People call me ignorant but everyone is ignorant about something. 🤷🏽♀️ It’s the entire point of this channel in a way. Reacting to something you're unfamiliar/ uneducated about is what makes these culture reactions interesting lol Anyways, like the vid 👍🏾 What should we react to/ learn about next?? DM Vid requests on Instagram @ favour_abara ✨💕
The houses of Parliament refers to Parliament as a whole.
The house of commons is the part which is the lower chamber of Parliament and is made up of members of parliament, each one represents a constituency somewhere in the UK and has been elected by those local people as thier representatives in government.
The upper chamber of Parliament is known as the House of Lords which is where people who are given a Lordship sit.
It's a two chamber system similar to that in the US.
The colours representing the two main parties are also reverse that of the US.
So in the US republicans are red and Democrats are blue.
Here in the UK Conservatives are blue and labour are red.
In the UK, opposition party is a term. Its a term that refers to the largest political party within Parliament that is in second place.
So you have the government (currently Conservatives) who won the most seats in Parliament at the last election but then you have what is called the official opposition party (currently Labour) who came in second highest in number of seats.
The position of official opposition means that thier members of parliament sit on the benches directly opposite side from the government benches at the other side of the dispatch box.
,, the educated, have only learnt 10 seconds before the next dude 😏
Do the oversimplified ww2 series!
Dig out Churchill actually giving the "We shall never surrender" speech- oh my days, it gets me right down to my toes even to this day.
Wtf😂😂😂
Yes, I second that! ‘If necessary for years, if necessary alone’ Is one of my favourite parts of that speech! Also I’d recommend watching ‘The Gathering Storm (both films, ones a remake) and Darkest Hour! To get the sense of just how close the British and consequently the world came to becoming ruled by the Nazi’s!
YESSS brilliant suggestion worlds recognisable speech
@@__oscrippy4959 what?
Old Scottish saying " sometimes you have to walk with the devil to cross the bridge " which is the best way to describe stalin during ww2
We kinda traded one villain for another. Thank God those 2 beat the shit out of each other and had very little keep fighting.
To understand this context for Churchill, the UK was the last Western European power not to fall to Germany to WW2- the Battle of Britain was the defining moment in the early WW2 period. The victory in the battle of Britain (with pilots from around the world) allowed the war on two fronts to continue and meant Germany did not attempt an invasion. The UK didn't "win " WW2 but we made sure it wasn't going to be lost. His speeches, particularly during this time, are legendary.
I disagree we did win along with the allies.
@@Biketunerfy we may have "won" the war but we certainly lost due to the empire collapsing
There was a squadron of Polish pilots involved in the Battle of Britain and a small number of pilots from other countries but most of the pilots, by far, were British.
Winston Churchill’s mother Jennie was born in Brooklyn New York. We don’t have Republicans and Democrats in the UK.
Excellent reaction. I remember Churchill's funeral. It was a massive event. Churchill had won a Nobel prize for literature - you'll also be pleased to know that his Mother was American
"Stay within your own borders" says the person living in Texas.
Winston Churchill’s mother was American! It might tell you later in this video but I think that’s one reason he had a great affinity for the USA, and consequently why the US and the UK are such close allies to this day! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸❤️
The US would never try to expand it's borders and conquer more land 😅😅😅
You mean something like sending the marines to Hawai and giving the Queen the choice: Sign this letter "We are now owned by the USA" or see how we murder your people?
Or the Invasion of the Phillipines or "Mexico - We think we will take Texas and parts of California too". No never happend
@@DSP16569 Of course the US would never do that, they would also NOT fund terrorism in the Middle East and then go to the countries and give them freedom and take their oil. Absolutely could never happen
King George the 6th was the Queens father, he died in 1952, only 56 years old. She was 25, that is why she has been Queen for so long. As for the Lend Lease Act, it did help us but we were paying that back until 2006! I doubt Germany and Japan paid money back like that! Winston made mistakes, and many of them, but 1940 was his year and he stepped up to it superbly
Parliament is split up between the House of Lords and the House of Commons
Hi Favour, in regard to the land lease agreement, the UK purchased the equivalent of £21 billion throughout the war and we made a final payment in December 2006 of £45 million.
react to ‘Prime Minister’s Questions’ to see how our debates work.
