why are you shilling ai gen garbage , we dont need more ultra low effort ai gen stores and dropshipping scams good to know you are morally happy to get your viewers scammed by that
we ARE a puppet. Have been since we lost everything. Right now, American HAS an empire of puppets. Ourselves being one. Personally, I believe all views are equal, yet I can always called Fascist whenever I criticize things the Americans believe, or use actual facts. I understand not all Americans are like this. But frankly? I say we should take what is ours. First get the Falklands back FULLY from the Argentines, then we see if we're even the "UK" anymore. All due respect Ireland, but you left. Scotland, you keep talking about it and yet we pay more per head by FAR. Wales, try existing a year without any help from England side...I dare you. England IS the heart of the UK. We are not THE UK. But if this was a family, we are the breadwinner, or should at least TRY to be so. Before anyone says I am some old guy btw or that I "don't have a clue what I'm talking about". I'm 20 in January, and actually study politics to a current college degree. As well as a bit of common sense. Someone WILL always be on top of the world, look at history in general to see that. Facts are facts. If someone wants to argue against me, sure. You're allowed your view. But this goes two ways. And to date, only 2 times in my life have I change my view even to a slight degree WITHOUT logical reasoning....if anything your emotions stuff just pisses me off.
I think the main thing here is that Capitalism, Globalisation and Consumerism is replacing local culture, and America just so happens to utterly dominate these things
You're just describing the American empire, I'm sorry, they call it "the rules based world order" the first victims of Americanism was the south, look at that culture now, no balls(dances), no aristocracy to guide the society to keep it's organic flavour, slavery aside they had their identity reconstructed by foreigners, now when you think of a southerner you think low born "white trash" not gentleman farmers. They've done the same in Australia too, an Ocker used to be the pinnacle of cultural significance, now they're called bogans and derided by educated urbanites as the scum of the earth, to the point that the party they started in the 1890s discarded them as an electorate, leaving them and their interests unrepresented. The American empire and it's consequences have been a disaster for human diversity.
True it's the biggest economy look at the success of McDonald's however China and India are rising powers, and with Trump in charge again and the likes of tariffs on the cards it will not be good for the UK.
I'm an American immigrant in the UK (have lived here for about 12 years), and you are bang on both about the trend and the implications. I spend way too much time thinking about this, but as a person who is deeply affected by both governments and their policies, my beloved BRITS: you do not want this to continue in the current direction.
Of course most in the UK do not want what the Americans embrace. Honestly it's a loud minority in British politics that wants the nonsense of American oligarchy.
You might be the first American immigrant who doesn't call themselves an "expat". Props to you. It's not a dirty word. You moved according to your needs, and that's an important part of the human experience.
My Bro in law thought he broke his foot on New Years eve. He called up the UK NHS on New Years day and got an appointment that afternoon to Xray and deal with the torn ligament damage he did. He was back home today Jan 2nd and cost to him = 0

None of us want this, the banking elites want it. Us regular people want our access to NHS healthcare, the way we knew only 15-20 years ago, before it was overburdened with ""new arrivals""
@@bg2516you want no parts of our healthcare system. I fainted and had a seizure freshman year of college. The ambulance ride alone had a bill of $730 and that’s for a ride less than 1000ft given that the hospital is ride next to the college campus. I wasn’t held overnight yet after everything I was looking at a bill upwards of $4700. Also, my roommate stopped paying for insurance because even though she had an expensive plan, they still didn’t cover anything so she was practically just throwing money at them. That’s the reality here.
American here and I loved this. I’ve heard how they’re trying to privatize the NHS. I couldn’t think of a worse idea for Britain. They should be building it back up, not tearing it down!
They’re not trying to privatise the NHS right now, at least not explicitly. We have prominent figures who I’m sure if they were given the power would love to, such as Farage and co, but luckily they’re not in Government right now. For how long I’m not sure though.
You can only have an NHS if you have controlled borders. If you want a neo liberal, anyone can move anywhere society , then it's not going to work as you will just be flooded with people who want free health and free benefits. You just end up becoming the nanny of the world.
The elites are filling their pockets at the expense of the British. Doing a similar thing they did during the empire. They don't care, parliament is a corrupt pantomime swayed by the house of lords and foreign investors. Never trust the British government
The NHS is terrible! Americans should get the German system . it's public insurance nobody is without insurance plus unlike the UK you can see a doctor anywhere. Just like private healthcare.
@@jonathanmarkham1998I can't stand Farage but if he wants to abolish the NHS for a German style system I'm all for it! Brits worship the NHS like the royals despite costing them lots with poor service
Seems like Blair seems to escape most criticism of this Americanisation. He created a supreme court, gave the bank of England independence and basically completed the transition of Britain to a service economy that started under Thatcher.
It's really weird to me that the right-wing and often nationalists are the ones most willing to embrace American ideals. A guy I used to know ran for Conservative councillor in my local area. He hated that his son used words like "garbage" because it's "so American", meanwhile he's arguing for us all to essentially become American in a much more meaningful way - not just embracing language but embracing rampant neo-liberal capitalism, flogging the NHS for private healthcare and backing the US in virtually every conflict they decide to wade into. Absolutely mental.
Not really. British nationalists consider America's strength to be an extension of the British Empire. Kind of like a father who vicariously lives through his children. In their minds, the things that they are imitating from the US are just British values that got lost, but preserved in their former colony.
@@MrDanielvass It's weird, it used to function like 10-15 years ago. If only there was some way to explain why a taxpayer funded service suddenly started to get stretched so thinly in the last decade? Maybe a large influx of people using the service who haven't contributed at all via taxes to pay for the service? That would explain the decline. Ahh what am I saying, it can't be that, must be some other thing. Magic maybe?
@@nervesconcord as a nation we’re too sick, too old, too fat. Other nations of a similar population size who spend less of a percentage of the tax intake on healthcare have better services than us.
Has anyone else realised the insane amount of american stores coming to places like Birmingham, and Manchester in recent years. Birmingham all of a sudden has popeyes, taco bell, blank street coffee, and wingstop.
yeah buts what funny about that is that they need to abide by strict British food quality laws. So its actually better than youd get in the states where they are from
When I hear that bit talking about America and Britain's 'special relationship', it makes me think of that quote from Love Actually; "I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to Britain".
As an American it’s a one way thing, the British say this but Americans don’t, I noticed after living in both that Brits care A LOT more about us than Americans care about Britain or anything outside the country for that matter
I taught English in Hungary in 92-93. I used a well-known textbook on idioms from the early 20's. It had an index at the end of the book for maybe 300 differences between British and American English. I went through that list with two Scottish teachers and over 2/3 s of those differences disappeared with the Brits having adopted the Americanisms....this has been going on for a long time.
That mind-numbing comment from Thatcher about NASA, reminded me of some facts about the Mercury and Apollo missions, that for every dollar put into it there was 8 dollars in economic activity created and that the number of applicants for PHD's jumped up 66%. Especially when you look at the computing that went into those missions, it's no wonder the US became dominant in that sector. Imagine if Thatcher wasn't economically illiterate and had understood this. The money generated from those missions alone was the same as the entire UK economy at the time and think of all the innovations we could have had from more PHD students on top. Britain would be well something like the 1950s again.
And now America has fallen into the same trap. Consistently divests from science and technology, particularly in the space sector but also in energy. The claim is that it is frivolous spending. But now the U.S government is subsidizing companies like spaceX to play around with reusable rockets, which they haven't accomplished yet. SpaceX is yet to fulfill NASA benchmarks. And yet, taxpayer revenue is being poured down their gullet. It's quote literally a cash drain for the country. Because even if SpaceX accomplishes reliable reusable flights, what the hell are they even going to do with it anyways? Whatever use cases, the government is going to agree to whatever pricing structure SpaceX sets forth because the rich help eachother out. So, those prices are going to be levied once again on consumers and taxpayers.
I never trust those studies that show taking money from someone and spending it on yourself makes the person you stole from wealthier. However, we were openly violating the Bretton Woods accord, so we were massively profiting from printing money that wasn’t backed by gold. Now? SpaceX is utterly embarrassing NASA with innovations and capabilities.
@RussOlson-pl3kf Not sure what material you're referring to, but several common plastics (e.g. polyethylene, polystyrene, PET) were first synthesized and discovered before these missions, in unrelated contexts.
I'm an American a believe and feel that the UK should never let go of their culture, some of their traditions, and just an overall character of the whole nation should never be like anyone else, it'd be the same for me if the situation were reversed, what makes both nations great is our fundamental cultural identity, whatever that is.
Too late, have fun with your increasing numbers of illegal immigrants that despise your culture, while you sit around and let it happen. Why bother holding governments and corporations accountable for their corruption when you can live, laugh, love.
English culture was replaced with British, which now means anything and everything. Ever since the UK decided to let in millions of migrants every so few years, our culture becomes replaced and destroyed.
You could have done the Americanisation of the world. Their corporations are so large no one else can really compete so we end up consuming so much American media, products, culture.... Sometimes little things break through- like Bluey - but usually the only things we see are corporate board room and algorithm created content designed to dominate everywhere we get content from.
Not just clothing and tech corporations everywhere We also consume their movies tv shows music video games and their technology too we’re using an American Website now.
@@superbananas7792 the far right global alliance is forming. Donald trump first, Nigel Farage next, then the rest of europe and there’s nothing you can do about it. Say goodbye to your woke utopia. It’s over.
The amount of middle class Labour supporters not realising that parties like Reform come about and gain popularity because of people having genuine concerns being told "shut up, you and your concerns are racist" rather than actually addressing longstanding and very real issues. I side with neither group but even I can explain why mass immigration is shafting our economy from a purely economic perspective, not even caring about the cultural stuff Reform supporters care about.
@ReligiousPatriot Farage has openly spoken about how great privatised healthcare is. Plenty of videos out there and that on it's own should be a warning.

