The biggest contributor to the downfall of Britain, Thatcher. If she’d not sold off oil&gas we’d have £1trillion pension fund like Norway, we’d have cheaper electric & gas, water would be clean…..
everybody would have a home without thatcher right now. She gave everyone a home in the 80s but forgot to replace them.
@@jungleboy1 I don't think she forgot though!
@@garagenigel planned all along then!
Norways wealth fund now generates a greater income than its dwindling oil and gas.
@@johnrussell3961 Yes, but they will face the same problem we have when they have used 70% of the oil. Their oil field is much bigger than ours..
Murdoch. That man has almost singlehandedly wrecked the entire planet. He's Emperor Palpatine in real life
Murdoch is the devil
The truth right here.
On the world stage, either murdoch or putin for palpatine incarnate.
Murdoch has had such an insidious influence on our country.hes not even from our country yet he panders to the intolerant,judgemental and those that lack compassion for those that deserve our sympathy.i know evil is a very strong word but i think there is an argument for it.
Yes! Absolutely! 100%! The worst thing to happen to Britain and America! All of our institutions, monarchy, church, judiciary and constabulary, our parliament, our international relations with Europe and the commmonwealth, our political parties, the trade unions, all the dozens and dozens of families his hacks have persecuted… all of them, the whole fabric of society, have been irreparably damaged by the sensationalist prurient culture he brought in! Awful unspeakable man!
Thatcher - she laid the groundwork
Blair laid the ground work. He destroyed this country beyond repair. Look at London.
Lol, so 34 years of no leadership since?
No, she just inherited a backwards obsolete economy. She tried - and failed - to modernise it.
Wealthy businessmen running this country feeding their wealthy mates to build their businesses whilst making the poor poorer.
Spot on! An entitled elite. Labour are no better, look at champagne socialist Tony Blair!
That, right there.
Isn't that what humans want though? Look at any age, the majority of people have always been ruled by the toxic few. Its the natural order of primates.
All of this can be traced back to Thatcher who was unfortunately successful in changing both the political & the economic philosophy. Before Thatcher we had council houses, now we have nothing , which apparently is not a problem. That’s just one example out of thousands.
Even if that's true you should be blaming who created the conditions which allowed her to come to power.
@@Mitjitsu. That was OPEC!
@william You actually took time out to post that?😂
@@chatham43 can you try to actually string together a coherent counter argument 🥴
So no leader since thatcher is responsible for the lack of building new council houses?
Strange how not a single leader after thatcher put a foot wrong, every single blunder is her fault and hers alone, there hasn't been 30+ years since she left leadership to correct anything. 🤔
There are many things wrong with this country but every single one of them has been made worse by the Troy Party and the Brexit dead end the country chose to go down.

Austerity literally means the country paying off its debt and not living beyond its means. Do you think its a mistake to have responsible public spending?

Brown not going to the Polls with an 11% lead is a massive what if moment, if he does the next election would be 2012 and with the feelgood Olympics I think Labour could've won that too. Then you are looking at 20 years of Labour and I trust Brown to of kept the UK finacially stable and thriving in that period. No austerity and No brexit. What a wonderful world that would be.
I remember the English newspapers around that time ''scotsman ruling westmister ,not in this country'' (that is me putting the headlines modestly) NOW LOOK at what you got for a PM and the one before him and the one before her and the one before him and one before her then the really dodgy one before that who has managed to weasel his way back into the corruption parties top honchos again. While Osbourne sits in the BBC telling the masses ''war is great fun ,nothing to see here''
Ignoring that Brown was 110% an austerity PM.

