Stop calling tories "wombats".
Wombats are beautiful, gentle creatures that hurt no-one.
Wombats are a shy marsupial that can reach 30mph when threatened..
Complete opposite of politicians who strut around advertising themselves and double down when threatened
Better to waste food than a low income worker have lunch? Makes no sense.
Pft wickedness
Nothing more than a horrid rich person. Very US and Them.
Fired for eating a Tuna Sandwich....Could entitled people be anymore petty?
Ugh, I don't want some plebeian enjoying the same things I do. I worked hard to make sure of that, you know? -Maximillian de Beaufort-Luxembourg-Snobbington
Who are the entitled people you are referring to. It certainly wasn't the firm of solicitors, it was the cleaning agency (are they entitled?) that fired the cleaner.
The firm of solicitors have said they had no problem with her eating the sandwich and asked her employer not to sack her.
@@grahamepigney8565 Yeah, the agency are entitled. That's the problem.
Nobody should be fired for eating an unwanted leftover sandwich. Dickensian conditions for society really is making a comeback in Britain!
You want to hire people who steal things that look like they have been abandoned? What has she stolen that she has not been caught for?
Lets get this straight, this person is claiming racial discrimination for being sacked for stealing something that did not belong to her. This has brought the companies reputation into dispute.
She was not starving. She was not on the streets. She was working.
The story stinks of a race grifter trying to get some compensation.
It should be noted that the law firm who's sandwich she ate stated openly that they had no problem with her eating it, and asked her employer NOT TO SACK HER, It was the agency she worked for who dismissed her. Total "y not" clean.
If only we could clone you, America NEEDS more of this absolute honesty ❤❤❤from Carmel, California USA❤❤❤
THIS ISHORRIBLY HORRIBLY HORRIBLY WRONG AND MORE, LEAVE THIS CLEANER ALONE !!!
It's quite simple, the rich have private healthcare and have invested in it. Lack of healthcare staff will allow the private sector to pay a premium for staff and charge more of a premium from patients. This increases profit margins and returns and thus the rich get richer while no effect on their own healthcare, at the cost of the average citizen.
I love all your shows. You are such a compassionate, lovely man, so intelligent and embarrassed to be an American with what’s going on in my country and all these evil people all are under the disguise of Christianity.
shameful policy, I feel embarrassed by my government.
Then why did you vote for them?🤔 But difficult questions aside, this same gov't wants you drink yourself to an early grave.
After exhausting the jobfinder as recommended by DWP you end up applying for jobs you're not qualified to do, and you're encouraged to do so by your "advisor". The current rules/regulations re unemployment benefits are kafkaesque in structure. For instance: you're required by law to inform the prospective employer of any issues/problems you have, but in doing so you can then be sanctioned (removal of benefits) by DWP for actively negating your prospect of employment by said employer.
Surely if you ban people from bringing family with them they'll send money out of the country
Exactly! It is counterproductive on every level. Other than for the purely evil.
not really. there needs to be a balance. the wages in this country have been suppressed for so long due to foreign labour.. if they put their pay threshold higher everyone's wages in that sector might go up and might encourage people in this country to do the work. I'm not surprised people don't want to work.. wage is 20000 a year and rent is 24000. why would anyone work if there's nothing to strive for. Let's all become radio presenters and CZcamsr and contribute nothing to society while making 10 times more than the people who actually make the country work.
@kaikai-pb7fh wage suppression due to an influx of foreign labour is negligible.
Unemployment is extremely low.
I'm not sure any of what you said was really based in reality. It seems more like you're just regurgitating right wing talking points.
@kaikai-pb7fh that ain't gonna happen. These Tories couldn't care less. As a retired nurse, I am acutely aware that they would never pay health care workers what we are worth. Therefore, the point that you make is extremely doubtful. I don't know if you have noticed but, they are trying to destroy the NHS,not solve the problems within the service. Therefore, the NHS will be ripe for full privatisation. Besides, I know lots of people I wouldn't want looking after my family, especially if they are not suitable to do so.
