How Johnson, Truss and Sunak Broke Britain | James O'Brien Vs The Government Part 2

The economy was in absolutely dire straits, yet this slot sounds like Dumbledore just announced a holiday at Hogwarts. Hi, I'm James O'Brien, broadcaster and author, it's been three years since I recorded something called James O'Brien Against the Government to accompany the release. of my first book, how to be right, and I think it's fair to say that a lot of political things have happened in the intervening period, so here are more James Brian versus the

government

reports I just saw on Twitter that there was a

part

y of Christmas on Dow Street on Friday. night, do you recognize those important ones?

I went home his fictional

part

y was a business meeting even now, almost two years later, not since the party since the images emerged, the entitlement, arrogance and contempt in that room is off the scale obviously the important thing to remember is that this is an atmosphere that was in place all along this is not some kind of strange break from normal service this is the attitude they had towards the policies and deprivations that prevented you and me from visiting our mothers or even being able to attend the funerals of their loved ones, but for them it was all one big, extraordinarily poor joke.

The behavior became absolutely normal both at the micro level, if you will, of the

government

and on the street and then at the macro level of the country. His gry is the public official. who investigated The Gatherings and now his full report is available, it details multiple events and tells us what happened at many of these meetings and the way they unfolded was not in line with the coid guide at the time, so there was this event on the prime minister's birthday for which he has now been fined. I have been as surprised and disappointed as anyone else in this house as the revelations have unfolded.

Let's start with the obvious: Boris Johnson said there were no parties and then said there might be. parties but he certainly hadn't been aware of them and then he said well actually there had been parties and he had been aware of them but he wasn't aware that they were actually parties even when he attended them think about what they say The means must have been to allow a Prime Minister to go through this succession of lying and writhing with more or less impunity, with two or three exceptions, being absolutely whitewashed by the organizations and bodies that are supposed to hold power to account in this country. who is still blamed by some people for bringing down Boris Johnson and the penalty was probably the biggest nail in the coffin, but it wasn't the last nail in the coffin because he lied about the appointment of Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip, so that they are still claiming. that there was something unfair about this and of course the Sue Gray report, although it was smeared and attacked by all the right-wing media, probably didn't go as far as it could have because long after it was published we were still hearing stories.

Of more parties attended by even more people in Downing Street, it's also worth remembering that the birthday party Sunak was fined at was also fined for that which tends to get overlooked and forgotten in the mess he created. Johnson is that everyone around him also gets infected and in this case the current Prime Minister I think somehow managed to infect everyone around him through a kind of behavioral osmosis with a similar sense of right to impunity and That to me, this is largely why when the lid was finally opened no one could believe everything that had happened, it is now clearly the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and , therefore, a new leader.

Prime Minister, the process that finally got rid of him was so long and drawn out because he never admitted the truth. It's crazy to think it happened the way it did because there are at least five events that would have ended any other Prime Minister. ministerial career at the time when Liz Truss had run out of Road she was thinking about having another crack she was very serious about returning there it is almost enviable that absolute absence of conscience I think it is a symptom of being a sociopath or being a psychopath simply having abs no You have absolutely no concept of what conscience feels like without even a shred of consideration for anyone's feelings except your own and that's not just about other people, it's about an entire country, it's about Democratic Norms, it's about of all the things that really remain. civilizations together if the people in charge of them treat basic decency and simple rules with complete disregard we are all screwed what do you have?

Do you work in a business? Want something? I'm homeless and I'm actually homeless, I managed to start changing the funding formulas to make sure areas like this get the funding they deserve because we inherited a lot of formulas from the Labor party who pushed all the funding into deprived urban areas, so they already know it. needed to be undone I began the work of undoing that, therefore I give notice that Liz Truss is elected as leader of the Conservative and Unionist party. It had an almost surreal flavor, this battle where the people making the decision didn't.

