Rockingham house (3 mins from where I live) is nothing but memory’s of terror times, I very single generation of the king family terrorised the locals and demanded conversion to Protestantism, during the great fammine they were the largest contributor to homelessness in the barony of Boyle mainly by stripping homes of their roofs or bashing in the walls of many to render them useless after a teen ant didn’t pay his taxes to his almighty lord of rockingham house, thousands died of hunger and exposure in Boyle due to the poor management of the Kings of rockingham house on their estate of the barony of Boyle The last to reside in rockingham house for some reason stripped the house of all its valuables 2 weeks before a great fire which destroyed the house and nothing of value was lost, nobody was injured almost as if it was orchestrated by a group of jittery Englishmen wanting to leave Ireland fearing they’d be next for IRA attacks on big houses due to their history of raping and pillaging the Irish country side and the damage they inflicted on us over hundreds of years Rockingham house was a house built on a ancient castle of the O’Connor clann, they house was built to oppress us and the signify dominance until it all came tumbling down

@Barney Laurence Nominally both before and after the acts of union the Lord Lieutenant was the chief of government of the Kingdom of Ireland/Ireland within the UK, tho in practice it was the Lord Deputy and then later the Chief Secretary of Ireland really were the de facto heads of government/chief executive. The relationship between these two positions is (to my understanding) effectively the same as the relationship between Prime Ministers of Commonwealth Nations (those that aren't republics) and their Governor General. Obviously (as with anything about the constitution of the UK, GB, Kingdom of England, whatever) it's a lot more complicated than that, as the Irish Parliament was never sovereign (until independence ofc) and the Chief Secretary of Ireland, although an MP in the Irish Parliament, was responsible to Westminster and not Dublin, so was more of a colonial governor than a PM, but would be the closest equivalent to the PM, other than, well, the PM of GB/UK.

Brown was actually an excellent leader. He would have been better in the radio age as he was terrible at PR - but was great at the practicalities. He understood a lot of Britain's problems and was working to fix them, but not very charismatic and was torn apart by the right wing media which had decided that, without Blair, it was time for a change. The global financial crash didn't do him any favour either (even though he actually managed to save the world banks). However, if you remember, he still managed a hung parliament, even with that.

@@flabbybum9562 ​ To take these point by point: 1. Bank deregulation... It was a similar story across the world - remember it started in wall street. I'm pretty sure most EU countries deregulated banks and I know the US, Australia and Japan did. There is no reason to think the tories would not have done anything different. In fact I guarantee they would have because they believe in the free market and more money for rich people. Also the crash was basically to do with sub prime mortgages in America - and affected all countries. In the 1990s, the banks all came to government and said: “Look, we don't want to be regulated, we want to be free of regulation. All the complaints he was getting from people was, “Look you're regulating them too much”. And actually the truth was that globally and nationally they should have been regulating them more. But this problem was not just confined to Britain. As I say, the tories would not have done anything different. Brown was chancellor at the time, not prime minister, but he did apologise in 2010. He stopped us all going bankrupt through temporary nationalisation and advising world leaders during the crisis. 2. Gold... While Gordon Brown could have sold at a better price (he is not a soothsayer), for the vast majority of governments across established economies, there is no real point to holding gold. The purpose of foreign exchange reserves is not for the state to manage wealth on behalf of the country. People should do this for themselves. UK reserves should only really be used to underpin monetary policy, and to halt any possible crisis such as a significant run on the pound, not as any kind of sovereign wealth fund. The trouble is that gold is not well suited as a state asset, as its value is very likely to drop as soon as it is deployed as a government intervention mechanism. The market is of course very different to that of two decades years ago, and any government selling today will not have anywhere near the same impact. But this doesn’t change the cold hard truth that gold is a market best fit for sophisticated speculators, not the state. 3 NHS... Whatever your views on the 'computerisation' mishap, the NHS was a million times better under Blair and Brown and got much more attention and funding. It was very bad under Thatcher and Major and it is close to collapse now under the current tories, so I reject your point that they did a bad job overall. The tories 'pretend' to fund it because they know the NHS is a vote winner, but they insist everything is outsourced so actually none of the money is IN the NHS. 4. Tax... He has actually been honoured for his contribution to tax by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) in 2022. The award is a mark of excellence bestowed on the grounds of particular distinction in the field of taxation. CIOT President Peter Rayney said: “Gordon Brown is one of the great reforming Chancellors who has shaped the tax and related benefits system like few before or since. In 10 years as Chancellor he made significant changes which strengthened the competitiveness of the UK as a location for holding companies and many business friendly tax measures. He introduced business asset taper relief, the forerunner of Entrepreneurs' Relief - which we now call Business Asset Disposal Relief. He introduced working tax credits, the first ISAs and a simplified regime for pension tax relief. He launched the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime which was a game changer to tackling marketed tax avoidance. And he negotiated changes to the EU Savings Directive to focus it around transparency and exchange of information, rather than withholding taxes. This approach has been the blueprint for subsequent international agreements to combat tax evasion." 5. Elections... I agree with your election point though because he thought people were bright enough to see the good he did instead of listening to what they read. More fool him. I did mention something to that effect in my initial comment.

