Is Britain, an Islamist nuclear state? 🧐
George we gotta have drip down, the politcal ideology we need is drip down, the poor have to pay all the tax, the rich don’t have to pay any tax, could you do a video since I’ve watched you on and off since you started where you talk about drip down and what the first 100 days would look like if the working class people earning less than 30k a year paid all the tax and the rich don’t have to pay any tax
John Prescott said there’s no nationality as English, he’s an Anglophobe
JP is an anglophobe?
How do you fail all your GCSE’s? Anything other than a U is a pass, if you get an E for example that’s a pass, surely she didn’t get a U in everything? That’s very hard to do and if she did that I’m very impressed since it’s very hard to fail everything
I have to ask but why do you always have your wardrobe open on camera??
No good reason. It is always open anyway
Walks like a duck...
@Joe44944 He holds free elections, he allows fairly free speech, there are independent courts , he detains no political prisoners
nothing like that haha putin my mother is 98 she is fine
exactly education isnot every thing
@angelagardner5230 nor is it nothing. Labour believes you should not hold any position of responsibility without a degree..practise what you preach Labour
My take on it is that the Loyal Orders do a lot for charity of which the whole community benefits when they make donations. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of Columbanus and Opus Dei won't allow Protestants to join so I don't see why the Orange Order is seen as uniquely exclusionary in that respect. The Loyal Orders have kept young Protestants out of trouble in rural areas and have given them some kind of focus. I don't even watch the parades but I loathe the way they can be denigrated, some members are just quiet religious people but are unfairly linked to past drunk rioters etc.
It definitely seems odd. There are apparently three unionist parties who work against and actively undermine one another. Dup seems the more hardline one, uup the more middle ground one. Tuv (the newcomer) an offshoot of the older 'Paisley Snr era dup' led by one of his former acolytes, complete with an assortment of ex dup drawn from the same era. As you point out. It would make more sense to merge and create a broad church unionist party encompassing a number of different views and positions rather than three separate ones working against one another and strengthening the hands of opponents .. Perhaps the old legacy stuff remains too vast a Gulf to bridge?.. Alliance (constitutionally neutral) probably encompass a significant number of unionist inclined voters. Their voter share has ballooned over the last number of years. Possibly spurred in part by a malaise at the deadlock constitutional position dominated politics creates when dealing with day to day issues and a desire to see greater good faith universally beneficial works between different types of people. Recent boundary changes in certain constituencies also seem to have strengthened the hand of the bigger nationalist party. Apparently North Belfast / Fermanagh and South Tyrone particularly.
@PolygoneNative the alliance is pro union but also pro EU. Because of brexit want to join the Republic to get back into the EU
The orange order are always have been and always will be a disgusting, vile order of hatred and division on the island of Ireland . It's makes me sick to my stomach the cost of these aggressive, agitating parades each year it has on the taxpayers, when that money could be used for much , much more important services ie health and education is beyond belief! As for the grants offered to build air polluting bonfires the night before is just completely boggles the mind. Sadly and regrettably I'll never see this done away with in my lifetime and hopefully future generations will come to their senses and look back at it all with great scorn and huge degree of anger
Market ideology is a load of diarrhoea -- worst source of force and fraud perpetrated in the name of democracy in all history. K. William Kapp put the exclamation mark on the final analysis of liberal economics, and the mont pelerin w@nkas did their best to pretend he wasn't there.
Thanks for fulfilling my request for you to speak about Viktor Orban 😊
Won't work. Cry wolf rings true here im affraid. They have maxed out the bank of credibility. They stole UKiPs mandate and told them they would stop the boats for fourteen years. Maybe when a HS2 train arrives in Manchester they will reconsider. She might as well join reform.😂
These types that don't have much going on in their head on the intellectual front but what they do have is the ability to see an opening that they can benefit from its not that other people cant see it they just don't want the job but people like that do it with great effect and make it work to their benefit
They do not care about the working class whom they pretend to want to help
Where did you get this twaddle?
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections agree
If the democrats got a male candidate 45-60, around 6ft tall, looks good in a suit and with miliarty/business pedigree he'd walk it. So how the heck did they end up with Clinton and then Biden?
