Mick Lynch at the the end there 41:12 talking sense as always. If only the politicians took a leaf out of his book. As always, love the channel JJ! 🙌
The privatisation of our water/electricity/post/railways etc ruined the balance we had as an island we all paid the same no matter where we lived . Now its a nightmare .
It’s not necessarily every politician since Thatcher that believes in universal privatisation. It’s more that every government since has fallen into line with this policy because to disagree with it would require an increase in taxation and since Thatcher, taxation has become a dirty word and just the rumour of increased taxation reduces the chance of being elected. Though the electorate seem to think that we should still be able to have pre Thatcher public services on post Thatcher taxation and after she sold off national assets in the form of utilities and transport companies. So we have far less going into the public purse and a populace where too many feel that privatisation is the best route.
As well as sucking out money, they’ve used utilities a leverage vehicles, knowing that worst case the government has to buy them back and cover the debt. That’s us, or the national debt
It's those immigrants that can turn up in Belgravia and never pay tax here that are the problem - but we don't talk about that because they're rich.
This ain't no war by racial or national characteristics, it's very clearly Rich versus Poor.
Think your jealousy of the rich is showing through, Britain isn’t being filled with super rich Foreigners it’s being filled with benefit receivers, I think people who come to the UK with their millions and spend in our businesses are more welcome than Iqbal the student and his 4 dependants all living off the tax payer.
@@stephenbaker-lemay479Don’t be a Mail/express sheep. / 1.2 million immigrants, 80k across the channel, 99% who will work, if not forced into hotels, because the tories stopped processing. That hotel filling was intended to create visibility and hate.
More money is tax dodged in a month by folk in Kensington than spent on benefits for immigrants.
Love this lad rolling out the truth, in a way that loads of English people don’t want to hear/admit.
Wall Street is wealthier and rule bending.
City of London is the Wild West
An American shocked by “ all this shady stuff”. I’m not surprised he’s shocked, I mean nothing like that would ever happen in the USA would it. 😂😂
Perish the thought 😂
Tbf its not as shady in America because they openly do alot of it there
You’re funny 😂
It’s not just the Russians Look at the influence a few billionaires are having in the US right now. There is reason to suspect that Trump’s tariff threats against Canada and Mexico, later delayed, enabled those in the know to short the market.
those billionaires are influenced by russia, elon musk for example has a lot of ties to russia and a russian oligharch gave him money to pay for twitter which he then used to influence the election.
@ yes. Given the way Musk is wrecking US administration right now makes me wonder if he is working for Putin
exactly this, that was a deliberate shock tactic to enable those in the know to steal wealth.
Appreciate you reacting to this even though you didn't enjoy it. It's important
I'm an independence & remain voting Scot, so imagine how pissed off I am! 😂
Bro We fund scotland lol You would be penniless.
Me3!
I found it a little sad when you said "make sure people watch this" and "Get your family and friends to watch this too." I expect that, living in a country that knows abysmally little about the rest of the world, and where "News" means "Solely American News." you'd just take it for granted that other countries also isolate themselves from what's going on all around them. The thing is: - we don't need to. Panel Shows, News programmes, Newspaper Headlines, Docos, (Documentaries), Interviews - they all thunder on about these issues. As that one person said: all of Europe knows about this. And so do other countries.
And... many of us are fighting it. Not with guns, violence & abuse but with Acorn (a Union to protect the working class) which is spreading to many other countries. It's not political, it's just about dodgy landlords who cause pain to those who live in dreadful conditions; exposing illegal moves on the part of rental companies, naming & shaming corrupt officials etc. etc. In one day recently, we managed to shut down every office of a certain agency across the length & breadth of England. Which resulted in certain laws being passed.
Recently I went & spoke at a conference in Leeds, and met an elderly American.man who was also due to speak. I remarked that surely that now Acorn is going to more & more countries, it surely would be able to help the working class in the US. Only when he got up to speak did I blush to the roots of my hair...he was the guy who had founded the movement! In America!! He thought it wonderful that the idea is being picked up in more and more places; where ordinary people were fighting for all "ordinary" people. But the one country which rejected it was the US.
Yeah this video needs to be shared everywhere, Britain has been for sale for too long
too many clowns crying about immigrants and woke shit, they cant see how obviously russia and china is trying to destroy the west.
It has been sold. The common infrastructure is falling to bits, roads, and all social fabric.
This in a country that once built public parks with benches and bandstands for a better future.
It’s not immigration. It’s actually an aging population, and not enough progressive taxation.
4% drop in NI, was an attempt to save the tories, not economic sense.
Scotlands water is in the publics hands
😲 ...at least use a glass or cup..! 😂
@@CoinPig😂👏🏻 bravo
If Scotland didn't have the parliament and the SNP in power the whole of the uk would be in a much worse state! Scotland keeps showing up the rest for not doing enough! It really is time they got their independence.
