@@dotsgrey I'm interested, what was the message?
At least it's not as bad as it is in the US.
"We've sold everything off to foreign companies" "I always vote Conservative". There you have it. The Great British Idiocy has spoken.
But the Left embraced open borders Globalisation and has no solutions to.

@@maccagrabme The guy is right. The Cons sold our water , energy companies, fishing quotas and whatever they could to foreign companies and those companies milk us out. But that was a will of the Tory voters.
It amazes me that someone can say that they always voted Conservative and then, with no hint of irony, complains about all of the nationalised industries being sold off.
Yep, that struck me as an indication of complete political ignorance.
We don’t like people coming to our country. Ukrainian, yes they can come.
That’s why they don’t educate us… then we’d know what’s up.
It was Blair who partly privatised the NHS with his trusts
@@martinspeer262 This guy is old enough to have voted for Thatcher though. You would have thought that if he didn't like nationalised industries being sold off then he wouldn't have liked the conservatives. British Telecom, British Gas, British Steel, British Airways... Need I go on. I'm not arguing whether it's a good or bad thing, but this guy is expressly saying that he thinks it's a bad thing, yet has always voted conservative and doesn't see the irony.
Tony Blair was just a diet tory anyway.
Unbelievable. They've convinced these people the single mother at the food bank is the enemy and not the tory billionaire that put her there.

@@evolassunglasses4673 calm down, Enoch. This subject is about 30 IQ points above your reach. If your right wing media hadn’t kept you agitated and your alternative media hadn’t fed you so much disinformation, you wouldn’t be too disoriented today and realise just how silly what you’re saying is in practice.
And of greater importance... If you were better informed rather than constantly manipulated and contorted by that same press (there are practically books and studies on how effectively this works), you would stop voting for the very types of people who've made your lives miserable and then redirected your anger to trivial issues.

I have 2 mates that voted a mixture of Greens and Labour for years; then they became self-employed. Once they worked for themselves then their whole attitude changed, it was all about the Tories. When I asked why, they said "because I pay waaaaaay less taxes owning my own business than I did working for someone else". When it comes down to it, it's just about self-interest and greed; that's the only reason to ever vote Tory.
You don’t pay less tax, but you can write off work costs - which you can also do when employed.
@@biscuit4259 having never owned my own business nor had the desire to pay less than what should be paid out, I wouldn't know any of these contemptible loopholes. What I do know is that both of their construction and cleaning business folded within 18 months of the brexit result. They voted brexit because of "foreigners", and yet between 80-85% of their employees were foreigners; which they didn't declare and paid less than minimum wage. They took advantage of tax loopholes because that how the scum Tories set it it; so they and their rich donor friends can pay less, percentage wise, than regular people.
like the majority of the world's population.
@@biscuit4259 that is not true.
What about the working class people who don't own businesses and vote Tory? Tories don't get near power with the votes of business owners and rich people alone.
Nothing worse than working class Tories unbelievable.
Amen
@@Mircose all happy to suppress others while being "I'm alright"
When the Left embraced open borders Globalisation (rule by international finance) it was always going to lose the working class.
It’s an oxymoron 🤦🏾♀️
This is the safest Tory seat as well!!
They don’t seem to care that the Tories make them way poorer. As long as benefit claimants and immigrants are inflicted with pain.
The craziest thing that's ever happened is the Tories convincing these types of people into voting against their own interests.
Well, that was the billionaire owners of newscorp, the daily mail etc really. Convincing people to vote against their own interests so the billionaires get their tax breaks, starving government coffers, while the public blame refugees, people on benefits and single mothers.
The greatest job all politicians have done is convince you that any government no matter what the party colour is has your best interest at heart. You are playing chequers while the politicians are playing 4D chess. Their job is to convince you the reason the country is in a mess is because others vote for a different party than yours and you will blame the public rather than the government. Keep dancing away puppets 🚨🚨🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🚨🚨
People don't like to face reality or take self responsibility, it's always easier to blame someone else for your problems.
@Charles M I'd say fair play to some extent however its quite clear in this case who are the worse of the bunch. One side tanked the economy to the worst its been in a very very long time and has been investigated in for multiple wrongdoings. The other while isn't the best has at least stated they want to raise tax of the mega rich. I know who would get my vote its not that difficult of a decision.
All they ahve to say is ' but look at all those people in dingees ' and it distracts them long enough
These people are very easily fooled and the Torys know it. Instead of helping them, they take advantage. Disgusting.
My old man always used to say that "To vote tory you either have to be very rich or very stupid", this video proves it.
Reminder: Other people who are suffering aren't the enemy.
Exactly, the real enemy is the establishment that is pitting the people against each other.
Rage at the machine. Not at other poor/disadvantaged people

If voting mattered it wouldn’t be allowed. Same dog different collar
Whats more shocking is that the UK was in a political union since 1992 but its people were never asked if they wanted political union until 2016!!!!!!! The leftism infection Europe is enduring at the moment is being looked at very carefully around the rest of the world.

