I bloody love Gary! I’m not sure the last time the panel spoke to a real person or a person without a hidden agenda but they looked scared to speak in front of him as they knew he’d call them out.
We need more of Gary on these shows!
Great job
❤❤❤
exactly! no hidden agenda .. impossible to find nowadays
He did a bloody good job!
How uncomfortable they looked when he said "remember this day" and the actual squirming at 13:31 was very telling
Not a fan of Gary but by god he’s a refreshing presence and I hope we see him on future shows like this.
@@handcrafted30 why are you not a fan then
I don't think they were ready for a guest who actually knew what they were talking about
Utterly brilliant. What a guy. No one on that panel had a clue what hit them
This video ages like fine wine (sadly for the working people) the incompetence of government is evidence based. The message has started to spread.
Wow! The BBC gave a platform to an Expert who highlighted how trivial the usual political and economic fare they serve up is. Cheers Gary!
Watch the BBC avoid him like he was a rabid dog in the near future.
Gary might have done himself out of a second invite.... They can't handle the truth.
@@sonnyyombo2230 They really can't. Nickie Aikin seized up like "oh shit the jig it up" its theft from taxpayers and nations citizens
It’s fascinating to watch the politicians confident smugness fade away when they’re confronted by someone who knows the nuts and bolts of how things work.
This was a triumph Gary, truly. You destroyed their arguments. Wonderful to see on the BBC
Great to see you on the Beeb Gary and I'm sure a lot of us would like to spread the message....but one very important request please.....in order to reinforce your point about 'the £700billion given to the rich', please can you explain this further and break it down into a clear explanation with evidence of how it happened in practice? I think this is crucially important if we want to spread the message and challenge people in power.. If I say "£700 billion was given to the rich", the very next questions will be "where is your evidence for this" and "how did this work in practice"... I've still not got my head round this yet after watching a few of your videos. Thanks.
@@jc609 This is done now in our more recent videos!
Folks Gary is priceless. Do call the BBC and request him for another similar session. You are all paying for it and should demand what you care to watch!
Thanks a million Gary! I love that you’re not playing their game but focusing on the important facts. Keep going. Please.
This is like watching a war veteran and a security analysts talking about battleground conditions and events.
One has real life experience, the others just have a monetary stake in the actual war and only learned by reading books and bs. It's even apparent in Gary's and the others talking style. Gary just speaks up front, no bs, straight in your face.
You mean like watching sky news and it's fictitious reports about Ukraine .?
The woman in the red deserves some credit though right?
I mean the R > G argument is the fundamental reason inequality will grow worse without taxation on wealth.
That's actually a very good way to describe this.
How stupid and ignorant can Nicki Aitken be when she wants to argue with the guy who was Citibank's top trader in the world.
I here she has plans to tell Sir Alex Ferguson how to coach football and Jaimie Oliver how to cook.
Really well put. He's literally been on the front lines.
Well done mate. We really need to call the IEA out for their bullshit.
13:32 Just look at that Tory woman’s face, she was literally getting hot under the collar, when you gave the example of giving a poor person £2.50, and a rice person £250. She is seriously threatened by you. Your maths skills shed a light on Tory trickle down BS. Keep up the great work Gary, we love all that you do for the working class ❤
It's hilarious to compare the faces of both women, one is sweating under the collar the other is beaming with admiration as if to say "this kid is calling us all on our BS"
WELL DONE Gary! You can wipe the floor with all these other 'panellists' that Nicki, she was speechless. The Presenter had completely dis-engaged the panellists with her boring questioning. GARRY U NEED YOUR OWN SHOW !!
Gary reaching the mainstream brings hope to us all. They will love your background of working in the city, that holds weight in their world. I just hope the powers that be dont step on you when they realise they don't want your message and world view getting out. Your voice gives us hope but knowing how this media world works, no doubt someone's already working on not allowing this to happen regularly. History tells us when they hear a voice that threatens their system, they do all they can to shut it down straight away. Keep going Gary, we love to see this, education is the answer 👊
The powers that be will step on him the moment he gets too big. The question is only to what extent and how to respond.
He needs to get allies that already have big media presence . Movie stars and business leaders that have a conscience. Or grow the followers and start a political party 🤷♂️
The BBC is RUN by a Tory donor and many other management positions have been filled with Tory's due to that. The most watched news in the country headed and run with a heavy Tory Bias. The media in the UK and USA is the first port of call if you want real change. Those that control the media control the minds of the mass... and they know that and use it daily to keep the people divided.