There should be a disclaimer that it's politics so can be pretty boring but at least the shadow leader goes head to head with the PM & the last speaker John Bercow was entertaining. ORDER!!
Not a good idea as long as Boris is pm. He doesn't answer questions, he just waffles on about anything be feels like, avoiding the actual truth every single time. He makes a mockery of parliament.
Oh, and the houses of parliament consist of two houses, the house of commons where elected mps vote and the house of lords, where everything voted for in the commons gets checked. They have the power to reject policies and order changes or pass them up to Liz to be ratified.
And finally... There is no party called the opposition party, that's just the party with the second highest number of mps. They're in opposition to the government. The three main ones are Tory (conservative), Labour and liberal democratic. The lesser parties (such as greens, brexit, ukip, monster raving loony) rarely ever get more more than two or three mps
@@AndrewHalliwell and the house of Lords are not elected unlike the senate.
I believe the MPs have to address their responses through the speaker as they can't directly insult the MP they are speaking to.
My grandad has told me stories about hearing the German planes flying over. They were targeting a factory in my home town that was making weapons.
you should listen to the actual Churchill speech it is on youtube and its something that gives me chills listening to
Churchill was the only person not a member of the Royal Family to be given a State funeral. I remember watching it on TV.
There have also been ones for the Duke of Wellington and Nelson.
Stalin was a bad guy, but not because of Communism. Regardless of what you've no doubt been told, the aims of Communism are noble enough. To put everyone on the same level playing field. It, and socialism (don't confuse the two because they are NOT the same), was a reaction to what you have in the US today. Where workers were being shafted with poor pay and working conditions to make a few rich landowners even wealthier. The reason Communism took hold in Russia and didn't in other European nations is that Russians had it worse than virtually anyone else in Europe at the time with serfdom still in operation. Russians were not particularly free even before the Revolution, with some of the poorest people in Europe, so Communism sounded like a great idea at the time.
Stalin, however, was a paranoid lunatic. He initially signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and they agreed to carve up Poland between them. So, he was initially an aggressor. He only changed sides after Hitler betrayed him and invaded the Soviet Union.
@ 15:40 the UK was the only country for whom the US did not forgive their debt. We paid it back in full...
He was 30 years old one Queen Victoria died put the in the prospective And he was the Prime Minister when Queen Elizabeth became the Queen
Churchill was not a Republican. The interesting thing about conservative politics is that in each country Conservatives are conserving something slightly different because culture and history is different. So in the UK, a conservative is pro Monarchy, pro tradition, pro-Britian pro-NHS etc.
Winston's mum was very influential in his life. She knew all the right people and made sure Winston had access to them. One of them even told a young Winston that one day he'd be Prime Minister.
I knew someone whose father went to school (Harrow) with Churchill. Some older boy had Winston on the floor fighting, and when he stood up he said "one day I shall be Prime Minister, and you will still be nothing!"
From what i understand (feel free to correct this) on our British scale of left/right politics, both the Republican and Democrat parties in America would fall on the right-wing side of our politics (Republicans being more right-wing than Democrats). Democrats are essentially our moderate Conservatives. Our Labour Party traditionally sits in the left-wing of our political spectrum
@@gideonroos1188 i don't see how you can call the DUP left wing
In the 1940s many counties may have been settled but after WWI Germany was very poor and there were some people like Hitler who wanted to change that and make 'Germany great again'
The “Opposition Party” was misleading. The “Leader of the Opposition” is just the MP in the House of Commons (one of the two Houses of Parliament, the other being the House of Lords) that is the leader of the second biggest party in Parliament. Atm, the tories are in power, and labour is the second biggest party, so their leader Sir Kier Starmer is the known as the Leader of the Opposition
Soviet Union next please. The history of USSR is one of the most interesting of 20s century. It helps you better understand Russia political ideology and actions of Russia nowdays
Following on Churchills mother, Winston Churchills mother was from New York. So Winston Churchill was part American.
