      ​@@abrahamblankfein5042 There is no reason for there to be an inpoverished class of people, none. It's not a necessity for certain jobs to get done, it's not a necessity to power our cities, nor defend them. It's not even a necessity for there to be millionaires or even billionaires. There is not excuse for poverty, particularly within the borders of developed countries. Do you understand how much surplus food is DESTROYED every week in the UK alone? I used to work with a company that redistributed surplus food to those in need from the few supermarkets that permitted it. The numbers were staggering. Bear in mind that the supermarkets also benefit from this arrangement through PR and tax cuts, and even then they only allow this for a percentage of the viable produce that would otherwise be destroyed.
      No short percentage of the megarich oppose helping the poor, or even middle class solely because the class contrast makes them feel more important. It's a sickness that has infested humanity for as long as wealth has existed. The concept of the "lawn" at the front of a house was originally simply wasted land. The intent was to show off. Look at this fertile land that I have built no home or establishment on, look at this land that has no crops, this land that is making me no money. Look how much of it I have. I have so much money, that I can afford a space of nothingness that holds a lot of value, yet produces none.
      Financial equality isn't even a goal. I don't agree that if it was achieved that people would stop working, or not work certain jobs, or stop innovating. I don't subscribe to the notion that this would happen, but regardless that is so far outside of our current experience to even be worth discussion right now. Instead, what is important is the degree of inequality. There is more than enough wealth food and resources in the world, and especially in these developed countries to house everyone, feed everyone, power everyone, and provide healthcare for everyone. I don't have an issue with the existence of the wealthy, I have a problem with the existence of poverty, especially mandated and emboldened systematic poverty. The problem is class mentality, and the degree of economic division. Not the mere existence of it.

      There's a saying here in Glasgow for just that. If someone is being passive aggressive, or "at it", as we would say, then the response is usually,
      "Och, turn it up, ya cunt."
      "Turn it up," being broadly equivalent to, "give it a rest."
      So it sorts of means behave, stop being ridiculous, be real. It's one of my favourite sayings.

While an English person it could be split, they might very well call themselves British over English.

      @jackc913 Před rokem +2

      Rule of law doesn't just mean laws. It's a specific political philosophy that (to simplify), the law applies universally and equally. And Britain didn't exactly invent it, but did sort of introduce it to Europe with the Magna Carta. So I actually think it's semi-reasonable to claim that rule of law is a British value.
      Also you're being a bit unfair anyway because they aren't claiming it's an *exclusively* British value.

    • @tehrealfake
      @tehrealfake Před rokem +2

      ​@@jackc913 There's no academic reason to package this stuff under 'British values.' Innovations have been made to these 'values' in many parts of the world both before and after our own, so it's not a historical approach. Incidentally the Magna Carta was written before Great Britain existed. If it's meant to be a moral education, there's no reason to mention our nation, your nation does not need to affect the way you act as an individual.
      By process of elimination the only reason to teach that these are 'British values' is to indoctrinate children with a national spirit. It's to make peoples subconsciously assume that Britain is and has always been the centre of the world. A fraction of the population will eventually learn through higher education that this is total BS, and that calling 'rule of law' a British value, is as good as saying 'breathing' is. A larger portion will largely never have this bias corrected because they simply stop learning about history, geography, science and watch Love Island for the rest of their days instead.

    • @dontnoable
      @dontnoable Před rokem

      I suppose the Brits did invent the world's first police force. As far as I remember, within about 10 years of the Peterloo massacre. It was in response to factory owners fearing for their private property (looms) getting wrecked by the angry poor, who were living working and dying in poor conditions. Sending the military in to gun cunts down was likely gonna lead to escalated riots. So they made the police, to control crowds of poor people and to protect private property. When police constables first walked the streets of London, they'd get attacked by ordinary people, even kids would try trip them up. They were unpopular and mistrusted. True story.

    I think it's a desperate attempt to gain cultural real-estate after seeing all the memes about "Iconic Britishness" from shows like Come Dine with Me, Bake Off, and The Inbetweeners, etc. The scary thing is - who decided what's inherently a British value and what's not? Sounds like deliberately vague stipulation of media and press imo.

    Britain is a bit of a weird place culturally. It takes a lot more from US culture than it does from Europe. I suppose sharing a language is a big factor. That brings its own problems, such as people calling a TV series a season etc. Culture should be protected, but not using vague undetermined terms like British values.
    Things move towards the internet culture where something's origin is less important, I'm sure that will be an all encompassing influence by the next generation.

    It might not seem this way to some, but I view this as legislation designed to institutionalise British soft power. In the same way US TV/Film affects our culture, Britain aims to (continue to) export its own ideologies and cultural values to countries abroad.
    Take The Office as an example. Following its success, it was remade in numerous countries globally. The significance? The exportation of capitalist systems, and Western culture.
