10 Shocking Royal Family Assassination Close Calls
ua-cam.com/video/nI20bYueSqQ/v-deo.html
The thing I like about the Royal Family is they serve in the forces to protect their family the UK people.
The biggest failure in modern politics is the poor very underpaid mps CHANGE the laws to help the select people in there pockets.
What I like about UK reform is they want to CHANGE the LAWS to protect their family....the UK PEOPLE.
These are pretty sound picks, but how did Suella Braverman miss out?
(Jedi mind trick wave)
Because it never happened …….
The lack of coverage on her and Kwateng is very concerning
A bonus failure. "I have in my hand a piece of paper" Neville Chamberlain on the toilet as he watched his career go down the pan in 1938
A poor politician but that bit of paper gave Britain more time to build up the navy, army and air force!!!
Disturbingly most of these will be from the last 12 years of Conservative government - though one could suggest the biggest failure in British political history would be the failure of Guy Fawkes to complete the job.
If he had succeede, there would have been an enormous crater where the modern houses of parliament, now stand. Look it up on UA-cam. Worse still it would have caused a civil war, worse than The English Civil War or The War Of The Roses.
I would’ve put the government’s handling of Covid at number 1 to be honest.
Quite right. Lockdown proved to be a total and utter failure.
You could put literally everything the tories have done in the last 10 years on here
David Cameron (BREXIT) will go down in history as one of the worst PMs in history and Boris Johnson a idiot opportunist that put his own political ambitions ahead of the UK's future.
Same with labour
@@craigwinfarrah labour haven't been in government for the past 10 years
@@craigwinfarrah Labour isn't the ruling government.
Liz Truss, the Queen Of Ruin did more damage to the country's finances in her brief tenure as PM than any government of either party previously.
@@robjones2408 same party different name
You forgot the duck house, during the expenses scandal. One rich MP brought it, and the ducks in his pond, never used it. 😁
As someone affected by the Tuition fees situation, I could have taken a gap year and gone under the new scheme but ended up skipping the gap year and going to uni before the change, I wish I had gone for the new scheme.
Because it's about how you pay it back and the repayment threshold, I'm much worse off now than if I'd gone under the newer scheme.
The failure wasn't the policy so much as how it was presented to the media and communicated to people.
I’m gonna say this. No politician in America would ever step down so easily. One struggle and the prime minister quits? Anyone wanna explain why there’s no perseverance in this job?
One reason is basically our governing Conservative Party are ruthless with their leaders and any major mistakes can quickly lead to a PM’s downfall
I wouldn’t say Boris gave up his position easily; they were involved in so many: the Rwanda scheme, in covid they got caught fast checking their mates for ppe contracts, they got caught breaking lockdown rules and having parties, they all said terrible things and got caught lying to the media constantly about how the UK was performing economically and in covid compared to Europe and one mp got done for being a nonce.
Yeah, there is even some shame left in the UK unlike in the US, which is why you had Trump.
Because the presidency isn’t the same as the PM. The PM is more like the speaker of the House. It more analogue to when Jon Bohner resigned as speaker and Paul Ryan took over
The PM is more reliant on the support of the party and MPs than the president is on his party. While the president can antagonise some of his party and aren’t so compromised by resignations. In the UK, the PM relies on a majority of support from MP’s and if they don’t get that support they can see themselves out the door. This was done to thatcher in 1990 after the party felt she was a liability come election time and so a leadership contest was held and she was ousted
Boris took more care about his hair than he did with the country. 😆
Tony Blair's 'weapon of mass destruction' Iraq invasion must be number 1.
Johnson putting the son of a KGB agent into the HOL and partying with him. The Russian money that flows through the Tory party and London. Johnson sitting on the Russia report and their interference in the election. Sunak and his Mrs still receiving money from their business in Russia. Then you have Johnson running to Ukraine to be Zelenskys pal. Despicable.
Certainly number 1 in human cost
Boris Johnson was so much of a scandal That even in the Netherlands his broadcast was a joke
Every time I see and/or hear Boris Johnson I think of some sketch from Monty Pythons
12 years of the Tory party, enough said.
here here
13 now
@@pauls3204 still living in 2022 mate make that 13
Theyve been in power since I was 13. I have no future here and cannot get an appointment for anything anymore.
NHS is collapsing and I'm worried about how I'm going to get healthcare in the future.
