Professor Sir Michael Marmot joins Andrew Marr to discuss alarming data from the NHS, which suggests a signifiant increase in Victorian-era diseases, such as scurvy and rickets, during Rishi Sunak's premiership. Marmot attributes the return of these diseases to poverty and malnutrition and emphasises the 'grim' reality of Britain in 2024.

Finally made the decision to move back to italy and when I think about how many poor people I left there I get so sad that they don't have another option like I did. My health is still not restored after all the challenges I put my body too just to get by and make debts in UK. Shocking

Vitamin C is also in cabbage and cabbage is cheaper than fruit!Fresh potatoes are nearly nutritionally complete too. Processed potatoes like chips, fries aren't nutritionally complete. Tins of beans are cheap and excellent for health. People lack nutrition knowledge, aren't cooking, and rely on processed food when they buy food. Sounds like they also need to offer free breakfast and free lunch at school for poor children.

And you think it is clever to belittle the numbers? How dare you. Have you also missed the report that children in UK have actually shrunk 5cm on average due to malnutrition? We only used to get such reports from famines in Africa. Now it is rife in the (still) sixth richest country in the world!

They poor should never again go to war when the rich want them to. That day will come sooner or later. Let the rich lead the rich into the fight to protect their wealth. The truth is capitalist countries need people only to keep them in debt during peaceful times and to send them to war when one has started. Refuse to go to war, refuse to buy from abroad, refuse to buy new stuff, always buy second-hand, refuse to service your staff with networks, use local people. refuse to buy stuff local handyman or yourself can't service, refuse to insure, buy a bike, get rid of your car ... be as little a part of elite capitalism as possible. If many follow this, capitalist elite is dead. As it stands now, a lot o people in the UK still buy stuff they can't afford, like drug addict addicted to comfort a dose gives you, they want the comfort, but they have no money for it. Cut down on your market participation as described above and if that's not enough, leave the country. There is no point staying in the place you can't get a shelter, food, clean water, clean air, afford your car, your car insurance, your house mortgage. Pack you luggage and go elsewhere.

Butter and lamb from NZ was dirt cheap, ate it for breakfast, and dinner. Milk was cheap too. We really only stopped getting cheap healthy food when supermarkets started to shape our options and incomes grew in the 60s and 70s. Women were encouraged to go put to work, and often a second wage made a huge difference to family income, even with part time work. We cant keep on banging on about "my mam .. 20 kids ...fed on nothing.... healthy home cooked food". That doesnt exist anymore especially where people cant affird to turn on their cookers.

You could get a job in any factory you walked into. Kids who left school could immediately get apprenticeship roles and employment. The council had enough money to fully refurbish your house (from bare brickwork) and even paid your rent when they moved you into temporary accommodation. This depletion of wealth and poor governance started 50/60 years ago.

The guy interviewed mentions Slovenia but even countries in eastern Europe that seem poorer in monetary terms might actually have its poorest people living better than their UK counterparts.

Trains from Edinburgh to Liverpool costs £56 and was delayed for 50mins. Getting a a partial refund is nice but the fact that there is a system in place to handle these refunds kinda indicates this is quite a common thing to happen. Waited for 36 hours in the A&E with my father. Potholes EVERYWHERE! There are also road closures but it looked like very little work is being done. Mobile reception is appalling. So many blind spots even in some central locations. Even the AirBnB host had to ration heat because the cost of energy is so expensive. The only thing that I noticed any improvement is when they want you to pay. Wireless card payment is wonderful but that’s about it. Honestly, it’s really sad to see Britain like this.

erm overpopulation? if the previous parent had less competitors for rent and property purchases they have more money for their children and vice versa. It's all about, overpopulation which drives up cost competition for investments. Also sometimes populations go through iq and creative thinking decreases. This further reduces the ability to bounce back. To be sure it is also in part fault of elites and lack of curtailment or regulation on what they can own and the fault of the banks. but overpopulation and lack of cultural direction are the main drivers. Allied with, obviously the lack of action on restructure of national debt. However the national debt is also based on tax revenue based on many things, but overpopulation again being a big factor.

@cupguin 3 месяца назад
@@markwilkie3677 Congratulations on proving how idiotic her point is. Issuing corrections isn't proof of bias, it's proof the BBC issues corrections. It's even arguable proof the system is working as intended since corrections get put out as needed. Either way you look at it, issuing corrections doesn't show a need for added OFCOM powers. And "there's a public perception of bias" cheers on demonstrating that. Let's say I work for the BBC. I make a mistake or learn something in the future, is that bias? More importantly, why are you so convinced you know that corrections were due to bias? Would I be wrong in assuming no matter what I saw you're convinced that there's a "left" bias that's reflected in those corrections? And I'm going to give you a small hint why people are going after the BBC. If people can trust the BBC and it publishes a story about a sudden spike in childhood illnesses associated with lack of access to food it would reflect poorly on the government. That's not reporting bias, it's reporting reality. But if you're convinced there's a political bias at work you'll ignore that and think favourably about the government. So there's a direct political benefit in making people doubt factual reporting. But sure, perception, correction and all being interchangeable when it comes to the BBC isn't serving Frazer's party at all and it's the BBC to blame somehow.

The Billionaires don't have loyalty to any nation or people. They have loyalty to gold. If they can make more money in Singapore, they will go there. If taxes are lower in the US, they will go there. Billionaires have no vested interest in a nations stability or success. They just extract wealth and assets and then hide their billions in a vault in a Swiss mountain, or a Cayman Islands tax haven. Western Democracies are going to be destroyed not by Russia or China, but by the greed and avarice of Billionaires who have no loyalty to the West or Democracy, only gold.