Whom do you suggest?
Would you join the A.O.H or INF George?
Mandleson mentioned on Newsnight that the Obamas were potentially involved in drafting the NYT Op Ed. They always had an eye on strategy, and likely have something in mind to replace Biden that would try to regrasp the momentum. As you say, Whitmer might be a very interesting choice as VP - whom Obama has endorsed loudly for the Michigan governorship.
Wow
I still think Biden will win. Demographics are not on Trump’s side. His 2016/2020 supporters have gotten older/died, and the younger, more diverse generations have gained a greater percentage of the voter base. I think it will be closer than 2020, though.
Yes demographics are pro Democrat yet somehow Trump is doing well in the polls
Is it correct to talk about more diverse "generations" if we are discussing 2020? Trump will win in November because Biden has gotten older and frail and senile. That is very visible
@@sutherland9 Trump has been more senile than Biden and frailer for a long time. But I concur that Biden is now mentally occluded and has visibly disimproved in the last few months.
You know the Donald is gonna win when even George from Ireland who supports democrats says it
She is Deputy Prime Minister mate, something you will never be. Does it hurt that much! You little shit!
Starmer has no credibility or integrity on Brexit, worked tirelessly for four years to cancel it, telling us we need a second referendum. That's Labour's Orwellian boot stamping down hard on the face of democracy. On the issues, I've outlined, I think this Labour rabble will become unpopular very quickly...the Green Belt concreted to house thousands of illegals, there's talk of in excess of 100,000 coming here as part of a returns policy with the EU...so where will they live?
Now we are getting some policies, they look to be reckless and foolish. Thousands of prisoners to be released early,...get ready for robberies, rapes, stabbings and murders. Rwanda abolished but the boats will keep coming; the MI5 quango is a long term gamble, no guarantee of success - if at all. Heat pumps and EV's are hugely expensive,...out of the price reach of millions of people.
I think you paint far too a rosy picture! On the economy, we are back at 2010 with a huge deficit of £121B,...£40B less than 14 years ago. Thanks to the Tory Engine Room, growth looks very promising for many years hence. UK set to outperform France, Japan and Germany. But otherwise, there is no ready Magic Money to meet all these spending plans costing mega billions.
Yes it is a cruel irony that the Conservatives got the economy in order just as they lost office.
Orangemen are Irishmen who in order to be thought Englishmen march dressed as Scotsmen in honour of a Dutchman to suggest they're Ulstermen. A very confused diminishing bunch of herberts. The clock is ticking. Erin go Bragh.
Whats wrong with trying build relations with russia its called being diplomatic better that than being a war monger.
Because it appeasing a hyper aggressive Russia that commits acts of terrorism in the EU, cyber attacks on a daily basis and switches off the GPS of civilian airliners. That could cause a crash killing 300 passengers. Diplomacy has been tried with Russia for years and it has only led to more attacks by Russia.
Viktor Orban is the only PM with a brain in NATO and EU. The other are just Yesman of US Neocon. EU, UK and US claiming themselves as democracy is a joke. It is a plutocracy run by the rich elite donor.
NATO is a Fabian socialist tool in order to keep the tragic theatre going, just like the EU. Study the subject of miscegenation, George. Why would you promote such a thing, the data, if generally known, would discourage such behaviour, for the sake of the children and society 🕊️💚☘️🙏
Maybe do some historical research.
Plainly NATO is a mechanism for worldwide Anglo - American hegemony. You might think that is a good thing, but what about the 1.3 billion Chinese?
Anglo-American hegemony does not exist.