And she was an actress, without any blue blood in her lineage.
@@jayanthony2414 Half of his family come from the US so yes it is how it works.
If someone's parent is from somewhere else then half of their heritage comes from that parents place of birth
Winston Churchill is the greatest man 🇬🇧
When they refer to the Cuban war, why is the flag placed in Colombia?
Some of the German soldiers were just innocent young men who wanted to fight for their country, not having a clue about the horrendous acts taking place (holocaust).
Some, not all
@@richardbradley1598 99% of them were normal people like you and I. We would have most likely both been nazis.
Under the lend and lease act the UK settled it's debts with the USA in 2006 - yes it took 60 years to pay - there were 50 instalments paid from 1950 - we also paid Canada back too (but the figures were lower) - The US loaned the UK US$4.33 billion in 1945 and Canada US$1.19 billion - 6 of the payments were deferred due to economic or political issues throughout that time. I actually remember the news broadcast saying we had paid it off. What worries me is that in the last year we have borrowed money far in excess of the equivalent since then.
18;58: there was Winston Churchill jr that entered parliament in the eighties and there was a nephew as well. So yes there are quite a few of the spencer- Churchills in and round parliament
I’ve been to Chartwell (his home in Kent) and it really is simply beautiful, the house itself and the grounds are gorgeous ✨
Conservative are centre right, labour are centre left. Where as republicans are far right and democrats a little left of republicans on the far right. So the parties don’t really correlate across countries.
React to the fallen of ww2
From what I understand of the end of the cold war was Russia and eastern europe never fully recovered from the first and second world wars as well as the Russian civil war. Already underdeveloped and then devistated and depopulated it was put under an economic strangle hold by the US and her alies; by then the preminent global superpower.
The space race and arms race spelled the economic doom of the sovie union, pushed to breaking point by the US. It fell apart due to internal revolutions and political wrangling. Basicaly Gorbechov tried to reform the economy; the military tried to push a failed coup and the new president of Russia neutered the Charman of the soviet union by disolving the union.
Parties on the political spectrum have differing names in various countries. They also may have the same name to other parties (in different countries) but hold extremely different beliefs and in actuality be on opposite sides of the spectrum; which is what may cause confusion. E.g., in Australia, the Liberal party is actually conservative, whilst the Labor party is liberal. Though, neither parties are at the far end of the spectrum; they're more centred. Different countries/their political systems & their culture have differing perspectives on what's characterised as conservative and what's not.
"So he's a democrat" no. Democrats aren't liberal, or pro free market as the video says. Churchill would have been either republican or libertarian in American terms.
Originally Stalin was with Hitler until Germany invaded parts of Russian territory and then he switched sides, which was lucky because at this point Britian was on her own fighting since France had been occupied and America refused to get involved once again instead choosing to take the oppertunity to put Britan and other european countries in debt to them instead. Than between Britian and Russia we managed to start turning things in our favour and coming out on top just in time for Pearl Harbour and America realising they couldn't fight Japan alone so under the disguise of "coming to the rescue" America joined the war. So basically both Russia and America got hit by Britians enemies and that's the only reason they were on the good side of the war than they started the cold war and both did disgusting and horrible things to humans, Russia as a Communist country and America as a Capitalist country because both systems hate humans, so in the grand scheme of things having Stalin or Roosevelt wasn't great but its all we had to work with at the time when Germany was litrally banging at our door.
Yes we owed the USA
On 31 December 2006, Britain made a final payment of about $83m (£45.5m) and thereby discharged the last of its war loans from the US. By the end of World War II Britain had amassed an immense debt of £21 billion.
the uk conservative party is a lot different from the republican party. republican in the uk is people who dont like the monachy
But not so different in their politics. As in they are both right wing.