@@davecross4493Sorry I don't have the time to go into the detail you have. Let's look at just a few examples. Of course Brown didn't cause the international banking crash, but it is widely agreed he seriously exacerbated an already bad situation, and handled it ineptly. I agree that the gold standard played a decreasing to negligible role in currency. But that's not my point - he sold a hugely valuable asset at a massive discount, days before it soared in value. He presided over the biggest project debacle in modern British history with his computerised system for the NHS, costing the tax-payer billions upon billions. His tax credit reforms dragged hundreds of thousands of disabled people from a welfare benefit regime, to a system administered by HMRC, who then proceeded to bully them into repaying money they didn't owe, whilst applying a different regime of rules. He stripped rights and protections from people in social housing. I could go on, and on. A common thread, is Brown's unswerving faith in big bureaucracy to deliver, even when it had repeatedly failed. He just wouldn't learn. He lost the election from a position of strength he had inherited, because his campaign was appalling. He was not a good PM, and he only looked good for a while as Chancellor, because he hadn't faced any serious challenges. Once he did, his shortcomings became apparent.

Interesting. Never have I heard of something like this before. Bravo, Bravo! Also, it is very danceable.

This is so cool and must have taken a lot of work.

Excellent video! Would love it if you made more like this

I find it really fascinating how Prime Minister Urquhart outlasted thatcher by a single day.

Not sure why this suddenly turned up in my recommendations, but it was a fun watch 😊

DESPARATELY need a new one

IMAO. THIS IS EDUCATIONAL AND HILARIOUS! A MASTERPIECE!

Can you please update it with their political parties?

This is fantastic!

"that depends on who you next vote in" lol

this is already outdated by 2 prime ministers lol

SUCH AN AWESOME SONG! Though speaking as a bit of a 19th-century history buff, it's MUCH more normal to refer to these Prime Ministers by their noble titles, rather than their names. For example, historians will often talk about "the Earl of Liverpool" (or, more often, "Lord Liverpool"); they practically never talk about "Robert Jenkinson". I didn't even know the real names of half these PMs, and I'm pretty well-versed on this period of history

Thanks! Yeah, I know they're more often referred to as Earl of So-and-so but that would have made it so much more difficult to write into a song! And on Pointless they ask for Prime Minister's surnames as opposed to titles and I only really wrote this so I'd sound smarter when watching quiz shows with the parents...

Everyone keeps talking about them updating the song but if anything they will probably wait for a few years before doing a "remaster" because of the volatility of the current situation

Very good song of all the UK Prime Ministers!

Excellent video, brilliant!!!!

Masterpiece👏🤣well done🤗💖

A good way to learn about UK's different Prime Ministers

Gonna need a new one soon. For our next and greatest Prime Minister - Larry the cat!

absolute genius

Somebody gives a medal to this guy please.

Winston Churchill: The best argument is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter.

I can't stop listening to this

Time to add Liz Truss Edit: and Rishi Sunak, that didn’t take long

wow it was very good very cool must have worked congratulations for the video

We’re gonna need an updated version of this song soon following Liz’s resignation earlier!

Great job👌

Animaniacs: Finally a worthy opponent, our battles will be legendary!

Honestly, this is the most ingenious thing I've ever seen 🧠

I've been waiting for this moment a long time my little KZread friend

Finally, the circle is complete. Before I had just the monarch's. Now I have the PM's too.

That was brilliant

I’ve learnt the lyrics, and now I know the names of all the Prime Ministers, plus the two that came into office after this song came out

Thanks for doing my homework!
