Ed Miliband ate a sandwich, Sunak disrespected every war hero.
You missed the really important detail. It was a bacon sandwich. That, of course, makes all the difference. If it had been cheese, or jam, it would have been fine. Maybe. Er.
@@annphillips1086Corbyn wore an anorak to the Cenotaph and the right-wing msm lost their minds.
Sunak makes a belaboured point of insisting he attended everything British only and just missed the international part of the remembrance. It is the international part that is perhaps the most important and impactful part of the memorial.
Indeed, given other than Battle of Britain and cracking Enigma, the Russians and Americans combined really won WWII despite sacrifice of UK lives.
First because it shows we can have unity despite extreme differences and if that doesn't matter to these guys, standing as one with world leaders as the pm of the UK is an important national and pm position symbolism. "The UK is one of the world leaders". Skipping that is a massive insult to the international prestige of the UK.
So being Eurosceptic includes dumping on and dishonouring the memories of anyone involved DDay who wasn't British...okay, glad that's cleared up!
Isolating us from other nations serves no one in our country.sunak is increasingly isolating himself.
As an American, I agree.
I can remember when the Tory press eviscerated Michael Foot for years for wearing the wrong kind of jacket at a Remembrance Day wreath laying ceremony
And that jacket was an expensive Jaeger one.
Caller “Now leave it alone!”
James “No!”
Best thing I’ve heard in years 👏👏👏
Well done James!
Rishi is a liar, he only cares about how to line his pockets and has disrespected the country time and time again, and now he’s gone too far!
"Well that's your call"
"Thanks - and that was yours"
🤣😂🤣😂✌
That dude was either drowning in the Coolaid or he was a campaign staffer doing damage control.
He has a Masters degree in telling Lies, just like his friends at iz ra ill
it might be just incompetence, someone made a schedule and nobody else bothered to change it. I saw some of these many times with a lot of execs.
@@roc7880 Maybe that's fine for the private sector or some local event, but if staff are so incompetent as to not recognize that the PM should stay for all of the D-Day commemorations then those people shouldn't be involved running the government. Regardless, Rishi didn't say "no, we're staying" so it's still on him. And his excuse made it sound like he didn't even want to stay for the event with the other leaders.
As a remainer and a veteran and somebody who still works in defence, I still feel it is important to try and hang on to the distinction that the UK (regretfully) voted to leave the EU trading bloc and not Europe as a continent. But to see this clown bail on a D Day memorial, at a time when there is a Hitleresque war in Europe, and when even the German chancellor and the very President of the country at war, were present, is just catastrophically humiliating. The lebel of shame I feel can't really be expressed in words. I didn't really think we could sink much lower and yet here we are. I find myself feeling a genuinely vitriolic hatred to this government now. Furthermore how can they bang on about young people having a sense of duty when they clearly cannot exercise that same sense themselves.
This lot.. And Farage... have done more to diminish this country in the eyes of the world and everyone with values and a conscience than any in our entire history...
Absolutely agree, they’re aborting mission because they know they have out stayed their welcome!
Wel said.
Well it's impossible for Britain (or whatever political configuration the UK is or will be) to leave Europe, you will always effect and be effected by your neighbouring countries, Europe will be there waiting for you when you finally emerge from this period of crypto-fascism.
Hear! Hear!
It just shows that since he married a hugely wealthy wife he has NO idea about how normal people think. I don’t think he disregards it I think it just never occurs to him.
Either way Snake is not fit for purpose as PM😮
Mr.Sunak .Please resign .You have sacrificed the veterans ,king and country for a political broadcast .You are a man without honour .On monday hand in your resignation .
We're only 2 weeks in. 4 to go. How much worse can this conservative campaign get?
Oh, quite a bit yet I think.
Sunak has absolutely no human empathy, he probably truly doesn't understand why anyone is upset by his behaviour.
The lying will get way worse now.
Count Binface is standing in Sunaks' s constituency, imagine if he got less votes!
Whatever the damage the real question is how the f*ck do we dig ourselves out of this hole
@@dh1380 I don't have high hopes. This country is dead. London moves money around, while the rest of the country decays
just heard his 'Apology'...jesus christ...he repeated the same thing five times like a frigging robot. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY????
