"I don't believe it's going to be as bad as the media is making out. Noone can predict the future" - man who literally made his own prediction about the future.

" How to not starve? Just don't get hungry " - A Tory supporter.

My parents came over here with £500 and made something of them selves, that's why I support the party that created the hostile environment for foreign nationals

When someone says "I'm economically conservative" I hear "I am absolutely insulated against economic realities"

"Just don't go into debt" That solves everything lol

"strong on armed forces and policing" *Awkward moment when crime has sky rocketed under the Tories and they've cut police and military spending, either out right, or not having the budgets meet/exceed the inflationary amount* "Tory party is for freedom" *Awkward moment when they're introducing protest laws which are trying to make you a criminal for using your human right to protest poor working conditions/pay* This is so Orwellian it's ridiculous. These are the kinds of willfully ignorant people that drag a country to it's knees

That was a tough watch. Especially the guy who talked about the Tories being fiscally responsible. I’d love to hear him explain why we’re worse off now than were in 2010.

"If you want economic competence, support the Tories" ... That has aged like milk.

The delusion here is actually insulting. Wankers. Have they not seen what's happened over the last 12 years

"I'm lucky enough to be working" Mate so is most of the country and our wages won't cover these utility bills. Not everyone is paid bonuses and enough to buy a new suit every week. Total plonker.

Not going to lie, this gives me a bit of hope. I'm really pleased to see that there is a shift among tory voters to desire nationalised utilities and services, to want more environmental issues to be front and centre. This is a great sign that there are yet people who can believe differently to me but with whom I could reasonably negotiate. It's far too easy to fall into tribalism on either side of the aisle and seeing that there are yet tory supporters who are willing to agree with left wingers over certain things as a big positive

I used to work for CAB. Lost my job in July cause the funding was pulled. I'll give myself a ring tomorrow and see if i can sort myself out.

I've never understood why some conservative types think that they're anti-establishment punks. "I joined to piss off my parents" etc. Hey Tories, GET IN THE FUCKING MOSHPIT

Under Maggie, I struggled not to get into debt, and ended up having to cycle 15 miles to work and back, when my car broke down and I could not afford to get it repaired. Eventually I was working, literally, with holes in the soles of my shoes. After five years of misery, I took voluntary redundancy, and moved abroad. The best thing I ever did. All the tories bring is misery for normal non millionaires, just as they are doing now. They are a curse on the UK.

That young Tory with the silly hat on is definitely 3 kids in a trenchcoat

This is giving huge "if you're homeless, just buy a house" vibes

"Just don't get into Debt" fucking genius...

as an outsider, It is utterly baffling to see so many young Tories in England

Some of the disconnection here from reality really shows why we are where we are. And the admission of horrific mistakes yet the willingness to still back the ideology that led to them. My personal faves :- 2:36 - "if you want economic competence (conservatism is the right answer)" 3:16 - "honesty, truth, integrity- has that been lacking recently? In the leadership" 5:38 - "personally I want them to be renationalized. And a lot of conservatives do now. They should never have been privatized" - (energy companies)

“I don’t think people should be joining other parties just because they don’t like the conservatives” This video is a great example of why we’re in the shit we are in.

A people that elect corrupt politicians are not victims …..but accomplices’. - George Orwell

People wouldnt be in debt if the Tories hadn't privatized everything and made basic needs an expensive luxury

"I'm falling from a plane without parachute" "Bro... just grow wings"

"you pick where you go at 17" Noppeeeeeee.

“Good at managing the country.” “Only party to empower people” “If you want a party good with the Economy”. So delusional.

"Homeless? Just buy a house!" - A tory, probably.

What have I just been witness to? The other day my elderly next door neighbor gave her grandchild some money to buy a milkshake as a treat and her grandchild had to return and ask for more money because the price has suddenly gone up. This is genuinely going to turn good people to crime. It's terrifying and it seems that these individuals don't understand that desperate people will do whatever it takes to get by. People with more than they need should learn to keep their mouths shut for their own safety because Charles Darwin was not wrong.

It helps to understand that for many people life isn't a search for happiness, it's a search for someone willing to tell them what they want to hear. Once these people have their comfort opinion externalised by another party they will stop the search and build defences around it. It's a form of keeping fear at bay, feeling secure, and it can be very successful if no particularly or immediately dangerous ignorance is held. It works until it doesn't, which lets it spread like any other behaviour.

"We should have the right to send rapists away without the interference of the ECHR." - Why don't you just send half of the Tories to Rwanda then?

Asking a Tory about the cost of living is like asking a fish about life on mars.