I don't want to be in a position to make the decision at all because they would have retained Boris Johnson; It's just the rest of the country's annoying parliamentary party that has finally run out of patience with their lies and moral corruption, but now looking back, my God, what did we do to deserve this? It's like having to choose between a sandwich and ice cream made out of hair when she gave that speech about taking money from God's inner cities. CU, who the hell would want to provide funding in deprived urban areas? es and take it to Leafy Tumbbridge Wells instead.

He was at a homeless shelter when she asked that guy in line for breakfast if he was in business, but Truss' victory is the other fascinating thing about this when Johnson was still in Downy. Truss's approval ratings were actually very high and it was briefly baffling as to why and then you realized she had inherited the mantle of snake oil saleswoman of exactly what they wanted, the crack cocaine type of Brexit nonsense. . I mean, how else could a fairly effective activist stay overnight? one of the most unhinged and committed people on Brexit, so how did she win by actually becoming almost the embodiment of most of the things that are now wrong in Britain?

She was propelled into Downing Street by a groundswell of support from this unreliable lobby. groups that call themselves think tanks and never reveal who funds them, but lobby relentlessly in the interest of the super-rich. She had captured the Ence of Brexit by understanding that the bigger the LIE, the bigger the applause from the people she had voted for. she understood that staying loyal to Boris Johnson would be the final piece of the puzzle for a Conservative party membership that would have put him ahead of her on her wish list for the next leader. A 45p tax cut disappeared.

Dude, the former chancellor, he's gone too, everyone's gone, so why is he still here? Mr. President, I am a fighter and not a. I am told that Sella Bman resigned as Home Secretary. Grant determines who she fired when she came in. in Downing Street just over a month ago he is the new Home Secretary. I really shouldn't say this but I hope all those people who put Liz Truss in number 10 I hope it was worth it because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary given the situation I cannot fulfill the mandate for which I was elected by the conservative party I will remain as prime minister until a successor is chosen thank you, to my shame, I did not recognize the conservative who told the truth that he barely contained anger and dismay at what they have done to our party, that was his perspective, mine of course is what they've done to our country and of course the reason we've moved on as I mentioned before is because there's really no one. in the conservative media that supports him, which of course is almost all of them, who are as honest as that MP were there and just saying this is just horrible, how did this happen?

Because the moment you start answering the question, how did this happen? you can find out who's guilty, who's guilty and who's still guilty, as Liz Trust demonstrates, perhaps better than all those who refuse to take any responsibility for what they've done to us all, you can't hope to bribe or crook, thanks to God. British journalist to see what the man would do, unbribable, Ace wondered which one would last longer, but even they could read the writing on the wall and yet there's Liz Truss claiming she's a fighter, not a quitter. and she gives the impression of someone who would have to be dragged out of Downing Street by her fingernails just as Boris Johnson did before her and we're back to the point where everyone learns from the master, which again gives you an idea of ​​how hard it is. that has become everything, don't forget it. that she not only had to resign in disgrace after a security breach she executed herself.

I mistakenly thought it would be short since everyone would kill each other like in the final scene of Reservoir Dogs and B that I. You'd enjoy it, you keep remembering that the pornos they were playing with and the bets they were betting on, it's us and our future and our country, and to them it's still just a big game. I can confirm that we have received a valid nomination and therefore rishy

sunak

is elected leader of the conceptual forest the country was on fire the economy was in an absolutely desperate situation yet this space sounds like Dumbledore just announced a holiday at Hogwarts Absolutely unbelievable at the level of the Detachment and it's arrogance that you have to engage in that kind of behavior when the same people who were cheering in that room had entrusted Liz with the top job just a few weeks earlier.

