A millionaire, an immigrant and you are sitting at a table with 1000 biscuits on it.
The millionaire snatches 999 of them, turns to you and says "That immigrant is trying to steal your biscuit"
Funny. I always said capitalism is when the masters throw a bone to their dogs and we fight over it like idiots while they feast on actual food. Love the joke, much pithier.
Wealth hoarding in 2021 is more like having 100,000 biscuits and taking 99,999 and than splitting the last one between the billionaire and you, the billionaire blaming the immigrant, and than convincing you to donate your half to the billionaire.
You said exactly what I said but added a few decimals....
Do you feel better?
@@loki2655 one of the biggest problems with the discussion of wealth inequality is not using the right words to describe how large the gap really is.
But yea, I feel better.
Since their are more millionaires in the ruling class than billionaires, I'm closer to the truth than you were, but you go right ahead
What staggers me is that through centuries of betrayal, the British public still trust their rulling class. No wonder they are treated with such contempt.
It's called "democracy", you Idiot. Not all countries have democracy. We are Sooo lucky to have it. Yes, OUR government doesn't always get it right but at least it's OUR BRITISH government. OUR government, vote for by the British public in BRITAIN. Forgien EU governments don't tell us what to do EVER!! My grandparents never tolerated the Nazis ruling Britain in WW2, and us Brexiters won't tolerate the EU ruling Britain now.😁😁👍👍
@Ryan Hall Very well said.
@@wanderer1955 Rule ?
Your ruling class hide behind an air of false respect,question should be how did they get in that position. We should be in a position to dismantle it,taxes introduced to fight wars,not a personal way of getting a fortune,spurious titles and entitlements.!1

A wise man will admit he’s wrong, a fool never will.
Correct there. Wise admit to be Wrong / Unsure. Fools carry on Regardless.
That's why remainers/remoaners just wont accept democracy. A wise man accepts democracy, a fool never will.
An even wiser man will stand back and watch others make mistakes, because it's cheaper that way......

Just described trump.
The basic common denominator about the invention of brexit was, has, is, and will always be: anglo chauvinism and the nostalgia of empire
No truer words spoken. Perfect Syllogism
Indeed. Especially as so many pro-brexit people scream "sovereignty"
you forgot Patriotism.
James, we're not renewing your contract because we are below BAME quotas and you cost too much. Nigel Farrage had to first because he was speaking out and would've caused dischord with those we are forced to employ by laws brought in by foriegners. ...the time will come!
remoaners pretending to be former brexit. propaganda farce forum!
Admitting you've made a mistake and you were wrong is not weakness - it is a sign of growth and strength. People shouldn't be shamed for mistakes they made and learned from
AS long as they have indeed learned from their mistake. Unfortunately, some people just Rinse, and Repeat!
What about their mistakes when it kills someone as in anti-Vaxers?
a mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn from it
I half agree. I do feel they need a strong reminder periodically when their choices have demonstrably affected other people negatively. Without that, they're likely to repeat their stupidity.
You're right; but that's very difficult when we catch so much heat when we make a mistake. The cost of a mistake is often socially high.
Just loved the honesty from Andy there. Nothing wrong when you realise you're wrong and apologise. The issue is when you know you're wrong and still arrogantly stay where you are on that issue.
Thanks. Worst mistake I ever made.
Those who don't learn from history are always bound to repeat it!
Or do something else.
In the information age, ignorance is a choice.
That's necessarily true. The problem is that there is too much information out there, much of it dubious. People need the skills to be critical about what they're reading, which is the real problem.

Just found this show and JOB. Now bingeing. As an American, I don't follow UK politics so closely and didn't realize how close the parallels are. It makes me both heartened and sad to know we are not alone in this Era of divisive politics.
along with conspiracies and outright lies.
James said that if we were in the EU we could resist any changes but we never hear the idea that we could have become more engaged, built up alliances and attempted to instigated changes to policies we were not happy about. Instead we just shouted from the side lines and ended up throwing the baby away with the bath water.
That is exactly what the uk has been doing though. The uk was one of the most influential members concerning legislation and a whole lot of eu legislation was on request of the the uk.

