haha this is where the 20% polling numbers are coming from. When you're uneducated your dumb. In first world countries that means electing crooks, in third world countries it means civil war vs crooks.
@@New-ye2fl there is a clear difference in how much/if its really "mugging off", people like to claim labour mugged us off in 1997-2010 when we saw... record lows/near record lows on homeless numbers, nhs waiting, dentist waiting, housing waiting, employment support waiting, disability support waiting, public water contaminations/beach contaminations, government fraud. Meanwhile making minorities into enemies for votes such as the trans community, or trying to stop people voting against them via voter ID laws where its came to light they stopped veteran ID from being used because it could open the door to student IDs being valid, the point of the voter ID is so obviously to stop labour voters. I think I am okay with being mugged off if I dont have to wait half a year to see a doctor on the NHS, wait over a year to see a dentist, have a stable and decent chance of owning my own home.... Tories pretend "its all the same", it isnt, tories steal from the public, openly and happily, the last time the UK saw such rampent abuse of the public was the south sea bubble. Meanwhile they take your rights and freedoms from you, actively punish and abuse the poor to the point the UN have condemned it, refuse to feed children to the point that UNICEF had to step in.... "they all mug us off"....
lets be honest tho, a lot of us do it, I already know who I'm gonna vote for... I have no idea what they really stand for but the Lib Dems are more likely to beat the Tories where I live and I hate the Tories so I'm gonna vote lib dem, we might as well have the election tomorrow.
The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.
Nothing does ny head in more than people treating political parties like football teams. "I've always voted for them" is probably the worst possible reason to vote
I have voted for the Tories twice and even Brexit. I now have come to regret some of my decisions. Its so easy to vote along with the views of your family and friends, letting yourself feel entrenched into that idea of one party and can quickly turn into us Vs them. Now engaged a European since Brexit and reaping what I sowed with Tories, I will be voting labour for the first time and hope they can prove themselves to not be the other side of the same coin.
TBF, it's a pretty illogical stance for football fans too. Some clubs have had their badge change, manager change, owners change, stadium moved, name changed, players changed... At this point football clubs are basically Triggers Broom.
"I'm voting for the Tories because the country is in a terrible state and I'm too stupid to realise that it was the last 14 years of Tory governments that caused it."
Similarly the Tory slogan for this election is basically 'Everything is going to plan but vote for us because only we can fix this mess.' It's amazing how stupid some people are. I think the Tories became so hooked on the 'We inherited a mess' 2010 mantra that they can't drop it even 14 years later when now it's their own mess they're talking about.
Middle aged Tory women are genuinely obsessed with Boris. It’s like he’s a toddler and he’s potty training. “He did the best that he could bless him”. Weird.
They like Boris and the conservatives cause they bend over backwards to help old people. Triple lock pensions, maintaining the green belt, increasing taxes for working people and going on about nonsense like the boats. Can’t wait till we have labor in who start doing something for young people
@@btn237LOL then why is the QOL in places like China and India skyrocketing while the Western hemisphere deteriorates? It's because everyone votes in their own best interest at the deteriment of everyone else.
How can you even get mad anymore? The political system's been a mess since ever. People vote for bad parties for worse reasons. I can't get invested in elections anymore.
Blames Labour for bankrupting the country with a global financial crash but refuses to acknowledge the purely national crash that Truss caused. But it's ok cos she's, yer know, *sensible*.
I lived 8 years in the UK working as a carer, doing long hours and paying taxes and I can assure you that nobody ever gave me free housing or free anything.
This is the thinly disguised racism claptrap they read in the Daily Fail/Torygraph/other right-wing bilge. It's absolute nonsense in every single case but these xenophobes/racists trot it out at any given opportunity like it's undisputed fact not realising they just told the world exactly what they are!
Its really annoying hearing their argument being that they're given everything for free. If they had any houses to give out for free surely they'd help their own homeless people first/as well.
I can't praise the old boy enough; he give an unbiased and clearly honest reflection of the damage that has happened under to his local community, the country and even himself under the past years of Tory control. Honestly hope he gets the treatment he needs as soon as possible. Which considering the Tories have tried to make the NHS as bloated, stagnant and as irreparable as possible means he may never get it.
Yes it's a human tragedy that there a people up and down the nation in similar situations and all because the Tories love money more than anything else and some stupid people are so gullible that the lend the Tories their vote. Quite simply, one simply could not make it up.
I honestly think people like you, who allowed the media to convince them that “partygate” was a bigger issue than the cost of living crisis, are just as ignorant as these thick oldies in this video. All we heard for months was “wa wa boris did this, boris did that” with a chorus or morons cheering at seeing the back of him, while there was 0 media pressure about the COLC.
No cure for stupidity and no excuse for ignorance. This is a terrible state for UK society to be in, where even when the ruling party are pissing on you, you still vote for them. It's just sad.