We live in a 2 party system. Corbyn particularly when he committed to rerunning the Referendum was always going to crash.
"It aint cost him 10p for the coffee and he's charging me £3.50, where's the logic in it?" Well the logic in it is them having to pay for rent, electricity, gas, equipment, wages, PAYE, tax, business rates, insurance etc all while trying to generate a level of profit that allows them to keep a roof over their head.
I can't believe a place that sells hot drinks, cakes and sandwiches can make enough profit to support a person.
Irony here is the guy was self employed, surely he knows its more complicated than a bit of coffee and water?
@@IndigoIndustrialthe teahouse is a pretty damn ancient concept
@@rachelthecool2880 Think about how much it takes to support a person in a place that has enough economic activity for a viable cafe e.g. not out in the remote countryside.
Plus he says the government don't want anything to do with it. That's called free enterprise. The government can't go and regulate the price of coffee. It's bizarre to see these viewpoints at all, but especially from Conservative voters, who you'd typically think as being more business-friendly. It just seems like yet another case of the poor voting for the rich.
Anyone says "living off of benifits" doesn't know how benefits work.
It’s heartbreaking how much power the right wing media has on the poorly educated! The pensioner who thought she was better off reminded me entirely of my mother who saw herself as a step up from these common people struggling to live because they don’t know how to budget! Ffs they would be dead if they didn’t know how to budget.
When the Left embraced open borders Globalisation (rule by international finance) it was always going to lose the working class (and have no solutions).
Istabout right some people just don't want to grab the facts 🙄🙄🙄
They deserve nothing more than a first class ticket to the food banks👉
Exactly. People get one tiny step up and think "I'm rich" or "I must be upper class now, better vote Tory". They are not grounded in reality.
Sadly, these people remind me of my own parents as well - you're definitely not alone.
I bet that pensioner you are slagging off knows how to budget better than you and has lived a better life and has more manners and respect for others.
"Stop giving out benefits to those who don't need it. Most of them spend it on alcohol or drugs." - Woman who has clearly never spoken to a poor person in her life.

My blood pressure rose during this video. These people don’t seem to be bad in any way, they just seem like they have Stockholm Syndrome.
They’re ignorant and seem to all be in their conservative filter bubbles.
It’s so important they open their mind up to the other view points, but it’s hard when all you read and hear are viewpoints which suite your own viewpoint.

What character trait do you suppose explains this attitude?
I believe it is called Stockholm Syndrome
Oh come off it, the Welfare State will be the downfall of this country, the people that replied to your observation no doubt live in communities where they see that those claiming benefits are often better off than themselves even tho they work 40-60 hours per week
@@BillSikes.There's a lot of people on benefits in my area. It's not a very well off area. But if there's one thing I can tell you it's that they are definitely not earning more than the average worker in the area. That notion is absurd.
Should have asked for her statistical based evidence.
There should be a minimum IQ in order to vote. This is embarrassing.
IQ is a terrible measure that is biased against actually smart people. A high amount of the smartest people have ADHD or Autism. IQ tests are highly biased AGAINST those with ADHD or Autism. IQ would make it even worse
A very good argument to turn Canvey island into a flood plain 🤦♂️
As she said, "they should stop handing out benefits who dont really need it, they are only using it for drugs anyways" I thought of the millions handed out for that private school and other Tory donors and thought she was right, but somehow I got the feeling that is not who she was talking about
Same here!
It's all standard Daily Mail memes. People on benefits buy expensive toys like televisions and phones, so they do not deserve benefits. Pensioners, on the other hand, also buy expensive toys like televisions and phones, but that is fine, because they are Daily Mail readers, so they deserve it, living off working people, as they do.
I honestly thought that lady was talking about giving public money to donors and cronies until she said 'then they spend it all know drugs and alcohol'.
That guy talking about all the Tory lies and selling off public assets to private companies and not seeing how that means maybe voting for them isn't a good idea...
Don’t blame drugs… blame the overwhelmingly sophisticated jobs and general lack of exciting opportunities. Depending on drugs but… I don’t see the parallel between soft drugs and poverty. Holland is a great example of rather well functioning society while soft drugs are affordable and available all day long. There’s no harm in having a little bit of something after long day at work.
Little beer or smoke… no problem. Question is more like… are you gonna tax and benefit from it or are you going to leave this opportunity for young opportunistic entrepreneurs on the streets. Tax money could fix roads and pay pensions.
I know yeah …she started well…and then
Just nuked it !!🤦♀️
"They've sold everyfink orf to foreign interests"