He's trying to avoid getting caught in a foolish-sounding sound bite. He's aware most people will only hear a clip, not the whole thing
@@EdwardLindon ...and how did that work out for him.....?!
I guess nothing is really "wrong" he's just one of those politicians who look for greener pastures and don't care if it comes at the expense of the party he represent. He have his eyes set on moving to the US. and leave politics behind, so why would he even try to be reelected? Heck i would say that many of his colleagues are also ready to just accept their resettlement grants and head over to more lucrative pastures so they are more or less content losing their seats.
To the veteran who asked "But what can you do?" The answer is easy DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE!!!
Totally enjoyable discourse today .The PM must go .
At long last ! A British Prime Minister apologises sincerely for having left Europe ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@MSDAKM-cs5nf two month old account set up to troll and spout anti biden nonsense, how sad is your life?
Prime minister
I cant
Hmm, kind of you to say "sincerely" 😐
If we had a proper press in this country, that would be the headline all over the news stands!
Sunak like blair wasn’t interested in old battles and old soldiers . Sunak with his 600 million has no interest other than himself .
Why anyone would think Rishi Sunak is qualified to lead anything much less The UK is beyond comprehension. 🇬🇧
Narcissists don’t understand tone, the super rich don’t understand tone.
The super rich don't understand anything, except how to make money.
My goodness, if those poor ancient ex servicemen can travel and last for the duration how dare the PM do a runner.
Just listening to Sunak, no emotion in his voice at all.🤔🇨🇦
I didn't think I'd see a worse campaigner than Theresa May, but Sunak is on another level.
Supporting Veterans? YOU’VE GOT A NERVE! THAT'S WHY MOST ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS WITH PTSD!
Sunak doesn't get history. He doesn't get us.
so....according to Mr Mercer...its all our fault and WE are a disgrace...How DARE we criticise the Prime Minister for being a scumbag. How dare we, eh?
Having Mercer as your defender is the last straw .What a buffoon he is!
I'm Canadian and I'm shocked.
Why are you shocked that your Canadian 😅
Ha ha,I take your point.
@@jaspaltoor2061He thought he was an American! :)
@@loneprimate 🤣🤣
Being a veteran of nearly 11 years Operational Service and 22 years, I am glad this happened, as it shows the absolute contempt the Tories have ALWAYS had for the Armed Forces. After every modern engagement/war the Tories have always helmed cuts for the Forces, not to mention that the 1922 committee were willing to sell the country out to Germany during WW2. Their track record speaks for itself, that is true as those veterans living homeless has risen by 14% (as per the Guardian) in the last year. The Tories make the problem and or make it worse then sell us snake oil for fix it, but this, as a Fourth Generation Armed Forces and knowing what the Greatest Generation went through as well as feeling it through my own losses makes my frickin blood boil, but what to expect from someone who sees me as a figure, beneath contempt, has no real world experience and especially no street smarts (as one of your callers ponted out), as I look at my Grandfather's picture, knowing some of the horrors he carried with him through out his life and he never spoke of, I only know because of the ships logs he served on, sorry, I need a car park with the PM in it.
The only way you can make sense of this D Day decision is if Sunak was not really on board with the National Service idea thinking that people are are not interested in patriotism, they are instead like him only interested in money. An interview talking about money would therefore be seen as ‘logically’ more important.
Sunak - D Day Deserter!
The last nail in his coffin
I would like to know what ITV thinks about this considering he left early to give an interview to them which is not being broadcast for six days
little Rishi "damp squib" Sunak is just working out his month's notice, why would he go on a team building trip?
Theory: Sunak wants to lose. However he can’t be clearly seen to want to lose. So he has to make enough *blunders to ensure he remains on track to lose.
i think tories have been in power for so long that they believe they're entitled to the country, Media gives them far too much credit, Sunak lies, Starmer doesn't respond to it so they focus on Starmer not denying it and not that Sunaks full of the stuff floating in our rivers.
Tory plan for 2024...destroy all credibility...ensure Reform becomes the opposition party...all the vile right-wingers in the Tory party join Reform where they can finally shrug off their restrictions and be surrounded by the like-minded.