There kind of _is_ If the tories didnt have a favourable media do you really think that half the talking points boriavs biggest fan mumbledbthrough would have been bouncing around enoiugh foe her to pick up on them? Any other politician dodging a question by hiding in a freezer until the press went away... *any* othwr politican than one bstered by a favourable press would have been dragged over the coals for that with residual mockinv jokes popping up. In political cartoons even months later Nope he dodged that And didnt go for the pre election interview that tore up his opponents And yet And yet It all was helped to fade from memory
I'm confident the younger generations are more immune to this. They do have all the information they need at their finger tips, and they're not reading broadsheets for understanding. Still requires piecing together, though.
@@jungleboy1 "That worked well. He gave a lot of money away to the wrong people but... oh... it worked well." Didn't give a very good account of herself, did she?
Because they don't want their town to end up like big cities? If you see something going on down the road that you don't like, the sensible thing is to stop it before it happens to you. That's not necessarily my opinion, but it's a perfectly logical point of view.
@@fullygrownshambles He's 100% right. Old money doesn't necessarily mean rich. It means boomers, people over the age of 50. People who don't like change in their society because they correlate the good times to the tories, which they had when they were young. An equivilent is Older Americans or Russians who do nothing but put their trust in the state.
It’s crazy how every problem they mention they care about has gotten far worse under the 12 years of tory reign, and yet they still persist. People like these are why there is so much corruption and unfairness in our world.
People like this arent the reason the world is so corrupt, they all have genuine concerns for the wellbeing of their loved ones but have been fed lies by media oligarchs and their political allies
What choice do they have? Labour started the multicultural death spiral in the 90s, who else do they have to vote for that can actually win in this system? Really?
@@obscurum6 Lies. Net Immigration never hit 100k a year until the blair labor government of the 1990s. "Rub the rights face in diversity", was the mantra. Your just plain face lying to say the spike wasn't the 1990s. Which pales in comparison to now, but that's where the spike started.
Yes, but I also see it from their perspective. I was young at the time but was still pro-remain. I see now that I was right and support stronger ties with the EU. Until the event itself, as I was getting older, I supported a second referendum. However, fundamentally, you need to understand that there is so much information nowadays. You may have identified that those saying that Brexit is good were lying and that those saying its harms were sensible, but there were people who should be trustworthy on both sides; therefore, that they trusted the liars isn't their fault. Blaming the public isn't the solution here. We need to blame the goddamn liars. It's easy to say that you told them so, but why would they believe you over (very) theoretically trustworthy politicians in government? It's sad but true that basically, you and I just got lucky in identifying the truthful perspective.
You lost, get over it! Remoaners lied their heads off saying Brexit would be a disaster and it hasn't been anything of the sort. It is the EU which is in big trouble with Germany having a very bad time. Last year the UK economy grew faster than Germany and is forecast to grow faster than Germany this year.
@@Tailspin80 Remainers campaigned on lies about Project Fear. They didn't campaign on the so called "benefits" of EU membership, like free movement, because they knew that was a vote loser, so they campaigned on Project Fear instead and then when they lost the referendum, they did their best to sabotage and waterdown Brexit after the referendum result. The public despised Project Fear and the arrogance of remainers that they know better. It must be really galling to remainers that they cannot point to any disasters from leaving the EU and that the UK grew faster than Germany in 2023 and will grow faster than Germany this year. The EU has never been an engine for economic growth and they are beset by divisions and economic difficulties. The EU remains a scerlotic, bureaucratic, undemocratic organisation with a one track mind of an "ever closer union" that bullies member states like Greece, Cyprus. Ireland and Hungary. We are so much better off out than in such a suffocating organisation.
Holy shit that’s a generalisation lol. A normal lady who disagrees with you “well we have differant politics so she is clearly hellspawn” I despise the Tories too but god damn mate go outside 💀
"Councils are going broke! That's because they're paying out all this money in housing benefits" So, nothing to do with 14 years of Tory government who've cut council budgets to the bone to the point that councils are going bust. Some people really need to give their heads a ruddy big wobble.
It is true also though - if private rents hadn’t gotten so extortionate, people would actually be able to afford rent without help. Most families that receive housing benefit are working. And more help for first time buyers would also help
I feel that guy in the blue shirt wasn't a Tory voter. He did say people voting that way lacked imagination and inspiration, that it was old money ruining everything at the cost of the youth.
So she voted for Brexit to stop Europeans being able to live and work in the UK, but she didn't realise that leaving the EU would make it difficult for Brits living in Europe? Empire mentality right there!!
Seriously she did say that "we were lied to", but also said "nobody told us what would _really_ happen". There the interviewer should have reminded her about "project fear", she was warned but _she_ chose to listen to those who (she now knows) lied.
Most people rely on a surface glance of the issues. If they're lied to by the media, by politicians, we're screwed. And that happened. I for one blame the snake oil salesmen, not those they ripped off.
In her defence (only very slightly mind) the remain campaign was woeful! I'm a big fan of Corbyn but he dropped the ball with Brexit and didn't pay it anywhere near enough attention. The political class were out of touch with a large part of the electorate and thought Brexit would automatically be rejected.
