True, many managers at different business levels are lazy and oblivious to their staff's technical needs. Having worked in various tech system setups, I've encountered numerous clueless individuals, some with an Etonian background, who lack a clue about their oversight. Their consistent attitude of passive-aggressive disdain fosters obedience but hinders effective leadership.

That IS the best case scenario. the worst is when they interfere with and confuse the tasks at hand, employ or fire executives who may not agree with them but DID have some knowledge, and generally muddle and overspend and prosecute some disjointed version of their reality, until they leave for the next job, with a shining CV and no apparent consequence for their harm.

Spot on, technical skills are the foundation of a functioning society, the metropolitan elite believe they are better but offer little and build nothing

We used to have technical schools post 11. Plus secondary modern and grammar schools. The Tripartite system. Comprehensive schools put paid to that. Some decades ago the National Curriculum placed a lot of emphasis on STEM subjects to the detriment of Arts and Humanities. I cannot see how this helped when others were removing the industrial and engineering jobs overseas. Many children are not stimulated by in Design Tech classes when they are asked to design a Pizza Box. Page after page of crayoning in. I would have been bored too.

really? you think things are more dangerous then during WW1, during ww2, during the korean war, the cuban missile crisis, the cold war between US and Soviet Union. how about 26th september 1983. a date that isnt remembered well - but it is when the soviet defence system falsely believed it was being attacked. the world very nearly plunged itself into nuclear war. that was/would have been serious trouble

So what is "worse", a serious existential threat to you, or the complete loss of the "you" that could be threatened to begin with? If there is no longer any "you", there is no longer any possible threat of annihilation to "you". If there is no longer any nation to be annihilated, is that a good thing, because what isn't there cannot be threatened? Or is it bad, because it just means that the annihilation has already taken place while you weren't paying attention and now it's too late? Depends on whether you think what you have lost was worth keeping. Most people do not understand what being part of a nation and of a people used to do for them, or their parents and grandparents. This is one of those things that, unless you are unusually perceptive, you will only miss once they are gone.

Correct! During the "Great Panic" lots of British People who lost jobs and livelyhoods applied for fruit picking jobs to try to make ends meet. They were rejected, but the government ALLOWED 900 Romanian nationals to come into this country during lockdown to take those jobs. It's not that British People wont do those jobs, it's because the government prefer cheap, migrant labour. Absolutely criminal!

Correct

Aided and abetted by vanity higher education policies that encourage debt and delusion upon school leavers.

​@@R3tr0v1ru5The only things you would see would be more people living on the streets, soup kitchens and an increase in criminal activities. We would see adults and children starving. A break down in our fragile civilisation. What we wouldn't see would be a massive increase in low paid jobs. Because a lot of low paid jobs are hard work that many people physically are unable to do.

Emigrate or remain and be comprehensively abused

Yes. A revolution in learning to read and write!

Yes possibly. Why tho? If Labour get in then that’s democracy. Hopefully the ire of any revolutionary mob will be against the brexit charlatans who lied on a colossal scale about ‘opportunities’. And often these people (e.g Farage, 7 times failed parliamentary candidate) were in no position to promise anything.

What, through the likes of Tommy Robinson?

Exactly. Hitchens is blissfully unaware how bad things really are.

Language teaching starts far too late in Britain, IMO . It'd be most effective at nursery schools or in the home. When every child has a NannyBot(tm) this will be feasible.

I remember my first week at high school, a lad smashed a brick over another lads head. This was in 2005. It's nothing new.

My own view is that we don't really have an education system in this country. What we have is a state run baby-sitting system whereby the parents can both be wage-slaves and still produce the next generation of wage-slaves. Some children, of course, do get an education and others receive some level of training as they are naturally inclined to absorb certain types of teaching. Many, unfortunately, get neither. Perhaps in Germany you had an education system better tailored to how children are but that requires a better society altogether to start with. Ours is simply degenerating.

@@myla6135 👍👍👏👏

You can teach whatever you want, it’s the learning that counts, i.e. the acquisition of knowledge, information and skills, which produces a lasting change in thinking or behaviours. Our children are not taught or encouraged to think, thinking is dangerous, it promotes independence, when all we need is compliant fools to do as they’re told, people to join the workforce as perpetual slaves.

No vote = no voice you can not coplain or debate the next political agenda happy new year =🎂🍺

Reform, pal.

