wealth of a country has nothing to do with the size of its population or natural resources. It comes from the education and productivity of its workforce. That is why are rich and middle eastern nations are poor.
    7
  255. Its just risen in Germany.
    7
  256. That's not actually true. She allowed working people to buy their houses, shares, and start businesses. She made them rich. It was capitalism for the masses.
    7
  257. over the last 40 years when has the UK ever returned a left wing government? (New Labour do not count, they were a continuation of Thatcher) Based on spending, imigrantion and the environment. Sunak and Boris are the most left wing we've been in decades!!
    7
  258. The arrogance. Do you actually think we matter?
    7
  259. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.
    7
  260. English people are very peaceful. The far right barely exists. I just want to get on with my life. But when you see very high profile muslim youtubers demanding shariah law and openly rejecting western values. (This is a person who grew up and was educated here) Its abit worrying.
    7
  261. It also happened over the course of 300 years, not in less than 70.
    7
  262. .....but back to your point i dont think the majority of people understand what a real threat is. Society has become so deluded and soft.
    7
  263. ....Unless he learns to be quiet the monarchy will not last.
    7
  264. I'd argue they've been floundering since Cammeron left. They just about won in 2017 and in 2019 it was all about Brexit. They ran out of talent and common sense years ago!!
    7
  265. Two completely unpopular unelected officials bargaining on the future of the UK. This is ridiculous!! Seriously what is going on?
    7
  266. ​​ @nojabhere mir Khan is from a Asian background and a world champion. He understands what it took to be top of the world. He was stating they should stop blaming others for your failures.

    7
  268. You need workers for a workers party.
    7
  269. no chance of that ever happening in England. The city of London has special status. They can do what they want.

  270. The UK has all the top university and research facilities. I bet EU scientists are pleased to have us back.

  271. He already has caved to the far left. The entire party fell to pieces over the Gaza vote. No one seemed to notice.
    7
  272. What country side? The past 30 years have seen huge gentrification and social change and an equally large number of houses being built.
    7
  273. You can't complain about stagnant wages and zero bargaining power while simultaneously diluting the labour market with limitless new arrivals. Employers don't even need to advertise the job here first either.
    7
  274. I disagree. With A.I. trades people are the only ones with guaranteed employment. University education is pointless.
    7
  275. Hmm, the only way Starmer has been able to win an election is through the adoption of conservative values. So, i respectfully disagree. What was Thatchers' greatest achievement? New Labour.

  276. Wellington was a protastant Irish man. The man who beat Napoleon. So, too, was the guy who created Guinness. Auther Guinness was a unionist.

  277. inflation is running at 9%. What strong economy?

    6
  285. It's not fair. It's crazy how much tax young people pay. How on earth do you expect them to actually succeed in life?
    6
  286. Everyone is short of money. Council, businesses and Universities. They can fill empty shops on the high street, Universities can charge foreign students more and businesses can pay imported labour less. It saves sourcing locally and their is an infinite source of cheap labour abroad.
    6
  287. I bet the UK followed it to the letter though...

  288. We get two weeks of paternity leave in here. Women get a full year.

  295. Rhisi Sunak was right. They did raise taxes.

  296. Documentation exists detailing King Alfred was King of the Anglo-Saxons. We litterly live in a country called Anglo-land. Places like Sussex and Middlesex mean south and Middle saxon.

  300. I don't think the SNP have ever been silenced
    6
  301. They fracked extensively so have an abundance of cheap energy, didn't sign up to various climate treaties, and haven't got a war on its doorstep. So no is the answer.
    6
  302. The labour party appears to have fallen.
    6
  303. Well I bet that speech went down like a lead balloon in Poland.

  308. ​ @moggadah "An integration project" That was the problem. The English have a remarkable sense of national identity. Everyone was onboard with a free trade agreement, but in terms of a political union it went to far!!

  311. I honestly belive it boils down to jeolousy, they can't shine as bright as her so have to tear her down.
    6
  312. the irony is we actually thought we were saving the elderly. But we didnt save them, we destroyed them. First we let them die in the care homes, then we isolated them in a room and put them through months and years of the worse type of mental tourture imaginable. All under the pretence of helping them. What we did was awful. Were the covid restrictions worth it?
    6
  313. If Keir Starmer manages the country like he does the labour party we are all doomed.

    6
  315. The French are probably still mad at us for refusing to give Napoleon's body back after he died.
    6
  316. You can not compare the USA with the EU. America is a far more stable and homogeneous country. The USA has a single language, culture, currency and have been a single entity for a far longer period of time. The EU in comparison is a mess (The UK had a very different legal system). But culturally member states will resit further integration, alot of the individual member states identity can be traced back 1000 years.

  319. ​​ @connorh2215  It doesn't help when we try to diversify our energy needs. Environmental lobbying groups try to shut down the projects. Gas fields, coal mines or oil. We can't produce anything here in the UK.

  323.  @vonteflon  I am not sabotaging anything. I am pointing out facts. Perhaps alot of the "overseas viewers" who think they deserve an opinion should perhaps get their own houses in order before they start pointing fingers!!
    6

  325. Trump runs the country like a wrestling match. You have "Goodies" and "Badies." This sounds ridiculous, but it's exactly what he does. Also, it's an old-school business management style. It typically died out in the 80s.

  333. It's up to the bosses to decide. But with the cost of living crisis it would a nice gesture and they could save the petrol money. Maybe some form of hybrid working.

  344. Equality leads to the destruction of everything.

  345. Thatcher and Major had won all the fights in the 80s and early 90s. Blair inherited a prosperous economy with low debt, he effectively then copied and pasted her economic model he didn't do anything and took all the credit.

  346. London underground attacks, London bridge attacks, Manchester bombings, Lee Rigby, grooming gangs and political assinations. I wonder why, it is a mystery?

  347. China and Russia are both colonial rivals. Maybe you need aggression to beat aggression.
    5
  348.  @KinchasaurasRex  we have record low intrest rates and we have printed billions during the pandemic. No is taking about the consequences of covid. We smashed up the supply chain and printed money to pay the bills. The inflation is just matching the money supply.
    5
  349. Err, are you referring to the EU?

    5
  353. I'm going to disagree with you here, Corbyn is still quite popular. Probably more popular than Starmer.
    5
  354. Actually, they do. Tucker Carson says he's English. So does Musk and Peterson.
    5
  355. ...but then a huge proportion of the population did agree with him.

  368. ​ @jonathanbailey1597 Do you know why the right of politics tends to win? It addresses the person on an individual level. Everything you have said is irrelevant and is just being used as an excuse for why you can't get on in life.

  471. A loaf of bread used to be around £1 before the lockdowns. It is now £1.80. By my simple calculations that is 80% inflation. My wages have barely changed.

  507. once the referendum had happened based on how the UK and EU is organised what we got was probably the best and ultimately the inevitable outcome. But the referendum had to be called because UKIP was obliterating labour and the Tories in the polls. The majority of constituencies voted for it so politians had to deliver or get wiped out. We couldn't accept Terresa May's deal as we would be under the jurisdiction of a foreign court with no say in the laws past. The Northern Ireland protocol had to exist to make sure a hard border didn't exist in Ireland and to protect the single market. It was actually quite a logical train of events.

  561. ​ @moonmoggyjohn5227 It's not. Their was no wind last year, and we ended up importing very expensive out of contract gas to make up the short fall. As for solar, we live in a very dark European country. When we rely on renewables their is a shortage of energy in the marketplace. Why do you think our energy bill was so big over the winter? Out of contract, Imported Norwegian gas.

  602. what a disgusting thing to say. Bury South had voted and elected a Conservative mp. He then decides to defect to the oposition bench. They have a right to feel cheated and lied to.

    3
  634.  @ecaeas4439  The euro crashed too. It fell below the dollar for the 1st time in its existence recently. The EU have had on average a higher rate of inflation than the UK. But the usa are recovering quicker, they haven't had the same energy problems as us (they fracked extensively), haven't had to worry about war on its borders and arguably raised intrest rates at a faster rate.
    3
  635.  @ecaeas4439  it's a complicated debate. Many people would argue our push for net zero made us over reliant on imported energy. But while we don't buy much gas from Russia, we still very much compete in the same market place. Its been a perfect storm. Brexit would of also played its part, lockdowns and quantitive easing and also the wars effect on energy and food supply. I suppose when you weigh up everything the UK isn't doing to badly I suppose.

  657. JD Vance is right. Europe needs to spend more on defence. War has been raging, and we are trying to reduce our military spending. We are a joke. We do have an enemy within. Look at youtube. So many left-wingers hate us. And Ukraine is not getting the territory it lost to Russia back. Putin needs to sell some of form of win.

Scottish MPs got a vote on English laws which were devolved matters Scotland, we had uncontrolled immigration, we were giving 100s of billions of pounds to the EU and places Scotland with little gratitude. EU laws were being rubber stamped here without debate. A huge democratic deficite existed. And then to top it off a bunch of bankers ran off with all our tax money!! Now we have managed to wrestle back some control we just get accused of being racist.

