He actually ran for parliament himself, just to prove a point. He made an excellent programme explaining the reason why his team decided to do it. He didn't expect to get elected, he was highlighting how bizarre government and political parties are.
Me and my wife were looking around on RU-vid and found your guys' channel. We subscribe to it and by the way, thank you for your service and being a teachers that is a thankless job. Been watching you guys for a couple of weeks now. We love it keep up the good work. May god bless both of you and your family
On your comments at the end about what he was going to say on teachers , I think you will be right in your thoughts as it's exactly the same here, idiot politicians interfering every year with schools who have no idea what they are talking about ....personally I find it incredibly sad how politics has gone in the world as it has an impact on us all whether you follow politics or not ...its now full of self serving narcissistic greedy selfish individuals , who haven't got a compassionate bone in their body
He's talking about Nigel Farage who was the leader of UK Independent Party. They were extremely popular. Farage is now the President of Reform UK which is now soaring up the popularity polls.
Agree regarding teaching in the UK bureaucrats inspecting lessons, Checking lesson plans while students are in the class learning . Al Murray is brilliant!
I'm loving your reactions to British comedy. I get that you don't always get the references, and why would you, they are aimed at British people but I love seeing you laugh at comedy, be it British or not. The wife (sorry I don't know your name) has such an infectious laugh/smile. It's great to watch.
The can't eat a bacon sandwich properly comment was about a politician who ate a bacon sandwich in an overly fastidious manner, making it looks like he had zero familiarity with bacon sandwiches. It would be like a an American politician going into a diner and eating a grilled cheese by cutting it into 1-inch squares and picking up the squares with a pastry fork whilst dabbing at the corners of his mouth with a fine white linen napkin. It wouldn't quite convey the man of the people image that ordering the grilled cheese would have been intended to.
Loving their content seriously, to unheard ofs watching a comedian and having no idea about uk politics (their words). Their first request, to get more subs, get a job may be a better career move
@@albybloke2289 They are both Teachers! and whats wrong with you? am i not allowed to like youtubers and comment? who the F8ck are you to tell me who i laugh with? listen! a cuddle usually helps with that type of anger you have! so! here! have a cuddle!
@@albybloke2289 Someone is jealous. BTW we both have careers and masters degrees. This is just a hobby. If someone likes it, then cool. Ask mommy for a few hugs and have a good day
I should stick to your day jobs then, and jealous, I think not, and if you are educated enough to have masters degrees I would have thought you’d have enough sense to watch how the English comedy system works. Well done for telling the world you’ve got degrees, I’m sure everyone is so impressed. Hugs back at ya
Nigel Paul Farage is a British broadcaster and former politician who was Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2006 to 2009 and 2010 to 2016 and Leader of the Brexit Party (renamed Reform UK in 2021) from 2019 to 2021. He was Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South East England from 1999 until the United Kingdom's exit from the EU in 2020.
The thing in the U.K. is that our, Education Secretary, has never worked in a school. Health Secretary has never worked in the health service. The Security of State for Defence, has never worked in the armed forces.
No, that's why they have a team behind them to advise them. Cabinet ministers change all the time. How can you expect all of them to have worked in these professions, ridiculous.
google ed milliband eating a bacon sandwich, then you'll get the bacon sandwich joke... nigel farage was the leader of ukip at one point, he did an interview while he was waving a pint about in the pub...
The party whose name you didn't get was UKIP, pronounced 'you kip' and standing for United Kingdom Party. They whose whose main if not only policy was to get UK out of European Union. Remember Brexit?
Ed Miliband is the politician that couldn't eat the bacon sandwich properly. The Labour Party is for anyone from centre left to far left, the Conservative Party is/used to be centre right to right (the people running it). UKIP can be anywhere from centre right to some far right. There is alot of new alternative parties to the Conservative Party, the only problem there is quite a few of them. They or atleast a few of the top ones need to join forces somehow, but for some reason I don't see it happening soon.
The colour changing represent the different colours of each UK party: CONSERVATIVE (TORIES) = BLUE LABOUR = RED LIBERAL DEMOCRATS = YELLOW UKIP = PURPLE/YELLOW
Not too sure I'd agree with that. I'd go with Conservatives = Republicans, but US Democrats are very centrist, nowhere near left enough to compare to our Lib Dems, and the US would have a complete meltdown about Labour - Anything left of centre is Communist according the average American. Agree about UKIP though
the big problem here is that when we cleared our debt to the Americans in 2006 due to ww2 our businesses should return to the uk ,but the tories holded on to the fact as to resell them not only the tories but the labour party also they are just as much to blame. jaguar and land rover is still owned by the Americans and tata indian company and british steel the rest of it was sold to the eu union in Cambridge a woman called sophie wilson invented a cpu that can generate its own power but as the business was a small company , apple said to that company to put it on the market as apple will use it in their phones so they did now that company has 20% of shares so it gets ridiculous heinz sold the hp sauce to the danes in the eighties and then mercades benz built a car showroom on the land where there was high in unemployment MERCADES BENZ would you believe it you can check all the facts and find them out i do not blame any Americans to the problem but now we do not own anything America does manufacturing has gone from Birmingham we have a high unemployment rate i think that politics has gone down the tubes to be honest we are just pawns on a chess board.