Reasonable conversation obviously not your strong point if you describe people on the other side of a argument as delusional idiots!

I have a friend who was adamant the Treaty of Lisbon was the reason he voted leave....so I read it....and couldn’t find any problem with it...
that is the problem . a lot of peole accept bull as fact.
at least you are qualified to comment.
You took time trouble and effort to educate yourself.
Congrats.
@Andrew Butcher "I have a friend who was adamant the Treaty of Lisbon was the reason he voted leave... so I read it....and couldn’t find any problem with it..." - *Did you ask your friend to point out what issues with the Lisbon Treaty made him wish to leave, specifically? Did you go back to your friend with your findings (once you've read the Treaty yourself)?*
So you read 270 pages of complicated legal documents ?
so many people accuse the EU of things it simply can't do and are, in fact, done by local politics...
As a UK expat living in Spain for the last 20 years, I have been struggling to reconcile my anger at the fact that family and friends back in the UK voted to leave and potentially destroy my life and future here in the EU. Obviously I know that is not the reason they did so, but your phrase ‘contempt for the conmen, compassion for the conned’ has helped me at least to redirect my anger not at my loved ones, but towards those who perpetrated the lies on which they based their decision.
You're living in your preferred system. Kindly focus on your own country and not on ours, thanks.
@@ringtail1410 I am, now that all my Spanish paperwork is complete, I am no longer at the mercy of decisions that will affect my life made thousands of miles away. However, until that moment, of course I had to have a very vested interest in the outcomes of those decisions that could have meant the difference between being able to continue to live here, or uproot myself and start my life again in the UK from nothing. Also, just because I no longer live in the UK does not mean I don't feel kinship for, or care for my family and friends there - my brexit uncertainty story has at least been a short one, their plight will likely take a lot longer to resolve. Thankyou for your concern, though!

I work in construction. And I can tell you we have so many jobs and no men to do it. Between COVID and brexit. No one is coming to uk anymore in droves like they were and the industries are struggling because of it. Soon no one will be wanting to rent or buy these apartments I’m working on on a daily basis. Before brexit we never had shortage of men. Restaurants can’t get staff. It’s crazy that their is so much work available and no one to do it.
But aren't all the brexiteers ready to step up to the plate and fill all the jobs? I thought that that was what it was about. Jobs for Britains. Get out there lads. Pick fruit, drive trucks, pound nails. Bend your backs for British sovereignty.
Yes you have, all the. Brexiteers there vote for leave. Let them work in the production industry and farms and construction, after there came back from there work
The Witch buggered up apprenticeships that's why we have no home grown workers. My son studied carpentry and joinery for 3 years, got a distinction and could he get taken on by a construction firm? No chance. So look to yourself mate and your industry.
Well you can always work yourself, if possibly with the wages you were paying the Poles....
@@stephenreeds3632 Carpentry and joinery? It's tough. Most of the jobs are for the relatively unskilled. It's very hard too if one specializes instead of taking anything and everything. Being in America, I don't know your industry that well, but over here to make a decent living one has to be in the Union, and most of the people who get in are sons of union members, and there is constant pressure to under cut the unions and force them to shrink. I did contracting over here for 15 years before I gave it up. I loved it, but the money just wasn't worth it in the end, though if I had bid all the jobs 5% higher I could have left with something worthwhile.
The trouble is we are wired for instant gratification and, unfortunately, the truth is dull.
I've just popped in to see how wrong these pr*cks were after last weeks GE. Great
We should have had another actual referendum, you can't say much based on the election, there was a lot more to it than brexit. But you would never have wanted to properly consult people again, I'm sure.
What's a prack?
yeah, lost the popular vote didn't you?
‘I’ve just popped in to see’ how the current anti European Government are coping with a pandemic compared to other European country’s.
I looked at voting for leave, watched the various propaganda films and ultimately decided to vote remain. Many friends of mine voted leave and i feel that they have been.hoodwinked. I actually felt that we are a smaller place for leaving the eu.
But it was a delusion that we were bigger than we thought and could do better that led some to think leaving would be brilliant for us. And now we know how much of our strength and success was due to us being part of the most economically advanced and successful trading bloc on Earth. We are now looking at 10 years of decline, if not longer, until we return to the EU.