It is really impressive. I thought, well, this has to be better, it can't be. worse than Johnson's brand of moral corruption and outright criminality, followed by Truss's almost superhuman stupidity in ways that have been at least as bad and in some ways possibly even worse and, um, that's where we are now. A video has been circulating on social media showing an individual not wearing a seatbelt whilst being a passenger in a moving car in Lancashire, after investigating this matter we have today issued a 42 year old man from London with an offer conditional fixed fine that sounds quite harmless if it weren't for the fact. that this 42 year old man is the prime minister and it is circulating on social media because he put it there himself, one of the reasons why all this keeps happening actually takes us back to the first algra Straton clip, ask yourself who I would want to work for people like this who would actually want to work on their communications side or their PR side or as advisors for them, the only people who would be attracted to working for this kind of level of ridiculousness in politics, so on. it's how it happens because he doesn't even have anyone with him saying that you should probably put your seat belt on.

You have someone in your life, whether they're on the payroll or just doing it from a place of Love or concern, they'll just say under their breath and you're being a little silly now there's none in that setup there's none there's none there have been for years but bis Johnson probably got rid of the last few I think Theresa May had Pratt says there isn't any and that's how you end up with the policy equivalent of not knowing how to operate a debit card or being filmed not wearing a seat belt of security, the policy equivalent to that which you know abolishing a war against motorists that does not exist or getting rid of a tax on meat that no one has paid.

It's interesting. I haven't detected that link before, but it must have to do with the caliber of the candidate for the bottom positions, for the jobs around them, but for the conservative party and we need a decently functioning conservative party to have a democracy that function decently just as we saw what happens when you don't have a decently functioning Labor party under Jeremy Corbin we saw in Johnson's cabinet at a public level that things were completely diminished that absolute insufficiency, obviously, something very similar has also happened, three floors high, you can see, it has 222 rooms and, starting this summer, will be home to 500 single male asylum seekers.

What is missing so far in this analysis, immigration, the great triumph. card from the mother of all Jokers that these people pull out of their famous pockets every time they desperately need to distract attention from what they have done to the country after 13 years in power, we made calls to their office, several never received one We replied that we wanted him to provide us with evidence that an asylum seeker enjoys four-star accommodation because whatWhat happens is that a hotel that was previously a four-star hotel stops being a four-star hotel and becomes a detention center for asylum seekers, so even if they still have a sign outside with four stars, they are trying to create the idea that they are calling the front desk and asking for, you know, room service to be delivered to their room, so if you have a hard time understanding so many decent people The level of vitriol and hatred that is directed at the refugees or asylum seekers is why there is a perception that they have a better life than yours, which when you think about the number of people who die in the canal or in the The number of people who die trying to reach a where they can enter the canal is palpably absurd, but it is very, very deliberately and very, very disgustingly fueled by people like Soel Braan and, in this case, Robert Jri, Honest Bob.and those who travel to the UK on routes illegal and dangerous vessels, including small boats through the canal, may be relocated to Rwanda.

They have ruled that the government's decision or policy to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda is illegal. They have reversed the previous decision of the high court. before a court the requirement is to demonstrate before a court that the destination to which these refugees are sent is safe. General Sir Richard Danet, former head of the British Army, has spoken publicly about his experiences in Rwanda after the genocide there and how ridiculous he found it. or how wrong the idea of ​​sending anyone there seems to you, let alone some of the most vulnerable people on the planet, so when this was announced, people like Ian Duncan Smith and other conservatives were touring the studios saying: "Well, if the application is successful, they will" They will come back here and make a life here, that's not true, they will be taken to Rwanda and regardless of whether they turned out to be real refugees, people who had fled persecution, famine, war, perhaps even aiding the British army in the theatres. de Guerra, if their request were found to be completely kosher, they would stay in Rwanda forever.

I announce today that we are going to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. You will still be able to buy petrol and diesel cars and vans until 2035. This is all because you are panicking about losing the election. I have been thinking about these issues for a long time. This isn't really about politics. It's not about politics. It's about doing what's right for the country in the long term. You can actually hear the lie in his voice. I like to think he's imagining his daughters looking at him because he used to use them as the reason he cares so much about the environment and used to talk about how angry he was. her daughters would be if she didn't speak out for it and do everything in her power to recognize the urgency of tackling climate change, but the reason she did it was the result of the Oxbridge elections, where the tour hangs by a whisker after Johnson.

