'We've lost control' - Brexit breakdown part 2 | Anywhere but Westminster
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2018
- As their new series continues, John Harris and John Domokos meet Jeremy Corbyn's army of activists, teachers and parents at a Walsall school hit by funding cuts and protesters at a London march in support of a second Brexit referendum. They seem to live in different worlds but everyone has one thing in common: a sense that Britain has to change, before it's too late

The fact that Speech and Language Therapy is classed as “non-essential” is genuinely shocking.
I had multiple speech impediments as a young child, to the point where I could not be understood even by my parents. This led to me being utterly incapable of engaging socially; an isolated, lonely existence.
If it weren’t for the speech and language therapy I received in Infants school, it’s unlikely this would have changed. SLT is immensely effective and often very quick to take effect. It completely changes children’s lives and improves their life chances immeasurably. The fact that receiving it has become a question of wealth and lottery should make us sick at the ways our country is failing this generation of children.
YoshiPeach Mario, sounds like a fallacy. It is much cheaper to help speech impaired people early on, than to support them their whole life because they can't get ahead in society.
Even to this day i struggle in speaking properly, words that my mind can say but i just cannot through my mouth. Anyone who says it is non essential are extremely ignorant
@@SomePotatoSome don't even acknowledge that there is a society, as Thatcher said:
"They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours."
soon heating will be classified as non essential too, then 3 meals down to 2 meals but at least we can vote.
We have this old joke in Germany: There are 10 cookies on the table. The capitalist takes 9 and tells the tabloid-reading worker, "Look out, the foreigner wants your cookie!".
Seems to work every time!
A Google user, I know now why my son and his young family love holidaying in Germany, Berchtesgaden is their favorite place but they go all over, they ended up visiting adolph Hitler's sister Paula's grave, it was kept beautifully, he had vedios the whole place was amazing, people are so friendly they said and so helpful, byeb
Oh and they say Germans have no sense of humour, it's intelligent humour
We have the same kinda joke in Britain...
The lazy smackhead lives on the dole then blames the Conservatives when they bring in foreign workers to do the job he should be doing.
@@davytornado9772 I guess you didn't understand the joke.
@@flybeep1661 think Davy is the joke...
The midlands and especially the North have been ignored for too long. The Guardian itself printed an article in 2014-15 that a Londoner had 24 times spent on social infrastructure compared to someone in the North....where were all the remain voting Londoners then? Where were the rallies and demonstrations demanding more was spent on the North? Nowhere to be seen. The pompous self serving remain voters especially from the middle classes who now complain, should have years ago and then Brexit wouldn’t have happened, but they were too self centered.
john sam midlands and up North is pretty grim? Which city has the highest murder rate comparible to average social infrastructure spending? I’ll help you out.....it begins with L. London is a parasite city of money laundering and entitlement. Its day will come when the rest of the UK march on it and take what we’re owed , and who could stop us?
Your points about regional inequality could not be more right! The unfortunate truth is, Brexit is not going to solve any of those issues.
Chris The North East is the most neglected part of the Uk. We need big investment up here
@john sam some of the most beautiful parts of your country are up north, also the music and the song.
@YoshiPeach Mario LOndon generates more becasue there is more fraud, embezzlement and it is where the immigrants, the conmen and the MPs are concentrated, need to say anything more?
Did the Bulgarians and the Polish close all the shops in Walsall. How did the Bulgarians and the Poles cause the cut backs in school funding. The immediate instinct to blame foreigners for all the problems has really helped the Conservatives.
I would add did the Europeans migrants decided to not give full contracts to retail employees?
I thought was the companies, the government and the capitalism
i think your missing the point michael ,,in poor areas where housing and jobs are limited ,thousands of extra workers depresses the area even further,,,school funding is cuts cuts cuts ,,Labour gets in gives vast rises in government and benefit spending ,,the Tories spend the next decade swinging the other way ,,you really cant trust political parties and politicians to run a bath !!
How on earth is Corbyn 'going to save the country' if he can't sort out his Brexit policy.