@@francescagregori4237 they have since I was 15, it’s unfair on our generation as we will have to pay for the mistakes of the older generation
I would have put the Suez Crisis at number one on this list. Not only did it spell doom for Anthony Eden as Prime Minister, but his stubbornness in trying to manufacture a war in the Middle East under false pretences had far reaching consequences. It meant that London was the subject of the first threat of a nuclear strike by the Soviet Union and it was in effect the beginning ofa period where Britain was irrelevant on the world stage. As someone who participated in the British involvement at Suez put it in retrospect:
"It was a total, utter disaster and it took us 20 years to recover our rightful place as someone who is not the lord and master of a particular region, but a friend to those states who emerged after centuries of us and the French ruling the roost,"
Nothing involving Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, John Major, Tony Blair or Gordon Brown?
which one was the russian spy?
The asbo involved blairs government and therefore Blair
@@raypsychodad There are bigger wrongdoings by the Blair gov, including invading Iraq & massively increasing immigration.
On political stuff I’ve noticed Watch Mojo have a very real left wing bias problem.
@Cobbler91 probably because left wing policies are a lot more human friendly, as is why its more popular with younger generations
The “Cash for ash” RHI scandal should be on this
The Profumo scandal better be #1
No Windrush?
2003 Iraq War? Chamberlain peace agreement with Hitler?
Only 10 failures in British Politics?
There maybe more coming up in the future
@@westburnworld. Maybe?
We will be guaranteed many more failings.
@@timglennon6814 it's so sad about what's been going on in the US & UK especially pollitcaly & by the way I live in New Zealand but I am very interested in foreign politics
@@westburnworld. The U.K. has been f*cked since Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister from the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s, and it didn’t get any better when Tony Blair was Prime Minister with his Labour Party, and now back with the Conservatives and it’s got even worse.
@@westburnworld how much longer do we have to endure this failed Tory government?
Chamberlin's piece of paper, Churchill losing the khaki election in 1945, Major ERF and black Wednesday, Johnson partygate, the current state of the Northern Irish Assembly... The list is endless.
Yet people will still vote the tory toerags in
But what's the alternative? I don't know why but KS makes my flesh crawl. I have never voted Tory in my (long) life but I can't vote for a party whose leader gives me the creeps.
@@SuzyQ334 gives you the creeps you would take liars and chests over "creeps"
When I think of political failures I immediately think of Neil Kinnock. He just went on and on losing.
Welsh Windbag
That was just because of Thatcher being so wildly popular
they maybe failures but jokes on us because they're the ones walking away with thousands and thousands of pounds to be a failure.. 🙄
So true! Just look at how much serial liar Alexander De Pfeffel Johnson has banked since departing in disgrace. I doubt ‘Boris’ is sat in a freezing house, in debt after Christmas or eating from a food bank.
Tories are Tories. Vermin. Self-serving scum. Same old story since 1979. It’s their voters who fall for the same Conservative lies, same misery and same con men I hate just as much if not more
Notice how only the more modern failures are missing. Both parties have had failures in the past.
This is why I'll vote Count Binface.
@@user-it6iw4lc7z Sod off.
ALL OF IT .....
Lol mostly in the last 10 years
That cycle path John Major and ERM. For balance, Harold Wilson and International computers Ltd., a disastrous attempt to compete with IBM.
The Poll Tax riot was beautiful. The Met charged in and got their arse handed back to them.
Oh you poor deluded fool. keep taking your meds. I wonder when crooked Nicola Sturgeon will get her arse handed to her? I look forward to the day when crooked Nicola is thrown in jail.
only 10??? 🙄🙄
How is Iraq not on this list?
It's not on there because that was under a Labour government. As far as the left is concerned that never happened. Only the Tories have ever done anything bad.
@@Anu_Sol Read the title of the video. It’s not exclusive to one political party.
*Only* 10?
So... Just modern examples?
Except for Suez, which was in 1956.
@@andrewjones575 Still fairly modern, compared to the history of the British Isles.
Were you hoping to see the South Sea Bubble or the Combination Act?
How come Ireland isn’t mentioned once?
I'm not British, but it seems David Cameron shat the bed as a cheap stunt, then threw the shit on the British people, then left the room.
I never worried about how badly I might be if I became the new Prime Minister (not a problem I’m ever likely to have) but if I was then the six weeks of Liz Truss would be the worst case nightmare.
