Carol Vorderman hears how 'dirty money' is funding politics

- Carol Vorderman speaks to investigative journalist Tom Burgis about his fascinating new book, Cuckooland, which delves into how the rich can buy everything - even the truth.
Over a three-year span, Burgis followed a lead that immersed him in the enigmatic realm of Cuckooland, where the wealthy hold sway over the narrative.
In his pursuit, he 'tracked down oligarchs, cultivated discreet sources, and traced substantial financial transactions weaving through multinational corporations, former Soviet leaders, and the governing elites of the Western world.'

We need fewer multi millionaire public school boys and girls who are also part time MPs.
There's enough money in the system for every UK citizen to be at LEAST on a middle class income.....the question is why is that not the case
This is why public schools need to be outlawed. I think you'd see a huge difference in our political landscape.
Carol Vorderman is currently worth a whopping £18million according to Spears. Not bad for a 2 minute slot in an afternoon TV show.
@@wobkgs and she STILL calls out the rich criminals .
The ones who already have money they earn or inherited may have some conflicts of interest, but those are easier for public enquiry to discern.
The problem is MPs who come into new money via inappropriate influence.
When the rich are capable of convincing the masses that it's not them, but the poor, the marginalised and the desperate that are the problem you know they've succeeded in constructing an alternate reality.
In the past when people felt financial pressure they used to hound the rich. Now they blame the poor.
There is two sides to that conclusion although many are seeing clearly the diatribe used to hide facts and obliterate freedom and justice I have came to realise many poor people are impressed by the money moguls many wishing to be as they are. Also I know for a fact for over 200 yrs there have been extremely influential and highly praised wealthy entrepreneurs who make wealth from the poor. Who only give back crumbs from the table they feast upon and tell all they are Philanthropic. I can give one big example.
So true.
Straight out of the fascists playbook.
WHO funding is a cliche I know..but only because it's true...
Playbook? Are you American?
_"When the news is for profit, the truth goes to the highest bidder."_
Time to stand up against this corruption.
and do what?
That ship sailed decades ago, now we’re being rewarded for our own ignorance and cowardice.

If they can control the masses they can cirtainly control you....sorry it's the bottom line
The founder of that law firm, Peter Carter-Ruck, asked Private Eye to stop spelling his second surname with an 'F'. They responded by also spelling his first surname with an 'F'.
Even in the UK the government and opposition are influenced by big companies and rich individuals who make donations to the parties or MP's
Yes see the donations for windmills to landfill!!
The people ought to rise up then

There trying to scare you now shouting about Putin and war, conscription, they are losing the power, so they are very dangerous right now and have no quams about starting a war world war to deflect you's, 😂😂😂
@@tonyrobinson362Watching neither, reality is hard enough to overcome when myopia and cognitive dissonance abound.
Great interview Carol. Keep exposing the truth
Not exactly,you'd have to remove the plastic from her face to see the real truth.
@@Edward-cv2gwGet a life..
@@Edward-cv2gwYou have to be sarcastic and rude to try to make a childish comment that means nothing anyway.
Carol is famous, successful and intelligent.
You are a Keyboard Nobody, without the ability to even comment effectively.
Corruption in politics as been clear and evident for decades, the public just continue to take it, its getting close to boiling point.
I am so proud of Carol Vorderman she is such a strong woman keep going love
She would be a great Suffragette, for 2018 Campaign 🤗
Thank you Carol for this interview & thank you Tom for your work, trying to bring the truth to the people, stay safe!
@super You mean the LBC listernership dont you?😀
Corruption to the highest level will only stop with open government of the people for the people
Money opens doors wether you are rich or a big multi nationals , our politicians are easily bought ,they like to call it lobbying , but some are energy deals ,well that's effected us all .
On a similar subject, I'd also recommend 'Silent Coup' by Matt Kennard, an investigative journalist at Declassified UK
I've read it and it's definitely worth a read.
100%
I think Carol Vorderman should run as an mp. I would definitely vote for her. In fact, this amazing lady should run for PM. Carol would win with a landslide. Keep up the fantastic work you do. Please take care & stay safe.
We don't have a presidency, so she can't "run" for PM.
It's a nice idea, but people who go into politics to make a real difference for the masses are always sabotaged by those who are in it for themselves. Carol would be harrassed, threatened, marginalised and swamped for daring to speak truth to power. She is much more effective outside the cesspit as opposed to submerging herself in the muck. It's up to voters to wake up and actually vote. Voting doesn't make a difference unless you actually go out and do it. The people you don't want in power are the same people that don't want you to vote.
If she ran as an MP she would be silenced. She would be made to 'Toe the Party line'. She wouldn't be able to be so outspoken.
@@paulwilliamson-pm6yu duh 🙄
@@theworldaccordingto4555 How would she be silenced if she ran as an MP, especially if she ran as an independent?
I’m going to buy the book. I am convinced there are overlords that run things above the level of the governments we are allowed to know and see.
Save some cash and google Kit Klarenberg .. greyzone.. and start reading
Three families run the world. All governments are simply following orders. All military conflicts are pre-planned and are to stealthily move public funds into the hands of these families.
You are correct, it goes much further than you realise, you must have a strong stomach to know the absolute truth!!! everyone is watching a movie being played out, with appropriate actors playing major parts, watch The Fall of the Cabal by Janet Ossebaard, do research everything is out there. Carol is doing a great job in bringing this information to the public.
Carol speaks the truth, awsome woman...
What she said/done ?
Carol is exposing the corruption
Politicians lie but they need to report their lies as truth. Enter legacy media brought and paid for.
Private Eye often mentions Carter Ruck - they call them a slightly different name.
Mmm, can't think what variant that might be!🤣🤣🤣
Yes. This man is someone you must keep and eye on.
Shining lights in some very dark places.
The people that really make the world turn. When you find out that your politicians do not set the agenda. That these people are not the ones in power.
Very fascinating if you want to take your blinkers off and see the truth and horrors about our world
Stay safe young man we the public we need people like you
At all levels justice is owned by the rich and big organisations who can afford top lawyers and the costs prohibit ordinary people from taking action against them. The post office scandal is an example of what happens to little people when they challenge a big organisation
It's no coincidence of course that the Tories have decimated Legal Aid.
Thanks - time to put an end to corruption.
This has been going on for decades if you are wealthy enough you can impose your truth.
Ever since humans gathered in groups, Someone always wants more than everyone else

