How Johnson, Truss and Sunak Broke Britain | James O'Brien Vs The Government Part 2 

So not Labour allowing banking to get so light touch causing the biggest financial shock ever? Or Labour getting involved in several unwinnable wars?

​@0w784g You would think Tories would have got around to solving those problems by now . How many decades does it take to change banking regulations? Which unwinnable wars wars should the UK have stayed out of that would have prevented this Tory mess ?

And now he is back-an unelected parliamentarian, who isn't even an MP. He just waltzed into the job after his amazing record of causing untold disaster...I don't want to live in this country anymore.

Agree. It's almost as though he disappeared just long enough for the whole Brexit shit show to settle enough in the media so that he can come back without the proper scrutiny. And making him a LORD what the fuck?? The house of lords - the upper chamber of our government, needs abolishing or massive reform. Politicians seem to nominate their cronies always. Never anyone in the country of millions are selected who've done something that actually deserves a lordship

A collapsing economic system and an elite fearing for its economic and political power paved the way. Same as a century ago.

How Johnson, Truss and Sunak Broke Britain | James O'Brien Vs The Government Part 2 0841am 17.11.23 from UK: i am left wondering who boris johnson ended up having a literal fight with to then decide he needed to jump ship...? the best resignation speech i have ever heard. he was saying, as those who have fallen on their sword a little to early: ok, you think others can do a better job? i'm beggering off!! which is the underpinning literary motif of that nice little bit of media hyperbole. i like it! get to the effin point rather than fannying about... the commons could learn a lot from that kindda of stance...

Sort out your own problem in France mate, and stop off loading your migrate problem on Britain.

Get this guy on your list.

It's worth bearing in mind that James campaigned vigorously against Labour in the last general election. He partly has himself to blame for all this, but has terrible trouble admitting it.

​@ExploreGamesAndMore except he didn't campaign vigorously against Labour

@@mandyharewood886 It hasn't ended yet. "Never-ending" is probably too pessimistic.

well said. And to think that Boris removed the whip from decent people like Dominic Grieve.

Then, when the House of Commons, Tory Majority scrutiny committee told him - we have you BANG to rights you lying Tory toad....30 days suspension, he gobbled like a Turkey & threw his toys right out of the pram...this is a git with 8 children!!...& went off to Daily Fail & G.B.Sewage...without taking any responsibility for his destroying of the UK as a credible nation anymore! Remember still, the UNelected criminal Sunak was there (in Govt) the WHOLE time, sneering, smirking & sniggering while people died...along with SCUM Blabberman, Ree - Smogg, Shapps & Gove.

Excerpt from ''War Is A Racket'' By Major General Smedley D. Butler:- WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes... How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle? Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill. And what is this bill? This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations. For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out..." - Maj Gen Smedley Butler

Imagine how you'll feel when you vote Labour and within 6 months of them winning you've realized how moronically stupid you were to believe their lies and the country gets worse.

Who have you voted for, and when?

I don't imagine tabloid readers feeling bad about anything. Either too thick, or too heartless.

You are making the assumption that they are capable of critical thinking my friend.

Most of them don't feel bad about it as they still do not know what they voted for, just ask them.

Sounds like trump

Not deporting economic migrants costs more in the long run.

And zero acknowledgment about the swathes of money wasted on HS2. Why couldn’t it be brought in on time and on budget?

I wonder what happens to all the land that was compulsory purchased for Hs2… hmm..

@@JamesOversteerthe land has already been sold as developable land, at a loss (which no one is talking about) so even if a future government wanted to proceed with the Manchester section of HS2 they won’t be able to without going through the CPO process again.

@@cyberhermit1222Migrants and their children add way more to the economy. Migrants usually have higher birth rates as well, so they’ll raise the overall birth rate of Britain which is an abysmal 1.45 births per woman. Way under what is needed to have a naturally growing population. So without migration, population would decline and the work force would shrink and Britains’s birth rates would sink even lower

America and Britain are essentially the same. The same arrogance, prejudice, entitlement, and racism. America was founded by religious fanatics, slavery proponents, and worse.

They don’t work for the people. In any economic system based on an explorative foundation, politicians work for the minority that benefit from it. Under slavery it’s slave owners, under feudalism its land owners, under capitalism it’s capital owners. Any system that separates work from ownership will have a class system and minority rule. Only way politicians will ever work for the people is if the economic system doesn’t have concentrated ownership and decision making.

(the world's largest finance/investment ) corporations effectively run (at LEAST) the English speaking world now. Their power will only increase...until financial/economic collapse/ruin occurs. That's the only way their grip will be loosened. Thanks to tory and its infantile infatuation with 'private profit', at the exclusion of ALL else, no mater how much destruction/death the 'monied set' delivers to everyone/everything else on Earth.

They should be but aren't unfortunately. Instead they are our masters with their Wealthy buddies who can dictate to us who we can fall in love with (no foreigners), where we go where we live, take away any financial freedom we once had. Turn us into slaves is the end goal.

Strictly speaking, he's probably a narcissist. See symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Psychopathy and narcissism are closely related, although BJ's behaviour ticks some specifically narcissistic traits, too. That said, some recent studies suggest that narcissism would be more accurately categorised as a type of psychopathy.

And we all know what narcissist with power does..only destruction

Yes I've gone through the checklist and compared it to Johnson. There is no doubt he is a psychopath.

Justifiably so...

People need to take action and become their own central bank and bet against the debt we have 1 percent of purchasing power left in the British pound fact get ready for a credit event that is going to make the LDI crisis look like a picnic James o'Brien has no idea what is really happening or does he wait until debt cards stop working and ATMs stop working which is going to happen guess what they'll have a solution cbdcs get any wealth outside the banking system banks are insolvent no deals no deposits and no loans

Change a leader from one stupid corrupt idiot to another just incompetent, clueless and nasty and a permanently broken declining country.

