It’s great that the full show is available now. Context and narrative is so important. Also, Eff the Tories.
The tories have been in power for the last 2/3 of my life. I find it rich when they have the audacity to blame anything on the labour party
I also find this argument puzzling. Is there even any Labour politicians from a decade and half ago still in Labour to this day?
This new lot don't have a record to judge yet but the Tories blame them for mistakes made by the last Labour Gov. Its silly when you think about it.
At least it's 13 years not 25
Labour destroyed Britain with there immigration policys, the Tories couldn't reverse the mess they made.
.....except the Labour party tragically did not question the disastrous lockdown...and blindly supported the tories....!
That's about the only thing that's rich under their rule other than themselves.
Not supporting triple lock as a non pensioner is cutting your nose off to spite your face. Such a move only erodes the inevitable future decline faster.
Born in the 50s , never claimed any benefits in over 40 years of working , I saved up bought a home ( mortgaged ) at age 20 , I did masses of home improvements to increase first home value , sold ,bought bigger, interest rates went as high as 15% , struggled to bring up a family , retired , but now not entitled ( apparently) to a full state pension .
I want my pension protected , dam right
I am very glad that this show is now posted in full, so I don't have to rely on their terrible app.
I always wondered why that other channel posted the whole thing - is it his manager/producer?
It's like putting an angry, snarling XL bully in charge of the airwaves... It's little wonder Labour fail to win General Elections 🙁
Jeremy Hunt has the most appropriate name according to rhyming slang😂😂
I call it 'Manufactured Suffering'.
It is the opposite of:

When I started work I was told I could retire at 60. After working for almost 50 years I can now retire when I reach 66 and I will get the princely sum of £167 per week. So,, it looks like I will have to carry on working because my current electricity bill is £185 per month, my heating £100 per month and my average weekly shop is around £100. The sums just don't add up. 😢
No rent tho? Sell your house, live on a cruise ship. Heating, electricity and food is included.
So your government is not worth trusting ? Or you feel betrayed ? How much you get is related to what you added to your assurance during your life. What are you trying to say ?
@@frankcooke1692The weather is to bad for that.
I watched the introduction of the massive mug, but when you watch him drink normally from it it looks so surreal
Omg Full episodes on CZcams!!!! Also here to see the great mug
I exist on a state pension of around £800 a month. My landlord raised my rent £50 this month (private rental) to £525/m. My council tax is £106 a month. My energy bill doubled to £168 a month. You still think I don't need protection? I can see this new landlord will be raising my rent every year without doing the repairs needed. I can't complain as I fear my landlord will use this as an excuse to have me evicted to get in a new tenant and raise the rent even more. My husband died during the first wave of Covid, so I live alone.
So ideally, what shud the pension be in your opinion?
@@tombartram7384I think pensions should be means tested
As an American, what is a pension?
It is a way of saving money over time to use and live on.Depending on the type of pension you have you, your employer and the government pay into it each month. Then, when you retire or are no longer able to work you can use it
@@Penguin-24S99 It was a joke. I know what it is. They are just all but gone in the US.
If they stopped giving subsidies and tax cuts to the fossil fuel industry, subsidies to the railway franchises, even to to the renewable's industry.
There are probably more that I do not know about,
But its the subsidies to the fossil fuel industry that I cannot understand, why!!
The more I see of human beings, the less I have hope for the world.
The world will look after its self..... humans grocely overestimate their importance in the universe.
Community policing is so important and the cuts to police numbers have been terrible
Lots of excellent insights from your callers today, I particularly appreciate Phil and Peggy, who had some especially sensible points to make, and rather excellently stated. Helen on Twitter is probably correct in her assertion they're bluffing in order to have Jeremy Hunt (whose surname should really start with the third letter of the alphabet as far as I'm concerned!) come to the rescue. The poverty trap is certainly a big problem, I can say that as someone who is trapped in it, and it does seem to be growing bigger.
Sadly, I've been watching a few too many political discussions today, and I'm all politicked out, so I'll have to finish this some other time, though I'm certainly keen to.
That mug is ridiculous 😂
He resembles an angry XL Bulldog 🙂
Dats wat I thought 😅😂huge mug 😂😂😂
Great to have the full show, but please provide time stamps!!
At the age of 7. my daughter learned that police commit perjury
What about all the people who have never seen there state pension as the died before it was paid, the gov keep it all, and the fact they changed it to a benefit, instead of an entitlement you work and paid for,
Parliament get £126 quid for food yes someone on benefits gets £84 and that’s for electricity, gas, council tax and then food
Political parties need to remember that workers contributed to the pension funds in the belief that they'd be able to draw from it when they retired. That's _workers'_ money, there. How _dare_ any government turn around and say, "Sorry - you're not going getting the pension you paid into for the last 35-40 years"? That position alone should suffice to ensure that party never sees the right hand of the Speaker's chair, if it gets to touch the floors of the Houses at all.
£203 a week, is not much to live on and pay 'all the bills'. The minimum wage is £10.42 @37 hours = £385 before tax
Neither of my "boomer age" parents had it easy at all. They both came from quite poor backgrounds and lived on the very edge for many years, particularly through those thatcher years, and they still completely acknowledge that this government has made it harder for those coming through, and the unfairness is so obvious it's ridiculous to deny it.
Well done on your second book
You also have to remember that in the mid 1800s i think we struck oil. We got a big lottery win from under the ground from millions of years of savings ..when the 1920s 30s 40s 50s 60s was happening this was increasing and increasing and pumping and pumping...into roads cars wuarrying cement for houses ...importing advocados...importing third world food to us... cargo shipping... roads... cars wahsing machines electricity... all of it is based on oil... now oil is running out and the lottery is dwindling... and they are investing more in loterry tickets than theyre getting out of the ground... the tax systme is propping them up with subsidies... and as the tide goes out from the human race as the lottery dwindles away...we have no choice but to either invest in something sustainable for the future...or to scrabble for the last dregs ...and as that tide recedes those with the biggesy boats are digging trenches to keep them afloat...leaving the poorest stranded. Trickle down economics does work where theres something to trickle down ...we all benifit...but when the spring feeding that dries up every drop of sweat from the poor is collected..every tear is siphoned away to keep the millwheels turning. So its an inveitable decline due to that. But whether we allow the tichest to save themslves at the exoense of the masses or we manage to use the last dregs of the oil to build some water mills to keeo us going is the fight. And wverything else is a consequence of this ohsyical relaity if a huge resource which we got handed into the human race ...now running out.
Better Woke police than Corrupt police. It's really strange how a big chunk of the people in England would rather the latter.
🤠Yea haha !!!

29:20 its not unfair, nobody forced her to contribute less to society, it was a choice she made. no sense having buyers remorse now after contributing as little as possible to the country for decades
The less you have to more it costs
It’s an old ploy of for example, we are taking 3 apples from you all, everyone panics and wonders how they will manage then say ok we will only take 2 and everyone sighs with relief cause it could have been 3 !!!
Debbie is such a Karen. This is what’s wrong with people in this country.
I currently receive around £5 per hour based on a 35 hour week from my State Pension - less than 50% of the National Living Wage. So how am I supposed to live on that? Waiting for the door to close...
I know that our state pension rate is one of the worst in Europe ... I also know that as someone on long term sickness benefits (ESA), even WITH extra payments for which I had to jump through unbelievably stressful hoops, including taking the DWP to a tribunal and involving my MP ... I get approx. £50 less per week than a pensioner. I don't want pensioners to get less, and I'm pleased they don't have to go through the horror of periodically having to prove they qualify for their payments ... but welfare payments are truly poverty-causing. Especially since the cost of living surge, I have no money to do anything but buy food and pay bills. Together with the constant anxiety of even losing what little I get, it's no quality of life whatsoever. Even during Covid, the millions of us on ESA were left out of the uplift payments. This government seems to either monster you or ignore you when you are too sick to work.
I have no faith a Starmer Labour govt. would improve things for me (or anyone else but the well-off, frankly), so there's no point in voting for either of the main parties, yet smaller parties don't get a look-in under the current system. After paying into the system most of my life, I'm now completely and utterly disenfranchised. Don't think it can't happen to you! Kinnock (Snr) once said don't get old or sick if the Tories are in power ... his lot too, it now seems.
O'Bee always nailing it
If only !
Anyone else cringe when these politicians have their back & forth? Its like the worst trash talk while they have a smug look on their face. I swear they spend more time saying what they think of one another & less on actually sorting s**t out
Whodve believed, 20 years back: Norman W and his sister running Britain