The war of 1812 was in America. The British sailed up the potomac and burned the White House
It's shocking how little this woman knows 😲
There was a video I watched once, I wish I knew where I saw it but they read out portions of speech and asked what students thought of the ideology - they agreed with and praised one which the lecturer revealed was delivered by Hitler and condoned the ideology of one which turned out to be from Churchill.
Stalin was an ally of convenience and necessity during WW2 purely because the Third Reich and the axis powers were a bigger threat at the time. Post WW2 there were a cultural and political rival.
Parliamentary files are in Hansard.
9/11 is pocket change to a Londoner in 1940.
Two birds with one stone: read Boris Johnson's biography "The Churchill Factor". Johnson is a far better writer than PM 😊 imo.
Btw Churchill's mother was American, her father owned the majority of New York Times, and she is credited with inventing the Manhattan cocktail 😊🍸
I'm sure you could find more factual write ups elsewhere.
@That American Girl I highly recommend the Churchill Museum. The cabinet war rooms is his secret bunker during WW2.
Good video :) there is so much information out there about Churchill - he was a good Prime Minister to have during the war but wasn't what we needed once the war ended hence why he lost the 1945 general election and why his 1951 return was not remembered as fondly. He wasn't perfect [had some appalling views on race in particular] and his full background is interesting should you have the time to look into it.
House of commons is in parliament it is the lower house the representatives are elected. The house of lords is the upper house that is unelected
I have an A-level homework to write an obituary about him today so this comes in handy lmao
My birthday is November 30th also. In Scotland it is St.Andrew’s Day
Is that a journey evolution T ? Cool!
You should hear Churchill himself speaking this speech it gives goosebumps
we only finished paying America back for the guns and stuff a few years ago
Diana, Princess of Wales, and Winston Churchill, were distant cousins. Charles Spencer married Lady Anne Churchill. They were the five-times-great-grandparents of Winston Churchill and the seven-times-great-grandparents of Diana.
I like watching these british history videos from you
Britain is a first past the post multi party system. That means we are split into a number of seats across the country - each MP (Member of Parliament) fills a seat. The locals vote for who fills their seat. The person with the most votes - wins and fills that seat for their party. (Anyone can stand in the election if they put up the money - the money is forfeit if they don't get enough votes to redeem it.)
The major parties are Conservatives (similar to republicans), then Labour (Closest to democrats), then the Scottish nationalist party - SNP (to the left of labour) and then the liberal democrats (between the cons and labour), and the Greens (to the left of the SNP).
Then it's all the smaller parties who didn't get seats in Parliament, but stood in the election. The Brexit party (to the right of cons), The Christian Family rights (to the right of cons), The Socialists (to the left of the greens), the monster raving looney party (out for a giggle) and so on.
The party with the most seats in parliament form the government, the party with the second most number of seats is called the "opposition party" because they sit opposite the government and form a "Shadow Government" that is in opposition to the actual government.
The Opposition party get a number of perks - like being first and getting a certain number of questions they can ask the government each week at PMQ - Prime Ministers Questions - where they can hold the government to task for things they either have done or should have done and haven't. (That doesn't work as well with Boris as with previous PMs - they aren't allowed to lie - but he does it continuously, as does his ministers and they get away with it. kinda like Trump.)
PS... The republican movement in the UK and her dominions (Canada, Australia, etc.) is the movement to remove the royal family as each countries head of state. If you talk about republicanism - that's what most people in the UK will automatically associate it with.
16:43: In 1945 there were three parties the conservatives, Labour and the Liberal parties. during the war, it was agreed by both parties to have a prime minister and 2 deputy prime ministers. I think Clement Atley of the Labour party was one I'm not sure who was the other. As soon as the war was over the pack was dissolved
I've been to chartwell.churchills own home nr seven oaks kent.really great on an open day.
Fun Fact: the UK made it's last WW2 Lend Lease repayment to the USA IN 2006, 61 years after the war ended.
The 'Debate files' are what is known as 'Hansard'. This is a verbatim record of whatever has been said in Parliament. They are publicly available.