  744. They voted her back in.
    2
  745. Who would have guessed attacking white working class males, and the use of identity politics would have such a terrible effect on army recruitment? I mean, diversity is our greatest strength, isn't it?
    2
  746. ....because he actually offered some direction and stability.
    2
  747. Im looking at house prices in Cornwall. You can actually buy a beautiful terraced house for around £100 000. Perfect for 1st time buyers.
    2
  748. She was voted for by the membership. Unlike Sunak. The Tory party has been hugely disrespectful to both the membership and voters.
    2
  749. Morbid obesity.
    2
  750. I'm dont think it will work, the increase in support for things Brexit and Corbyn were in direct opposition of the neoliberalism status quo. The Blair era has ended.
    2
  751. How do you explain what happened in Russia? They just murdered everyone because they were jealous.
    2
  752. That's how finding the truth works. People randomly stand up and say their opinions, and eventually, you find the truthful way forward. It is how our parliament should work.
    2
  753.  @daijirokatoh3769  your not reporting any facts. Harry is clearly to young to remember how bad the EU was for British farming.
    2
  754.  @daijirokatoh3769  Harry is the name of the young farmer in the video. Did you watch it?
    2
  755. Wasn't labour in when the financial crash happened?
    2
  756. ​​​​​​ @terrencehook2031  may was a danger to national security. What she was trying to do was insane. We wouldn't be able to sign any new trade deals, set out own tax rates and we would be under a legal system with no say in any of the laws passed. The whole country would of collapsed.
    2
  757. ...its probably to do with Brexit.
    2
  758. People forget how worthless lambs while in the EU. All through the 90s and 00s farmers were literally giving them away, baby calfs were being shot because they were worthless. Since 2016 farmers have made money and typically prices have been good. Harry is to young to remember the reality of being the EU.
    2
  759.  @siewheilou399  Uk farmers never did. We always had a strong pound. Are markets were flooded by cheaper imports and our exports were more expensive. The only time uk farmers profited from being part of the single market was in 2016 after we voted to leave.
    2
  760.  @buk3695  farm gate prices are still very high. Milk, wheat and beef. All are currently very high, farmers are making money.
    2
  761. I think modern day parallels exists between the 3rd reich and modern China. Both are/where totalitarian states with a socialist and capitalist twist. What do you think?
    2
  762. It's called the House of Commons and commons law. Everything you describe already exists. All these ideas where thought out 400 years ago!!
    2
  763. It wasn't.
    2
  764. ... every Islamic country is a toltaltian state. That's a fact. Religion is a private matter in this country, and people like Andrew Tate are very militant at pushing Islam down our throat. That's facisim. If you bring people in from toltaltian countries, you will import than norms and values. I am a free individual and willing to fight for that freedom.
    2
  765. I'm from the north, and I get a lot of aggressive behaviour from asian groups. I'm English and white. In barbers, picnic sites, and when I've been with my son. I have been intimidated and threatened.
    2
  766. Well they deserve to be punished, they let their electorate down (and im a pro uk man)
    2
  767. Isreal did great. It shows that the majority of the public are behind them.
    2
  768. Our current chancellor has an image of a far left extremist on her wall in number 11 Downing Street!! Why is communism acceptable? It is equally as evil as facism l.
    2
  769. Listening muslims in the house of commons, they are debating cousin marriage and blasphemy laws. The country has gone mad, its not the victorian period!!
    2
  770. AUKUS, CPTPP, unwavering support for Ukraine, a new USA trade deal, love from Poland, Sweden and Finland and the windsor framework. Global Britain was been very sneakily raising to the top of the world stage...
    2
  771. Douglas Ross needs replacing, he is a terrible leader.
    2
  772. ​ @doosenco  Things could be fairer. I agree with you. But not communism. What you are asking for is terrible.
    2
  773. ...sorry is that her real hair?
    2
  774. Hes better than the alternative.
    2
  775. he has an election coming up.
    2
  776. The left are full of crazy people. A possible labour government may be catastrophic and they will attempt to collapse parliament on every issue they dont get their way.
    2
  777. I agree. But he was arguably what was needed at that specific point in time. Boris won a majority, broke 3 years of Brexit deadlock, set up AUKUS, started negotiations with India and the trans pacific partnership. He also lead the charge against Russia. Sunak hasn't won anything, he inherited a safe Tory seat and a Boris Johnson 80 seat majority. It is not a surprise they are so far behind in the polls.
    2
  778. Politians were being assinated in their homes, innocent people murdered and children blown to pieces by the IRA. But no, clearly privately educated upper class James o Brian was the real victim in all this.
    2
  779. It's already been split. It depends if she can reabsorb the Reform voters.
    2
  780. ​ @fez119  Communism is not a good system of governance. Read some history!!
    2
  781. Equity, inclusion and diversity. If you take the first letter from each word it spells "D.I.E"
    2
  782. Just because you have a high IQ and are educated does not mean you are wise.
    2
  783. Its a modern day witch hunt. Similar to the Spanish inquisition. Only instead of mass purges if you were accused of being a heretic, they just get cancelled from social media.
    2
  784. The individualistic, free nature of the English way of life threatens you. So you attack it.
    2
  785. it happened during the lockdowns.
    2
  786. arguably PR voting actually limits democracy because MPs would not be directly answerable to the electorate.
    2
  787. wow, Brexiteers have won the argument. What a wonderful day this is.
    2
  788. Johnson was right. If it wasn't for Johnson the EU would of pulled our country to pieces!! Which you were trying to do!
    2
  789. Really? You predicted this? Anyone could of predicted this!!
    2
  790. Corbyn was popular. At least he was honest. He was a terrible leader. But he was honest.
    2
  791. My neighbour bought his council house. It made him and his family. Working people started businesses too. Alot of working class people really benifited from her policies.
    2
  792. ...no mention of food shortages and war in the middle east and africa? Oh well..
    2
  793. This may cost labour the election. Starmer hardly lead on the issue and the majority of people will be thinking if in power a small minority of militant muslims could potentially take down the entire government.
    2
  794. leftists just want a victim class they can exploit. If imigrants realised the society they live in is structured so they can get on in life and succeed then leftists as we describe them would cease to exist (Which is what happened in the 80s under Margaret Thatcher, millions of the working class climbed the social ladder. It led to the birth of new labour)
    2
  795. ...but Scottish nationalism (Party) is okay? In the insane world of the leftists. Yes it is.
    2
  796. The people who cross the channel are illegal immigrants.
    2
  797. If people have problems and they are not being listened to, then they are going to get irritated aren't they?
    2
  798. Any labour forigien policy Farage doesn't like he'll just get Trump to veto it for him. Musk has 200 million followers, too, and billions of spare cash. Farage has more influence, money and reach than everybody. Has the penny dropped yet?
    2
  799. Sein Fein can't trigger anything. Only Westminster can do that. But its the DUPs own fault, they betrayed their voters.
    2
  800. let's not mention the 400 billion pounds that was printed during the lockdowns and is causing most of the inflation we r seeing now. James o Brian encouraged and defended them.
    2
  801. It has a government. The same government as the majority of the population of the UK.
    2
  802. Talk radio and GB news are private companies. If no one is watching them, they will go off air.
    2
  803. Didn't you chase and intimidate the labour candidate? To the point where he had to hide in a local church?
    2
  804. I'm converting to Catholicism. Ive had enough.
    2
  805. It's already illegal in Scotland.
    2
  806. Starkey described it as a slow march through the institutions. The Soviets lost the cold war but won the ideological battle.
    2
  807. yes, my friends worked for a private school. VAT raids, a hangover from covid, and he mentioned unaffordable pensions contributions to match the state sector. A lot will close. He now works for a comprehensive.
    2
  808. France are blasting these people with water cannons.
    2
  809. the lock downs arguably caused the most damage. Lockdowns you endorsed.
    2
  810. To solve this problem the English had a great idea in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Form massive gangs and go around smashing everywhere up. It certainly kept our working-class men entertained for a few decades.
    2
  811. What do they have in common? They both want to rip down Western civilisation.
    2
  812. exactly!! A cost of living crisis and war in Europe. Its ridiculous. They are all disgraceful.
    2
  813. Ah dont worry, we will probably invite them in as asylum seekers any way and put them in a nice hotel.
    2
  814. Labour and the liberals are gaining in the polls, the majority of labour constituencies voted leave. The constituencies which the Liberals recently gained voted leave. Is it really wise to reignite this debate again?
    2
  815. .....and actual census data. Which is available for free online.
    2
  816. They will probably take over my local park to celebrate Iranian New Year and make a huge mess. Like they do every year.
    2
  817. ed davey (the liberal leader) did exactly the same thing.
    2
  818. I honestly think channel 4 is worse.
    2
  819. Halifax is a business, they need customers and money. People percive this as a political move and their is nothing more decisive than politics.
    2
  820. It not the fact they are female, its the fact they are rubbish!!
    2
  821. The biggest issue is Sunak. He has no mandate to rule. The membership didn't want him, and either did the electorate. No one is listening to him, including the civil service and police. His complete lack of authority is causing the country to die as a result!!
    2
  822. no, he's a politian. It keeps them grounded.
    2
  823. "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering" Friedrich Nietzsche

  824. Your primeminister Modi isn't exactly a fan of Islam, is he?
    2
  825. ....unfortunately Andrew none of your "orginal thoughts" belong to you.
    2
  826. he also sided with the EU over the windsor framework and was with Khan standing next to a dooms day climate clock. What on earth is he doing? The Queen always remained neutral. It is like he wants the monarchy to fail.
    2
  827. hate and resentment is pointless. It's like drinking posion and expecting the other person to die. Its been 5 years.
    2
  828. Modern left? left-wing intellectuals have always loathed the English. "They would sooner steal from the poor box in church than sing the nation anthem" George Orwell 1944. It explains multi culturalism. It explains net zero too. They want them gone, they just hide behind the lies of compassion!!
    2
  829. Mass imigration hasn't help. It forces wages down.
    2
  830. A debt that is so uncomprehendable that they had to try and invent a new way to measure it to make things look better. And the debt to gdp ratio was only 25% when Thatcher was in charge. Someone has clearly lost the plot.
    2
  831. They won all the battles in the 70s and 80s and they set the foundations for the rich prosperous post empire nation Britain become.
    2
  832. Infastructure put in place by the British. Hong-Kong, The USA, India and London. What do they all have in common?
    2
  833. No. Next question.
    2
  834. ​ @jasonhaven7170  How? His family is Indian. His ancestors are Indian. His wife is Indian. He grew up in India. Are you sure?
    2
  835. I think Tony Blair an illegal war and 1 million dead in the middle east may just well win that award.
    2
  836. The Brexit vote is a perfect example of this. The "remoaners" haven't learnt anything in the last 7 years. I also find it odd parts of the political left associate with the EU. It is not a socialist project, it is a neoliberal project ran by the bankers.
    2
  837. is it? Who would have guessed. The Welsh and Scottish assemblies have agreed to match EU funding, England is having hers reduced to nothing.
    2
  838. You want to allow unlimited immigration to flood the labour market and depress wages while simultaneously the workforce to unionise to control the labour supply? Genuinely, I give up!!!
    2
  839. ... Doctor who and Disney appeared to have worked together on this. Disney is currently going bankrupt. Certainly not a great endorsement. But dont forget to check for Kathleen Kennedy under your bed, she is comin' to get ya.
    2
  840. Why does Germany have an immigrant crisis, and England is racist? I give up trying to make sense of leftwingers in this country!
    2
  841. ​​​ @Bobisalive yes it was. Doctors typically induce at 42 weeks. This was week 44. When they finally did induce her it was discovered the baby was dead.
    2
  842. ​ @Bobisalive  It was during the strikes and it appears no one bothered to step until it to late.
    2
  843. I visited Sweden over the Christmas period. It had completely embraced a cashless society and LGBTQ ideology. It certainly isn't free any more. The hotel we stayed in had a power cut and no one could pay for any drinks, and men and women were expected to use the same toilets.
    2
  844. It is sad because the bible actually has the capacity to direct and help alot of misguided people.
    2
  845. The lockdowns increased waiting times. The strikes are increasing waiting times. Shutting down businesses has reduced tax revenues. Are you starting to see a lot of the problems we have you helped to create and contribute to James.
    2
  846. ..brilliant. My tax is probably paying for their benefits so they have the free time to do this. Its a old labour trick, keep than comfortable on free money so they keep voting for Khan.
    2
  847. I guarantee labour will not get in again.
    2
  848. what is a cis man?
    2
  849. all restrictions have been lifted in England. The only thing left is mandatory jabs for NHS workers, they will loose their job if they don't get the jab. Their is public pressure for the government to scrap this plan.
    2
  850. Boris had a 80 seat majority in parliament. He should of had complete control of government. How on earth did this happen?
    2
  851. Tory lite? He's got Blair in the background. We are going back to the 90s, Tory Plus seems more appropriate.
    2
  852. The UK accepted a similar amount. We just didn't make a song and dance about it. Look at census data. Where on earth have these new arrivals come from? All the new Turkish barbers are probably from war zones in the Middle East.
    2
  853. ... no, she was sacked for being useless. She was terrible her job, everything you complain about was her responsibility. At least David Cameron is actually useful.
    2
  854. They preserve their ethnicity because no one want to live there.
    2
  855. Looks like the Blairites have the party back.
    2
  856. ... and coincidentally, no one is talking about the failed Rwanda scheme.
    2
  857. The dollar is strong, and so is the American economy. It will make imported goods cheaper and partially offset the proposed tariffs.
    2
  858. Why would anyone vote for the Conservative party. They don't respect the membership or voters. Sunak was not elected. And that is the biggest crime of all.
    2
  859. "The different understanding of the truth"? I think we've just highlighted the problem. If Islamic societies are failed toltaltian regimes with poor standards of living, then then there version of "The truth" is a lie.
    2
  860. ​​ @Titus9508 Maybe we've lost our connection with what the truth is. But our society is certainly closer to it than any muslim state.
    2
  861. Nigeria, Indian, Bangladesh, the middle east...
    2
  862. Are muslim being persecuted? No. The UK is litterly the safest place for Muslims in Europe.
    2
  863. they are the biggest community in Northern Ireland, if they say its not working then its not working is it?
    2
  864. Germany has reintroduced exactly this. I thought you loved the EU?
    2
  865. Wow. Who would have guessed it, eh? Importing millions of poorly trained people from unproductive Middle Eastern economies would little or no benefit to our country? To be honest my baby could of guessed the out come.
    2
  866. ....when push comes to shove, everyone will fall to the USAs will.
    2
  867.  @lizcolton9832  I see, he had a whole year to experience the delights of the EEC.
    2
  868.  @lizcolton9832  when was the winter of discontent?
    2
  869. ​ @stephfoxwell4620 Well its even worse than I realised.
    2
  870. I think the BBC had a partnership with Disney. Which goes along way to explain why Doctor Who is such a mess.
    2
  871. Go woke, go broke, eh liz?
    2
  872. why should he leave? He won a 80 seat majority. He was voted in.
    2
  873. You can be left leaning and conservative. You can start a family and still support trade unions, a NHS and decent social care.
    2
  874. "I may be merely insular, but I have no prejudice in a Britain planned for the British by the British. Therefore, as at present advised, I am quite unconvinced either that it is necessary or that it is even desirable that we should go into the Common Market.” Clement Atlee 1962
    2
  875. They kept the economy propped up with quantative easing. It has led to huge inflation. But we borrowed the money, we never paid it back, and it crashed the economy. Everyone is to blame.
    2
  876. ​ @Jack-fs2im  Is that actually white bread? Or a werid mix and different flour to bring down the price?
    2
  877. Northern Ireland was occupied by the Scottish. Not English.
    2
  878.  @corneliusantonius3108  Well it won't be for long new environmental legislation is forcing 1/3 of livestock farmers out of business.
    2
  879.  @corneliusantonius3108  ...and thanks to the EU Dutch horticulture destroyed Gurnseys previously thriving flower industry.
    2
  880.  @kevhavard  "Year to date 60,600 tonnes of fresh and frozen lamb has been exported from the UK, up 10.4% (5,700 tonnes) on the same period last year. Overall, the EU has seen an 11.8% (6,000 tonnes) increase in exports" AHDB 2022. We haven't lost any market, exports to the EU are increasing.
    2
  881. A huge stock of affordable housing does exist. I live in a very wealthy county, but you can buy high-quality, terraced houses relatively cheaply. They are perfect for 1st time buyers or single people. 1/4 of mortgages are people earning less than £30000.
    2
  882. ...because they are children. Just let them play in the mud and learn their multiplication table. If they want to transition, let them decide to do it when they are adults.
    2
  883. Sein fein is a anti EU nationalist party. So i would argue what is happening in Ireland is in line with the rest of the Britsh Isles.
    2
  884. while the more toltaltian policy appears to come from SNP and labour ran assemblies.
    2
  885. Under Corbyn Labour won 40% of the vote percentage and nearly 13 million votes. Under Starmer Labour won 34% of the vote percentage and only 9.6 million votes. Starmer is a lucky man the Tory party imploded.
    2
  886. America is our closest ally. Culturally and politically. To name just a small number of Labour incidents; Khan has flown a giant Trump blimp through London, Lammy has called him racist, and Starmer has snubbed Musk and insulted Farage. If i were Trump, I'd make Starmers life a nightmare. And i bet he will.
    2
  887. yes, i think it should. You need a buffer country between us and Russia.
    2
  888. Following on this train of thought I was recently informed on a trip to Gurnsey that a black person saved the island and its castle from invasion, 400 years ago apparently. Who new eh?
    2
  889. The Guardian was founded by a cotton trader. The cotton would of been picked by slaves. He made his off the back of the slave trade!!
    2
  890.  @edenbreckhouse  See the bible as a 3000 year old self help book. A collection of stories and parables which if you follow will improve your life. God is the metaphorically all seeing eye that judges you (and punishes) when you fail to follow the rules. He is the ultimate ideal of self improvement and pinical of human possibility.
    2
  891. We are morally obliged to defend ourselves. Isreal is an ally. Iran certainly isn't.
    2
  892. I'm from the north, and I get a lot of aggressive behaviour from asian groups and new arrivals. I'm English and white. In barbers, picnic sites, and even when I've been with my baby son. Ive been chased in my car before. All very recently too.
    2
  893. ​@palerider955James is wipping hatred towards English people. I have another example, and because of this, they perceive its okay.
    2
  894. ​@palerider955...up until recently, I have never felt unsafe in this country before.
    2
  895. maybe the £400 billion printed during the lockdowns has something to do with it. They made our currency worthless.
    2
  896. In defence of England, most of us were unaware the empire existed. They don't really care. And the history of England predates it by at least 1000 years.
    2
  897. I've just done some research.... "A  10% increase in the number of police recorded offences involving knives or sharp instruments (knife-enabled crime) to 49,027 offences; this remained lower than the year ending March 2020 where there were 55,078 offences" ONS 2022. So we are hardly recording recording figures are we??? Its actual dropped over the last two years
    2
  898. ...and the sad reality is Labour are seen as the better choice at the moment.
    2
  899.  @user-ze8yy8jg1f  The UK didn't want to move in the army. It had to. It was to protect local people from sein feins death squads.
    2
  900. Am I the only one who thinks the muslim vote doesn't matter? The further Starmer distances himself from them, the further he rises in the polls.
    2
  901. ​​ @dazjackson1972 Alot of young people feel pushed out the system. They can not afford housing, rent and utilities are expensive and they have huge debts. Who would you vote for at this point? Corbyn would be a terrible leader. But he is relevant.
    2
  902. Walker being a smug pr**k.
    2
  903. Police have recently foiled a terrorist attack on the Jewish community in Manchester. Why do we keep letting me in?
    2
  904. I feel the same. But now adays everyone litterly competes to have the title of the biggest victim. Everyone competes for the most pity!!
    2
  905. they are everywhere in Stockholm.
    2
  906. Hard to believe Lebanon used to be a Christian majority country. What on earth happened?
    2
  907. I remember that in primary school, we had knives. We used to compare them during the school holidays. My dad bought me a rifle and air pistol too, I was 10 years old. I'm not old either. Im a man in my 30s.
    2
  908. Seriously?
    2
  909. They should rejoin Great Britain. We have free healthcare and cheaper housing. We had the occasional train bomb, but they were overall okay. But quangos are a big problem here too. They are unelected and have huge powers.
    2
  910. ....she plans to combat racism by stirring racial division? Great plan luv!!
    2
  911. ....this woman has proved why the majority of the country voted for Boris Johnson at the last election.
    2
  912. ​ @randomname3109 ...it getting serious. From a personal perspective I have chased in my car, pushed off picnic sites and even harrased while getting a hair cut. If challenged they simply pull the Islamipobia card!
    2
  913. It looks like Sunak was right, he had a plan. Starmer clearly doesn't.
    2
  914. yes, tax them like smokers. Cancers, mental health, hip and knee replacements. They do take more care.