It should only be linked to wages, if we all suffer then they should too and if we all win then they should too. Tyranny of the old has to stop or nobody is going to be available to wipe your arses when you get put into care so your kids can get on the housing market

29:38 AMANUENSIS- from the latin 'by hand', from manus, 'hand'.

How can you be too friendly to people who's not doing nothing wrong
We need a Tory / Labour Bingo card for PMQs these days...
Sunak "Blah blah blah Corbin..." Isn't Starmer the one that got rid of Corbin? Not really much of an attack to point out a failed pm as a dig to the guy that got rid of him...
A retired couple can't manage on a combined net of £408 a week? Me and my wife earn not much more and we actually save £4000 a year. It's probably tough on your own though.
sorry? "long term sick an ever growing problem"? I'm hopeing that this was just a slip of speech...!
As a disabled/chronically ill/ long term sick/ me/cfs / hEDS/ POTS /chronic pain suffrer (among others..) I would rather not be seen as a problem!
Society has a problem, not me!
Long term sick is a problem in the sense, health care has develop where people who would have died 40 years ago, are living and living long lives. Which means our society has to manage the additional costs of more people living longer with sicknesses. It's not a personal thing, it's a question of finding money to pay for those who need long term financial support, which is greatly increasing.
@@catam9308 It IS a personal thing if it is you or a loved one that is suffering from a chronic condition!
I know that many chronic conditions need a lot of state funded care; personally , my conditions doesn't have any cure and doesn't really have any medical treatement plan (expensive or otherwise...)
Also, I don't believe that sytemic injustice is a sufficient reason to say that some people or communities are more, or less, worthy of care!
I hope that you will never find yourself in a position where, because of a disability or chronic illness in your familly, you will be put in the position that you are forced to understand the otherside of the story...
Please, never forget that the disabled community is a community that anyone can join at any time...
@judithlashbrook4684 again, I think you're misunderstanding the point. You keep referring to people people suffering, systemic justice. Talking about it from a social and emotional perspective. I'm talking about economically. Governments have to source money to fund long term sick people. That is a internal problem, if they didn't prepare for such situations. It absolutely nothing to do with societies views on chronic illnesses, individuals views on those who are sick. I'm not suggesting, you are anyone else as a person is a problem because you have a chronic illness. You've conflated it to mean that.
@judithlashbrook4684
You live in a society that assists you financially, while living with a chronic illness. Many countries do not do that, you must understand simply from your own experiences with how you are supported, that countries like the UK have to structure its finances to cover and maintain varies schemes in place that support a wide range of people. Do you think disability/sick support just happened one day? No! It takes planning, often investment and continued management for those payments to reach people accounts and to keep being funded. Shifts in government expenditure might not mean anything to you because, you don't deal with it. Doesn't mean the people who manage the sick/disabilities fund don't have a problem on their hands, as they try to manage the future impact of needing millions in additional money. With little or no additional funding given to them to do it.
James the problem here is that you are making this a personal question if anyone deserves it or needs it or could make use of it and this is not what it is about. The real question is if it makes sense and if it is to everybody's advantage or not.
Let's make it easy, what would happen if tomorrow all retirees would die? Or let's say disappear, that sounds less aggressive. The answer is very easy, the whole economy would collapse instantaneously because there are a lot less people who buy stuff.
What would happen when you give all retirees twice as much money as they have now? Well, starting tomorrow, the TV adds would look a lot differently than today and the economy would go through the roof. If you want to know more about it there was a great Englishman named John Maynard Keynes and he wrote it down in detail. Greetings from Germany.
Let's means test PM pensions