The cognitive dissonance it must take to call some people moving countries expats and some others immigrants is damn depressing man. Like these people are so bloody stupid, just half of them were luckily born earlier and managed to get on the housing ladder and somehow think it was their hard work.
Its quite refreshing to hear the the young lad say he needs more research before voting, if we had more like him we maybe wouldn't be in the crap were in.
I live here. Really ill informed and under educated. Genuinely, we’re not rich here. It’s a bit of a dump. The racism is stronger than their ability to understand the most basic individual thought.
All these folks have is the feeling of superiority that the Tories told them is their due to being white. Chief motivator of the human chimp is that "Little Bit of Importance". They won't let go of it.
Kinda wild that they call other people stupid when half these people wouldn’t know critical thought if it fell on them like an anvil. Bigots gonna bigot I guess.
stupid people have this weird thing where they just deafult to whatever buzz word is apparently constantly flying around their heads. "Theres too many immigrants and they get free houses and our soldiers they fight wars for our country and they cant get a house" How many times do were here stuff like this completely mindless extreme opinions based on agreeing with someone else who spouting similar nonsense. Politics is all just about how many extreme fearmongering buzz words can we make the heard latch on to.
Woman who says "because WE are sensible" also says "because I'd never vote for anyone else"... yes, thats what sensible people do, blindly vote for the same thing they did the last time, just because they always voted that way. Genius moves from coffin dodgers
Like large tranches of 'up North' who won't vote conservative because it's family tradition, then.... Blinkered voters on both sides are an equal problem to be fair.
@@duplicitouskendoll9402 The way the country has been run the last 14 years most people wont have a pension in the first place, Millenials in the UK are at about the age where they should begin to drift toward the tories but given how hard it is to become a homeowner and become wealthy they arent. The tories have basically killed off their voter base and shut the door behind them.
It is sad how duped these people are. The Tories do not give a damn about any of these people and actively make things worse. Hell, one woman on the video claims immigrants get everything free whilst ex soldiers end up sleeping rough. Even assuming both where true, the Tories have had 15 years to make soldiers lot post army better. These people have sadly been misled by a heavily right leaning media that dominates UK news. Fortunately, it looks as if these people are in an increasing minority. Let's hope the polls reflect that in July.
Yep they do, similar to how New Labour used to leverage the working classes across the North, Wales, Scotland etc. for votes whilst the Champagne Socialist and their cronies bleed the country dry (as do the Tories). Need someone on the side of the people.
Corbyn would have greatly improved the country! And it is a Shane that Starmer has betrayed his legacy, plus all his own pledges. Somebody obviously bought him off...
There literally isn't another person - of any political persuasion other than Tory - who could have buggered this country so royally the way the Tories have these past 14 years and yet STILL people want to vote for them. "They should never have got rid of Boris"? FFS, they should NEVER have voted him in!
Incredible example of just asking questions, listening and then following up. Really let people speak their piece and explain themselves. I don't agree with a lot of it but it was very interesting to hear them try to clarify and go deep with their big name concerns.
Nothing in the country Works. We are nearly £3 trillion in debt. We've had the worst 14 years in every sphere and 21% of the people think "yep that's been really good. We'll have another five years of that please" these people mental?
@@ronwhite8503 Really? Count Binface would be better than the Tories. Spongebob Squarepants would do a better job than the Tories. Unless Starmer physically sets the country on fire and starts bayoneting kittens on live TV, he's almost guaranteed to do a better job than the raggedy end of 14 years of self-serving, wannabe Ayn Rand cockwomblry.
You are right of course, but it's not all internal political factors driving this, which can be easily remedied with a change of tie colour at the top. A change right now sounds like a no brainer, but to expect a fix from that change would, I feel, be fairly naive unfortunately. The polarising two party system now seems to result in nothing more than four year campaigns based on doing not much more than the opposite of each other, with no proper unified long term plans for anything. Turning around a ship takes a lot longer than that.
so all the people you interviewed agreed the country is in a mess, and the solution they propose is to give the same people that put us in this mess, another 5yrs to try and sort it out...?! These people are just deluded, they have stockholm syndrome
They refuse to believe labour can be competent, but they will give the tory clown car every opportunity. They remind me of those parents who claim their bolshy arsehole adhd kid is a child genius because they make loud pronoucements, but act like their quiet studious capable kid can't do anything right
Labour have NEVER left office with a lower unemployment rate than when they started - EVER! and it will be no different this time round if they get in when all the non dom business owners move to France making 1000s of people unemployed did you think they were for the working party because of their name?
@@matthewbaker2573 Tony Blair enters 1997 - 7.2% unemployment Tony Blair 2001 - 5.1% unemployment Tony Blair 2005 - 4.8% unemployment Tony Blair 2007 - end of Blair government - 5.4% unemployment What a really weird point to make by the way, whilst the Conservatives consider people on 0 hour contracts to be employed and more people working 40 hours now living in poverty than ever before. Employment stats arent the be all and end all and even if they were, you're wrong.
