Behind the Scenes at Tory Conference: Fear and Loathing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2022
- The Tories under Liz Truss face catastrophe - but sadly, so does the country. I've gone straight to Conservative conference to ask delegates exactly how it's all going. Brace yourselves!
Truss's attempt to slash taxes for the rich caused the markets to collapse, and despite a humiliating u-turn on the 45p rate, the government is still set to cut taxes for big business while hacking away benefits for the struggling. It hasn't gone well - the Tories' polling has collapsed, and they're set, as things stand, for a devastating election defeat. What does the grassroots think about all of this: well, wow, is all I can say...

Bet they were happy to see you there Owen.😂
Great job Owen and production team. This is excellent work. I’ve never seen a better delve into the sickness of the Tory mind than this video right here. 👏👏👏
please name and shame that utter pr!ck who stormed off, this is your typical Tory, some are just better at hiding it.
Topnotch. Thanks, Owen!
Well done. No surprises there 😃
“People’s mortgages will go up” - “I don’t have a mortgage...” That right there is a snapshot of Tory mindset right there. That and just general weirdness...
Conservatism is just people trying to justify their selfishness, isn't it?
He was so weird
Pure nastiness period ... Enough is enough TORIES BEGONE..
A real life Im Alright Jack
The "Unfortunately yes" answer with a little why-the-hell-should-I-care sort of smile isn't the most humane thing I've ever seen or heard either. I'm sure we have quite a few of those on the continent too, but I'm pretty sure too they wouldn't be as vocal and openly cynical as this lot... Blows my mind, let me tell you.
The utter contempt these people have for lesser well off people is astounding.
This should be broadcast on national TV.
National tv is controlled by the tories so they probably won't
I'm not astounded, it's thoroughly predictable. 'I don't have a mortgage' guy summed it all up.
I can't even find the energy to laugh at it anymore. All I can say is "This is a disgrace"
ha ha ha a Labour's middle class MPs are any better? Read Paul Emburys book, Their ALL as bad as each other they haven't done real jobs.
And you think labour are any different 🤣. The labour leadership are all globalists who live in mansions in north London. They will tell you what you want to hear to get in power then act totally different when in power
What a set of utterly depraved people... possibly the largest concentration of sociopaths in the country.
I agree - it’s like a conference for personality disorders. They are all terrifyingly, chillingly inhuman and without empathy.
No, I think you'll find that's the prison population.
Possibly a bit unfair on some who seemed a little more grounded (particularly where benefits was concerned) but that odious toad with the white hair was the worst, completely banged to rights on jobs and pay so he got angry and took his ball home because he couldn’t successfully defend the rationale of “just get a better paid job”
@@ftrrd5559 a lot of these MPs though be in prison for corruption
@@ftrrd5559 And that lot should be added to it.
Anyone else struggle to watch these because of just how painful listening to Tory party members is? They’re utterly delusional
I've had an easier time interviewing true believing Scientologists.
100%
It’s painful
@@tjenadonn6158 They wouldn't be interviewed by you, the details of scitentology are known only because they've been leaked... and "sources" like South Park.
Try Flat Earthers, they're ready to speak to literally anyone.
Yep, I found it utterly infuriating but it makes me happy that others did too, it shows there are real people outside the bubble of Tory self centrism. What I actually heard there was a group of lost ideologues rolling out Thatcherite tropes about poor people, dole bludgers and a lack of motivation from people who will soon have to depend on such people for their health and well being. 1 word selfishness.
I usually manage about halfway. It’s like listening to a live lobotomy…
I thought my level of distain had hit it's peak....But the hate is bubbling over today. 12 yrs of tories have destroyed this country.
Imagine having no empathy and nothing but contempt for fellow humans. These people sicken me.
Projection
Toryism is just sociopathy weaponized through the political system.
I mean our natural state is caring a lot about ourselves and our family and friends and not much about anyone else
