I have never seen any change in anything after over 45 years of paying taxes I'm now 59, joined the Army at 16. Nothing has changed everything has become worse, BREXIT was the final nail in the coffin. I left the UK afterwards, I lived in Europe and the Balkans a lot whilst in employment. I have left permanently, the country is done.
It was a staggering success😂😂
Worse? Worse than before or Worse than ukkkcraiiine?
Been taken over as well
Germany's economy is in a horrible state as is several other EU sates, Would you rather the UK was with them, The UK left the EU because it wanted it's sovereignty back and didn't want to be run by a load of PARASITE bureaucrats.
brexit hasnt even started we had covid and then the ukranian war
Im not a particularly intelligent person, not political in any way but because I didnt know what was going to happen and it didnt appear that anyone did, I felt the safest option was to vote to remain. If its one thing Brexit has helped me realise its that the 'problem' isnt 'them' its 'us', and now were not part of the EU it feels like as a country we're now looking around for another countries to blame for our woes (like we used to) only there is noone to blame for the shambles we're in, other than ourselves. EU was never the problem.
Sorry Mark. A lot of us knew exactly what was going to happen. And it did. not a complete disaster but a step downwards in almost all aspects of life. From food costs to simple customs arrangements.
And where is the control of our borders?
An illusion.
Nonsense clearly the Welsh are to blame.
So the governments covid response has nothing to do with our current woes? Plenty of countries are in the same boat!
@@blueknight3943 Covid is responsible for the woes. As you say, plenty of countries are in the same boat, but those other countries have the means to row that boat ashore.. Britain is adrift. You got the double whammy.. A pandemic plus abject ineptitude during and after.
To be fair we had this approach of leaving Europe and the common market for over 40 years
Now we left we’re now thinking it would been better to stay.
The Tories want to exit the building before it burns down, so they can blame it on Labour.
Peace!

Political memories are very short. Labour has been responsible for some of the worst governance in British history. It was a Labour politician that left the note "Sorry, there's no money left" when voted out.
@@EndertheWeek
Whatabout much?
Regardless, if the economy and the general well being turn around the Tories will take the credit and if it turns sour, they will blame Labour when they take power.
The difference between you and I is that at least I acknowledge that both political parties would do the same thing.
The guy in the first half had it: Big simple slogans. No need to wade through minutiae or be wracked with indecision, read a bus and blindly believe in Great Britain.
You keep telling yourself that if it helps you get to sleep and not cry. 17m people would undoubtably be a wide cross section of society.
Still triggered by the bus, eh?
@@EndertheWeek 17m people in 2016, many of them not around anymore, was less than 25% of the population, a minority unless you not only make decisions on "alternative facts" but also on "alternative maths"
@@brigold3352 It was over half the VOTING population and that's how democracy works you fool. Bold of you to assume that it was old voters who voted Leave and all of the new voters would vote Remain. And you still don't get it - EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion despite it not being the same as yours. Thank you for the laugh though - "Alternative facts" ? You can have alternative opinions but facts are facts whether you like them or not.
The tax cut given out now will explode the deficit that will be blamed on Labor when they take power. They will be told they can't fix anything because of the debt, of course caused by their tax cut.
Caused by Labour support rrrmeain and the lokkdown.
'The less intelligent were more likely to back Brexit' - not a controlversial topic at all James, ha ha.
He should have just said the thickest people in our country
Na, the thickos let tony Blair tell them the f00rthr31ch was a trading body🤣🤣🤣
How do you feel now remmiiine has been an absolute failure?
Honor amongst thieves,
Is an old saying But honor amongst politicians is the question I would like answered 😂
A lot of less astute people tend to think simple solutions are the way forward because they just dont understand the complexities and nuance involved. You get people saying "just leave" as if you can leave a complex trading bloc without doing any prep. They thought brexit could be achieved quickly, as if its like walking out of a building. You get the same simple solutions to lots of subjects. It leads to seeing things in absolutes, and that can lead to extremism.
The South get hs2 the North will get the lions share of immigrants. Working class towns seeing all the downsides. The more intelligent people of privilege see all the benefits. If you have a second home in France or Spain or spend most of the year in Europe on holiday and living in an expensive area that is completely unchanged will vote differently to people living in working class towns that have changed out of all recognition competing for work and houses with cheap foreign workers and immigrants with people sleeping in dorways . Thick people can't understand the link between money intelligence privilege and the brexit vote . Self interest trumps all

HS2 goes from the north of London into the Midlands. The part to go further North has been cancelled as per any Public project control was lost and expense exploded..
The reason criminal immigrants are being shipped north is because southern areas like E. Kent are flooded with them - a similar situation is like Texas shipping immigrants to Chicago and New York in the hope that a solution will be found.
Brexit has nothing to do with intelligence, as usual those who went to University think they are always right. People like James O'Brien live in their lefty echo chamber and just assume the Brexiteers were right-wing xenophobes. I like in the south, went to university, ran my own company, speak 2 languages etc. etc. and I voted to leave because of the corrupt and useless EU. Britain was the only country that applied the laws and rules - France and Spain regularly overfish whilst British fishermen were unemployed, Germany continues to build coal-fired power plants without sanction etc. etc.
The reason items that never go out of date still have use by dates is because of the packaging. While the product itself won't bio degrade, often the packaging will. For example plastic water bottles have a use by date because that's when the minerals in the water will start to break down the plastic and dissolve it
We've all lost James, but if this continues we'll all lose again and again and again.