Better to sell the companies to foreign investors than invite them to come and fucking live here.
blair did it too! starmer is going to continue the tory policies!! Guess we're screwed ether way!!!
Where do you live - under a rock ? Labour did it too before you were born, Bliar did it as well. Do you always talk rubbish or only sometimes ?
That one guy who was all about "we sold it off" was awfully close to a realization: Privatization as an issue, especially wh2n it comes to basic services. Just doesn't matter if it's sold to foreigners (and the people facilitating it just line their pockets) or it's privatized domestically.
They have no idea what they are talking about. Privatisation has been the cornerstone of conservative policy since Thatcher's Britain. She sold BT. Privatisation began in the late 1970s, and notable privatisations include the Central Electricity Generating Board, British Rail, and more recently Royal Mail.
Conservative voters are extremely frustrating to listen to, it's a shame Murdoch press have so much control and market share in Britain, the same in Australia. He has created a majority of very poorly informed individuals who have relinquished their collective power to corporations that have completely diddled them and yet they still can't bring themselves to vote Labour and support unions or renationalise essential public services.

Still some people blaming our troubles on benefits! Working class people saying it too! It’s absolutely ridiculous. The Benefits that people get in this country are so low it amazes me how people on benefits get by with such little money. DWP are also extremely extremely cruel with their decisions for disabled and long term sick citizens getting any benefits. DWP would say a washed up torso should work. Always remember you never know what’s round the corner in life, you may be in the same vulnerable position that other people are in. The people that blame benefits and immigration and not the liberty takers at the top it makes me so angry.
Yup, I'm really offended by them. Worked 35 years got very sick, still sick no nhs help and ppl like her say stuff like that. The dwp process has killed hundreds and I don't know how I made it through. I wish I was fit and well and worked and could leave this now poxy isle full of idiots ✌
Well said. I used to work for the DWP about 25 years ago, and it was shockingly bad back then for all the reasons you just listed. I cannot begin to fathom just how awful it is nowadays.
Turkeys voting for Christmas.
I worked with citizens advice years ago when people were switched to ESA and I saw the cruel, deceitful and abhorrent ways the DWP handled their claimants. So sad to see it is still going on.
Sad to see the contempt people have for those on benefits. Aren't we better than this as a nation? The alternative is to vehemently fight for every division within our society whilst the ruling class go about quitely robbing us, selling everything the possibly can to anyone that will buy it and cementing their power.
Canvey is a great example where the rich have managed to convince the poor that other poor people are trying to take what they've got.
Sad how convinced these people are when they can't even form a coherent sentence
The interviewer has such a perfect voice for this, the tone is so comforting and trustworthy. 👏👏
Infuriates me that everyone was annoyed about benefits and no one mentioned the sheer amount of cash tories poured into their mates businesses during covid.
Especially that guy that was wondering why we sold all our assets...
Most people are too thick and ignorant to even comprehend that activities like that go on
@@jayharrison7782 Yeah, so much has been normalised by throwing some new scandal in its place. Matt Hancock's Contracts to his local pub owner & mate flew under the radar after his affair.
In the past I've honestly thought about doin myself in from the shame of disability benefits, felt like a burden to everyone even tho I worked too, across healthcare but DWP spend more money on hounding people, making life harder for those who struggle & appealing lawsuits than supporting em, so it stings a little bit extra when they make comments like that after Liz Truss blew £100 Billion. 6 Weeks of work after Queen's death and she's set for life with her free salary, for quitting.
Yet they go after us instead of their donors like Lady Mone, idiots like Truss & Boris, or murderers like Therese Coffey. Most people will agree with them and hate people like me. Or Roy Curtis, or Errol Graham, or Jodey Whiting and her Son, or James Harrison... It doesn't seem right. There was one homeless lad who got a lot of flack cause he couldn't find a job on UC, but was trying, he broke down. I shed a tear seeing it. I know this comment won't change anything but... Idk
7:10 it's your conservative party that sold and privatised everything that the U.K owned. Royal Mail, trains, BT, water suppliers, oil and gas in North Sea and many more things. If they had a chance they will sell your mum. 😂
Typical Tory mentality
I laugh at the victim mentality of the Brits. Whenever benefit fraud is mentioned, Brits rush to defend poor fraudsters with whataboutism- ‘ but the rich are the true scammers! Rich evades taxes yadi yadi ya ‘.
Yes, we know rich people try to pay less taxes, but that is natural when the wealthiest 5% of this country is getting shafted hand over fist. They pay the most tax, exceeding what the bottom 80% pay.
I find benefit scum to be the worst as they are lazy slugs, preferring to rip off the hard working people rather than work.

