The wierd thing is he's making a good economic point. The wealthy channelling their money out of the country doesn't benefit an economy at all. But increasing consumer spending? That actually can and has worked.
and also the politicians making more cuts towards the ones in need and upping the age of retirement and making the unemployed and disabled suffer more coz they have less.
Basically the reasons why the Greeks didn’t want to pay it back was, they felt that it was largely EU regulation and private business that did the damage, so why should the state have to pay, especially when the stipulation of the bailout was that the Greek state would need to sell off more of itself into private and EU hands that were largely the cause of the problem in the first place and would only ultimately Concentrate wealth and power into the same people who crashed the economy. That’s a very oversimplified version of why they didn’t want to pay it back. They considered bringing back their pre-EU currency, but one of the stipulations to join the European Union was to handover your printing presses for your old currency to the union to have it destroyed so there was no turning back. It’s the same with IMF bailouts. Sure, they will give you money, but they will tell you exactly what legislation needs to be passed and assets that you need to sell off so that your economy basically gets raided by American companies. These are largely deals with the devil.
That wasn't Plato who died that way. It was Aeschylus who was killed by an eagle dropping a tortoise on his head. It had mistaken his head for a stone.
Nutter at the bus stop is a fucking hoot,but really,this fella is gold whatever he’s talking about and never too far from the truth. Glaswegians are natural comedians just like Londoners and Dubliners. Cabbies in Dublin !! They’ll have you in tears after five minutes,we didn’t want to get out the cab we were laughing so much,and they’re ALL like that.
Hi KB. I think the comment you missed near the end was the guy on the grand a week dole (unemployment benefit) suggesting to his girlfriend that she "gets her tits done" ie has her breasts surgically enhanced. It is a tricky accent but if you persevere you will be richly rewarded.
You think he's got a thick Scottish accent! I used to work with a man with a thick Scottish accent and when he got excited about an issue, he would have to write down what he was trying to express. I love Scottish people and Kevin Bridges is a genius.
We, in Scotland, don't understand when Americans don't get his accent which is quite toned down for wider audiences. It isn't actually, all that broad. The Glasgow accent (which he has) is heavily influenced by Scots, Scottish and Irish Gaelic plus many multi cultural influences over time and, at full throttle is a joy to behold. A relative once told me of an incident when she witnessed a verbal altercation between two women (over a misbehaving child) . One of the Women's daughters (at the height of the altercation) shouted " caw er a hoor, Maw afore she cries you wan " roughly translates as........call her a whore Mother before she calls you a whore. Needless to say, they were back to being best friends the following day.........all part of the rich tapestry of life ,lol.
From Welsh Wales. Love your stuff. Look for Billy Connolly, Don't drink the tap water in Ibiza. Fart joke heaven. You're welcome. Keep on keeping on and good luck with the sprog. Tim.
I'm a Glaswegian and a pure Scottish, - Kevin bridges comes from Glesga, , that's Glasgow to some people, Glaswegian use a different dilect to wurds, he's a diamond of a guy, he's so funni, he's a younger version of Billy connolly, both of them are Amazing, he's very talented,
Britain did not pay off it's final nistallment of a war loan America gave us until 2006 nearly 56 years after we got it (was given in 1950) to help the UK avoid Bankruptcy after the cost of the war . So Greece is not the first to be enslaved by the banks and foreign government for debts owed on money loaned . Thanks America for the loan which you just after the war because of the special relationship between our two countries oh and THE INTEREST you made a nice little earner apparently .
If you struggle to catch everything, try putting the closed captioning on - if its auto generated it's up in the air as to how accurate they are, but some have been manually done!
A challenge for Americans. Read The Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvine Welsh. Usual Scottish summer. One week of sun and now weeks if warm weather with rain bouncing off the pavement (sidewalk for you over the bonders) Typical Scottish summer
Kevin Bridges, very funny guy, Greece's main problem is that the people don't want to pay tax. So they don't. So they get loans that they can't pay back. :)
Greece went into debt five times ,and try hard not to pay it back also bribe the eu union etc as to not pay it back but banks still borrow money to them it seems.
You’ve mixed up your Greeks there It was Aeschylus who met a tragic death: one day, an eagle that had just caught a tortoise mistook his bald head for a shiny rock, and accidentally killed the author by dropping the animal onto him. Plato either died while being serenaded by a Thracian flute-playing girl, at a wedding feast, or in his sleep.
The reference to which he's referring is to an episode of the animated Ricky Gervais Show where Karl Pilkington is talking to Ricky and Steve about things he's been 'learning' about philosophy which he then goes on, in typical Karl fashion, to tell not only the completely wrong story but also got most of the parts about it completely wrong as well.
If you don't know what he's talking about when he says People on the dole It's a UK slang term for on social security benefits, we also call it Brew money for I'm not sure reason It mean unemployed people / people with no jobs who get an allowance from the UK government while unemployed to look for work it's not mega money About 160 British pounds a fortnight but I could be wrong could be less I did a quick Google search and see America has Unemployment insurance, but not 100 percent sure if that is the same thing, Mabye if some subscribers know America and Britain more, they might explain it better. 😂
October 2010, Germany finally paid off all its debt from World War One. They’d have paid it off sooner is they hadn’t defaulted 1939-45. It’s bollox isn’t it? 😂😂
Civil war is an oxymoron. So. "The Welsh and Scots" are only "alright". "get yer tits done". As you say accent can be an acquired skill for not just Americans. His English accent on a Grahame Norton show is ace.