I always look forward to my daily episode of 'INSERT KEYWORD RICH TITLE'
WHERE IS THE HUMANITY ???
Cleverly by name but not nature😂😂😂😂
Not cleverly by name either.Abhorrent.
Of "Brain"tree apparently 😂
Hi from Brisbane Australia James, enjoy your show when I catch it. I think this is a disgusting change pandering to the worst in their party…my dear Dog, how citizens vote for these awful politicians I do not know!
Unfortunately the answer lies in there being more than 50% of the electorate are brainless. More unfortunate is that these procreate & this will only increase.
If the firm were happy with the worker for two years work and did not wish any consequences for such a minor infraction, for a huge PR win maybe they could employ the worker in house rather than outside contractor's?
A win win for both Worker and company, just the PR would be fantastic I think.
Great idea.
Love the occasional appearance of the “big mug” every so often on screen and phone 😂
I'm a sixty-year-old Brit, most of my career was in Hong Kong, affluent enough to live on saving and investments, my wife is a HK Chinese Canadian, of my age a skilled professional, she is not a BNO HKer , so cannot get political refugee status. Can we spend our retirement in the UK? Currently I'm on family duty in UK and she is working in Canada, ps great book .
Farewell, LBC intern. We hardly knew ye.
I'm watching just because of the title.
RICH TITLE, assume this is to do with one of those Millionaire Brexit clowns.
Wrong..
[Keyword Rich Title]
What's the best way for the tories not to spend money on care? Not having people working in the sector. Et voilá!
The cleaning agency should pay a better wage and keep their workers, as long as the sandwich is clean it is no worse than making a takeaway lunch bag of leftovers. Waste nothing.
if she was cleaning that would of been chucked away anyways. but she was hungry so what's the problem
Nice title
I really hope she wins😊😊
Great title!
A tuna sandwich and three slices of tomato how dare they , there was a time they would have been shipped in chains to Australian penal colonies for 50 years and rightly so lol
The company where this lady took the remainder of a sandwich should offer her a permanent job. The money they spent on agency feres could be used to pay this lady more money. It would also be a kind gesture to supply this lady the lunch she needs.
I cannot understand why some people would rather throw food away than allow someone who was working for them to eat it.
I don't live in Britain. I live in Scotland but we are with you. I hope the other countries in the UK will joining with you.. A United Europe May just be able to help. Stronger together, especially now
Someone messed up on the title 😂
[INSERT COMMENT RICH TITLE]
HEY many be if they paid her better she would not need to eat left over food.[ I would not eat left over fish as it would give you food poisoning] S why is she not been paid more not been sacked for eating thrown away food.
I assume it was leftovers from a lunch that happened at most an hour or so prior, so no such risk.
Even if the cleaner was the wealthiest cleaner on the planet, why would one prefer tossing sandwiches over someone else enjoying this sandwich?
When the government thought it was a great idea for brexit WITHOUT solving the problem of staff shortages in hospitals and the at home care service they really sealed the deal on utter stupidity. My Mum was taken into hospital and because she was in for more than seven days she lost her place with the carer service, she needed 2 carers 4 times a day plus me every day as she had no mobility, now because the at home carers companies were all short staffed she had to wait 8 months to get home as they wouldn't let her out without her care plan in place. I had council officials come to the hospital and having meetings with me telling me mum would have to go into a home as she was bed blocking which I refused as I knew once they out her there they would forget about her and she wouldn't get home also I was worried that if we had another lockdown I wouldn't be able to see her and she would have went down hill so she stayed in the hospital with me there everyday until we got her home. I have got so many horrific stories from my time there of patients dying because nobody would feed them because they were short staffed I would help other patients when I was there because it was so bad. Patients who were dying were not shown any respect also the grieving family weren't either they would be dying on the middle of the ward with no privacy for them or their family and it makes older patients feel scared all because these idiots in power told all these people go home we don't want you here and not realising we don't have people who can or will fill the void so countless older people are being left to die due to staff shortages which is disgusting and makes my blood boil. I could give you a hundred horrible stories about the hospital and the care service my mum received so much so I'm terrified to get older
OK if it was a BLT I could understand, but Tuna come on little Britain. 🇪🇦
Intern getting fired
Unequal treatment at work is rife. Not relating to sandwiches or anything but if an advisor does something from breach of security to sending a gif by email it is a major issue. However, when it is pointed out before or during a hearing that managers had done the same and it was ignored, suddenly the matter is dropped.