It's surprising how much common ground there is to be found here - support for nationalisation, support for more urgent climate targets, etc Why then are they in a party that has absolutely no intention of ever doing these things?

The utilities should come under state control? That puts that particular Tory to the left of Keir Starmer and that says quite a lot about British politics.

"If you want economic competence..." Are you having a fucking giggle mate. Have you SEEN the state of the economy after every single conservative government?!

The I'm Alright Jack supporters speak up. Pass the sick bag.

The Tories and economic competence in one sentence 😂😂😂

I used to think that Harry Enfield’s “Tim nice but dim “ was a make believe character but after seeing this I realise that his ilk really exists! Some people actually care about society and become porters, teachers, care workers, fire fighters, refuse collectors etc and should be well paid to create the base for a stable society. Ultra rich people don’t need any more help; that’s why we have a trickle up economy! Since the 1970s ASLEF and RMT have fought well for decent wages for some of their members and even they haven’t kept up with inflation. Since David Cameron was prime minister the average UK person’s spending power has fallen compared to the French, Germans, Dutch, Australians, Canadians etc. and on average we would need to earn £8,800 per annum extra to catch back up according to IFS and OECD! These figures were compiled before the energy increases! A bloke said that his parents came to the UK with £500 so what! When did they arrive and what support / connections did they have? If it was the 1960s for example that would have been a lot of money! Just because most people aren’t banker or property developer types they seem to patronise them.

Now you can understand why we are in the mess we are in when you hear this lot. The lack of empathy is staggering,I voted Tory because mummy and daddy did about sums up this lot.

2:30 "I don't think that people should be joining the other parties just because they don't like the Conservatives." ... Just take a moment to absorb how utterly moronic that sentence is

I can’t believe how many said “because I’m working”. Mate there’s people working two jobs and still having to go to food banks. Just wait until proper winter comes around. We’re all going to be freezing to death. Last year was bad enough. Never mind this year.

THAT VAN AT 1:24!!!! Please tell me this was you JOE ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did she really just say "People shouldn't go join other parties just because they hate the conservatives"? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sorry I had to stop 2 minutes and 42 seconds in. I just can't. These people are utterly delusional.

1st dude is really trying to protect his virginity at all costs.

It'd be really interesting to ask the same questions to the same people now and see what they think.

The guy in the trilby hat just screams "Wanker!"

If it gets to the point where we’re unable to purchase food, people like this should be first on the menu

I was suprised by the one bloke who was like if you are in trouble seek the citizens website and also talk to your energy provider, these are valid points

listening to someone speak whilst hearing two pieces of music playing in the background certainly is challenging

These are the ppl that are picking our leader? 😩 we are done for

The “I’m alright Jack” crowd. Shut the hatch, let the rest drown.

Neither Party has the people's best interest in mind. The sooner we realise that, the sooner things improve.

Did I really listen to someone say we can trust conservatives with the economy.

energy bill increase from peer nations : Italy 89%, Germany 38%, USA 6%, France 4% : The UK 178% and by the end of the year over 400% increase. There is a lot this government can do and they are doing non of it, because they care more about big business profits some of which are going to the French government as they own EDF. They care more about those profits, than the people of this country of which some will not make it through the winter.

One joker at 2:32 says if you: 1) Want economic competence 2) Want a government that is strong on law and order 3) Want a government that is very supportive of the police and armed forces 4) Want a government that supports the monarchy and our traditions Then Conservatism is the only philosophy for this. I'd like to remind him: 1) Highest tax burden and £2.3 trillion debt 2) Rape convictions at record lows 3) Still fewer police than in 2008, and armed forces figures have been declining every year since 2010. 4) The last prime minister lied to the queen, prorogued parliament, ripped up the ministerial code, defended corruption within his own party, broke the law, and promoted a sex pest..... Yeah.... Conservatism.....

I’m sure for many Brits it would be a dream come true to see 90% of the Tory party in power or who have been in power arrested for gross negligence, corruption, abuse of power, etc.

There is no way these people live in the same England as I do...

"The environment is the biggest issue" - man voting for a conservative government who doesn't believe in Climate change

Are these people living on the same planet as us ???

"Can't get on the property ladder? Just buy a house, idiot." - A Tory Supporter

“Just don’t get into debt” Does that apply to England as a trading country as well?

Tory voters out here producing world class comedy. Oh yea, they're not joking...

Asking these Tories questions is equivalent to asking 3 year olds where they think babies comes from. 😂

At first glance, I thought the kid with the fedora was out of a scene from LA Noir as a joke 😂

"Just" is such a monumental word.