"Stop giving money to the ones that dont need it." But she forgets that the problem is not the few people that resort to alcohol or drugs to soften their daily struggles. The problem is that upper-middle-class people use divide and conquer to keep the poor focused at eachother fighting over scraps instead of measures that increase government income to start building a society in which everyone can live in relative wealth.
That was painful to watch. Wow have those people been taken in to act against their own best interests.

This downward envy is sickening...it is not poorer people that are ruining the country !!!
I was on benefits for a while. It was about £70 a week and I had to pay £10 of that into my rent. If anybody anywhere can survive on that and spend it all on alcohol and drugs they have my respect! And good luck to them.
@@_Meng_Lan She needs to shut her mouth and watch I, Daniel Blake. and realise people in the 5th richest country in the world actually live like what is depicted in the film each and every day.
I was on £250 a month in 2018 at 23 years old before the pandemic. Thankfully I had just come out from university and was living at home with mum and dad. That's the benefits people are complaining about?? Oh yes I was really living the high life wasn't I? Absolutely pathetic they are.🤣 Thank God I have a property, side business and good career now. That experience pushed to me succeed like no other.
@@tessy28 that sounds like an argument in favour of low benefits ngl.
They must think you can buy drugs and booze like sports socks 2 for a £1 in the market.
@@Private-Hudson I know someone who took some French relatives to see the film and they were sceptical it was a true depiction. They thought it was some dysfunctional nightmare. They couldn't believe people weren't out on the streets rioting.

He's not seeing the big picture. If everyone starts smoking drugs they'll be too wasted to drive.
This video needs cutting to the video of Peter hitchens saying that the problem with most conservates is that they don't think....
The fact that anyone’s against cannabis in 2023 is crazy. Alcohol and tobacco are way worse.
Wow some impressive points of view. I’m genuinely concerned 😮
"I think I am better off, even though I am not, so I vote Conservative." What are these people talking about? They cannot see the conflict between the thoughts in their heads and what they say and do in public. You know it's going to go badly when people mention the fact that Britain has always accepted foreigners or that they, 'aren't racist' and proceed by saying 'but......' Anyway, I am increasingly disturbed by my compatriots. I suppose I am a moron. I am off to work so I better get ready to praise the tories for all the hard-work and excellent governance they are doing on my behalf. Hang on, no, I mean the opposite of that. Ad altiora!

Tribal affiliation is more important than grifting liars lining their pockets at the expense of the electorate.

Well that is what kind of happens when things go south except in this case the overarching tribal affiliation that is taking precedence is ethnic.

"They vote Labour because they see Conservatives as better off" - honestly, what pills are these people taking
She says: "Some people shouldn't be unless there is a war zone". At the same time: "We are not racist". This is the most racist thing to say. So the thinking is, since you weren't born in UK, then you shouldn't be allowed there in any way or form, unless your country is a war zone.
I voted conservative because I’m better off and I know voting Tory keeps me above the poor. -Most tories.

Trouble is, we no longer have a true conservative party. Haven't for years. They are no different than labour now.
The tricky thing with the "common people" is often that they complain that the politicians treat them as if they were stupid but then their way of arguing is the best proof that they actually are.
The only stupid people around here are the ones who don't realise these people were carefully chosen to make left wing twits feel smug.
@@markperrin8098 Well said, I watch right wing channels too and they tend to interview idiots with blue hair and strange pronouns!

Precisely this sadly, people get upset in the comments for saying stuff like this but most people do need to be treated like idiots as much as they don't like to hear it, imagine putting actual important country changing decisions in the hands of these people! Oh wait... we did...