'For every problem, a solution exists that is simple, obvious, easily explained and utterly wrong'. I think this explains much about Brexit. People didn't want to hear the complicated arguments (Project Fear!) and listened to the con-artists promoting a simple one.
Erm... nothing bad happened except the totally appalling things from rrr3miane
And something like 8/10 times throughout history that simple, obvious, easily explained and utterly wrong solution demonizes immigrants/foreigners, regardless of what it's the solution to. Humanity is like a broken record.

Brexit vote was just a way of finding out the IQ of People in Britian.
Below 10 for most Brexit voters.
A Brit here living in the Netherlands. We are all in complete shock and disarray here, so don't think for one second that Britain couldn't end up with an ultra right wing PM under proportional representation. As Geert Widers has so chillingly stated: "They cant ignore us anymore".
The rude attacks on our beloved Black Pete these weeks, outsiders agressively destroying our cultural heritage and harming the happiness of our todlers, made many people spontaneously vote for the far right, without further thinking.
...wait and see what Wilders is able to do, and if he gets any collaborators. He may well not be able to enact his controverial policies. Ex-Brit, now a Dutchman......
The press owners are arguably more influential than the politicians when it comes to shifting the Overton Window and making extreme politics more normalised.

As with most political topics you have the working class and those who are out of touch with the things that effect the working class. Throwing insults rather than listening to those concerns is why things built up to brexit in the first place ironically. The fact you and others like you cannot see that and have not learnt from that says more about your intellect than anything else.

I disagree with the title about it being the less intelligent. I believe it is the most gullible, the ones falling for the bs the tories are shovelling
....and any form of anti-Semitism is despicable...totally agree with James!
It was more complex that. It started with the lie that was perpetuated by Ted Heath when he took us into then common market in 1973 without a vote. He promised it was for trade only , not what it morphed into. Heath was worried he might get the answer he wanted with a vote. Treaties were made and signed without consultation with the electorate. Subsequent governments perpetuated the lie.
@@christinefiedor3518ANY changes that came about within the EU would have been voted for BY the member STATES of the EU, which INCLUDED the UK. Many of the rules/regulations set forth by the EU were proposed and brought about BY the UK.

The exchange in this about the tides and the rotation of the earth is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to listen to
education and intelligence are different things but you have to question the intention behind the severe cutbacks in education over the past 13 years
They are, but it's not the last 13 years its decades. There are lots of reasons for this which would involve an essay. My belief is that all of the occupations that used to be called professions have been adulterated to such an extent that their core purpose has been obliterated. One of the most interesting pieces of research I've seen was a graph that showed literacy rates against the introduction of TV (admittedly USA) they literally went off a cliff. I would imagine that social media was responsible for any that was left plus so many other delusional ideas.
how thick are tory voters

Pay increases in nominal terms might sometimes appear to be actual "increases". However, all such figures must be adjusted for inflation because costs of goods and services have been rising at levels which are certainly higher than inflation in some instances and lower in others, but average out according to the CPI basket of goods inflation rate. Where a pay increase after adjustment for inflation is not higher than before, then such an increase is clearly not a real terms pay increase - a person is not better off.
Technically correct - so then go and look at the actual data and then come back

Great show! Thank you for not making Brexiters feel bad. I have have numerous Trump-supporting friends and I try not to make them feel guilty about supporting Fascism.

The more brains you have, the more likely you'd be have and use critical thinking skills, and the less likely you'd be to trust eminent untrustworthy people.

So, serving politicians are now acting as reporters and writers on television and in the papers , and nobody can ask them questions?
"Something will turn up", still hoping the horse will sing.
It is a shame that so many people are not possessed of the ability to employ critical thinking in situations. Some people are extremely gullible or just want to hand over decisions to others in the belief that their chosen ‘team’ are going to do the right thing. That’s why James is right to want to hold these awful lying politicians feet to the fire. We need accountability and trust to return.