The concept that some conservative immigrants have, that their parents came to this country with 500 pounds and started a business, is utterly meaningless to the vast majority of people who cannot be self employed entrepreneurs. Some people have crucial healthcare jobs or work for the government. It is indeed the elderly and vulnerable that should be thought of by the richest within society.

I'm not on benefits, but I'm a professional public sector worker on a fixed wage (no matter what ridiculous hours I work), which is worth 20% less than 2010. I guess I'll take on a paper round! 👍

I've a heard of the 'Cat in the hat' but the 'Twat in the hat' is a new one to me.

This channel needs to change its UKposts description. It is not equally biased against everyone.

I admire the interviewer for being able to listen to such a carnival of nonsense respectfully.

I found it interesting that we had one person who was sane on environmental issues, someone who wanted nationalisation. I just don't get how that would lead you to the Tories, it also shows how a ranked choice voting system is important as it gives the Tories more choice to express individual points and put in charge governments who will do that.

"I don't think people should be joining the other parties just because they don't like the conservatives." Brilliant. Top Logic there.

'When were trying to send out undesirables' damn sounds familiar

"If you want a government that is strong on law and order conservatism is the only philosophy you should consider" did he forget the Prime Minister and Chancellor both being fined for breaking the law this year?

"The Party of Law and order." WTF ? Who cut the Police force by 21,000 staff ? With a Convicted Criminal Leader in No.10 ? Loonies the lot of them.

There seems to be a trend here where they say 'I'm working so I'm not effected by it (cost of living). They don't seem to realise that a lot ofpeople who will be effected by it are in full time 35 hour a week employment and the wages simply aren't enough after 12 years of stagnation and inflation.

2:35 somebody please find this guy and ask him about Tory "economic competence" now

Competence is a word that should never be used with reference to the Conservative party

It's actually hilarious to be told that many Tories want to nationalise utilities. 🤣🤣🤣

"the needy" - tells you exactly what you need to know about that man.

Can someone tell me what a mortgage is if it's not a form of debt?

The guy whose parents came over with £500 in their pockets is perhaps forgetting that they were possibly placed in social housing, received help with free healthcare, had welfare payments, etc, all of which are not in reality conservative principles. And the Labour Party is not anti enterprise it just wants more people to be treated fairly and not exploited. And the young woman who says that most young people are concerned about climate change does not see herself as one of those people. Why? Is she missing something? How are her children going to feel when facing all the hardships to health and indeed life, brought about because of climate change going to view this clip of their mother, effectively washing her hands of others trying to make her children safer?

Amazes me when people are waving placards’Rebuild the Economy’ during the leadership programs, WTF have the Tories been doing the last 12 years

Dude in the hat looks like Zuckerberg's secret love child lol

It is interesting to see the people of England get up in arms as soon as heating + eating becomes difficult for people whose status is not yet “poor” “disabled” “on benefits” or the other groups that they’ve happily ignored - or monstered - since the 2008 crash.

Notice all but 2 of the people gave individual solutions to a national problem, the naivety and ego to think people will not have tried those simple things. It's on the level of drunk down the pub no one listens to.

"I don't think people should join other parties just because they don't like other parties" She joined the conservatives just to annoy her parents...

Man in brown hat is exactly why the Torries need shutting down.

I'd fucking love all this lot to be interviewed again since this week kicked off. Hahah

There is such cognitive disonence. Most of them identify the issues: public ownership, cost of living and environment. But then think that the Conservative party are the ones to deliver on it. Bizarre to me.

Asking tories about the tory government is like asking a kettle not to boil.

That guy in the hat is really frightening me his eyes go completely black it's very sinister. Then he mentioned "Faragist sympathies" and disliking the ECHR and I got very worried by him. How are you feeling about the cost of living crisis: "it hasn't affected me yet." This is literally the problem with Conservative leadership at the moment. They are completely devoid of empathy. Also listening to a lot of these supporters it just shows how disengaged the politicians are from many of their own supporters and their needs.

Aged like a fine wine 👌

“Sound economic policy, law n order, strong economic growth “ where is this people living?!

Trouble with the 'dont get into debt' idea is I dont know anyone with 700 quid just lying around at the end of the month to pay the fuel Bill's.

You purposefully cut out part of what the guy in the grey blazer (with Ukraine pin) said at the start of the video to make him look bad... but then included his full response later in the video.

"At the age of seventeen, I decided what way I was gonna go, and I went right". So, in the twentyfive subsequent years, he never considered his justifications, nope, never. What's the point, these people are cultists.

Bring on the Revolution!

Imagine saying in an interview that the party you support hasn't talked enough about the issues that you say matter to you, and then saying you support them anyway... If they're not wanting to talk about them, wonder WHY?

Tories saying utilities should never have been privatised, I was a little stunned.