Ask the 200 hundred welders and construction workers who were contracted to work at Drax Power Station who were just sacked after a dispute about working conditions and then replaced by the Italian contractor with 200 Italians and all legal under EU law which the British Government couldn't do anything to stop - I guess that didn't endear the EU to their families and their communities.

I studied a bit european law when I started my studies in University. I realized that most of people do not understand what does it imply to be part of EU and not. What does it means to have the right to deal with Common Market what deals had been done for that. UK learnt that the hard way. The fact that people who know play with that in Politics is absolutely disgusting. They play with the ignorance of people.

There are two important themes: 1) People do not know how to research facts on internet. they are likely to look for what they believe until they find one who claims the same. It happens through all political wings and all social standards. f.e. I once saw a video claiming total nonsense. And it wasn't even well researched. While there are a ton of trustable videos claiming something else you could find a lot of comments like "OMG i didn't know", "OMG, thank you for telling me, nobody else told me" .... So basically they see literally one person claiming something and believe it immediately . 2) Again in all political wings, media and all social standards people are boxed into groups like gender, race, political wings, nationality, wealth..... defining some groups as good and the others as bad. But they are not boxed by their characters. Idiots can be rich or poor, immigrants or not, black or white, men or women, and the nicest people you can find in all of those groups too. we should start treating people by their character and not by which groups they represent.
Your first point applies very well to conspiracy theory. There's the allure of some sort of knowledge that few people have or that is somehow hidden. When instead it's just lies and deception. But people will buy it without question and regurgitate it without hesitation
Couldn't agree more! You're clearly a sane empathetic intelligent person, thank goodness there are some 👍👍
They forgot royal Britain doesn't rule the waves anymore
I'm an expat, originally from London who now lives in New Zealand. It saddens me to see what's happened to Britain. I was not eligible to vote but like Owen Wilson, on balance I would have wished for Britain to remain in the EU. Even though it is a neoliberal project.
Emigrant....
And scotland has lots of filipino nurses, I am scottish and I love these people I have lived amongst them in the philippines
My girlfriend is Hungarian and we actually met in scotland so I definitely do not want brexit, however I'd like to reassure you that it should not affect phillipino workers as the Philippines is not in the EU. That being said there are lots of European workers in Scotland and it could be an issue

Why are so many working class people unable to recognise the simple evident fact that the Tories are their enemies?
I feel like it’s become such an emotional issue now that quite a few leave voters would rather claim some kind of victory over the 2016 result than consider what’s actually in their interest
That's called cutting your nose off to spite your face. Even though the leave campaign was all lies, which now has been proved, they would still vote leave again just to safe face, if we had another referendum. I find this whole debacle so depressing.

I agree with people who get annoyed with James’s patronising responses on occasions but he talks a lot of sense as we will find out to our cost.
@Gele Someone can still be patronising, even though you don't let yourself be patronised, surely.
However you reply to an idiot comes across as patronising.
I've never seen him do that to anyone with a sentient argument. It's weird that you think people who don't know what they're talking about deserve to be heard as much as others. Entirely weird.
I think he shows remarkable patience. Some of his shows have utter idiots phoning in (not this one, so much) and he does his best to educate them. Is that regarded as patronizing?
I don’t think it is patronising to be straight with people who either spread lies and propaganda or are too lazy to search the truth on important issues

Listening to the second caller: there was a housing crisis in 1998, 6 years before the EU expanded. Successive Governments failed to do anything.

@@leevweleevwe4813 You need to check your facts - 43% of EEA nationals claimed in or out of work benefits in 2015 according to David Cameron.