Britain appears more medieval every day and you have cloistered aristocracy with nepotism entrenched have a revolution already
*Baffling that when John goes to tory territory people call him commie, and when he goes to Corbyn rallies people call him "Main Stream Media" as something negative. People are idiotic to say the least. How can they be allow to vote at all.*
Anyone else notice how they gave some of the northeners subtitles...? xD
Well to be honest...
not like the southerners who read the guardian understand working class anyway
For us abroad lads. It's not just you lot in the UK that watch this.
I came because my granny told me to.... Lol 😂😂😂😂
Yea, that was hilarious! Hahah. I'll bet ya Nana was proud though..
Anyone else think that guy looked like the singer of the Happy Mondays?
No, just me? I guess I'm getting old...

He does look like young Bez 😉😊
What he and his Granny get up to in the privacy of their own home, is their business.
And what age is he ????
"She's workin' in McDonalds {can't get a job} ...can't get a job..."
well, if people use their democratic rights to vote for "protest" and they are only emotional about it, without thinking about consequences then I have to say, all our ancestors, who fight for our democratic rights died in their fights in vain. We might as well reestablish absolute monarchy. Would not make much difference. People don't understand democracy and they don't take their rights to vote seriously. Including those, who did not bother to show up and protest now. I mean, they were asked. They said then: "it was rainy"... well, a few generations ago people fought for your rights in a rain of bullets. Now a bit of rain disturbs you?
If they knew we would be in a superstate they would have believed hitler
I am from pure working class stock, in fact raised in abject poverty. However, I couldn't find one party to vote for in the UK now. Traditionally I would be Labour, but sorry Labour sold the working class by importing cheap Labour and pushing down wages, before anyone suggest I've been hoodwinked by the 'right wing' media, I speak from experience! Yet, Labour still want to continue that way, which means I can't support them.
One thing though, I applaud John Harris, he's a Guardian journalist I don't always agree with but he has the ability to make me think! Compared to the idiotic Owen Jones who just spouts rubbish!
That is the labour party of neoliberalism before. Everything has changed now after we bring in JC to make Labour go back to its original root. We will make a change, we will bring in social justice. This country is for all of us, not just for elites. You wait and see the wind of change is going to blow off all the evils out if their roots.
@@R2D2C3POSKYWALKER with all due respect, have you seen the elites in the Shadow Cabinet?
Yeovil lol... You cannot make them vanish, can you?. The nature of the elites is that when the music changes, they change the dance. Either they will accept the socialist values or sit in a corner and cry.
how do you expect jeremy to get anyone else in the cabinet? The PLP should be called the parliamentary conservative labour party
Who do you support now?
7:21 "..so don't do it again, yeah!?! Cressida looked suitably unfazed before returning to her Georgian townhouse in Belgravia...
I’ve been to a Corbyn rally (quite enjoyed it) but I have to say they do sound more like rants than proposals.
he's starting a grass roots movement, he has to enthuse his base, he has to mobilise people, the manifesto is free online for anyone to read but i think labour have realised, it's not about policy anymore, people don't care - they don't listen. they listen to headlines, elections are about likeability and popularity now so he's playing up to that.
I remember going to Brownhills market as a kid and it was brilliant.
I couldn't find proportional representation on the labour party manifesto. Nor on the Green's.
No sad really. I hate the two party system. Blair promised electoral reform. It's a shame, as they'd likely have had more of a stake-hold in power for the last decade - the wilderness years.
Respect to the head teacher and the woman in the green top with kids
do they not realise corbyn supported brexit for the last 40 years?
Reminds me of Glastonbury back in the 1980's! This is what it looked and felt like...
The school in Walsall has holes in the roof, has to cut some services yet pays a headteacher approx £100k. How exactly is that wage justified if she can't even run the school properly?
The lady should have said "Our taxes paid for the government building." I can stick a sticker on it if I want. Lol!
Love these anywhere but Westminster Videos but is the colouring done on purpose to make the UK look considerably grimmer.
Brian Nicholas no, it’s pretty accurate!
We are fUKd. 😂
In a year Jezza has gone from U2 to you, who?
We need more people like the guy at 4:14 in politics.
As a newly turned 30 year, i look at my mom who has a nice job, decent retirement and job security for ages and think, ill never have that security, ill never have that mindset of knowing where youll be in 10-20 years
So basically your dream is to have a boring and predictable life?
The people have never had control of this country...however, if Brexit is a complete disaster then all bets are off. Anything can happen.
