Second CZcams Channel - Past Tense of Banana (English Leaning Videos) - / @pasttenseofbanana
This video made me very emotional. I am here in the UK and my gut feeling is its going down hill and fast. Things are hard even when your earning good money. Socially things are in turmoil, youth seem hopeless and lazy, adults negative and brainwashed by the media. Lots of elderly people just wondering around. My husband and I have been talking about moving to Morocco for a few years now, this video is just another shove in that direction. We are visiting Morocco over the Christmas period to check out the situation on the groud as it were.....I'm hoping to get good vibes. Please keep these videos coming. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. I know what you mean about the UK. It's not a place to flourish. I have become more successful and more happy since leaving the UK. As you are thinking of moving, can I suggest two other videos on my channel? One is "Why I Left The UK" czcams.com/video/QsTK8iPRHdY/video.html and "Why I Live In Morocco" czcams.com/video/mhgoDdvFG9w/video.html
@@GariSullivan thank you. Its been almost 5 years since we have been to Morocco so I'm interested to see the difference. We are flying in to Tangier which had so much construction going on when we were there last time so hopefully will see some progress although I'm guessing covid put a hold on some stuff. Have you done any videos on how Morocco is recovering from covid? I'm so pleased to see restrictions are gone, we waited patiently for things to change. Thanks.
@@TORROXservices My channel really became successful because of my covid videos. I stopped making them at the end of 2021, because no one has been interested in Covid in Morocco for well over a year.
My final video was "Morocco and The Covid World Cup". Here's the playlist of my Covid videos in Morocco. czcams.com/play/PLhxR4IJztchCWxpUNbBYa-6a7l_8d_Vcy.html
More of this sir I see that you are the only speaker of the British Moroccan relationship with need more of this thank you
Thanks for your comment. If you have any aspect of Morocco/UK would like me to compare, let me know. I am always open to new ideas.
Thank you very much for this sleek and interesting video. I've lived in the UK for 24 years and I've always been interested in world politics and current affairs. What happened politically in the UK over < at least > the last 3 years, is truly mind blowing and redefines the true meaning of Politics and Democracy!...I'm originally from Morocco, where I studied at university in the 90's and I agree with your opinion about what Morocco has been doing economically and socially over the last 2 decades. I just came back from Morocco and I've seen The Change.
What is happening in the UK is very sad, but it is of its own doing. For decades, it has under-valued its people. I am not surprised you have seen the change in Morocco. I plan to go back to the UK soon for a holiday. I hope I am not too disappointed at what I see there.
@@GariSullivan Hello Mr GARI . can you give the name of the music in the back ground of video please. and thank you for this amazing vision of thing between UK and Morocco :-)
Again a great video Mr. Gari Sullivan..we've been waiting for a long long time
I know. It takes me a long time to make great videos :D
i never thought i could ever hear this phrase '' giving Morocco plenty of time to catch up and overtake the united kingdom''
As always excellent well researched thought provoking video. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. I do a lot of research in my videos. It can take some time to get all the information together. Right now I am researching two topics: Gun laws in the UK and Morocco and How each nation is handling its immigration problem. I am not sure either video will be ready soon.
Morocco and UK unite now! :D bright future my friend!
They are certainly becoming closer friends. I think the spread of English in Morocco is helping the friendship grow.
Gari, Britain will surpass this crisis, as you know, the whole world is in a bad situation
It is true that Britain will improve, but it never seems to get back to the levels it enjoyed in the past.
ان شاء الله الازدهار للمغرب و بريطانيا من جديد
سيد غاري دمت متألق ناجح تحياتي لكم استاذتي الغالية الفاضلة أرجوا لكم النجاح والتوفيق و التألق
Thank you for this video, Gari. But l'm afraid you sound a bit hyperbolic. It's not over (yet) for the UK, and the whole thing could ultimately turn out to be just a blip. After all the whole world is facing hard times. As for Morocco, I wish you were right. True, big things have been done but my country still has a long way to go especially on health and education before it can hope to reach the UK, let alone surpass it.
If it is a blip, it's the longest blip in history. I am old enough to remember and enjoy the 1980s. It was a party decade when Maggie Thatcher threw away all the money we made from the early days of oil in the North Sea. (Look at what Norway did by comparison) Since then, the UK has been going down. Under-funding health, schools, and local for decades. Now we are facing even more cuts.
It's true Morocco has a long to go, but at least it is travelling in the right direction. It may be another 25-30 years, but imagine how much further the UK will fall in that time. By about 2050, Morocco and the UK will be almost equal.
Great video, Gary. I have been watching some of your videos for a while. Do you have an insight on farm life in Morocco, at least from a safety perspective? Many thanks.