What a shame! Sacked for eating tuna sandwich? Those employers are just piece of s***t! Why working for such company anyway?
Google says that the optimum number of people that the U K can sustain is 20 million ! We import 40% of our needs, and cannot be self sufficient
A got fired for something that happend when I was off on holiday for 4 days and when they blamed me for the incident they total forgot I was off then said we have fallen out and carnt work professionally now
This smells fishy
2:11:06 and the police thought that this was in the public interest to prosecute
Collectible title
After listening to half of this episode I am struck by James' failure to say the words 'raise wages to get indigenous people to fill the vacancies.' while acknowledging the wages are too low.
Seems kind of obvious to me.
🕊️
After looking at half of these comments I am struck by the idiocy of people who keep using the word 'indigenous' to describe British people. When will they acknowledge that this country is built on migration. Seems obvious to me that we are anything but 'British'.
@@MsCharlieBrown78
I am struck by the number of people that don't know the definition of indigenous.
🕊️
Because it won't help much? Even with much better salaries there are not enough people in the UK who are able to do these jobs
The romans and Vikings were indigenous to the British Isles? I didn’t realise, thanks for educating me.
Davidcody even if the wages are raised indigenous people still would not take these jobs. It is beneath them.
they treat you like vermin at those job centres.
Lesson: Never vote Con-Artist.
Or make one the Defence Secretary.

@@anonomous8719 Unless you're a 1percenter, I can assure you your life would have been and was (if you're old enough) under a Labour government. Especially if you have need to use the NHS.
@@TalesOfWar incorrect - they ran the country into the ground including and up to the financial crisis
Its wickedness distilled...
i would tell the brits when you go abroad for holiday you must have 3000 ponds/week if you want to take your family
These employers need a lesson from Veronica with a K.
I say, Lord Money of Bankington, I've never had a keyword inserted *there* before 🤭
Had my finger cut off at work and spent 12 hours in A&E getting it sorted and stitched back on, had a call about 2 hours after I’d left the hospital from my boss wanting to know why I wasn’t on shift for the morning shift I was supposed to be on.
It's a reminder of the house maids or nannies in South Africa
No one will mine coal or oil/gas if they can train as a sustainable energy engineer
14:00 - point is, they're coming here to alleviate the strain that is preventing them from coming.
That right, Cleverly - give it to those lousy care workers.
He really is one of the most ill-named people in British politics today. Cleverly by name - pathetic by nature.
James O'Brien is usually better than this.
The cleaner Gabriela Rodriguez is not taking legal action against Devonshire Solicitors. In fact Devonshore Solicitors have said they do not have a problem with Gabriela Rodriguez working at their offices or eating left over sandwiches
Gabriela Rodriguezis taking action against her employer Total Clean who sacked her against the wishes of Devonshire Solicitors.
I think you need to see the ban of overseas care workers bringing their families with them in the context of an aging population who are viewed as a drain on finances. If they all die prematurely, due to lack of adequate care, well thats a win/win situation for the tories.
When I came here some years ago, I easily brought my wife and children with me, then my parents, then hers. Then a couple of my cousins and their children. Shame that the rules are changing
James. U are. RIGHT...
Why is Labour adopting ill-conceived Tory policies that in over a decade have nearly brought the country to its knees? I have never in my life worried about immigration. I am more concerned about the fact that international corporations are poisoning our rivers, and that so many people in this country are living in poverty, while a tiny minority get richer.
