Watching this in January 2023 in the U.S., I think it's interesting that the British politicians wanted to take care of old people to keep their vote. Here the Republicans now want to take away social security and Medicare for the elderly after they spent their entire working lives paying into them. Since there is a decimated middle class here, I wonder who they think will have the ability to take in all of these elderly people. Weird part is the elderly tend to vote conservative, so screwing them is crazy.
@odman69Рік тому
The Conservatives keep raising the age of retirement (they're currently proposing at 70) so that there are fewer people to pay. They really don't care about the elderly; witness their sending to care homes, thousands of old people from hospital during the first year of the pandemic, thereby wiping out thousands more. They're a burden on the government.

The bit about the racks (bunks, to civilians) on the submarine is a bigger deal then they make out. Because of the crew required to man a submarine and the space limitations, it was not uncommon on earlier classes of submarines for sailors to have to "hot rack," share a bunk. They didn't literally sleep together; rather, they were on opposite shifts and one was sleeping while the other was on watch, then swapped out.

O"Donnell almost seems sane, in retrospect. Ian called it when he once explained to a guest that the US has a conservative party and a VERY CONSERVATIVE party, since we haven't had a true Liberal party in a couple of generations, and it wasn't that liberal.

Wow! $25,000 is middle class in Britain?! Here in the U.S., you'd have to earn twice that to even approach what we call middle class.
@odman69Рік тому
That's because the Conservatives are determined to keep the working class in their place.
@marywood8794Рік тому
@@odman69 They are here too. You just can't afford to live in most of the U.S. on $25,000. I thought that the U.K. was similiar, so if that's true, $25,000 is the top end of the poor, not middle class.
@jeffnettleton3858Рік тому
25,000 pounds, not dollars; roughly (as of April 2023) $31,000 USD.
@marywood8794Рік тому
@@jeffnettleton3858 Okay. Still $31,000 isn't middle class in the U.S. by at least $19,000 a year.

Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