British Parliament is divided into The House of Commons, which includes. Ordinary people, voted by the people into Members of Parliament (MPs) - those who win the Election by receiving the mos Votes & their Leader becomes the Prime Minister (PM) whilst the Party who loses becomes The Opposition ; opposite the Government. Debates are held regarding governing the country. The Upper House - The House of Lords - whor debate & deny or approve of the changes to any new Laws proposed by the Government who sit in The House of Commons, thus both Houses of Parliament are needed to run the country. Hope this helps you. 😊
Churchill assumed the role to lead a coalition during WW2 but as soon as he stood for election in Jul 1945 he and the Conservatives were voted out of office mainly by the votes from the Armed forces. This brought in a period of profound change creating a National health service. enhanced educational opportunities, increased social welfare, the creation of nationalised industries that were needed to help recover from the ravages suffered during the War
...you might want to watch the coverage of Churchill's funeral....it's quite something...
In the UK the 2 main Political Parties are the Conservatives & Labour. The Cons are similar to the Republicans & Lab to the Democrats if you were to make a comparison to the US, however not exactly the same.
Not quite. We hardly have conservatives in this country. The Conservative party is like neocons and neolibs, while Labour is like the sanders wing of the Democrats
@@permets2apollox453 Yes I agree but to give an American a basic understanding as the UK is vastly different to the US. You’re right both Tory & Labour are Neo-Con. Labour is under Starmer anyway.
I would say the tories are nowhere near as right wing as the Republican party in the USA i would say apart from the name the Republican would have most in common with the DUP in the North of Ireland.
The main Republican parties in the UK are Sinn Fein the Scottish Greens & a few other parties which are all left wing .
Problem was as far as 'borders' went in Eastern Europe, there were pockets of German speaking people all over. The borders were kind of arbitrary.
You must listen to Churchills speeches, his voice really effects you
Churchill's grandson was a Conservative MP but was kicked out of the party for being against Brexit.
in war, you find you have strange bedfellows
I was about to say this in the very beginning when you wanted to see whether he was a republican or democrat - like if it could only be one of those dichotomies, but I waited until you commented on that 4 parties were a lot. It would be fun to see your thoughts about other political systems with several parties to choose from. In Sweden, where I'm from, we have 8 different parties in the parlament. And imo, they all serves their place.
Stalin stood shoulder to shoulder with Hitler until Hitler stabbed him in the back.
Parliament has a 'Hansard' every debate is recorded and publicly available to everybody within Britain and the world should they request it
Master of his craft.
His grandson is in parliament
Stalin was bad but he helped us defeat hitler
My nan still called Stalin, Uncle Joe
a case of my enemy's enemy is my friend
He didn't have any choice in the matter! It wasn't a case of him doing it to help us.
@@danosverige ik but he still did help
FYI King George the 6th (the king during ww2) was the current queen's dad so yep he passed away a very long time ago
And lol the house of commons is in the houses of Parliament there's 2 houses the commons and the Lords, the commons are were the Debates happen and were laws are discussed, (laws have to pass through both houses and get the final go ahead from the Queen to actually become law) I think theres some sort of rule that the monarch can't enter the house of commons since Charles 1 and our civil war so the queen opens parliament from the house of Lords
14:01: I can be referred to as either Parliament or Commons
I really think it's the us school system.
Churchill was good at giving speaches. he had an interesting way of putting his views across
14:30: Toward the end of the war when some of the concentration camps had been liberated. troops from the allied force shocked at what they witness got some of the local German people and took them to the concentration camps and got them to move the bodies into graves.
You should react to some of Churchill's speeches!
the uk conservative party isn't rlly comparable to the republicans. it's conservative, as in it doesn't like social change, but the republicans are far more right wing than the conservatives. The tories are kind of a centrist monarchist party with heavy ties to the upper class aristocracy. And the "liberal party" is also not comparable to the democrats. The Liberal party was an anti-tax, anti-restriction party. Most comparible to the Modern day libertarian party, but far more moderate.