    2
  917. Dont mess with Isreal.
    2
  918. This is typical Campbell spin. Labour lost seats and got a smaller vote share than the conservatives. He then thinks Labour should be able to form a government. What a plonker.
    2
  919. Yes. Out of a possible 100 men, i know at least 15% have been on anti depressants, been placed in a mental asylum, or tried to commit suicide.
    2
  920. It's not a cult. The man offered clear leadership and direction. Corbyn, the alternative was a mess. He won 2 London elections and a majority in 2019. You guys just seem to take reality and just spin it for your own agenda.
    2
  921. He is probably looking to do a deal on migration to fill service sector jobs now we've left the EU (I'm not joking)
    2
  922. Alot of young people can't afford the house prices in rural villages and the old people aren't giving up their houses.
    2

  925. I can't really see Sunak fighting tooth and nail to win the next election for the conservatives and their voters. Boris would, that man was an animal.

  926. People think they are morally superior and in someway intelligent because they chose not to have children to save the planet? I am lost for words. You die. Your genes die. Millions of years of survival gone because your to lazy to try and have s*x.

  927. hmm, is it well intentioned?

  928. ​​​ @scottyfive4319 William the conqueror, was forced on England. He invaded, decapitated the English ruling class and replaced them with norman nobles, stole all the land, wiped out 500 years of history, replaced the English language with French and murdered half the population on England.

  930. France were a defeated nation, if it wasn't for the British sticking up for them they wouldn't of even been allowed an army after ww2.

  931. yes, the anglo saxons came from that area.

  932. Political correctness was apparently old soviet ideology. It was designed to shut up its population.

  933. The fall of the SNP was actually a big reason the conservatives lost.

  934. Brilliant. So they want USA money but at the same time want to take them to court. Are these people idiots?

    2
  939. a reason exists why people are risking their lives to cross the channel. You are free in England.

  940. It is mandatory here in the UK. A criminal conviction and a £2000 fine.

  941. People aren't sceptical. They are just concerned you will destroy the working class to achieve your goals. If you pay your taxes like the rest of us and i will be willing to listen (after a small amount of research he is set up as a limited company)

  942. Im pretty sure we exported it too America. The far left in this country have always been a demoralising bunch.

  943. I have a work friend. She would prefer to be single, living in an unsecure flat share on the edge of London than in a happy marriage with children and extended family around her. I can't understand it. She was in her early 30s.
    2
  944. it opens up trade in the Pacific, a free trade deal in America, allows the UK to keep part of its country within the EU and have access to the single market aswell as so many other avenues. I think you are wrong here, we will be the only country in the world both in the EU and able to sign our own trade deals.
    2
  945. what were the options James? If you had your way we would of been signed upto the jurisdiction of a foreign court with zero say in any of the laws passed. Are you smart enough to grasp that? That in every way is wrong!!
    2
  946. Historically controlled imigration was a left-wing topic. Maybe you are the problem.
    2
  947. I don't know. Parliament colapsed recently because of Islamists' threats towards labour. Starmer is also incapable of making a decision. He failed on Brexit, Gaza, and the trans debate. If I've noticed, so has everyone else. Weighing up the two men, Sunak is the better option.
    2
  948. The only way the conservatives have a chance of winning is to figure out how to absorb Reform voters back in the fold.

  950. All the statistics will disagree with you. Higher death rates, Higher drug problems, lower education standards and to top it off you're going through huge austerity because you over spent.
    2
  951. The amusing thing is Norway probably contributes huge amounts of money to the EU budget and its entire trade policy, and numerous laws are dictated to it by Brussels. You have no say in anything. It was why the UK turned down May's Brexit deal.
    2
  952. Wrestling, religion, fast food. His campaign was very much marketed to the heart of America (Plus, he had the owner of Twitter on his side. Elon Musks' media influence is now arguably bigger than Murdoch)

  967. ​ @l3eatalphal3eatalpha  It is true. In 1920 80% were in the private rental market. 20% owned a home. House ownership peaked in the mid 00s.
    2
  968. ​ @Cronhour  Social housing actually still makes up 20% of the housing mix. It only peaked at around 30% in 1980.
    2
  969. ​ @The2wanderers If you don't have some form of profit their is zero incentive to build any form of rental properties. Which is actually one of the problems causing the shortage in the marketplace now.

    2
  975. Look at it from this angle. After the referendum and weighing up all possible outcomes and all possible scenarios. Was Boris Johnson the best possible outcome? hmmm yes.

  979. stable government, the economy is growing, retail sales are robust, jobs are being created and one of the worlds biggest banks jp morgan is now saying it is time to buy British. To normal people and global investors Britain is doing fine.

  982. Would the English woman be accepted with open arms in Asia? Would she be allowed to vote, buy property and start a business. No. England is very excepting in comparison.
    2
  983. ....and house price may of been £6000. But intrest rates were alot higher. My inlaws bought a house in the 80s, it took him 30 years to pay it off and his wife worked hard too.

  990. Students haven't done the hard work. Thats the problem.

  991. it is profiteering. Farmers and manufacturers are making record profits.

    2
  993. ​ @jeffsimon9594  Exactly. I have never seen anything like this. What on earth is going on?
    2
  994. They go from the Middle East to Europe, to England, to North Ireland to Ireland. What nonsense.
    2
  995. It's always been in chaos. Sein Fein collapsed the assembly in 2017 for 3 years due to something as daft as a failed renewable energy initiative. No one cared then. You have to work with both sides and they have to be treated fairly!!
    2
  996. Pretty much sums it up. Effectively the person with the biggest army decalred himself king 1000 years ago and we've being stuck with them ever since!!
    2
  997. Train drivers didn't keep the economy working during the pandemic, everyone was working from home. But they deserve at least a 3-5% payrise. Anything else is unfair.
    2
  998. Is this really a surprise? All the clues where there when was in opposition.
    2
  999. Haven't the IMF just announced the UK is set to grow this year?
    2
  1000. It was the Brexit election in 2019. Corbyn sat on the fence, Boris gave clear direction. Thats why he lost.
    2
  1001. technically he is a man in a wig.
    2
  1002. The pound is currently rising, and the cost of production is falling. Inflation should sort itself out.
    2
  1003. Reform where the only party to significantly gain voters in the election. The SNP, Tory and Labour all lost votes.
    2
  1004. They won't pay any tax. It'll all be placed into a trust.
    2
  1005. Good idea. It'll reduce the supply and make the problem worse!!
    2
  1006. ​​ @albinoboy5312 ...do you understand how our system works? We technically don't vote for a party or a primeminister. We vote for the individual who represents our seat. But in reality people do vote for a leader 1st and a party 2nd, parties that replace leaders mid term typically don't win at the next election.
    2
  1007. ​ @chazzerbox131 Okay yes, huge differences exists in powers. BUT in a national election the leader plays a huge role who you will vote for. So we do vote for a leader. It is not normal the way the conservatives party have acted to replace two party leaders in a such a short space of time.
    2
  1008. What is the reason MPs are getting over £30 million of tax money exactly? I believe it is for protection. What exactly do they need protection from?
    2
  1009. ...yes blame the world. It's not you. It's the world. Good grief!!!
    2
  1010. We became world leaders in other areas, video games, finance, entertainments, sports ect. The F1, all teams are based here. The Premiership, its world famous!! London is also a world leading city. We make the best video games and in recent times exported Harry Potter, Ed sheeran and Adele. We just dont compete in a conventional sense, but that was the whole point!!
    2
  1011.  @thedude9014  London is still culturally the world's most significant city. The premier league is still gaining abroad and terms of filming we are still very competitive. The low pound is the problem, people's disposal income is being spent on fuel (it is bought in Dollars) Boris also keeps putting up taxes.
    2
  1012.  @crewie94  apart from the USA and Japan the UK isn't far behind. All the best games are made here. Not actually true, they are high end industry which employ people with high salaries. They then generate tax revenues which goes into the public purse. The billions of pounds generated from the premiership has completely transformed parts of Manchester and the North West. Ed sheeran is an amazing man, he generates millions and pays his taxes. He single handed pays for a nhs hospital.
    2
  1013.  @crewie94  the UK economy is diverse, we have 5 million self employed, produce oil, gas, a car manufacturing base. We export financial services. A booming leisure industry and a world class agricultural sector. The diverse nature of economy is endless!!
    2
  1014.  @HH-hd7nd  Isn't coco traded in pounds?
    2
  1015.  @thedude9014  London was never a center for stocks and shares. That's New York job. What it lost was irrelevant. Its place is unique.
    2
  1016. yes im sure the British will jump at the chance to be part of Macrons 3rd tier EU club!!
    2
  1017. yep, sounds about right.
    2
  1018. Just get on with it, the time for debate is past!! They've been dragging this on for years now, wasted tens of billions and hundreds of thousands of peoples lives along the proposed route are stuck in limbo!
    2
  1019. ...because everything you say goes against everything you learn in the real world.
    2
  1020. a huge proportion of the electorate still support Boris. He won the election and won a huge majority. I don't know what the consequences of this is going to be. It isn't going to be good for the conservatives, the electorate will feel betrayed.
    2
  1021. Great. Now, our country is even more ungovernable. The civil service can not strike in Germany. it's a threat to national security.
    2
  1022. You could also compare it to the 2015 election. UKIP got 3.8 million votes. They were the 3rd biggest party by vote share. Much larger than the SNP or Liberals. They got 1 seat.
    2
  1023. They were one of the richest countries in Europe before they joined the Euro. A currency they can't control, combined with a voting system which keeps delivering weak governance. They are trapped for ever.
    2
  1024. communism?
    2
  1025. I've read we are due to join the CPTPP very shortly. They can moan all they want.
    2
  1026. ..a large proportion of the world is actually at war. Maybe England is just a safe place? I mean i would want to come here...
    2
  1027. I read once when a woman gets to 30 the amount of decent men in the dating market is limited. The men are either married, gay, in prison or killed themselves in testosterone fuled acts of stupidity. So in short their are not enough men to go around.
    2
  1028. ...i didn't realise they were secret. Isreal has a population of 8 million. They are surrounded by 200 Muslims. They need something to level the playing field. All the top nuclear scientists were Jewish.