Such a generalistation. A proper Michael Scott comment.
Sad
lowest pension in europe but dont pay for vitually anything. travel? free. accommodation? housing benefit. prescriptions, council tax, tv licence, psr? the elderly, who had more opportunity than any generation before or since, get enough already. stop giving them more at our expense
People in different time zones forget or don't know this is not live.
Yes i hate being called a baby bloomer i an 63 years old. Always been in low paid work as an skilled shoe repair. But change to an HGV and DRIVER and pay is still low in Lincolnshire. Due to being made redundant at 57 my old work pension is halfed. Yes my mortgage is paid. But retire until i an 66 years of age. By then will have worked 50 years. So will be lucky to live to 80 years of age.
I just turned 34, I think pensioners should be protected. I also have zero belief or hope that I'll have any chance of retiring. I doubt I'll live to a retirement age. The way costs and pay are drifting apart. I don't think I'll be alive much longer.

Hypothetically if you were assaulted by a member of a group in which the police were dancing to do you believe that when the drop the case you would not perceive it as them bowing to the cause.
@@greamespens1460 unless you're talking about what you would do, what's with all the hypotheticals?
@@lloydherbert007 I do not understand your point. My point is that if you were to see a police officer friendly with someone that you despise (LBGT or BLM or EDL or antivax etc) and you make an allegation against that person and the police fails to investigate what would your initial thoughts be?
What James doesn't understand is that a) there's a huge contrast between rich and poor WITHIN pensioners, long term ill, welfare mums etc and b) loads of people who rant about immigrants are generally left on topics like NHS, tax etc.
The narrative on immigrants comes from the top, paid for and pushed by the wealthy right, via newspapers such as The Sun and Daily Mail, and dedicated channels such as GBNews. He is well aware of this, he's mentioned it more times than I can remember. It's you that does not understand!
People like James O’Brien are more than happy for us to continue to spend £5m per day on housing illegal immigrants, almost all young males incidentally, than look after our elderly and increase funds into those areas that need it. His grasp of simple macroeconomics is pathetic.
That’s a lie mate it’s 58% male with 10-20% being children as we understand that in our country. More to the point if I needed to flee the country in a rush I would rather I take the dangerous route and then after claiming asylum and saving up enough for their flights have my family take a safe route. (There are no safe route for most of the world bar Ukrainians and Taiwanese.)