Ukip. The only party that believed in the right of tge British people to have a vote on something no one had voted to join in the first place. Well done Nigel 👍
We recently had a head teacher who committed suicide because she had an offsted visit which is experts who come in as government officials (civil servants) with a check list and they decide whether the school is a pass or fail by giving a four point scale outstanding, Good,Requires Improvement, or Inadequate which can put the school in to special measures this devastating decision led to this person taking their own life. Now there may be a change coming to make the system less severe.
And no questions at all must be asked about how such a high performing person, who had years of dealing with high levels of stress in her role and dealt so well with it she was promoted to head... let the school degrade so much under her watch and couldn't face the consequences. We must instead deal with this emotionally and change the entire system...
@@rescyn1190 Ofsted seems to have taken this emotionally and changed the way it operates. www.gov.uk/government/news/changes-made-to-school-inspections
I think you've already noticed by now but at the start of all his shows, Al spends so much time interacting with the guests. He uses this info he collected throughout his shows and it makes each show personal and therefore more enjoyable. If it wasn't for the fact I hate crowded spaces he is one comedian I'd love to see live..
You both do a great job thanks. This is a good reaction video but I think you are wrong about us not to know about issues in the system I think things need to be highlighted before anyone will know it's a problem and needs improvement.
bacon sandwich joke was "Red" Ed Miliband who was leader of Labour for a while - a short while. he was filmed trying to be a normal bloke eating a bacon sandwich , and failing. :D son of a millionaire communist author and someone who went to Harvard. he couldn't be a "man of the people" .. UKIP were the BREXIT party and the bloke with the pint was NIgel Farage, a close pal of Donald Trump. they were only successful party in recent history... they achieved what they set out to do ; hold a referendum on UK membership of the EU
Loving your reactions to British comedy but for a lot of me & my pals, the greatest stand up is actually an American called Bill Hicks! He was massive in the U.K. but was almost unknown in the states due to his subject matter! To me he's the late great Prophet of my generation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KgzQuE1pR1w.html
Odd choice of clips guys you were never going to get most of the references. If you want a decent length clip of Al's that you will understand, watch Al Murray - Anthems or Al Murray - Secretary.
The bacon sandwidge incident was a picture taken by a photographer ripping of 20 frames a second as the politician eat a sandwidge and then his paper published the one photo that looked the most awkward in the set. Now the politician in question was slightly awkward anyway, like most people, at least compared to other politicians who spend all their time with image consultants polishing their mannerisms and appearance to a fine sheen, but I challenge anyone to eat a sandwidge without at some point in a 1/20th of a second of a bite not looking at their best. Arguably that bite lost him the election, as the press pushed it so hard, just like Al Murray did here. Lessons were learned and now you don't see politicians eating in public that much these days, but now all you get is the polished figureheads that Al Murray hates even more! The thing is Al Murray is actually playing a character when he does his standup, and doesn't actually believe a lot of what he says himself, but a lot of his audience do.
UKIP is the United Kingdom Independance Party. Al Murray stood against their Leader at that time Nigel Farrage. Neither won the seat. There are many UK political parties although there tends to be only 2 that can form a UK government although recently there has being a coalition where two parties were in control: The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have regional governments and all have different political parties running them compared to the UK governing party.
With regards to the "Experts," in my homeland (British Gibraltar) which incidentally, is at the end of the day a British Overseas Territory in Europe (ie a Self Governing Territory/Colony since 1704 with a British Governor nominated by Whitehall).Now these experts are often looked by us as people the "system" in Whitehall wants out of the way, ie "Send them over to the natives and do something productive," and yet we have very capable people who can do the same if not improve the task being faced but they couldn't have "natives" upstaging the Colonial masters. One example was HMS Tireless, a nuke Sub that had serious mechanical problems and we had "experts" over to the Naval Base in our dockyard and couldn't make heads or tails of it. It took a bloke "who knew his beans" yet had no Uni education, only his apprenticeship plus a few decades of experience ! He pointed out to the assembled experts the nature and location of the crisis, "Impossible, no way, cannot be," they said. With a look of pity at their aloofness, one twitch of his nose, asked them to take a closer look at the engine area that was causing the problem, turns around and said "There it is," and walked off.Everybody was left aghast with jaws hitting the deck like a dropped spanner .