Does any voter actually vote for what’s best for the country? I think most just vote for their own interests. And that applies to everyone, right and left, rich and poor. The reason pensioners have such sway is because most vote, whereas younger people tend not to bother.
As a pensioner myself, I have a lot of friends and family who are pensioners. The problem I find, is that when you point out the facts of what is being done to us and the country, they refuse to believe that the Government would do such things. They turn a blind eye, say they don't want to talk about it and refuse to listen.
@@Christophers-Assorted-Stuff I research the parties and manifestos. I even went to the hustings in 2019 and also last week. In 2019 I campaigned for an independent candidate (David Gauke) after he was thrown out by Johnson for questioning Brexit. I now don’t like any of the parties or candidates in our ward. I will vote for someone but it’s more a vote for democracy than anything else. This has got to be the most depressingly negative election of all time.
that woman in the black top clearly gets all of her info from the daily mail and stays in an echo chamber. Fair play to the guy in the denim shirt though
The lady who is a proud Tory needs to tell people like me who have been disabled by long COVID that Boris did a good job. ‘No one else had to do it so he must have been the best’: that is just plainly stupid.
I’m with you, hope you’re doing ok. if the lockdown hadn’t been postponed, when Boris was advised to do it, I wouldn’t have been disabled by catching the virus pre-vaccine
I always find this “no one else had to deal with something like covid” thing utter nonsense - Every other world leader had to deal with it as well and with the exception of the nutjobs in charge of USA, Russia and Brazil at the time, Boris was the worst!
Boris "let the bodies pile high" Johnson. If only a pandemic preparedness exercise had been carried out in 2016 and made a bunch of recommendations on what we needed to improve to cope with an actual pandemic... It would be really awkward if the findings weren't actioned upon and were actively withheld from the public for 4 years. P.s. I'm very sorry to hear about the long COVID :(
@@KatEtoileMe as well. Been 3 years unwell. Had something show up on an ECG. At one point couldn't lift my arms. My doctor wrote to a consultant. Caught it the Feb before the lockdown. That date ever etched in my mind! Worked in a health setting and 1 day a week a home. Lockdown was late. Masks were being worn by students near where I lived long before that. They must have known all this. My doctor left with bad after affects as well from catching it. I met a man only a few weeks ago not been out for 3 years properly he said. I was thinking it might be all in my head. He validated what I was feeling. He had gone through similar.
Immigration is the most important issue to somone who lives in one of the least impacted areas. You can tell who watches Talk TV.. at least she didnt say trans fml.
Most of these people originally came from the East End of London in the last 30 years. They moved away from immigration on purpose. Thats why I always find this to be a slightly skewed point, and its very often areas adjacent to places of high immigration, or rather places with rapidly increasing diversity. In this case, Castle point is not far from Thurrock, with a large black and Eastern European population, and many of its residents moved there from Newham, Ilford, Barking etc. So they have experienced it and disliked it, and moved to a more "comforting" social bubble. In time they'll move east again to somewhere like Shoeburyness or Burnham, the moment they see an Asian person.
That woman is deluded ! She has no idea whats going on and why we are in such a mess ..She is in total denial and still believes in voting Tory ..please God can more people have more sense when July comes !
There are 2 types of tories, billionaires and idiots. They need to check their bank accounts. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The sheer lack of logic and understanding.
Saying "billionaires" is a bit too exclusive for the UK. We're not the USA and don't actually have all that many of those. Probably something like 150 in total. Tories traditionally represent anyone with a high five figure income and above. They're the kind of folk who are all getting excited whenever the Tories announce tax cuts that make no difference to the rest of us. Anyone earning less than something like £70,000 a year and vote Tory...well you're correct there: They're idiots.
@@duxberry1958 Yes. OP is calling 30 million people idiots because they disagree with these people politically. This has been the norm for online discourse since the world wide web began
Yeah... I thought that too She started to articulate the idea that if corbin had been in charge during covid he wouldnt have been... As effective as Boris... Does cheering for her side really extend to thinking that the other lot would *obviously* have done worse? Hate on Corbin for many reasons all you want... But im sure he would have equalled if not surpassed the bare minimum response that her untouchable saviour boris gave us
Don’t blame the politicians. Blame the constituents. I think, if you want to vote, you should go on a one-year course to learn about how the country is managed. This will weed out people that don’t care and just take a box. And it will create a voting base that know what they’re talking about and actually care.
@@janetmalcolm6191 I would hazard a guess that the population skews toward old, rich property owners. Either that or there is a hidden network of lead pipes sub-surface.
You can add an extra three more years if Starmer wins,because he and his lickspittle Streeting have no intention to change the NHS, only more privatisation,bloody tory reds.
That woman in black & white has genuinely made me angry. How can someone so blindly believe every piece of utter bollocks spouted by a party of proven liars!!! Honestly, she needs an intervention.
The majority of the 2 parties are so corrupt you may as well think of them as football teams passing a football between themselves, the blairites who took over labour are tories wearing red.

