You guys should eventually move towards a hybrid insurance system like in The Netherlands. The costs increase according to income, from basically free all the way up to around 100 quid a month. Dont get me wrong, its still very much a national health service, you are not even allowed not to be insured, its just that wealthy people need to chip in a bit more. I myself am at arounf 35k a year and I still get almost half of the insurance costs refunded by the state, and I am really not to concerned with the 50/mo that this costs me. I mean, I can get a GP appointment tomorrow if I want. Another advantage is that these insurance companies buy the healthcare packages from the providers and they do have a commercial interest so they are much more competative than the state paying for everything through tax. And like I said, people on minumum wage or on benefits like single moms, kids and the elderly get everything refunded so it isnt anything like whats going on in the US.

David Cameron was elected in 2010 saying they would pay the debt off in one term of government, then he is responsible for the referendum. So for the caller suggesting he needed more time, I refer you to Cameron himself. This where we are now because of the divisive rhetoric and lies & people keep falling for it.
The referendum was the best thing he did. At least he stuck to his word if he didn't come back from Brussels with a better deal for UK, then he would hand the decision to the public. How brexit has turned out is down to the incompetence of the MPs dealing with it. Not the public for voting for it or to Cameron for implementing the referendum.
Not pay off the debt, end the budget deficit. There is a huge difference. You don't have to be economically illiterate to be left wing, but it really does helps...
It still amazes me that anyone would set themselves up for public humiliation just to try (& fail) to defend a politician that they are no more than a number to.
You can only be publicly humiliated if you care what the public think. No Tory cares what the public think. Once you've cast your vote you're redundant for the next 5 years.
I suppose it depends upon what is being said but social media is full of people defending the indefensible and try to get others to vote this or that.

I don't know what motivated this guy to phone in but this really is genuinely the way most members of the public think when it comes to which politicians they support. It's not about policies, it's just about finding them superficially likeable. It's the primary reason Boris Johnson beat Jeremy Corbyn.

If the general public was smarter, the actions of the Conservative Party would keep them out of office for a generation. Sadly, the general public are a lot like this caller.
David Cameron's two major achievements were a) he almost became the Prime Minister who ended the 300 year old UK Union, and then after not learning his lesson he b) became the Prime Minister who ended UK membership of EU! That's some career!! So now he is given a lordship and a seat on the cabinet. I definitely should have gone to Eton!!! What a country this is!!
So this guy loves David Cameron, thinks he was a great PM and called up specifically to say this. Yet he finds it churlish to be asked to name a single policy of Cameron’s he liked?
We’ve been told for so long, basically, that misery and disaster are just normal and unavoidable.. That any collective prosperity is impossible and that the only way for things to not get even worse is to cut to the bone for the masses and give all the savings to the already wealthy. It’s obscene.

Bringing back Cameron is an indication of the complete lack of talent on the Tory benches. To my mind he is the second worst Prime minister in the past century - no prizes for guessing the worst. This is the man who brought us austerity and Brexit; and plunged the country into economic poverty and political irrelevance.
@@xxora6568 Yes, but she was like a very short blip in the space-time continuum - only there long enough to see the queen's funeral and trash what remained of the British economy.
Cameron caused pain and distress to millions, he was hard line against the working classes and even as a self employed guy he hammered me financially and don't forget the bedroom tax which was brought in to force people out of their homes, it failed but it's still in place today.
He will probably be the worst foreign secretary in modern history as well as the worst Pm. That's an achievement considering he had Boris and (I nearly forgot her name) liz Truss as competition in both roles.

Spending on the NHS has gone up because of inflation and forcing trusts to use private for profit companies. Spending per capita has actually been reduced.
The tories don't actually spend money on the NHS itself really at all. It gets funelled out to outsourcing. They don't allow the NHS to spend it internally.
@@jamesjacob21as I said in the comments, the Tories don't actually allow the NHS to spend the money they ring fence. It gets fuelling out to the private sector. The NHS aren't allowed to spend it themselves. Goes out to their big business mates with corporate interests in healthcare. It's corruption.
Hope when he goes to the shopping and what he used to get is no longer available who caused it in the first place Cameron and reflect on how he could not stand up to the ERG and the disaster that is Tory Brexit
I've heard this guy's modulated voice before. His name wasn't Fenn before. He was talking about Brexit and James ran rings around him then too! He's obsessed!