Brexit was horrific for our economy. Privitisation is killing most of us whilst making a very few extremely wealthy. I have no idea what could be done to improve it because of the political porpaganda being able to turn around the terrible Tory leadership over the last few years.
@MrDanielvass We do need private company's. I'm not saying we should be socialist or communist with zero private companies. I'm saying privatising our water has regressed our waterworks whilst making owners more wealthy through dividends. I'm not anti capitalist, I'm against exploitation of workers and consumers.
@@MrDanielvassno we don't, they are parasites feeding off the nation state. If a government builds a car factory, it is paid for through taxes. Now all the profit goes back into the country. If a company builds a car factory, it is still paid for by UK citizens through pricing on goods and all the profit is spirited away. Advocating for private industry is anti patriotic.
@ it hasn’t. I work in the water industry. You should have seen the state of things pre privatisation. Why do you think the government wanted it off the tax bill? The network is over 150 years old in places, and it’s all underground. Each water company has somewhere in the region of 80,000kms of subterranean sewer. It’s going to take decades and billions to upgrade. Without private investment, it would be even more expensive to carry out.
@@MrDanielvass The Tories refused to fund these services to the point that privatisation seems like the better alternative. They've done it with a ton of other public services and they, and Reform, are now trying to do it to the NHS. It's all in the name of taxes or better services, but in reality, it's all just for funelling more money to the rich.
@@CoolWood-fy6rj in fact that prussia we know frim history, who fought with napoleon, partitioned poland and unified germany, is not the same, the original prussia that was polish fief. In fact that "prussia" everyone know was more Brandenburg than Prussia because in late 17th cent both things happened. Original Prussia broke out of beeing polands fief and the its ruler (hohenzolern) died without heir. So the other line of hohenzolerns ruling in Brandenburg got this state and connected it with personal union. In 18th century the monarch of brandenburg got the permission of habsburg HRE emperor to get coronated in konigsberg as the "king IN PRUSSIA". But later he renamed whole state (brandenburg prussia) to Kingdom of Prussia. The state had 2 capitals: koningsberg and more important berlin.
I'm an American who emigrated to Britain in 2007, specifically because I wanted to live in a country with a less paranoid and insular and anti-intellectual politics, with better health care and public transport, etc. To a large extent, Britain had delivered, and I don't regret the move. And some of the Americanising trends I've seen since then -- like how it's become so much easier to find combined taps and good Mexican food -- are things I'll defend to the death. But both Brexit and the Americanisation of UK politics have been heartbreaking to see unfold. Pull yourselves out of it, mates!
Combined taps and Mexican food are not American 😂😂😂😂😂. And you've been here since 2007 but don't seem to know we don't say 'mates' (mate is never plural to clarify) UK politics has not been Americanised. We invented the disruptive self-harming shizzle with Brexit you followed with Trump.