@@redrock1965coz it's full of middle class people who earn about average who start believing they have more in common with millionaires than the working classes.
Thinking that people with very different views from yourself are nothing more than 'fools' is part of the problem. Some statistically will be misguided of course, but people do have more in common with each other than not across the board. Politics has been weaponised, and thinking in this way is only exacerbating this to be honest.
@@DeborahWheelhouse-fd6rs The country has gone right down the toilet since Blair and Brown. Most folk are worse off now than they were then, which is unforhiveable.
Interestingly, a recent survey showed that the only demographic where the Tories still lead is in over 60s with few or no qualifications. In other words, old thick people, just like the first woman.
People who lack critical thinking skills will obviously play it safe by voting for a party who haven’t collapsed the country and will keep thinking like that until the day they die or the country collapses regardless of what has happened in the 14 years.
My mum is like that woman. Will vote Tory no matter what. Thinks the inflation going up is the worlds fault, but thinks it coming down is all down to the Tories. Still harps on about the 1970's, ignoring that the country grew amazingly between 1997 and 2010.
Exactly the same as my parents, always reminding us on how Harold Wilson and co fucked everything and yet Conservative just came and fixed everything 😂
Every town continued to decay, car manufacturers vanished, Blair killed a million people in an illegal war, Brown told the police not to stop muslim gangs abusing kids, What world were you living in?
The country didn't grow between 1997 and 2010. In 2010 real incomes were the same they were in 1997. In the meantime, Labour tripled debt as a share of GDP.
@@varsoo1 This is demonstrably false. A quick google search shows GDP per capita outpaced even the US in those years, nearly 1.5% growth per year. Similarly, real wages grew in this time. 1997-2010 also saw a 28.6% rise in real average disposable income, compared to the only 11% rise from 2010-2023 under the Tories...
In Scotland these type of people are seen as the personification of everything that's wrong with England. The woman at 1:45 is the type of person to complain on social media that the Scots get free education, free prescriptions, free bus travel, public ownership over their own water, etc etc, yet at the same time continuously voting for Conservatives that don't believe in much social policies, there's an oxymoron if there ever was one. Maybe stop voting for the Conservatives, and start voting for governments that actually believe in social policies, just as the Scots do, and maybe, just maybe we might understand how to take an abstract notion of our personal identity and turn it into a decent nationhood like Scotland. I mean Scotland hasn't voted Conservatives outright since 1935, here's to hoping Scotland ends this unequal 'voluntary' union and it can finally stop being held back by Conservative voters here in England.