Fun fact-Winston Churchill is related to Lady Diana Spencer and has royal blood[Diana Spencer a.k.a Princess Diana]Meaning hes related To Prince Harry and Prince William and there kids
Even funner fact. Churchill has become a sacred cow for many people in Britain. We’re told the story of his defeating Nazism and single-handedly delivering us from evil, a gross oversimplification. Stalin defeated Nazism too. We don’t pretend that absolves Stalin of his terrible crimes against humanity. The problem with Churchill is that fewer people in the UK seem to even know about his crimes than know about Stalin’s. Like it or not, Churchill was intensely racist, even by the standards of the time. He described Indians, for example, as a ‘beastly people’ with a ‘beastly religion’ and affirmed his belief that the ‘Aryan race will triumph’. Fellow Tories, including future Prime Minister Anthony Eden, didn’t trust him because of this. He told a Royal Commission that there was nothing wrong with what the ‘higher-grade’ white race had done to Native Americans, Aborigines and black Africans. When the Bengal famine struck and four million died, for which he was significantly to blame, he said it was their own fault for ‘breeding like rabbits’. Actually, it was his fault for taking their food away to stockpiles, which didn’t need it, destroying their boats and denying aid for months until photos of the corpses of starved children hit British papers. Add to that his use of concentration camps in Kenya, poison gas against Russians, Kurds and Arabs, Black & Tans paramilitaries in Ireland, his fierce advocacy of ‘terror bombing’ civilians and plenty more and we should stop pretending that crimes of this scale can be excused for any man
@@cathalodiubhain5739 I will also add his terrible attitude to the British working class, his appalling behaviour towards striking miners fighting for better pay and working conditions while Home Secretary was to actually " shoot them " both my Grandfathers were miners at the time and totally hated him.
React to the fallen of WW2!
The War Rooms is well worth a few visits. Did I miss it or did they not include the charge of the 21st Lancers in the Mahdist War?
Also the Conservative Party is actually conservative as opposed to the modern day American Republican Party which is more closely related to the National Socialist Party in Germany in the early 1920's through 1945.
15:41: There was strong opposition from the Republicans, to America getting involved in another war in Europe until that is Pearl happened and then all that changed
He was a well-liked guy I wouldn't go that far I personally respect him but I don't know how much people like him
Politics is different in the UK.
To begin with The UK Conservative party is generally further left than the US Republican Party and Labour Party has varied over recent years from almost centrist to Centre Left/Hard Left.
Due to the way our politics work it's generally only one of two parties - Conservative (Tory) Party and The Labour Party that gain power.
It's generally the left leaning ideals, parties or other Nationalist parties that favour Republicanism (Anti-Monarchy). The right or centre right parties such as The Brexit party, UKIP and the Conservatives are very pro Monarchy.
Here's a good article on the differences, www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/10/brits-comparing-us-uk-politics-different-democratic
No-one was 'defeated' in the cold war, the union collapsed in on itself.
The UK finally repaid its wartime debt to the US in 2006 !!!
Parliament is the union of both the House of Commons (lower house) and the House of Lords (upper house), the house of Parliament is also known as the Palace of Westminster/Westminster Palace.
Have mad respect for my guy🥺
The conservative party in the UK is not like the republican party in the US. All political parties in the US are far more right leaning than the most hardline conservatives in the UK. You can not place the two parties in the same group
Apart perhaps from Margaret Thatcher's friendship with Ronald Reagan.
@@simonsaunders8147 Hence the use of the present tense, rather than the past tense.
the opposition party is the party that came second, third etc in the election, in this case right now, its the labour party.
Investigate the German term “Labensraum”and the Annexation of Austria and Silesia.
The war rooms are underground. Safe place to be during the Blitz.
Heyyyy another fellow Sagittarius here 😁😁😁 but 3rd December 🙂♐️💗 xx
8:18 spot on Churchill's mum, well Winston's dad was Sir Randolph Churchill MP, so mummy would just ask dad for the paperwork that Winston wanted and send them to Winston.
@ 16:40 don't forget the Monster Raving Loony Party!
