I dunno I'm still mad at him for them even putting borris on thus show and laughing all etonian together as if borris wasn't a terrible person. I'd never heard of him till he was on thus show and it was a great show. If the election was for him to be on this show I'd have voted for him. But they had him on twice. I just don't think it's right to have somone on whos a politician . It gives them a boost and people like matt Hancock and anyone else ..it should not be that a celebrity who's got way more tv time goes against somone like corbyn at the. Time who was on a hilarious beloved TV show ...if he had been in peep show or something people would think that was cool. Or just recognise his face and thereby make him more commonly known. I just feel that's wrong somehow.
@@Padraigp Johnson was a bozo on HIGNFY. If anybody thought that they would vote for him as Prime Minister for that performance, well. some people are idiots. That's not Ian's fault.
@@Padraigp First time I saw Boris was on HIGNFY and I immediately twigged him as a total idiot. Of course I was proved right over the years. This is not Ian's fault and I agree his is a national treasure. Long may he reign.
I think I'll be angry about this for at least as long as the postmasters were falsely accused and everyone involved gets brought to book. Maybe 25 years would do it.
Same in Canada - we had one time I believe that went for 8 weeks and everybody hated it. We always look south to the US with sympathy and lack of understanding of the ongoing campaigns. 🇨🇦
American system is hideous. An endless loop of banal and/or duplicitous propaganda. I am with Mary. Sign us up for six or even eight weeks, please!!! If a party can't get its ideas out in six weeks, then they aren't ready to form a government. It's not complicated, right?
I've always been proud of the healthy contempt Brits and Scandinavians have for politicians! Even the ones we like we distrust and hold at arms length!
all we need now is to understand that tory despise everyone who is not rich and , with critical help/lies/omissions from the entire UK news media gets away with actively working against the best interests of the vast majority , ALL of the time.
@@beldarin I always watch both too -- except the episode hosted by Martin Lewis, whom I found an appalling host and could not be bothered to see more of him.
True. But that joke has been going around, so probably people had already heard it and laughed, unfortunately for the Barroness, so the element of surprise was losf this time.
WOW...since I never saw the "extended" version until recently (living in the USA) I had ALWAYS wondered how they came up with the really craziest scores with the short version. Now I know. 🤯😎
Thank you for the posting, and especially for getting rid of that Apple ad. It truly shows Edward Bernays would be proud that his plans are still working perfectly. 🤮
One aspect of the Apple ad which most people miss is the fact that virtually all the instruments & equipment depicted as being destroyed by that animation of a press, aren't able to be operated by Ai!
24:34 As I said in the 30-minute version (I always watch both!🌟) I actually prefer those quiet little museums. If the staff is motivated, they’ll have time to have a lovely conversations or geek out with someone who shares the “niche” interest. Examples in London: Canal and Brunel museums, and Dr Johnson’s house.
It's worth remembering that she received a baronetcy largely because she was perceived as a popular enough political figure that she posed a leadership threat.
I do like Ruth and I like liking Ruth. It feels good to admire people who occupy other parts of the political spectrum, such as Christian conservative Angela Merkel. It reassures me that bad apples aside, we genuinely do all share more ground than we perhaps think.

Should be the regular host. He's extremely funny and very knowledgeable. I know the show went to the current format of different hosts each week, a long time ago. It needs to go back to having one host. Or have Phil on more than he is, right now..
14:45 and 7:15 One of the funniest things about the King Charles painting is that the HIGNFY standard background colour is identical the majority of the painting.
They've got to remove it because this video goes up in parts of the world where Apple doesn't want that version of the ad shown and because they can't be seen to be supporting one product over another because of some esoteric journalism law. Basically they'd have to restrict the video to only certain countries and also play an android as if they wanted to keep it in.
I understand why they had to replace Anglea Eagle on this program after the announcement of the '17 election, but why is Amol Rajan such a threat to BBC impartiality?
@@CaptainCed Jess Phillips was on only a week or two. So it would probably have been a Tory. It was possibly Ruth and they shifted her to the panel, though it would seem to me there is more opportunity for partisanship (which she did not exploit) there than as the host.
It has to be asked: How much impartiality can be needed in the run-up to an election where the parties are essentially twins? Has there ever been an election where the probable consequences are so minimal?
What a brainless, sophomoric, bland opinion. If you still genuinely can see no difference between Labour and the Tories after the last decade and a half, you need to see a doctor about the traumatic brain injury you're presumably suffering from.
British media rules are very strict once an election is called. Every minute of coverage of one party has to be balanced with equal time for the opposition. They all have their stopwatches out.
26/05/2024 British PM promises to bring back conscription Rishi Sunak claims compulsory national service would revive the “national spirit” Under the scheme, which is expected to cost around £2.5 billion ($3.19 billion) per year, all 18-year-olds would be required to either join the military full-time or volunteer one weekend per month, with community organizations such as the police or National Health Service (NHS)
I really like the idea of national service. Doubt it would go down in the US, where I live, but it would be really good for us. We need wising up, exposure to other cultures, and some humility. In my mind, national service might serve a similar function to university. Teaches you that you don't know crap. I find that characteristic lacking in those who didn't get taught that in college. When you are "forced" to study subjects you have no interest or aptitude for, you learn a lot and develop a kind of grit that is very useful in life. It would also be a great introduction to the world for prospective uni students and help them possibly focus on what they would like to major in.
@@asincerewoman I really COMPLETELY agree with you 💯%. There used to be class called "Civics Education"It hasn't been taught in schools for quite a while, it may have been filled with propaganda (thinking about it more deeply now) but it gave a sense of getting along with fellow citizens. I do think that some sort of "growing up" is required for young adults because they are living in too much convenience and that is what is going to bring the masses into overall slavery letting governments across the globe to dictate their future.
@@asincerewomanThere's always too much focus on the military with those schemes, which is unfortunate. The military is just one component of a healthy society. We have poisoned the health of the nation with an overdose of personal independence, and serving our neighbors is the only cure.
Interesting to see that the apple advert had to be cut - probably easy for automated systems to issue takedown requests for that sort of thing, I suppose? (Time to look for it elsewhere...)
Surbiton Station is It has been considered one of the finest modernist stations in Great Britain and is a Grade II listed building. The Baroness is correct that it's 1930s, though: 1937. I've seen it covered by Geoff Marshall on his RU-vid channel.
