Kwasi Kwarteng refuses to apologise over his time in office 

What law makes a budget statement in Parliament an imprisonable offence? Be specific. Or better yet, refrain from antidemocratic populist ranting.

It was devastating to people invested in fixed interest in the UK. These are supposed to be defensive assets and people got slammed, many of them near retirement. Terrible blunder by the Truss government.

But it wasn't negligence, it was an actual approved plan

About time for a class action lawsuit like Credit Suisse investors officially filed againstSwiss Gov for 5 trillion losses

Apparently he had a meeting with his banker buddies before buggering Britain. Now suppose they all then knew that the pound was going to crash, and shorted? Wouldn't that make him guilty of something somewhat worse than negligence?

Lock them both up!

I'm fucking howling at this

Please dont look at the video's when you repair it!!

I watched a bead of sweat go from temple to under the chin !

​@@MrUkbeats 😂😂😂😂

Haha😂

That's how the nazis started.

True!!!

Loyal to hedgefunds... They made a killing during his tenure

@@adrian19831983 you reckon kwarteng is a nazi?👀👀

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who heard that. The duty of an MP is not loyalty, it’s service. They should serve on behalf of the British public. Sadly that ideal is becoming more and more removed from their thinking.

@Gill Munchen arrogance brown of a black of self awareness.

@@mr.thegreat557 That's gross guys. Focus on the issues.

@@TheySavedSoldeedsBrain It's gross and inappropriate, but it did make me laugh (and I've suffered from quite serious racism, myself).

@@pineapplepenumbra it’s just a joke, didn’t mean any harm. I’m glad you found it funny.

@@mr.thegreat557 No worries, some people can be a bit insensitive and others overly sensitive. I rewatched an episode of a series called "Mind Your Language" (I don't know if you know it?) and the Pakistani bloke wanted to marry the Chinese woman in the programme. The Indian (they were always at each others' throats) said: "But if you have a baby, it will be Pakinese!" Which I thought was hilarious, and I'm half Pakistani. I doubt anywhere will be reshowing that programme, it was full of racial stereotypes.

Hello Geezer you’ve reminded me of a caller to James O’Brien about the various types of skin colour in the Conservative Cabinet , The caller first mentioned that his skin colour was of the dark variety , then said how aware he was of the uncommonly large amount of dark faces gathered around the Prime Minister , He finished off saying ‘ it’s no better getting beaten up by someone that looks like you “

@@colinstephenson5386 And you remind me of Tory fan bois who try deflection all the time. The Brexitory party despite all the window dressing is still the party of privilege.

That's the same in very country how many us presidents went to The Ivy Leauge ? Or the number of French presidents who went to Sicence Po

So much sweat, his specs kept slipping down his nose. Not a comfortable guy.

and a heavy dose of Dunning-Kruger.

But what about Kwasi ?

Dunning-Kwasi as he sees it

Kamikwazi surely?

@@Dungshoveleux 😂

Wealthy Kwasi, forever getting away with it by simply denying it

Like the melting of new supposedly WEF hired Twitter CEO.. they really think nobody would ever raise that merit subject. The loons vanity is incredible

Kwasimodo! Good one!

The exact opposite of Prince Andrew😅😅😅

I believe he has apologised already in previous interviews

@@KJ-js7pi But not for the huge increase in the mortgage rate?

@@Mike_5 not because of him or truss as they say, it doesn’t make any sense. Interest rates were going up due to inflation but obviously the mini budget didn’t help at all but it’s far from fact that its all because of truss and kwasi. Accusers of Lizz and Kawsi are either pack of liers or do not know what’s going on, I do not believe the latter.

​@@unknown_name_389cut taxes for the rich and tried to borrow to cover the difference, spooked the debt markets, forced the BoE to buy Govt Bonds to shore up the market and almost wiped out the pension funds. Fortunately for the hedgefunds, Kwasi went to a party at the home of Crispin Odey that they were attending and gave them a heads-up to his plan... They made £millions if not £billions.

​@@unknown_name_389Basing Tax Cuts on hypothetical growth (i.e. unfunded) caused the bond market to collapse which caused massive financial turmoil resulting in interest rates rising due to a loss of confidence in the UK, resulting in higher mortgage rates for the UK

There you have it. A muppet mimicking a muppet. Similar outcomes too,

posh guy with a deep voice

@@rhyscarter2797 I know quite a few "posh guys" with deep voices. They aren't sociopaths or liars.

They've both got the Etonian accent

@@loopwithers I was commenting on the sound of their voice nothing more, but I agree

one of the funniest moments in politics

Not when it's not illegal you dont.

When a meme became the headline of a chapter in the history book.

To the Tower

He is a lying corrupt hypocritical criminal, who in a real democracy would undoubtedly be jailed for his criminal activities against the people he’s supposed to be serving.

If you think so, take your boxes of evidence to the CPS.

Doug, as much as you would enjoy criminalising people who have a different opinion, a budget proposal in Parliament is not treason. See the 2014 Guardian article Treason Act: the facts.

💯 %👍

Unfortunately, what no one ever says, maybe because it is not PC, is why should those buying debt ( which is what a mortgage is) get it cheaply at the expense of paying little to those they are borrowing from ( those prudent enough to save)

@@patriciafagan56 banks don’t really fund mortgage lending through savers’ deposits. They just create credit. Probably better to point the finger at house price increases relative to incomes, the slowdown in building of affordable housing since 2015 and the imprudent/predatory lending of banks. Most of this is a legacy of the finance led growth model since 1980s.