Just to point out, the reason we almost had a double dip recession was because of Cameron's austerity. If we had continued with Browns policies as the Finanical Times has shown the average persons wage would be 6,000 to 8,000 pounds more per person today. And don't give me the nonsence about no money that was a post it note, not what our actual position was.
Exactly! There are people in this comment section that still think reducing spending was the right and economically correct thing to do. No wonder we are in this mess.
In the serious press the UK is reported to have suffered a "lost decade". That's pretty evident from a purely economic perspective. That's not even counting the wholesale vandalism of public and essential services, which is going to take a long time to correct.
@@chrisj9700 Kaynesian economics... Just to point out this is really basic economics, you'd get taught it in the first term of GCSE economics and you are not even at that level. Where you work is not a country. Brown had already expanded the spending to the point he wanted to and the markets had not lost confidence at all. Do you think the FT is one person and that an opinion piece is in the same section as data, as they are using graphs not opinions, wage growth was higher under Brown than under the Conservatives it's that simple, look it up yourself instead of using excuses to do zero research. Labour left a joke post it note, is that seriously how you think the country runs, imagine if in your career people asked why you had done what you did and you said someone left a joke post it note 🤦♂️ If the country had no money left we could not have taken out 1.5 trillion in debt which the Tories did. A country uses taxes every year to sustain itself. It does not run out of money like a static savings account with no cash in, this is basic stuff. Even the business you claim to work for doesn't work like that, you bring in money all the time.
The fact that people still believe austerity worked shows how badly our media, politicians, and education system have failed.
Children aren't taught to ask questions in school anymore, it's only to accept narratives and given answers. Parents are responsible too, it is up to them to teach reality and make up for the shortfalls in the education system, unfortunately many of them are distracted by vacuous nonsense instead of being aware of legitimate global problems.

That's a bold statement when you consider the calibre of the others in the running for that title 😂
James you're a sadistic man, playing with your lunch like that 😂
Is that an echo? 😂😂😂 This is hilarious😂😂😂😂
They’ve joined a club! No amount of rational argument works when people have decided to base their vote on lifelong fealty to a team instead of objectively viewing the actions and outcomes of a political party to which we owe zero allegiance, and determining their vote on that, but Christ why let logic get in the way of the flag colour. Footballification of politics- the reason why we are where we are.
Great comment 👍👍
Kermit you are a wise man
Truer words have never been spoken.😌
Northern Tory’s are the worst
Does that logic work both ways then or just with the other football team?
I'm sure some of these callers have cut-outs of the Daily Mail, Express & Telegraph that they read directly from.
I bet Fenn wished he'd written more than one statistic on his notepad before calling in to the show. 😂
I cant think of a single successful tory policy of the last 13 years. Not one….
I mean... They're getting to grips with the rise in obesity.
Sure, it's because working people can't afford 3 meals a day anymore with everything else... But... Progress is painful amirite?
Can you think of a labor one before that then?
@@davidatkinson5858 we were third in world for healthcare and had low waiting times before the tories came in for one.
What about raising the tax thresholds so very low earners pay no tax. There's one.
If the general public was smarter, the actions of the Conservative Party would keep them out of office for a generation.
Sadly, the general public are a lot like this caller.
History viewed with rose tinted glasses what the Tories do best
The one thing that makes Cameron better is that he isn't Braverman the Cruel.
This is what education, by big media, does to a nation.
David Cameron's two major achievements were a) he almost became the Prime Minister who ended the 300 year old UK Union, and then after not learning his lesson he b) became the Prime Minister who ended UK membership of EU!
That's some career!!
So now he is given a lordship and a seat on the cabinet.
I definitely should have gone to Eton!!!
What a country this is!!
Gotta love these waterheaded mugs.
They also ripped off millions into off shore Bank account. And don't pay any taxes...
So this guy loves David Cameron, thinks he was a great PM and called up specifically to say this.
Yet he finds it churlish to be asked to name a single policy of Cameron’s he liked?
I thought Cameron would be OK and that the Tories had drifted to the centre that illusion last about 5 seconds when Osborne put up VAT
Hug a hoodie? 😂
Sounds like every voter for the Tories...seems the same language as MAGAts in america.
