Ken Loach has got it spot on. I had a serious mental breakdown and I was so ill I couldn’t even hold a pen to sign a a form. I live with PTSD and a immunodeficiency illness. I have agoraphobia and I was told I was fit for work. I wAs to sick and unstable to attend a interview. Because I couldn’t attend I had my money stopped. It left me penny less and I was left with no money ,no food. And had to move out of the flat I was living in. I ended up living with friends who could not afford to feed me as well as their children. I am recovering from my breakdown but still unable to work but still the government people who assessed me still think 8 am able to work. This government do not care about me or any other person who is sick physically or mentally. Poverty is beyond normal and is raising. This country is the 5th richest country in the world. This government are criminal and we need to get them out of power. They lied to all of you who voted to leave the EU to have more control over the people of the UK and they work d on the fear of refugees coming in to the UK . All the terrorism attack’s have stoped now Brexit is done and the greedy Tory government has got what it wanted. Bread fear in people and they are easier to push around.. Funny that hey ?
Yeah, true!!!.... but nothing in comparison with Hollywood directors. The point is, he might have a few million but he cares about the plight of other less fortunate than himself which is sadly lacking in todays society.

We would have thought Kwarteng would have at least made the effort to watch the film before appearing, knowing full well he was going to be interviewed. He didn't take it seriously. In fairness to him, though at least he turned up, unlike the person who should be there, the Secretary of State for the DWP. These politicians just take the whole poverty issue with a pinch of salt.
Can you believe how blind this guy is? My uncle has had a recent stroke. He worked all his life. He went to the interview, and because he had his pride, they declared him fit to work. The report he had back was full of lies. He can barely walk. His mind is not right. It is so cruel. Saying they are creating more jobs, what point is there of this - if people are too sick to work? This bloke is very lucky to be sat on tv, as a blind policitican. What the hell is going on in this country? Where people at the top cream money, people get away without paying taxes. People are making money from housing, and others - are denied the basic rights for benefits when they have worked all of their lives paying into the system? It is a joke.
I was out of work for 6 months in 2019/20, and went to the job centre several times. I decided I was better off burning through my savings than spending time in that place. It’s up their with funeral homes and the bookies as the most bleak and depressing places in the country.
The benefit system.......is basically a lottery, depending upon the individuals you encounter. Some are decent and kind.....others are the scum of the earth.
Ken Loach is absolutely correct about the benefits system and the story. I have seen the film. Kwasi needs to watch it with his eyes open. The film absolutely reflects political reality. The figures back him up.
The most stupid part is that a good many of the people suffering hardship believed the Tories would fix it because Boris sounds like a nice bloke. People need to start taking elections seriously.
No they don't. Elections are a complete joke. Even if people had a good choice between two parties the chance is positive change will not happen and never will. Both sides are liars. I don't blame the people who choose not to vote
Even when labour has good intentions, they mostly don't live up to their promises- either because the party doesn't allow it or the system doesn't allow it
@@GherkmanProductions so what's the game plan? Increasing numbers of people not voting to the point where the politicians in power don't even bother with approval? You think that'll end well? Hold them to account. If lying meant they'd suffer in the polls they'd be less likely to do it. Your detachment just plays into their misbehaviour.
Three separate diagnosis, from three different medical experts. 25 minutes with a physiotherapist, who had never heard of one diagnosis, and I was told I was fit for work. Twice this has happened now, twice I have gone to appeal and won. Twice they have put me through that. It didn't do my health any good. I am also one of the people who has been asked - at more than one assessment - why haven't I committed suicide yet. I was self employed, loved what I did, was good at it, and was heartbroken not to be able to do any of it - probably ever - again. My profile pic is one of my favourite memories from my working life. Not just the doing of that rather grim and chilly activity, but the whole day that surrounded it, the people, place and purpose.
I WISH that the film was just “storytelling”. The fact that people are still living this is so abhorrent. The vulnerable are wrongfully made accountable and it’s disgusting. I hope the system changes in my lifetime because I’ve seen generations of my family/the people around me suffer
I worked and paid taxes from the age of 16 without a single day of unemployment. At the age of 58 I had a heart attack and was medically made redundant from my job.

4:00 - the moment Ken Loach decided his next film would be about the gig economy. Kwarteng is almost proud of his ignorance, and doesn't care who knows it. Tries crude smear tactics then claims he 'respects' KL's position. KL is worth a thousand of this clown.

At Eton and at just about every other fee paying school, showing compassion is a sign of weakness and isn't allowed under any circumstances. However, being self dependent is very much encouraged in these institutions. Kwarteng and Johnson went to Eton. Loach is wasting his time on this one...