It doesn't cost anything to read books at a library. Your local library can on request get any book you want. You can watch hours of lectures by Stanford professors for free on UA-cam, as well as many other lectures and talks by all manner of institutes. You can read wikipedia, educate yourself about investing, politics, chemistry, exercise, nutrition, learn languages, explore the world with google streetview etc etc. You can download Spotify and listen for free to the world's music, of great classics etc. But instead they use their internet to take selfies and waste their time on social media. Education, if you are determined to better yourself and your environment is up to the individual. In 2018 we've never had it so good in human history. And these people are mulling around, in their thick regional accents, jumping off buildings and talking of no future for themselves. This is the result of an easy benefits culture, of a safety net. If there was no safety net, if it was entirely up to the individual to feed, cloth and house themselves, you'd see people valuing education, of striving to learn more and better themselves. Instead, people don't push themselves, accept a miserable existence and if they're not blaming the government they're blaming immigrants and the EU. Then when benefits are cut they get even more down. Sad sad sad demise. Go to China and see how hard the children study, how highly regarded education is - because if they don't pass the national exam they are doomed to be poor, work in a factory etc.. and if they can't do that, then beg, as there is no safety net. You could say it's cruel but it certainly gives the population an incentive to better themselves. Where is the incentive in Walsall? - the people need to find it within themselves and stop expecting the nanny state to improve their lives, "we need more funding etc.." no, you need to educate yourself more, if you have no minibus, then walk - there are children in remote parts of Bolivia that walk an hour or more to school each day, and they don't have libraries and internet connections etc... The UK people don't know how lucky they are.
formxshape yes they should aim to be like a third world country. Hot take bro.
Funny you should mention libraries, since Walsall (which once had an outstanding library network) has just had to close almost all its library branches except the town centre one.
9:45 is that a name plate using comic sans font??? That's hilarious.
I have seen a Belgian schoolbus with its destination board in comic font.
The underlying vibe I get of the UK and the USA is that democracies are doomed in the long run. Maybe not now, but in 50 to 100 years, the current setups of governments and voting will be utterly changed or completely killed off.
“Benefit cap” that means she was getting more than £26k a year in benefits. TBF I’m glad it was capped.
Lord, I’m glad my children and I live in Germany 🇩🇪.
Your kids are lucky
My son and his family said if only England was like Germany ,
@@blumoon7274 Well you would see that not everything is fine and that we did also damage to our social net. Just not at such an extreme scale.
@@azraelis1218 My kids say, "Why don't the Germans have a sense of humour?" Maybe after Brexit they will have to be taxed on that :)
And? Still are ? Is it any better here ? :D
I live round the corner from this event in palmers green, i can tell you two things, 1)no one knew about the event until the park was closed off for this labour live event, 2) the neighbourhood has no english people, the majority is polish, somarlian, Albanian, Romanian, nigerian, kurds etc, the documentary and the government show how out of touch they are with real people who work 7 days a week
5:32 what he meant to say was 'after looking at you I thought it would be the other way around '
that cafe-owning guy reminds me so much of James Corden, is it just me?
Josephine Winter
Nah I didn’t get the whole “ _KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!_ 🔥” vibe with that guy.
I think it's just you.
'you cannot fight if you do not have ammunition' i was thinking, good comment, then i remembered that other famous comment, 'rifles and a programme', which suggests, is there a programme though?
9:37 what was the reason for a 'pay gap' again?
7:15 - Why aren't you breaking in and smashing things up, he asks... January 6, 2021. Very very different day to this one.
09:04 "in a school with 300 holes in the roof" ... followed by a description of the kind of cuts the school has to do, because of less money..
What?
I had never imagined that the UK is in the direction of being a 3rd world country.
FYI, I am a Danish citizen living in my home country, Denmark.
Lars Hansen yep, 8 years into the Tory austerity project now.
Dan Lewis How long is this austerity going to last ?
Tom Jardine Until this government falls, which shouldn't be long now. That or they may eventually change policy, but I wouldn't counts on it.
Can't remember where now, but I heard the other day that the vast majority of the poorest areas of the EU are in the North of England. It's the fault of deliberate neglect for electoral purposes by Conservative governments and negligence by Labour ones. It isn't far off from being a third world country, one of the main characteristics of which is profound inequality, and a governing class that just doesn't care about the majority of citizens.
