I think it says a lot about his character that apparently he hated doing this as he didn't like using his past to gain sympathy. I think Major was a good PM and a decent man
i'm a labour supporter but i always liked major. while i voted blair in 97 and 01(voted for charles kennedy in 05) i always thought blair was a tosser after iraq and a horrible person.
if major is a decent man why wasnt hitler
blair was always a prick even before iraq
it implies that you know a lot about politics when you compare a man who barely had any real support in his party to a powerful dictator
major was actually a good PM very centrist and did make a country at ease with itself.
what as it murdered its way across iraq. if that is a country at ease it is at ease with casual slaughter in its name.
i say not in my name
@@Almighty01Man That was Blair. Major only kicked the Iraqis out of Kuwait.
I agree
you still have to acknowledge that he did good things, regardless of the bad things. incompetent, pro-eu, et cetera, yes, but still better than blair, as blair caused a massive recession with debts among the biggest in history, and i've got much more reasons as to why he is better than blair.
@@craw.54 recession came from a deregulated market, something that would've been much worse under a tory government. and being pro-eu is not a bad thing lol, something we're all going to learn in the next few years is how much of a mistake brexit is
amazing, he came from virtually nothing, unemployed and no qualifications, he won the council seat and rose very quickly to mp and the front benches, he asceded to the treasury and became prime minister and governance, with a full term in office.
Major was a very underrated Prime Minister.Led his party during a difficult period ( after the more "extreme" Margaret Thatcher, and a period when sleaze was at its height within the party). He wanted social justice through conservatism and I respect him for that. His period in government also allowed Labours spending plans to bear fruition due to his astute management of the economy after Black Wednesday in 1992 ( Im a Labour voter by the way)
they don't even align with conservative, liberal, right wing, left wing, or any of those views at all.
John Major is my role model in politics coming from brixton
a great man, very respectable and honorable
I’m a socialist but I will say John Major left the country in a good state in 1997. New Labour inherited a very strong economy and good public finances
There should be a content warning on this film. Some pretty violent and steamy scenes, the kippers scene is particularly raunchy.
JM is inherently erotic
I was born at no 24 eastlake road 25 12 58 it will be 50 yrs this christmas day,when i was 5 or 6 john lived up the road he used to have a small mopeddy type of bike and a light grey beany helmet,
he actually seems like a nice guy!... then again, being a nice guy in politics doesnt get you anywhere
He managed to be PM for seven years, so he did something right.
John Major was awesome
The 1992 election was my first memory of a general election. I was 10.
My parents voted Labour and were disappointed with the loss. However, they respected Major and felt sorry for him when his party turned on him and his crushing loss in 1997. My parents also had their doubts on Blair (despite voting for him).
I don't care for either party (but lean more to Labour although don't care for them). However, is it mere nostalgia or does he comes across as refreshingly simple, honest and sincere without the silly spin style and zero substance of the last 25 years?
Can see why he won in 1992.
classic major, walking backwards out of his car at 8:44
John Major had more of a common decency around him and belonged to a more honourable age.
A true hero!!! Loved John Major!! Why the country fell for the lie of 'New Labour' is beyond me. When Major left office, unemployment was low, inflation was falling and the UK didn't have an huge deficit. He was also one of the main architects of the Northern Ireland Peace Process. What he lacked in charisma he made for in true statesmanship. A truly great PM and history will be the judge!
Major was a traitor too. And worse than Blair in the sense that at least with Blair you knew what you were getting.
globuleman247 exactly
Yes the economy was great...for the rich. The inequality grew every year from 1979 to today.
It's amazing how favourably John Major compares with today's appalling politicians, most of whom should be binned.
nostaligia eh. its not how it used to be
Michael Cawood everything was better then
Could you pass the peas dear:)
The peas are great tonight dear
He always reminds me of Christopher Reeve. And it's weird how he doesn't have a London accept, or any accept I've ever heard in the UK.
Oh well done mate thanks, brilliant piece.
I would hardly describe him as a natural in front of the camera.
The trouble is that whilst he might have been in touch with Brixton, he was in touch from the back of a Jaguar. I know Major came from poverty and was very much self-made, but his slightly onlookerish style wasn't everything that most of the British people wanted.
"Kippers, yes I'll have some kippers!" WoW, what a message of hope to send to the nation. Churchill eat your heart out!
This guy brings new meaning to "major aspie".
Stfu
Try this:
In UA-cam, search for 'Timekode, Rod Stewart' and listen to 'You've Broken Thru' -
the voice of Sir John Major makes a cameo appearance at the very end!
clearly that was an impersonator.
