    The fact that people still believe austerity worked shows how badly our media, politicians, and education system have failed.

      Children aren't taught to ask questions in school anymore, it's only to accept narratives and given answers. Parents are responsible too, it is up to them to teach reality and make up for the shortfalls in the education system, unfortunately many of them are distracted by vacuous nonsense instead of being aware of legitimate global problems.

      The country is over £1tn in debt, we could halve the size of the state and it would take decades to pay that back. We socialised bad bank debt on 2008,we should have let them to go to the wall. Another financial crisis is lurking in the shadows (sovereign debt, this time). What do you suggest?

    David Cameron was elected in 2010 saying they would pay the debt off in one term of government, then he is responsible for the referendum. So for the caller suggesting he needed more time, I refer you to Cameron himself. This where we are now because of the divisive rhetoric and lies & people keep falling for it.

      The referendum was the best thing he did. At least he stuck to his word if he didn't come back from Brussels with a better deal for UK, then he would hand the decision to the public. How brexit has turned out is down to the incompetence of the MPs dealing with it. Not the public for voting for it or to Cameron for implementing the referendum.

      You guys should eventually move towards a hybrid insurance system like in The Netherlands. The costs increase according to income, from basically free all the way up to around 100 quid a month. Dont get me wrong, its still very much a national health service, you are not even allowed not to be insured, its just that wealthy people need to chip in a bit more. I myself am at arounf 35k a year and I still get almost half of the insurance costs refunded by the state, and I am really not to concerned with the 50/mo that this costs me. I mean, I can get a GP appointment tomorrow if I want. Another advantage is that these insurance companies buy the healthcare packages from the providers and they do have a commercial interest so they are much more competative than the state paying for everything through tax. And like I said, people on minumum wage or on benefits like single moms, kids and the elderly get everything refunded so it isnt anything like whats going on in the US.

    It's not about policies, it's just about finding them superficially likeable.
    It's the primary reason Boris Johnson beat Jeremy Corbyn.
    People will vote against their own best interests, and against the best interests of others they love - simply because they think they'd enjoy sitting down and having a pint with them more.

    I've heard this guy's modulated voice before.
    His name wasn't Fenn before.
    He was talking about Brexit and James ran rings around him then too!
    He's obsessed!

    To anyone who thinks this is a set up, 2 things.
    These people definitely exist and genuinely think they can get one over on James.
    Also, if you think you can do better than the pillock on the phone, give James a call, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to show you up on national radio as well

    It's amazing to me how these conservative minions come on live radio,to expose their abject ignorance to the country. 😅

    As much as i did like Cameron. He should never have offered a referendum to the country with no guidance on results. Should have stipulated that it needed a majority of 60% but it was actually pretty much 50/50 and divided the country.

    Spending on the NHS has gone up because of inflation and forcing trusts to use private for profit companies. Spending per capita has actually been reduced.

      The tories don't actually spend money on the NHS itself really at all. It gets funelled out to outsourcing. They don't allow the NHS to spend it internally.

      How has spending per capita been reduced? If the expenses for service have gone up plus inflation

      ​​​@@jamesjacob21as I said in the comments, the Tories don't actually allow the NHS to spend the money they ring fence. It gets fuelling out to the private sector. The NHS aren't allowed to spend it themselves. Goes out to their big business mates with corporate interests in healthcare. It's corruption.

    Why is it that the people who whine the loudest about the debt are also the ones who will scream the loudest against raising taxes to pay it off.

    I'm at the point where I want people to have to pass an IQ test before they're allowed into a voting booth. A country gets the governmnet it deserves, and it's clear we are a country with a staggeringly vast number of absolute muppets.

      We don't!!! we get to vote every 5 years or so, that's it, a democracy is a civilised society where we look after one another and support disadvantaged people and respect minorities, I think the conservatives have their own definition@@kev7552

    Cameron is responsible for Brexit, he caved in to UKIP offering a referendum after he renegotiated Britain’s terms and conditions of membership. He went to the EU, claimed he renegotiated the deal when he hadn’t, held the referendum campaigned terribly, lost, then buggered off leaving someone else to sort out the mess, which hasn’t been done.
