'I regret the hostile environment' Theresa May tells Andrew Marr | LBC 

White flight ?

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

....both major parties are culpable in that...where have you been...!!?

@@chatham43 Sure! both sides!! 🤣😂

@@chatham43the old “they’re all as bad as each other “ chestnut 😂

@@chatham43 have you an example of a labour policy that has politicised and made state policy of xenophobia to back up that statement?

@@chingadapistolero Labour set a series of conditions for accepting the May era withdrawal agreement that had been designed, presumably, so that they would not have to accept the withdrawal agreement. The agreement May negotiated *in fact met every single one of Labour's conditions*. And Labour then pretended it didn't and rejected it. Why? Presumably for tribal political differentiation. It wasn't exactly acting in the national interest, was it, most especially bearing in mind what happened next. And if you don't believe that, read the Irish Protocol from that time (which included the all-UK backstop). Literally everything Labour said was a condition -- no rollback on certain rights, environmental protections, etc, was written into it explicitly.

Well put

Well said 👍

British Citzens died in Jamaica under her policies In a country they did not know and with no living relatives I give a fig for her apologies!

She deported the Windrush elderly grandpa. The Grenfell fire on her watch, she didn't do anything to help. Evil woman!

@@geezalee1677 her hostile environment shut down the nhs walk in centres to deprive johny foreigner of access to healthcare the fact that brits could have used those facilities was just a bonus!

That's easy to do since all who have come since are the dregs of the barrel.

I would not say that she was at all competent, ever.

Totally incompetent. Worst pm ever for the uk

@@malcky630 Agree completely.

Was she? You have some twisted notions of competebce

Indeed can't imagine why her book is of interest to anyone.

Yep - and doesn't have a conservative bone in her body. She was fully signed up to the Blairite project.

Yes have nice pic

Don't they all! And once they leave Parliament all the money and accolades that come their way: rewards for all their failures. 😐

am sorry to say your absolutely right

Me and my wife were on the same track. It's so painful. As soon as my wife gained citizenship we looked for work opportunities in her home country. We left the UK last year. We now make triple what we did in the UK and own property for the first time. I felt unwelcome in my own country because of how we were treated by the immigration system. Best of luck with your immigration journey.

@@LordBillington42 well done on taking the leap wishing you a peaceful and prosperous future!

Exactly - I've seen friends turn their back on the UK due to this. I just hope Scotland gets independence so that there is a way to avoid institutional racism

and 37bn for a spreadsheet that didnt work. which now counts as NHS budget even tho it went to private hands.

Paying for votes

Exactly. Trying to rewrite history. The only reason she isn’t hated is because she has been outdone by Boris, Suella, Priti Patel, JRM, and Lizzy Truss

hear hear@@chichim2020

Her only achievement is being an even worse PM than Cameron

​@@chichim2020she was the template for Patel and Braverman!

Migration is at an all time high. 200k per year. So how is this xenophobia exactly?

and lets not forget all the nice contracts she passed to her hubbie's companies.

Totally agreed.

Brexit means Brexit 🤪😂

@@Anri6547 But, what does "Brexit" mean?

@@reaceness british exceptionalism, ignorance and xenofobia but for me as a non brit brexit means entertaiment 😅 its sad but true :P

He's a tory who participated in why we are in this mess.

Because they both share the political ideology. They are both Blairites.

@@alphabetaxenonzzzcat You mean they both believe in investing more in public services and reduce NHS waiting lists? I hadn't realised that May was such a decent person.

@@frogandspanner No - I meant they believe in radically reworking all of the institutions of the UK - like what Blair did : legal system, education, devolution(why was I think intended to facilitate the break-up of the UK). A bourgeoise view of the UK, which despises its past heritage and culture.

@@alphabetaxenonzzzcat Why do you say "despises"? The past is useful only insomuch as it benefits the future, so flag-waving obeyance is a foolish political device - the kind that the far right think we should follow.

Told them that they were reducing the investment and the amount of officers by what number...? 20,000... She told the MET to do "MORE WITH LESS".... Disgraceful! Now they're desperately trying to recruit the same amount of officers even though way more are resigning...

You could have another 100,000 police and the problems would persist because for the last number of decades the police have vacated their number one priority of preventing crime through street visibility. Instead, they prefer to be glorified fire fighters and social workers sitting behind computers screens and within station walls.

Yes we need to keep banging the drum on this. I hate way the government swept this under the rug.

@@AOK342 What would change if you know for sure that the Brits have been skewered by their own rulers and sold to Russia instead of just knowing?

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Are you really asking about the impact of knowing whether the Russian ran a massive disinformation campaign to sway a very close vote in favour or leave would have. The government knew people would re-open the debate and call for a second referendum but the cowards buried the report instead of seeking the truth and doing the right thing.

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Legal action against any UK politician who facilitated or was aware of this, possibly, treasonous act of sedition, perhaps?

Wheres the proof?

Of course not, but then neither would she.

Given Johnson's notoriety for mendacity both inside and outside Parliament the answer should've come easily to her.

There all lies wake up

Yes and pigs may fly!!! Boris is a continuous liar problem is he believes what he says is true, so it’s a hard one!!!!!!

Yup! She's been looking like the last Tory PM since 2019

Exactly! Very well said.

Whilst I agree with you, it is worrying that the fact that she is the most recent PM that actually seems competant is making people forget how horrendous her and her government actually were.

@@BadgerBoy59 Precisely! She was competent evil, as opposed to the incompetent evil that was Johnson, the incompetent crazy that was Truss, and the incompetent banality that is Sunak.