It's not just the current government.... its the entire political class which includes the opposition. they are all in it together. The current labour party presents no danger to the policies laid down by the ruling classes. That is why Jeremy Corbin was nullified by the press and everyone else who said he was unelectable and an Antisemite. There is no real challenge to the agenda of capital above all else. And who speaks for this agenda ... The British press, the rich, the conservatives and their stooges in the right-wing labour cohort.
@@remotefaith Not at all the case. Read "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution" by the evolutionary biologist and anarcho-socialist luminary Petr Kropotkin. The most successful species are the most selfless and community minded species, and that community mindedness was a key factor in us becoming the dominant species on earth. The whole "there is no such thing as society" line is a lie pushed by radicalized capitalists like Maggie Thatcher (thank the gods she's dead) so they can hold onto power.
you can literally see this ideology straining to breaking point in the red faces of these people. great work !
It’s a sickness.
How ironic that you won't find a single inch of white skin amidst this entire crowd of white supremacists, but if they were honest and called themselves red supremacists they might be mistaken for communists.
It's the alcoholism.
cognitive dissonance.
Each Tory/conservative sociopath has absolutely NEVER had to to justify or explain themselves. They're just used to generalising and dismissing critique of their ideas. Pissed or sober.
This is like someone interviewing the titanic staff an hour after hitting the iceberg.
😂
'yes, the ship is taking on water. But you'll be pleased to know first class are in the life boats and heading for safety'
Delusion, ignorance, contempt and selfishness!
I didn't realise my jaw could drop this low.
The hipocrisy among these people is unbelievable. Makes me sick to my stomach that they are running our country.
Running or ruining
@@stop-the-greed running the country into the ground
Yes. Quite horrifying, Such hipocrisy, as loads of comfortable, middle class, pretend socialist, WOKE, silly people,have a group moan about the Tories.......... HA HA HA HA HA..
There is no absolute poverty in this country? I’m from Africa and I can tell you I am shocked at some of the poverty I see here in a country where the average cost of daily essentials is so expensive!
They are trying to gaslight us, but we see the suffering each day in our own communities and lives.
That guy was an awful man. Arguing about how somebody is poor, and not absolutely poor. Awful people.
I find it astonishing that the Tories were still polling as high as 10% in Scotland last week. What are these people thinking.
yup. i drove 1000 miles around kenya, the roads were much better there generally too!
has he seen how many people died from austerity and are homeless?
these people are sick
Is evil an illness?
@@BluCat86 evillness
@@ThrashingHorror Ah, yes. 😂
If this ends the Tory party, it will all be almost worth it.
It won’t but we will likely get rid for a bit at least.
You can't kill vampires off that easily.
Sadly.
I believe a better future is ahead. But the tory party revolve in fuckery so the fight is never done.
'I don't have a mortgage, a lot of people don't have a mortgage' says it all. I'm alright Jack, and no one can afford a house anyway
owning a house or flat isnt a necessity despite whet people seem to think and mortgages are voluntarily entered into
Exactly and I bet he has alot of savings and will benefit from the increase in interest rates . I am in the same position , but would rather see interest rates stay the same because of people who do have mortgages .
@@scooby1992 if raising interest rates is a method of reducing inflation and inflation affects alonost everyone surely it's better that mortgage holders take the knock rather than everyone
@@danteshydratshirt2360 Yes voluntarily entered into at a certain interest rate which can then go up. If there were rent caps I would agree that owning a property is not a necessity, but unfortunately there aren't. Not to mention mortgages going up increases rents anyway.
@@atomiccritter6492 giving you a pay rise adds cost to your company, reducing its employee headcount and/or increasing prices for goods and services (aka inflation). Surely its better for everyone, to freeze your wage...or better still cut it. Right?
Thank you for showing the harsh reality of what the Tory Party has become.
Always was 😊
Yet there are still fuckwits who thing they're doing great..like that woman.
Has become? 😂
@@colinbrigham8253 always bad but has gotten much worse.