Those who went to the old type boarding schools, particularly the ones that used physical punishment did certainly cause developmental damage. It's called "Boarding school syndrome" & it's a fascinating, & insightful topic. Check some of the video s out on UA-cam. I always wondered why boarding school adults were so aloof & cold hearted. It definitely comes through in our conservative politicians.
The story has literally just happened to my father-in-law. Permanently injured due to COPD from working down the mines and now the government wants him to get back to work 2 years shy of retirement. Fuck off! Those who could have worked but didn't need to take a look at themselves.
Laughing at the Queen's funeral last week too. Sociopathic, narcissistic, supercilious pompous arse... Look where we are now he's Chancellor. God help us.
Watch carefully, when they finish showing the film clip, Kwarteng has a big grin on his face. For me that says it all, before the man had even uttered a single word. Such people should be tried for treason and dealt with accordingly.
People come from Europe unable to speak the language and get work this country. There are only two reasons you sit in a job centre today. 1. you refuse to work. 2. You don't have the moral strength to work a job you deem beneath you or too hard. I am a northern working man and I have NEVER reduced myself to signing on and I never will. GROW THE FUCK UP! OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO WIPE YOUR ARSE.
This is happening here in Denmark as well, we have the same kind of psychopath politicians. When a doctor assests you to sick to work, they bring in a consultant, who never even see you in person, to contradict and suddently you are healthy.
Soon as you see Kwarteng in shot, smirking, you know exactly what is going through his head. Mostly.. "Disgraceful oiks demanding to be able to survive.."
Kwasi Kwarteng, MP represents a Surrey Constituency - one of the richest counties in the country, he went to Eton and Cambridge and Harvard University. He is as far removed from the lives of ordinary people in this country as the moon is from Mercury.
You do realise he was there on academic scholarships and his parents were student migrants from Ghana? He was incredibly clever and therefore won the scholarship to Eton, went to Cambridge then won the Kennedy Scholarship to Harvard. He worked up to where he is now.
Old etonian Kwarteng telling his own story, devoid of sympathy, empathy, in denial, supporter of the 'hostile environment' which passes for tory social policy.
I just can't understand why normal working people can listen to someone like Kwarteng and still vote tory. Why? I understand why people don't want to vote for the current labour party, but to actively support this guy and people like him unless you're in the high tax bracket, why?
Kwast is good at ignoring reality and replacing it with his own facts. How can there be so many people who vote for such an uptight down hitter that he gets elected.
Kwasi should be made to live with an impoverished family on a run down council estate for one whole year. Give him the raw experience of having to live from hand to mouth, day in and day out with no hope that life is ever going to change before you die because the system fails.
I remember it well.... Had good and bad times and always described time out of work claiming dole... PRISON TIME ON OUTSIDE....bad times. Well said Ken
I'd like a government that removes the need for such social commentary. At least Dickens' work resulted in positive change. Modern Tories just deny everything and make things worse. They're taking us back to Victorian times.
The government of food banks. True. Kwasi is saying that because they are voted in it means they are the best option. Here he says 'i haven't heard of any stories like this'. Just because he hasn't heard of this, doesn't make it not true. So so sad
Notice the sly dig at Ken at the start of the interview from the Tory?... Guru-Murphy - "Have you seen the film?"... Tory - "Don't think many people have." As charming as a Tory twat can be.
For this Tory to say this isn't happening is unbelievable, what is he trying to say that all these people who've had sanctions imposed on them are telling lies. Who is he anyway, must have been put forward for the interview because he'd be instantly forgettable and we wouldn't know who to ascribe such utter rubbish to.
His private education obviously avoided Dickens then? A social commentary by a former Parliamentary reporter. With the aim to provide the facts and motivation to solve real issues of poverty and injustice.
Typical politician, full of shit! Completely detached from reality. Shame on the regime! Thank you Ken keep up the good work, you are a true humanitarian.
The big difference here is that Ken loach has researched, been part of and spoken to ordinary people going through the benefits system and all the suffering it causes. Kwartang hasn't done any of these things because he dismisses them off hand because, like the Tory party(and the government as a whole) they have become so removed from the lives of ordinary folk. Government is a business, politicians don't go into politics to represent the people, they go into politics to represent the wealthy elites interests, consequently(and deliberately)profiteering from a corrupt system that is geared to serve a few while forcing the majority to fund it.
Man who hasn't seen film says film is inaccurate.
Kwarteng looks like he's never skipped a meal in his life.
His smug smile is sickening. This is all an abstract game to him and the nasty party.

No, I'm afraid he's not clueless. He and the party know exactly what they're doing.Evil
Can you imagine if Loach and Shane Meadows got together and made a film. It would be LEGENDARY
Sounds effing awful.
Ken was right then and he's right now. It's worse now...including the Tory denial.
We really don't have a party that really works for the majority of the people of this country!! We are in a mess!
