Rishi's Recession and Chaos - All Part of the Plan?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Last week #rishisunak repeatedly claimed that the UK had turned the corner and that his unspecified plan was working. It was also announced that the UK had been in #recession during the last two quarters of 2023. Sunak's previous employer Goldman Sachs published a damning report blaming #brexit for much of the UK's current economic problems.
Social services, the NHS, schools, the Courts, prisons and the military are all desperately in need of further funding and better management. At the same time businesses continue to suffer.
In two by elections at #wellingborough and at #kingsword the Tories were trounced whilst #reformuk gained 11% in one and 13% of the votes in the other showing themselves to be. aserious threat to the Conservatives at the general election especially if #nigelfarage returns as leader.
Coming back to the UK from Thailand this week reminds me of what a 3rd world country the UK has now become.
The problem is that the Tories have done so much damage to the country that whoever gets in is going to have an impossible time sorting it out 😡
Trouble is it will take at least ten years to repair the damage the Tories have done. If Labour get in will they get two sessions?
@@charlie01546 It seems to me, they break as much as possible to make repairing harder, and get the peopleto believe it is as bad under Labour as it is under Tories.
Beside the UK has behaved in a way that the EU will be very reluctant to believe anything a British Government says or signs. All the Goodwill is used up.
The UK is not trustworthy at all any more.
The "my dog ate my homework excuse" "it was the Tories" is not good enough.
When Labour get the keys to number 10 I wonder what they will find ?😢 I have a feeling that things will turn out to be much worse than we could possibly have imagined. 🤔🤔🤔
Yes that's what I've been thinking.
How on earth is anyone going to turn this mess round.
In 1997, lucky Blair received a Golden Economic Tory Legacy, the books balanced, small debt but crucially up to £20 billion per year SURPLUS on the national budget.
But Brown blew the lot and went on a wild PFI borrowing spree and wrecked the nation's finances. Millions sucking on the taxpayer's teat.
But then 2010 and no money left but huge debts and deficit.
The present occupants will have turned it into a HMO. that’s the great Tory idea to solve the housing crisis turn Govt buildings into 3rd party run (mrs sunaks family) don’t want to be accused of being a rogue landlord.🤫
All of Thatcher's pigeons are coming home to roost. Its only taken 45 years but we're now up shit creek without a paddle.
I noticed how many things actually manufactured in Thailand are marked with and made to European Union standard. If a country on the other side of the world realises what an important trading partner Europe is, Why doesn't brexit Britain 😢
After fourteen years of totally inadequate government the country is on its knees - shocking.
Hope you had a wonderful time with your family
Thanks, I did 😊
Congratulations to three years of brilliant work!
Thank you!
Thank you too! 😊
Recession and getting stuffed in elections is all part of little Rishi,s plan, what a genius.
He and his "mates", don't give toss about this Country...only their Billion-Dollar Investments Portfolio...trouble is..SIR Kier's mob aren't much better..
It would be interesting to have a second Brexit referendum now we know that we've been lied to on an industrial scale.
Think that would be a rhetorical referendum.
@@david-pb4bi eh???
@@stevecoppin6396 I could only imagine anybody with a scrap of intelligence wouldn’t vote remain.
It might be interesting, but without preparation, it would be foolhardy.
In Ireland, every amendment to our Constitution requires a Referendum. We're well used to them, we'll have two next month.
You need to recognise the dynamic that, whatever the issue, a part of the population will vote it down, simply because of unhappiness with the government that proposed it.
That said, Ireland has a Referendum Commission. It's purpose is to inform the electorate on the issue. They engage Senior Counsel to write the case, for and against, in plain Irish and English.
The Government also takes the precaution of publishing the Heads of the Bill that will be introduced in our Dáil ( Parliament) if the amendment is passed.
Referenda are precarious. You could easily lose a second Referendum.
@@genghisthegreat2034 Very good point.
There is a lot of positive energy in "third " world countries. The poorest people often show amazing resilience and cheerfulness. By comparison we are sad, indeed.
Well, in a couple of years we could well be a third world country... and we'll all be more cheerful for it... there's always an upside.
@@kenjepson1908 Frolicking with Unicorns in the sunlit uplands replaced?
But it is true, a lot of our depression is due to first world problems.
And I am in Germany.
So...we need to get a better attitude.
everywhere in first world countries.
@@kenjepson1908 indeed, we are heading that way but I think we will lack the skills to adapt to adversity and be happy. I think there will be a lot of bitterness, resentment and casting of blame, probably in the wrong direction. I am not suggesting being poor makes people happy but rather that other people have skills which allow them to be happy despite their poverty, skills which we could learn.
Hopefully people are finally waking up. Unfortunately the damage is done and cant be fixed for years.
Britain is regressing back to the 70s.... The 1870s!
..and sMogg can't wait 😊
Starmer says he is going to carry on with the Tories fiscal policy. You know what they say, the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. 🤪
He has to and any new government has to initially carry on with the predecessors plan. Expect some changes as soon as he can ditch them.
Here is hoping you are right. @@philipdouglas5911
@@philipdouglas5911 what do the politicians care if more and more people fall into poverty? The answer is they chucked one of the only politicians who cared out of the Labour Party.
Rishi's number one priority is to make Rishi richer. Mission accomplished.
I love this man...a class act. Tells it like it is.
If you mean me, thank you very much 😊
Well done Michael, keep up the good work
I couldn't agree more. Thank goodness for the likes of Michael.
The UK overlords want to return to feudalism with toffs in castles and SUVs, and everybody else barefoot and in rags bowing to them, grateful that their betters know what’s best for old Blighty.
....and they're almost there....
I don't think we've ever left it - and the majority of Brits are too apathetic/uneducated to change the course
I retired to Thailand at 58. You can see why.
I love the way you describe the difference between a recession and a technical recession.
Yes, that was both helpful and hilarious!
Absolutely right again Michael. I've seen Bangkok change to what it is now. The transport system is fantastic. Underground, sky train connecting to beautiful new train station from Chiang Mai etc. I even get 50% discount because of my age but it's already very cheap.
Mr Lambert begins the video with his classic British wit. Always edifying to watch your videos, sir. 🎉😊
Thank you 😊
I wish I could subscribe twice to get your numbers up Michael!