Does that include all the conned remain voters who believed George Osbourne's ridiculous forecast for the economy in the event of a leave referendum win?
@@lynx-7190 unfortunately, due to the timing of Covid and our official departure from the EU, its going to be extremely difficult to prove which is responsible for our impending economic downturn; but as a business owner who voted to Remain, the enormous tariffs I'm now paying for goods from EU member states suggests there might be some truth in it. Not to mention the tariffs for goods from countries the EU states have trade deals with that we no longer benefit from...that are likely to take years to negotiate a replacement, and as we don't have the same bargaining power as the EU, are unlikely to ever hold a torch to them.
Do you feel vindicated? I hope so.
@@GetGwapThisYear I was referring to George Osbourne's predictions that in the hours and days after a leave referendum win, there would be a shock to the economy , 500,000 job losses, housing market crash, recession and much more which as we know did not happen. I'm not sure why as a business owner you are paying enormous tariffs on EU goods as the UK has a tariff free, quota free, trade deal with the EU from 1/1/2021. I feel vindicated because businesses will recover from the complications of exiting the EU, but more importantly the end of freedom of movement will also end the exploitation of low paid workers, many of them EU nationals themselves. Also the UK has already secured trade deals with over 58 countries.
Don’t leave voters who have realized they were conned, have an obligation to mobilize themselves, come together (The Lied to Alliance?) and present themselves to the government to shame the very people who misled them? It’s great that they’re sorry, but its not going to radically change public opinion without a gesture to make all leavers sit up & reflect on their decision
Haha Brexiteers are being so angry in the comments, keep it going James
You are a tool.
"If we remain, we lose our veto!" - besides the fact that it wasn't true, you DEFINITELY lost your veto by leaving....
I wish the leavers did research BEFORE voting rather than after. Then we wouldn't be in this mess
I wish the Remainers would be Pro-UK and not Pro-EU.
If you put the effort you put into complaining about Leavers into supporting this country we'd be in a much better situation.
Also, our situation compared to the EU is far better. So I don't understand your issue here.
You don't find it odd that the UK who left the EU have the 4th highest roll out of Vaccine compared to ALL EU Member States, and you expect me to believe the EU have no part in that? Come on.
@@generaLRager What are you talking about? So you are saying "remainers aren't pro UK" ...based on what exactly? XD
@@hakanozaslan9571 "we need the EU to survive", "we are just a tiny island, we aren't an empire anymore", "who will we trade with", "once we leave the EU we'll be on our own", "the EU makes us who we are today", without the EU we will fade to a non-nation"
Those are just some of the quotes and statements made from pro-remain people that I've seen on TV, Media, Shows etc.
You tell me are those the statements of people who believe in the UK and its people? Sure doesn't sound like it to me.
We have countless morons at present protesting and trying their hardest to erase our history, the very thing that brought us to where we are now, and where we brought the rest of the world along with us.
@@generaLRager many small countries do very well and much better outside of the EU. It all depends on how well our politicians perform . A smaller country should be able to perform better, react quicker and do taxes etc in better detail to enable a higher performing nation.
@@generaLRager I believe those are statements from people who understand that the UK being a part of the EU is mutually beneficial to both the UK and the EU and that the UK leaving the EU leaves the UK in a weaker position economically and politically.
The foolish EU needs restructuring on immigration.
Keep going James we can do it with your help!
I've just retired from construction bricklayer stone Mason.. 50yrs and never found a problem with foreigners taking our jobs..
Probably because the quality of your work spoke for itself, negating any possible threat of being replaced.
Fake news.
It's not news it's a radio phone in, there not the same thing my friend ;)
Have you always been a dunce?
We were fooled.
People still believe the government would leave such an important decision as to leave the EU upto a vote 😂😂😂 are you all serious ?
The decision to leave the EU was made long before the referendum !!
And not by our government but by our rulers ...
All the Audi , bmw ,vw, mini , Vauxhall , Honda , Nissan , Toyota , Jaguar buyers hope you are looking forward to increased prices , sorry forgot about Bentley, Rolls-Royce , Lotus and maybe some more . Ps the only car industry we have depends on these
"I know I'm right, because to the best of my knowledge I've never been wrong" (Yossarian, Catch 22,Joseph Heller)
For the wrong reasons. If uk wants to come back to Europe should be based on desire for integration not because of money.
A second referendum should have been on the table. Now, I think it is too late. I suppose the EU citizens were shocked with the result of the referendum and for fairy tales. At least in my country we were but after a while we moved on. In a certain way, UK turned the EU stronger and United. In a global and interdependent world we are living in, why fight to be alone and the Uk had a priviledged position within the EU. It is really beyond my understanding. The irresponsible politicians should be blamed for misleading people with fake assumptions. All the best, British friends.
U can have my job, my money, my women, but u canae have our BISCUITS.
FREEDOM!
Or as I call them, Regrexiteers.
lol not yet wess
Lool let's not try and insult them. It'll push them further away.
@@hamsatd too late for that, 47 years of common market and EU membership didnt do diddly squat for normal working class people in the uk ,,J OBrien is a top 1%er -rich well educated ,london centric and deeply socialist,,what possible contribution could he make to change my thinking or opinion,,millionaire political commentators are 2 a penny ,,he has always seemed a strange person to carry the rallying cry for the EU. not supposing his job will be vacuumed up by our european imported labour workforce any time soon,,