I wonder if he understood the irony of using the word hog regarding his hero david Cameron’s motorway discipline ?
@@SlowhandGregAnd sold off Royal Mail to his pals in the city!
I absolutely adore James O'Brien
Some people you just can’t reach.
We’ve been told for so long, basically, that misery and disaster are just normal and unavoidable.. That any collective prosperity is impossible and that the only way for things to not get even worse is to cut to the bone for the masses and give all the savings to the already wealthy. It’s obscene.
The worst form of recycling……
Don't hog the middle lane 🤦
Is this a euphemism for what Dodgy Dave gets up to down on the farm?
Incredible stuff.
just to correct the caller.. austerity was a massive mistake and a spread sheet error
you can look it up..
sadly we are still paying for these cockwoblem being in charge from day one
I would actually be interested in reading up on this, I will use Google but this was a while ago....please share your source if you get five minutes - Thanks
Austerity hasn't ended, if it had things would've returned to how they were before the cuts.
@@thlifethlife-cf1wcit hasn't ended, but even when it does it won't make things better overnight
Rebuilding is always slower than burning things down 🙁
@@chrisj9700 deficit spending isn't a bad thing if done wisely
As a houshold example, if your car was old, unreliable and putting you at risk of losing your job because you're regularly late for work, would you buy a reliable car on credit?
Investing in future income makes sense. Austerity is when you lose your job rather than buy a car on credit that reliably gets you to work
@chrisj9700 I'm also not an expert on all the detail but cutting is one thing, but then we have to explain massive spends on the house of Lords, Buckingham Palace, MP Expenses...in some respect it was take from one to give to the other
I thought James kept saying 'fam' and was very confused
Quite a thing to voluntarily come on public radio to humilate yourself.
I think it's called 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' Doesn't Sunak have anyone else? Bringing back a failure is going to be the end for Sunak.
I'm at the point where I want people to have to pass an IQ test before they're allowed into a voting booth. A country gets the governmnet it deserves, and it's clear we are a country with a staggeringly vast number of absolute muppets.
Won't work, Narcissists aren't necessarily of low intelligence.
I though we lived in a democracy! If we did that the Tories would never get in.
We don't!!! we get to vote every 5 years or so, that's it, a democracy is a civilised society where we look after one another and support disadvantaged people and respect minorities, I think the conservatives have their own definition@@kev7552
The clearest response was to what are you having for lunch..wow. 😁
@askmartinez6409 He didn't know the answer to that question either!
Bringing back Cameron is an indication of the complete lack of talent on the Tory benches. To my mind he is the second worst Prime minister in the past century - no prizes for guessing the worst. This is the man who brought us austerity and Brexit; and plunged the country into economic poverty and political irrelevance.
Who's the worst?
between Truss and Boris it actually is hard to guess who the worst is.
@@vanessarobinson6475 The worst is Boris Johnson.
truss might give dave a run for his money
@@xxora6568 Yes, but she was like a very short blip in the space-time continuum - only there long enough to see the queen's funeral and trash what remained of the British economy.
“What you having for lunch?” 😂
Cameron caused pain and distress to millions, he was hard line against the working classes and even as a self employed guy he hammered me financially and don't forget the bedroom tax which was brought in to force people out of their homes, it failed but it's still in place today.
Hey James, is muppetry contagious? I think so, we have more than our fair share in the U.S.
This country is on its knees !!!AGREED? WHO HAS BEEN IN CHARGE FOR 13YEARS!!!ITS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Oh lord, it's 2010 again! My time machine works!
Sunak helping his wealthy mate Cameron, its just an old boys club for the super rich.
That is what the conservatives stand for.
it's like James is talking to a pigeon!
James looked so close to laughing hysterically at that policy success. Well done for keeping a straight face!
Country becomes more corrupt by the day - we sit and do nothing
"In your kitchen" had me dyin 😂
He will probably be the worst foreign secretary in modern history as well as the worst Pm.
That's an achievement considering he had Boris and (I nearly forgot her name) liz Truss as competition in both roles.
The country and world is against each other on so many issues. This is the problem with both the Tories and Labor. Both so divided.
the tories divided the country with brexit. dont blame anyone else
@@kanedNunable
I said both parties are divided. No one party or political ideology is exempt. No one is denying the division brexit caused . Labour is as divided as the tories. Neither party can decide who they are.