Happy anniversary.

Reform just UKİP plus Ex Tory MP's, there will be no difference. The ever turning tide of rubbish. Merci .
Excellent chat Michael 👍🏻
Thanks Gary 😊
Happy anniversary Michael. Well done over the last three years.
Thanks Anthony 😊
Absolutely bang on Michael! My small engineering company was already exporting as much as we ever would to the other side of the planet. Our biggest market was the EU and then, due to the idiotic tory brexit we lost too many sales to be viable. I can't see us reopening now, I'm just too tired and sick of living on an island run by oligarchs, kleptocrats and grifters elected by racists, xenophobes and morons. I've just given up, there's no future for the uk unless we mend relations with our european friends and distance ourselves from this notion of being the US's mini me.

Yep, the bureaucrats and "civil service" destroyed any hope of Brexit being successful. The irony is that the EU will soon collapse under it's own weight............

You mean the "TITANIC SUCCESS", as a Tory MP once described BREXIT !
Also would like to return to you Michael …perhaps a nice cheeky wee claret ….small recognition of your welcome regular insights ….alas I’m also skint 😢 due to atrocities of WM …Must now demand Scotlands Independence 💙💙🏴
There are millions of people hoping that Kier Starmer doesn't really mean it when he says he will make Brexit work. Millions.
Happy anniversary Michael thanks for all you do
Thank you plumduff 😊
They´ve turned the corner, but it is into a dead end full of potholes.
With nothing but boarded up shops, a nail bar and vape place and pavements covered in takeaway wrappers and dog shit
@@Redsleather Fear not. Everything looks fine from the balconies of the Tory country homes
Its name is Brexit Close.
Just like the man who jumped out of an aeroplane and thought shortly before impact: "Everything has gone well so far."
I thought I had heard all the damning criticism of the ridiculous and corrupt clowns we have in our so-called government, LBC's James O'Brien being the gold standard. But you manage to top even him. Well done Michael, you are the best. Keep it up until they are gone for good.
Thank you very much Stephen 😊
great content as always Michael...

