Choosing which bit of carrot you want to eat out of a pile of sick. Best analogy I've ever heard.
Except not only are you being asked to choose carrot pieces from the sick pile, you actually don't get a say in which one you'll end up being forced to eat because only the people who threw it up get to vote on it
only idiots vote all the same were done glad im dying @@katharineeavan9705
"It's like choosing which bit of carrot you want to eat out of a pile of sick" Best quote describing the Tory Party I have ever heard. Bravo madam, bravo. 👏👏👏
It should be the description of almost all British politicians.
She was talking about Rishi vs Keir. The entire voting population is responsible for the rif raf put into Parliament. The job of MP does not appeal to leaders, but ideological twats and power/money hungry folk with no genuine concern for the country other than it failing in their ideology or crumbling their personal empire. The Labour Party has been 100% complicit in the failings of the past several administrations. They have not provided any viable opposition or alternatives to the current policies of this Conservative Government.
@@angrytedtalks How can the Labour Party be 100% complicit when they've been in an opposition minority for less than a third of the time since the Conservatives gained power in 2010? Even when the LibDems and DUP were in a coalition government with the Tories, the Tories still had the majority, so they were effectively told to shut up and do as they were told. Any of them could of and often did oppose anything they want, but it wouldn't have made any difference because it's the majority passes the laws, which is why the Tories are 100% responsible for everything that's happened since 2010. It's like blaming Larry the cat for being 100% complicit for everything that happened in 10 Downing St. for all the good his opposition would have been.
@@mazdamaniac4643 Very easily. Labour has done nothing, made no sensible policies or successfully opposed anything from the Conservative party regardless of how successful or unpopular it was. The Labour Party is just whiney but otherwise supports Brexit and broadly agreed with the Conservative party on terms of lockdowns and furlough payments which have brought the country to financial breaking point. The Labour MPs who stand in opposition were never told to "shut up" they each have exactly the same right to attend Parliament as any other MP. Laws are passed cross party. There is no obligation for an MP to vote on bills by doing what other MPs do; their boss is their constituents, not the party leader.
@@mazdamaniac4643 How are they complicit? If you don't provide a viable opposition that people will vote for, then you are complicit. The number of Tory successes are at least partly due to how inept and how unelectable Labour have been in recent years, especially under that complete loser Corbyn. He has NEVER apologised for being a useless moron. If a football club puts up no opposition to the team that beat them 10-0. They owe their fans an apology. Labour have never apologised for being inept and useless.
As a Brit who hates my government, I always love laughing at Russell poking fun at everything wrong with our leaders
same here it’s so entertaining 😭
@@connieluvr It's funny because it's true 😂😭
He only pokes fun at the right, the amount of coverage Trump got and the 0 that Biden has got clearly shows his biases.
same can we just get a normal person in government like come on. parties aside it feels like they aren't like average people its all we need someone who understands the daily struggle of the average man I'm still a young lad I'll admit my political opinions follows my dads as he is the only person who talks to me about a politics so I cant say I'm completely aware but what I can see is they don't understand the struggle of the average man some might care but they haven't been there they don't understand the problem completely (sorry if grammar is terrible I'm slighty drunk XD)
@@Deadman_4679 Don't worry. I think your grammar is just fine XD As for my political leaning: I'm more of a liberal minded person than a conservative (the party currently in power). My main issue with our government is Brexit and the total shit situation it's put our country in If you disagree with me, that's fine.... we're all entitled to our own opinions. But that's what I think. I think we need a young-ish leader in their 30s or 40s who's liberal minded and willing to bring us back into the EU or at least back in Europe's good book
This man need another season. He'll have a field day with what's happening right now.
Yeah, what's up with him? Why don't we get any new material?
@@lenkacfk7155 a lot of comedy shows were canceled by the BBC in 2023. Mock the Week, Franky Boyle's New World Order and him. It's like they knows how badly they screwed up and can't handle people having a laugh at their incompetence. I especially miss Franky Boyles New World Order.