It's a question I ask myself too. Labour (rightly) condemn the policies that have brought ruin on the country, yet have no intention of changing them. Their fiscal policy is virtually the same, most (if not all) of labour's policies that would genuinely bring change have been ditched, and their "Brexit" policy is nothing more than a meaningless slogan.
I was at an interview and half the people did not show up
You have sobered up. Even in prison, I think you are treated better than the Corporations!
So you want immigrants in prison?
01:21:49 Oh the irony of that on a different day James would be railing at and lambasting the likes of this gangmaster (sorry, "employer") for discriminating against people with mental or physical disabilities, addictions and the rest simply because they "don't look right" or whatever.
The job centre is literally less accommodating than the probation service... it's not the fault of those working there, who, I imagine are under equally strict restrictions and requirements that they must adhere to just to avoid losing that job, being sat on the other side of the desk, and pleading for help so as not to end up sleeping hungry on the streets.
The Tory version of a safety net is to make the gaps in the net bigger and put spikes beneath, so you don't dare fall through.
People of Gaza want their own land, rightly so, they had it, but Israel have destroyed it. It wasn't the best. But better than the native Americans and Australians have !
Parliamentary cote been broken is another way for the guilty ones to be honoured with one title or another that will make sure they economically de fraught the tax paying public for life,examples of what am saying they are all over the place you can never miss seeing them if you only look around you,this is the sad realisation we are living in.
Sacked for stealing food and putting her companies reputation into dispute.
Fixed the title for you.
No. Such. Thing as a KIND TORY
Please, bring back original Wimpey.
Should be a shaming of petty ppl it was call jobs worth in the 1980 1990 more than my jobs worth rutted out the pathetic.
"callousness or stupidity" says it all about this govt.
All. Cleverlies. Are NOT. CLEAVER
So the gov employs private companies to be work coaches, these coaches don’t help find you a job, they do nothing but add to the misery of being on benefits, job centres don’t have jobs, it’s a joke and benefit claimants are now just a political football to be kicked and blamed for everything they do wrong, after working all my days and being made redundant I needed to claim for 8 weeks while waiting on my start date for my new job and it was a horrific experience,
[INSERT JAMES WITTICISM]
Was there sweetcorn and Mayo in that sarnie ?
1:37:08 oh well that makes it all better then ... so the lawyers arent directly responsible ... just indirectly responsible ... 1:37:39 i retract my previous statement pending further information
All the questions your asking James are the same questions Britain had before we joined the Common market. Which his now the EU. People were told to get on their bikes ,then Thatcher had a brain wave an joined Europe.
Is the list that the Palestinian woman is refering to like Scheindlers?
We are lucky to have these wonderful people, we act like its a privailage for them to come here to live and work whilst imposing all sorts of nonsencical conditions upon them which affect their every day life. Soon these people will figure out that actually britain isnt that great and there are much better options.
dependant is a noun meaning "someone who depends on support from others, usually financially". Dependent is an adjective and means "relying on"
Eg. _the _*_dependant_*_ is _*_dependent_*_ upon the provider_
🤣🤣🤣
Cleverly’s scheme really is slightly tarted up servitude.
I think Keith found a way to drive comment engagement on these videos.
I as a South African of Indian decent remember (I’m 67) white British people were brought to sou Africa to do jobs reserved for white people. These people were often unsuited for the jobs they were gifted. Plumbers electricians builders and the like. They were dependant on the skills of people working under them ( black and brown men) who were not allowed to be tradesmen and earn the salaries of skilled workers but did the work the “baas” took credit for.
In factories and workshops they were the managers or foremen,supervising people far more skilled. Lived in beautiful homes expropriated from black and brown people.
We all know how the British plundered and murdered where ever they went. Your people James,have a lot to answer for.
which ones?
@@alexsampsonite2176 which ones?
Is this what’s known as “inverted” racism?
8:255 ... for now ... but the way things are going in the uk....
It may be an unwelcome comment but UK’s treatment of immigrants contrasts poorly with Russia’s welcome to the hundreds of thousands of refugees from Donbas,Kherson, Kharkiv etc. Families are rehoused and jobs are guaranteed. If you do not believe me, please check your facts first.