I fail to see what's so terrible about Brexit if you just look beyond the purely economical. Seems like they made a choice for individualism, instead of just being a small part of an amorphous blob, and again, I fail to see what's so wrong about that.
other than healthcare, there is quite literally 0 incentive to live in this shithole unless you're an unemployed immigrant from Afghanistan called Abdul in which case you get more money than actual british citizens and eventually get a free gaff for life
Hey, how are those wonderful Swedish companies that offer generous benefits, fair pay, a safe working environment job security, etc... going to compete with countries like China, Mexico, Bangladesh, India and later Africa that can muster an endless supply of cheap labor to produce products at a fraction of the cost of Sweden, Germany, the UK or the USA etc... In America, huge multinational corporations are allowed to move their operation wherever they want to, to exploit cheap labor, maximize profits and skirt environmental regulations and responsibility. In Germany the car industry is collapsing because China now makes decent quality cars for the Chinese market at 1/3 of the cost that Germany can. When Chinese cars were greatly inferior the demand for well engineered and quality built German, Japanese and American cars was fertile. Well now the script has flipped and Chinese quality is greatly improved along with generous incentives by the Chinese government that encourages the Chinese consumer to buy Chinese made models. Its working and the market share for German and Japanese cars are all in decline. Especially Germany because they had such a huge presence and share of the market for such a long time. They've not adapted to the new reality and are trying to reduce cost to compete. They've resort to using cheap plastic parts and reducing production times which impacts quality as cars are more hurriedly assembled and corners are cut. German brands are not elite anymore but because of brand reputation and prestige they feel they can still charge premium prices. Hence you will see a lot of overprice German cars go unsold. This will result in German factories having to reduce product which means cutting jobs, cutting operating hours, and cutting salaries. The threat is existential for them. The effects of global competition will reach markets in Sweden if they haven't already and force changes on your companies to remain competitive. That could mean cutting generous benefits and pay and jobs. This could lead to social unrest and unemployment rises. Its happening in Germany. It happened long ago in the US.
He'll never address that, I don't think most Brits will, therefore it'll never get fixed. As a Brit I'm one of those who think America should take over.
30:00 Wait, that guy is a conservative complaining about the state of Britain? Imagine being an English conservative, where the Conservative Party had the reigns of power for almost a decade and a half only to complain about the state of things and blaming Labour/Starmer.
The UK Conservative party is conservative in name only. They are far too left-leaning to ever correct the damage Labour has caused. They're just Labour Lite.
Finally, god, someone else talking about this! I'm an American living in Scotland because I'm married to a british citizen who wanted me here, and I genuinely am here to integrate. I am genuinely doing everything I can to shed my Americanism and do right by the love of my life. I am not here to spread Americanism, I am here to help support the love of my life. Scotland now is like America was in the 1980s-1990s. There's still small shops. There's still mixed zone areas. But I am seeing what happened to my country happening here. There's subdivisions - SUBDIVISIONS - being built with zero shops. There's retail parks and parking lots and billboards going up. Every town and city has like five or six auto dealers and the small shops are closing and sitting empty. Glasgow has a Times Square sized billboard dedicated to KFC, and an entire intersection where every shop is an American fast food chain. I tried posting this warning in r/Scotland and got told off for being pretentious and telling people what to do but while I get that it comes off as preachy I am genuinely begging every single UK citizen to cut off support for American franchises before it is too late because I promise you every single American corporation wants nothing more than to turn your walkable cities and your social places and your heritage sites into more parking lots and soulless HOA-ran subdivisions and 24-hour franchises that pay absolute crumbs and shred your worker rights. I know it's hard to imagine - "surely us Brits are smarter than those dumb Americans, we'll buy their products AND keep our way of life" - but I literally saw it happen to my own country. It happened so subtly and gradually that nobody noticed until our way of life and quality of life was gone. Please, I'm begging you. Buy local. Support your community. Make a fuss when the council wants to put in a new subdivision with no mixed zoning, or when Parliament tries to cut the NHS. Do not easily let go of what makes the british way of life. Currently, it's popular in the UK to be mad at migrants from the middle east, but nobody is paying attention to the real migrant threat - American Corporations. While someone from the middle east may set up a barber shop or a small restaurant, the corporations from America see the UK as a big piggy bank ripe for cracking open, and they do not give one single shit about what that will do to your entire country. They did it to America, and they're going to do it here unless you say no to their continued influence and spread.
>I am genuinely doing everything i can to shed my Americanism. You can try all you like, but you can't regrow your foreskin. Back to america, democrat.
The other issue is that Britain is now relative to other developed nations poor, outside of London the GDP per-capita of Britain is the same as Mississippi, the poorest US state
The British "way of life" is long dead (if it ever truly existed), and Scotland's only chance of not being dragged further into the gutter with England is to put the nail in the coffin by voting correctly when the chance comes up again in the next 5/10/25/50 years to sever the Treaty of Union, and to re-engage with our long standing European allies. Frankly, I think England needs that wake up call more than Scotland at this point.
The issue with these discussions is when you act like the USA as a whole is intentionally doing this. Most Americans think little of the UK. When organizations like BlackRock buy your country's assets, that isn't "America" doing it. It is one company, and they do the same to us here.
Actually, corporations and equity are important stakeholders that work closely with government (and have prompted the US to trigger coups in the past).
As an American we don’t actually care about the UK one bit, not in a bad way I think yall are cool and spent some time there but when home in the states nobody cares about the UK or any other country for that matter UK does not enter our minds nor does it enter our news unless our president is there or there’s been a big terror incident but you will not see British politics on our screens at all even if a referendum is held, most people here in Arizona couldn’t point the UK out on a map, they’d point to Japan before they point to America, sad how we’ve become but it’s true so I urge yall to be yourselves bc America only cares for itself
Americans are individuals eh, so you say the same thing when some yank goes on an anti-Anglo rant about how evil English people are for things that happened before their parents where born?
I have an interesting anecdote, my classmate who lived in the same city as me in Poland was a really slim girl, but then she moved to the UK with her family and I remember she once came back to us after two years to visit her old school for few days, it was crazy how much she gained weight in Great Britain after only two years.
As an American who has lived in both I noticed the Brits care A LOT more about us than we do about them but ig most Americans don’t care about anything outside the states
Thats probably because Brits care about foreign politics in general being that we understand basic geography. Americans seem to think they live on their own little planet instead of Earth.
@TS111WASD Britain is now an outpost for America. They dragged you into the war on terror, flooded your country with migrants thanks to the “Arab Springs” and now they cut off your energy supply from Russia and forced you into importing countless of natural gas tankers at elevated prices