@@ToudaHellthis was on sky though
@alfonzoaston6127 I'm sorry I'm not that familiar with your TV channels. I'm canadian. But it seems a lot of the more critical co.edy shows got canceled this year just when we need them the most.
@@ToudaHell , oh, damn, I didn't know that. Dammit. He should get a show on Comedy Central - if they can hire an Aussie like Jim Jefferies, surely they'd give a Brit a chance!
Rishi Sunak, multi-millionaire, still buys his clothes in the kids department to avoid tax!
The kids department?! Better investigate the living shit out of him, heck, investigate the shit of them all!
In an age of crazy, we so need Russell
I’m pretty convinced at this point that good and competent people justifiably steer clear of politics. Only the delusionally arrogant and corrupt/dishonest and power hungry see any advantage in it
There's some truth in that. And the same with CEOs. Only the arseholes want to climb to the top. 1% of the population are thought to be psychopaths. That rises to 6% of politicians, which equates to 39 MPs, and a staggering 25% of CEOs. Lawyers, senior police officers and media personalities are other careers that attract psychopaths. There's a reason for this. Psychopaths tend to be insecure, so they have a need for power and control, consequently they are driven to get into positions of power. One of the most important traits of a psychopath is a lack of empathy and conscience. This means they will do whatever they think they can get away with to reach the top, things most people would consider unacceptable. British politicians that display a lot of psychopathic traits include: Boris Johnson, Domminic Cummings, Jeremy Hunt, IDS, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel, amongst others. Current and recent world leaders that display a lot of psychopathic traits include: Putin, Trump, Kim Jong Un, Bolsonairo of Brazil, Orban of Hungary, Erdogan of Turkey, Modi of India, Morrison of Australia and Netanyahu of Israel. I'm not sure about Xi of China as I don't know enough about him except he's ruthless, though I wouldn't be surprised. When you realise this it explains the actions of so many world leaders and why the big corporations act as they do. Psychopathic traits include: - A lack of conscience or empathy. - A sense of superiority. Thinking they are better/cleverer than everyone else. - Believing the law/rules are for lesser people and don't apply to them. Each time they break the law/rules and get away with enforces their belief that they're cleverer than everyone else. - Pathological lying. -Conning and manipulative behaviour. - Superficial charm. Never trust a charmer. Psychopaths use their charm to manipulate others, but it's only skin deep. - Irresponsible behaviour: i.e They break promises, agreements, contracts, teaties, etc. They also tend to start projects and not finish them. This is because they tensd to get bored quickly and have short attention spans. - Poor control: Psychopaths react badly to criticism or not getting their own way. They get impatient, irritable, aggressive, abusive, etc. - Promiscuity and extra marital affairs. Psychopaths only care about themselves and don't care if they hurt others. - Risk taking behaviour. Psychopaths don't care for anyone but themselves. They think of other people as: 1) Those useful to them. e.g. those with money, power, etc. If that ceases to be the case or they later become a liability they will ditch them/throw them under the bus. Psychopaths have no loyalty. 2)Those they can use/exploit. 3) Those they can safely ignore/walk over. 4) Those they consider a threat or obstruction. Cat scans on psychopaths show little activity in their frontal lobe, the part of the brain thought to control empathy and conscience. Psychopaths aren't evil, thouh they may commit acts others consider as such. They're just the ultimate in selfishness. They only care about themselves and will always do what they think is best for them. If this hurts others then they don't care. In fact they are incapable of caring.
Hard to make a go of it when you have to have money and connections or a bewildering amount of luck to even enter the game, and then you watch as your political opponents goad the public into murdering a left wing MP in broad daylight and completely get away with continuing the behaviour that led to it.
I met Russel in august, really really nice man, clearly had places to be and yet stopped to talk and take a photo with me.
To become a 'successful' politician you need a lot of money. But rich people are the most out of touch with the reality of what the average citizen has to endure in this country, so how can they stand there and say they empathize with the populous and actually mean it? They can't. Politics is screwed.
Money and connections. But if daddy had money, that's taken care of. Your chances of political success get a lot higher if you could go to a prestigious private school, followed by a prestigious university.