@@philipdutton785 yeah from my cursory research I'm seeing a change of the BBC trust in 2017 to a new Royal Charter. And a board filled with Tory names. It's been a let down to know what I thought was a capitalist country with state institutions (I before this realization would have included the BBC in that) like the NIH isn't what I idealistically thought it was. When a government is controlled by capital there doesn't seem to be an important distinction. This helps explain why these economic ideas long since disproven are still so alive in the British publics image of their government.
Does the US blame the UK for infecting us with the parasite of finance capital? Does the UK blame the US for showing how to hollow out once great institutions? Or do we both blame the dutch?
Only joking of course. Workers of the world unite.
@@Kid_Ikaris my thoughts exactly ... when?
He presents a real and present danger to the legalised corruption.
With you on your message Gary, but also couldn’t believe that the BBC gave the IEA a slot to talk about their ‘report’, which you know some big money corporation or individual has paid for to say whatever it’s in their interest for it to say. Crazy that this is funded by all of us.
Totally agree, amazed but not surprised that yet again the discredited IEA given a platform to spout more of their toxic rubbish.
Thank you for constantly repeating your message. I hear you loud and clear.
Nice to see the host exhausted. This is more like how a politics show should run thanks to Gary. We need much more of this challenge - great work.
Just finished watching this on someone else's channel! So good! The stunned silence as Gary talks speaks volumes.
that's how i found this channel
Fast forwarding all the waffle, and listening to Gary speak facts. 💯 👏
Legend. Completely exposed the IEA. Love it!
Gary was so good on the show. Good dig at Annabelle which was good to see.
💣💥 Gary, that was FFFKING AWESOME!
🏆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻
I'd only seen the 'Leveling Up' bit as I REFUSE to pay to be LIED to & MANIPULATED 🤬
Angela Eagle KC is pretty damned good too.
As you can easily imagine, she's no fan of Tories or the IEA & must have been delighted by your PROFESSIONAL viewpoint, your ability to CLEARLY make those points in an easily relatable way & knock the IEA/Tory combination out of the park.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+
Hahahaaa the last word from Gary 😂🙏 Cheers Gary, giving us all hope here - so glad to see you on these big shows!
Keep fighting the good fight Gary - people ARE LISTENING
I loved that none of them dared interrupt Gary. They know the facts speak loud and clear. Top job!
Yes, they stayed quiet of fear of getting caught out. Nickie Aikin didn't want to be in the studio with an expert and visibly wanted to leave her chair. Annabelle Denham a naive "economist" who thinks everything is fine, the money trickles down from the uber rich and we should discuss lab grown meat!
The rest of the panel looked stunned that a real person, Gary, was let onto the program. They almost can't compute they're so out of touch.
Gary, keep on spitting facts bruv! 💯 👏
Gary thank you for speaking the truth and accepting no BS! I think you are are amazing. I hope you continue to get opportunities like this to pose the difficult questions to politicians. ♥️♥️
Great to see some mainstream exposure for the best voice on CZcams. Also quite novel to see someone genuinely passionate, knowledgeable & eloquent on a panel show too.
Fair play to you
Excellent Gary. See how the establishment works.....trying to draw you into the irrelevant to dilute the point and power of your message. A message these people and their ilk desperately need to understand if we are to survive as a civilised society. Well done for not falling for it and again thank you for what you are trying to do in giving the public essential economics information.
Jesus, I watched this excruciating show - it was massively improved without most of the other panelists 😂
Boom! What a shake up. Brilliant job Gary. So refreshing to see someone talk plain simple facts in such a clear and unpretentious way and not spout the usual flaky economic nonsense.
Love a bit of Gary - where have you been all our lives?! Another brilliant upload - sterling job. 👏👍💛
Annabelle Denham - blimey - I honestly don't know how you tolerate her.
It’s so easy for Tories on these shows no accountability shown by them at all. Keep up the excellent work Gary thank you 👏
No proper accountability demanded of them by the hosts.
Great to see you getting more and more mainstream exposure.
Fantastic to see you getting on with it.
Your book will be a game changer I'm sure.
