Exactly. It's just a lazy assumption with nothing to back it up. In fact, lock-down destroyed a lot of lives. The curves all followed a similar pattern whether a country locked down or not.

The immigration figures have now been released These guys have completely and utterly changed a 1000yr old society beyond recognition. Immigration has become a totemic issue and a huge problem. The Tories have imported more people in 10 yrs than ever moved to the U.K. in history. Our kids will never own a home, never earn a decent wage, find getting a job very challenging and will probably never qualify for a state pension because the Tories imported the third world
Far more than that, they've set an example: ANYONE who kicks the door down stays, forever. The growth from this will become exponential - and is the surrender flag to a full scale invasion and colonisation.
Every time I go into any area of population I am reminded of how much change the Tories have made to England. The country has turned into a giant,open refugee camp.I will never forgive them for that.
Look a little deeper, the pigeons of imperialism are come home to roost. If the west interfered less in the politics of other countries the world might not be so unstable.

Forgive me but I think you are blaming the victims, the problems are systemic and world wide. capitalism doesn’t not work for the many just the few at the top. Everyone is an economic migrant, just look at the Brits who buy property abroad. Going over-there and taking their houses 🤷🏼♀️
@@karenbaxter2318 WTF when has excess migration been systemic and world wide capitalism problem? People always want to improve their quality of life from poorer nations to richer.

I guess i am referring to the interference that the old colonial system caused in so many countries around the world and the problems many of them are now experiencing are a direct consequence of such and that so many of the immigrants/asylum seekers are escaping. The problems in our country are in some way due to loss of jobs because the profit margins are greater by out-sourcing the work to other countries. It’s a complex issue but studies have shown that most immigrants put more in to this country than they take out. So many coming here now are fleeing wars and corrupt countries that adopted our way of doing things. And I know I don’t have the same quality of life as my neighbour.

So Karen increasing the supply of workers by importing more (even though they might contribute more) by definitions reduces wages. This is basic supply and demand. This is why the Tories/Big Business want to increase immigration. And you are kind of supporting their strategy. The poor working class suffer. What we actually need is a combination of better work experience/apprenticeships to get the unemployed back to work. We don't need more university degrees. I believe a lot of mental health issues are due to a lack of direction and work. What we do NOT need is importing more and more cheap labour. As for old "colonial" system - in 20 years time historians will be making the case that in many ways the British colonial system benefited many people by bringing the rule of law into some areas that were run by despotic tribal systems. The assumption is the British somehow came into to a paradise and destroyed it. When the historical pendulum swings the other way they will try to analyse what was there before colonialism. Sometimes I am sure the British Empire did not bring sunlit uplands, but in other cases yes. I hope we live long enough to see these studies !

Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a general election for July 4th. - Parliament will be dissolved in a few days, leading to a six-week campaign. - Lee Cain, a key strategist in the 2019 election, and Tom McTake, political editor, discuss the implications. - The government is 24% behind in opinion polls and facing numerous challenges, including NHS waiting lists and small boat crossings. - Inflation has decreased but may rise again by the end of the year. - Sunak's five big promises: halving inflation (achieved), growing the economy (achieved), cutting NHS waiting lists (not achieved), stopping small boats (not achieved). - The government has record high taxes and is the first since WWII to leave with lower disposable incomes. - NHS waiting times have quadrupled since 2010. - Sunak's main campaign focus will be on the Rwanda immigration plan. - The mood is dismal compared to the optimistic 2019 election. - The 2019 election was driven by the promise of change and getting Brexit done. - Keir Starmer, Labour leader, faces an enthusiasm deficit but is likely to win. - Labour's success depends on quickly diagnosing and addressing key issues. - Potential for new political movements, like Dominic Cummings' start-up party, but first-past-the-post system makes it difficult. - Reform party could influence election outcomes but unlikely to become a governing party. - Sunak's technocratic approach and failure to deliver on key issues have hurt his standing. - The Conservative Party's project lacks depth and clear direction post-Boris Johnson. - Main message: The Conservative Party faces a significant defeat due to unmet promises and a lack of clear direction, while Labour's success hinges on quickly addressing public dissatisfaction.
‘Change’. Another empty political buzz word. Utterly devoid of meaning. I’ll tell you what the people want. They want to be listened to. And also, the government and civil service needs to do what it’s bloody told to do.
God, are you still sore about Brexit? If there was another referendum tomorrow I’d be first in the queue to reaffirm my vote. We were told that we were conspiracy theorists on an EU army. Really? From where I am standing that’s exCtly what they are going to do. I do now actually hope we do rejoin do that remoaners get sent to the frontlines. Then we won’t have to listen the constant whines and complaining and as you said, it will knock out a whole voting block that persistently votes against their own interest. You are welcome.
My advice to people, for what it's worth... Don't vote. Decrease legitimacy of politicians by making it obvious that they may have won, but that their support base is small and reliant only on tribal loyalties. They will have power, but they will know - deep down - that they are not 'liked'.
I dont think they care about being liked! They just want to feather their own nests. I’d like a box on the ballot paper that says ‘none of the above’ that way maybe we might get a proper democracy rather than the sham they keep offering.
Best to split the vote share as even under any new system it will be the same clownshow in charge, they don't care if you don't vote, they just need a bigger number than the other party and you have just wasted an opportunity for another 5 years.
Cain seems to think that a policy (like lockdowns) should only be assessed by its popularity at that moment in time. The disconnect in Westminster between cause (lockdown) and effect (sky-high inflation) is delusional. Talk about groupthink
Could be better, but could also be a lot worse.. Compare Moscow's modernism with large parts of the rest of the country where a third of homes don't even have indoor toilets.
No lockdown would have been far, far more devastating. There were no good options, lockdown was the least worst. Anti-lockdown nonsense is just far right conspiracy theory idiocy.
It’s the dusty they inhabit They don’t mix with the rest of us. They don’t hear the conversations but they honestly believe what the spout. These clowns influence policy I am still waiting for HS2 and a new hospital
But most of the lefties are convinced they are FR. They really haven't got a clue but then they believe that the Labour Party are for the working class.
You sound just like the Bennites in the 80s. 'Labour lost because they weren't real socialists and weren't left wing enough'. Amazing how Bennite the Tories have become.
Second, obviously. Starts out with one side’s decisive victories (Brexit, 2019 GE) inflicted by charismatic leading personalities (BoJo) but they lose anyway.
@@dazzle4708 As with the Punic wars, only time will tell. If the Tories recover (in two or three Parliaments' time), then it will have been more akin to the Carthaginians' loss in the first Punic war. If they suffer a further devastating defeat in the 2028 or 2029 general election (akin to the third Punic war) and pass from the scene entirely, then your guess for 2024 would be right.
Refreshing honesty from the interviewees. The government's awful record shows that they should step aside. Sunak is decent and hard working but we need a government to deliver.
I don’t trust Starmer. My feeling is he is a neocon approved individual who is likely to follow the US into more trouble. He not a socialist, rather what used to be called a Tory wet?