@scotmax8426 scotland has the parliament
@ aye with massive handcuffs on. would be great to just be friends and neighbours and let Scotland do things the way we Scots do, raising our own money and spending it the way we want to as and when.
It pisses us Brits off more mate. The ones that know and care at least, Cannot do anything about it though co's nobody runs an election on stopping it. If they did we would vote for them.Or would they even?
There's a great mini series on Net Flicks called 'Taboo' where the east India company plays a large roll. And as an American you might enjoy it because it is set during America becoming a country.
Deadwood covers the early days of the Hearst ~empire, The Pinkerton's aren't too far off a private army either.
A lot of the British Empire was started as various "private enterprise" projects, The British Government was then dragged in later, to protect all the British citizens that had moved into foreign lands.
WE NEED A REVOLUTION
Great to see you reacting to this. It needs attention and to be talked about
What makes me angry is that our children are not being taught how to question things to understand that just because you hear on on mainstream or social media it doesn't make it true and of you want to say something on the subject at least learn more about it in a critical thinking way.
If they're your children then teach them, as I am teaching my own to. We can't blame everyone else for not teaching our kids things we know. My kids are only in primary school and we're already explaining how the rich profit off the working class.. never too early to make them aware!! :D
There is also the issue that many of our workplace pensions own shares in companies that were privatised so it's also not so easy to just renationalise.
Quite frankly I agree with Jimmy's comments at the start, I'm not opposed to all privatisation but Water, gas, electric should never have happened.
The former Tory government particularly under Boris Johnson changed the whole shape of the UK and in a really bad way. It's laughable how too many people thing Farage is the answer when he is even worse than BoJo.
This is just common or garden capitalism. In simple English it would be called theft, or robbery. Privatization was always about stealing properties and businesses owned by the people, because the people needs them, and giving them to private persons, who then live of "rents", or payments from the previous owners - US ! Politicians are and have been for most of my life : I remember the time before Thatcher and the disaster since : a bunch of badly educated, thieving scum. Britain has become a typical third-world shithole... to quote Trump, who completely agrees with these policies.
Perhaps that's why we aren't as impressed or fawning to these billionaires as other Countries .
First time I've already watched the video before you reacted to it. Something you addressed a little while back about certain channels having a problem with reaction channels stealing their views, but that's complete bs, if anything it helps to spread awareness of their channels and entices people to go watch and subscribe. I'd never heard of Jimmy before but after watching you react to his videos, I've subscribed to his channel and watched many of his videos, and enjoy his content. Another interesting video of his that I watched the other day, which I don't think you've reacted to 'how i escaped the alt-right pipeline', would be interesting to see what you think about it.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was born on 19 June 1964 in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, to Stanley Johnson, then studying economics at Columbia University, and Charlotte Fawcett, an artist, whose father Sir James Fawcett, was a prominent barrister and president of the European Commission of ...
I worked 'in the city' in the late 90's and the so-called 'dead bear' of Russia was investing back then...
I left software in the noughties due the beginning of 'factory farming' coders with degrees and no real interest in coding, just money.
My job pays about $120k now when it was $40k in 2000!
I retired @43 and live in a fully owned 2 bed and now code for myself.
I overheard so many bankers boasting about x, y and z on the ride into Aldgate every day. Them not caring who they rested their 'pink pages' on in the tube.
London is a seperate, self-governing area, it is not ;The UK'.
Read up on 'the crown' and how that admin position gave London a special legal dispensation 100's of years ago that lead to the East Indian and other private 'companies'.
I still have my 'Corporation of London' ID somewhere.
Bent as a £2 note!
Thatcher certainly started the rot , with deregulation of the financial and commercial sectors .
Many of those who bought their council house , are now faced with losing them for redevelopment, and only being offered a fraction of its market value .
Watch Michael Oswald's film The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire, shows how after the empire Britain and its dependencies became the largest global players in The Secret World of Finance. It's at once fascinating, infuriating, depressing, and despicable.
His "precis" of how Britain came to control India is very abridged and simplified, but.... Yeah, mostly...
The Dutch East India Company did much the same in Indonesia and much of the South Pacific for Amsterdam. Northern Europe was just an "Imperialist Bastard" Club for a long time, with all members competing with all OTHER members. Sorry about that.

Here's how f***ed-up the housing market in the UK is. In November 2024, the average house price across the UK was £309000. The average income was £37,430.
So a house, on average, costs MORE than NINE TIMES average salary. Which bank will give you a mortgage on that?? (The equivalent figures for the US give a ratio of a little over 6:1, but even that is f***ing insane.)
I’d highly recommend the podcast “Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring” if you want to know a bit more about this sort of thing.
