"You don't have to stand up and be counted. You can sit down and be ignored. Because that's your democratic right. You can choose not to matter" That's so powerful
Hey we knew exactly where we were going to go. We definitely weren't like a 5 year old declaring they are running away after being told "no" and then just sitting at the end of the garden in the cold with no idea what to do next.
Surely a better analogy for the EU is moving into a three bedroom shared house, and the one who signed the lease has since invited 20 more people to live there, some in your room, has tripled the electricity bill, filled the garden with tent dwelling gypsies, and now tries to tell everyone what meals they can cook, how and how much and how often. Personally, that sounds like a situation worth leaving. With or without a plan.
"These... horse-monster things" and ""According to Google translate, Magma Carta is Latin for cardboard volcano" She is my new favorite comedian. Perfect delivery lol
“thick yogurt, sodomy and triangles” 1:29 (Other Greek inventions that are comparable to democracy) Good stuff to remember for impressing new potential in-laws.
"You can choose not to matter, and that matters if you want it to" is both the funniest thing I've heard in ages, and the most Smiths-sounding lyric not actually used by The Smiths
"It's like saying let's vote to leave our house without knowing where we're going to live next." Or saying let's leave the EU without the faintest clue of how we'll do it. No one's going to do that... Oh wait.
"Horse monster things with wooden head sticks sticks" "Other will have to li\eave and find other kind of animal" OMG shes just sooo unexplainable I LOVE IT
My favourite thing about the UK is it has a very specific kind of senior in its citizenry that don't exist in any other country who is just inteminably grumpy and lacks a sense of humour. That expert was one of many of those humourless, grumpy old farts. One thing the British definitely DID invent: curmudgeons.
After experience living abroad, nope thos kinds of people DEFINITELY exist everywhere, but they don't tend to get shown off much for international audiences to notice, for obvious reasons!
However the United States did exactly what he found unfathomable. We rejected a centuries old government without any real government system designed to take it's place. Our provisional committee existed only to complain about the old colonial order and to sign the Declaration of Independence. It had no real structure or authority to actually run a nation. So 4 years after the war was over with victory for the rebels...that confederation committee imploded and was replaced by a think tank appointed mostly by themselves creating a Federated Union Republic.
Here's a thought... Scandinavian societies were both feudal AND democratic. Following the Norse raids and invasions of Britain, a LOT of people, particularly those living in the Danelaw area would have been used to a more democratic form of feudalism than the Angles/ Saxons/ Jutes that made up the rest of Britain. 200 years later, the Norman invasion might have reinforced these ideals. 200 years after that (well, 150 ish years later), the Cardboard Volcano happened. Maybe this Magma Carta [sic] was a result of generations of Britons being told about how their forefathers had a say in how things were run, but 'nowadays' the king has the only say...
@@johncox2284 Don't take any of the above as gospel. It's almost entirely supposition, based on very little history. Well, Scandinavian societies really were democratic and feudalistic, the Magna Carta was real, so too was the Great Heathen Army... The bit about the possible motivation for the Magna Carta, THAT part is entirely supposition. I was just thinking that maybe the participatory nature of Scandinavian societies might have influenced the absolute monarchy practiced in Britain. But it's a bit far-fetched, since there were 150 years between the Norman conquest and Runnymede and even then, the Normans living in Normandy at that time were 150 years distant from Rollo 'founding' the Duchy of Normandy. So there's 300 years between Rollo and King John, thus it's very unlikely that those at Runnymede remembered, or had any family that remembered what it was like to have a democratic society.
A bit of a nitpick here, please mind that I am not a British Citizen, nor am I voicing any opinion about Brexit itself. - The UK existed for quite a long time and managed quite well before being part of the EU. The analogy of "Leaving the house" doesn't match this context.
AND THEN BREXIT HAPPENED. "Let's leave the EU." What are we going to replace it with? *shrug* Oooo look things didn't turn out so well, who could have foreseen that.
You’ve got to admit, Prof. Robert Hazell is the first person to properly handle Philomena Cunk.
You got it!
Exactly my thought!
He's the first person she has interviewed who didn't just go blue screen in response.
As a middle school teacher, I suspect he was at one point one of us.
Him and the philosophy expert
"I bet you are terrible to go on a holiday with. "
I lost it.
And to be completely frank, she's no worse than most of these kinds of interviewers we see on television.
This!!! 🤣🤣🤣
thank you :) I paused the video to comment on this, and was happy to find I was not alone :)
It's the look of exasperation on her face for me. 😂😂😂😂
Funny how, as a college professor, you can tell this isn't his first profoundly stupid question rodeo.
This is the most hostile interview so far lmao
"Democracy was invented..probably after a vote" that's profound..
"You don't have to stand up and be counted. You can sit down and be ignored. Because that's your democratic right. You can choose not to matter"
That's so powerful
Correct
Your indecision is final
You can take no part, that’s your rt.
Your indecision is final
"We aren't going to vote to leave our house , without knowing where we going to live next" it appears the British politicians missed that part
Hey we knew exactly where we were going to go. We definitely weren't like a 5 year old declaring they are running away after being told "no" and then just sitting at the end of the garden in the cold with no idea what to do next.