@Greg Grimer
"Who got onto the roof and counted the holes?"
Quadcopter, perhaps? Those small marvelous flying machines are used alot in engineering now a days
"That would be very difficult to do"
Having studied civil engineering in robotics I can tell you that there are standard software that can count objects on a photo with ease.
Amazing report, great insight. Great reporting by the Johns, many thx for that. Greetings from Bavaria

Well suppose even tree hugers need a day out sometimes
In my youth i was a political activist ,then i grew up. Amongst political activists and M.P's you generally now find that they skirt the central economic problems affecting the vast majority of the population and this is because they no longer control macro economics, that is the play area of the corporate classes. Globalisation is and has been since 1973, the elephant in the room and this has been seized on by populist movements, left and right. A huge distrust has grown towards centrist politicians or parties dominated by politically correct thinking because they fail to tackle the effects of globalision and its impact on the working class. As a leftist i,m amazed how the vast majority of labour activists are pro E.U. when economically it has a neo liberal economic policy and is highly pro globalisation
nice sensible clear common sense reply,,Globalisation is bigger than any single government ,leftist parties in greece and italy never made a dent,, dont know the answers to that one myself
can someone colour grade this footage please.
Watching this 15th January 2020 and I find it really amusing.
15th March 2021. Still waiting for a report confirming that the people in the video have higher salaries doing to jobs EU workers used to do.
WE are not a political party. We are the PEOPLE!!
People have to change and take responsibilities, make choices, work together, listen to each other, make a lot of mistakes and be our own leaders. Stop admiring leaders, heroes, gods. Stop following masses. Minorities rules. Perfection doesn't exist. Reality counts. Work smart not hard. We are only human.
@Spinler Muckflitt but it isn't is it.
A point for a future as the country.
This is miserable, yet it makes me smile.
2:22 that music tho
So sad...
As I look at these people I can't help but ask myself how many of then are on benefits.. because most come across as unemployable but full of entitlements.
stupidity of the masses does not surprise me anymore...
I think with the new constituency boundaries (and potentially mandatory re selection) would mean the system would choose Tories even if the percentages are close.
Seems that way. They can do no wrong, however awful they are.
Under the current system, even if Labour got slightly more votes the Tories would likely get more seats. That is our democracy right now.
constitutional crisis incoming
Civil war is coming.
Uk has no constitution
It’s weird the way we’ve swung from moderation I.e. Blair v Cameron 2006 to Corbyn or Johnson/Rees-Mogg now. (Not to say Corbyn’s bad btw.)
Blair was probably the most extreme government in history.
Deliberately imported millions from 3rd world onto a vastly expanded welfare state "to rub the noses of the Right in diversity"
By "the Right" they mean the white working class that they pretend to stand for, but in reality they have a genocidal hatred towards - "the gammon".
But Corbyn is bad . .. by the way.
The labour party used to be viewed as a working-class party unfortunately they are now viewed by many as a ethnic party.
Immigration is obviously not just cut and dry. There is a reason immigration significantly increased during successive Labour governments and during Theresa May's rein as Home secretary (look it up). That's because immigrants are incredibly helpful. A recent report from the Migration advisory committee showed that EU citizens in the UK pay more taxes, and their presence doesn't lead to unemployment and lower wages for British workers. They also make a proportionally large chunk of the NHS. Whether we like it or not, flexible low-skilled labour keeps our agricultural and food processing industries afloat. It's doubtful that British workers will tolerate the instability of zero-hours contract, whilst working gruelling hours in factories. But that's what businesses require, that's what productivity requires, and that's what continues to make us a wealthy country.
Let's be honest, immigration is a problem not for financial reasons -- destitution and unemployment in many areas is because of cuts and poor education. Instead, it's probably because of a large influx of people with massive cultural differences. People don't like their areas being overrun with masses of immigrants -- immigrants who either seem to be doing ok for themselves or are taking benefits. If that's the way it is, say it. But from an economics standpoint, there is little to argue over.
Increased during Blairs time because he illegally joined a war in the Middle East and then was guilt ridden to impose middle eastern refugees on the uk population, up in Hull etc.