What Wen china throws threats and Russia Putin to our country protect the borders and choose who side your really on this country or the opposite
Objecting to police officers dancing = a problem with police officers being nice to black people. Meanwhile 90%+ crimes are unsolved
I’m sure the dancing hinders crime solving… 🙄
@starforce1003 it still doesn't automatically mean people have a problem with police officers being nice to black people 🙄🙄 far fetched narrative
@@abbiejade1536 what’s your objection ?
Alright, back to it.
Now, at first blush, Debbie comes across as a bit vague and wishy-washy in what she's saying. However, as someone who has worn a uniform (military, not police), I can sort of understand what it is she's trying to get at, though I may not agree entirely with her point of view.
While yes, there is a hearts and minds campaign to be won with the common people, there also needs to be a perception by the general public that these public authority figures stand ready to do their job.
There is a vast difference between stand to, and at liberty, encompassing several other orders commonly given on a parade ground. From what I'm understanding, Debbie prefers her police to be closer to standing to, which is to say, ready to respond immediately to a threat, rather than acting as if they are at liberty, which is to say, free to engage with anything they wish, ostensibly off-duty.
As they are in uniform at these events, I somewhat agree that acting at liberty is probably not appropriate, but stood easy (a little less formal than stood at attention, and a lot less attentive to threats than stood ready, while more formal and organized than at liberty) is probably acceptable in those less formal occasions. Stand to, for me, is something that really should only be used on the battleground/during an immediate threat, so the expectation of standing to would be inappropriate too, and standing at attention is far too formal and unnecessary for anything other than solemn official functions, the sort of thing where one would have their dress rather than duty uniform on, and quite frankly a position one shouldn't expect soldiers nor police to hold for many hours consecutively, as it's very physically draining to stand like that for hours on end.
Boomers : the babyboom was the year after the WO2 ended. The war was so deeply scary that people did not dare to have children. After - and specifically during- liberationday everyone at the same time decided to have children. Demographically there is this enormous amount of people of the same age, born between 1946 and 1948. which produces a boom in the graphical line.
In reality the people born just before the war are the most privileged and there were relatively little of them. The received the best education for free and they were given the task to built the country back up again. Jobs for them everywhere and subsequently all the promotions went to them. They became the richest. They bought their house for 5K. They profited the most of everything during their life. Politics has destorted the facts.
With the babyboom of 1946-1948 all places were filled, and directly after the babyboom, born after 1948 all placed were occupied, no place for you anymore.
The prosperity after the war came from the economic developments, nothing to do with the babyboom. It is just the word 'boomers' , it sounds catchy, but as proven here: nobody knows what we are talking about.

To answer your title, ''why not both?''
I do not trust the sort of men who murdered Sarah Everard. And I also do not trust the coppers who were dancing at Extinction Rebellion marches or stood by when statues were toppled into the drink. The breakdown of trust between police and civilian is far more complicated than just one cute soundbite.
Also, dont forget, while the coppers were dancing at the Notting Hill carnival instead of doing their jobs, 8 people ended up being stabbed, they had machetes.... the police have a terrible focus on things.

This guy so annoys me! he would call white OAP privileged!
When James talks about white privilege he is saying we are born with sin that begats guilt.
Nope that is not remotely it. I mean he has explained exactly what he means many times.
I dont like police officers dancing at a carnival that resulted in 8 stabbings, men running wild with machetes and resulting in 275 arrests. Instead of dancing, they should have been doing active police work and potentially someone may not have ended up being stabbed. Please stop straw manning everything as racism, sexism or homphobia.
Bit disingenuous, though, to ignore the fact that engaging positively with communities, especially in areas where the police have particularly bad history, does help.
@django3422 you can do community events, you can arrange times for officers to create or go to local events to improve community relations while also making sure that police officers are doing their job when on duty.
It's really not hard, if you want the police to be there improving relations, why didn't they ask for off duty people as volunteers do go dance with the community? Why did on duty officers who are supposed to be protecting people dancing instead of looking for machete wielding crazies.
There's nothing disingenuous about my comment, just the way you are reading it. If your preference is for police officers to dance and be friends with everyone instead of protecting people that's fine, it's not my preference however. Plus, these people will hate the police the next day, trust me, I know plenty of people who go to the carnivals, they don't like police AT ALL and never will.
@@lzl3lol If they're off-duty, they aren't there as cops. They're civilians. It's important for us to see cops, uniformed cops, as people and members of our society. Not as the militant enforcers of figures like Braverman.
And you'll forgive me if I don't trust your anecdotal "fact" but it's funny to me how you insist that "these people" will apparently never have a positive attitude towards the police no matter what, while at the same time complaining about police doing something to improve attitudes towards them.
Very hard to take you seriously.

That's on a platform that reaches about a million in a country of about sixty seven and a half million. The idea is to discuss further and gain multiple perspectives and become better rounded, better educated individuals in the hope we as the public might go about fixing things ourselves.