ahahahah
Wouldn't call the EU 'home' though
"Magma Carta is Latin for Cardboard Volcano". I laughed till me glasses fogged up!
“Hello, who are you?” Never gets old. 😂

Sodomys my favourite of these
"it took the world by storm" :D
I think triangles are overrated ... Does that make me gay?
Bwahahahaha!

No one's going to do that...
Oh wait.
Yeah and now it's happening hahahah
@@paulsilcock6923 and now we are feeling stupid because of it 💛
This aged embarrassingly.
Well, we took a vote, just like the ancient Greeks and those horse-monster things. Still not too real sure how it all goes together...
Good call!
This should have been a public service ad on tv and elsewhere before all elections: "...or you can choose to sit down and not matter".
"Bet you're terrible to go on holiday with" XD XD
thanks I couldn't hear that
Magma carta ... help : ))))
Cardboard Volcano!
Be thankful she didn't say smegma
Apparently this was the one interviewee that they didn’t get along too well with behind the scenes
"Horse monster things with wooden head sticks sticks" "Other will have to li\eave and find other kind of animal" OMG shes just sooo unexplainable I LOVE IT
holy shit i've not seen anyone tackle her as well as this robert fella that was actually really fun to watch
Something I noticed is the fact that the "Next time on moments of wonder" have nothing to do with the next episode. I love that.

That then proceeded to elect the members of the think tank as a government.
this is the most tense interview i ave seen yet
"Greek yogurt, sodomy, and triangles"
... brilliantly performed by Diane Abbot, as ever
This foreshadows BREXIT presciently...
Slightly mispronuncing words has become my favorite genre of comedy
"...a vote that would be points without something called Democracy."
We Americans, are already way ahead of ya.
"You can choose not to matter"
Love from Bangladesh!
The 'simple process of cutting his head off' 🤣
Best description of a deer ever!
Lovely!
“According to Google translate” I found my thesis statement. We’re going to Harvard with this one.
love it
I guess we'll never know about the water in the taps.
MAGMA CARTON.
Clever
Also educational
brilliant :)
She is a comedy genius!!!

I definitely need to dust off my history books and refresh my knowledge of the Cardboard Volcano and what brought it about.

Prof.Robert Hazell’s analogy of leaving your house without knowing where you are going describes Brexit in one short sentence.
A bit of a nitpick here, please mind that I am not a British Citizen, nor am I voicing any opinion about Brexit itself.
- The UK existed for quite a long time and managed quite well before being part of the EU. The analogy of "Leaving the house" doesn't match this context.
The expert is so disappointed lmao
I just want to know if the interviewees are in on it.
"Take a vote to end democracy" didn't that happened in ancient Rome?
And now we have Charles the turd
the Third.
Yeah, it'd be stupid to vote to leave somewhere and not know what you're going to do after the vote... Who would do that?
I used the stones to destroy the stones
U can vote put Democracy
Turkey did
1:46 Egham yay!
Or better yet, let's vote to leave the EU. Oh, that's right, we did!
AND THEN BREXIT HAPPENED. "Let's leave the EU." What are we going to replace it with? *shrug* Oooo look things didn't turn out so well, who could have foreseen that.
I've been to big Ben house
Wooden head sticks!😂
When govt becomes so dysfuntional dosent matter if you end it with out replacement
He's terrifying.
4:11 oof Brexit
I feel like that professor Robert Hazell haven't followed the news in the last decade.
Thinking that people are sensible is but a myth nowadays.
That professor needs to voice act for fromsoft
Horsemonster things
That guy was definitely a Redditor.
Thank you.

Other Greek inventions like thick yoghurt, sodomy & triangles.
The Magma Carta was not as hot as the name would suggest. It was mainly about protecting the nobles from buttheads like King John. It failed.
Yet this is the Republican platform in the USA
sodomy & triangles
I bet you're terrible to go on Hollyday with 😂😂😂😂
Diane Morgan has ripped everything off Chris Morris. She owes him her career.
nope
You cant own JOKES
@@SohCahToa_enthusiast16 You can if you were the first to come up with it. But no-one owns satire (which is what this is).
Written by Charlie Brooker amongst others who used to work with Chris Morris in the 90s and 2000s, so i'd say it's more of a melting pot.
I mean, you voted to leave the eu without a plan sooooooo