Owen I met you at Tory Conference in 2021 over a year ago now but now I’ve done a complete 180 politically and i hate the Tories wholeheartedly.
we love to see it!!
We all make mistakes when we're young and dumb.
Let’s pray that this is the end of the Tory party!
It always regenerates because money.
No chance, it is the woodlouse of politics - nothing kills it.
I doubt it
@@jonathonjubb6626 I agree, it's like a Hydra.
@@jonathonjubb6626 Besides, they have neoliberal labour as a backup
imagine what they say in private
Yeah they look at us as Peasants!
Mostly racial slurs I imagine.
I'd rather not!
I came to laugh, I stayed to weep.
Rarely in my life have so many politicians made me feel physically sick with their utterly cowardly and inane nonsensical answer.
I look forward to this video every year lol.
Its so strange to me how selfish these people are. They're clearly wealthy, not struggling during this crisis, yet they can't share the tiniest bit of that wealth to help the least fortunate. How do these people live with themselves?
comfortably in large houses with frequent holidays
The end days of the Conservative party draws ever closer 🙂
Nah, labour will be there to fill in the gaps.
Does Not matter... the current labour party presents no danger to the policies laid down by the ruling classes. That is why Jeremy corbin was nullified by the press and everyone else who said he was unelectable and an Antisemite. They is no real challenge to the agenda of capital above all else. And who speaks for this agenda ... The British press, the rich, the conservatives and their stooges in the right wing labour cohort.
Don't be so sure. The problem with the Tories is their donors and the class they represent. Even if the party disintegrates the people and interests will still exist. They'll migrate to other parties or form new ones. The cancer will spread until they find a new home.
@@IshtarNike 1/ what kind of 'class' makes this sort of comment ? You say the people will still exist ? ...& why shouldnt they ? What makes you so perfect ? As for slinging the term 'cancer' around, I hope you never get it or see a loved one die or suffer from it,. what a vile example of humanity you are...but thats MARXIST LABOUR supporters for you !
@@IshtarNike on the plus side, the Tory party in its current state has been 70+ years in the making. I'm hopeful that it will take their scattered membership decades to rebuild any semblance of a right wing party on this scale (and maybe if we're very lucky, they never will!).
From the people who said Labour crashed the economy during the global financial crisis, comes "Truss is the victim of global currents"
They’re either dumb or plain mean… I’m absolutely disgusted and I don’t even live in the UK.
😂
They live in their rich bubbles
These people are so unbelievably selfish... I'm speechless
If because mental health services has been totally detached from politics, society is going to say that "the poor, stressed, over-worked, underpaid, lonely and exploited are just depressed and need medication," then when are we going to also say that:
"a sufficient measure of arrogance, sadism, short-term thinking and indifference to the problems/suffering of others and society as a whole (as a result of obscene wealth and isolation from the wider world), is a mental/emotional sickness in the same way?"
Jacob Reese-Mog is a millionaire who will not be hurt by these misguided tory policies. They all need to go at the next election.
But we need Labour to reverse policies and actually being left wing....just not seeing it with Starmer
He's a millionaire 100 times over.
👏🏼 to whoever produced and edited this. Well done chap! Well done Owen!
Disgusting!! I am a full time worker in a bank branch. I have two teenagers at home and am a single parent. I earn below the average salary and was receiving some working tax credits to help. I have now had those tax credits reduced to virtually nothing. When I spoke to the tax credits people, they said you only get working tax credits if your total household salary is under £15k. How on earth do they expect us to cope
Rees-Mogg: the perfect medicine for a quick start of the bowel movement.
Rees-Mogg: Future occupant of the UK' second most frequented gender neutral restroom, only after the one occupied by Margaret Thatcher.
Laxative for the eyes.
Boggles my mind how shameless they choose to be
Their attitude towards the job market with unemployment sitting at 3.6% and 1.2 million already working 2 or more jobs with the economy in the state it’s in is absolutely baffling.
It’s like they’ve forgotten that the lowest paid jobs were the ones that kept society functioning during the events of the last 2 years…
Low-paid jobs are ALWAYS the ones that keep society functioning. Humanity could survive without hedge fund managers, top athletes, news anchors, movie stars, and possibly even lawyers, journalists and politicians. I wonder how long we would last without farmers, teachers, nurses, builders, garbagemen and shop workers.
The lack of empathy is frightening. The guy at 20:37 utter sociopath.
"Ya, it was great mate. Got proper coked up at conference. The office sharing round that interview with Owen Jones. Banter"