You are sooooo right Michael! We are all on the Titanic now!
Happy 3rd anniversary from Ireland Michael...enjoy your weekly insights very much.
BTW my accountant tells me his firm is receiving lots of interest from UK companies to set up in Irl because of EU membership.
Yis need to get your act together...and fast.
Thanks Shane 😊
I agree, because this situation is like having a virus somewhere: if it is not dealt with, it can spread.
The PM is trying the old trick tht if you repeat the lie long enough, eventually it will become true.
I do laugh out loud with your dry humour 😂
Thanks Michael for telling it like it is , but don’t worry the PLAN is working,oh really!
I think every one of your videos is worthy of a gold plaque sir, and the Brexit bracelet was poetic lol !!
Thank you Eamon 😊
Welcome back. Pleased you enjoyed your visit to Thailand.
Happy 3rd Anniversary.
Brilliant video....We've all been sticking to the plan...now look at the state of the country. General Election now 😢
Thank you Susan 😊
Technically I feel so much better off now Rishi’s plan is working. My incomes gone up and I’m spending so so much less mainly cos I can’t afford to eat, heat, services such as entertainment or treats. So I agree with you Michael we have turned the corner.
he meant his rwanda plan is "working".
Michael, your weekly videos have kept me sane over the past three years. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the day you get to 100k subs as your message is as about as important as it gets.
Thank you very much JJ 😊
Thank you Michael, a good talk.
Apparently Sunak has a "cunning plan." It was drawn up by his advisor, one S. Baldrick.
Don't diss Baldrick, he is not a fool!
So true Michael 👍
Is the bottle of champagne one pint or 0,75 l?😂😂😂🎉
Excellent as always, Michael. It seems that Britain is to all intents and purposes, a failed state. There is absolutely NOTHING in UK that is not in dire straits. The current regime has brought the entire political process into disrepute, and totally devalued and abused the very top offices of state. It is a shameful reflection too, that there is a significant proportion of the poulation who seem completely unbothered about the true catastrophic state of the country - indeed some appear to support this scenario, because they would rather die than be in the EU. I've read various comments and seen various vox-pops of people actually expressing that! My personal view is that, the rot in Britain is so far set in, that nothing can now bring about any semblance of a 'normal' country.
Good Morning and congratulations Michael, keeping safe I hope, let's hope Democracy will spring anew in Britain when this corrupt Brexit Tory Government is removed from power. We so badly need to adopt the European form of PR, the present system of FPTP promotes extremes in Politics. I think that all those supporting Democracy should also be worried about the rise of the rebranded Ukippers Reform.
Anyone who thinks Starmer is going to be better is quickly going to be disappointed. No positive change is ever going to happen with either.
I disagree... Brexit isn't the cause of the problems described, it's the consequence. The cause is tory mismanagement, corruption and lack of investment over the past 10 years. The Brexit vote was one of dispair, a vote for change which actually happened, but not the change in the right direction
@@seang2700 Shamelessly Blair reneged on their 2005 GE manifesto to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
It was a tidying up exercise, nothing to see here said the nauseating Peter Hain....and thus,...NO referendum.
Labour = a toxic, poisonous and corrupt, hypocritical party. An utter disgrace.
@@seang2700 That referendum was to remain or not; LIAR Heath had already taken us in 1971/2
via Parliamentary tricks and chicanery. The talk was over...and there was no dissent whatsoever as you see with these
delusional, democracy denying remain fanatics. They are sick and need help.
But from 1/1/73 and what a disaster as we poured billions in to featherbed French Farmers and by 1980, UK fishing industry was decimated.
Thankyou for video Michael, I always appreciate the effort you put in, in agreement with what you say, but I do despair at the damage done to our country and I'm afraid I haven't got much enthusiasm for the future as labour are also side stepping the reasons for the UK's demise, thanks again 👍
Thank you Martin 😊
Surely it's a pint of wine 😉 Much love and appreciation from Ireland 🇮🇪💚☘️🌈
Muscles are bi-valve mollusks that basically pump water in and filter out their food source; mainly micro plankton organisms. Since the Uk water companies have been pumping raw sewage into your seas it’s no wonder that you can’t export muscles 😱
Many congratulations on your magnificent third year anniversary on UA-cam. Please may we have more years as your insights are sorely needed in these tense times. Thailand seems to be doing okay so now we need to get the old country back on track and into the EU again. I for one will not miss the Tory party as a political force - always been liars, racists and worst of all - incompetent.
Thanks Michael 😊
Greetings and commiserations from a relatively sane Greece!
"This little twerp" - was there ever a more accurate description of our alleged leader? Chapeau!
The most accurate description is Tiny Little Turd and I hope is sell by date is coming to a end
So where are the Labour politicians who have ever worked in commerce and industry, held senior managerial positions
or started and run their own business? We all have bitter memories of the disastrous New Labour Project.
It was a dismal, shocking failure.
Sadly, everything that you said is absolutely true.
Yes, wouldn't we love him to be wrong...
Yes , you are correct , it is indeed all part of the plan , and the UK voters have handed it all to them on a plate .
Beecham rail cuts 63/64, austerity, Johnson, Brexit, Truss and Sunak have absolutely destroyed this country. But these people nave made sure that they have feathered their own nests. It’s going to take a massive amount of work to put things back to something like normal. We need to negotiate our return to the EU so that industry want to come to the UK. Use some of the migrants in the economy and train those in different skills.
spot on. Also, they might look a bit dishevelled when they step off the boats, but migrants are often skilled anyway.