Britain was broken by blair and his middle class bunch of tossers who gave us a massive NHS management structure, a unjust illegal war, totally stupid HR BS that hindered growth and innovation, and maybe his worst folly, the opening of the borders to the failed multi cultural experiment that even his advisor on it said it was a massive mistake. The tories just did the same because to do a U turn would cause twats like O'Brien to throw their rattles out of the push chair.

Trauma can definitely be a collective thing!

Can I share my story with you? I put it in the main comments, but it feels important to reach out to someone who seems like a, “normal, reasonable,” human being, who might just get it? I feel the need for, “contact,” so to speak. So, please be patient, as I’ll make it as brief as possible: My trauma began when Covid was relatively new and still not properly understood, with completely clear guidance. In the midst of this, my dad who presented as otherwise a strong and fit 80 something, had a cluster of health issues, the most relevant to this story of which was a series of mini-strokes he’d suffered. He couldn’t make new memories, a bit like the hero in the Christopher Nolan film, Memento. He got Covid from the doctor who was treating him for a broken arm, from a fall. He got sick really fast, as so many did, and was soon surrounded by a battery of machines. The staffers who held up the phones and iPads, through which we communicated with him, were always too tired to hold it close enough or where we could see him for long enough to have a meaningful conversation. They were exhausted and rushed off their feet the whole time, making communication a nightmare. The painful bit: He repeatedly asked why his four kids were not with him and had to have it all newly explained to him, over and over, but it never took. He even asked for his wife, my mum, whom we’d buried years before. He died, isolated, confused by what seemed like a massive rejection to him, and alone; simply terrified and not understanding why he was alone. He died hard. I then had to get special permission to travel from Scotland to his funeral, at which there were no hugs, no meaningful physical reassurances, because of the rules. We all sat apart, etc. It was a long drive home. Exhausted and deeply sad, I made the mistake of putting on some news, to distract me from my own troubles and I literally said to my wife, “I need a reminder that others are in the same boat as us.” The first thing I saw was that female staffer, laughing about the drunken antics of Cabinet, while my family had just been through that . . . It is the first time in my life that I actually felt revolutionary rage, at a deep, visceral level. And it just kept getting worse from there. I saw how that collective trauma took root in our nation, because I knew that there were literally hundreds of thousands of grieving family members, friends and colleagues, all witnessing the government’s hypocrisy, callousness and then craven cowardice with their attempts at covering up, down playing and dismissing what they had done, again and again, as we learned. You’re right. The country needs a collective outcome: a collective consequence; collective justice for their collective betrayals. Not just one betrayal either. But repeated and systematic.

You are ill, seek help for your trauma.👍😂

I see James o Brien as a very moderate centrist. These days I think he'd be labelled as a part of the "looney left". The political system has become so polarised.

With VERY few exceptions the UK's 'client' news media is truly pathetic in its blatantly partisan output, an enthusiastic backer of ALL that gives to the rich, no matter WHAT the cost to everyone and everything else on Earth.

James O'Brien. He is Mr O'Brien

@@maneshipocrates2264 James O'Brien or Mr O'Brien..... Still leaves one total twat.

Truss did not 'do' anything she did not have time - the big money did things to make it look like she what she was going to do was wrong - but just think about that for a minute or two and then realise who is really in power.

@@jonharris1654 How grossly ignorant can a person be? Like most countries the UK depends upon literally hundreds of billions in market financing. If the people who provide that finance don't have confidence that the government is fiscally responsible they put the rates up due to perceived risks. If you cannot see that the financial institutions had no confidence in a right wing government mainly of their own people you didn't really understand the problems we have.

If you had watched the debt market which was melting down you would have seen what was going to happen wait for what is going to happen again meltdown in the debt market cash is going to move from the risk of assets stock markets and property and the bond market cash is going to move into risk off assets James o'Brien is not going to tell you the truth maybe he doesn't know what is really going to happen plz educate yourself about the financial system globally and how it works follow the herd and you will get hurt become your own central bank bet against the debt and you will be ok very simple

And the 2 or more % points added to borrowing as the market applied a moron premium to lending, stinging every mortgage holding home owner and every renter whose rent is not fixed.

Press reform is desperately, *desperately* needed. Plus getting rid of public schools and teaching children critical thinking.

The influence of media is over estimated. For instance, I have always found that people only buy newspapers that they agree with in the first place. In other words, people buy newspapers that reflect their point of view.

Sober? James O'Brien is a raging alcaholic just look at him

Leading up to and during COVID; nobody worked harder to keep the Tories in power

Piers Morgan did a lot to hold the government to account too, though it pains me to admit it. Even so, they have got away with most of it

Hey up Luke leading and during covid. ? Why have you picked those two ? Did Mr O’Brien behave differently at other times ? As you’re accusing him of helping the Tories , I’m curious as to what’s made you think this way ? Remember the song. ‘ don’t leave me this way “ please rid me of this bit of ignorance x

I agree that there is always some personal responsibility involved, but I think the rot starts from the top down. I’d say centuries of living under a monarchy, a deeply entrenched class system, decades of billionaire media propaganda and an underfunded society are far more to blame.

​@@robbailie5878I think that you are wrong in your assessment. James does tend to know more about the political situation and the events that led to it than his callers. His job does revolve around it, after all. Still, it is surprising, and kind of enjoyable, to listen to woefully unprepared callers, who are unable to explain the rationale for the decisions they took and the opinions they have. If you don't like dark people, or those 'not from around here' just say so. If you believe, without any supporting evidence, that severing economic ties with one of, if not, the largest economic blocs in the world, and that being outside of it gives us greater access and influence than being in it, say so.