@@formxshape Perhaps. But immigration began rising from 1997, Blair's first year as PM. Seems that his reasons for increased immigration didn't have much to do with maintaining image. And, it's easy to slate Blair, but the reality is, he was hugely popular and people voted for him three times knowing his record on immigration and war (intervention in Iraq in 98 and Kosovo in 99). It's not like the public didn't know -- they were as aware as they are now, and decided to vote for him anyway; it's kind of ridiculous to remove all culpability and responsibility from the public's decisions.
the 1400 white British girls who were raped and groomed by Pakistani men in Rotherham was unfortunate, however, the community from which these immigrant men came from are incredibly helpful and paid more in taxes than the lazy natives who won't work gruelling hours in factories. From an economic perspective - there is little to argue over. Economy > everything else.
Thank you for providing these people with the actual facts! Rather than their perception of the truth.
Let's start the revolution... :-)
Yes and I know who I'd line up to be shot first.
'Has a University degree and can't get a job'. The question is what did she study? University degrees have been watered down by the influx of worthless subjects.
10% of law graduates get a degree-irrelevant job. The highest number of people employed in the degree they studied is arts subjects (not humanities, just arts). My friend's son got a Chemistry Masters and took five years to find a job that wasn't cheffing etc
Ronbo Fett I knew somebody who studied history at university, and ended up stacking shelves for a living
You might want to ask why Universities offer the subjects which they do, in the numbers they do.
Higher education is a volume product now.
A humanities degree costs just under £3K a year for the University to host.
A medicine degree costs around £30K a year.
When the income is £9K per student, you can easily see where the profit is, and where the loss is.
Medicine; engineering; anything which involves lab time and a lot of direct support; they are expensive.
YoshiPeach Mario I know, i am not against retail staff. I mean, to spend all that money on uni and work in a shop
Everyone has one now also.
Dear women at 6:40 who explains "people just don't understand the real issues", who the hell do you think you are exactly.
well i didn't understand issues like the Irish border. did you? i had some awareness that i didn't, that's partly why i voted remain.
backfromcuba - You don't need to be an expert on everything EU to understand some of the aspects that affect you. As an Englishman sat in the south of England the Irish border doesn't affect me personally, I don't need an opinion on it. But I do have experience and opinion on things closer to home. Most people are mostly ignorant of most things, thats normal, hence my original comment above.
On the one hand you criticise the woman in the video for saying people didn't understand the issue and on the other hand you say most people are are ignorant of most things... seems like a bit of cognitive dissonance going on there. Additionally if you think the issue of the border in northern ireland doesn't affect people the south of England maybe you need to research things like the Bishopsgate bomb and other bombings carried out by the IRA in the south of England.
Schrodingers Ferret - You "who the hell do you think you are for suggesting people didn't understand the issues". Also you "Most people are mostly ignorant of most things".
@Schrodingers Ferret. So your attitude is basically: if an issue doesn't affect me personally, I don't give a damn if it's bad for anyone else, and I'm not even going to try to understand why.
A magician called GOB
Stickers on doors shocker.
Subtitles for English people, is that so Guardian readers can laugh at them properly?
Nocker I'd laugh but it's tragic
Don't understand people who don't vote. Even if nothing does come of it it's only putting an x in a box. What's the worst that can happen? Unless you can't afford to be on the register and have made a choice not too. Then i understand. Council Tax is the poll tax under another name basically.
Jamie Barnes that’s the point...once you are registered liable for all sorts of taxes
Vincent - Exactly. Registration is to contract in with EU corporation already. To accept and follow all their corporate STATUTES as 'law'. Long before any voting. Like the local supermarket staff who have contracted in with the employer to follow their rules. So the elections are just a dog and pony show to make people think they had a say in matters but they really don't.
The shops have shut because they all buy stuff online with the mobile phones they also use to create social-media bubbles that make the rest of the world look more and more alien.

There is no hope in remaining only change can bring hope Brexit is hope.
Brexit has eff all to do with cuts in Walsall
If your community is being impoverished then why should you care if voting for Brexit will impoverish everyone else. Yes it was the Tory austerity that caused the cuts in Walsall but Remainers need to come up with a way to make Europe work for Walsall to defeat Brexit because saying Brexit will be even worse won't cut it.