​​@@donmac7780 Truss's policies were so sociopathically libertarian, even the City Boys thought they were unworkable. Incompetent evil.

Totally agree. That guy is a total weasel and it shows it wasn't all Dom Cummings that was behind those ideas.

Mogg is a eel but more slippery..A nasty,greedy and very untrustworthy character..

Its now not a safe country for the Brits

Exactly.

Boris would, regardless, people voted for Boris, massively, remember? Not invoking Article 50 would never have happened.

Especially when it was a split vote there was no majority.

Exactly. In 1979 there was a Scottish Independence referendum and they voted for Independence by 51.6% to 48.4%. This was deemed to thin a victory to act apon.

It was the will of the European Research Group and the Tufton Street mafia...

"Red, white and blue Brexit", no less!

It took a whole year to send it. And then she had an election which created a hung parliament..

strong and stable. haha that was one.

Yep, she owns the hostile environment hate speech and consequent policy

From the time that the Conservatives came into power in coalition withe the Liberal Democrats a campaign was launched by Government vilify those on Social Security. I'm hoping a new Labour Government will come in with new policies that recognise that work is inappropriate for many people with serious health conditions, be caring and compassionate towards them and generous with financial support.

@@stephenwabaxter I hope too, but I think that it's like hoping for a miracle.

correct Bernard

Well said.

Yes, it's a pathetic attempt at rehabilitating her image. That lady is for turning!

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Was? She's not dead yet.

Your arguements are largely muted here. Im 2nd generation Windrush. So I dont need to repeat decades of Tory strategy to target anyone who is not white. And from England. Because they target scots and anybody else who isnt middle class shire white.

Wrong. They had to wait for their immigration papers like every immigrant does in any country.

@@ccr10833 dont talk like you know whats happened in my community, they were never immigrants they came here under the British empire as british citizens. Wally!

You know that's not true

Well the folks that voted for it didn't either

@@danw5760 Do we? Because the observable evidence clearly backs that up. The Brexit ref was driven by hostility, division, & blatant bs.

@@danw5760, Tell that to Farage.

@@johnrussell3961 you lied mate, you're not a net positive with your dishonest rhetoric, so please don't take a high horse

The impossible is easy Miracles take a lot longer

He should have gone there and tried to integrate. If you don't make an effort, you don't win

Yes, windrush victims having citizenship revoked is all down to her.

​@@stevejones2310More tea please?

@@chrisj9700 The files were destroyed in October 2010 when Theresa May was home secretary  Windrush arrivals embark on a new life in UK - archive photos Read more A person’s arrival . A person’s arrival

@@chrisj9700 because labour werent intending to kick them out maybe?

...but you think you do...?

@@chatham43 the only thing important to you is what you think I gather. So why are you here?

It was the ERG.

It was May's idiotic red lines.

And she ain't one of those

May could have done a Heseltine. Storm out of Downing Street, declaring Cameron’s plotting with UKIP to take us of the EU.. But she didn’t.

​@@johnrussell3961She was a remainer until the PM title cane ahead of her name

Blair was the only one with vision

@@falconeshield she may have been a remainder but she was ineffective as PM and tried to under mine the speaker bercow and parliament

@@grtcara8386 Blair was a red tory! And continued thatchers vision all useless and in it for themselves Blair foundation £200 million His personal wealth £20 + million! Say’s it’s all

Absolutely right!

Well said insightful observation

And I think it’s reasonable to speculate that it was May’s high-handed attitude in 2016-17 that made remainers so implacably opposed to her in 2017-19. It certainly was in my case.

rather listen to that arch Tory Ian Pain than listen to her lying! And Marr

She was a stepping stone to where we are now, let her not forget it!

That's because the woman does not have a soul. Having empathy needs a soul, how did anyone ever believe that the person who created the Windrush Scandal would do anything to help the victims of the Grenfell disaster.

Being rehoused would be nice.

there should have been a 10% swing or something built in so we dont have massive upheaval for a tiny majority. also things needed planning and costing FIRST.

That would have been my question if i was Marr. Was Boris corrupt or incompetent?

@@PaulStargasm Your phrasing of the question precludes the possibility that he was both of those things...

The flatbeds were actually approved under Labour and she didn't know it was happening. This came out because Labour made the mistake of raising them in Parliament, only for it to be pointed out that that it was Labour who ordered them(!).

Well said

...and you compound it...!

Tories love voters with very short memories as they tend to vote Tory.

I think my surprisingly warm impression is down to the hellscspe we have now. I'd cry tears of joy for John Major back. Whereas at the time!

​@@ganrimmonimJohn Smith was the PM the country deserved. His mastery of language is impeccable even after 1994

Stop crying wolf May. You were a terrible Home Secretary and an even worse prime minister. Do one!

A Low bar to surmount. Windrush victims had citizenship revoked by May

Ye Gods. That's a bit like saying Fred West wasn't quite as bad as Myra Hindley...

She's got a book she needs to publicise.

​@@mt508Why is it always like that

But why at this late stage does she regret, to wonder if that apparent regret has anything to do with an image in need of polishing.

​@@Coelacanth1indeed

I think politicians are often different when they aren't in cabinet where they are supposed to present a united front. She's still in parliament, but she doesn't have the same responsibilities. I voted to remain, but I think her plan was better. She said there shouldn't be a border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and she stuck to it. Boris Johnson said the same thing but went back on it when it suited him. It's worth remembering that Boris backed a second referendum, if we voted to leave the EU, to vote on any deal. He did this before the first referendum.
