Jeremy Clarkson on Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn, socialism and the General Election 

‘Oh there not on straight’ Makes them wonkier 😂

Yes, isn't it a shame that bullies always pick on things like appearances of their victims, because they're just not clever enough to do anything else! Apart from thumping them occasionally of course

@Mrs. Edna Welthorpe my comment is aimed solely at the idiot Clarkson, you would be ill-advised to read anything else into it.

@Mrs. Edna Welthorpe why on earth do you arrive at that conclusion? You have absolutely no knowledge of me whatsoever. I object strongly to a childish bully behaving as if he is still in the school playground, whilst being adored by millions of people. I can assure you that I would object to his bully boy tactics regardless of who they were directed towards.

@but ton well, I can remember decimalisation and the 3 day week, is that the generation you're thinking of? I am vehemently opposed to bullying, what more can I say, are you defending it?

@Mrs. Edna Welthorpe I started work in 1978, the lowest tax rate then was 33%, and the NI contributions were also quite sizable. I would come out with about £16 from my £28 wages each week. I can't recall what the Labour government of the time wasted it on, but I am pretty sure that they wasted it. It looked like socialism, it sounded like socialism, and it smelled like socialism, I wonder what it could have been?

@Teresa Watts We have a defunct federal government but we also have 3 regional government. One for Brussels, a Flemish (Dutch speaking region) and a Walloon (French speaking region) parliament and government. The Flemish region voted center right to "extreme" right and the Waloons and Brussels voted socialist and communist. This trend is becomming more extreme every election so it becomes near impossible to form a federal government. But since we don't have a federal government they can 't make decisisions on a federal level or international level like EU or UN climate agreements. They also can 't spend3 extra money or go over budget.😁

@Teresa Watts Belgium has actually 6 parliaments and governments. Next to the three regional and the federal government we have also so called "community's" with their own parliament, a community for the French, Dutch and German speaking citizens. We have 482 MP's for a population of a mere 11 milion, that's more as in Germany, France or the UK. Belgium is an artificial country created by the Uk and France in 1830, it should have long being dissolved just like the former Yugoslavia or Czecho-Slovakia.

@Teresa Watts Indeed, EU member state governments have limited power anyways because they have to follow EU legislation on key issues like budget or immigration.

@Teresa Watts in fairness, pretty much comparable to town/city, county councils, and the devolved parliaments (Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) in the UK.

At least you got good chocolate and beer. 😊😊😊 I find you guys should get rid of all your super expensive governments. The flemish, the wallons, Brussels, the German part, the national one + all the local ones. Belgium is way smaller than Tokyo or Shanghai and they have only one mayor. Look at the Netherlands they have one government. Just imagine the amount of money they save compared to you guys!

trident3b - all parties agreed to it as a national referendum, paid and signed off. No party ever said it was advisory and would be honoured. As true to a politically binding vote as you can get. You can’t weasel your way out of a decision you don’t like.

Justin Time - you won’t get an answer, these people only respect democracy when it goes their way!

trident3b - Wow... I could only laugh whilst reading this little temper tantrum of yours, yet you call me childish! Seriously a bit of self-reflection wouldn’t go amiss for you right now. All that venom and for what? I said you’re weaselling? I stand by that statement. My god if you went off the rails just because of that then good job I didn’t say anything harsher, there might have been a killing spree! In all seriousness the arrogance on display is something to behold. “It’s only advisory” and “but you cheated!”... fucking pathetic, man. We’ve had nothing but scaremongering, insults, threats, and an undermining of our democracy by remainers for the past three years, yet you complain about playing a bit loose with the truth?! Get over yourself, both sides did. Let me break this down for you: The referendum was politically binding because EVERY PARTY said they’d honour the result. The referendum was a form of direct democracy; the decision was removed from parliament by law and given to the voting public to decide on the matter of our relationship with the European Union. As I said it is a politically binding result and a direct mandate by the majority to enact the decision. Any attempt to undo or undermine that decision is immoral, undemocratic and a failure to uphold their responsibilities and obligations to the Voters. The EU elections was a landslide for the Brexit Party, and now Boris won a landslide on the sole election promise to deliver our withdrawal from the EU. There is a clear mandate for this now... how many times must you people be told before you get the message? For millions on both sides of this debate (I voted remain btw) the result was and still is binding, there were clear promises made at the time, written in both major party manifestos to honour it. Sorry but remain lost, leave won, that’s it. Finished, end of story. It is Christmas Day and I don’t want to finish with animosity, even if I started this with some. So I sincerely wish you and your family a happy Christmas.