Councils are going broke because Westminster cut government funding to councils. And to the lady who was talking about council houses, councils can’t build council homes because they have no money

That Carol lady couldn't give a single reason why she like conservatives. 'Boris did well during covid', but how? What specifically did he do that was so special?

And besides breaking the rules, the Tories under Boris didn't actually do well. The UK had a higher death rate from covid than any other western or northern European country. In Europe, only Greece and some of the former East Bloc countries did worse than the UK. All European countries with similar size to UK did better. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Ukraine and even Russia did better (though Russian numbers should be taken with a grain of salt). Not talking small margins either, UK had a death rate of 150% that of Germany and 350% that of Norway.

Nothing does ny head in more than people treating political parties like football teams. "I've always voted for them" is probably the worst possible reason to vote
I have voted for the Tories twice and even Brexit. I now have come to regret some of my decisions.
Its so easy to vote along with the views of your family and friends, letting yourself feel entrenched into that idea of one party and can quickly turn into us Vs them.
Now engaged a European since Brexit and reaping what I sowed with Tories, I will be voting labour for the first time and hope they can prove themselves to not be the other side of the same coin.
These people are ridiculous. The sooner this country has proportional representation the better. Boris Johnson is still their poster boy.
TBF, it's a pretty illogical stance for football fans too. Some clubs have had their badge change, manager change, owners change, stadium moved, name changed, players changed... At this point football clubs are basically Triggers Broom.

Similarly the Tory slogan for this election is basically 'Everything is going to plan but vote for us because only we can fix this mess.' It's amazing how stupid some people are. I think the Tories became so hooked on the 'We inherited a mess' 2010 mantra that they can't drop it even 14 years later when now it's their own mess they're talking about.

People who say "they never told us what Brexit would really be like" do my head in. Yes they did! Yes WE did! Millions of people knew it and said it.
Yes, but I also see it from their perspective. I was young at the time but was still pro-remain. I see now that I was right and support stronger ties with the EU. Until the event itself, as I was getting older, I supported a second referendum.
However, fundamentally, you need to understand that there is so much information nowadays. You may have identified that those saying that Brexit is good were lying and that those saying its harms were sensible, but there were people who should be trustworthy on both sides; therefore, that they trusted the liars isn't their fault. Blaming the public isn't the solution here. We need to blame the goddamn liars. It's easy to say that you told them so, but why would they believe you over (very) theoretically trustworthy politicians in government? It's sad but true that basically, you and I just got lucky in identifying the truthful perspective.
You lost, get over it! Remoaners lied their heads off saying Brexit would be a disaster and it hasn't been anything of the sort. It is the EU which is in big trouble with Germany having a very bad time. Last year the UK economy grew faster than Germany and is forecast to grow faster than Germany this year.
Brexit fans got all their info from the Mail, Express and late night GBNews. And Boris. It was all going to be perfect.
@@Tailspin80 Remainers campaigned on lies about Project Fear. They didn't campaign on the so called "benefits" of EU membership, like free movement, because they knew that was a vote loser, so they campaigned on Project Fear instead and then when they lost the referendum, they did their best to sabotage and waterdown Brexit after the referendum result. The public despised Project Fear and the arrogance of remainers that they know better. It must be really galling to remainers that they cannot point to any disasters from leaving the EU and that the UK grew faster than Germany in 2023 and will grow faster than Germany this year. The EU has never been an engine for economic growth and they are beset by divisions and economic difficulties. The EU remains a scerlotic, bureaucratic, undemocratic organisation with a one track mind of an "ever closer union" that bullies member states like Greece, Cyprus. Ireland and Hungary. We are so much better off out than in such a suffocating organisation.

She probably read the Leave campaign leaflet, but not the Remain campaign leaflet, due to bias.
Seriously she did say that "we were lied to", but also said "nobody told us what would _really_ happen". There the interviewer should have reminded her about "project fear", she was warned but _she_ chose to listen to those who (she now knows) lied.
Most people rely on a surface glance of the issues. If they're lied to by the media, by politicians, we're screwed. And that happened. I for one blame the snake oil salesmen, not those they ripped off.
In her defence (only very slightly mind) the remain campaign was woeful! I'm a big fan of Corbyn but he dropped the ball with Brexit and didn't pay it anywhere near enough attention. The political class were out of touch with a large part of the electorate and thought Brexit would automatically be rejected.
The cognitive dissonance it must take to call some people moving countries expats and some others immigrants is damn depressing man. Like these people are so bloody stupid, just half of them were luckily born earlier and managed to get on the housing ladder and somehow think it was their hard work.
Its quite refreshing to hear the the young lad say he needs more research before voting, if we had more like him we maybe wouldn't be in the crap were in.

You are right of course, but it's not all internal political factors driving this, which can be easily remedied with a change of tie colour at the top. A change right now sounds like a no brainer, but to expect a fix from that change would, I feel, be fairly naive unfortunately.