    2
  1031. if you try and explain to a new arrival thats not how its done in England you are accused of rasism. My friend was accused of racism after a asian lady refused him access to his bank account, the bank launched an investigation.

  1032. Our push towards net zero has made us reliant on expensive imports.
    2
  1033. no.

    2
  1035. "They don't love the poor, they just hate the rich"
    2
  1036. You could argue Johnson was actually one of the few politicians that actually listened, understood the system and understood the majority. Its why he won.
    2
  1037. I don't blame them. When you take into account student loans, 40% of their income is going in taxes. They you take into account house prices and bills. How can anyone afford to get on?
    2
  1038. Trump has lost two popular votes in a row. Why are they betting on him a third time?
    2
  1039. If Indian actually embraced British parliamentary democracy and capitalism following independence quicker you would be higher up the global league tableby now.
    2
  1040. I think the bigger question is how Europe would of survived with out the UK. Russia would of probably been on the borders of Poland and EU right now.
    2
  1041. Save England? You juzt openly admitted you don't like being labelled as English!
    2
  1042. Having revised your video. I actually agree. The right always claims to have a monopoly on religion. But Keir Hardie, the founder of the labour party, was a Christaian preacher. He wasn't a marxist and was trying to do the right thing. Labour needs to remind everyone when the free market goes too far. And based on the teachings from the bible it often does "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that which he hath" Mathew 25:29
    2
  1043. yes, you are right. He was a given a very safe Tory seat, failed against Liss truss in the leadership contest and taken advantage of Boris Johnsons 80 seat majority. No one actually wants him and hasn't actually won anything.
    2
  1044. liss truss and her diversity hires have just crashed the pound!! Didn't see that coming...

  1045. ​ @matthewrotherham1 I'd argue a 20-minute episode of South Park has a more intelligent, balanced and frankly more honest opinion than anything James o Brian has said in the last 10 years.
    2
  1046. You rep what you sow. And this is the type of politics he has helped to create.
    2
  1047. ...i suppose we will see at the next election. Credit to Sunak he is a capable man. More so than Starmer in my opinion. His qualities are often missed.
    2
  1048. ​​ @ednadawson728 England is a 1500 year old country with a unique culture and way of life. We are not Nigerian. Politics is about tribes and people, and no one in the conservative party understands the people who they are supposedly here to represent.
    2
  1049. ​ @ednadawson728 You talk rubbish. Endless talk about the muslim vote at the last election. Hindus were collectively trying to influence government in their favour, and then we had BLM too. This all looks extremely tribal to me.
    2
  1050. Out of all the countries that held referendums within the EU regarding membership. The UK was the only one that followed through on the result.
    2
  1051. They don't have a majority. Unionist do.
    2
  1052. They are a mass of contradictions. They are pro feminism, animal rights, and LGBTQ*. At the same time think the more extreme elements of Islam are okay because it is their culture.

  1055. The entire of Eastern Europe is in NATO!! Their is no buffer zone like in the Cold War. Russia wants all western powers out of Eastern Europe. And we have just let Finland join too, they also border Russia. Its going take virtually nothing for this to kick off. War appears to be unavoidable!!
    2
  1056. It is traditionally a working mans game. Men used to come back from the pub on a Saturday to watch match of the day. It still is by in large. You stick women in their and they just turn off. Football focus is an example. "Go woke, go broke" springs to mind.
    2
  1057. ??? Perhaps Putin did that?? And our own perceived weakness?
    2
  1058. ​ @mortdewerewolfe691 The police are their to protect us. Sometimes force is morally the correct action. And siding with a dangerous person for the sake of political correctness shows how doomed this country is.
    2
  1059. Farmers are leaving the industry because supermarkets are not paying the cost of production. A billion less eggs are now being produced. This is causing the food inflation. How does putting up intrest rates solve this problem?
    2
  1060. This sounds very much like Northern Ireland.
    2
  1061. ​ @davidmcculloch8490 Why?
    2
  1062. ​ @hardy_har  because historically, they performed in dodgy bars in the back streets of London. Not in English primary schools.

    2
  1065. its about 30 years to late to bring this up.
    2
  1066. Sunak has held his opinions on Brexit, is clearly able to identify what a woman is and showed clear leadership on Palestine. Starmer has flapped about on all these subjects
    2
  1067. The fact i want to work and not give my money to someone else is not far right. Why would I work 60 hours a week to give 50% of earnings to someone else? It's my money. I earned it.
    2
  1068. We tried this. This is how it ended. Multi culturalism was great in the 00s, and there was only one culture.
    2
  1069. This is rubbish. People forget how worthless lambs while in the EU. All through the 90s and 00s farmers were literally giving them away, baby calfs were being shot because they were worthless. Since 2016 farmers have made money and typically prices have been good. Harry is to young to remember the reality of being the EU.

  1086. Of course. If you like expensive bills, a reliance on imported energy and the occasional black out (I live in England, we dont see the sun for 7 months of the year, yet we keep investing in solar)
    2
  1087. I disagree the Eastern Europeans seem to like us, we nearly won Euro vision. That is just a big popularity contest. The Iraq/Afghanistan war was what really damaged our international standing.

  1091. Okay. He has a point. Excessive money printing has caused most of the problems

FRANCE in 2021 2,935.49 billion. 2022 - 2,936.70. GREAT BRITAIN in 2021 3,187.63 billion. 2022 - 3,376.00 billion. Italys economy has shrunk.