I believe a lot of mental health issues are due to a lack of direction and work. What we do NOT need is importing more and more cheap labour. As for old "colonial" system - in 20 years time historians will be making the case that in many ways the British colonial system benefited many people by bringing the rule of law into some areas that were run by despotic tribal systems. The assumption is the British somehow came into to a paradise and destroyed it. When the historical pendulum swings the other way they will try to analyse what was there before colonialism. Sometimes I am sure the British Empire did not bring sunlit uplands, but in other cases yes. I hope we live long enough to see these studies !
@@karenbaxter2318 Or perhaps 1834 when we made slavery illegal through the British Empire - improving lives for millions. The West African squadron destroying the Atlantic slave trade - the most authentic "BLM" movement in history..... I could continue...
Deliver, Leveling, blah, blah, new terms, same old spin.
Never mind your yap, We do not trust the main parties for telling lies. It needs a complete change to listen to the people and a lesser companies and what they need. Thats a basic. the main is "THE TRUTH".
Please no Labour government 😭
Looking forward to cuts in inheritance tax are we?
This poor fool actually believes the lockdowns saved lives 😂
Starmer shall be the most undeserving PM for a generation even taking into account May and the two unelected Melts after her..
Undeserving? He's very effective at pmqs, has a great cv of public service.. Is a consummate centrist, which is exactly what we need since we're so divided and polarised on an island with natural borders that should have great potential for a sense of unity.
Worse than Truss. Is that actually possible?
@@dna9838
Blah, blah, blah!
His 'honeymoon period' shall last a week..
@@scotlandtheinsane3359 you're going to ensure that and not give your part of consensus so he can actually get on with the job? This tribalism will just hurt us all
@dna9838
Tell that to Labour.
And no, I'm NEVER just going to fall in line.
Never did that with the Tories, so you can bet your ass I won't with these clowns..
Here's a ChatGPT summary:
- Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a general election for July 4th.
- Parliament will be dissolved in a few days, leading to a six-week campaign.
- Lee Cain, a key strategist in the 2019 election, and Tom McTake, political editor, discuss the implications.
- The government is 24% behind in opinion polls and facing numerous challenges, including NHS waiting lists and small boat crossings.
- Inflation has decreased but may rise again by the end of the year.
- Sunak's five big promises: halving inflation (achieved), growing the economy (achieved), cutting NHS waiting lists (not achieved), stopping small boats (not achieved).
- The government has record high taxes and is the first since WWII to leave with lower disposable incomes.
- NHS waiting times have quadrupled since 2010.
- Sunak's main campaign focus will be on the Rwanda immigration plan.
- The mood is dismal compared to the optimistic 2019 election.
- The 2019 election was driven by the promise of change and getting Brexit done.
- Keir Starmer, Labour leader, faces an enthusiasm deficit but is likely to win.
- Labour's success depends on quickly diagnosing and addressing key issues.
- Potential for new political movements, like Dominic Cummings' start-up party, but first-past-the-post system makes it difficult.
- Reform party could influence election outcomes but unlikely to become a governing party.
- Sunak's technocratic approach and failure to deliver on key issues have hurt his standing.
- The Conservative Party's project lacks depth and clear direction post-Boris Johnson.
- Main message: The Conservative Party faces a significant defeat due to unmet promises and a lack of clear direction, while Labour's success hinges on quickly addressing public dissatisfaction.
‘Change’. Another empty political buzz word. Utterly devoid of meaning. I’ll tell you what the people want. They want to be listened to. And also, the government and civil service needs to do what it’s bloody told to do.
If all those people who emphatically voted for Brexit have decided to stop voting, then the world's gotten better.
God, are you still sore about Brexit? If there was another referendum tomorrow I’d be first in the queue to reaffirm my vote. We were told that we were conspiracy theorists on an EU army. Really? From where I am standing that’s exCtly what they are going to do.
I do now actually hope we do rejoin do that remoaners get sent to the frontlines. Then we won’t have to listen the constant whines and complaining and as you said, it will knock out a whole voting block that persistently votes against their own interest. You are welcome.
Voting? #IDoNotConsent
We want social change they are unable or unwilling to deliver it look at the fuss that’s been made when they were told to stop butchering kids
Zero seats.
Is yesterday's video gone? Because of the sound?
Read Blind and then Seeing by Jose Saramago to see where opting out of voting gets us. It gets us to totalitarian. We must vote.
that guy thinks that lockdowns were good..
My advice to people, for what it's worth...
Don't vote. Decrease legitimacy of politicians by making it obvious that they may have won, but that their support base is small and reliant only on tribal loyalties.
They will have power, but they will know - deep down - that they are not 'liked'.
I dont think they care about being liked! They just want to feather their own nests. I’d like a box on the ballot paper that says ‘none of the above’ that way maybe we might get a proper democracy rather than the sham they keep offering.
Best to split the vote share as even under any new system it will be the same clownshow in charge, they don't care if you don't vote, they just need a bigger number than the other party and you have just wasted an opportunity for another 5 years.
George Galloway for PM
Isn’t it time you admitted that Brexit is a stupid idea?
Cain seems to think that a policy (like lockdowns) should only be assessed by its popularity at that moment in time. The disconnect in Westminster between cause (lockdown) and effect (sky-high inflation) is delusional. Talk about groupthink
It's funny, because just looking at Lee Cain you couldn't really tell he has no soul.
I was able to listen until the bloke started talking about how great lockdown was and how many lives it saved... what a bunch of BS
Same. Deluded
Agreed
Sweden finally proved that, longterm, lockdowns achieved sweet FA.
Majority of UK is impoverished outside of London.
But happier than people in London.
Could be better, but could also be a lot worse.. Compare Moscow's modernism with large parts of the rest of the country where a third of homes don't even have indoor toilets.
WE WILL GET THE SAME WEF LEADER, PARLIAMENT ARE ONLY WEF PUPPETS