@@vylbird8014 Money and connections is always their cornerstone of success. While the government released an advertising campaign telling ballet dancers and artists to retrain as IT support staff, they happily had a guy with a philosophy degree (who clearly paid his way out of failing given his inability to grasp basic rhetoric let alone think about the world outside of his bank account and genitals) in No. 10. The message is clear: only those with rich parents are allowed career aspirations towards the things they're passionate about and enjoy instead of making all their decisions based on what their betters tell them they need to do to deserve food and shelter.
Thanks, Russell! I had a great time at the Chicago Athenaem Center. You and Derek were hilarious. I left half-deaf because of the super-loud laughter from the ladies sitting behind :D
Russel never disappoints 😂
Fact
@@DTL9164he should stop forcing his political opinions down people’s throats and just stick to comedy
He's not Frankie Boyle or Ricky Gervais unfortunately, but he'll do
Another good Russel video!
At this point I'm convinced that we're all living in a reality tv show and we're all side characters
"Machine men, with machine minds, and machine hearts."..or as we call them colloquially, "Twats".
"You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!" Chaplin is as relevant now as he was then. 🥲
I honestly looked at the title and thought Rishi Sunak had a squabble with Captain Sensible from the Damned 😬
Dishy Rishi? He looks as if his head has been squeezed by a vice.
The one comedian who proper cracks me up.
hes a muppet.
@@sondoobie1987 :D Did you know that before clicking on the link?
@@weswheel4834 I have known he was a muppet/shill for the establishment. Just look how the fool attacked anyone who didn't have the coof jibjab. Take a look and tell me I am wrong.
thank you for the video
You always make My laugh😂😂😂😂😂
Rishy must have had ChatGPT write his speeches for him lmao
And his waves 😂
Do you reckon the teleprompter said "wait for applause" and the fact nobody applauded him ended up confusing him?
I heard _Ricky Sauna_ in that string of gaffs.
The most consistently funny guy around
pffft.. He's a proper tool.
I prefer Gervais, but Howard has some chops
@@MattitudePlays Ah, now he IS the master ;)
ahhhh russell thank you soooo much for the laughter !
The Tories have lurched so far right that ten years ago Starmer would be considered to the right of Cameron. If Labour are 20 points ahead in the polls, it's because people are so desperate to get rid of the Conservatives, not because Starmer is special.
Similar to the position the tories were in when blair took over but with more extremism and the media seem to still be supporting the hatemongers in downing street
No-one with even the smallest amount of political knowledge would put Starmer to the right of Cameron. Never in a million years. No-one who wasn't pushing Tory propaganda anyway.
@@dondoodat Imagine trawling through comment sections and posting multiple replies to defend that utter damp towel of a human being. I wouldn't if you payed me. Appearing centrist (right wing) is literally Starmer's strategy; the Tories want him to look more left wing because they understand that him being right wing threatens them in their own space. Starmer himself has directly come out in favour of continued austerity, and human rights violations in Palestine (so much for being a human rights lawyer, I guess). He is not left wing, not even close.
@@_xeere Imagine tagging me to post nonsense. Democracy is being where the electorate are, not telling the electorate they are wrong for not being where the party are. The majority of us are centrist, that's what the term centrist means. We've had enough of extremists. As for your nonsense about human rights violations in Palestine or austerity he hasn't come out in favour of either. Try being honest occasionally.
@@dondoodat He has said to LBC that he supports Israel's "right" to deprive Gazans of clean water and food, this is both a war crime and a human rights violation. I've seen a video from the Tony Blair institute of him talking for 30 minutes straight defending his decision to prolong austerity. Maybe you shouldn't vote for this guy if you don't like his policies, rather than pretending that he has different ones. I also wonder if you support democracy for the residents of Islington North who all seem to want Corbyn as their MP? Or is yours the kind of democracy where everyone is obligated to vote for the candidate you like because all the other parties are worse? I've seen that kind in america and I don't want it here.