  1099. Surely by selling the oil and reducing the large tax burden placed on our children because of our mistakes, it will help future generations to get on in life?
    2
  1100. 3 councillors have asked him to go. That is it.
    2
  1101. The bigger question is what on earth was going on in the home office that allowed this situation to get so bad.
    2
  1102. Great Britain is insane. We have just appointed a 22 year old lord mayor of London, not because of his abilities, but because he was a Muslim. Apparently, this is something we are proud of.
    2
  1103. ​ @MIEJ4 We do have a free trade agreement. It's called "The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement." We've also signed a free trade agreement with the "comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, " which is most of Asia, Canada, and Australia
    2
  1104. How does a modern bank run even work? All my high street banks are shut down, my bank transfers/payments are completed via an app and all my transactions are cashless.
    2
  1105. What are you on about? Do you understand the concept of planes? We are all replaceable now adays.
    2
  1106. The conservatives party are not exactly much better. High tax, high spending and a bunch of 2nd rate diversity hires.
    2
  1107. I can't speak for Bedfordshire but they lost Tamworth because developers kept building all over the green belt and the mess regarding HS2. They are really mad.
    2
  1108. You mix it with popular Marxism, which is everywhere, (eg, dividing everyone into specific ridgid racial groups and the victim oppressor mentality), and it is a very dangerous ideology. The groups eventually turn on each other, which is what i belive is playing out now.
    2
  1109. ​ @teddyboysdontknit810 It still has a open border, Great Britain gave consessions while the EU insisted on maintaining it single market. The good Friday agreement all so states Ireland must give up all territorial ambitions in Northern Ireland and both sides should be treated equally.
    2
  1110. ​ @teddyboysdontknit810 The GFA doesn't mention the Irish border and has no mention of the EU.
    2
  1111. ​​ @arthurgoodness7865 he British won. They effectively achieved all their objectives and Ireland gave up any type of claim to Northern Ireland. Maintaining both the EU single market and the GFA agreement does not work, you are effectively isolating one of the main communities!! The new Windsor framework is actually an acknowledgement of that.
    2
  1112. Disastrous shift to the right? They were a disastrous government!! Nothing works properly anymore!! You could even blame the riots on an underfunded home office!!
    2
  1113. Boris johnson was only 6 points behind in the polls mid-term. Sunak is currently 20 points. Cammeron overturned a 15 point deficite to win a majority. So why did they get rid of him again?
    2
  1114. ​​ @chrisjackson1215 I mean physically it is the center. Its positioning allows London to trade with people all over the world. Not just Europe. And London has a network of old colonies where you can stash your cash away tax free. No other countries has this.
    2
  1115. The fact you are where trying to lock up Elon Musk for stating an opinion proves he was right.
    2
  1116. ​@kizzagt no he didn't. He was not a fan of the EU
    2
  1117.  @kizzagt  In the end Thatcher was against the EU. A dislike of the EU was actually something Corbyn and Thatcher had in common.
    2
  1118. The Irish courts ruled the UK wasn't a safe country. They can't send them back.
    2
  1119. ....They will destroy the high street and all private business and then act shocked when they have no tax money for basic services. This stupidity can't go on for long, their will be nothing left.
    2
  1120. She is the home secretary, and comands the police. Isn't she supposed to be in charge of the speed awareness course?
    2
  1121. I'd hardly call it a deadlock. Germany isn't bothered and the USA is more concerned about China.
    2
  1122. The term "British army" was a term that covered a quarter of the globe.
    2
  1123. ​ @lazorr3260 That's not why im annoyed. You are asking me to accept a lie. And if I don't go along with the lie I could potentially find myself in jail. Wear what you want, I would say its none of my business. But these people insist on making it my business.
    2
  1124. ​ @lazorr3260 A woman can't have a penis. It's a lie. In alot of people's mind that is what the debate is about. The quest for the truth and freedom of speech.
    2
  1125. ​ @lazorr3260 If I don't accept the lie I could find myself in trouble for a hate crime.
    2
  1126. ​ @lazorr3260 A man can't have a penis. It's a lie. In alot of people's mind that is what the debate is about. The quest for the truth and freedom of speech.
    2
  1127. ​ @treeaboo A woman can not have a penis. How am I wrong?
    2
  1128. The debate around "trans men and women" is about the truth and freedom of speech. You want to control our speech and accept something which is effectively a lie.
    2
  1129. They only eat halal food. How we pretend we are all the same when we don't even know this?
    2
  1130. ​​​​ @Lee_303 He has Jewish family in Isreal. His wife is Jewish, his kids have been brought up Jewish. He is a member of the Church of England. To be honest the man is the perfect candidate.
    2
  1131. ​​ @johnmcmanus7328 ...the candidate needs to be a protastant to win.
    2
  1132. He is worth 4 million pounds. The cost of net zero is not going to bother him. Your money can pay for your morals Chris. T*t.
    2
  1133. So lets sum this up; the left specifically places people into racial cattorgories, creating a dangerous victim oppressor dynamic, while simultaneously encouraging limitless immigration to England, who you then tell are somehow victims and oppressed by the current English population? Is this summary accurate?
    2
  1134. leftist propaganda
    2
  1135. She hasn't got a leg to stand on. She was in charge when imigration was spiralling out of control.
    2
  1136. james o Brian a publicly educated white upper class male, who voted for Boris, edited in the daily express and wrote articles in the spectator. Why is this guy pretending to be a advocate of the left?
    2
  1137. No one likes Macron.
    2
  1138. Political joe is a rather white bunch. We clearly need more diversity.
    2
  1139. Ukraine is not winning. No one is winning. It's war. Everyone loses.
    2
  1140. ​ @martynjones8560 why? We are currently about to sign a trade deal with cptpp and doesn't Northern Ireland currently have access to the EU single market? Am I wrong?
    2
  1141. ​​​ @uingaeoc3905 ow does it send goods to the Republic then? As far as i understand no customs border exists between Northern Ireland and the EU.
    2
  1142. ​ @uingaeoc3905 Northern Ireland is part of the UK and has complete tarrif free access to the single market.
    2
  1143. ​​ @uingaeoc3905 he whole point of the protocol was to maintain frictionless trade between north and south was it not? Northern Ireland (which is the UK) has frictionless trade with the EU. Why am I wrong?
    2
  1144. ​ @uingaeoc3905 The arrangements are not the same. Northern Ireland remains in the single market. Great Britain is no longer in the single market.
    2
  1145. it was actually an intresting ending to the episode. Harry acknowledged his mistakes, left Megan, asked if he could "play" and was accepted back into the group.
    2
  1146. ​ @laurencedavey3121 Read 1984, that is what happens what happens when their is no market mechanism indicating what people want!!
    2
  1147. He had to, the SNP are needed in Scotland to keep the conservatives in power.
    2
  1148. ​​​​ @keithpanton7486  trying and failing is a million times better than being stuck on a universal income. Any job and even slight progression in life is better than that!
    2
  1149. ​ @Bookish1995  They are paying the under classes off because they percive them as useless.
    2
  1150. raising taxes doesnt always increase revenue. It often disensetavises the biggest contributors and you end up with less tax and less growth.
    2
  1151. yes, thanks to the booming private sector!!
    2
  1152. Unions dont really work nowadays. Especially in England. You just get replaced by a machine or a forigien labourer. You are completely replaceable.
    2
  1153. ...and it appears Trump does not care about Ukraine or European security.
    2
  1154. Keep in mind these are the same people who labeled the AUKUS as a threat to world peace.
    2
  1155. I have to say the people who comment on here are largely disgusting and hugely disrespectful to the people of Bury South.
    2
  1156. Blair actually won his leadership contest and 3 consecutive general elections!! No one actually wants Sunak!
    2
  1157. Mass migration is a ploy to control wage inflation and ensure profits. Boris even admitted it in an interview. Inflation can kill a country. When the economy re-opened and we had huge labour shortages, mass migration was the preferred choice and the lesser of two outcomes.
    2
  1158.  @bocaj.455  the oinks? Are you a real person?
    2
  1159. Andrew I disagree. I think you misunderstand the UK, it has the ability to morph, change, adapt and to replace its leaders. The power of democracy. It is something muslim countries and the majority of the rest of the world doesn't have. You perceive it is weak, it is and always will be strong. For that reason alone England will always win.
    2
  1160. The British home secretary rarely bothers to deal with our own terrorist issues, India and her problems has no chance.
    2
  1161. when you have a imigrant stabbing children you are going to be a little cautions about new arrivals aren't you?
    2
  1162. ​ @Ellis-Tor Life is hard, and every choice offers risk. But talking as a millennial who didn't really wake up until his early 30s, marriage is 1 million times better than the alternatives.
    2
  1163. Woke end game. The potential consequences are horrible. You hire people who aren't qualified for the job, the company suffers, goes bankrupt and everyone looses their job. This is happening in the world of business and politics. It's bad.
    2
  1164. Who's great idea was a cashless society again?
    2
  1165. What I'm witnessing is New Middle Eastern arrivals have absolutely no clue how to interact with Englands current population!! It is bejond ridiculous!!
    2
  1166. NATO = Keep America up, Russia out and Germany down!! Sounds about right....
    2
  1167. ....That's rather depressing, mate.
    2
  1168. The cost. I just got a £1000 bill to fix the catalytic convertor on a rubbish old fiesta. Thank you net zero.
    2
  1169. Ukraine is not part of Nato.
    2
  1170. I'm guessing soviet Russia.
    2
  1171. Low debt is preferable. It means lower taxes and higher disposable income. If you are young, that is what you need. High debt puts you under the control of the lenders, If you annoy them, they can put up interest rates making our lives more difficult. Which is more or less what happened to liz truss.
    2
  1172. I actually agree. Im typically right wing. But people like Dyson are just pushing up land prices and using land as a tax dodge. I can't imagine their kids will work 60 hours a week knee in cow muck. They won't be, so why do they deserve the tax break?
    2
  1173. the BBC, James o Brian, Have I got news for you. You all aided in his assention to power.
    2
  1174. no, the conservatives under Cammeron have already reformed planning laws so developers can build on green belt. They are taking nonsense.
    2
  1175. we don't. The majority of workers wages have been stagnant for years and they cannot strike, all our taxes have risen to pay for public sector wage increases and we have a huge NHS backlog, yet they are not working. I don't think anyone is supporting this.
    2
  1176. If look at recent UK census data. You can see declining birth rates. Virtually every area has seen a fall in the white British population.
    2
  1177. It completely did. And they took a further step in 2008. They bought out the banks after the crash. The British government controls a huge proportion of the world's financial sector. The Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBS, Lloyd's. They are owned by the British.
    2
  1178. which is strange because the majority of the settlers in the north are scottish.
    2
  1179. At least he went to fight. What are you guys doing??
    2
  1180. They are probably behind the uncontrolled imigration
    2
  1181. I think its terrible when grownups place all their anxiety and stress onto their kids. Let them be kids.
    2
  1182. It was a reality in communist Russia. A single party state, child spies, everything is rubbish because no market mechanism exists to tell society what needs to be produced, gulags and mass political purges. This wasn't fiction. It really happened.
    2
  1183. Do any of these people have actual jobs?
    2
  1184. i blame the marxists for depressing everyone. According to them, it is best not to start a family, dont try and buy a house, don't invest in your future, and don't find wider meanng in family. Just sit at home in the dark, be depressed and blame everyone else for your failure.
    2
  1185. Its you!!
    2
  1186. we voted for Boris didn't we?
    2
  1187. "Last week a judge ruled that nine Afghan asylum seekers who hijacked an aircraft to fly to Britain should not be returned to their country because to do so would be to risk subjecting them to 'inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' and therefore a breach of their human rights. The Prime Minister described the verdict as 'an abuse of common sense'" Tony Blairs opinion on the ECHR in 2006.
    2
  1188. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" Yes, America is Christian.
    2
  1189. Boris is still offering the country direction and leadership. Keir Starmer can't even identify what a woman is. I have summed up the whole debate in a paragraph. You are welcome.
    2
  1190. His party consistently had more votes than the SNP.
    2
  1191. sigh! I can't even be bothered to try and understand the stupidity of this youtube video....
    2
  1192. .....one step towards totalitarianism at a time.
    2
  1193. Is Tony Blair and Madelson ready? Is the real question. They clearly pull the strings
    2
  1194. The Iraqi kurds have been freed. They are living in peace now. No one ever mentions that.
    2
  1195. I work 50 hours a week. Why were my taxes being used to effectively subsidize a failing French farm? I am not paying the EU so a Frenchman can eat cheese and drink wine (you think im joking, I am not)
    2
  1196. James is an ex public school boy, who has voted for Boris, edited in the daily express and wrote articles for the Spectator.
    2
  1197. no one likes what James has to say, he has virtually lost every single debate he's sided on.
    2
  1198. Freedom.
    2
  1199. I would sooner work for a English company than a French one. The English leave you to get on with things, the French micro manage everything. Our cultures are very different and this is seen on a societal level. People in France are on edge and have alot more to riot about.
    2
  1200. Now? This has been going on for years. Schools with academy status are allowed to teach what they want. My friend is a teacher. You would not believe how bad it is. Schools are not places to learn. They are indoctrination camps.
    2
  1201. James o Brian. A man doing his best to keep labour out of power for the next 20 years.
    2
  1202. It won't. They'll just go bust.
    2
  1203. You're referencing American history. But life is hard. It's not supposed to be easy.
    2
  1204. Has this guy been arrested under the new UK anti terrorism laws yet?
    2
  1205. james o Brian man of the people!!
    2
  1206. That's the issue we left it behind. Russia and China are expanding, and the west either expands or we lose everything. Because they will take it, and you're dumb enough to let them.
    2
  1207. Ah Gary. The multi millionaire, elitist footballer who played sport in a billion pound organisation now demanding equality of out come. What a man, what a hero!!
    2
  1208. ​ @richardcory5024 The suspension would have triggered a by-election.
    2
  1209. I was in Warrington recently. Half the people in KFC were Asian. Blackpool, too. I stopped to eat with my family. I was the minority.
    2
  1210. You are aware this law already exists in Germany? It is illegal for the civil to strike in the EU.
    2
  1211. Elon Musk appears to be highlighting to hundreds of millions the stupidity of Labour.
    2
  1212. A faction of the left (the parties of the working people) are highly contradictory. They support the EU, which is a free market project ran by the bankers. They claim they care about the poor, while supporting environmental policies which would wipe them out. They will go along with anything, providing it will help them win an argument.
    2
  1213. The irony. You demanded independence from the British, messed it all up and now appear to want to be ruled by them again.
    2
  1214. Elements of socialism can work. You just need extremely wealthy productive people to pay for it.
    2
  1215. You could very much make the case state schooled Starmer is a self made man who has achieved a hec of alot more than the billionaire eatonian who thinks its OK not to pay taxes.
    2
  1216. They know its stupid. They are just pushing to see what nonsense they can get away with.
    2
  1217. ....its not dead. It lives on in Keir Starmer and Tony Blair.
    2
  1218. ...i work 50 hours a week and I voted leave. Mainly to stop my hard earned tax money subsidising useless, bankrupt tiny French farms and EU industry. They can pay for their own failing industry!!
    2
  1219. i agree, the unionist make up the majority of the northern Irish assembly.
    2
  1220. The management closed ranks and protected the institution. They even tried to ruin the careers of the people who tried to speak out.
    2
  1221. I hope so. Labours Rochdale candidate couldn't even speak English, was born in Pakistan and had zero historic links to the area.
    2
  1222. Labour stand for highly paid unionised public sector workers and forigieners. That is it!!
    2
  1223. People in Bury South are not happy about the defection. They feel betrayed. You can't vote for a Conservative mp and then let them defect to Labour. A by election should be called. This is why people in the north are sick of labour. They just do not respect the electorate. Its been highlighted again!!
    2
  1224. ....you can probably blame the comprehensives for the ideological quagmire we're in now.
    2
  1225. In the imortal words of Eric Cartman "Just put a ethnic chick in it and make her gay"
    2
  1226. They are communists. They don't want to create something beautiful. They want to jealousy tear up something that is good.
    2
  1227. Northern Ireland is the most heavily subsidied area of the UK. They take advantage of the NHS, free prescriptions and large sums of tax payers money. We cant even sell our goods their without having to overcome large trade barriers. Its ridiculous.
    2
  1228. Say what you want about Thatcher but she did leave the books in a reasonable condition. A 30% debt to GDP ratio, 5% of GDP spent on defence, free healthcare and tutition fees too.
    2
  1229. My friend is a university lecturer. He said because of grade inflation people are making it onto university degree courses who really shouldn't be there. Universities are pocketing students cash and because they are incapable are being kicked out after the first year. If you look at university dropped out rates, its increased dramatically over recent years. Why? Certain students shouldn't have been on a degree course in the first place.
    2
  1230. They do pay a price, its called democracy.
    2
  1231. Monty Python joked about it in the film "the life of Brian". Stan wanted to fight the Romans for his right to be called Loretta and have babies. When it was pointed out Stan can't have babies because he is man, Stans response was "Don't oppress me"
    2
  1232. it not for you say, it's a question that the people of Northern Ireland need to answer. The majority of people perceive themselves as British and they've been cut off from the mainland and secondly they are under the jurisdiction of a foreign court with them having a say in laws being made. It can not last.
    2
  1233. They are all on strike anyway.
    2
  1234. He understood the electorate enough to win the Brexit vote, push Brexit through and win a majority.
    2
  1235. Typical. If you dont like the opinion, try and get them arrested.
    2
  1236. combating an inflation crisis by printing more money to fuel a further inflationary crisis. Are politicians are geniuses.
    2
  1237. Excessive government debt and the NHS is litterly the only thing left to sell. It'll be sad if it goes, but im genuinely fed up paying for the health care of ungrateful ar**holes.
    2
  1238. His pay rises came at the expense of country wide inflation, job losses, and wag stagnation for everyone else. Thanks.
    2
  1239. Isn't this "the rights" point? It's not women and children fleeing war but single young males looking for work?
    2
  1240. Well, i never thought you and David Starkey would agree on something.
    2
  1241. Africa, the Middle east, China, Russia. All these countries are toltaltian single party states. They are not democratic. Being gay is a crime, they have concentration camps, political oposition just disappear. Go live there if you think it is wonderful and none of these countries respect human rights!! What on earth is wrong with you?
    2
  1242. it's actually very difficult. I know a German lady. Work visas, they can't change jobs easily, have to pay 10s of 1000s to access the NHS, and have to live here for years before they can apply for citizenship. It was so difficult for her, she was ready to leave.
    2
  1243. Well she was in charge of our border.
    2
  1244. Concidering labours problems with anti semitism, why on earth did she think it was a good idea to start talking about the Jewish people and race?
    2
  1245. We have record tax receipts
    2
  1246. yet James seemed completely oblivious to the general horror lockdowns inflicted on the UK population. That was OK!!
    2
  1247. So the scotish, irish and welsh can vote for a nationalistic party but the English can't?
    2
  1248. People want a leader, not a lawyer who sits on the fence! Blair was certainly a leader. While he wasn't right all the time, he certainly knew him mind.
    2
  1249. David Starkey talked about this in a relatively recent youtube video. England in 1066 became a completely segregated society.
    2
  1250. The majority of working men had to fight in the trenches of ww1 to win the right to vote. They won the right to vote at the same time as women. Which, in my opinion, was far more impressive. Women on the other hand moaned a lot and jumped in front of moving horses. Typical.
    2
  1251. Trump very much appealed to the core of America culture. Wrestling, Rogan, religion, and fast food are examples. The Democrats were kneeling for BLM and wanting to defund the police. The Democrats had completely lost the plot!!
    2
  1252. ...she loved it so much she left.
    2
  1253. Does any else see the irony, for the EU to prevail they must embrace protection from the Anglo-sphere?
    2
  1254. ....and once the penny drops that is the case all the middle of the road parties in Northern Ireland will turn against the EU. The majority acknowledge it needs tweaking.
    2
  1255. Why is she getting £5 million a year? She is awful at her job. All the high street branches are shut, it is owed by the taxpayer and 1000s of innocent staff who work in the banks keep losing their jobs. £5 million would keep dozens of branches open!!
    2
  1256. ....he's destroyed the house of Lords!!!
    2
  1257. "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" Old English proverb
    2
  1258. It doesn't surprise me. The IRA also thought the murder of children was perfectly fine as long it helped to meet their long-term goals.
    2
  1259. Maybe if he didn't destroy all the private business's, create record food inflation and a housing shortage they might be able to afford food? and hes not paying for anything, the English tax payer is.
    2
  1260. NATO will. Because American told them to.
    2
  1261. Eastern Europeans don't understand the concept of benefits and universal credit either. You work and rely on your family. England suits them fine.
    2
  1262. ... The man is litterly a miniature hindu version of Tony Blair.
    2
  1263. Have you ever heard of something called a "aeroplane" or worked in low paid manual work? A union is pointless. They'll just bring in un-unionised workers from Africa or Asia.
    2
  1264. We spent £100 billion on high speed rail and we didn't even lay a single piece of train track. What on earth is going on? Musk is 100% correct.
    2
  1265. honestly? I really can't imagine English farmers bothering. English farmers are more individualistic, they want to be left alone. Its why they thought the EU was ridiculous. The idea of an giant cooperative ran by a foreign parliament was too much for them.
    2
  1266. He does understand organised agriculture is the base for modern human civilisation?
    2