@EihabFitness it appears that you are from arab origins and you still ask this kind of questions well as my own experience yes it's safe even in the desert or mountain, safer than where ever you come from and the UK itself
While the people forget that freedom, democracy and success were hard fought for and are not a natural state of things but rather an ongoing struggle.
I am disapointed to see that the young people of Morocco don't even believe in this Utopia anymore.
I remember asking a few teenagers about the Arab Spring - something that happened only a decade earlier - and yet they knew so very little about it; particularly the freedoms it brought the young people of today.
@@GariSullivanwe kinda view it as a mistake that we wish would have never happened
I think Morocco can be the best Contry in Africa
But the corruptions is the key, there internal corruption and external corruption such as western countries prohibited top research like we can’t invent vaccines, weapons …..etc
Now, why still Morocco surviving in lieu should be like Venezuela, the secret is the Islam that give people strength to live socially without government support
Very true
It’s the opposite that help a nation to grow and be attractive to foreign capital. It’s not increasing corporate taxation as it is suggesting. It’s very simplistic just justify this as the cause of the growth of nation. Specially one that depends a lot on natural resources. 🤨 Ireland, Singapore just to name a few
35 years in the UK and still can't understand why the future of a political party is more important than the future of the country ???!!!. PS, Morocco could have been in better position it it was not for the previous colonial powers and a noisy neighbour..
Specially those noisy neighbors ( algeria, spain and Mauritania) morocco is surrounded by all of them
Morocco always played in hard difficulty
I can't understand why the people in the UK are calling for a general election, but not calling for a change in the political law and structure to stop something like this happening again.
@@GariSullivan the problem with the western (democracies) that they use the ballot boxes to get votes and end up working for the big brother, my biggest dispointement is electing Tony Blair who looked like a descent man and ended up being a killer shark
@@rashidhackney2431 I could not agree with you more when it comes to Blair. The one thing he managed to do was unite the country.
When it came to Thatcher, you either loved her or hated her. With Blair, there is no room for debate.
The british need a new Cromwell, but before that they need another Hobbes.
My favourite word to throw into current political comments, fallacious.
Like you I have been away from the UK for 10 years.
I am just coming up to my tenth year of continuous absence from the UK. Prior to this decade, I've lived in Spain, Turkey, Australia and Syria (before and during the war)
Well Mr Gary, no country is perfect, but for sure Morocco is not as developed as the UK.
True. It's not as developed, but it's going in the right direction, unlike the UK; it's declining
it is 2023 and Morocco are still poor and people suffer from extreme poverty. Some Moroccans can not even afford to buy one potatoes . I wonder what wealth were you referring to. the poverty line in Morocco is set at approximately 2 US dollars a day, which means that anyone living under 2 dollars is poor and those who earn 2 dollar or over a day are not. But, If you were given 4 or even 5 dollars a day, you would not be able to cover you living expense for a day. in term of education, Morocco improve only the education in private schools, and the state schools lack educators, classes, tables and many other important things. If Morocco really had a good education, you would not find professors and teachers protesting before Parliament. You should visit morocco yourself and see people eating from recycle bin, other sleeping on the street and those who die because of starvation.
thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to write a long, detailed response to it.
I agree with you when you say "Morocco is still poor and people suffer from extreme poverty" In my video, I am not saying that Morocco is perfect. What I was trying to express is that Morocco is moving forward. It values things such as public services. In the UK, the government is cutting back on the important things. Our schools and hospitals are literally crumbling.
When I speak with Moroccans about the next ten/twenty years, they are very positive. You get the opposite reaction when you talks to the British about their country.
Finally, I try to point out that Morocco knows it has work to do. You are right that it's education, welfare and health systems need massive improvement. Morocco sees that truth. The UK also needs to invest in its public services, but it cannot admit it is that the greatest country on Earth. The UK doesn't have the courage and honesty to admit it needs to improve. Morocco has that honesty. Maybe that is the most important lesson of all that Morocco can teach the UK.
Everywhere turned to crazy , scary
It's true that things ae bad for many countries, but for the UK things looks VERY economically scary.
@@GariSullivan I watched few videos about how people has started to attack shops it's terrifying for such a great country
In my opinion, the conservative party gonna do better than the labor party.
They just need time
They've had 12 years. How much more time do you think we should give them?
Even if Morocco becomes the richest country in the world I'll still leave and never set foot here again
To be honest with you I don't wanna live in this conservative backward society
I wonder how rich Morocco gets and still be a "conservative backward" society.
@@GariSullivan Probably like Qatar and Kuwait
I see you want to explore your desires, well the west is perfect for that, nothing conservative left there.
