I have spoken socially to civil servants of no great status, but all were adiment they. run the country, not labour or tory, ministers who are really like a glossy front cover on a book. Equally we'dgewood Benn claimed the Treasury was the most despicable of all civil servants, they seemed To hate British industry and the workers that devised new products requiring government money.
Whatever else, as an election is called the fundamental financial circumstances of the any nation should be made public within a day so that (a) the election is fought over true not politically made up values (b) a new government does no come in to find that the situation is far removed from what they had campaigned. Seems only sensible.
If you put immigration in with all of your criminal problems as a department then I think you're going to have a horrible starting place for your viewpoints and the view of the public on immigration. Might as well open up the department of pedophilia and immigrants.
Willie Whitelaw in the 1980s was pointing out that prison is an expensive way of making bad people worse. Howard and Blunkett in particular - both populist idiots - might do well to reflect on that
"The First Lord of the Treasury is the Prime Minister "..."there would be bitter battles between the Treasury and No 10" ..." Treasury was very battered "..." plunged the ailing economy into recession " ...but what was happening on the streets was no laughing matter " ,,," inflation returned in the late 80s.."
get rid of the royal family it would save us the UK 18 billion a year and also trying to claim cold wether payments from the government to heat the public palace she wont let's into unless we pay we own the palace not the windsors
I am now watching this video in October of 2021. In the past 18 month alone since the making of this, our longest reigning monarch the dear Queen Elizabeth II has lost her husband of 70+ years. Her grandson leave the establishment to live abroad with her great grandchildren. Her second son now has ongoing sex scandal allegations bringing disgrace and unrest to the monarchy. Living through one of the biggest 100yr pandemics, Still reigning through political turmoil of Brexit and world economic crises! This woman in my opinion has never failed the monarchy and all it stands for in her entire lifetime since being born into the world spotlight because of her having the title HRH Princess 👸 to Queen. 👑. 🥰🙏. The history of the British Monarchy is 100s and 100s of years legendary but I doubt the great British Monarchy will ever have another head of state remotely like her again!!
It was a young Queen Mary, in Africa, when a young overly exuberant young man jumped on the running board of her car, getting himself few whacks from the Queens umbrella. Our Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of the Commonwealth. Long live the Queen👋🏻🇦🇺
Thank you for sharing this wonderful series on our beautiful Queen and her beloved Family. At 27.40, this really moved me so much............. With the Country's unprecedented outpouring of grief after the death of Princess Diana - it also became one of the very few times when the Queen put her Family before her immediate duty, that says so much of her love for her Family and her Grandchildren. I find it very moving how the Country also wanted to have their Queen by their side, and to share in their grief........... God bless HMTQ, a truly, remarkable woman 💖
I was born and raised in a British Commonwealth Country. The Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Andrew visited our City in 1979 on an official visit. I was in the front row of the crowd of people hoping to see her during their walk about. The Queen and Prince Philip stopped right in front of me and they each spoke to me. To this day, and I am now my 60s, it still remains one of the most special moments of my life. RIP Prince Philip, and love live our wonderful Queen 💗
Funny how people have always assumed that everything happening in the sky has had to do with them. Signs of war, death, doom... Now we know it is just rocks falling mindlessly around according to the laws of nature. (Some of us know that, anyway.)
At 10:45 It is incorrect to imply that she would not have become Queen if Edward VIII had not abdicated. Edward & Wallis had no children and if he had not abdicated Elizabeth would have become Queen on his death in 1972 instead of on her father's death in 1952. She & Philip would probably have preferred the 1972 option