@@kanedNunable it’s been the gift that keeps giving, division as a political strategy, chaos and fear the fertile soil of Fascism.
Let him talk James, he's a perfect of example of how to talk yourself into the ground.
Savage way to end the call 😂😂
🦉🐯 Greensill Capital and David’s very dodgy lobbying (of taxpayers millions), anyone held to account… anyone… anyone…
how has austerity tripled our debt? can a tory explain this? how do you cut funding anything and end up more in debt than before? where has that 2 trillion gone?!
Lockdown fiasco
He really should of had a google before he got on the radio 😂 silly mug
To anyone who thinks this is a set up, 2 things.
These people definitely exist and genuinely think they can get one over on James.
Also, if you think you can do better than the pillock on the phone, give James a call, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to show you up on national radio as well
Spending on the NHS has gone up because of inflation and forcing trusts to use private for profit companies. Spending per capita has actually been reduced.
The tories don't actually spend money on the NHS itself really at all. It gets funelled out to outsourcing. They don't allow the NHS to spend it internally.
How has spending per capita been reduced? If the expenses for service have gone up plus inflation
@@jamesjacob21as I said in the comments, the Tories don't actually allow the NHS to spend the money they ring fence. It gets fuelling out to the private sector. The NHS aren't allowed to spend it themselves. Goes out to their big business mates with corporate interests in healthcare. It's corruption.
How are these people allowed to vote?
James O'Brien is the absolute best!!😉💯👍
The man who claimed a new washing machine on public expenses.. that £300 you needed for food, heating and rent
Does anyone have any sudocrem for Fenn's bottom?
@user-gh5he6sm5t hemoroid cream might be more appropriate, the gent was well & truly given one!
They walk amongst us
Jobs for the boys
Hope when he goes to the shopping and what he used to get is no longer available who caused it in the first place Cameron and reflect on how he could not stand up to the ERG and the disaster that is Tory Brexit
I've heard this guy's modulated voice before.
His name wasn't Fenn before.
He was talking about Brexit and James ran rings around him then too!
He's obsessed!
Don't hog the middle lane...
Loved this video, my chuckle for today. 😂
🤣🤣😥
I love these they are hilarious!
This was hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
Just call me Dave roll up sleeves Brilliant 😂😂😂.
That went well Fenn😂
What a plumb
I have no idea how people can have this point of view. Once again thanks James.
Just to point out, the reason we almost had a double dip recession was because of Cameron's austerity. If we had continued with Browns policies as the Finanical Times has shown the average persons wage would be 6,000 to 8,000 pounds more per person today. And don't give me the nonsence about no money that was a post it note, not what our actual position was.
Exactly! There are people in this comment section that still think reducing spending was the right and economically correct thing to do. No wonder we are in this mess.
@@wellwell7950 so true, basic economics needs to be taught in schools, it's saddening that the voting public think the opposite of reality.
In the serious press the UK is reported to have suffered a "lost decade". That's pretty evident from a purely economic perspective.
That's not even counting the wholesale vandalism of public and essential services, which is going to take a long time to correct.
@@chrisj9700 Kaynesian economics... Just to point out this is really basic economics, you'd get taught it in the first term of GCSE economics and you are not even at that level. Where you work is not a country.
Brown had already expanded the spending to the point he wanted to and the markets had not lost confidence at all. Do you think the FT is one person and that an opinion piece is in the same section as data, as they are using graphs not opinions, wage growth was higher under Brown than under the Conservatives it's that simple, look it up yourself instead of using excuses to do zero research.
Labour left a joke post it note, is that seriously how you think the country runs, imagine if in your career people asked why you had done what you did and you said someone left a joke post it note 🤦♂️ If the country had no money left we could not have taken out 1.5 trillion in debt which the Tories did. A country uses taxes every year to sustain itself. It does not run out of money like a static savings account with no cash in, this is basic stuff. Even the business you claim to work for doesn't work like that, you bring in money all the time.
Remember...People like this caller have the vote!
With some luck he might lose it behind the sofa and never finds it again.
Cameron must think we've all got short memories 🤦
And 90% have😢