First time in Europe, met a Brit in The Netherlands. We were comparing European and American cities. He asked if I visited the UK. I said No, because if I go through the trouble of going to another country. I want to be in another country. He simply agreed.
@@robinarmitage2742 Yeah, because I was going to say - I have heard Scotland is the exception to the rest of The UK. You mentioned Edinburgh is nice - how does it compare to Glasgow?
@ Much prettier. A lot of north England is very beautiful too. York is lovely, Durham is lovely, they’re medieval cities. The UK as a whole is extremely diverse and none of it much like the Netherlands. I don’t know where you’re getting your tourist info from but it doesn’t sound very well informed.
I remember visiting Britain in 2000 and I already sensed this "Americanization" that obviously started decades ago as you mentioned. The problem is this "Americanization" was already well-established throughout Europe but adapted to local languages and cultures. The core of this remained the same: Shop til you drop and never-ending consumerism The problem I see however is not music or fast food chains. It's the "vulture fund economy" the USA is imposing on the rest of the world. They want the NHS to be privatized like in the US, no more mom-and-pop stores, "Deliveroo" economy, no stable contracts, low wages, no property ownership etc. And above all a militarized police state. And the bobblehead politicians still wonder why there's rise in crime, in poverty, why people don't want to start family and have children. 🙃
i agree this has been a thing pretty much all my life, its just the libtards crying wolf about Farage cozying up to Trump rather than deal with any real fucking problems
Honestly I think Americanisation in Britain being soo 'original to its core' is due to the shared language between the two country. Of course theres culture and history but language imo is the strongest bind.
I wrote an essay about American Imperialism and Hegemony with a focus on the UK, once you know these things you cant unknow it. Its everywhere when you know what to look for
@@nev3i as an American I find it ironic how British people of all talk about this when they tried to take over the World by force… the US could take over Britain in a hour if we wanted especially after WW2 we could’ve taken over the world if he wanted but decided to help rebuild, this is the difference between the US and UK one stands for Freedom and Liberation for all, the other stands for greed and colonization
It always sort of bugs me when people say Americans have no culture because I think the opposite is true. I think that our culture has become so universally adopted that it seems like the norm.
America greatest export has been it's culture. And that has permeated literally to every corner of the globe. This is testament to the extent of soft power America has.
A horrible predatory corporate culture the world should run away from like the plague. The Elites are not happy with an impoverished American society , they want the whole world as their peasants.
If I am being honest American culture has definitely influenced all over the world especially England more than any other European country funny enough ,and this includes with music, Hollywood and other entertainment industries to tech ,social media and fast foods ,UK is truly being Americanised in every sense which although other European countries are also being Influenced by American ,they are not as influenced as England and they were able to retain some of their values and believes that are different from the US . China is probably the only country who I would consider on par with US , other countries cannot compete with the US politically and economically, The US is an empire and China is a rising Empire while Europe is not an empire at all .
I just have to say just how much I love Jimmy's videos. I think this man has woken up to how the modern world works, where power comes from and why our beloved Britain's economy is worsening. Truly, we progressives are not anti-nationalism, rather we are the real nationalists: we want to ensure our country is owned and controlled by our citizens and workers, not controlled by bureaucrats on the other side of the world in an ivory tower. I completely agree that Farage and Reform UK are simply serving American corporate interests, and spreading lies about human immigration to disguise the real takeover of Britain, on our High Streets, our supermarkets, our banks and our institutions. We need to rebrand the progressive movement to make people understand that we are true lovers of our country, and ensure that we stand up against the greed of the corporate monopolists. Thank you Jimmy for your phenomenal journalism!
I thought u were gonna be a racist for a second but thank god ur not. While immigration is affecting the country, its negative effect is often overexaggerated and I mean if this racist attitude continues by lots of British people, even working immigrants may start to leave. Then who would do the hard manual labour jobs?
Well said. You only have to look at Reform's economic plans to see how their "populism" is very surface level. All Reform offer are 55 Tufton Street approved Trussanomics: savage austerity, tax cuts for corporations, funneling ever more capital to the 1% and doubling down on the Hayekian neoliberalism that has created our massively unequal society.
2:19 two addendums the reason America was to pay towards the debt for that war is because it secured their continued existence. It was actually quite a good deal as they were not even expected to pay most of the debt. Also the British public didn't have representation in parliament either so it was an odd request. When at the same time you have Rotten Boroughs where only one person lives there, has a vote and their own MP. On the other hand Manchester which has the third largest population in the country and is the first industrialised city in the world (and at this point in time only industrialised city on earth) and it's electoral role is 3.
@jackrabbitping the trains were bad before privatisation . Unless you are going to dump a load of money into the system to rebuild from scratch, it won't make much difference what you do
@@raven-sf3di They weren't anywhere near as bad as what they are now. Up north most of our commuter trains were built in the 80s! They're still depending on trains and systems that were built pre-privatisation because back then money was invested back into improving them, whereas now all the profits just get sent to their offshore owners. The water system is worse. The population keeps going up, but we're investing no money on building new sewers or new reservoirs, because their offshore owners just want to spend as little as possible and squeeze as much profit out of them, and without any competition there's nothing to stop them. The rivers (and sea) have been getting more and more polluted over the last couple of centuries, it's disgusting how much pollution is pumped into them now. And we're even having BUY WATER FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. That's right one of the rainiest dampest countries on the planet is importing about 75% of its water. Making them public again isn't a magic bullet, but it won't be anywhere near as the shit-show that is privatisation. The private sector is entirely dependent on COMPETITION. When there's no competition - eg public services like water, sewerage, public transport, etc; then privatisation is always going to make things much worse. And even when there is competition it's still usually bad for public services, like the hive of exploitation that is the american medical industry.
@@raven-sf3di they were deliberately underfunded in order to make the service worse in order to build a case for privatization. This is a standard model which has destroyed things which should be publicly funded natural monopolies with no profit motive.