One wheel on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees after me
I'm all in flames
At the reins

I'm singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Right around that turn there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
The Tories tune on the UK economy. To be sung at Conference.
We should be exporting governmental expertise . Im sure lots of countries would be keen to follow in the UKs footsteps and learn the secrets of our success . Cameron , May , Johnson , Truss , and Sunak would soon show 'em how its done ! 🇬🇧
Ten years ago or more they said it would rake some years before we would feel the full effects of Osbournes austerity measures. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and the culprits are away making money.
In Thailand, there's a law that foreigners can not own land or more than 50% of businesses.
Not a good law for me or many expats who have bought property and Pattaya bars in their wife's name only to loose it all. However, it does keep the country in the hands of the Thais instead of it all being owned by foreigners like in the UK.

Hi from Bangkok Michael
Hi BB 😊
I was in a small german town having a coffie wiating for my anglo german wife and spent a good while watching people , and comapring it to the small cornish town of penzance wher i live , people looked much healther even the elderly seemed so much fitter riding there normal and e bikes into town to do a little shopping and meeting friends .betterr dressed and make a effort to look there best. chidren seem to be childen too not like in the UK where they seem to be teenagers at 5 . hardly any adults on the street on workdays because there all at work and on the whole the place was super tidy and clean . I then return to my town omg dirty messy everyone looks poor loads of people on the street in workdays and the elderly look v old over wieght and ill ,sure noware is perfect but the difrence is stark
good comment. That shows the reality of how much better off Germany is than the UK better than any economic statistic for one year.
@@russmarkham2197 my father inlaw a proud yourkshire man lived in germany for 55 years even he said my standerd of living has been so much better in germany than the UK
@@neilmcclary Yes, I have a relative living in Berlin. It is very livable there.
Up to 2010, this country still felt like the UK I had grown up in (I was born in '64). Then Cameron and co started their austerity to put things right. They arranged Brexit cause that would also improve things and make us Great Britain again (like the days of the empire lol). It would let us kick out all the foreigners (actually that was mainly eastern Europeans that kept our NHS working properly). Oh what a great country we would have. Now we are screwed!!! We are like a third world country, more broken than I can ever remember. The Tories have sold us down the road while lining their own pockets, looking after their family and friends. I don't recognize my lovely country anymore and it is very sad.
One reason, we are being conned, particularly on Energy, Nat Gas wholesale price today, 2p/kW, yet we pay 10/12 p for gas and up to 30p/kw for electric, plus £300.00 Standing Charge and 5% vat. Yet EDF post profits £1.2 billion in UK and Nat Gris £4.6 billion! Who is kidding who with the price cap of £1600 or £133.00 per month. You work it out
As a retired German economics lecturer, I would like to make the following important addition:
If a state reports GDP growth of, for example, 1.0%, this does not mean that each individual will have 1.0% more.
The rich get 5% or 10% or more that year, the ordinary workers get less, not more! They lose out.
That's exactly what's happening in the UK:
Thanks to their Tory government - even many stupid workers vote for them - the wealth of the rich is increasing on a gigantic scale. We read a few days ago that the rich have doubled their wealth in 4 years.
The poor on the other hand lost despite a small GDP growth.
Try to understand that, Brits, even though you are being dumbed down in your schools.
GDP per capita is a more relevant measure. But, even that isn't a great measure where there is such a large gap between rich and poor in the UK. Perhaps the (statistical) mode GDP per capita?
very true. I think the Brits will never understand now, because their education system is bad and getting worse.
Superb comment.....love the humour..
Thought the German episode nailed the difference between a typical uk high st and one in a provincial German town..
Excellent