Photographer caught a politician in a very unflattering photograph of him, eating a bacon sandwich he was Jewish. UKIP was a political party that fought for a vote to leave The European Union commonly called Brexit. Experts. I’ve been a planner for many many years and I’ve had my fair share of emergency callouts I did eight years just doing emergencies. The experts were the husbands when you turned up at a job. The amount of times they were right 1% I did enjoy making them look, total idiots in front of their wives not that I would do it deliberately, of course😂😂 John Bishop live at the Apollo one to watch
A planner??...trying to understand what your job is/was...did you spell some words wrong as your comments make no sense...interested what emergencies needs calling out a planner!!! 🤷♂️

@@normanfairbrass7275 Not sure 'admit' is the right word. He very much likes Europe- see his documentaries. The pub landlord character is a satire of the sort of 'little'Englander' mentally that led to Brexit, so obviously he is not going to be an actual fan of such thinking given his act is taking the piss out of it. "The glory of Brexit is its incredible lack of self-awareness”- Al Murray
@@normanfairbrass7275admitting... like what he did or anyone not voting for the sh*t show that is was brexit is a crime??? Its been a total disaster and farage the racist lying sod (also a friend of firm friend of donald trump) promoted it massively to help himself and his elite mates out.. a few people got very rich while the rest of us have suffered and list a lot of money to the point the middle class are losing their homes.. now we are all are ready to boot out the tory party for good in 2024 as a result. Farage used the little englander mindset as does the tory party to get what he and his mates want.. the rest of us be damned in his mindset. Has farage apologised for the permenant hit to our economy and all the jobs and homes lost, damage to import and export etc.. no.
A lot of it was topical to the point I’d forgotten about the bacon sandwich. Ed Milliband was the guy involved. There would be better Al Murray clips for you to watch. Jokes that need explaining aren’t funny.
UKIP (UK Independence Party) leader at the time was Nigel Farage, renowned for trying to be for the workers, and was often seen in the pub drinking a pint of English Ale. His "so-called" common sense politics was nothing more than fanciful fear mongering, which led to the UK being the first country in history to impose economic sanctions on itself, which ended up bringing the UK to where is is now, on the verge of splitting apart, massive loss of international trade, empty supermarket shelves, worse performing economy in the G7, etc. The Conservative Party also played a large role in this. The reference to the Bacon sandwich is about the former leader of the Labour Party, Ed Milliband, a posh twat who hasn't done any hard work in his life attempting to be a common man by eating a bacon sandwich.....However, it was always gonna turn into a disaster as this was a guy who always eats using solid silver knife and fork. Finger food is something completely alien to him.
UKIP turn radical and the voters dropped them, the BREXIT Party was formed by the creator of UKIP and influenced politics until we left the EU, and it then rebranded to the Reform UK party, a very strong runner at the moment, scaring the current government that refuses to enact legislation promised by them... Not one MP yet they're terrified of their standing in the polls right now. The UK must have an election by January 2025, so they're scared because Reform UK is gaining in popularity in leaps and bounds...
just to prove how much of a joke politicians are awhile back Australia could of had a Prime Minister and vice Prime Minister by the name of Abbott and Costello and that is no joke
Ukip were a new UK nationalist party with their key points being separating from Europe, reducing migration into the UK and focusing on UK nationals. Nigel Farage was their leader.
11:50 Well if the schools are teaching ideology as fact, they should be listening to the parents. Why would parents want THEIR children to be indoctrinated? The parents are likely not telling teachers 'how' to teach but 'what' to teach, more likely they're saying they don't want their white son or black daughter to see themselves as an oppressor or a victim. Among other ideological/cultural topics. If schools are bowing down to parents who are opposed to identity politics... I see that as a win.
Nigel Farage and UKIP were a uniquely English problem, appealing to a uniquely English mindset that blamed the EU for everything that was wrong in the country. England has a long history of blaming Europe for its woes, particularly the French. UKIP stood on a platform of leaving the EU and they took Parliamentary seats off the Tories in their historically most Tory seats in the south and SE of England, with some Tories who were anti-EU even leaving the Tories to join UKIP, prompting the Tory leader and PM at the time, David Cameron, to panic and to try to squash UKIP and his own anti-EU MP's by bringing the house down by holding a referendum on leaving the EU (Cameron thinking Leave would easily lose, but much like in the US with Trump they woefully misjudged the mood of the people -well the English people anyway- and like Trump there were many half-truths, untruths, exaggerations and outright lies told that riled the people up to vote Leave). The resulting Brexit vote split the UK (England and Wales voted to Leave the EU, Scotland, NI and Gibraltar voted to Remain, but England is biggest so all had to leave want to or not). Now look at state of the country as a result. Brexit is one of the biggest unnecessary self-inflicted wounds in British history. The real Al murray, who is a very intelligent man, as opposed to his on-stage pub landlord persona, stood against Farage in an election in South Thanet but lost.