As an American who lived in The UK for a while (studying) I noticed the Brits care A LOT more about us than we do of them or anyone outside the country for that matter it’s crazy how Institutionalized we’ve become to think everything is America, I hear “special relationship” thrown around by British and I’m like man most Americans don’t even know where yall is on a map they’d point to Japan
29:35 That clip of him saying he wants an american healthcare system needs to be played on TV across the nation. Even if he tries to wessel out and say no he means French and German models. Well they spend 35% and over 60% more per patient than the NHS does. Let alone think of the other promises he's made did they go the way he claimed.
@@harambae7014an American healthcare system is insurance based, look at how many people are in medical debt simply because their insurance providers like United refuse to pay out their claims just to make more profits.
Maybe things didn’t go the way he claimed because he wasn’t in charge of policy on any level, and the tories are spineless globalists while labor are socialist globalists.
Britain abolished slavery because it wasn't economically viable anymore. Similar to why America now ship thier labour oversees. In other words it wasnt from the goodness of thier hearts
are you saying that it was more economically viable to pay 40% of our national budget at the time compensate slave owners than it was to continue it? because that seems unlikely.
genuine question from an American to the Brits: has the United Healthcare CEO being laid to waste on the street in New York affected the perception of private healthcare more than it already was? it’s not exactly a new sentiment that the British public generally doesn’t support a private NHS, but did seeing the real possible violent backlash of what happens when you ‘nickel and dime’ your population to death and hopelessness until they lash out on the perceived perpetrators affect the opinions of those who do support privatization?
Nobody supports the American healthcare system, at least not openly. People who want 'privatisation' want something like the German system where healthcare is mostly left to the private sector companies but the cost of insurence is paid by taxes. People who oppose this say it's a slippery slope to the American system.
I can’t speak for the Brits but as an Aussie, we are all talking about Luigi here and it has solidified our opinion that our medicare system cannot be privatised.
Honestly most sensible people here already laughed at the thought of privatising the nhs. Problem is, this country was dumb enough to vote for brexit, so unfortunately sensible minded people may not make up the majority over here
Sensible people have always looked upon American healthcare as a horrific capitalist nightmare n I suspect see Luigi as a somewhat heroic symptom of that nightmare
Man this content hits such a satisfying sweetspot Like actually accurate historical narratives put into simple terms that uses centuries of history to explain an observation of modern British culture Shits fire bro🔥
I hate the way our media, regardless of their political sympathies, report on US news as if it's domestic news. It's absurd. It's like reporting on French news like it's automatically relevant to us.
I dislike it to and I'm American. I think you see the effects of globalism even though they are using "America" as their battering ram, the goals and directives for your government com directly from WEF and associated one world forces. The blurred national boundaries is their goal. Consider the media destabilization as being from the same forces sending waves of foreigners to your shores. Not America per se, just the tool used on this front.
I am british, but have lived in america 11 years. It has seemed for a while the uk is about 2-4 years behind the us on the culture wars stuff. It feels like living history again when the uk eventually catches onto something the american right have been parroting for years. The obsession with wokeism is a good example. The week gb news launched i knew it was going to cause an onslaught of damage for years to come, but none of my british friends thought much of it. But look at the sway it now has.
the US also has a long tradition of culture wars -- think abolitionists vs pro-slavery people, the politics of race after the civil war, communist witch-hunts, the counter culture, evangelical politics, abortion... culture war is US culture
It is similar in the Netherlands. Despite the language difference. I was taught about Americanization in school over 10 years ago, it's crazy to think about how rampant it is now. I hear more and more anglicisms and I'm no language purist but fucking hell does it piss me off.
Well said! The whole left-right thing is a tool used to divide people. Making everyone feel like they need to "pick a side", "pick a team"; rather than tackling issues independently and fighting for what really matters. As an example (one of many) just because you're against the corporate dystopia that we're increasingly living in, doesn't mean that you need to support all the woke gender bullshit too. But the whole left-right thing makes people feel like you can't separate the two.
Brit here, in the States 30 years. This becomes more and more apparent every time I got back. Brits even say "awesome" all the time now. It's weird man.

The UK's biggest trade partner was and still is the EU, because we are geographically located in Europe. Being a member just made it cheaper and easier, to trade with our largest trade partner. The only way the US would take it's place, is if it's population grew by a hundred million, the EUs population fell by 100 million, and the UK got made part of the US as a new state.
The United Kingdom, like any other country, should prioritise establishing the closest possible trade relations with its geographical neighbours. This approach is not only cheaper but also more reliable, faster, and helps strengthen mutual relationships. At the same time, one of the most unpredictable and unreliable trading partners is the United States. Their policies often shift to suit their own interests, as demonstrated by the actions of the last two administrations-Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The US can double import tariffs, impose full bans, introduce sanctions, restrict technology exports, cut off financial flows, and much more. Such actions can be seen as unfair play, akin to a chess game where the losing side flips the board to avoid defeat. The conclusion is clear: becoming dependent on the US in any matter is fraught with serious risks, and such dependence should be avoided by all means.
It's funny that you apologize to us americans at the end of the video for being hard on us, I was with you on every point lol. I thought if anything, you were going easy on us.

England losing the American colonies has to be one of the biggest fumbles in history. The crown created one of the world's leading boogeymen over a preventable issue. There were a significant number of loyalists before, during, and after the revolution. How different things would be if King George III and Parliament treated their own people like their people.
We need a political party, the whole point of which is to de-Americanise Britain and keep it that way. I'd join it as a member, never mind voting for it.
no party will ever win a platform on "de-Americanisation", it has to be something more subtle like "reinforcing british values" - but Reform tried this and it mostly fell on flat ears. In any case, there's no hope for the political class to come up with something -if there is to be a rebirth it has to happen organically and natively from the people. Scotland's independence might ironically trigger a healthy inflection point whereby we can finally ask ourselves what being English actually means and what we want from it other than vague "environmental feminist Labour" dribble.
So after voting reform what happened? We got a party full of american glizzy guzzlers that litterally couldn't give a shit about our public healthcare system. Really we as the public just need to support the remaining good policies we have left instead of jumping on any new fad that we desperately think could help.
Oh god, here we go again. Are you old enough to remember Brexit? It was only 4 years ago. You were conned then and you're being conned again. Wake up, for the love of god!

As an American living in the UK for 11 years now this is spot on and cheeky. But you do not want more Americanisation here. I still pay for healthcare back home because I'm disabled and it's higher than my British mortgage. Do not let complete privatisation of the NHS happen. Many will suffer. Also, you do not want relaxation on food and drug policies like the US. I also see American culture shift here and it's sad because I truly do love the British culture and history.
@@LCTesla as an American it’s a one way thing, I lived in the UK while studying and I noticed yall care a lot more about us than we do, UK politics don’t show up on our news here in Arizona, the average American couldn’t point out the UK on the map and it’s sad how blind we are to the outside world when I told my mom “the UK is leaving the EU” she was like “okay who cares”
l think it's important to contrast the story you laid out against the Neoliberization of the Labour party (and the world as a whole), it is not only the deregulation of the market but there has been this sort of ideological coup that has taken over the vast majority of politics which allowed these deregulations to happen. It was austerity measures that were put up as a response to the 2008 financial crisis and completely submitting to the whims of American imperialism that drove the population in to the hands of nationalism, because the population had no where else to go to that provided them answers. It's not only Thatcher and Cameron, but also Blair (and Gordon Brown lol). I think that is the one element missing from the picture you painted, and I was interested in hearing your angle on this. Overall, a very solid essay though.
Yeah but why are the supposed Nationalists putting on Maga hats. If they were Truly British Nationalists opposed to the American imperialism in our country they'd follow the example of the Iranians and set fire to US flags.

Personally, I believe all views are equal, yet I can always called Fascist whenever I criticize things the Americans believe, or use actual facts. I understand not all Americans are like this. But frankly? I say we should take what is ours. First get the Falklands back FULLY from the Argentines, then we see if we're even the "UK" anymore. All due respect Ireland, but you left. Scotland, you keep talking about it and yet we pay more per head by FAR. Wales, try existing a year without any help from England side...I dare you.