I voted out because of human rights violations. Some foreign people are mistreated by employers not giving them the money they legally earn and so weren't getting the correct wage and some were place in high rented places that were in the most disgusting conditions. Finally how some of them were mistreated in human trafficking. As you know 30 people froze to death one of them was a 15 years old boy in a lorry and that was very poor treatment. Also, the rich MPs don't want to pay their taxes and so place their money in overseas bank accounts. Strikes are not enough and there will be a government rebellion like the Royal families of France and Russia learn the hard way.
The Suez Canal was owned and controlled by Britain and France since it was built by themselves. When Nasser seized control of it both Britain and France tried to regain their control but were prevented by their "friends" in the UN. They did not "invade Egypt", they just attempted to regain investments which were rightfully theirs.
It wasn't theirs. They built a canal, not rights a country
Nasser did not seize control of the Suez Canal. He quite rightly nationalized it.
Please may the comments be as civil as possible
Pretty anti-Tory, but I'll give you some of Labour's biggest failures, let's see: the Iraq War, the Winter of Discontent, the devaluation of the pound in 1967, the rejection of "In Place of Strife" white paper, and I could go on.
Has any one asked what this is going to do to her? Come on, she’s one of us.
At least I had liz trust on there gotta be the biggest joke for politicians as well as for people like us
Pretty much calling all Brexit voters far right, Good Job 🤔
Cameron agreed to a referendum to appease the hard right tory mps that’s what the videos saying
@@kitthompson2221 The ERG.
That was a mistake. They were all either far-right or incredibly thick.
@@zenex1741condescending attitudes from remain supporters like this is what lost you the referendum.
@@BossySwan It's not condescending, just an observation. I suppose I did leave out the incredibly rich, but those are the only 3 groups of people who voted for Brexit.
most scandalous:
#1 when QE2 hosted donald trump
#2 papadum pam
Pork markets! 🐷
Where is dizzy Miss Lizzy now?
She will be in her counting house counting the cash she made by collapsing the pound.
*_that is a d I s g r a C e_*
Priti Patel is thinkin about sortin the deportin crisis
Nick Clegg made his deal with the devil and made young Britons pay the price for his quest for power.
Would have been funny if this list was just a day by day account of Liz Truss' time in office...
I dare you to setup a list for UK political success stories. Nobody wants to talk about success in politics.
Please spare us that gormless Truss gurn.
The thumbnail is infuriating!
Should have changed the headline to "The Muppet Show"!!!!!
Prime mortgage crisis and banker bailouts?
ASBOs made the list? Really!
#1 allowing the conservatives to win since 2010
We still regret voting conservative in 2019 now 😅
Am not far right n am a brexiteer we haven't had brexit it wasn't implemented
Everything since the Tories came into power has been a failure
1776 - Britain loses the American colonies.
Liz Truss
Biggest failure: The Tories
Brexit is bollocks.
I came here to see how left wing biased this list is. Labour should be in all 5 places of the top 5. 😂
Blairs weapons of mass destruction should deffo be on here. But it would be absurd to claim that labour should jave the top 5. Then again I'm under no illusion, I knowni don't belong to the tory upper crust. Its embarrassing that working class folks vote for them, as though it they would all become wealthy landowners 🤣🤣
Yeah good video but the bias makes it rather cringe for me
Brexit occupies 1-10
Brexit.
Try all conservatives. Every single 1 of them
Labour have done far worse mate
@@simonlhill-si4sx they def haven't. Conservatives r the worst
Some of these were not explained well cuz they were so biased
Oh do one on saying only the “far right” supported a Brexit vote. Plenty of objective evidence that an overwhelming majority wanted a vote on the issue to sort it out. Jesus Christ, is this the video produced by the Guardian. You should be embarrassed at this.
The word 'spooking' has racist origins. Use another word instead such as 'scaring'
pro left nonsense
I think boris handled it all just fine...
I think your talking crap..
@@audreymcgready4329 I agree with you. Boris was a disgrace
Boris like Maggie will be looked back on in 30 yrs as being one of the best Modern Primeministers.
Tell me one good thing he did. He gave ppe contracts to his mates during covid, he held parties during lockdown and look at the state of the NHS that’s he’s left it in
10/10 satire, you already got 2 of them xD
Boris Becker? You are a Muppet.
When I saw Brexit listed I new this list couldn't be taken seriously. Only them Gen-Z kids still believe that Brexit was a failure. Given them another 20 years to grow up and they will understand.
Pidgin Pattel
Crooked Nicola Sturgeon should be No 1 on this list.