KZread comments is not the best place for a nuanced discussion, but I'll try keeping it short! Losers? We've just watched a parade of highly educated individuals being a disaster for the country. It does not seem that a highly educated background necessarily leads to wiser decisions. David Lloyd George did not go to uni. He seemed a decent PM for the demands of WWI. Churchill wasn't bad either. There's something uncomfortable about you speculating on the possibility on your chances of touching Angela Rayner's boobs. I know you were not implying that you had the intention. Anyway, if Angela Rayner saw this vid she would probably say something a lot shorter and more direct. The comment made me think about your views on abortion, too. These various comments you have shared show an imposition onto women's bodies of varying degrees. Whether intentional or not. Women have long been arguing about having access to medical care to meet their own needs and that has included abortion. One pro choice slogan is 'my body my choice'. I think that sums it. The bodily imposition that anti abortion legislation would bring about has some resonance with the comments you made. The reality of having to bear, birth and rear a child is something that many people would struggle to understand. Particularly each individual women's lived experience as they make these decisions and live with the repercussions. That's why i think women are best placed to make those decisions. I know you have an argument that comes from a view of rights for the foetus, I'm just giving the a counter view from the others rights too. But I go back to what you said about her body, I think it shows that anti abortion arguments can also come with additional biases and blind spots that help inform these arguments. Biases based on not just on sex and gender (gender and power not the other issues) but also social, economic, educational (!! -see above) The Trump comparison is so poor I am genuinely a bit disappointed you made it. Otherwise, i like your posts over the years!
I mean France just ended democracy.
How so?
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections People voted for Le Pen, and at the very end 5 left wing parties got together and gave the vote the finger by joining together to overwrite the vote. Last minute coalitions should be illegal in a working democracy because it goes against the stage that was presented to the public. When people vote to on a platform, for a party to resolver specific problems, then that is the direction that the public wants to go in. To go against this, is anti democratic.
I liked this ramble, much love from Los Angeles!
Thanks
Orban was just reelected last year and during the conflict . So, all Hungarians knew what he stood for during that election . I don't agree with everything but at least he has a character unless the spineless Brits and the EU who traditionally kowtow to the US .
Europe surrendered its sovereignty to save money on defense.....but now it is realizing the price this will actually cost..
In what sense did it surrender its sovereignty? Not all European countries are in NATO or the EU if that is what you mean.
What a sneery person you appear to be.
NATO cannot possibly last if the USA goes insolvent, possibly as early as 2025
Turkey has fascinated me for a while. Very successfully playing both sides in the conflict. Bizarre to think that they on the one hand manufacture the Bayraktar drone used successfully by Ukraine, but then continue facilitate the Russians as you say.
Anything for money
Pres. Viktor ORBAN ❤👍👍👍👌👌👌 ...the best leader in EU since 2010
What is fantastic about him?
Centrist Tories need to join the Lib Dem’s and get out of our historically socially conservative
How many by elections will the Tories win by 2029?
3
Make her leader, why don’t centrist liberal Tories just join the Lib Dem’s? A conservative is somebody who supports traditional values, so many liberal Tories
It is possible to be a small 'l' liberal and a Tory
Breathe taking snobbery!
No. Breath taking is the expression you are looking for. I do not deprecate Starmer despite him being working class as he never tires of telling us
Labour wants to decarbonise the National Grid by 2030. If they succeed there will be regular blackouts any industry left who wish to turn the lights on, will have gone. I doubt hastening the UK into a third world country, stuck in energy poverty will appeal to many voters by 2029.
The 12 brings back childhood memories of the Orange lodge marching past my tenements in Liverpool. I never got the feeling they were their displaying harmony or tolerance. May I suggest that an enhancement to your channel would be for you to don a Pith helmet while recording Toodle Pip
Orban is not a yes man and the E.U does not want to deal with people who can say no to them. Encouraging childbirth should be a policy throughout Europe. Interesting subject.
@williamcannon7262 if he is so bad why does the EU not expel Hungary?
According to the historical record and contemporary data, it is impossible to effectively govern, police and defend a multicultural multiracial multi religious and multi degeneracy society. Orban knows what a nation is and how best to preserve, strengthen and defend it. Nationalism, correctly understood and presented, is fundamental for world peace and a cleaner natural environment
John Prescott definitely doesn't have a Merseyside accent. Also Prescott may now have identify as female so they could be the same gender now.
Look at the country mate. Everything is the tories fault. Open you eyes you goober
Can't believe KZread recommended is pile of BS; and you are Irish mate!
It is BS that someone who does not know me claims to know more about me than I do. I encounter such ignorant, racist irrationality every day.