I think the main thing here is that Capitalism, Globalisation and Consumerism is replacing local culture, and America just so happens to utterly dominate these things
You're just describing the American empire, I'm sorry, they call it "the rules based world order" the first victims of Americanism was the south, look at that culture now, no balls(dances), no aristocracy to guide the society to keep it's organic flavour, slavery aside they had their identity reconstructed by foreigners, now when you think of a southerner you think low born "white trash" not gentleman farmers. They've done the same in Australia too, an Ocker used to be the pinnacle of cultural significance, now they're called bogans and derided by educated urbanites as the scum of the earth, to the point that the party they started in the 1890s discarded them as an electorate, leaving them and their interests unrepresented. The American empire and it's consequences have been a disaster for human diversity.
And China is starting to overtake them. Look up Tencent.
True it's the biggest economy look at the success of McDonald's however China and India are rising powers, and with Trump in charge again and the likes of tariffs on the cards it will not be good for the UK.
It's in rapid decline though.

It's really weird to me that the right-wing and often nationalists are the ones most willing to embrace American ideals. A guy I used to know ran for Conservative councillor in my local area. He hated that his son used words like "garbage" because it's "so American", meanwhile he's arguing for us all to essentially become American in a much more meaningful way - not just embracing language but embracing rampant neo-liberal capitalism, flogging the NHS for private healthcare and backing the US in virtually every conflict they decide to wade into.
Absolutely mental.
I don’t care if the U.K. health service is taxpayer funded, private business or a combination. I just want it to function.
Not really.
British nationalists consider America's strength to be an extension of the British Empire. Kind of like a father who vicariously lives through his children.
In their minds, the things that they are imitating from the US are just British values that got lost, but preserved in their former colony.
@@MrDanielvass It's weird, it used to function like 10-15 years ago. If only there was some way to explain why a taxpayer funded service suddenly started to get stretched so thinly in the last decade? Maybe a large influx of people using the service who haven't contributed at all via taxes to pay for the service? That would explain the decline.

That mind-numbing comment from Thatcher about NASA, reminded me of some facts about the Mercury and Apollo missions, that for every dollar put into it there was 8 dollars in economic activity created and that the number of applicants for PHD's jumped up 66%. Especially when you look at the computing that went into those missions, it's no wonder the US became dominant in that sector. Imagine if Thatcher wasn't economically illiterate and had understood this. The money generated from those missions alone was the same as the entire UK economy at the time and think of all the innovations we could have had from more PHD students on top. Britain would be well something like the 1950s again.
And now America has fallen into the same trap.
Consistently divests from science and technology, particularly in the space sector but also in energy. The claim is that it is frivolous spending. But now the U.S government is subsidizing companies like spaceX to play around with reusable rockets, which they haven't accomplished yet. SpaceX is yet to fulfill NASA benchmarks. And yet, taxpayer revenue is being poured down their gullet. It's quote literally a cash drain for the country. Because even if SpaceX accomplishes reliable reusable flights, what the hell are they even going to do with it anyways? Whatever use cases, the government is going to agree to whatever pricing structure SpaceX sets forth because the rich help eachother out. So, those prices are going to be levied once again on consumers and taxpayers.
I never trust those studies that show taking money from someone and spending it on yourself makes the person you stole from wealthier.
However, we were openly violating the Bretton Woods accord, so we were massively profiting from printing money that wasn’t backed by gold.
Now? SpaceX is utterly embarrassing NASA with innovations and capabilities.

I'm an American who emigrated to Britain in 2007, specifically because I wanted to live in a country with a less paranoid and insular and anti-intellectual politics, with better health care and public transport, etc. To a large extent, Britain had delivered, and I don't regret the move. And some of the Americanising trends I've seen since then -- like how it's become so much easier to find combined taps and good Mexican food -- are things I'll defend to the death. But both Brexit and the Americanisation of UK politics have been heartbreaking to see unfold. Pull yourselves out of it, mates!
Combined taps and Mexican food are not American 😂😂😂😂😂. And you've been here since 2007 but don't seem to know we don't say 'mates' (mate is never plural to clarify) UK politics has not been Americanised. We invented the disruptive self-harming shizzle with Brexit you followed with Trump.
I fail to see what's so terrible about Brexit if you just look beyond the purely economical. Seems like they made a choice for individualism, instead of just being a small part of an amorphous blob, and again, I fail to see what's so wrong about that.
other than healthcare, there is quite literally 0 incentive to live in this shithole unless you're an unemployed immigrant from Afghanistan called Abdul in which case you get more money than actual british citizens and eventually get a free gaff for life

Hey, how are those wonderful Swedish companies that offer generous benefits, fair pay, a safe working environment job security, etc... going to compete with countries like China, Mexico, Bangladesh, India and later Africa that can muster an endless supply of cheap labor to produce products at a fraction of the cost of Sweden, Germany, the UK or the USA etc... In America, huge multinational corporations are allowed to move their operation wherever they want to, to exploit cheap labor, maximize profits and skirt environmental regulations and responsibility.
In Germany the car industry is collapsing because China now makes decent quality cars for the Chinese market at 1/3 of the cost that Germany can. When Chinese cars were greatly inferior the demand for well engineered and quality built German, Japanese and American cars was fertile. Well now the script has flipped and Chinese quality is greatly improved along with generous incentives by the Chinese government that encourages the Chinese consumer to buy Chinese made models. Its working and the market share for German and Japanese cars are all in decline. Especially Germany because they had such a huge presence and share of the market for such a long time. They've not adapted to the new reality and are trying to reduce cost to compete. They've resort to using cheap plastic parts and reducing production times which impacts quality as cars are more hurriedly assembled and corners are cut. German brands are not elite anymore but because of brand reputation and prestige they feel they can still charge premium prices. Hence you will see a lot of overprice German cars go unsold. This will result in German factories having to reduce product which means cutting jobs, cutting operating hours, and cutting salaries. The threat is existential for them.
The effects of global competition will reach markets in Sweden if they haven't already and force changes on your companies to remain competitive. That could mean cutting generous benefits and pay and jobs. This could lead to social unrest and unemployment rises. Its happening in Germany. It happened long ago in the US.
I'm sorry to hear that. Globalisation fucking sucks.