They are only refugees because of Russia attacking them. Resettling a population you have invaded is not "welcome" it is kidnapping.
Totally un-British
Who is he "talking to"
It was a set-up.
Ppl forget that a Cleaner is the most undervalued career doing a very important job..setting the standards.
Sounds like they scoffed at her nationality "crumbing it"
Technically, taking something without permission or leaving a note to say you've taken it, is stealing, but if something on a plate is left for washing, then the sandwhich was meant to go in the Bin.
They sacked her on the grounds of race, nationality and pettiness.
Why can't staff empty their own Bin on the way out, get a rahtid cordless hoover, and a cloth to wipe their own desk it's not Rocket science it's just sheer laziness.

So People who work for months on a cruise ships should have their dpendents with them too?
If there was a shortage of people wanting to work on cruise ships then I'm pretty sure the cruise ship operators would consider this, so yes.
Unless your british
@TheBigB6 No, including if YOU'RE (please note the spelling) British. If a company has a shortage of workers and the reason for that shortage is that potential workers are unable to look after their dependents due to restrictions, then that company is able to lift those restrictions. Care homes will be unable to do this as this is a governmental decision. I hope you and/or any family members you may have don't need a place or help from a care provider anytime soon.
‘Comin here to look after my mum so I don’t have to..’
Kind of a punch in the face for those of us who may have tried everything within our power to keep our parents out of care but who nevertheless ended up in care.
A bit disappointing from James that one
So you rely on others to help, because you can't compromise your whole life to do it yourself. I don't think he meant you should feel shame about it, but you have just confirmed his point that such people are essential in our communities.
The new law introduced by the tories is a fantastic step. It means carers, nurses etc can't bring their family with them anymore. This is fantastic because currently one part time minimum wage carer from africa can bring her uncle, 7 children and husband over who can then claim student loans and grants and benefits. It's costing us billions. Now the tories should do the same with students. Why is the family of a Pakistani student allowed to move here and claim benefits and take up school resources? Contact your local MP and tell them to expand it to students.
Why should a menial minimum wage worker or student being here means they get to bring the whole village. The family members can claim benefits, student finance etc. It's disgraceful.
Probably because we are in desperate need of care workers and most people don't want to move countries if it means their minor kids aren't welcome and need to be left behind. This isn't an all or nothing game. The tories are perfectly capable of writing policy which says children can travel with their mothers. Nobody is asking for the whole village, that's a ridiculous strawman you've invented.
@@Accountforstuff no it isn't a ridiculous strawman. I work in the system and see the money they get so you are a liar and using a strawman yourself. You lot always do this. Use ad hominem and simply accuse those you disagree with of lying
@@stephenmurray2851Ad hominem is when you focus on the person doing the argument rather than the argument itself.

Ere we go. Under a JoB administration one anchor immigrant working over here can bring in their kids. And siblings. And parents. And grandparents. And aunties, uncles, cousins ...
They can't just bring them into the country,that's nonsense. I have worked with many people who are over here on sponsorship , their families , including wives/children,parents are still in their own country.
Yes, because everything always has to be all or nothing. It's not possible to write legislation that limits it to children and a spouse, it can only possibly be implemented if the whole country gets to move too. Come on, you were born with a brain, time to get using it.
@@Accountforstuff in JoB's admin there'd be special exceptions if extended family are deemed as dependants cuz of his "nice" politics.
(Only v quickly it'd stop being the exception and they'd all be doing it.)
@tombartram7384 well I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that the JoB party is not standing in any election. It would probably also be useful for you to know that since 2013 with Cameron in charge deportations have fallen over 50% and are trending down. Immigration levels have about doubled in the same time frame. Under the previous Labour government immigration increased much more slowly and there were far more deportations. It's almost like Tories don't want to prevent high immigration for some reason. Facts are facts, regardless of how "tough on immigration" they will pretend to be to get your vote.