The thumbnail sums up this video, brilliant 😂
I just can't understand why normal working people can listen to someone like Kwarteng and still vote tory. Why? I understand why people don't want to vote for the current labour party, but to actively support this guy and people like him unless you're in the high tax bracket, why?
It's sad that the most important interviews only last 5 mins. And that's about how long the corrupt torys think about people's benefit suffering.
What a lovely human being. Bless you Ken
Ken Loach for Prime Minister 👍❤️✝️
Kwast is good at ignoring reality and replacing it with his own facts. How can there be so many people who vote for such an uptight down hitter that he gets elected.
Well done Ken Where is the political opposition ?
Our benefit system is a disgrace as are the Tories
Kwasi should be made to live with an impoverished family on a run down council estate for one whole year. Give him the raw experience of having to live from hand to mouth, day in and day out with no hope that life is ever going to change before you die because the system fails.
Kwasi Kwarteng - YUK. Did Samuel L. Jackson base his character in 'Django Unchained' on this muppet?
I remember it well.... Had good and bad times and always described time out of work claiming dole... PRISON TIME ON OUTSIDE....bad times. Well said Ken
Well said Ken;-) much friendship mate ;-)
Anyone trying to defend the undefendable has to lie like kwarteng.
It's all bloody true and four years on ...its worse 🤬
Have you any evidence for that statement?
I'd not come across this before. They don't want their eyes opened. They prefer to look away.
it is not about race ,it is about class, caste if you like!
THANK GOD FOR KEN LOACH. Kwarteng's sentence "there is a place for social commentary" is actually quite revealing...
Yeah, he's carrying on like its fiction.
I'd like a government that removes the need for such social commentary. At least Dickens' work resulted in positive change. Modern Tories just deny everything and make things worse. They're taking us back to Victorian times.
What's the point? He knows, he just doesn't care
His depiction was totally real !
The government of food banks. True. Kwasi is saying that because they are voted in it means they are the best option. Here he says 'i haven't heard of any stories like this'. Just because he hasn't heard of this, doesn't make it not true. So so sad
Notice the sly dig at Ken at the start of the interview from the Tory?... Guru-Murphy - "Have you seen the film?"... Tory - "Don't think many people have." As charming as a Tory twat can be.
hi if you have serious health ;problems and didn't get any points you will relate to this film I do. very true to life
A Black Tory, leave him be he is busy fighting his own contradictions
Not a smidgen of empathy in that man. Discusting!
This man is unbelievable in his thinking !! 👍🏿
For this Tory to say this isn't happening is unbelievable, what is he trying to say that all these people who've had sanctions imposed on them are telling lies. Who is he anyway, must have been put forward for the interview because he'd be instantly forgettable and we wouldn't know who to ascribe such utter rubbish to.
i agree thats all they say pure fucking SCUM
Probably just a random back bencher selected through a game of Eeny Meeny Miny Mo.
petertyson2 no
It is really tough at Eton.
Is it Tomkinson-Smythe's turn to get buggered today, Housemaster?
His private education obviously avoided Dickens then? A social commentary by a former Parliamentary reporter. With the aim to provide the facts and motivation to solve real issues of poverty and injustice.
Did Ken Loach made a mistake there? He said that 1000100 food banks parcels were handed out, it seems way to low.
Thanks Ken.
How do Tory's find these horribly classist people with this much precision? It's so blatant now.
It's not aged well has it??? Learned nothing...
Music at the beginning anyone
Ken will return and Kier will burn.
Bravo ken
Tories are bred to have no empathy or compassion. Same as it ever was and is. Ken Loach is a King for the people.
Typical politician, full of shit! Completely detached from reality. Shame on the regime! Thank you Ken keep up the good work, you are a true humanitarian.
The big difference here is that Ken loach has researched, been part of and spoken to ordinary people going through the benefits system and all the suffering it causes. Kwartang hasn't done any of these things because he dismisses them off hand because, like the Tory party(and the government as a whole) they have become so removed from the lives of ordinary folk. Government is a business, politicians don't go into politics to represent the people, they go into politics to represent the wealthy elites interests, consequently(and deliberately)profiteering from a corrupt system that is geared to serve a few while forcing the majority to fund it.
”Is it THAT bad.?” Is going to be exactly how it gets that bad. Channel 4 news in a nutshell.
Brexit. 23 June 2016.
Best day in recent British political history.
The Tories have criminalised poverty!!!
There's always money for war though.
Always.
How's it going UK?
Open KK's eyes to UK poverty?!!.....fat chance; he's a Tory.....Capitalism, Business, Greed! Always been the same, eh?!!
It’s time to END the Tories
Kwasi will never accept reality or care!
This dude is little more than a rhetorical dodge for his party.. I wonder where he stood whilst his peers were calling Mandela a terrorist?