  1271. i remember speaking to people from Eastern Europe back in 2008. I was working on a farm following leaving university, and they didn't understand why we allowed people with criminal convictions to enter the country without any checks. They thought we were idiots. I had never even thought we were that stupid. I also did jury duty once, the person in the docks used freedom of movement to get here. He was on a miniature crime wave and barely spoke any Englis. He had numerous convictions around Europe.

  1272. I watched Freddie Flintoff last night. He was taking a group of kids to India on a cricket tour. India wouldnt issue a travel visa to the kids from muslim Pakistani heritage. Does India know something we dont?

  1274. If everyone is so angry at this bill, why are you not inviting them into your homes? The problem would be solved overnight. It is not the UKs responsibility to invite the entire Middle East into their communities.

  1276. ​​ @fatherjack1148 You percive you are taking a pop at the conservatives, you are not. You are just hurting people who need care. I'm going quote George Orwell in reference to middle class socalists; "You don't care about the poor, you just hate the rich" Thank you.

  1302. Is it? As far as i can understand we import a large proportion of gas to make up the shortfall created by our reliance ln wind and solar. The war in Ukraine kicked off, their was a shortfall in the market, prices shot up.

  1310. The system has to work for you. It currently doesn't. Kids in the UK are lock out of the housing market, they struggle to get stable well paid jobs and have accumulated huge amount of student debt. The rental market is a mess, the NHS is being sold off and we now have to pay for prescriptions. All the advantages our parents had have not been given to the next generation and it doesn't surprise the young are voting socialist. The system can be percived as being no longer being fair!!

  1312. "He's read Marx." If I translate that it means i live in my parents spare room and haven't experienced life. It was a failed economic theory from over 150 years ago. Honestly? We are doomed
    1
  1313. The free market isn't always right. Any sane person can accept that. Health care is an example. Do people deserve to die just because the markets say so? Of course not!! At the same time, profits and money are the incentive to do something. Without out that incentive, no one would do anything.
    1
  1314. Neoliberalism isn't working for the majority anymore. And it hasn't done for a long time. Brexit, Corbyn, SNP, and Farage they are all connected. Why is no one listening?

  1317. ​ @Wulfuswulferson  The further Starmer distances himself from the far left the higher he has climbed in the polls. So he must be onto something.

  1320.  @ruthjilani4760  it means everything! Boris is going no where!! While Macron is virtue signalling and working on his image Boris is actually committing some practical.

  1324. As a nation, we have gone crazy. Trump, on the other hand, has successfully negotiated a huge mineral deal, which will benefit the American people with lower prices. While simultaneously avoided getting involved in a potentially never-ending war, savings his citizens' lives. When you actually think about it, he appears the only one with any common sense.

  1327.  @coolperson962  OK, you're right. But the majority of people can't strike. The majority of people are only getting a 4% pay increase. Alot of the individuals currently striking were the people doing very little during the pandemic. And the NHS too, its cold and flu season, people are going to needless die because they can't access a service they have paid into their entire lives.

  1335.  @des_smith7658  Your choice. 90% of the population are white British. 100% of the top cabinet jobs are from ethnic backgrounds. 1) What are the odds they are the best persons for the job? Virtually 0% and 2) I am not voting for a party where my children are discriminated against and have little chance of reaching the top!
    1
  1336.  @Martinw_909  Their are alot of problems to solve. This equality/marxists nonsense is making things worse. You need the best people in the top jobs, it's nothing to do with skin colour, se*ual orientation or gender!!

  1339. If you flood the labour market with limitless new arrivals, everyone is both always replaceable and utterly worthless. Open borders errod wages and workers negotiating power. It's why the labour party was historically against the EU.

  1356. You do realise trade unions cannot work if you're replaceable by half the worlds population?
    1
  1357. ​ @Swamped117 I don't understand. Old labour wanted to leave the EU, control the labour, and ensure decent wages. I get it. Nowadays, socalists want unlimited immigration, which will lead to oversupply and lower wages. Amazon is reliant on a oversupply of forgien labour. So how can you negotiate better conditions if your always replaceable?

  1368. A handful of bankers ran ofc with all our money in 2008. The government borrowed billions to bail them out. Taxes have risen, the most productive are penalised and arguably our most lucrative sector has been nerfed. Also the boomers started business's and grew the economy. Look at all the amazing things we did in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Gen z and millennials just complain and vote labour. They are usless.

    1
  1372.  @Masaru_kun  err yes she can.
    1
  1373. what she isn't pointing out is the SNP in Scotland are worse. At least in England the Tories are agressively challenged by the press, the oposition and even members of their own party. Who is challenging the SNP?

  1390. I know truck drivers and farm workers with more common sense than you people. They have children and own houses. What a stupid debate.
    1
  1391. The divisions created now will never fully heal. The communities will never integrate. Look at Northern Ireland. The two communities have lived together for 400 years, and they still live separate lives.

  1392. If I had no home and someone offered me free accommodation, health care, and food. It would be amazing. If you stayed there one year you could get a job, save your money and buy a house relatively quickly. The intelligent asylum seeker will be climbing the social and housing ladder quicker than you "leftists"

    1
  1398.  @daijirokatoh3769  we are the 2nd biggest contributors. It was our army training Ukrainan forces currently and before the out break of the war. Their is a reason why Boris is highly regarded in the Ukraine. While Germany and France can not be trusted.
    1
  1399.  @daijirokatoh3769  it is. I pay UK taxes. The UK is the 2nd biggest contributors. My money is being used to protect Europe.

  1416.  @buk3695  yes, but the pound crashed after the vote (it made our exports more competitive) and we were still in the single market. It was a win win for farmers!!
    1
  1417.  @buk3695  yes, but we are talking about farming. A drop in the pound, after the vote to leave, ment we had an export market with 300 million people with no barriers to trade. This wasn't speculation, this actually happened. Farm gate prices after the Brexit vote sky rocketed.

She will complain about incel culture, but is actually helping to contribute to it.

  1436. A lot of the pubs, they are not pubs. They are restaurants. Also, kids and dogs are everywhere. It's rubbish.

Its really hard to through a party aswell, locals just complain!!

  1443. You can't create money. You pay via taxes or inflation. Housing is unaffordable, my savings are worthless, the pound is worthless, food has doubled in price and taxes are at a record high. This is all thanks to excessive money printing.

  1445. yes, we will probably still be locked down, Brexit would still be rumbling on, and Russia would have completely taken Ukraine. Corbyn would have been a disaster. Boris wasn't perfect, but he showed leadership and stood his ground when he was required.

It's a direct refence to the far left in England "They don't love the poor, the just hate the rich". The quote actually sums up her thoughts on Gaza and Isreal.

  1484. what did Boris actualy say that was wrong? Labour supporters are always trying to associate Jimmy Saville with the conservative party. As soon as the tables are turned against you you want an appology and censorship. Grow up! You've lost my vote anyway!!

  1506. The majority of our growth in the 80s, 90s, and 00s came from the private sector. That generation is slowly retiring, and all all we have left is university educated marxists who think we are going to grow the economy by investing in the NHS!!

  1529.  @seang2700  The mob isn't always correct. Infact its often wrong. That what the commons represents. The mob. That's why we have a lords, it can debate issues sensibly free from the "mob mentality" and political biases.

  1535. The house of commons has wasted 6 months on the partygate scandal. Nothing is getting done. And Starmer isn't much better, he has kicked out long term labour supporters bankrupting the party, fixed the party's voting system to consolidate his power and humiliated and ostracised a very popular leader. Boris has never attempted anything like this.

  1543. ​​​ @ericritchie6783 It didn't. A new house that was worth £120 000 ten years ago is probably worth £210 000 now. You would only of needed a £6000 deposit with the help to buy scheme. If you were saving with a partner then you would only needed to save £3000 each. At 2.1% rates mortgage repayments would be £363 a month. Selling the house would net you a £90000 profit and because it was your home you wouldn't pay any tax!!

    1
  1549. ​ @ericritchie6783 I've highlighted a genuine route onto the property ladder. Help to buy, ISAs and low rates were available to everyone if you could be bothered to save a relatively small deposit. It was a opportunity. Everything you've highlighted are just excuses as to why you were to lazy to take advantage of the opportunity. A wise old lady told me you can't control the bigger picture. It doesn't matter. But you are in control of yourself. Think about that.
    1
  1550. ​ @ericritchie6783 You make no sense. You are effectively saying I shouldn't try in life because of a decision someone I've never met may or may not make. It's nonsense.

  1551. ​ @ericritchie6783 ...and back to my point, you are still saying don't bother taking advantage of opportunities because someone you never met may or may not do something. That's not really very helpful. Everything you offered as an "argument" means absolutely nothing to a person on an individual basis....and as a strategic plan, marriage is a good bet. You double the brain power and half your risk.

  1554. ​ @ericritchie6783 A person can only base the decisions of his life on the information presented directly in front of him. This isn't rhetoric because doing anything else is just foolish. And I think that is where alot of socalists miss the point. You effectively persuade people to do things often against their best interests.
    1
  1555. ​ @ericritchie6783 Help to buy ISAs are still a thing, interest rates are dropping (Certain companies are offering 3%) and cheap housing is still available if you are bothering to look. Everyone is different and all you are doing is highlighting a small number of variables between individuals to why they can't do something. Tens of thousands probably exist. It's not helpful. But everything I have highlighted is available to everyone, regardless of the excuses you choose to errect.

    1
  1557. ​​ @ericritchie6783 You said no one can afford a house since 2008. They can, it's never been easier. You said making large amounts of money requires priverlage. It doesn't. It's available to everyone. The government is litterly giving you money so you can buy security and make money!!
    1
  1558. ​ @ericritchie6783 You said it has never been harder to buy a house since 2008. I disagree with you, with record low rates, help to buy schemes and ISAs. It's arguably never been easier 1) To buy the house and 2) To afford repayments. Yes, the average house is many times more than wages. But intrest rates are low and the deposit required to but that house with government help is also low. I heard a stat 1/3 of mortgages are given to people earning less than £30 000.
    1
  1559. ​ @ericritchie6783 I stand by my point. It's never been easier. Do you have to put some initial effort in? Yes. But between 2008 and now, it's never been easier to get on the property ladder. You could possibly make the point rates and schemes are variable. But renting is worse. You have no security, and the rent can be increased at any time

  1618. ​ @fabiogrottola Yes, but the system of parliamentary democracy is used by the majority of the world and Crowell is arguably the father of this system. This including Germany and Japan. Power is divided between a symbolic head of state and parliament. It probably explains why france is so unstable. Wellington and the allies beat Napoleon, cementing its place as the global super power for next 100 years. We all speak English don't we?