Settle down, Beavis
Lee Cain continues to hold the farcical view that lockdown saved lives. It cost lives and destroyed futures. Lee Cain is an awful human being.
No lockdown would have been far, far more devastating. There were no good options, lockdown was the least worst. Anti-lockdown nonsense is just far right conspiracy theory idiocy.
These guys sound deluded.
It’s the dusty they inhabit
They don’t mix with the rest of us. They don’t hear the conversations but they honestly believe what the spout. These clowns influence policy
I am still waiting for HS2 and a new hospital
****industry
These are movers and shakers??? Do not think so...??
Ppl died bc of lockdown. Another one living in parallel universe
rubbish.
I hate how people interchange the word "economy" and "stock market"
It’s not even that, the Tories aren’t right wing. They’re not even mildly conservative.
But most of the lefties are convinced they are FR. They really haven't got a clue but then they believe that the Labour Party are for the working class.
You sound just like the Bennites in the 80s. 'Labour lost because they weren't real socialists and weren't left wing enough'. Amazing how Bennite the Tories have become.
The support they really lacked was support from the blob
They ballsed up everything with Brexit and austerity.
Why is Europe doing worse than we are then?
This clowns commentary on lockdown is shockingly misguided. Let it go, you messed up. Apologise and move on.
Asking a politician's point of view is like asking an escaping octopus to let us see where he is going...
good does that mean we can salt the ground to stop them sprouting up again
A "Carthaginian" defeat, certainly. The key question to be answered, though, is: in which of the three Punic wars?
Second, obviously. Starts out with one side’s decisive victories (Brexit, 2019 GE) inflicted by charismatic leading personalities (BoJo) but they lose anyway.
@@dazzle4708 As with the Punic wars, only time will tell.
If the Tories recover (in two or three Parliaments' time), then it will have been more akin to the Carthaginians' loss in the first Punic war.
If they suffer a further devastating defeat in the 2028 or 2029 general election (akin to the third Punic war) and pass from the scene entirely, then your guess for 2024 would be right.
Tory tears are delicious 😂
There is no democratic solution to the problems we face.
COST OF LIVING CRISIS, this is such a posh boy video,

We know whats really going on. Come on...
We have lost our labour and con we need Reform. We need a party that goes the peoples way
It’s not Boris, it’s Johnson. Theresa asked me to point that out.
Refreshing honesty from the interviewees. The government's awful record shows that they should step aside. Sunak is decent and hard working but we need a government to deliver.
Decent? He's pandering to the far right, and demonising the ill.
Tory party delenda est
Much better. I can hear it now.
Things can only get better..Vote Labour
I don’t trust Starmer. My feeling is he is a neocon approved individual who is likely to follow the US into more trouble. He not a socialist, rather what used to be called a Tory wet?