Certainly no party is perfect - far from it. But compare (without the propaganda cooked up by Right-wing media) where we were when the Tories came in. Public services, wealth distribution, GDP, whatever. On virtually every measure, it's clear what has happened in the last fourteen years. Now, imagine that you were put in power. Your goal is to damage the country. You can't use the military, you can't overthrow democracy. Try to imagine how you would do this yet still be able to get re-elected so you'll be in power for fourteen years. I want investment, regeneration, decent social provision, good economic growth. I know that none of this was perfect under the last Labour government, but it was for me a million times better than this asset-stripping lot. I'm voting because I know which party gave me treatment straight away when I had cancer, which party gave me a growing standard of living, gave me a clean environment. If the next Labour government does the same I will be more than grateful. I hope you will help to make that happen.

you would rather hobble bright children, how will that improve the lot of the working classes? I understand what you are saying, there is no reason that a intelligent person cannot be a plumber or carpenter, but it seems unlikely that the very brightest would be best put on that route (intellect is not an on/off switch, but a scale).

@@TB-us7el You've missed the point completely and you are putting words into my mouth. Next you extrapolate a whole theory from what I haven't said. The whole reason that the UK, unlike Its European counterparts, has such a skills shortage is precisely that everyone is brainwashed to believe that if they are not academic then they are second- class citizens. It feeds directly into the English class system which has never gone away. The fact that you say that anything less than an academic background will ' hobble' them is a case in point. Even though I didn't attend a music college I had a successful career as a musician alongside being a carpenter and light engineer I did bits and pieces. I educated myself through sheer curiosity. My ' cleverness' was not certificated. In a ' grammar stream' of secondary school I was consistently near the bottom after being third in primary and passing the eleven- plus. I was never allowed to do woodwork or metalwork as it was considered ' below' me. Consequently I left school with one GCE O level. Is it any wonder that there is so much animosity and misunderstanding between those of different occupations?

@@seriousoldman8997 did you miss my question mark? Take a breath. Next, not sure what your unfortunate situation has to do with what I'm saying. Could it be that those who want to do woodworking and such should be encouraged and those who do not shouldn't? The school system has changed dramatically since you left, so I think you might be tilting at windmills. A return of grammars needn't mean they are precisely as they were in the past.

‘Bright’ does mean academic prowess though so I don’t really see your problem with what he said. I would not call a plumber or an electrician ‘bright’. I would call them ‘highly skilled’ or ‘technical expert.’

She's Don Lemon in a dress

It's not so simple. When you have first past the post, what you will get is a wedge. When you have a winner takes all political system in general - it's very easy to see everything argued over more and more niche issues leading to a large scale disenfranchisement of many people. I mean, if you think about a 60% voter turn out, and 40% of the vote ends up with a majority government, what you really have is 24% of the population effectively voting in a majority government that does not represent the population. And yet, because of what we are taught: We are told it does. Ideally people would know that there is a "These options don't represent my views" - and that would be glorious. But few people are going to willingly put that on a ballot as it fundamentally means parties HAVE to at LEAST pay lip service to the majority view, which tends to be very centrist. And that would undermine the current status quo power system.

Demons aren't real.

Of the 13 parties who have enquired to rent my property in Portsmouth, 9 were foreign immigrants on benefits because they were unemployed. All claimed the British state was happy to pay their rent. Why do we do this? Why is a Tory government so keen on this?

that is because more than 50% of them are students and are not allowed to work; they are paying customers which keep the British University system afloat; if you don't like foreigners supporting the UK economy, you must also prohibit tourism

@@funnythat9956 Oh, that's interesting. I'm glad you've turned up as I think you're going to be able to handle the next few starter questions. If more than 50% of that 2 million are students, that makes it true that over 1 million came to study in the U.K. over the last five years. So, my questions to you: 1) How many dependents did they bring? 2) How much did it cost to educate each child? (I think it's circa £6,000 per head in the U.K.). 3) What about healthcare costs? 4) Are you still sure, once the costs are subtracted from the fees, that these paying customers are supporting the U.K. economy. 5) How many of them study at Russell Group universities? 6) How many return after their studies and how many opt to stay here with their families because of the loop hole that allows them to do so? 7) Why do U.K. universities suddenly need millions of foreign students in order to stay afloat after centuries of sustainment mostly teaching the U.K. population?

Why? How often can you listen to someone say "EVERYTHING IS RUINED, THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, IF ONLY EVERYONE LISTENED TO ME WHEN I TOLD THEM THIS WOULD HAPPEN" Though admittedly, he just asserts he made these predictions, he didnt write them down anywhere.