Finally, god, someone else talking about this! I'm an American living in Scotland because I'm married to a british citizen who wanted me here, and I genuinely am here to integrate. I am genuinely doing everything I can to shed my Americanism and do right by the love of my life. I am not here to spread Americanism, I am here to help support the love of my life.
Scotland now is like America was in the 1980s-1990s. There's still small shops. There's still mixed zone areas. But I am seeing what happened to my country happening here. There's subdivisions - SUBDIVISIONS - being built with zero shops. There's retail parks and parking lots and billboards going up. Every town and city has like five or six auto dealers and the small shops are closing and sitting empty. Glasgow has a Times Square sized billboard dedicated to KFC, and an entire intersection where every shop is an American fast food chain.
I tried posting this warning in r/Scotland and got told off for being pretentious and telling people what to do but while I get that it comes off as preachy I am genuinely begging every single UK citizen to cut off support for American franchises before it is too late because I promise you every single American corporation wants nothing more than to turn your walkable cities and your social places and your heritage sites into more parking lots and soulless HOA-ran subdivisions and 24-hour franchises that pay absolute crumbs and shred your worker rights.
I know it's hard to imagine - "surely us Brits are smarter than those dumb Americans, we'll buy their products AND keep our way of life" - but I literally saw it happen to my own country. It happened so subtly and gradually that nobody noticed until our way of life and quality of life was gone. Please, I'm begging you. Buy local. Support your community. Make a fuss when the council wants to put in a new subdivision with no mixed zoning, or when Parliament tries to cut the NHS. Do not easily let go of what makes the british way of life.
Currently, it's popular in the UK to be mad at migrants from the middle east, but nobody is paying attention to the real migrant threat - American Corporations. While someone from the middle east may set up a barber shop or a small restaurant, the corporations from America see the UK as a big piggy bank ripe for cracking open, and they do not give one single shit about what that will do to your entire country. They did it to America, and they're going to do it here unless you say no to their continued influence and spread.

You are fear mongering way too much. Seriously, calm down. RUclips is American, and you’re using it. So what’s the problem?
The British "way of life" is long dead (if it ever truly existed), and Scotland's only chance of not being dragged further into the gutter with England is to put the nail in the coffin by voting correctly when the chance comes up again in the next 5/10/25/50 years to sever the Treaty of Union, and to re-engage with our long standing European allies.
Frankly, I think England needs that wake up call more than Scotland at this point.
The issue with these discussions is when you act like the USA as a whole is intentionally doing this. Most Americans think little of the UK. When organizations like BlackRock buy your country's assets, that isn't "America" doing it. It is one company, and they do the same to us here.

I remember visiting Britain in 2000 and I already sensed this "Americanization" that obviously started decades ago as you mentioned. The problem is this "Americanization" was already well-established throughout Europe but adapted to local languages and cultures. The core of this remained the same: Shop til you drop and never-ending consumerism
The problem I see however is not music or fast food chains. It's the "vulture fund economy" the USA is imposing on the rest of the world. They want the NHS to be privatized like in the US, no more mom-and-pop stores, "Deliveroo" economy, no stable contracts, low wages, no property ownership etc. And above all a militarized police state.
And the bobblehead politicians still wonder why there's rise in crime, in poverty, why people don't want to start family and have children. 🙃
i agree this has been a thing pretty much all my life, its just the libtards crying wolf about Farage cozying up to Trump rather than deal with any real fucking problems
Honestly I think Americanisation in Britain being soo 'original to its core' is due to the shared language between the two country. Of course theres culture and history but language imo is the strongest bind.
It's globalism you are referring to, not Americanism. No private ownership is not an American value.

It always sort of bugs me when people say Americans have no culture because I think the opposite is true. I think that our culture has become so universally adopted that it seems like the norm.
America greatest export has been it's culture. And that has permeated literally to every corner of the globe.
This is testament to the extent of soft power America has.
A horrible predatory corporate culture the world should run away from like the plague. The Elites are not happy with an impoverished American society , they want the whole world as their peasants.
If I am being honest American culture has definitely influenced all over the world especially England more than any other European country funny enough ,and this includes with music, Hollywood and other entertainment industries to tech ,social media and fast foods ,UK is truly being Americanised in every sense which although other European countries are also being Influenced by American ,they are not as influenced as England and they were able to retain some of their values and believes that are different from the US . China is probably the only country who I would consider on par with US , other countries cannot compete with the US politically and economically, The US is an empire and China is a rising Empire while Europe is not an empire at all .

I completely agree that Farage and Reform UK are simply serving American corporate interests, and spreading lies about human immigration to disguise the real takeover of Britain, on our High Streets, our supermarkets, our banks and our institutions.
We need to rebrand the progressive movement to make people understand that we are true lovers of our country, and ensure that we stand up against the greed of the corporate monopolists. Thank you Jimmy for your phenomenal journalism!

Ah yes, privatisation of the NHS because the transport and water systems have worked sow drowningly well
Heard your trains are getting de-privatized.
@jackrabbitping the trains were bad before privatisation . Unless you are going to dump a load of money into the system to rebuild from scratch, it won't make much difference what you do
@@raven-sf3di They weren't anywhere near as bad as what they are now.
Up north most of our commuter trains were built in the 80s! They're still depending on trains and systems that were built pre-privatisation because back then money was invested back into improving them, whereas now all the profits just get sent to their offshore owners.
The water system is worse. The population keeps going up, but we're investing no money on building new sewers or new reservoirs, because their offshore owners just want to spend as little as possible and squeeze as much profit out of them, and without any competition there's nothing to stop them. The rivers (and sea) have been getting more and more polluted over the last couple of centuries, it's disgusting how much pollution is pumped into them now. And we're even having BUY WATER FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. That's right one of the rainiest dampest countries on the planet is importing about 75% of its water.
Making them public again isn't a magic bullet, but it won't be anywhere near as the shit-show that is privatisation.
The private sector is entirely dependent on COMPETITION. When there's no competition - eg public services like water, sewerage, public transport, etc; then privatisation is always going to make things much worse. And even when there is competition it's still usually bad for public services, like the hive of exploitation that is the american medical industry.
Don't forget the trains ....

genuine question from an American to the Brits: has the United Healthcare CEO being laid to waste on the street in New York affected the perception of private healthcare more than it already was? it’s not exactly a new sentiment that the British public generally doesn’t support a private NHS, but did seeing the real possible violent backlash of what happens when you ‘nickel and dime’ your population to death and hopelessness until they lash out on the perceived perpetrators affect the opinions of those who do support privatization?
tag me in the response
Nobody supports the American healthcare system, at least not openly. People who want 'privatisation' want something like the German system where healthcare is mostly left to the private sector companies but the cost of insurence is paid by taxes. People who oppose this say it's a slippery slope to the American system.
I can’t speak for the Brits but as an Aussie, we are all talking about Luigi here and it has solidified our opinion that our medicare system cannot be privatised.
Honestly most sensible people here already laughed at the thought of privatising the nhs. Problem is, this country was dumb enough to vote for brexit, so unfortunately sensible minded people may not make up the majority over here
Sensible people have always looked upon American healthcare as a horrific capitalist nightmare n I suspect see Luigi as a somewhat heroic symptom of that nightmare