Sunak/conservatives want to lose cos they’ve trashed our economy so so much he can’t think of any way forward This is history repeating itself in British politics. When John Major had was PM after disastrous reign of Thatcher. I wish all the luck to the new party in July cos they’re gonna need it. Johnson Truss Sunak have brought UK to its knees 🤦♀️
Being anti-foreign is an important component of conservative optics.
A couple of years ago Trump didn't go to the cemetery, because it was raining and he was afraid it would mess up his carefully coifed hairdo.
Did Sunak trump that?
If you are setting the bar at Trump then you are already in trouble.
@@AkivaMerkavah I'm certainly not setting the bar that low. Just wondering.
@@AkivaMerkavah😂😂😂
Not only did Trump not go he had the nerve to call those fallen soldiers suckers and losers...
Rishi would never leave an event because of rain, he loves rain, happy to stand in it without an umbrella even
I'm sure a lot of those lads who landed on the beaches, would have liked to have got off a bit early back then .
Sunak: Let’s bring back National Service! Kids don’t care about the nation and its military history!
Also Sunak:
The ITV interview doesnt go out for another week!!😮 Not live, not even imminent. Where was the urgency?
Let's hope it's issued/broadcast with a Disclaimer.
On a reassuring note, Sunak was not elected prime minister by the British public... and he never will be!
As an American, a comparison between octogenarian Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak seems fair. Joe Biden (who's also in the middle of an election campaign) stayed for the whole event. Why couldn't Rishi?
His (Sunak) main political rival (Starmer) in this UK election managed to stay the whole time. Ridiculous excuses... as ever.
Thank you James 😊
Sunak admitted the Itinerary was made weeks ago so a) it said leave early for the ITV interview or b) the interview was added later. In both cases Sunak would have known and HE and his advisors should have postponed the ( not live) interview.He has NO excuse for leaving early.
01:38:33
Gawd! Lie, Rinse, Repeat. Lie, Rinse, Repeat. Lie, Rinse, Repeat.
He IS a little kid!
With jam all over his clothes, jam all up his arm, jam all over his face and his fist stick in a half-empty jar of jam, claiming he has not been eating the jam!
{:o:O:}
I agree, little James is so unprofessional. Only simpletons listen to his leftist opinions! 😂
So it was ok for sunak to leave early sunak has embarrassed the country to the whole world and if you think that is ok you're no better than him
Sunak has got to go now
D esi
R ishi
If truth is stranger than fiction, why would you need to make it up?
On another note, it is also showing contempt for all the other leaders in attendance. One minute he is there then he has gone. Whether he is a supporter of Joe Biden or not (highly unlikely) it is not only how the British public view it. What on earth will the President of the United States think about Sunak and those giving him advice, as it does matter if the Americans think that Sunak and the rest of those involved have really poor judgement.
Snake prioritised His election itinerary over June the 6th. Words from his own mouth...😮
Thank you to Dorothy and all the other guests who brought up what a sham it is that Sunak brought up "not making it political". I was screaming as I walked down the road that he was literally making political BY going home early.
When you apologize, its all ok! What a terrible thinking and thats the same attitude that led you guys in the current situation in the first place!
Just loved when he slipped in the E.Waugh quote: "Up to a point, Lord Copper"
15:10 mean while the modern torys say "let the bodies pile high"
I 100% agree with the caller that said Sunak has no visceral link back to WW2 … he has no family stories of deprivation, rationing and loss.i’m 66, grew up with stories about WW1 and WW2 .. know/knew people who suffered and fought. Sunak simply doesn’t …
Just wondering...people tend to forget the soldiers from Britain's "empire" that also fought in WW2...doesn't Sunak have family who did so too?
Sunak's family probably plotted with the Japanese to take over India.
His desperation is extremely pathetic and equally worrying.
James, your impression of Boris made me spit my tea. 😂
I am afraid we're in the awkward weekend visit phase of the post-marital agreement. Notwithstanding the fact that we were entirely responsible for the divorce in the first place. And secretly want to get back together.