Tradition, respect for institutions that were developed organically rather than constructed by 'rationalist' pseudo-intellectuals, tolerance and authority. There was a reason Britain was one of the few European nations to hold back fascism and communism... our political systems developed over centuries, requiring a little fine tuning here and there rather than radical revolution. The 1688 settlement gave this country an admirable constitutional model that provided stability and prosperity
Great PM
he may have been placid and gentle but he was a damn good PM. hope people regret choosing Blair over him.
the greatest one !
“Why should I be a socialist”
Well spoken Mr.Major our last actually good PM.
What's the music at the end?
'The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra' by Benjamin Britten.
Major although had problems with sleaze, europe and black wednesday, he kept us out of the euro and left one of the best economic situations labour could only dream of: fastest growing european economy, low inflation, controlled public spending, unemployment below 2 million and stable interest rates.
To be fair, new labour did lead us through the longest economic boom in our country's history, only to be stopped by the global financial crisis
maybe some one should forward this to comrade brown
Whats the music that kicks in in the 8th minute?
it's a variation of 'rondeau from abdelazer' by Henry Purcell ua-cam.com/video/VVivtti-n-w/v-deo.html
excellent PM it was what he didnt do which you should credit him for i.e. not joining the Eurozone & not inflating an economic bubble.
I've seen it but where is he acting then? You mean that small part where he's ordering something at the market.
he acted all the way through he is a tory get it nothing about britain politicians has been honest since the clinton regime in america gave us their polluted ideologies about public image meaning you can get away with signing away all of the childrens legacy. thanks to major all majors children are gonna have to go the gulf or are they already there fighting john majors war. thanks john for what might drag out to the the new milleniums first 100 years war
Maybe not the most inspiring leader the country ever had, but certainly more trustworthy than most of the pond life who make up the current cabinet
@UnitedBritannia What exactly are 'British Values'?
Hazar I used be in the circus, Hoopla:D
More peas, Norma?
This was a direct rip-off from Labour's 1987 party political broadcast, "Kinnock:The Movie", and I won't have anybody telling me otherwise. I think Major knew very well that his former house was where it was.... at 2.45
Best pm britain ever had
same slogans from all mainstream parties... sometimes i have a feeling they have just different labels :|
he has nice teeth for an english guy lol
@gwhite79 Actually the whole reason why Hitler came to power in the first place was because the UK and France placed high financial penalties on the Germans and made them take blame for starting WW1. True we didn't join the league but at a certain point the UK ran out of cash to fund the war effort and FDR started lend lease not to mention the other forms of aid we sent. Make no mistake about it that war bankrupted the UK which is why you have a common wealth and no colonies now.
No seatbelt
John Major left a country where people were working for less than £2 an hour and workers had less rights than ever before. He cut tax for the rich so they could opt for private healthcare and education, whilst the majority had to use those sub-standard services.
Families were having to live on the lowest of incomes, with no support from central goverment.
Is there any wonder the booted him out, with the worst general election defeat in history.
@ToaJoe I didn't say they were second rate versions of anything. I meant that they shared simular tendencies like Blair took Clinton's 3rd way approach to government, or George H.W. Bush and Major occupied simular positions in history because they both came after more powerful movement right wing ideologues and were left with the after effects of their economic policies. I'm not apologizing for telling the truth. Didn't Major and Bush both have to deal with recessions and the Gulf War?
Good comment, deserves better than a 5 thumbs down.
Can never really imagen any of todays leaders doing a film like this.
i can they love having their balls stroked after its aired
@kikichunt edwin i got it was born in 85
Siiiip mantap👌
Is that a Moustache or What!!?
low taxes you hear that george ps force councils to stop making us pay so much
i liked john major and i hope people regret voting blair into power
not his first term. major was good but the torys had to go. blair did a lot of good things 1997-01 but fucked up when he became a puppet of the americans
Ah yes John Major- the UK's answer to George H.W. Bush.
to be fair major was nowhere near as bad as that prat
It wasn't the worst election defeat in history though was it.
In 1931, The Conservatives won 473 seats. Labour won just 50. National Labour won only 20 (and formed a coalition with the Conservatives & National Liberals).
Major also won the highest popular vote ever in 1992.
I do love it when Labour are doing so badly even their PM left to join up with the Tories :)
Why is his voice so posh even though he came from an ordinary background
It only sounds "posh" because nowadays people speak so appallingly. Thirty years ago, a lot of people were well-spoken; now hardly any remain.
totally agree, his reaction is so false.
Oh, *nice* one!
That's still *exactly* what I think whenever I see him!
God, this country needs Luck & Flaw back for another round of "Spitting Image" - you can tell just from the comments here how badly the youth of this country lacks a properly cynical political education . . .
Apart from signing Maastricht
He was awful!