The 0.8% is based on our current trade in goods, we don't trade much at the moment, but...1) We specialise in digital and financial services 2) the Pacific region will account for 30% of global growth by 2030, its clearly going to grow 3) We are physically the center of the world, so selling finance to Japan via Teams make distances irrelevant.

  1701. ​​​​ @demejiuk5660 The problem with the left is everything is meaningless and nothing matters. It is why the younger generation are so hopelessly lost and depressed.

  1769. technically he was elected. He has a 80 seat majority and the biggest vote share of decades. He is only 3 points behind in the polls. The conservatives are an actual joke. If he is so bad he will be answerable to his electorate at the next election.

  1773. It's about fairness. Andit is perceived things are not fair. 45% of their wages on taxes, huge debt, unaffordable housing, very expensive rent, stagnant wages, un-secure living. A small minority of people are hording all the money and they do not want to share. The post-war consensus looked after the UKs children. Thatcher, while did a lot of good, put a stop to that.

  1774. Yes. The USA has had an abundance of cheap energy. It one of the reasons it has left Europe in the dust when comparing quality of life. Please dont end up like the UK, we are so thick we are trying to produce energy from solar panels even though we dont see the sun for 9 months of the year.

  1831. Boris wasn't a liability, he was only 3-4 points behind in the polls mid term when they got rid of him and historically that is pretty good. Do they even remember how our system works? They only needed 40% of the electorate to win. The conservatives are a joke, they lack common sense and most importantly of all discipline!!

    1
  1837. ​​ @Alex-cw3rz House prices used to part of the inflation calculation until 2003. Surprisingly when Gordon Brown started falsely creating new money it was removed. And you are wrong, various rounds of quantative easing has led to huge house price increases and a cost of living nightmare for millions. The British economy is worthless.

  1843.  @corneliusantonius3108  yes, since we voted to leave farmers margins have increased. HUGELY. I use dairy farmers as an example, in 2016 farmers were paid 14p a litre. They are now being paid 50p.
    1
  1844.  @corneliusantonius3108  Dutch farmers are not efficient. They have tiny farmers that only make money because they are hugely subsidied by the EU. Dutch farmers do not work. My money was paying for that.

  1847.  @guleiro  what does it matter? The price of her product has increased and she is making more money, someone is buying it and is willing to pay more money.
    1
  1848.  @guleiro  OK in 2005 when we had access to the single market lamb prices were 250p/kg. In 2021 when we left lamb prices were 576p/kg. She is a sheep farmer. Her farm is more profitable outside the EU. Simple math. Please keep up. Can you see why she should of made money?
    1
  1849.  @kevhavard  Lamb prices have been at a record high, she has all her family to help her. If she can't make money in the current climate something is very wrong.
    1
  1850.  @guleiro  The only reason Dutch farmers are so efficient is because of the high use of nitrogen fertilisers. Holland is a small country. You take nitrogen out of the equation food production falls off a cliff.
    1
  1851.  @kevhavard  They obviously do. If they didn't the prices wouldn't be so high would it? The prices are so high because demand is out stripping supply!!
    1
  1852.  @kevhavard  Apparently 90% of exported lamb is still going the EU.
    1
  1853.  @guleiro  If you stop using modern fertilisers it will inevitably cut food production. For a country such as Holland who replies on modern technology to produce food it is going to have a big impact, especially when EU food inflation is 18%.
    1
  1854.  @guleiro  ?
    1
  1855.  @guleiro  You are making no sense. I have given you the price per kilo of lamb. When we were in the EU in 2005 it was 250p/kg when we left it was 576p/kg. Exports to the EU since we left have increased, 90% of our exports still go to Europe.
    1
  1856.  @timmurphy5541  exactly our currency has devalued. That is exactly why our lamb is very competitively priced in Europe now.
    1
  1857.  @enigmatwist6548  in this case it does.

  1876. What nonsense. On the positives, Blair is more right-wing than the current conservative party. We may actually get some tax cuts and less intrusive governance, Blair is Thatcher-lite.

  1877. We are probably going to war. We need to ditch DEI and the insane concepts of equality and place ourselves in a strong position to face down Russia.

  1878. Thatcher reformed the economy, controlled inflation, tamed nation debt, took on the IRA, won the Faulklands war, made everyone richer, took out middle eastern terrorists and tamed the unions. Everything she did set up the 10 years of prosperity that Blair enjoyed that also allowed record spending on our public services.

  1902. Our economy was booming before mass migration. In the 90s, when we were doing the best, it was 48000. It only started to tank from around 2005 onwards when Blair opened the door to it. Your argument makes no sense.

  1908. 1lWasn't it Theresa May who originally signed the agreement? 2) And why are Sein fein and the EU single market more important than the DUP and Great Britain. The GFA requires balance, and the original protocol didn't provide that. 3)they didn't oppose the framework. Nearly all of them voted for it.

  1911. I don't watch GB news. And I genuinely have no clue what Boris Johnsons opinion is. However, race baiters like Diane Abbot. Youtubers like Femi and Novra media. They continually play the victim card. They are the problem and are obsessed with categorising people down race and gender lines. What we are seeing isn't facism. It's marxism. The ideas of equality, victim and oppressor have infiltrated our establishment. These people are forming gangs for protection and following the inevitable end game of the ideas of marx, you probably cannot blame them.
    1
  1912. Mass migration isn't for us. Its for companies like Amazon so they can keep costs down and profits up.
    1
  1913. I disagree. Culturally, this isn't how we work. Everything would collapse because we wouldn't stop arguing. Brexit would not have happened under such a system, neither would of Thatchers reforms in the 80s.

  1917. They control everything, have the ability to fix prices, and have the ability to take all our money. You can't change to a different supplier because they control everything. But you could argue that a small number of unions have a monopoly on the NHS and rail labour supply.
    1
  1918. The issue is discipline. Instead of sticking together when things got tough, they ruthlessly replaced a leader who was elected by the membership and electorate with someone nobody wanted. How can you hold together a country when you can't even hold together your party? So why would anyone trust them again?

  1941. ​​ @babymonalisa They blocked gates and pavements. they lit bonfire fires, created mess and stopped access to local businesses. The police didn't do anything. The party was not organised and the council didn't know about it. When challenged they accused others of Islamipobia. You are seeing the same behaviour on a national level and understandably people are getting annoyed. I don't actually think they understand what they, can and can't do.

  1953. We have a monarch as head of state. They are elected. Boris was humiliated and kicked out. Gordon Brown was chased down the street by the media. So no. Not by a long way. Infact I say we have a very good tradition of "humanising" our politians.

  1977. ​ @fungibu7184 England Historically has a very good reputation for looking after its working class. Thanks to the labour party and trade unions things did genuinely get better. BUT!! The money that was used to achieve this came from the empire. That is the irony of socalism. Typically you are against capitalism and imperialism but at the same time it is required to improve things. Someone has to be a slave so we can be free.
    1
  1978. ​​ @fungibu7184 No, it went on working wages, coucil houses and generally improving the quality of life for millions. Imperialism also paid for the NHS. Why do you think their was never a revolution here? Life was to good!!

  1980. ​ @fungibu7184  How do you think we paid for the NHS? Stolen Iranian Oil fields.
    1
  1981. ​ @fungibu7184 This was a direct observation from George Orwell. Trade unions can't pull people out of poverty unless there is money to do it. In England, that came from two sources. Capitalism and Imperialism. Imperialism was the most important.

  1982. ​ @fungibu7184 What do you think paid for the NHS?
    1
  1983. ​​​ @fungibu7184 No it didn't. Life expectancy increased. At the turn of the 20th century, the labour party and capitalist profits pulled millions out of poverty. The quality of life between the different social classes narrowed. That's reality, you haven't provided any facts!!

  1984. ​​ @fungibu7184 If we had no money how did the government buy and nationalise so many industries? While simultaneously waging multiple wars? Under examination we had plenty of money.

  1990. What is the alternative to getting married, having children, and buying a house? Living in unsecure rental accommodation with housemates you can't trust. It's a life without security or purpose. I know which one I'd prefer.

  1991. Farage is right. But Britain is a two party system. Farage will probably only win 7 seats. He is splitting the conservative vote and will hand Starmer a huge majority.

  1992. Probably in housing market. House prices have soared recently.

  1993. Yes. Next question. Isreal/Palestine has certainly taken resources and attention away from Ukraine and the direction has certainly changed in Russias favour.

  1997. we are simultaneously in the EU and out of the EU at the same time . We can also veto any law we don't like when it comes to Northern Ireland and make our own trade deals. It doesn't sound a bad agreement.
    1
  1998. ​ @Michael_from_EU_Germany The UK is an amazing position. Northern Ireland is part of the EU single market while the rest of the UK has completely left. We are both in and out at exactly the same time, While under the new windsor framework Westminster can veto any new EU laws passed in Northern Ireland it doesn't consent to. AND we can still pass new trade deals. I think the whole concept is great!!
    1
  1999. ​​ @Protont he GFA isn't UK law. But it also states Northern Ireland is sovereign British territory.

    1
  2002. ​​ @Protont es, buts that doesn't change the demographics of the country does it? It just means a few 1000 DUP votes have switched to a different party. And concidering the recent IRA murder of a policeman infront of his son and school, I would keep quiet.
    1
  2003.  @Michael_from_EU_Germany  It's not called the protocol anymore. It's the windsor framework and part of the UK is in the EU single market and part of it isn't. So yes, we are in the EU and out at exactly the same time.
    1
  2004. ​ @Michael_from_EU_Germany  "As a result of the protocol, NI has in effect remained in the EU's single market for goods (England, Scotland and Wales have left the EU's single market for goods). This allows goods to flow to and from NI to the ROI and the rest of the EU as they did while the UK was a member of the EU, without customs checks, tariffs or new paperwork" nidirect. gov.uk

  2013. ​ @cheesepuff455 ....and who came our on top? Brexit, Ukraine, AUKUS, lockdowns, CPTPP. All the arguments have been won.
    1
  2014. ​​​​ @weswheel4834 Exactly!! A decision had to made, and any decision is better than no decision. We had 3 years of a paralysed parliament, it was killing the country. The deadlock had to be broken.
    1
  2015. ​ @weswheel4834 It depends on your opinion if it worked or not. Great Britain has achieved alot recently, Brexit, AUKUS, the CPTPP, leadership for nato and Eastern Europe agaist Russia, it helped Finland into NATO and the windsor framework. We are heading in a direction, just not the direction you perhaps would like.
    1
  2016. ​ @weswheel4834 Brexit was a culture war. Its hard to explain, George Orwell talked about in his political essay "the lion and the unicorn" The pro European leftists v anti European English.

  2036. Unions are a good thing. Over the last century they have pulled up the living standards of the average person. My problem is they've been completely infiltrated by marxists crackpots.
    1
  2037. ​ @adorablehorrorfrombeyond1462  No unions are derived from capitalism. It allows workers who can't negotiate for themselves to obtain better wages. The whole welfare state in England comes from the Christian notion of helping your fellow man. Marxists have hijacked our good nature. Less marx more methodism.

  2038. I don't think people on the left were originally in favour of our intervention in Ukraine. They originally attacked Boris for potentially starting ww3, and Great Britain was a threat to global security.

  2050. ​ @zoranblackie5921 No one thinks that. If you track public spending, the lower it is, the greater our economic prosperity.
    1
  2051. ​ @zoranblackie5921 The irony is that the lower the debt and the lower the tax burden, the more tax revenues you generate because their is more an incentive to spend and do business.
    1
  2052. ​ @zoranblackie5921 It's hard to say with Truss. Technically we have a huge debt burden, we owe alot of the money, and as the banks didn't like her they had the power to remove her just by putting up rates. Which is why low debt is preferable. It means banking forces can't destabilise our system if they are having a bad day.

  2113. Vote share is irrelevant. It number of seats. And they didn't just lose to reform. The Liberals actually took a decent number of safe Tory seats, Labour is standing down in these areas handing victory to the lib dems. This happened in South Shropshire. Also, Labour managed to win big in Scotland again. The SNP wipped them out for years and historically, it is winning big in Scotland that hands Labour the keys to 10 downing Street. So if Labour continues to win in Scotland and the voting pact with the Liberals continues plus the issue of Reform, Labour are going to be very hard to beat

  2194.  @verystripeyzebra  it's not just rail workers that haven't had any pay increases, it's huge numbers of the population. People have had years on stagnant wages and raising inflation. I don't think this current generation of leaders know what they are doing. But my answer is different, the economy needs to grow and business need to be profitable. The money then can then distributed into higher wages. Trade unions need to be part of this.