One of the few accounts I get genuinely excited for when there’s a new video
The UK's biggest trade partner was and still is the EU, because we are geographically located in Europe. Being a member just made it cheaper and easier, to trade with our largest trade partner. The only way the US would take it's place, is if it's population grew by a hundred million, the EUs population fell by 100 million, and the UK got made part of the US as a new state.
and floated off across the pond
The United Kingdom, like any other country, should prioritise establishing the closest possible trade relations with its geographical neighbours. This approach is not only cheaper but also more reliable, faster, and helps strengthen mutual relationships. At the same time, one of the most unpredictable and unreliable trading partners is the United States. Their policies often shift to suit their own interests, as demonstrated by the actions of the last two administrations-Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
The US can double import tariffs, impose full bans, introduce sanctions, restrict technology exports, cut off financial flows, and much more. Such actions can be seen as unfair play, akin to a chess game where the losing side flips the board to avoid defeat.
The conclusion is clear: becoming dependent on the US in any matter is fraught with serious risks, and such dependence should be avoided by all means.

It’s about time we had this discussion not just in the UK but the anglophone world (and whole world) in general
31:59 as an American, let me reassure you that you didn’t piss a lot of us off ❤
Jimmy is the best
so real
All hail the mighty Jimbo
Some would call him a giant
@NotSmallA Indeed they would.
Innit
10:11winston churchill only became prime minister in 1940 not 1939 before him was neville chamberlain that resigned because he couldn't rule the country in war
@Parziti14 Chamberlain resigned because Britiain had lost the Norway campaign the big irony being Churchill was in charge of the Norway campaign.
@Alex-cw3rz yea that is the reason i just forgot what was the real reason
England losing the American colonies has to be one of the biggest fumbles in history. The crown created one of the world's leading boogeymen over a preventable issue. There were a significant number of loyalists before, during, and after the revolution. How different things would be if King George III and Parliament treated their own people like their people.
two videos in two days? hell yeahh
Happy new video guys
We need a political party, the whole point of which is to de-Americanise Britain and keep it that way. I'd join it as a member, never mind voting for it.
Ask the Taliban.
First de-pakistanise de-arabise and de-africanize your country
liberalism, and multiculturalism naturally facilitates american conditions lol, so guud luck mate
no party will ever win a platform on "de-Americanisation", it has to be something more subtle like "reinforcing british values" - but Reform tried this and it mostly fell on flat ears. In any case, there's no hope for the political class to come up with something -if there is to be a rebirth it has to happen organically and natively from the people. Scotland's independence might ironically trigger a healthy inflection point whereby we can finally ask ourselves what being English actually means and what we want from it other than vague "environmental feminist Labour" dribble.
@@Tar.o Hence why we shouldn't support massive cultural transformation.
Spot on! Loved this video, literally been saying this to my friends the other day 💔
Jimmy clearly not taking Christmas off this year
if we had a competent government this wouldn't have happened
Yes, flooding the country with migrants for cheap labour has diluted the culture ad infinitum
So after voting reform what happened? We got a party full of american glizzy guzzlers that litterally couldn't give a shit about our public healthcare system.
Really we as the public just need to support the remaining good policies we have left instead of jumping on any new fad that we desperately think could help.
Oh god, here we go again. Are you old enough to remember Brexit? It was only 4 years ago. You were conned then and you're being conned again. Wake up, for the love of god! Do you want to be owned by corporations? ...Jesus, if you just want to be racist, be racist., but don't pretend racism is going to fix anything. It isn't. Farrage costs you way more than any immigrant has ever cost. More than a thousand immigrants. He's a con man. We're British, we're not this stupid!
Next you should make a video titled "The Brazillianisation of Portugal".
I love this vid 👌🏼 very well produced ❤
Your usual , informative ,entertaining and wonderful form of presentation. Thank you for a brilliant insight on the Anglo American
relationship . Recently I heard the difference between the American and European definitions of Freedom. For Americans , Freedom means the ability to do whatever they want. For Europeans Freedom means, Free from Persecution, Free from Poverty and so on. That perspective alone , can show how a Political direction is taken. Please, please, please do a video on Farage . It will be a belter.
haven't watched yet but i hope you don't forget about the changes in accent of young brits due to cartoons
As an American living in the UK for 11 years now this is spot on and cheeky. But you do not want more Americanisation here. I still pay for healthcare back home because I'm disabled and it's higher than my British mortgage. Do not let complete privatisation of the NHS happen. Many will suffer. Also, you do not want relaxation on food and drug policies like the US. I also see American culture shift here and it's sad because I truly do love the British culture and history.
Wish I could support financially. Keep up the blinding docs! Your a legend brother.
Electric guitars and basses! :) Thank you Jimmy again for a brilliant programme!
Jimmy, would you agree with this statement? ' The UK is the U.S. in Europe' :)
God how thatcher haunts my dreams
God how middle class you are
special relationship makes me think of special military operation
Same level of idiocy
To me, it reminds me of "sexual relationship" because they have the word "relationship" in common.
So funny and so relevant! Right?
@n_asmo more like America's concubine.
@@LCTesla as an American it’s a one way thing, I lived in the UK while studying and I noticed yall care a lot more about us than we do, UK politics don’t show up on our news here in Arizona, the average American couldn’t point out the UK on the map and it’s sad how blind we are to the outside world when I told my mom “the UK is leaving the EU” she was like “okay who cares”
To the Iraquis it is
Thank you . We need more young people like you
Please comment on Musk influencing the UK.
l think it's important to contrast the story you laid out against the Neoliberization of the Labour party (and the world as a whole), it is not only the deregulation of the market but there has been this sort of ideological coup that has taken over the vast majority of politics which allowed these deregulations to happen. It was austerity measures that were put up as a response to the 2008 financial crisis and completely submitting to the whims of American imperialism that drove the population in to the hands of nationalism, because the population had no where else to go to that provided them answers. It's not only Thatcher and Cameron, but also Blair (and Gordon Brown lol). I think that is the one element missing from the picture you painted, and I was interested in hearing your angle on this. Overall, a very solid essay though.
Yeah but why are the supposed Nationalists putting on Maga hats. If they were Truly British Nationalists opposed to the American imperialism in our country they'd follow the example of the Iranians and set fire to US flags.
New sub and happy new years