I am a British retiree living in South East Asia. A little back ground, my dad and his brother , were in the paratroopers that landed behind enemy lines, on D-Day, my uncle was shot 3 times in the air and my dad was shot once in his leg , they both landed and their unit of brave soldiers put them on their shoulders to the front line and saved their lives. … My anger is , here in Asia we have memorial cemeteries who hold British solders who faught against the Japanese, and every year especially D-Day, 1000s of expats and vets , gather to pray and show our respects, we have an English news paper and as we are 6 hours ahead of time , once this news broke of this fake PM , the headlines is terrible how this guy just walked away from his duties to the hero’s who saved his country’ India, his freedoms, and gave his family the freedom to come to the uk. This is not just a Uk issue, it’s world wide issue with vets who live else where outraged with this little guy who only cares about money and his fake love of our country and history of our parents sacrifice they made
He doesn't live in our society, out of touch ,detached and elitist, send them packing.
Probably has enough 🤑 to build another Taj Mahal just for himself....
Sunak knows the jig is up. His wife probably has the moving team already scheduled. He's coming to California to become a tech-bro!
Definition of Arrogance - Where belief exceeds ability. Rishi Sunak just cannot do politics he is hopeless at it as are most of those in the cabinet they seem unable to grasp reality which is somewhat disturbing.
Harry has spent more time with the vets
The Tories have never cared about anyone but themselves, especially when in government. Is this really all that surprising?
Alex from Tooting, whether or not you are convinced of your theory, that is such an interesting and thoughtful take on Sunak trying to distance himself from EU leaders to appeal to Brexiteers. That took me aback.
Rishi thinking "what could I do that will get me out of having to continue flogging this dead horse of an election campaign ? Hmm...I've got an idea"
D-day is so much more than just about one nation. RS departure is example of the nationalist exceptional-ism, isolationism and selfishness of the Brexit mentality.
"I don't think it's right to politicise these things" "labour hasn't matched our commitment to 2.5%", he doesn't hear the words he speaks, he certainly doesn't mean them. Cringe hearing that absolute cringe.
You are such a great professional!!! Luv u
Sunak's Sunackered himself...
Will Richmond de-select Sunak?
The voters can.
I think sunak just thought, oh well it's a bore, don't worry he's California dreaming .
You guys are so lucky to be able to limit your campaigns to 8 weeks.
Yeah, Trump in the U.S. has been campaigning and begging for MONEY since 2015..😂
It's six weeks including the closure of Parliament and Royal protocol. We've had two weeks and it seems an eternity as the same stale arguments get aired repeatedly. Only the journalists love the circus that comes around every 4 or 5 years. British politicians are also extraordinarily badly dressed with no sense of what is casual dress or with clashing colours on tv.
@@peacheswilliams4539 Those are 2 different things. He's been campaigning since 2015, but begging for money since his daddy started giving him allowance! :D :D
@@anthonyrybicki1000 I will still trade in a heartbeat. Lean on your MPs, don't let it get as ridiculous as it is in the US.
I've got so much hopium coursing through my veins. I'm shifting myself in anticipation of the inevitable come down!
Sishi Roons has messed up big time
James!! Has absolutely missed something huge! So you're telling me regardless of the election campaign! When the itinerary was set weeks him and his advisors didn't think staying for the whole day was important! It's the 80th anniversary! He never intended to stay because him and the rest of the Conservatives just don't care!!
To me, the theme of the Election is by default all about British Values. I think everyone realises there is no miracle cure for the UK economy, by Labour , Tory whoever. So its British Values, which include an emotional connection to NHS, D-Day, monarchy etc😊
Richi doesnt care.
Haven't heard anymore about Sunaks India Trade Deal wonder how thats going...
So, so far Sunak has lied & been disrespectful - keep it up! 😅
It shouldn't take an adviser to know what the right thing to do is! He's desperate, that's why he left & Starmer stayed 😊
Sunak should stop punching himself in the face.
I used to do that to my Roland Rat teddy.
Really believe that apology yea right!
Sunak can only truly honour the veterans: the British and allied forces, and importantly the memory of those that lost their lives fighting fascism in Europe - by now stepping down.