They delivered their sandwiches wrapped in a waybill because a large number of people in the constituency believed false things about Ules' plan. The Ules expansion plan was, of course, put forward by Boris Johnson as mayor, but the expansion came under Sadi Khan. The people of Arbridge believed that they were going to have to pay money to enter the Zone. It was geographically perfectly situated for this propaganda even though the vast majority of people who believed that would not have had to pay money to move to the Zone. I talked to people on the radio who thought that if you didn't have a 100% electric car you would have to pay for charging every time you left your own Drive, when in reality you could have a gasoline car.

A car, a complete pet, you don't even need a hybrid and you would meet the UL demand, so he was quick to take a photo. Victoria, if you like a type of, they lost loads and loads and loads, squeaks on the line for a few. a hundred votes thought well, let's try to amplify that on a national scale and start courting people who think that climate change does not need to be addressed seriously and urgently by all governments on the planet hs2 is the ultimate example of the old consensus, the result is a project whose costs have more than doubled and which has been repeatedly delayed, so I am ending this long-running saga.

I'm canceling the rest of the hs2 project, which may not necessarily have been a bad announcement. I'm not an expert. in hs2 it seems a bit stupid to me to build half a bridge and then call it a day before reaching the other side of the river, but £36bn of transport infrastructure investment spent at a more regional level might be a better idea , it takes a bigger brain than mine to know that, but within days of that speech, the list of examples he gave of what this expense would get was crumbling around his ear, some of them already existing and then, when pressed for details.

They claimed that the things that were actually advertised weren't actually ads, they were just examples of the kinds of things we might spend the money on when we spend it again. This is the discovery of this little exercise today. people, isn't it, it's the absolute stupidity of colleagues, the whole machine is populated with idiots and charlatans and that's how you end up giving a speech at a conference without anyone in the room saying, wait, let's check that the tram line don't do it anymore. exists, well, let's make sure that's actually something people want, no one did, so just read out loud a long list of things that are being repudiated, denied, or otherwise dismissed before the memory of the speech has faded away.

We will introduce the new British Rich Advanced standard of rigorous knowledge which will bring together A and T levels into a single new qualification for our school levers It is as if all the things that have traditionally been at the center of political decision making have been

broke

n by them . so they can't really claim that they are going to look after the NHS for example, or that they are going to look after the economy, all the big issues that matter most to us, they have questioned their own speech, so that's why they are making announcements on issues that you may have never thought about before.

So when was the last time you woke up in the night and thought, "Oh, we need urgent action on certain levels? It's just strange, but it's probably what I hear most often." uh listeners and members of the public is how interested they are in having the opportunity to exercise their democratic right or at least have the opportunity to change the government. People really want an election, if you're really serious about the long term, why not? You just go to the countryside because that is not what the country wants, I go out every day, not what anyone wants, what people want is for politicians to make a difference in their lives completely out of time, thank you very much for having me , very kind.

See you next time at the next Party Conference. Will you still be here as Prime Minister? Yes, we have a lot to do and accomplish. Well, then you will be Prime Minister after the next election. Of course, I'm working very hard to deliver for the country, be okay, you should wake up in the morning and think what I'm doing. I could have been living in California as some kind of tech bro in a million dollar house with my lovely wife and kids and instead, I'm dealing with this and I'm trying to affirm that things are fine or that people He doesn't want elections.

You almost see it in his eyes. You heard the

broke

n voice earlier when I said. I have to help myself from feeling sorry for these people because they didn't end up in these positions by accident and sat back while Boris Johnson ruined everything and while Brexit was passed, but my goodness, it's incredible, isn't it? to see the contrast between observable reality and political rhetoric, and of course that contrast has now been almost completely eroded by the failure of much of the media. Beth Rigby is another glorious exception to holding these clowns accountable. We could be here in 3 years. now looking at even more decline and decline and if we don't have a change of government then we almost certainly will or they might try to return to the territory once occupied by John Major um and as a patriot I hope they do the latter.