Gray always brings it back to his key talking points no matter what the subject and I'm here for it. This is how it's done, drive the message home. "So Gary what do you think of self driving cars?" "Wealth inequality is the single biggest existential threat to modern living standards"
To my mind, this should be as big as the Joe Lycett mocking Truss moment. Man like Gary, on fire every time 🔥🔥🔥 How you managed to pack in so much so clearly & so succinctly was a joy to watch on the BBC of all places! Not getting distracted and staying focused on facts was exhausting for Jo Coburn 😬 'Where has the money ended up' was by far the coldest truth of the show by a country mile 🥶 All I can do is let as many people as possible hear your message and stay tuned. I've been following you for about 9 months and it's really opened my eyes and made the growing struggle that we can see going on, make sense. With such an important message, it's so good to witness more and more tuning in for the cause. Thank you! ♥🙏🏼
Maybe we should all be writing in to daytime tv shows requesting more of Gary. Thats how it works isn't it?
Lovely jab (absolute reaming) at the IEA and how they can just seem to be able to not face accountability for their disastrous advice which has hurt millions and then given a platform like nothing happened.
Keep them feeling uneasy in their seats Gary!
I love this man! Straight talking,you are left in no doubt what he truly believes,not saying what will make him popular with the media.👏👏👏
How absolutely darn refreshing, educational, and hopeful this was! Keep going, amazing work!
Gary should be on the TV daily
God! Gary's going to get some flack! But I pray, with every fibre of my being, that he gets some traction in the media.
He's put more than his head above the parapet to get the truth out there. More power to him!
Well done Gary, give yourself a pat on the back…such a breath of fresh air hearing your message on a national footing.
There were some really great moments in this clip, Gary. I think you did a great job getting your points out there and making it clear that the scale of the solution does not fit the scale of the problem. I hope you continue to get more time in front of these broader audiences.
Well said Gary!!! So glad you're getting your message out on the mainstream more and more!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Btw, the IEA seems to be all over the BBC like a rash. I wonder why?
I can think of 800 thousand reasons...
@@KosmicCharley Very, very well put.
Damn Gary i have watched this 3 times now.
Absolutely brilliant dude, fantastic.
Feel like i have waited all my life to see someone like yourself tell the gaslighting mockingbird Media some real home truths. Seriously great stuff man. Respect :)
Literally nothing else more important to be the main talk of politics
I will say as someone who also has a regional accent and a tan in a middle class dominated sector (archaeology) it drives you to work harder and be smarter than your peers. Keep fighting, we're listening! Hope you get booked for more mainstream media, you absolutely smashed this!
I have been desperate to watch this but could not devote the time to sit through all the other fluff so thanks for cutting it all out for me 👍
Are the IEA a new political party in the UK? Every time there's a political discussion on any current affairs show they have a representative there. Like wtf!?
It's a lobby group paid for by the very rich to promote their interests. They are part of Tufton Street who wrote Liz Truss's economic plans. Its a good question as to why they are given so much airtime and treated like experts rather than lobbyists.
Part of 55 tufton street. It a house that has many such bogus research groups funded by unknown business oil tobacco arms very dark money. They then talk to MPs for their rich customers kept at arms length. They then lie and say they have researched and guess what it’s alway to the benefit of these companies. The press know this and still have them on every program and paper. They should be banned. Oh and the Tory’s agreed they are a charity so pay no tax
Beast Mode. Well done Gary, keep pounding on the door. I do hope you get further opportunities to speak live, it seems common to 'cancel' disruptors.
Nice work Gary. Holding the mirror up to vested interests and shining a light on the scandal of ever increasing inequality.
Next stop.. Question Time! Great job Gary. That was brilliant.
Does anybody still watch question time ?. A propaganda program for the hard left.
Good to hear the truth on the BBC for once.
Yes indeed, my Gast was Flabbered 😮
Gary, you're awesome. I really hope you keep getting this kind of mainstream exposure - not sidelined the minute you raise uncomfortable truths.
Gary ❤ you. Honesty from someone who really knows his stuff and speaks truth to power.
wow, Gary. Keep fighting! We aint havin a german with your abilities. We only got guys like these ladys
Garry's great, clear message with watertight argument
Bloody brilliant performance Gary, well done for calling out the greed at the top.
5:52
"lots of things are difficult, some things are important."
A quote for the ages.
Bloody legend 👏 On point, evidence led, not falling for the distraction traps
I did wonder when you would post this Gary 👍🏻
A solid argument as always so well done mate and I hope you get more mainstream exposure soon.
Congrats Gary on getting on this show, your voice is being heard by more and more daily. Really proud of how far you've come!
Thank you for fast-forwarding through all the waffle of politicians dancing around the point.
Well done Gary. Appreciated that you gave the lab meat section the response it deserved. Keep at it.
Yes Gary,
Thanks for the share.
I loved your fire-shot statements in the tax section and falling living standards.
Keep up the great work and sharing these videos.
Late to the party, Gary Stevenson you are amazing.