top tory banter from that geezer who voted for jack skellington. top class tory banter. top class.
laughed out loud at this lmao
The easiest way of getting ‘a better paid job’ is to go on strike for better pay. Nice to see the tories backing strike action. 😂
Sometimes you have to break rules, to make rules.
I honestly don't know what to say; this was pretty heartbreaking to watch. You asked if it was delusion, ignorance, contempt or zealotry. It's probably a bit of all of those things. One thing it isn't is compassionate. Thanks for covering this event Owen and shining a light on the beliefs and attitudes (misguided or otherwise) of the people who still support this cruel regime.

"I am very angry" I bet he is, she just lost him £55.000 😅
The Tories always come across as weird, nasty individuals whose only concern is how much more money they can get their grasping hands on !
Owen you have honed yours skills and are doing a fantastic job of chasing these people down.
"Have to look at the rest of the world" is their rebuke and that makes it ok. So if they compare to other countries, the EU has imposed windfall tax on energy companies, so they should do the same here.
No no no. 'Tory' is a state of mind in which the EU no longer exists and can be safely ignored. It's their only option, given that all the lies I've read for over 40 years are now being shown to be just that.
Like a small child, or an untrained dog. If you get caught, lie. If your lie is called out, pretend.
Having been in 4 eu countries in the last 3 weeks I can say categorically the atmosphere, the shops and outlooks there whilst mindful of things increasing is ao vastly different to here
Funny how the other rest of the world hasn't had to buy its own gilts to make sure the pensions disappeared......
Which planet are those people living on?
The people you interview in this video were all the last person at their school disco who didn't get asked to dance, and since then each one has committed the rest of their lives to making the rest of us pay for it.
😂
Since when did the incels takeover ? This seems new that it’s the incel type managing to arise to positions of power or born into immense wealth and privilege
Chap at 19:34 is a prime example
Tell all the homeless people sleeping rough that there is no such thing as absolute poverty🤬
They deem the homeless as the lowest in society..evil Tory swines.
"You're putting thoughts in to my mind" cracked me up. 😂🤣😂
😮 “There is no poverty in this country, I don’t see it”
Yeah exactly , you don’t see it, cause the Conservatives our out of touch with the everyday person, they look at us like peasants,
Its Scary!!!
And the "I find it hard to believe" line is really quite literal isn't it? Maybe it should be "I find it uncomfortable to believe, so I decide it's not true in order to feel ok"
This is so much the mindset of so many people tho. My brother in law takes exactly this view. Basically “I don’t see it, so it must not be happening”.
I admire your restraint. I would definitely have tripped up JRM 'accidentally'.
This is a work of art! My jaw dropped many times throughout this, but it hit the floor at 19:34
The gentleman appears to be mentally ill. I wouldn't be too harsh on him.
He looked pissed or had taken something else 🤔
Same here! If there was ever a stereotype of a Tory Party member then he is it! Shameful disregard for fellow human beings. I'll never understand how people can think this way.
He looks like he specifically cosplayed as Boris Johnson for the occasion.
Did he call him a c*nt at the end?
It’s time for Labour

Absolutely right
Outstanding work! Thank-you. They just don't give a F do they?
Clearly the unofficial slogan for this year's tory conference is "got mine, FU"
That could be the tory party's slogan every year
I always think I can't hate or be disgusted by the tories anymore but they always prove me wrong.
utter sociopaths with not a shred of empathy.
the "absolute poverty" guy is a perfect example.
They really do think people on benefits can afford foreign holidays and a car don't they?
"Everyone can afford a loaf of bread and butter a day". Loaves of butter? Every single day!?! My word!
Carbs and fat. Guaranteed obesity
The best collection of misanthropes I've ever seen!!
8.15 is everything that's wrong with those in power. Tory: "...I'm a pensioner so rates of tax don't worry me too much." OJ: "People's mortgages are going up because of all this" Tory: "I don't have a mortgage"
Hard to believe how quickly he points out the advantages of rising taxes... for pension funds! Unbelievable.
Theyre frightened Owen, keep doing what you're doing.
Their complete ignorance of reality is astounding and sickening but clearly a necessity to keep their delusions alive.
It's like a cult mentality. They need to take part in some de-programming sessions. Or maybe intereract with real humans on a regular basis.

Suella Braverman, believes that "too many people rely on benefits". In 2021 she claimed £4,815 in expenses for her second home. A single person on Universal Credit receives £4,018 for an entire year.
Most Tories come across as if they've had profound issues in their childhood, which is genuinely sad. Probably a lack of emotional nourishment. Just a shame they seem to vent their spleen on the population of this country by entering politics.
That's no excuse. I had an unhappy time growing up (mother died from cancer, bullied at school, brother committed suicide), but I lean left. My experiences have made me more empathetic towards other people, not less.

I cannot watch any more, the guy saying he doesn't have a mortgage is enough to portray the I'm all right Jack brigade and their inability for critical thinking
Great journalism, and brilliant editing. Thanks for shining a light on these sociopaths trying to defend the indefensible.
There are some jewels of humanity at this event. Some truly astonishing personalities. They shouldn't be let anywhere near a decision making process of course, but astonishing nevertheless.

This video should come with a health warning for anyone with high blood pressure… maddening
The lack of basic human compassion from Tory party members is horrifying. They have no shame in expressing these views in public.
can we have data that compares the money given to 'dole scroungers' to money pissed away on tory donors etc? i would imagine we spent 1000x less on these 'scroungers' than the toffs.
Thanks for the video. I don't think a lot of people realise quite how rancid a significant portion of people really are. Totally gross.

Fun fact: "Tory" comes from an Irish word, meaning bandit. The clue is in the name.
Love your body of work
Gotta love Owen picking away at the scabs of what’s left of their conscience and humanity.
Amazing how the answer to the problems starts with educating the conservatives in the reality of lives for most of the people in the country.