It does benefit an economy, just not the one the money came from xD

He is right. We're placing blame on wrong people.

I love Kevin, he always reminds me of a cheeky wee boy. I'm from Fife, Scotland and I'm a quarter Welsh 🏴🏴😊
@@Deekm69 I'm from Dunfermline but somehow ended up in Glenrothes. Wish I was back in Dunfermline lol 😊
Best line ever imagine a store where everything is worth a pound apart from you. 😂
As a Scot it is a hard Glasgow accent for us all. Have you tried An Audience with Billy Connelly? Old but a classic.
Connolly s fae Glesga, Kevin's no 😂
Hard for us all? Speak for yourself! Those are tory words of eve I heard tory words!
I’m happy for Greece too, John Travolta is such a legend.
The dole is unemployment benefits I've seen other American bloggers scratching there heads with that one
Yh being on the dole is the same as being on welfare

Karl Pilkington's take on how Plato was killed =D
Weeshed ya wee dafty and get Bridges reacted to
Greetings from Scotland. Nice sunny day here again after a wee bit of rain yesterday. The summer continues! 😎😎
Harry Enfield association football king absolute classic 👍
You need to watch Kevin Bridges Bus Stop joke as that is the most watched .
Ah man! I've just subscribed, this was so funny and just the laugh I needed 😂 Hi from Wales!
Stanley Baxter, a very famous Scottish comedian, did sketches teaching you how to talk Scottish.
Scotland is doing great , got a bit of a heat wave going on .
In the UK it is customarily to hold a can of Stella Artois when wearing a vest.
please you have to keep doing scottish content we love it!!