trident3b - you can’t argue because I am right, it’s why you reverted straight to patronising insults rather than actually arguing what is essentially an argument you cannot win. Whether or not you believe the referendum was only “advisory” is irrelevant, but let’s face it if the result was reversed you wouldn’t be arguing that it was “only advisory” in the face of a backlash would you? As I’ve already stated it was said to be honoured, it was written in the party manifestos that it will be honoured, and we just had an election with one party solely dedicating to honouring the referendum. That is irrefutable and well documented. IF the party’s and those running the campaign said explicitly that it’s only advisory then you’d have a leg to stand on, BUT they explicitly said the opposite and wrote it into their party manifestos. Sorry! What I said is exactly what it is. What is interesting is that you haven’t even bothered to try and prove me wrong; simply saying I’m wrong without proving yourself right is utterly meaningless. Instead all I had was insults, patronisation and spite. Some people are just sore losers I guess, just like the spineless cowards who have tried for three years to undermine the most important democratic vote in the history of the country. Oh? And what type is that then? You don’t even know me 😂. I’m mean seriously if you don’t live here then you have no right to say anything on the matter do you? I’d sure would like to borrow that magical crystal ball you have since you - and only you - can possibly see what is coming! What an arrogant twat you are! The UK will be perfectly fine and dandy thank you very much. It will be better off outside a draconian, isolationist protective bloc that lurches from recession to recession, that leaves its member states desolated to fill Germany’s coffers. In short the EU is pretty much screwed either way. Britain, however can forge its own path, free from EU red tape and overbearing bureaucracy. That’s what counts ultimately. Also I’d suggest you live by that quote yourself before quoting to me or anyone else.

@Emil Mekhtiev Some good and interesting points. The tories have been spending massively even before covid, but theres already talks about reducing the furlough scheme and I wouldnt be suprised if more follows. Before covid the tories had spent more than labour had planned, potentially positive; however as they are keen on saying it's where it goes. We havent seen any improvements in living standards and no real news about good things to come, granted it is early days but there still hasnt been any change. Brexit say-what-you-will will cause major economic setbacks, and the tory plan on a fairly hard brexit will be disasterous to both the economy and the union, not to mention the environemental, workers rights and animal rights legislation that will be lost. Blair (though widely critisiced by many on the left and myself) achieved an economic growth of 2.8%, whilst tories since 2010 have a mean of 1.87%, and a good amount of that is from the recovery from the 2008 economic crash. All in all whilst you do make some interesting and valid points I would have to respectfully disagree.

Sorry another point is that the Labour 2.8% is in spite of the economic crash at the end of their time in government, and the tories 1.87% benefits from the global recovery from the crash

The bigger the government is, the more corruption and waste of tax payers' money it causes.

No. I fell for that argument before. It's not just a question of big or small. It's efficient or inefficient. Big govts are ok if it's efficient. Small and inefficient govt is probably the worst of all. Small govt. means lots of services are privatized. Privatization requires regulation.But small govt, can't even regulate, so they say leave it to the free market to decide. This in the end results in spiraling costs. This gets worse when there are not enough players in the market for a given sector. This leads to monopoly and prices are skewed to not favor the consumers. We need to look at how govts are run not to simply shrink it. The people should view the govt. as its advocate in order to keep businesses in check.

Yes ignore the failure of Corbyn-style Socialism in the UK and other countries. It will "definitely be different this time" (TM)

CCDR07 yet socialism is still a rediculous concept that never works

@Roy I apologize for sounding arrogant in my dismissal of Clarkson's political opinions. You're right, he is likely just as knowledgable as me about life and politics in the UK, however, he is using strongly worded opinions about the failure of labour policy, both without discussing labour policy, or making arguements about why/how they might fail other than pointing out the struggles of post colonial countries in South America (and making fun of Corbyn's glasses). So I question what the similarities are between Labour policy and South American "socialist" governments, and I question why Labour policies must fail? Neither is obvious to me, but I want to know why people think so. Collective rights must be balanced against individual rights. Go to far to one side or the other and it seems to lead to tyranny, of which there are historical examples on both sides. However, policies like Labour's tax reforms targetting the top 5%, or 2%, or 1%, or the super rich, or whatever, to fund government spending on universal social programs/institutions has nothing to do with getting rid of a market-based economy, and everything to do with decreasing the economic privilege inherrent to large wealth inequalty. Tax reforms like these puts wealth into democratic control, whereas economic "freedom" from taxation as some call it (or economic "tyranny" as others call it), enables the desires of the wealthy to be imposed over the needs of the many. Tax funded social programs don't even imply big government per se, just re-allocated resources that can go toward the collective good, rather than concentrated among the wealthy few. I think good arguments can also be made for nationalization of certain public services that are necessary for citizens to participate socio-economically (e.g. education, healthcare, insurance, rail transport, utilities, etc.), examples of which can be found in many western countries. For example, Scandinavian countries generally have well-funded nationalized social institutions, which receive funding in-part through high corporate and income tax rates. These countries also come out low on wealth inequality indices, high on standard of living indices, and high on reported happiness indices. One term I've heard this style of governance referred to as is democratic socialism, and it seems to work well for its citizens. This is an intersting talk describing some of the mechanism (related to unions) at work here: www.ted.com/talks/harald_eia_where_in_the_world_is_it_easiest_to_get_rich/transcript?language=en Unfortunately, I think that there is a missing link in that powerful actors like multinationals can play countries off each other by laying economic siege to non-cooperative governements (which I would argue is largely why south american "socialist" governments have struggled). For example, the OECD reports that corporate tax rates have been falling for the last 20 years for the large majority of the 88 countries studied ( www.oecd.org/tax/tax-policy/corporate-tax-statistics-database-first-edition.pdf ). These countries are competing against each other for investment, and collectively are experiencing the proverbial race to the bottom, while corporate wealth continues to grow without precedent. Therefore, nation-states desperately need a collective mechanism to prevent powerful actors, such as multinationals, from economically laying siege /starving uncooperative countries in favour of others, forcing them all to play ball the way multinationals want. So, there is a good argument that some kind of overarching global democratic structure is necessary to accomplish this, otherwise we're left with lower corporate tax rates and multi-lateral trade agreements heavily influenced by big business that restricts the ability of countires to impose environmental protections, workers rights protection, etc. Wow, did a google reverse image search from your profile, and found that you're Roy from the IT crowd. And you responded to my youtube comment, sweet.