I only wish he would move his lips and enunciate more so he would lose that 'Prince Andrew' drawl.

To pessimistic he thinks there's no hope for the country, he could be right and he doesn't support strong man leaders probably the only thing that could save the country.

I agree that he’s worth listening to, but his manner is often so nippy to whoever he’s talking to. The tone of voice uses to speak to people is unpleasant and rude imo.

The influence and gradual takeover by boidies such as the WEF, WHO etc. Even the EU is part of the steady movement towards a World Union. 2. His dismissal of Farage and Trump. He doesn't seem to have grasped the fact that we need Nationlism because it is not only the complete opposite of Globalism, it is the antidote.

100%. The UK failed on Brexit and on everything for that matter due to their over reliance on financial services. They ignored the rest of the UK just to bolster London.

I like Hitchens but he is very wrong on Trump....

How so?

Agreed. Who else is going to turn the US round?@@orionxtc1119

Unfortunately that does not include Civil Servants.

@@whatsMyNameAgainAgain I never implied that the UK was just England. Of course in the North, Scotland and Wales there’s pockets of affluence.

He doesn't have an uppity, leftist kid in front of him, harping on about drugs this time

If any politician is truly on the left, then they wouldn't be 'in hoc to global financiers and the tyranny of corporatism' as you put it.

This is just scapegoating - very lazy economic thinking. What you don't get is that new technology does not require huge volumes of humans. Currently. Gvts - but particularly the labour party ad advance economic growth via demand from ever increasing numbers of people. The latter is totally unsustainable in environmental terms, but this is the model Labour and I'm particular Blair and Brown established the UK. Technical innovation is a highly geared economy whereas Labour and to an extent Liberal Conservatives support a low geared economy.

👌 Bravo! Paris

I agee👍 it also helped Germany to quickly recover after WW2. They really "built back better".

@SuchaDoofus - I don't see a problem if the system is porous and geographical and financial barriers don't get in the way of moving. In the UK, it was very difficult bureaucratically to pass between schools and streaming was not dependent on parental choice or teachers' recommendation. Instead, a single exam decided pupils' school career and for most it was very difficult to move up without a scholarship and strong support. (I think that some children did move across to a less academic school, but only after "failing" in the academic schools.)

We use (almost) the same system in the Netherlands - VWO(Gymnasium/Atheneum), HAVO, VMBO(BKGT 4 levels). It's decided 50% on school advice and 50% on a test (CITO)

The 1944 Education Act proposed something along that line. But because the grammar schools seemed to lessen class consciousness they were opposed by Labour and because they also made working class and lower middle class students of talent competitive with those in the Public schools for university seats, the Tory Party also hated them. So one gets the Comprehensive schools. which are as bad as American schools.

@@charleshayes2528 Well there is a lot of critique about the upwards mobility in this three tier school system. They say that the income determines way too much if you study later on or not etc. But lower classes usually also have a lower IQ and there we are again at the nature vs nurture debate. I will say however in the last years schools that do not select at least until your early teens are becoming more and more popular. I visited such a school and was horrified by all the dumb lower class people who couldn't behave at all so we will see how this experiment goes.

You think the British press are terrified of controversy and argument? Here was me thinking that was their bread and butter.

You need to watch the O’Connor interview that shows his real colours when it’s not controlled by him ….awful personality

@@wcfields547 thanks, I started to fear that only I watched this and was disgusted by this horrible person.

@@wcfields547 O'Connor was the bad one in that situation - deliberately not listening, not engaging with your interviewee and repeating/rephrasing ad nausueam. Poor quality interviewer looking for scandal/views and he got it!

​@@TechSuchtYou're subscribed to warmongering drivel like silicon curtain, that's probably why you don't like him.

Great Britain never won a battle until 1942

​@@gabrielarchange4680 They won the Battle of Britain in 1940. No small victory. Quite the opposite.

​@@MocatafamulusdeSet Rigth, that's true they did win that battle. I was thinking about field battles like El Alamein, where they actually defeated and pushed the enemy back and took ground.

@@gabrielarchange4680 I knew what you were getting at, indeed. 👍 Also the biggest British victory without direct American involvement. The same year as Stalingrad: the turning of the tide.🇬🇧 🌊🇬🇧

​@@gabrielarchange4680yeah we conquered the world with tea and biscuits and no violence 😂😂

Perhaps the Police find it easier to harass the innocent than to pursue the guilty.