lol classic!
So an "academic"from Cambridge is the fount of all wisdom is he? Isn't his wisdom why we all in this mess in the first place?
It's funny to look back on these videos and see how silly people were being.
More than 50% ot the British 😀
@Raphael Sainte-Claire "see how silly people were" - *Sorry, "were"?! Have they stopped being silly now, you reckon?*
@@nicadi2005 do you see anyone making up fairy tales about what would happen to us if we left anymore?
And did any of the horror stories come true?
@@raphaelsainte-claire4861 "do you see anyone making up fairy tales about what would happen to us if we left anymore?" - What "fairy tales" are you referring to, specifically?
"And did any of the horror stories come true?" - Same question: What "horror story" exactly do you have in mind?
@@nicadi2005 there was the immediate worst recession in history that never happened.
Then there was leaving with no deal on WTO terms that never happened.
There was the whole "Boris doesnt want a deal", which wasnt the case.
There was also the "Boris cant get a deal", which wasnt the case.
There was the huge increase in the price of food, which hasnt happened.
etc, etc.
Contempt for the conmen, contempt for the conned.
People always have to learn the hard way. To bad their choices have made others suffer as well.
Sick n tired of people telling those of us who want to leave the Eu, that we were conned, misled like ignorant fools.
Another reason they spread lies on social media is because it gets their posts lots of likes, lots of follows, etc and then from that they can make money through advertisements or by renaming the page and selling it to someone that will use it for something else entirely such as selling a product.
If someone said to me before the referendum that the immigrants were going to 'steal my biscuits' I might have been convinced to vote leave! No one touches my Bourbons!
They've nicked all mine though!!
Your Bourbons are safe, but you may find that they, like Mars products have themselves come from Poland.
@@alexveldhuis6004 Wait... we were stealing their biscuits all along? The plot thickens...
@@ramonalavigne5508 The plot being that British business does not give a hoot about the British working class, happily transferring production to wherever they can find cheaper labour and may even get an EU grant for providing work opportunities in a populated under developed area. That is not an EU fault, that is capitalism at work. But we seem to be fighting over whether the capitalism market economy should be left unrestricted or controlled. The clear outcomes for them is that one benefits many but not all and the other aims to benefit all of society. It always seems that those with the most are least prepared to share. Human nature; what is it?
@Alex Veldhuis YES!!!!
Regretting stupidity. For the hundreth time.
people have been duped. lots of gullible people around who believed without question what boris johnson said.
A significant number of MPs have conned their constituents! They also allowed Greece to become a broken state with a self interested agenda!
Greece was a failed state for two centuries.
How did it go ? 😂😂😂😂
Not their biscuits!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would be a comedy if it weren't a tragedy... the thing that even if they vote now to remanin, the EU would not accept them back.