He’s digging a hole that he’s never, ever getting out of, even with his pithy apologies. Just go now. You’re a national disgrace.
Henry Riley is lovely.
The Sunak interview.. who else was just dying for the 'milkshake moment'?
If the current Tories had been running the show back in 1940, we'd have been speaking German for the last 80 years.
The explanation is very easy: He is a businessman. He sees everyting in terms of cost and profit. He got bored sitting there at the ceremony. He wanted to use his time better. He wanted to do planning and trading instead. Simple!
I'd agree with you, "100 year old fogies" will vote Tory anyway, I need to get back to the studio to get my story about the £2000 lie straight.
I think we need to be real and you can’t blame him, he’s not English, if he’s not English how’s going to feel patriotic for the D day.
He should have just shut up, he did nothing but dig down and parroted a prepared preach over and over. The Tories are a disgrace, I am outraged and I am not even British.
Any non native in Europe should not be allowed to hold any higher offices, except one of the parents is native European, not both parents Indian african Pakistan, except America where anyone can become president.
This reminds me of the time that Gordon Brown increased the pension by less than £1-00 - yes, it was correct by the formula but, did no-one say - you're mad?
Lack of respect and lack of judgement. Not fit to be in government let alone PM
😂😅😂🤣 James O'Brien hits the nail on the head as usual! The government also needs to care about the people that don't vote for them.
It was not "their" war, James. There is also a general disdain for violence, killing and war amongst younger generations that makes celebrating or commemorating such events distasteful to them. The younger generations recognise respect, but the trend is towards no longer making a fuss that seems to them to be aggrandizing war. Times are changing.
Celebrating is distasteful; the veterans there are not celebrating, because they know better than anyone that war is not glorious, it is ghastly. Commemorating on the other hand is vital, because make no mistake: it can happen again, and will if we ignore history. That is why the German chancellor was part of the event this time, rightly in my view. In war there are no winners, only those who lose the least. Germany's story tells us that not only can any country start a war, but the same country can be in the forefront of rebuilding and consolidating peace. Peace will not be achieved by pretending war didn't/doesn't happen.
Sunak has done enough to be the Irish Taoiseach. We love you Sunak. 😂
How do you leave a memorial service?
Indifference. Callous self centered indifference.
1:35 i was working in the best interests of the British public and then smile slyly
Lying headline! It was David Cameron that left Europe not Sunak!
Sunak can't answer a question at all. Easy to assume the answer was bad when you are scared to give it.
I'm not sure why everybody's pretending not to see that his party colleagues intentionally set him up to fail because in truth no englishman wants to see a foreigner get ahead in politics. He clearly received deceitful advice from David Cameron.
How can Sunak say don't bring politics into D-Day, then return to the UK early to talk about politics to a TV channel reporter.
The Prime Minister is the only one who can set the Election date.
D-Day events were already arranged in his diary.
He must have also been aware that the Election Day will be on the same day as the USA's Independence Day.
How could a UK Prime Minister be so oblivious to the consequences of disappearing from these very important events?
Allegedly, the TV programme was going to be pre-recorded during the campaign so it could have been postponed. Another MP could have replaced him in the TV interview and offered apologies for his absence. His party, his constituents and his supporters would have understood that D-Day was a priority over pre-recording an interview.
Political parties think they can represent any location in the UK, move into any department in the Government or become Prime Minister without training or qualifications to do those jobs.
The Peter Principle is about employees being promoted in business to their level of incompetence and it seems also in governments.
In my opinion every time a PM resigns or is pushed to leave by his own party, there should be a General Election and in all Referendums there should be a 75% majority A General Election should have been called when Boris Johnson left the office of Prime Minister.
No idea should be implemented before studying cause and effect.
Politicians should not mislead the population regarding any policy they intend to implement after they are elected.....in campaigns, in government or in opposition. There are exceptional circumstances when the truth cannot be told at certain times but when a population of a country completely lose their trust in the people who represent them, other countries will not trust the UK
Sorry...surely Anakin Skywalker was the only (new) hope?
Why is Sunak's statement a loop?
I'll say this Mathew in Nottingham, 'When I wear a poppy I DON'T wear it for YOU...'
He probably served in the catering corps.