The state of England, our education system isn't the best but even that isn't an excuse for this level of wilful ignorance.
It isn't. I've been in developing countries across the world and spoken to cleaners and janitors who earn less than £2 a day, but still have an understanding of politics and which party will work in their interests. This video really reveals how you can have people like the woman at 6:37 who would happily vote Boris Johnson back in, but in the same breath complain about the rate of homelessness and how much people are financially struggling. It's ridiculous.
Exactly, certainly not the most erudite people in the world.
Educated at the University of Wetherspoons.
Add tabloids to the mix also. Some of these talking points are straight from the red tops.
That's what reading the Daily Mail gets you. Cuts in public spending including education result in these levels of ignorance.
Give the simple people someone (imaginary or real) they can look down on no matter how poor they themselves are, someone they can fear of, and they will gladly vote against their own interests.
The idea that labour is unemployed people is so dumb when unemployment is at 4%...that means 96% of people that can work are, and far more than 4% vote labour
Hearing fellow working class people be so ignorant and cruel to people is painful. It’s all me, me, me, white, white, white and not how we can help everyone which is possible.
Exactly. It's shocking
I don't want to help everyone.
What part of this was cruel to people? And what has “white, white, white” got to do with anything.
It's a tale as old as time with the British public
Lol its not only Brits who see themselves and their own community before others
at first i liked the bloke in the flat cap, talking how the Tories are finished, but when he starts going on about "This isn't England, anymore! We're 2nd class ciotizens!" i rolled my eyes...
Same here. I thought they'd actually found a rational voter who seemed to know a little more than the average Tory voter, but nope.
Peel off the top layer and there's the festering racism and nationalism all over again.
He actually said the last couple of years have been really good but it's going downhill now 🤣 the history books will always remember the delirious days of 2019-2021 when everything was just so nice and so good, and then the building materials increased in price in 2022 and ruined it!
Why? Because he's right and you don't like hearing it, you fucking parasite :D
These people will vote Conservative until the bitter end.
Voting against thewir own interest has to be among the dumbest things anyone can do
“ it’s Easier To Fool People Than To Convince Them That They’ve Been Fooled”
"Sometimes MPs treat the public like we haven't got a brain" well each time we've had a vote so far (particularly over the past 6 years) we prove them right, so it's unsurprising that they then continue to behave like this towards us
To be fair though, all of those votes have gone in the favour of those very politicians. The issue is not the public that lacks intelligence. The issue is the information sources that are designed to manufacture the results those in power want. When you listen to arguments even by the people in this video, I roll my eyes. But it's not like they just came up with the BS coming out of their mouths. Somebody has nurtured it in their head, and sadly, until we deal with the sources of that propaganda nothing's going to get better.
I’m a newbie to this channel, this video is gold. 😊 well done 👍🏻
This is thoroughly depressing and saddening, but it basically sums up why the Tories have remained in power for so long. The influence of right-wing media moguls really shouldn’t be underestimated, it seeps into every home and poisons minds against each other. The Tories rely on othering the working class against themselves, and othering immigrants against everybody, because it distracts from the true causes of the misery that so many people are suffering these days. They scapegoat the voiceless in society, then demonise anything bordering on progressive social reform, and in doing so they obfuscate their own amoral behaviours for their own self-enrichment and the pursuit of their ever increasing power… I don’t see how this can lead us to anywhere other than extremism, each time the pendulum swings… I’m so thoroughly hopeless about the future of democracy.
"Who would sell a business that's making that kind of money" - the people he voted for.

The man who states rishi forced Boris out didn't realise rishi is a brexiteer. God their lack of knowledge is scary. Even for the party they vote for!! C'est incredible!

I bet at their cores, BoJo is more remain inclined and “progressive” than Sunak, who is an outright Brexiteer of the Thatcher variety, but perhaps not as unhinged as Liz Truss.
If you believe Rishi is a genuine brexiteer you must still believe in Santa..... I mean Liebore Party. Are you for real?
Did you see the Joe interview were Conservative members got asked about why they vote tory and one said its because they are the anti establishment party?
He's a bit brown, isn't he? So must be bad, of course. And Boris was just so much fun...
Would be easier to just look at Telegraph, Express and Daily Mail headlines of you want Tory supporters opinions. They don't seem to have any thoughts of their own
"I vote conservative because I feel like I'm better off than a lot of people". ...So you vote for the party that's hell bent on making sure that you're not? Voting conservative is not a status symbol. Hell, it's a sign of mental illness at this point.
It's said that the thing the Tories most fear is the sight of a working-class kid reading a book...

I want to know the conversation you guys had on the way home after listening to these people. I cannot wrap my head around how they have come to the conclusions they have.
"Socrates's point is that voting in an election is a skill, not a random intuition. And like any skill, it needs to be taught systematically to people. Letting the citizenry vote without an education is as irresponsible as putting them in charge of a trireme sailing to Samos in a storm." not my words but pretty spot on.
damn amazing quote ty
But it's exactly what the billionaires class want, hence why they lobby governments to not invest in public education, universities, and state libraries.
Spot on!! The people in power want you to stay dumb
Let me remind everyone how Socrates died, he was tried by a jury made up of 500 athenians, the death sentence was achieved by a narrow margin, so his life was decided by citizens who intellectually did not reach his ankle.