@@CCDR07 TLDR: Socialism is good by making ppl equal. All socialisms problems are the result of capitalism. Problem is fella that the super rich cant be taxed to high heaven. They have the money to go live in a tax friendly nation. When socialism overpromises spending it always twists the middle class for tax. And to be frank the middle is sick of paying for policies they will never benefit from and are mostly harmed by. "Equality" is doing whats best for you and your family then having everything you worked for ground into dust in the name of fairness for people who are aroused by the politics of envy. If you like socialism, please go live somewhere it is currently implemented. Dont make the UK into yet another failed experiment.

That’s the lie my parents generation were sold to get them to vote to join. They were told specifically it wasn’t a political union. This generation has now voted massively to leave. Go figure!

You're so very right in what you say !

Here here !

Simon Morris I am one of that generation. I voted to join a common market that weasel politicians subsequently turned into something else, with treaties we never got to vote on. Europe is far too disparate to become a united union. Even the USA has more freedoms with its federal model and individual states make many of their own laws. If we were still a common market I’d want to be part of it. As it is, I voted to leave... because the EU is not what I voted to join in the first place.

I love Slovakia! Beautiful country and thanks to Schengen we can travel freely to enjoy your splendid nature.

There are more options than just NHS Vs The American System. Socialist health care is rubbish.

Those are both terrible systems. Much better to have a privately run but free at the point of use health system. Less wasteful than the NHS and makes sure everyone gets treatment unlike in the US.

Actually, the American health care system does work. In some ways better than ours. Their doctors are of much better quality for one. Stop regurgitating the crap you read in the news.

Litreally the heads of those governments tell people to stop calling them socialist. They are free market economy

Lol Scandinavian countries aren’t socialist, they are market economies with slightly more public safety nets than the average country. The only truly socialist countries left in the world today are Venezuela and North Korea, since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the communist party of China allowed for (albeit small) market reforms in the 90’s.

You really do need to read these comments. None of the Scandinavian countries are socialist. They have some social programmes (just as the UK does) but social programmes does NOT a socialist country make. You could do with listening to ill-informed sound bites less and educating yourself more.

Cost of living very high 🤔

Totally agree. I dumped telly about 17 yrs ago. It's like a slow motion revelation. Clarkson? Arse! Socialism bad, he says. Public roads. Socialism. Public water supply. Socialism. Free education; socialism. NHS; socialism.... yes. Even the roads he drives on. Still an arse!

@@boomerrob9223 Roads are a good example, compare the quality of 'social' roads to the private toll roads such as the M6 section, there's no comparison, public roads are full of pot holes, poorly constructed and hardly ever flat these days. Socialism provides at a base level, but without competition there's little drive for improvement and you're stuck with what you get.

@@MrSamoDude but what if every road was privately funded and operated? Would you pay for that? And the other question, what about people who'd be put off the road because they couldn't afford to drive anymore? They'd have to use public transport, oh no, that sounds very socialist to me, can't be having that. Also, private operators are purely profit driven. If your village is too small and there's not enough money in it, no road for you. So yes, on the one side you'd have a few gold-plated roads, actually, you wouldn't. Doesn't Britain have privatised railways? Do you have affordable luxury trains that run on time? Palaces on wheels where lackeys hand you cocktails whilst you recline on comfy sofas? So, take the way your trains run and transfer that to the road. You do need public infrastructure, privatising everything doesn't work either.

@@jochenstacker7448 Trains are privatised in the UK but not the railway infrastructure. Though for the standard commuter there's no competition, it's train A on track A or no train at all! I don't think trains should be privatised unless there's multiple companies running on the same track to generate competition. Roads are still paid for whether the money comes from private or public funds, technically it would be no different to water, electricity, phone lines, etc.