Apparently he’s really charismatic in person, I’m not sure why he can’t just do the same thing on tv
He has all the charisma of an entitled parasite.
@@johnking6624 Really ? A hunan rights lawyer who did work for free ? Doesn't seem entitled to me, he worked hard to get to where he is, not because he went to the right public school.
@@dondoodat Holy shit you just keep going. Being associated with human rights doesn't make you electable or charismatic. Case in point: Jeremy Corbyn.
@@_xeere You obviously didn't see the comment I was responding to in your haste to spout nonsense. Get a grip, you're all over the place.
Who is?
“Dishy Rishi vs Captain Sensible”? If there’s a debate would it be billed as “Happy talkin', talkin', happy talk”. And, presumably they’d “Talk about things they’d like to do”
Much better Cpt Sensible than Private Chaos.
I thought Rishi was private Equity. His wife is the daughter of a billionaire and you do wonder how much of a factor that was in him wanting to marry her. He's a greedy little cunt and will do anything for money.
General Disarray 😂
I'm just waiting on the Mark Normand episode. Well done on We Might Be Drunk
Rikki tikki tavi!😂
4:36 looked like a young King Charles.
I said captain! He said what? I said CAPTAIN! He said WHAT?
I’m so happy to see the influence @The Mighty Jingles have got over the English population, if you can’t pronounce it, we call him Dave
I wonder how many viewers here, will get this reference. Nice one pal.
now that is a comment I don't see every day, as a fellow jingles viewer
Maybe sunaks intolerance also includes lactose and that cheese pizza was the reason for the plastic sheets
The lady at 1:07 is spot on
He got Britain done!
“We’ve made no decision on HS2 although we recorded it several days earlier in Downing Street” ! Ffs Partygate 2
Welcome back, Russ, from your American fanclub!
That sand sculpture looked a little bit like John Bishop.
Jesus fucking Christ he comes out swinging in this clip
A more appropriate tag line might be 'Major Clusterf@@k Vs Captain Sagacious'
I would take anything of Rishi right now.
Chelsea fans didn’t name Cesar Azpilicueta “Dave”. He was called “Dave” by his teammates.
It’s crazy because starmer would be considered a Tory 10 years ago
Sunak was cloned by Matel. Well, a failed Ken had to go somewhere.
Rishi is definitely not kenough.
He is not moneysupermarket or rainbow rhythms. 😊
@@watsernamenor is he great at doing stuff
He sonds like a broken robot because he is one.
Can we have a party that gives a toss?
I think we should give the Monster Raving Loony Party a chance, they can't be worse than anything currently going on, i think it would be hilarious if we jokingly gave them a chance and they actually managed to sort everything out somehow
Green. But apparently you can only vote red or blue because "tactical" 😑
Rushy schumacker lol
4:34 isnt that Tony "war criminal" Blair?
FREE FREE PALESTINE!!!!!! RUSSELL PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PALESTINE!
🤣🤣🤣
can think of million other names to call him to be honest !
I seriously *love* Russels content... but all I've seen for the last year+ is repeated content... am I missing another channel somewhere? anything *new*?
As if the tories couldn’t give us someone any better than Mr. Potato head.
"you have failed this country" *directed at a man who has never led the country and a party that has not been in power in more than a decade
Even the lowest of citizens can fail their country. Like not getting vaccinated, being a drag on society, never paying taxes, not voting.... You don't have to lead a country to make it worse^^
DAME RIGHT. GEEEEEZEEEER
Rishi is well and truly out of touch with the poor.
I don't want a "sexed-up" Prime minister or another "Character". We've had enough of them and this isn't a reality show. I'll take boring, competent and honest every day of the week. As someone once said, we get the leaders we deserve.
Dishy Rishi ? More like fishy Rishi follow the money
My mouth gaped open as soon as I heard the Gary Glitter music come on.
Rishi's weekday house is number 10 Downing Street. Duh. The entire 650 members of Parliament don't have a single quality leader amongst them.
It be funtny if he'd said oh bollocks when in ther truck
I want my political leaders to be sensible.
953...