Nigel Farage.
Dangerous 2 header.
😂😂😂
Sir Nigel!
I thought alot can be blamed on Ed Miliband stabbing his brother in the back and Davids exit from British politics.
@scott Wonder if they're on speaking terms yet?😊
I agree with the caller who said George Osborne. What a wicked wicked policy is austerity. The rich certainly didn't suffer from austerity, in fact they gained from it. It's all just too disgusting and blatant cronyism
I agree about the Gordon Brown. If he had called his election earlier, things might be very different. I remember before 2010 being so much better on so many ways. My life has been changed for the worse by the Tories and I’m still fighting to get the healthcare I need which was taken away. I might have been able to return to work. Instead, given drug after drug (now on 20 drugs a day) as the NHS isn’t geared up for healing, just treating. It’s a massive difference.
Hmm maybe it is true that it was a monumental mistake on Gordon Brown's part that he didn't run the election when he could have won it, but I wouldn't put the blame at his door for all that followed. After all, nothing _made_ the Coalition Government and the subsequent Conservative Government do what they did; they _chose_ to do so, and that choice was theirs and not Gordon Brown's. They could have made different choices, choices in Britain's best interests and _they_ chose not to.
''I don't see how tuition fees helped the breaking of Britain''
...Gatekeeping learning and trying to stop the commoners going to Uni isn't an issue to you James?
Seems a bit of an obvious issue!
That's a huge issue.
Education is one of the few equalizers in modern society and tacking a price tag to it means the less wealthy are more hindered in getting education.
This is something I am actually proud of here in Germany that there are no tuition fees (with a very few exceptions)!
Most unis in Britain provide an almost useless higher education anyway with the caveat of if you do a vocational programme like medicine or engineering, or else want to be a professional academic. Its a relic of a bygone age of scholarship, digging into some arcane study on how Henry 8th dismantled the church in history, or in economics trying to figure out if inflation and employment are connected, etc etc. Its become a big industry over the decades and doesnt produce the skills which are actually needed in business or in the public sector. On the question specifically of fees, if the taxpayer pays for higher education what happens is an electrician in Manchester ends up subsidising the daughter of a property developer in knightsbridge to read Jane Austin novels in English literature class when not going out for drinks with her friends in the student bar. Should the person receiving the benefit, perceived or real, not pay the cost for it? Isn't that real social justice?
You only pay it back if you earn enough and it’s out of your tax you can even resit a year and get funding
@@michaelnobbs5028 Still worse then just fund it upfront as lot of studies showed that putting tuition fees on higher education has an chilling effect especially for kids from poorer background.
Osbourne and Cameron
The electorate.
The uninformed electorate
Privitisation and lack of written constitution, plus fptp
I could see an argument for Nick Clegg.
He said that they'd sort student debt, which split the labour vote between lib dem and Labour. So that caused either labour to not get in, or gave LD enough seats that a coalition with the conservatives was possible that in turn gave them a "majority" because LD and Nick Clegg was too spineless to push back on things, which in turn allowed the conservatives to do what they wanted.
The lady was absoultey corrcert. Brexit,was voted in due to the financial malaise of the working and middle classes. Carmeron and Osbourne are 100% to blame for Brexit
That was like saying you had Indigestion so you sawed both legs off,
Voting Brexit was never a cure..
@@johnrussell3961 absoutley, but for lots of people it was the only protest vote available
Def Nick Clegg. He enabled the Eton Boys, wiped out the LibDems, supported austerity. If he’d gone with Labour, this would be a totally different country.
I'm not that old (30) but i honestly feel this decline has been happening for the last half a century based on datasets and statistics on factors in healthcare and the housing market:-
For example in 1970 you could buy the average home on the average wage in around 4.2 years salary (fully paid off) while by 2020 this had effectively doubled to 8.4 years.
In healthcare on the other side, there has been a continuous decline in hospital bed capacity year upon year (statista for reference - cant share links on YT anymore it seems). The health of the local population appears to have been continuous devalued in the view of many politicians while we have seen an increase in people out of work and difficulties accessing NHS services.
I'm confident there are a lot more factors involved which are clear but the point I make is that the country has not kept wages fairly in line with essential costs and those with ill health struggle more now to get support and treatments they require. When you make it so difficult to survive for many, people lose hope and stop looking after themselves which leads to a deadly combination of ill health with a system that can't effectively deal with it. Politicians in this country effectively need to bite the bullet and begin to look at balancing wages fairly in line with the cost of essentials or they can go for what economic outcome they want but the reality is businesses will continue to struggle to get quality workers, particularly with the housing crisis and pushback on reliance of foreign workers whom historically they have been able to pay less than uk minimum wage.
What Nick Clegg did broke the trust of a lot of young people in politics and politicians.
David Cameron is 100% at fault for everything
Started with Thatcher in eighties then made worse since 2010
Osborne has said Rachael Reeves is the heir to David Cameron and has praised her fiscal policies.
This is all our faults. We as a nation, all stood by and watched it happen. The media enabled it all. We watched them lie every single day. Can't blame anyone else.
Still trying to find the benefit from the infected blood stuff coming out myself, especially since having got rid of the HCV in 2017 and haven't seen any benefit from getting rid of it yet!
So much of the chaos started with Thatcher
No it didn't. Britain was overtaken economically by Germany in the 1870s and has been playing catchup ever since.
