Talks a lot of sense. Private Eye is a excellent publication too.
Hislop.
Ian hislop is like a role-model to me, despite being forty!
Comedians and satirists tend to be very well up on their politics
he really knows his stuff. I reckon he deserves a knighthood.
outstanding posting….thanks for posting this, i really reckon it is brilliant…and im not a well off Tory upper class twit… im a lorry driver with no kids,but i care about the children in schools now, and we just cannot keep borrowing more and more money….o dear, what a mess the Labour government has left, …x
@CelticReject It would be fantastic, it would be f*ucking incredible.
@malarbusto Yes, it was a stupid choice. But, since our banking competitors were deregulating, we had no choice but to follow suit. Either that or lose business to New York/Tokyo/Shanghai etc. This would still not have been so terrible if we had a strong manufacturing base here in the UK, but The Tories fucked that up a long time ago, at a time when out competitors were supporting theirs. All we had left of any note was banking.
finally, someone else who recognised that obama was nothing but words.
years later america is realising. in years AND YEARS to come, the leftists of the UK will realise too. UK lefties always seem to be about 10 steps behind in foreign affairs
The present financial crisis can be traced back to Thatcher and her deregulation of the markets. She fired the starting gun for the snouts in the trough free for all thats led us here.
@EnglandIndependence It isn’t a question of what’s best for the UK, but rather what foreign competitors are doing. If UK banks are regulated up to their eyeballs, then borrowers are going to go to foreign banks, who might be less concerned. If a company needs to borrow to expand, there’s nothing stopping then from going to Shanghai, Singapore or New York for investment funds.
@DaMuttzNutz You’re saying Hislop is wise AFTER the event. Maybe. But there were an dreadful lot of people wise before the event. Sure, politics means hard decisions. Allowing banks to do what they wanted was a STUPID decion (rather, a long series of stupid, small sighted, often greedy decisions). And now we watch as bankers crawl back, demanding bonuses, resisting regulation. At least the next time Hislop spouts off, you cannot accuse him of abusing hindsight.
I want Hislop for King. He is the very best.
Why do we sit down and watch these people lie to us everyweek wake up britain and string these fuckers up.Do not belive anythink the british goventment tell u they serve huge companys and will slowy make every part of your life more expensive mark my words that is were it is going and i dont see no one doing anythink about it. Talk about the people being asleep.
Hislop for King – I want him to rule our country forever.
@EnglandIndependence If you want laissez-faire capitalism, no party is advocating it but the closest party from what I can tell isn’t the English Democratic Party but the Libertarian Party UK.
@god0fgod its amusing how the selfish huge 6 (LibLabCon, UKIP, BNP and Greens) seem tothink contrary to wat you said coz they want all the money for themselves. a laissez-faire market is the best for England
0:50 – Markets needs competition and freedom. Regulation destroys competition and freedom.
@ec123456789able
if you watch older videos of HIGNFY you can see that his hair started to stop growing very young, in the pattern it still can be seen in (bit on top massive bald spot on the back…
@CelticReject It’s simple for Ian Hislop to sit back and snipe when everything goes tits-up. The art of politics in a democracy is trying to keep everybody pleased, which leads to populist policies and not necessarily those conducive to the excellent of the country or its economy. He appears to talk a lot of sense, but then he has the luxury of not being in government and trying to make the best decisions, often in hard circumstances with small hard information to go on.
@TheMekon really i know people who were complete slap heads who had hair transplants. they finished up with a similar hairline to ian hislop (kinda thin and whispy on the top with a bald crown) the reason they leave the crown bald is because framing the face is more vital asthetically. my guess is, ian would have had a shiny bald head and has had minimal restoration done. when you are very bald hair transplants are not as effective because of limited donar supply and extensive baldness. lol.
@ec123456789able Haha, no, because hair plugs usually come hand in hand with hair and not a massive bald spot. I doubt Hislop is a vain man, and he’s smart enough to know that he’d get a lot of negative attention if he was.
ian hislop looks like he has had hair plugs. anyone else reckon that?
Clegg is now sucking Daves dick
@20cFilmWannabe Certainly a lot more than the average opinion person they place on Question Time.