@@patriciafagan56 Excellent point Patricia! These C4-watching complainers go on ad nauseam about mortgages. The left is now dominated by Islington, not Islwyn.

damn! Its almost like... he knows he fucked up!

Prince Andrew

Bet he wished he was Prince Andrew...

The sign of a man who know's he's done nothing wrong

He could do with a stint in the Falklands

@@tabularasa7775 A classless response. Hey ASBO, solve your problems with debate, not threats!

His banker mates are probably nicer to him than that.

if they did it was dripping in sarcasm

He did try his best and the only real consequence of the resistance he met will be most of you lemmings becoming poorer since he left through into and over the next 5 years ☝️ Most of the 600+ comments under this video reveal most people do not understand what is going on economicallly and what Mr K RIGHTFULLY set out to do. Your true enemies do not look like Mr K - the attack on him and PM Truss was an attack on the poor and the middle classes. Also it seems many haven’t read the book both of them wrote. He is also correct that the interest rate rises has ZERO to do with his budget. The reporter here is typical Channel 4 - insulting the intelligence of the misinformed and the ignorant. Many will never understand what they lost when that right-on-the-money budget was shut down. In reality, the budget wasn’t even aggressive enough 🤷‍♂️ Anyways, people like me (council estate black dude coming up strong despite structural hostilities) will be fine - my salary has more than doubled since the mini budget, taxes into the five digits and still building a couple of businesses on the side 🤷‍♂️ I advise K to leave pathetic British politics and make his way and fortune in the private sector. British voters are too stupid to exercise their democratic rights for the betterment of the country. They’re also here making jokes and pointing fingers, while being teed up to suffer unprecedented economic harm 🤷‍♂️ Kwasi was on the money with his budget - those not seeing and understanding it will be very easy to spot over the coming 18-24 months 👈 The rest of us will get on with getting on, lobbying for reforms and policy efficiency changes that are conducive to national and personal growth and prosperity.

​@@b1ueoceanExcellent points. Thank you.

His mates had a party the day the pound tanked. L E G E N D

Nice analogy......two of the worst politicians in history (and there is pretty stiff competition out there) 😄🇬🇧

Should have given a good reason for staying, but you did not. Apologise for what?

@@dulls8475 ok let me expand your little mind. You currently have the worst inflation of any industrialized economy, you now have more food banks than McDonald’s, and as a Canadian, your energy prices make me want to cry. Even close nations (Canada and the US) refuse to negotiate trade agreements with you b/c post-brexit you have shown distant for international law obligations. The only agreement you have made post brexit is with Australia & everyone in the UK complains you guys gave away way to much in that… to an economy like 1/3 your size, why? Because the UK is desperate & has very little clout internationally now. Instead of being a strong voice in an extremely powerful international organization you are a weak voice on your own. No one to protect and defend you. No one to to share the burden with. I feel sorry for people like you who are unable to see the facts in front of their face daily.

@@dulls8475 agreed… it’s not leave voters’ fault that they were duped into voting for Brexit with promises of a better life and a better Britain and Northern Ireland. None of the electorate who voted leave in the referendum should be held to account, but they should certainly demand a better outcome than the one delivered by these tory charlatans.

Lockdown enthusiast will never apologize. 😊

Tories dont do responsibility.

No one ever expects .... The Ant-Growth Coalition!

You shouldn’t feel personally guilty no, but we should all feel the weight of our cultural history and ensure that we all learn from it and strive to not to allow the same mistakes to happen in the present and future. Just like Germans shouldn’t feel individual guilt for the Nazis but as a part of their cultural history they should as a nation strive to be leaders in promoting action to ensure the world never sees the like of such things again.

@@tomvandersteen5880 Well lets start by making the Italians feel guilty about the Romans.

@@dulls8475 time heals all ills.

@@dulls8475 Personally? No, but should they be aware of their cultural history and impact both negative and positive that it has had in the world? Yes. Although it’s probably considerably less relevant seeing as black slavery is within living memory and still exists in the world today.

In the summer salad.

Exactly 👏

Escalating disagreements into dehumanisation is dangerous. If you think that people in a different party are not human, what prevents you from violating their human rights? Also, if they know what you believe, what prevents them from violating your human rights defensively?

So delusional, he almost fell off his unicorn.

@@Jon.Morimoto thank you! I like homeless people too😂

What's so ugly in his qualifications? economics history is irrelevant, he should've gone full economics do you mean?

NGL, no one proper wants to work for the economics sectors of the government right now I suspect, because whoever is up next will get scapegoated by the imminent economic recession, which will cause this problem to be even worse, because the people who want to responsible for it don't even want to be in office, and the one in office cannot resolve the problem...

You're confusing C4 with good journalism. This video was made as clickbait to arouse the emotions of C4's leftwing audience. It has been successful in triggering that response. YT calls this audience engagement. Older people know it as populism or rabble-rousing.

This was clickbait for C4's leftist audience. And it worked!

Thank you for a serious and thoughtful comment. Many others here are outrage addicts seeking a big hit of what fills their short-term needs. Tension between a PM and Chancellor may actually be better for policy formation as ideas are challenged and refined.