To be fair he looks like a Dave .
Need the Tories out they are a liability
Labour ain’t much better tbf, but let’s just hope they do a bit of a better job than the Tories
They're all the Effing same!! Same Old School Tie, Same Golf Club for Drinks while laughing at the Middle/Working/Underclasses!!
@@AndreaDingbattPretty much this. They all have the same policies too. They all hate immigrants and people who work for a living, they all use private healthcare so think nothing of destroying our NHS and then of course the cost of living crisis.
Behind the scene starmer is no different.. His airways come across as a Tory who the Tories didn't want.. Me and my family have voted labour all our lives.. but not anymore
@@liaqathussain3011 Good plan, because I love this government as well. Definitely shouldn't vote against them, well done.
Why are the times stamps talking bout murders
😂😂😂
Captain sensible says its OK to stop Palestinians from having water. Think he needs a new name
He's right, you should stop supporting terrorists
@@leonrussell9607 numpty
Glad to hear the R Kelly tune, its not a lot better all things considered...but at least its a good song.
Tories carnage is not an easy fix but Starmer is a good start
Replacing Tories with another Tory? The guy wants NHS privatisation and supports austerity, he's not a true Labour politician unless Labour are now right wing.
A terrible take on the matter.
If anything Labour are worse than the Tories. Starmer wants more immigration into the UK.
Nah, Green is the only way man. Starmer is a Tory in a red tie.
Sad that Labour's entire campaign in recent years has been to put in as little effort as possible and are just coasting on "not being the Tories"
That opinion was given to you by our rightwing media who only talk about Starmer in the negative. Billionaire non-dom media moguls don't tend to publicise Labour.
@@dondoodatlabours just as bad
@@crimson6864 No. Who is Labour's Braverman, Patel, Johnson, Mogg, Gullis or 30p Lee ?
Starmer's Labour are just tories with red rosettes. Nothing will get better til we ditch FPP and the Westminster system.
@@dondoodat Well in Labour's case it would be Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting and Rachel Reeves.
he misinterprated the korma, it means going down the pan verry soon!
VOTE FOR GREEN PARTY!
Probably best to wait for PR for that in any General Election.
@@dondoodat Really funny that you said "Democracy is being where the electorate are, not telling the electorate they are wrong for not being where the party are.", when here you are saying people should vote for a candidate they don't like because the people who represent their views can't do anything. I guess you should vote for a party that supports PR (not Keir Starmer who is against the idea).
@@_xeere Oh dear. Once again you've failed. FPTP isn't democratic meaning that it's beyond possible to get the Tories out by voting Green. Look at what happened in the Uxbridge by-election. Labour have not ruled out PR, they just aren't putting it in this manifesto that covers the next five years. You're clutching at more straws than a scarecrow on viagra.
That's what let the Tories in in 2010.
Vote for the party in your ward most likely to beat the Tories, then push for PR, THEN vote Green.
I love having two conservative governments, no, really! Do we keep the Blue Tories in and continue as we are? Which is, by the away, awful. Or do we vote in the Red Tories led by the biggest Torie of them all, Sir Keir Starmer, and thus continue as we are. Again, awful. Please do something about the two party system my fellow UK'ers, do yourselves a favour and vote literally anything OTHER than Red or Blue at the next elections.
I hate the two party system. I want Green in
Politicians = they seem to be pathetic and silly everywhere
Rather have BNP
Absolutely - carrot and sick ... way to go Torys.
Rishi should leverage an inclusivity platform: The first PM on the autism spectrum I gotta find out who is providing hair to boris and trumplestiltskin. I've seen dolls at yard sales with better hair.
Better vote for Davros, exterminate, exterminate! 😂😂😂
Thanks, I guess, but I don't appreciate Repeats as much as you think I do. Did they to do anything of note this month?!
Kier Starmer: a man so good at running the labour party that the deputy leader of Luton actually quit
Ok so you guys know when someone types np it's for no problem so when political parties elect MPs they are basically electing more problems but if political parties changed the position to sm would be smart person so technically the country will suffer every time a new MP is elected
why do we listen to comedians for truth and politicians for lies?