Does any voter actually vote for what’s best for the country? I think most just vote for their own interests. And that applies to everyone, right and left, rich and poor. The reason pensioners have such sway is because most vote, whereas younger people tend not to bother.
I'm a pensioner and I research the parties and in my opinion vote for what is best for the country.
As a pensioner myself, I have a lot of friends and family who are pensioners.

@@richardtuxford1812like Leigh, for example
Most of these people originally came from the East End of London in the last 30 years. They moved away from immigration on purpose. Thats why I always find this to be a slightly skewed point, and its very often areas adjacent to places of high immigration, or rather places with rapidly increasing diversity. In this case, Castle point is not far from Thurrock, with a large black and Eastern European population, and many of its residents moved there from Newham, Ilford, Barking etc.
So they have experienced it and disliked it, and moved to a more "comforting" social bubble. In time they'll move east again to somewhere like Shoeburyness or Burnham, the moment they see an Asian person.

There are 2 types of tories, billionaires and idiots. They need to check their bank accounts. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The sheer lack of logic and understanding.
Saying "billionaires" is a bit too exclusive for the UK. We're not the USA and don't actually have all that many of those. Probably something like 150 in total.
Tories traditionally represent anyone with a high five figure income and above. They're the kind of folk who are all getting excited whenever the Tories announce tax cuts that make no difference to the rest of us.
Anyone earning less than something like £70,000 a year and vote Tory...well you're correct there: They're idiots.
Labour voters are bigger idiots sadly. Open borders. 😂
theres only 43 billionaires in the uk

Don’t blame the politicians.
Blame the constituents.
I think, if you want to vote, you should go on a one-year course to learn about how the country is managed.
This will weed out people that don’t care and just take a box. And it will create a voting base that know what they’re talking about and actually care.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Yes. And, sadly there is no cure for it.
Very true saying as you can see from this.

Let's talk about Labour.
Weird, I see the ame analogy in the moron worshipping Corbyn on festivals
"I've been waiting three years to get treated for cancer". That should be front and centre of Labour's campaign.
You can add an extra three more years if Starmer wins,because he and his lickspittle Streeting have no intention to change the NHS, only more privatisation,bloody tory reds.

Conservative Party must be amazed that some of their voters will vote for them no matter how badly they have been kicked where it hurts. Amazing
Thickest people on the planet
Probably true, but If you think that is not a two sided coin, I have a bridge to sell you.
"I voted Labour because my parents did", "I vote conservative because I always have". These are the issues in a two party labelled democracy.
100% finally a sensible comment.
The Daily Mail is clearly the only thing these people ever read.
That's a bit harsh .... what about the Daily Express ?
These people can read?
Probably the sun too. Let's be fair we're not short of dirt sheets in this country.
To be fair, I once saw a man at Benfleet station with the Telegraph...
You didn't watch the whole video, did you.
do they realise the tories have been in power for the last 14 years?
This link's to people not knowing the difference between labour councils and tory government.
The Govt themselves don't realise so how will they? They look to Labour for ideas. Then pinch them.
and before that we had 14 years of fooking muslim backed labour
They only go by what the mail says!
Actually they’ve governed for 32 of the last 45 years
The fact that Carol is allowed to use sharp cutlery and drive on public roads is very concerning.
That made me exhale from my nose audibly.
the two comments above me perfectly match each other in every way
That woman in black & white has genuinely made me angry. How can someone so blindly believe every piece of utter bollocks spouted by a party of proven liars!!! Honestly, she needs an intervention.
I'm not sure what's worse, the ineptitude of british politicians or the idiotic electorate.
If they vote Tory or Labour,it'll be the idiot electorate.
I suspect quite a few in this comments section will fit that description.
💯
Methinks those two observations not necessarily causally unconnected.
Both. The latter leads to the former.
These must top the lot. Just blindly vote.
"I won't ever vote for anyone else" urgh why?! They're not football teams. They're political parties.
The majority of the 2 parties are so corrupt you may as well think of them as football teams passing a football between themselves, the blairites who took over labour are tories wearing red.
Habit and fear of change, especially given her age
we don't get much choice in our "democracy" voting to be honest
Sadly way too many people treat politics like football...

They do come across as ridiculous. Although it's quite logical that they wouldn't realise they are being a fool, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
Boris Johnson
Thinking that people with very different views from yourself are nothing more than 'fools' is part of the problem. Some statistically will be misguided of course, but people do have more in common with each other than not across the board. Politics has been weaponised, and thinking in this way is only exacerbating this to be honest.