You should look into gary stevenson. His Interview with James O'Brien explais an awful lot. Not neccesarily for a you tube reaction though
The average person is a civilian... they ARE innocent. However, if you fund the guilty... via tax... you must expect to be "dealt with appropriately" as a problem, when and how is the defining factor of True "Justice" and True "Defence".
I am nearly 70 and hate what Thatcher started, on Monday I went to see the film A Complete Unknown (Bob Dylan) I have always liked Dylan's songs/poems and watched a lot of interviews with the young actor Timothee Chalamet who plays Dylan, I would recommend it to anyone, but when I had seen it I said to my son "What has happened to the protest singer/songwriter" I like a lot of modern music but the lyrics are quite meaningless, If anything is going to change in this country, the young people need to stand up and be counted, our election turnouts are pathetic, our governments are pretty pathetic and we all lie back and take it.
Yes my water bill from Thames water has just gone up by £19 per month. Criminal!!
Yet another guilt trip into our past.
Not like it doesn’t happen in the US is it.
the reformers are funnily enough in a lot of comment sections of reaction videos
The City of London is really old.
Magna Carta 1297 (as amended from the 1215 original in 1225, and since, i.e. as currently worded on the statute books), Clause IX: "THE City of London shall have all the old Liberties and Customs [which it hath been used to have]. Moreover We will and grant, that all other Cities, Boroughs, Towns, and the Barons of the Five Ports, and all other Ports, shall have all their Liberties and free Customs."
Magna Carta 1215 (as transcribed by the National Archives), Clause XIII: "The city of London shall enjoy all its ancient liberties and free customs, both by land and by water. We also will and grant that all other cities, boroughs, towns, and ports shall enjoy all their liberties and free customs."
Not many parts of the Great Charter are still on the statute books as statutes have repealed them as they've incorporated and fleshed out the clauses, but given the City (created ~43 AD) and the City of London Corporation (created 1111 AD) predate the end of absolute monarchy there's no way the Barons (or later, Parliament) were going to upset the City by taking away their long-established freedoms.
The myth that the monarch needs permission to enter the City of London persists, probably started by someone in 1066 when William the Conqueror retreated from the locals. You'd imagine those granted Freedom of the City could enter it whenever they want to, given their right to trade in the City or to herd sheep across London Bridge - Queen Elizabeth II was made a Freeman of the City of London in 1947 (6 years before being crowned) and King Charles III was made a Freeman of the City in 1971 (52 years before being crowned).
The City of London of London is a City, LONDON the big place is NOT a city as you think, its just Greater London, NOT a city its just a load of places sucked into like a county ...
yes this is how large cities work lol youre not saying anything unique EVER large city works this way. Some american cities are like 2-3x the size of london if you include suburbs.
@@WookieWarriorz The actual city of London is TINY and an actual city isn't it- not how large cities work, they dont have official cities in them like Birmingham, Manchester etc.... u American ? London as everyone knows it and refers to is not a city that big, London is still London in name but if you refer im off to the City of London its the 2 square miles or whatever it is within the old walls near the Tower of London, confuses Americans and most brits
@@WookieWarriorz The term "London" usually refers to region or to the conurbation, but not often to the ancient, tiny City of London. That small area is often referred to as "the City" or "the Square Mile" and it forms the main financial district. Archaically, the urbanised area of London was known as the Metropolis
And immigrants and the poor get scapegoated , as usual, for the greed of the few .
Check out the Salsbury Poionings by the BBC

Just wondering what happens when you accidentally sponser a company on your channel ?
7:10 no thats not why they have the city of london lol, that was established before global trade existed. Also labour under starmer have been re-nationalising things like the trains.
English citizens not British
The 1600's is a period during the 17th century - (early in this video, its referred to as the 16th century...which would make it the 1500's!)
So, duh?!
The City Of London. Which is the old Roman core of the city has totally different regulations and is self governing. The precedents which created it is lost in time. It is a very strange place with very old traditions. My partner is currently working from the City and has many dealings with the Guildhall. It is a power unto itself.
It's Not the Russians !!!
It's the Super Mega Rich ffs !
lol, never get between an English person and their tea
All clickbait tbf ... we're NOT getting over-run by "foreigners on boats who take OUR jobs" any more than any other country!
I live in a multi-cultural area in North East UK, most of my neighbours are Jews, Muslims, Romanian, Polish, African etc... and I wouldn't live anywhere else tbf. There's no hate, no racism. Everybody helps everyone else.
Same here in Manchester. We get along fine, thank you.

@ Hate filled gullible people that use any excuse to vent themselves.
@ totally!!
It's just a shame that videos like this make us all look bad
Kinda (it IS clickbaity), but we ARE overrun + pillaged by Oligarchs.