Keep it up!
Gary I admire your courage in stating your case on national television and face-to-face with the opposition who defend the non-tax paying wealthy because they donate to the Conservative Party. What I feel was missing in this discussion, and this perhaps because I didn’t see the entire show, is the source of the government money. My understanding is that the money comes from government bonds that wealthy people buy and earn interest on thus increasing their wealth even more. So the “generosity “ of the government still benefits the rich in the long term but only provides short term benefits to the less well off. If this is correct then this knowledge could provide useful context for the public.
Check out the Video "How The Rich Get Rich from Covid 19" on this channel. It's all on there.
We need you on more of these kind of channels Gary. You are giving people like me (ordinary workers) the much needed voice in these turbulent times and speaking out LOUD to these politicians what is on our mind!!
Well done BBC for actually hosting and airing this!
And I'd like to hear this guy destroy brexshit too -he must have known the ongoing hit our economy would take.
I would wager they immediately regretted every second that Gary was speaking, and probably won't ask him to come back.
I actually think the BBC should be reporting on this national disaster in 50% of their political coverage. Because they don't the BBC is failing the nation because it's awash with its own cash. It's the institutions that are the problem and BBC is another one of them.
That was magnificent Gary. None of those smug people are used to being challenged by someone on the “left” who cannot be readily dismissed as a dirty poor socialist, nor be co-opted into some kumbaya drum-circle. They all spend the whole time on their collective back foot as you clearly make your point that the government has been enabling the wealthy to sink society for decades and it’s reaching a critical point where the middle class will simply cease to exist as an asset owning class.
Your message is simple and you’re smarter than any of them as far as economics goes they know they can’t joust with you.
Well done! Keep hammering away at the wealth tax message.
Thanks Gary for holding some of the players in the gameshow accountable. There so used to having it easy✊️👏👍
Well done, Gary. The others on the panel are like a bunch of zombies who have no clue of what is going on! This is a massive part of the problem, continually listening to people who are signalling progress rather than genuinely achieving anything!
How are they a bunch of zombies? The guy literally never elaborates on any solution and just says “listen, I traded millions at Citibank predicting the economy will get worse”, and then goes on rambling that the economy will crash. Why didn’t he answer any of the follow ups from the other panelists? Like, for example how wealth taxes haven’t seen the success he is advertising in countries where they have actually been implemented? 11:03
"If I take £15 off you and give you £2.80 is that gonna transform your life?" - Had me in tears :D :D :D
I am so so glad finally we have someone who has the guts, the power and status to speak out! Great Job Gary!
I lived in the UK for 10 years worked my bottoms off and still lived in poverty... Not being able to rent a f*cking flat in your 30s/40s in the outskirts of London is utterly ridiculous. Like the system is designed to keep the working class in hamster wheels forever. From Zone 2 1/2 onwards are pure slums. If we watch documentaries about the 19th century London slums when they created them it is the exact same situation today with the only difference that we've become more hygienic, we have technology and have a bit more to eat, but the GOV barely makes it possible to get out of there.
The working class is doing all the maintenance work to support the middle class and the rich and they get spat on in return. Now even the middle class started to struggle. So Who The F*CK are we working for??? That is the question.
Believe it or not in 2nd world countries like Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Romania the living standards are way higher for the working class. I can rent a flat easily whilst earning minimum wage and I don't even need to kill myself with overtimes. People need to realize what is going on.
Thank you for your hard work Gary. Watched this live, absolutely schooling the pane. those who benefit most like to complicate it beyond comprehension for the normal person. Gary makes this very simple "where has the money went"
"It's not enough." Well said, Gary.
❤, excellent, Thanks Gary for your continued support for everyday people.
GARY YOUR TRUTH REACHES THE HURTING WORLD!!! LOVE AND RESPECT FROM KENYA BROTHER!! YOU GOT A ROOM TO CRASH IN ANY TIME YOU ARE AROUND THIS WAY. MAY ALMIGHTY ABBA YAHWEH BLESS YOU MAN!
Fantastic interview Gary I hope to see you more and more on this sort of panel, telling it how it is. Keep it up.
Probably the best ever episode of Politics Live. I'm interested to know, whether they are interested in having you on again and/or after this, if any other media is?
I've continued to have media offers since this, but nothing back from Pol Live specifically. Really i have no idea if they liked it or not, but if they're interested in broadening their viewership i think more working class voices would be good
@@garyseconomicsI completely agree with you mate and I can relate. Your message, and persons such as yourself, are exactly what the ordinary person need right now. So I'm happy to see that they invited you on in the first place you know?