There's lots of them about - unbelievably.
Its a democracy and people vote for who they want and I would always respect that.Dont forget people still voted Labour after Blair and Brown.
@@DeborahWheelhouse-fd6rs The country has gone right down the toilet since Blair and Brown. Most folk are worse off now than they were then, which is unforhiveable.
Perhaps they have seen Wales and London and said No thanks
Interestingly, a recent survey showed that the only demographic where the Tories still lead is in over 60s with few or no qualifications. In other words, old thick people, just like the first woman.
Have u got a link? Or source? Thanku
People who lack critical thinking skills will obviously play it safe by voting for a party who haven’t collapsed the country and will keep thinking like that until the day they die or the country collapses regardless of what has happened in the 14 years.
"We're bathing in shit" absolute gigachad
Words cannot describe the intelligence of these individuals. Is it no wonder this country is broken.
My mum is like that woman. Will vote Tory no matter what. Thinks the inflation going up is the worlds fault, but thinks it coming down is all down to the Tories. Still harps on about the 1970's, ignoring that the country grew amazingly between 1997 and 2010.
Exactly the same as my parents, always reminding us on how Harold Wilson and co fucked everything and yet Conservative just came and fixed everything 😂
Every town continued to decay,
car manufacturers vanished,
Blair killed a million people in an illegal war,
Brown told the police not to stop muslim gangs abusing kids,
What world were you living in?
The country didn't grow between 1997 and 2010. In 2010 real incomes were the same they were in 1997. In the meantime, Labour tripled debt as a share of GDP.
@@varsoo1 This is demonstrably false. A quick google search shows GDP per capita outpaced even the US in those years, nearly 1.5% growth per year. Similarly, real wages grew in this time.
1997-2010 also saw a 28.6% rise in real average disposable income, compared to the only 11% rise from 2010-2023 under the Tories...
@@varsoo1in this day and age, this level of ignorance is a choice.
In Scotland these type of people are seen as the personification of everything that's wrong with England. The woman at 1:45 is the type of person to complain on social media that the Scots get free education, free prescriptions, free bus travel, public ownership over their own water, etc etc, yet at the same time continuously voting for Conservatives that don't believe in much social policies, there's an oxymoron if there ever was one. Maybe stop voting for the Conservatives, and start voting for governments that actually believe in social policies, just as the Scots do, and maybe, just maybe we might understand how to take an abstract notion of our personal identity and turn it into a decent nationhood like Scotland. I mean Scotland hasn't voted Conservatives outright since 1935, here's to hoping Scotland ends this unequal 'voluntary' union and it can finally stop being held back by Conservative voters here in England.
A wiseman once said:
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." So true for the lovers of the Tories.....

Housing benefits are making councils broke? Immigrants vs veterans?
If that’s the first thought in your head, the tory press has done its work 🙄
She was right about more council housing needing to be built though. I kind of think she was trying to make the point that millions is being spent on housing benefit which is only benefiting private landlords rather than proving social housing with cheaper rents.
well if labour hadn't stopped the flights, we would have been sending them to Rwanda for 2 years now. most likely would have deterred quite a few people attempting to cross.

A Conservative vote is not necessarily support for them, the issue is that Labour is another horrible option that people sadly didn’t realise due to their own delusions.
Councils are going broke because Westminster cut government funding to councils.
And to the lady who was talking about council houses, councils can’t build council homes because they have no money
Yea but she still blamed people on benifits for the lack of social housing.. go figure...
And they weren’t allowed to use the money raised from selling the council houses there used to be
💯
@catscan2022 Probably didn't receive enough funding!
@catscan2022 Because Blair was a neoliberal centrist rather than a left leaning socialist. You literally live in a neoliberal UK that has existed since Thatcher.

That Carol lady couldn't give a single reason why she like conservatives. 'Boris did well during covid', but how? What specifically did he do that was so special? He bared the stress of dealing with covid, but broke all the rules. I can't think of a single positive thing he delivered. Previously a tory voter but not for the foreseeable future until someone honest comes into power
Tory governments look after the rich nobs, Corporations, Big Pharma and the upper classes so IF you are NOT one of the above then why are you voting bloody Tory🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😒😒😒😒😒😒🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😎😎
And besides breaking the rules, the Tories under Boris didn't actually do well.
The UK had a higher death rate from covid than any other western or northern European country. In Europe, only Greece and some of the former East Bloc countries did worse than the UK.
All European countries with similar size to UK did better. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Ukraine and even Russia did better (though Russian numbers should be taken with a grain of salt).
Not talking small margins either, UK had a death rate of 150% that of Germany and 350% that of Norway.
It just shows that most of the general public don’t actually know shit and just vote/decide on their party based on media bullocks they’ve been fed