It can’t be denied that Nigel “Man of the PayPal” Farage played a crucial role in Brexit and the UK leaving the EU. His name will forever be synonymous with the success, the year on year improvements in the quality of life, living standards, economic prosperity, health and welfare, environmental standards, and international reputation and influence of our wonderful country since Brexit. We can only thank the Lord that he wasn’t successful in getting his German / EU passport ( unlike his children, who did, via his German ex wife )and moving to Germany.
Sounds like Nigel is living rent free in your headspace.
After Brexit trades man wages actually went up
At the end of the day, the Libdems enabled the Tories. It was the coalition’s policies of austerity that led to Brexit.
The caller regarding Nick Clegg has a point but from a different perspective. The thing that broke Britain is absolute majorities, whips and spineless MPs who go with the party no matter what. Lib Dem’s had a sizeable contribution to politics as the 3rd party and were key in removing this binary 2 party chaos. But since Nick Cleggs pathetic performance, Lib Dem’s have been decimated and therefore, the polarisation and further push to total binary parties is absolute chaos. The next election, I fear a huge majority Labour Party. No healthy democracy functions with huge majorities and strict 3 line whips. We need MPs to vote with their beliefs regardless of party.
Gordon Brown didn't contribute to bringing the country to its knees? Have we forgotten the 2008 global financial crash, of which GB was one of the main architects with his encouragement of the house price boom?
Don't talk about the truth like that!
I guess James ignores the fact that even though George ruined the country Reeves fiscal rules is just a continuation of Osbornes policies.
In a way, it's nice the incompetence and corruption has continued since Boris ran away in shame - we all have short memories and had there been even a few months of stability and tangible improvements, that may have all been forgotten and there may have been a real chance we'd have had another 4 years of the leavers who won't leave.
Let’s not forget that O’Brien is the man who spends most of his time crying about how biased everyone else is…incredible
On thing Nick Clegg did was give Cameron a taste for referendums with the AV referendum. And because it was a referendum for something the Lib Dems didn't want they didn't campaign that hard.
Cameron got to see just how neat referendums could be and how some creative story telling coyld help you get the result you want.
So arguably it led to the later Tory majority (when a bunch of Lib Dems stopped voting in disgust with the coalition) and the Brexit referendum...
That's my argument for why Nick Clegg should be on the list.
But very low down on the list.
Peter Thiel - American tech CEO and venture capitalist who won the NHS IT contract.
I feel like there was another one where the NHS were given software on the cheap/free but then the renewal cost was astronomical- as was the quote for moving everything over to a new system... Maybe it was the Thiel contract, maybe it was American healthcare... But anyone who goes into the NHS for a profit margin could justifiably go in an appendices, at the very least.
Tony Blair, shifted Overton window by shifting Labour right of center took Britain from boom to bust and made the current tories swing far right.
This is one of my favourite segments James has actually done.
Anyone considering voting Tory needs to remember that this is not the conservative party of pre 2016. The centrists like Rory Stewart etc have been purged and what remains is something completely different. To be honest, the current labour party is nearer to what the old Tories were pre '16.
"If you want better politics, you don't need better politicians… you need a better electorate."
- Christopher Hitchens.
The likes of Johnson and Farage obviously sicken me for what they consciously did, but they were acting in their own self interest and it's kind of in their nature. The one who really frustrates me is Jeremy Corbyn. At a time where we needed a Keir Starmer and a rock solid labour party, we had an ideologue who refused to put electability above his personal passions. To allow him to sit there ruminating on socialism whilst for years people were telling him "Dianne Abbott is a liability", "the antisemitism business NEEDS sorting out", "the general populace who aren't young adults do not want this socialist rhetoric, they want sensible social democratic liberalism and they want you to give them a reason to swing red as opposed to blue" - it makes me want to blame him for letting us continue rolling on past him down the hill, even if he wasn't the one who gave us the push to begin with. What a waste of an opportunity to stop this carnage his campaign was.
Well said. I would only replace "frustrates" by "infuriates", but other than that, my thoughts exactly.
To be fair if the client media didn't destroy Ed Miliband over a photo of him eating a bacon sandwich we probably wouldn't be in this mess now! But you are right Corbyn should have done what Starmer is doing now.....play the long game and when in power you can start talking about more socialist things!
So you want Sir Kid Starver rather than a man of principal
@@colinmack8655 the man of principle lost an election because he sat on his hands over Brexit!

England are Tory. And they decide what Tories they prefer. Most seats in England will never vote for the left.

To blame David Davis for single handedly changed an Indicative Referendum into a legally binding vote to leave during a few moments speach in the commons !!!
The issue on the breaking of Britain is that basically , we don’t have any effective opposition or alternative to the current establish political system, this leads to stay on the path of repugnance with the offer currently put before us...we risk as in all times in history making a stark choice, either we go with ‘what is’ regardless of its ‘same ingredients’ in different measures or as said by many, different cheeks of the same back side, or we risk going into the unknown with a coalition of independence and a hung parliament, that we take our chances on...I would rather take my chance than continue down the route that is currently mapped out for us by mainstream media and politicians..with the established ways of working, which does not serve the people, but appear to be more elitist self-service for the corrupt political class, and the ruling establishment who enjoy exponential growth in their wealth, at the cost of the many and our public services...?