I think they will go in May too. They do the tax thing from January (unusually) so people find a couple of pennies in pockets then they go and hope we have forgotten the rest

There should be a cognitive bar before you can vote.
Unfortunately, we have to walk as slow as the slowest person in order to keep our society going.
Neither of the two main parties are fit for purposes, that is the truth of the matter!
I thought cold weather favoured the tories - labour voters don't have coats/cars!
I'm not convinced by the historical precedents because I'm not sure they really apply. Yes, we've seen polls get things wrong, but we've never seen the polls be as drasctically wrong as they'd have to be for the Tories to remain in power. Yes, we've never seen a 65 seat majority over-turned, but we've seen much bigger changes in terms of seat numbers. I also think people are slightly mis-remembering 1997 - we seem to exaggerate the enthusiasm for Blair and forget how despised the Tories were by then. If you'd asked me in 1997 I'd have said I didn't think it was possible for them to be more hated than they were in that moment, but I'd argue that they are indeed more hated now. The Tories couldn't overcome that hatred then, and that was with a relatively strong economy to point to.
Essentially, the caller who knocks on doors for Labour was, understandably, a bit subject to the tendency of people on the left to believe that the Tories have almost unbeatable advantage when it comes to elections. His premise was the the Tory party would run a better - or at least more effective - election campaign than Labour because the myth is out there that they always do. And yet the single most disastrous campaign in my lifetime, pretty much the only occasion when we can look to the campaigns as the definitive explanation for the result, was May's 2017 election. Not enough to sink them (quite) but it took what they thought would be a 50 + majority to a minority. Looking back over campaigns in general, I've seen Labour run better campaigns than the Tories in 1987, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2017 but I'm only confident arguing the reverse was true in 1983, 1992 (and that's debatable), and... maybe 2015. I suppose I have to grudgingly give them 2019, despicable though that campaign might be.
We have to stop thinking the right have magical powers. They are not election-winning juggernauts. Look at the US right now, loads of doom and gloom from the left who are petrified that Trump is some election-winning savant, whereas in truth he's never won the popular vote and the Republicans have performed terribly in every election since 2016. Trump is seen (by both sides) as a king-maker whereas an endorsement from Trump demonstrably makes a candidate less likely to win. When the left is relatively united (it's a pipe dream to expect full unity), and when they are focused on victory, they are fully capable of taking down right-wing parties and candidates.

I believe that the statistic could show that the cleverer people are the more likely they are to be politically engaged and the more likely you are to be politically engaged, the less likely you were to believe the culture war that brexit was built on because youre more likely to be able to follow political logic and narrative and most importantly, political context. If youre not politically engaged, its unlikely that you have a wide view of the narrative. Only small pockets that you see through a media lens. whether that be mainstream media or social media.

Wind at the poles moves because the other air is moving. The rotation of the earth creates drag on the air, combine that with thermal convection of the suns energy and you get wind currents.

Is cognitive function the same as intelligence.
Got on the following definition, it is not
"The main difference between cognitive ability and general intelligence is that by possessing strong cognitive abilities, you can learn and develop new skills. On the other hand, your general intelligence stays at around the same level throughout most of your life based on what you learned as a child and an adolescent."
So what the study said was that 73% of the people in the survey who had greater than average cognitive ability voted remain and 36% of them voted leave"
Haven't found the actual paper so I am not sure if they also graph IQ.
the wind answer is wrong. the winds on the moon titan exceed the rotational speed of the moon.
there is no theoretical maximum windspeed.
the gif answer is also wrong. any visual layer of any video is just a series of still images, the answer lies in the format itself. gif is an image format that simply doesn't encode audio much like a jpg or png. you could compare it to a TV that was designed without speakers. it can't play audio because it was designed not to play audio.

They updated the bus part way through the campaign.

They tell us they are doing us a big favour by reducing NI.They have done nothing to help Pensioners. For example. My friend has a state pension and an Army Pension. Every time they increase the state pension he pays more tax on his Army Pension. Now with an8•5% increase in the state pension he will get about £4 a month from his Army pension,the rest goes in tax !!! This is a guy who fought in the Falklands war !!! Without raising the tax thresholds they are ripping of people whom worked all their lives and are fortunate enough to have an occupational pension,now find that pension is gone in tax. What's the point in paying into an occupational pension fund? Governments have made it compulsory!! So the pensioners should think twice before voting Tory .😢😢😢😢

Can't give the 10 million pensioners a free tax cut, all that does is promote the wealthiest to put more into pensions to dodge taxes
@@KenPassey-hd2mc Well, yes I am a pensioner and you’ve misunderstood what I’ve said because wealthy tax avoiders and Russian kleptocrats who fund the UKIP/Tories are precisely the people we should be targeting.

The oceans are pulled towards the Moon’s gravity slightly, causing a bulge or high tide on the side of the Earth closest to the Moon. The Earth is spinning, which is why we have night and day. The Earth’s spinning means that another high tide occurs on the opposite side of the Earth to the Moon.
These two high tides draw water away from the rest of the oceans, causing two low tides between the high tides.
The suns drag equals the moons so you get a corresponding drag on two opposite sides of the earth simultaneously creating an egg like shape of tidal bulge on opposite sides of the Earth which then rotates with our orbit.