That shows that they aren't.... all the way right biased , etc or whatever, you know but, they definitely create a hostile environment vibe wise don't they, it's challenging with such a serious tone, I think you handled this very well. Such professionals as you know are trained in public speaking and very experienced at cultivating a good image, which can often cloak true intentions, I see through all - of it though.
Anxious movements only showed passion, I wonder if the producers are welcoming of someone they now know - has solutions, that they will likely know themselves exist, but that they probably DO NOT want being raised with the public...
Now they know that you know your stuff so to speak, and aren't just virtue signalling, preaching or whatever, so it is not easy to frame as if there is no genuine alternatives to the governments selfish choices.
I would hope to see if they would welcome you on again, I think they may do in the future, your profile and subscribers are going to grow exponentially.
Onward and upward regardless.
Many millions are shouting out for representation, I have wondered how far you would take this when you earn the influence and power..
The dynamic here is brilliant, I like politics/ psychology/ body language and discussions like this are rare, so I've watched this a few times. Angela Eagle and you were a team, she really liked you, have you wondered how different it may have been, potentially, with a different panel? They can be very clever, hostile and manipulative, challenging indeed.
The energy between you and Annabelle! ;) I see that you have worked with her before...I think I can sense a secret crush ahaha im joking bruva, lol. Lots to think about, I've wrote enough for one message, maybe I shouldnt have wrote this after a big boy zoot... hey ho :D
A genuine thanks if you read all of this mate, I think you're a top geezer!!
Comenting to feed the algorythm, great interview bud
Thats a good thought. Me too.
You're a hero Gary, keep up the fight
Thank you for speaking the truth Gary 👍🏻
Loving your work Garry! You stood your ground and spoke up for a large but silenced majority voice ❤
great work, trust in the power and influence you hold. you are helping more than you know.
Loving your work, more power to you mate
Fast forwarding through the BS: The cut and thrust of this videos message is startlingly good. Truth talking, kicking ass and taking names. LOVE IT!
Gary amazing stuff! many countries currently have a wealth tax (including Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain) so it’s a myth when people say it’s not workable
Norway even tax oil companies 78% to drill and everyone said they wouldn’t pay it- has it stopped them going there to drill? Has it heck. Just tax them and stop listening to lies!
Years ago I watched a documentary on bailiffs chasing historic tax debts. It was a privately owned bailiff company working on behalf of HMRC as they where apparently too bogged down. Obviously this was chasing tax money owed to the crown.The documentary makers traced the complex ownership trail of this privately owned business and they were based in Panama and not paying tax. I wish you well Gary.
I love the way they fast forward through the boring bits
Thanks for posting this Gary, your segments on this show was very well explained. I've followed your channel for a few months and it was nice to see you put your points across on the BBC. And it was good for you to call out the IEA for their part in the Trussonomics from last year, especially during the "distraction" lab meat story. I am very much looking forward to reading your book when it is published. One quick question - the IEA director that you were sat next to, the awful Annabelle Denham - was she the one that defended billionaires and said to "privatise the Bakerloo line" when you debated with her in a radio show (I think TalkRadio) last year?
Yes it's the same person
This is brilliant, l am so sorry that l never heard of you before, and l am about to fix that Gary, thanks for educating me.
Gary sorry it's taken me a year to know who you are, I seen your interview on Joe then subscribed immediately! This video outlines the problems stopping society from thriving! Two main political parties are the same just split to appear like society have a voice. However, my point is you were constantly undermined at times slightly supported by Labour but collectively dissmissing the facts you provided. The panel demonstrated the real reasons society is exactly where it is and why they want it to get worse because if they wanted better they would see the logic in your evidence and experience gained during your career. Thank you for educating us and thank you for bringing these issues to the media even tho you'll be shot down!
Well done Gary, I'm not sure they'll be booking you again anytime soon though 😂
👌 👏. Nuff said. Btw the fast forward action was much appreciated. After nearly 13 years in continuous power there's nothing this government can say now that is any clearer than their actual record.
I've come across Gary only today, I have watched so many videos already and this guy is brilliant. You can tell he is passionate about what he's backing and talking about.
Keep going Gary, you will be heard.
Av it Gary!! Well done dude, I bloody love you!!
Gary is an economic rockstar.
Extremely proud Gary! Well done hope to see more of this!
Lovely Gary! Once again you have bloody smashed it! Thank you again for all you do for the Joe bloggs of this country, we appreciate you! 🥰