Glad u jumped on kev, so funny but underrated
in 2018 apple were holding over 250bn dollars in offshore accounts to avoid us taxes.
hes basically saying poor people buy taxable things, alcohol and smokes. rich people save and dodge taxes. so the people on the bru etc reinvest
Yesss more Kevin please 😊
Yess. As a peep show and inbetweeners lover myself, Kevin bridges is my favourite comedian by far. So funny.
Who was killed by the ostrich egg.
I’m telling a friend Pluto was killed by the egg?
She said “Pluto was. a goddess”
I was like ok.
Dropping its eggs, to let the kids out 😂😂😂
I saw Kevin live about a decade ago, yes, he’s a great comedian.
Germany haven’t finished their reparation payments from 1945 yet but no one dares ask them for it.
I’ve been hearing the Scots accents for nearly 70 years and I still don’t know what the f#*k they’re talking about.
Because there are different Scottish accents. Kevin Bridges speaks with a Glaswegian accent.
@@stickytapenrust6869 Aye, Kevin's definitely a weegie🤣
1 trillion doesn't sound as bad when you compare it with Americas 31 trillion, which they could default on by June 5th.
Shout out to Karl Dilkington 😅
Hello back at you from Ayrshire Scotland :) its good to be finnished work, time to chill!
Have you seen 'The Bus Stop Joke' ? OMG ITS BRILLIANT & people heckle him (nicely) to do this joke at the end of his shows!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
WHO do we owe all of this money to?! Just print off a Trillion dollar bill and say "here ya go!"

I love Scotland and Wales they are all brothers you forgot about Liverpool The king what’s going on 🤣🤣❤️🤙
You need to watch Malcolm Tucker rants, sketches from the TV series The Thick of It
Pretty sure US debt is at 32 trillion right now lol
Thank you from Edinburgh capital of Scotland x
Sad thing is, it's a decade later and everything he talked about the UK has just got worse!
Britain did not pay off it's final nistallment of a war loan America gave us until 2006 nearly 56 years after we got it (was given in 1950) to help the UK avoid Bankruptcy after the cost of the war .

im english my misses is from greenock inverclyde, took me 25yrs but i get the lingo and the culture. love it .
i do believe it as a stone as the bird picks up the stone to crack the egg open in flight.

Kevin’s priest with Tourette’s is brilliant
Wow, that is you at the start of the video haha. Love from the UK!
A challenge for Americans.

nice Karl reference in there, well played
Funny thing about Greece, unpaid debts were also the reason the Crusader army sacked Constantinople
Yes a lot of us are unemployed as eff in scotland ,and this is true we love excusing not having money we owe out
Watch some Peter Kay! Either his stand up or max and paddy/phoenix nights! Pure gold
You sure Plato died from an ostrich's egg on his head ? Sounds a bit like American folklore to me.
Why was there an old photograph of Lenin at the start of the video?

Try this one for the Welsh crowd work.
Mayor of MerthYR 🏴 - Randy Feltface
Its OK here in scottyland thanks. The sun is out.
Plato's death according to Mr K Dilkington :p
You are fortunate as he speaks VERY slowly!
Eagle and tortoise. Aeschylus I think :)
I think the Greek public sector employment had to take a 1/3 pay cut.
Haha I'm British & sometimes even I need a translator, not so much for the accent but the dialect
that was the playwright Aeschylus not Plato
One sketch Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights - The Green Mile/ Parody
Brilliant!
Karl Pilkington reference showing up in there
Great video as ever. Are you going to grow a big bushy moustache to look like a civil war general now? 😂
The only issue with us the UK invading the Cayman Islands is that we actually own it
If you don't know what he's talking about when he says
People on the dole
It's a UK slang term for on social security benefits, we also call it Brew money for I'm not sure reason
It mean unemployed people / people with no jobs who get an allowance from the UK government while unemployed to look for work it's not mega money
About 160 British pounds a fortnight but I could be wrong could be less
I did a quick Google search and see America has Unemployment insurance, but not 100 percent sure if that is the same thing,
Mabye if some subscribers know America and Britain more, they might explain it better.
😂
Was on it thru the Rona and I think I was getting like 220 every Fortnite
@@definitelynotatroll246yes becouse they bumped it up 40 pounds during covid then took it away a year later, it didn't stick at that high rate.
October 2010, Germany finally paid off all its debt from World War One. They’d have paid it off sooner is they hadn’t defaulted 1939-45. It’s bollox isn’t it? 😂😂
The chase
No trying to be a bastard but Scotland is pronounced “Scot-lind”

Nobody knows Plato's real name. Plato was his wrestler name.