Check out 'The Creature from Jekyll Island's along side this and understand a lot!!!🙈🙉🙊🐵
A lot of facts here, but also a lot of using stats to exaggerate fact. Interesting that Huawei should be brought up. The security experts he mentions were U.S. security experts. It was shown and proven that Huawei wouldn't have the access that the Americans said and that we had security measures in place that would counter any threat. We buckled to the Americans and Trump because they had an alternate motive, this ended up costing us billions more. Yes a lot of these private companies are shite, but there is no comparisons in the video at all with how the state used to run these companies, it's all very one sided with some very dodgy statistics. Let the guy jump on a British rail train the in the 80's, and say it is all roses when the state runs these things.
Jimmy can do one. As of January 2024, there were over 800,000 social rented homes in London. This is about 20% of the capital's total homes. According to a 2021 census, 72% of Somalis in England and Wales lived in social rented housing. This is more than four times higher than the percentage of the English and Welsh population in social housing. And that is just ONE of the many ethnicities that make up London's population. Over 40% of London's residents were born outside the UK in 2021, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is much higher than the national average of 16%. So don't give me the crap that immigrants aren't displacing Native Brits at a massive financial cost burden for benefits, education, health and social housing on the natives.
Thank you.
Yeah but why are they coming here? Because we've enabled the corruption in their home country.
Totally agree with you mate
Spot on.
Social housing is not the same thing as the old council housing - social housing is provided by not for profit housing associations. That still means there are millions of ex council homes missing for people to live in, all thanks to Thatcher. The real culprits to blame are the very wealthy, oligarchs, hedge fund managers and the like, not poor immigrants who came as refugees who only make up 7% of immigration to this country.
This has resulted in them stealing scotlands water
Who’s ‘them’?
@oufc90 London has all this flowing fresh water running underground all of a sudden. Boris Johnson was the one that started stealing our water
Where is the money 💰
We do have a big problem with illegals, and because so little is done about it it's turning more people against immigrants in general, whether legal or not, slowly expanding the numbers and movement further right ideas.
I hope they show our London mayor Sadiq Khan and his ties to the Saudi and other Muslim countries.
I wouldn’t watch his videos if you paid me, take what ever this chap says with a huge pinch of salt.
If you don't watch his channel, how can you advise to take with a pinch of salt?
He’s coming across as a UK-hater for sure,always negative,always avoiding the majority opinion.
There are two sides to every story.
Ask the good people of Kent,or Lancashire who THEY think the invaders are.
Not sure I’d pay much attention to this video when it’s opening includes misusing historical ‘facts’ about the East India Tea Company, and what it did to India, just one fact alone, India did not exist as a Country officially until its grant of Independence in 1947, before then India was the name Britain gave it due to its use by ancient Greeks, the area known as India was in fact a group of small states or various empires, it was the British that brought them all together under one rule, tea wasn’t actually grown in India until introduced by the British in the early 1800s, and today tea makes up 23% of Indias exports and employs 3 million people.
Please don't generalise about "baby boomers". There are many of us who are very aware of what is going on. I share your anger about the Russians in Britain and the US. I'm an Australian and there is a fear that we are being played by the Russians as well. My anger goes back to Thatcher and her influence over political leaders across the western world. Australia has changed in many ways since our Prime Minister at the time followed her lead. It is criminal!
SNP scrapped the right to purchase your own council housing in scotland
The problem is happening in the usa as well,as they use the laws of each state to have a army ,so they have abused that law making there own terror cells in the usa .
Scotlands referendum was fixed to lose
What evidence do you have for that?
@oufc90 are you seriously questioning that 😳 Ruth Davidson now sits in the house of lords after helping to savatage the scottishreferendum to lose. She sampled votes across Scotland, and she announced the final verdict before the final count had been completed
She has been a member of the House of Lords since 2021.
? After fixing the referendum along with Russia
Lost postal votes, yes, votes on no tables, fire alarms going off, leaving votes unattended.

To invade is the verb, to conquest or plunder such area's or assets. The invader or invaders is the noun, as in the person or person's doing so.
Many boat loads are coming across from certain area's, to plunder or conquest area's.
Admittedly he is correct about top brass, but a certain religion wants to establish things. Blasphemy laws as an example that are being tried to be rewritten in Blighty, we haven't had Blasphemy laws here for donkeys years. For all faiths. But a certain faction of the Muslim faith want it brought in.
Religion can be questioned or laughed at, but not so much against the Islamic faith..? Some parts of the western world have enclaves or ghettos that are prescribed to Sharia Law. It doesn't work in western society, even general societies. Then there is the gangs side of things.
Governments have been doing thing's for 100s of years with money and policies. But something is strange in wanting a certain demographic to vote for you, have they not read the Hadiths..?