  2267. ​​ @albinoboy5312 he American system was based on our system. Are system is confusing. It is a two party system, their no point voting for anyone else apart from Tory or Labour. No one else will ever get elected. And people do vote for a leader, that's a fact. No matter what you pretend. Typically voters do not like it when they change mid term.

  2268. ​​​​ @albinoboy5312  we don't have a party system if you want to get technical. We elect an MP, not a party. Political parties are merely a side effect, mps just decided to form themselves into groups. Otherwise nothing would ever pass through parliament.

Oil is also bought in dollars, as intrest rates rise, the pound against the dollar increases bringing oil and cost of production down.

    1
  2356. ​@dondoodatOk £20000 is for a large house. You can get a £5000 grant and the average pump is £7000. Then, depending on the size of the house you will need on average £5000 for installation. So you are going to need a spare £7000 just to switch from a normal boiler to a heat pump for a small house.

  2357. ​@dondoodatI don't own a large house. But I can guarantee that if landlords are forced to install heat pumps, all the added costs will be placed on to your rent.

  2386. They fracked extensively and so have a large source of cheap energy. We are not allowed to frack and are stuck buying gas from Europe at market value, and their is a war on. So they just have more disposable income. Also, our economy is geared around London and the financial services sector. And let's be honest, that's been a complete disaster since 2008. Taxes, too. The government has huge debts to pay back and a very large welfare state. Americans do not have a welfare state to maintain, so they get to keep more of their income, it the individual that creates wealth not the state. UK citizens are being f**ked from every angle.

  2438. Exactly. A failure of leadership from the left after 2008 arguably lead to Brexit.

  2439. Farage split the vote, yes. If you add Reform and the conservative vote, share together. The conservatives would have won the election.
    1
  2440. ​​ @peterwoodhouse3239  Reform are just angry conservative voters. They are not a separate group. You add the two vote shares together, the conservatives would have won. Reforms 5 seats gave Starmer a huge majority.

  2441. If it wasn't for Boris the country would still be complete political stalemate. He won his election, these current chancers have simply rode in on Tory safe seats and Johnson hard work.

    1
  2446. Sorry, the leader of the "Scotish" National party won't pander to populism? Right. Your entire electoral success came from populism!! UKIP and the SNP success were based on the same argument. One wanted to leave the EU and the other the UK. The English were just more organised.
    1
  2447. You can get a straight answer out of Sunak. He was very clear on Brexit. He showed leadership on Isreal, and he is clear on what the definition of a woman is. Sunak is right, Starmer seems incapable of making a decision.
    1
  2448. ​ @darrylsimpson4744  He's been very clear on Brexit, Isreal and on the definition of a woman. Can Starmer say the same?

  2449. "They"? Who are "They"?
    1
  2450. why did we lockdown the country and spend 400 billion?
    1
  2451. I cant see Starmer winning personally. Sunak has surprised me, he has shown clear leadership on alot of issues. He can define what a woman is and is generally respectful of GBs traditions. Sunak is the better man.

  2452. Yeah, it is better to wear Putin down in Ukraine than let him reach a NATO country at full strength and have ww3 break out!! From a UK perspective Boris was right.

  2453. when environmentalists ban all the tech used to grow the food, plant trees on the best land, use good farm land to grow biofuel instead and rely on imports. Dont be surprised when we run low on food and food inflation is running at 20%.

He has the backing of his back benches and voters. I hate to say it but you've lost again and Boris has out played you all.

  2459. You're just not funny. And concidering your arrogant stance on Brexit and lack of understanding of a culture stretching back over 1000, I don't think you should be allowed an opinion on anything. This is the problem, you have opinions on a political system you know nothing about.

  2460. The way i perceive the riots is they are forming gangs to protect themselves because the police have let them down. Its the only logical thing left for them to do. The same thing happened in Northern Ireland.

  2464. an economy with only 3.5% unemployment is not performing badly.

  2465. Government debt is high. In the UK it is 100% of GDP, in the 90s and 00s it was only 30%. Tax payers bailing out the banks and lockdowns. Millennials and Gen Z have to pay back other peoples mistakes through higher taxes.

  2476. ​ @davidmcculloch8490 I understand Great Britain, we are a tremendously old successful country. We've achieved that by remaining flexible and adapting to changes. Something a written constitution sets in stone. France has a written constitution, on average it colapses every 40 years!!

  2481. ​​ @davidmcculloch8490  I understand how our voting system works. Its not perfect. BUT it is very good keeping extremist parties at bay. The centre ground always wins. Also you can return a strong government which can get things done. Take 1930s Germany. One of the reasons the country colapsed was weak governance and PR voting. Our system which imperfect, more or less gets things right.

  2485. It is not communist but alot of marxists ideology has infiltrated modern England. The whole victim oppressed mentality, the constant attacks on the family, the notion of equality. You see it in our schools, hospitals and in the media. You are made to feel guilty for simply wanting to start a family, save money and buy a house.

  2490. Hold on here, the EU have continually push closer and closer into Russia historic territory. Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. And they are now talking about absorbing The Ukraine. Macron and France are certainly not helping.

  2491. France is one move away from complete collapse, roll on the 6th republic.

  2492. The war is the Ukraine is the final argument why we should never rejoin. They are a block of countries who's main aim over the last 30 years has been the political, economic and appeasement of Putins Russia. Why on earth were we involved in that? Germany can't even and refuse to invest and defend her own borders. They are expecting us and the Americans to shoulder the responsibility again. If it wasn't for us and the USA suppling aid and weaponry Putin would be on the border of Germany right now.

  2493. I watched a film called "Mr Jones" last night. It was about the 1930s welsh journalist Gareth Jones. Let's just say the political apple doesn't fall far from the marxist tree.

  2495. The conservatives need to figure out how they going to win the next election. Not have another leadership contest, its pointless. They only slightly behind labour. Cameron in 2014 had a bigger hill to climb and he won a majority.
    1
  2496. British farming was destroyed by being in the EU. Due to lack of barriers to trade our markets were flooded by cheaper imports and made our products worthless.
    1
  2497.  @Tdot6  If you look at countries like Canada and Australia who have a very similar set up to the UK, they haven't outsourced all their decision making powers and signed comprehensive free trade agreements to a giant trading block. They have some of the highest standards of living in the world and are very very rich.

  2498. You wouldn't want to face them in a fight. The west will not go quietly.

  2500. The majority of people in the UK are not part of unions. In fact most people dispise them. The only way to appeal to the majority of the population is to move slightly to the right. This isn't new, it was how Blair was elected.

  2508. They'll win at the next election. What working people are asking now is, what is the point of labour?
    1
  2509. They had a shale gas boom. Energy is cheap in the USA. It's why their standard of living and wages are better than ours. They have so much they are exporting it to the EU.
    1
  2510. Just what we need a man who was at the forefront of the invasion in Iraq and one of its unelected deputy governors and also wanted the UK to be signed upto a foreign court without any say in the laws. Boris was democratically elected. You need a lesson in democracy.

  2513. in his prime Biden was brilliant. He is however now slightly past it...

  2532. I noticed that, alot of the "hard left" are angry they've been kicked out the party. But he has put together a relatively good article in the Guardian recently, he effectively says Starmer is a bigger fibber than Johnson. Its called "If you care about Johnson’s dishonesty, don’t let Keir Starmer off the hook" It's worth a read.

  2559. Do you know why English farmers voted for Brexit? They are all very individualistic and generally don't work well in large cooperatives. Which effectively was what the EU was. Culturally they dont fit. Bizzarely, De gaulle realised this and was one the reason he kept vetoing our membership. The English would have to give up being English he argued.

  2592. It happened in North Shropshire. Conservatives would never vote labour but would always consider voting liberal. The problems they may face are 1) Brexit, the Liberals need to move on. Rural areas voted for and still believe in Brexit. 2) The idea of the Liberals entering a coalition with labour, if that was a prospect tory votes could switch back again.

That's not right is it?

  2742.  @antispindr8613  Businesses blame tax raises for one of the big contributions to price rises. Costs increase, they pass it on to consumers. If businesses have more money they invest more, hire more people and expand. On a individual level VAT moving from 17% (pre 2007) to 20% is huge!! Billions have been taken out of individuals pockets. National insurance hikes too, a £250 hike multiple by 40 million is a tremendous amount of money. What is happening are individuals and private companies are slowly been disensetavises and strangled! You need a strong private sector for a strong public sector. This types of policies historically have never worked. People just give up!!

  2743.  @antispindr8613  If they hire more people businesses make more money!! You pay employees well and treat them well they do a good job and will help the business make more money. If businesses make money they pay tax which is used to pay for a good public sector.

  2784. On a global scale we still have military, political and economic influence within Europe (NATO and EU) but at the same time branched into the Pacific and Asia with AUKUS and the CPTPP. This region will account for 30% of global growth by 2030. And its not just about trade, it about geo politics. By the UK joining the TPP, they can veto China's membership. Which keeps Japan and Australia very happy.

  2785. ​ @mickreaddin4979 We have a massive influence in the EU via NATO. Countries like Poland trust Great Britain far greater than France and Germany.

  2937. ​ @andrewrobinson2565  This debate is ridiculous. The idea that every single person shares the same culture is completely wrong, because they dont. And their are 7 billion people in the world, you cannot accommodate everyone without the country collapsing. London with England are pretty good. But take Ireland, they already have a cost of living crisis. Its more expensive to live than in the UK. Mass migration and extra competition for scarce resources is making it worse.

With the attitudes and valued we are importing it feels we are going backwards in time.

  3149. Theresa May was a liability. No one respected her. She didn't respect the good Friday agreement and went into power with the dup. Jeremy Corbyn ran rings around her (a nutty communist) She negotiated the northern ireland protocol which annexed off part of the UK and is causing the problems we have now. And then tried to sign Britain upto a foreign court without its people having any vote or say in the laws they would be under. And finally we wouldnt of been able to negotiate any new trade deals without the EUs say so. She had to go. Out of all the options available, Boris was right!

They are a block of countries who's main aim over the last 30 years has been the political, economic and appeasement of Putins Russia. Why on earth were we involved in that? Germany can't even defend (and actually refuse) her own borders. They are expecting us and the Americans to shoulder the responsibility again. If it wasn't for us and the USA suppling aid and weaponry Putin would be on the border of Germany right now.

  3202. Corbyn won a huge proportion of the vote in 2017 on a far left message. So, I actually thought neoliberalism was dead politically in the UK. But the more Starmer turns towards the "right," the higher he climbs in the polls. So i honestly dont know what to think.

  3208. On a global scale we still have military, political and economic influence within Europe (NATO and EU) but at the same time branched into the Pacific and Asia with AUKUS and the CPTPP. This region will account for 30% of global growth by 2030. And its not just about trade, it about geo politics. By the UK joining the TPP, they can veto China's membership.

  3267.  @alexandermeddings  hey, on a world stage the UK is still respected. Italy? Not quite so much.

  3268. Their biggest problem is that they are dangerously incompetent. As was proven during the last 5 years!! They were not fit to run a department, let alone lead.

  3270. George Orwell wrote about this in the 1930s. The leftists demolorised everyone to the point that they virtually destroyed an empire. Then, ww2 broke out.

  3271. Or did they merely evolve? The normans were all decended from Vikings. They went onto to invade England and eventually the world.

  3274. Life in 1920s Britain was awful. Slum housing, no central heating, outside toilets, poor diets, lowlife expectancy, high infant mortality, TB. The list of terrible things is endless...

  3280. You want guys at politics joe want equality, freedom of speech, and women's rights. And then you encourage the importation (and take the side) of an entire population that wants the exact opposite. You guys are a bleeding mass contradictions.

  3281. ​​ @psynclair85 Actually, I do. It is our ability to speak and think freely why we are so successful as a society. As a human right, I can criticise Jesus and Christianity. It is why we are rich and have the biggest weapons to defend ourselves. In the Islamic (within Europe) world if I criticise Mohamed I will potentially get my head chopped off, its an extreme form of censorship. It's like stepping back 500 years.

  3282. This war is ridiculous. Isreal is effectively a side arm of the American military and they are clearly going no where. They have nuclear weapons. And Bill is right. Both sides need to forgive each others differences and get around a table and agree a peace agreement. Similar to Northern Ireland. If they don't, the alternative is horrific.

  3283. So you're saying printing to much money and inflation can destroy a society? Who knew? Well, everyone, really....

  3286. It's a war on our food supply. It disentivises very good farmers to stop producing food. They never seem to see the bigger picture.

  3287. Are they supporting any young British artists? So far, I've seen a talentless 14 year old midget, an array of South African singers, a bunch of OAPs and an obese 77 year old in fishnets and leather mini skirt, who quite frankly has mobility issues.

  3290. ​​ @polmcsuibhne7657 The country was bankrupt, the typical labour voter had abandoned them. They lost all their seats in Scotland and the majority of England in 2005 voted conservative. Corbyn won more votes than Tony Blair. What New labour did led to the SNP, it led to Brexit, it led to Corbyn. Why are we rerunning something that has already failed?