Brexit has a large and total impact on British Economy. The Economy is everything, every transaction, every job, every item and every service. Things suffering from weak pound right now are services running on a wafer thin profit margin. So places like Walsall with little stability and little ability to absorb negative impacts now has none.
EUROPA UNION CORPORATION have been running the show in Britain since the illegal referendum in the '70's. The EU is responsible for ALL the austerity measures. But hey, blame the brexiteers who are trying to wake you up and save you.
888Caz.. The EU has had nothing to do with austerity. Remember the crash? That was the greed of the big banks, starting with Lehman and the lending to borrowers who would never have the means to repay..
The EU is adopting new measures on tax, which will cost the likes of Rees-Mogg and the rest of the Brexit Elite. Why do you think they want it so badly? Rees-Mogg's father wrote a book on how to make money during financial crisis.. Please think about it.
The Brexiteer Generals, as previously mentioned do not have your interests at heart.
I wish you well.
I dont think you understand the reason why hes in Walsall
Do you know what's sad. The people who complain about how their communities are being hurt by cuts, but don't actively get involved in changing that. Instead looking for someone else to blame.
Greg Marah They sit at home and blame immigrants for actually doing something with their lives.
15th March 2021. Still waiting for a report confirming that the people in the video have higher salaries doing to jobs EU workers used to do.
You can't get a yes or no from a politician when asked to choose by a journalist , they aways go off on their own agenda , but they ask the people for that extreme answer, too simplistic
McClusky paid 35 quid, not bad from his 100+ grand salary
And remainers that want another vote, think of it in this way, if you had won the vote to remain and the MPs were determined to leave and were ignoring the result would you want a second vote where remain was not on the ballot? Or would you want those who lost the vote to shut up and for the MPs to also shut up and do what they promised, which was to honour the vote and make it happen?
I am so confused, do these people support Remain or Leave? I assume with the Guardians invitation to attend the event these Labour supporters are pro-EU, pro-immigration, pro-open borders. So I am making an assumption (assumption only) they are Remain supporters? If I am wrong politely tell me please and keep it simple as possible. This where I am struggling with Labour. Thank you
Out of interest, (I'm a photographer,) did you have to get parental consent to film in the kids school?
The point about austerity has nothing to do with leaving the EU. The government of the time in 2008 decided to save the banks, the taxpayer has to foot the bill, that means more taxation or less spending....... voila!
Music rallies and hipster ‘love ins’ is not how things change...honed scythes and sharpened pitchforks is how things change...
Cafe owner took his flag down as soon as he started slagging the system. Bravo 👏🏼

You could like the country/flag but hate your government.
It's not even a close decision to leave. There are no benefits to staying in the EU.
Richie Matin Well it was a close decision: 52 to 48.
No benefits? Wow, how deluded is that...
I think you meant to say "there are no benefits *compared* to staying in the EU" ;)
"Nothing is solid"
"This world today. Is it worth bringing kids into it?"
Her statement sums up the problem very well. There aren't enough people being born to deal with the short term problems Brexit is going to cause. If there is a mass exodus of low wage earners economic stagnation is a certainty.
a third party - the balance of power party - look at what the DUP got for NI - vote for a northern England Independence Party
At 9:45 You can see the school has an ‘Executive Head Teacher’ and a ‘Head of School’ yet they want to cut speech therapy which costs £10k. According to Indeed a Head of School is paid £60k and Executive Heads get £100k. The public sector makes me sick. I’m not even going to mention the pension benefits which are worth millions.
James Richardson What is an executive headteacher? I feel sure when I was at school, headteachers were just that
academisation and poor school funding have ruined schools
The problem with this type of activism is that they're preaching to the choir.
they will chase or tax the ones with money and they will leave taking their money and you will have nothing

England was never healthy - from Wellington's slaughter at Peterloo to the obscenities of the Black & Tans... and even before that - but it is terminally sick today. I have lived three quarters of a century in this country and seen nothing but decline in every area.
Am I proud to be English? Well, I cannot answer that because I am Irish and proud to be. But if I were English I would be ashamed of what my country has become. I applaud Boris for his efforts to induce a renaissance but I fear the rot has set in too deep. Better the whole island sinks slowly into the atlantic now.
Yep