Poor old Joe Biden "Rasheed Soonook" , at least he made an attempt this time , when Scott Morrison was PM in Australia Joe when referring to him forgot his name altogether and said "that fella down under , thank you very much pal" .
Biden now is the same age Churchill was when he stepped down as PM in 1955. A few lapses of memory are perhaps to be expected. If he needs to remember people's names he's hopefully got staff for that.
Looks like Starmer is being groomed to be the next PM just like Rishi and BoJo was and so many others before them.
keep labour out
And the Tories too... Time for a new age. Maybe Green can show us the way
@@MattitudePlays the greens are a joke
@@kevinkards how so? They want to reinstall local community. Rather than having monopolistic corporations like Tesco they want to encourage local produce, local butchers, local grocers. What this does is keep the money IN the local community and everyone in that community becomes better off... As an oppose to giving your money to ASDA that gets taken out of the country and put in a rich man's off-shore account (which causes inflation because more of our money sits off-shore rather than in circulation). Please tell me what part of that is "a joke" as you put it?
@@MattitudePlays communism Putin's friends
And yet still not as bad as what we’re seeing here in the states with Trump and the GOP in House of Representatives. The Senate and Biden are no prize, but trump and the GOP make them look disciplined in comparison with all the chaos they cause.
When members of the opposition party speak in parliament, whole benches of Tory MPs boo and jeer to drown them out. Sometimes with name calling. Members have been caught sleeping. Others have been seen to be very obviously on illicit substances. Most just straight up don't show up. We have an escalating issue of legislation being dropped because not enough MPs turn up to debate or vote on it. Bonus: Actual things Tory party MPs have said and/or suggested over the last few years: People wouldn't have laughed at him if he'd brought his valet out on campaign instead of his nanny. They're proud that the number of foodbanks in the UK has gone up by thousands. (And no, they weren't talking about being proud of funding them or setting them up - to my knowledge they've done neither of those things) We should replace the fruit pickers we lost to Brexit with impoverished retirees who we should then pay less than minimum wage. We shoud make it legal to pay disabled people less than minimum wage. Poor people should stop complaining about the cost of living and start selling their valuables, such as their pearls. He only broke the lockdown rules because he didn't understand them (this one was the PM in charge of setting and announcing the lockdown rules). Poor people are just being silly about food prices - you can buy a massive bag of oats and your whole family can eat that for the entire week (meanwhile we've seen the return of actual scurvy in UK children for the first time in decades). Disabled children should be guillotined (he was 'asked' to resign when it came out that he'd said it. Only when it came out though, not when he actually said it). Nicknamed a fellow Tory MP "Pincher by name, pincher by nature" and said he was "handsy" and proceeded to do nothing about the claims made against said Tory MP because they apparently didn't know he was harrassing people.
The main problem there is the bizarre rule that makes it so easy to oust a Speaker. That would never happen in the UK because it would require a majority of the party in power to bring the vote. For that matter I don't understand why anyone thought it would be a good idea to have the executive and the legislative governed by opposing parties more than half of the time. In the UK the executive are only the executive because they're supported by the legislative.
@@rtozier2011 yeah, you have a good point. And as the political climate gets more polarized it’s going to become harder and harder to legislate. If they know they’ll be punished by their more radical colleagues for working in a bipartisan manner, many of them won’t. These people will sacrifice doing their duty to remain in power. It goes even beyond legislating now. On the right you have to swear allegiance to trump (which is messed up on many levels) or risk his ire and having the base turn on you. I think the founding fathers thought that while politicians can be self-serving, that ultimately they would put country above it. Seems they had no idea what the future would bring.
Does anyone who didnt get the jab still laugh at this guy.
I didn't get the jab, I think he's alright
Ketamine is alot more fun than kier starmer...
Honestly, after Boris Johnson we need a boring PM
I did not vote for a corner shop PM
Nobody did apart from a couple of hundred senile Tory party members.
Maybe they shouldn't have voted Boris.