Carol, what about the money going into private industries which politicians have vested interests. A security company comes to mind for starters.
Surprised the guest is still alive!... He's living a charmed life.
Like AIPAC in the USA the Israeli lobby in the UK is lobbying exactly the same way and including donations.
Proof?
Well done Tom, brave man. I would like to hear more, have to investigate the book!
Well done Carol vorderman you are hero.
Most TV and radio presenter don't do there jobs they make life easy for tory s. Interviews
Carol vorderman stick to tell ing the truth it's the tory party that should be sent to Uganda for 5 years.
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.
Wow we all need to wake up to this.
Whitney Webb has is a fund of info .
Parties should never accept cash from any business, group, think tank or person. All parties should have an equal amount for campaigning supplied by taxes and MP'S should never have any other employment while they represent.
How comes a lobbyist can become a MP & vice versa... its surely a conflict of interest???
The IEA, Taxpayer's Alliance, Save Our Statues group, and Restore Trust (the 'anti-woke' NT lobby group) all have the exact same address next door to Tory Party HQ on Tufton St.
Thank you for this eye-opening interview!
I honestly think the poor are partly responsible for believing the messages the rich put out instead of being educated on key issues. If there was more awareness on the truth of issues like immigration, Brexit and inflation, the political landscape would be very different.
Why isn’t this all over the news
Who owns the news ???
Because it's not news.😊
Carter Ruck.
BBC is owned by Goverment, in return for there progander machine they give a blank cheque
Well what a shocker that headline was! Who'd have thought it?
It's the way of the world and has been for hundreds of years..I can't believe anyone is surprised buy this
Carol, people like you, James OBrien, Jonathan Pye, George Monbiet, Penny Toynbee etc keep me sane. This gov is unbelieveable and leaves me screaming into my pillow. So glad to hear that at least Talk Tv has gone and Gb news possibly on way out and with them the large salaries for talking nonsense by tory mps.
@catherine And the beeb will be next old girl!
Talk TV and GB news are moving online as people are using their smartphones to access their content.

@@wobkgs this is wealth accumulated since start of her media career. Her LBC slot is far longer than 2 mins and I don't think her salary has been disclosed. So I fail to see what your point is. Incidentally Rees Mogg was paid £500k for his slot on Talk TV.
It's more because they are haemorrhaging money, they'll lose half their viewers that can't use the tech @@sooge298
Carol we love you for this...More than Countdown, that's saying summit. x
How comes every time corruption is mentioned, the tories are mentioned in the same sentence?
Because they are the party in office. When Starmer’s PM the Labour Party will be getting the dosh. There’ll be some new dodgy customers on the scene but some of the old ones will jump ship. If Carol is still at LBC then I don’t think she’ll be attacking these people. Have a look at Global Media & Entertainment Ltd. LBCs owners.

Carol, this is happening in many Western democracies. Democracy faces a massive challenge never seen before. BTW I still love you.
Carol is brilliant.
Did Mercy, advertise for loan sharks as well?
I'm surprised he's still alive, if he's dealing with big oil.
Amazing lady thank you carol for the wake up information ❤️
Will the next labour government introduce legislation to make these crooked donors visible to voters. Sadly not! But they will complain about the dangers democracy is in and do nothing constructive ethical or intelligent to save it 😢
Love a longer interview Carol..Caught Gary Stevenson interview ..would love to get these guys and yourself together...Great video ..Many Thanks!
It absolutely is true you can buy the truth.
A headmistress in the U.K. sued a parent for libel in the not too distant past after said parent took to write various comments about them online under a pseudonym and even hid their identity via a VPN.
The argument from the parent was that said headteacher was unfit for the job, shouted and humiliated children etc..
This very wealthy head won their case and the parent had to payout a substantial sum.
Sadly, the truth is that various allegations made were true. Their witnesses were nothing but liars and as someone who actually witnessed some of the “alleged” behaviour from said headteacher, I was shocked and somewhat appalled by this.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this case until I left said school and wasn’t able to support the defendant.
Just goes to show that enough money will bring forth legal judgements which are far removed by reality.
How was their identity revealed if using VPN?
@cliffordbegley1139 I was surprised by this as well but they used a legal tool which is rarely used to gain this info.
Another strand to the "Londongrad" story. Plenty of lawyers, accountants & politicians helpful to those from abroad with money & no questions asked.
Putin supported Brexit, and the Brexiteers strangely didn't want to investigate.
When did Putin tell you that ? Did you have him over for tea or have you just made it up I wonder ?
And Scottish Independence, he also endorses Joe Biden....
Mr Gammon, where did you read that pap?
@@BOZ_11obviously, you haven’t been paying attention, have you?
@@pittarak1 That's why you're here, to enlighten us all. Do tell
I believe this 1000% and it HAS TO STOP
Brilliant work you are both doing. Highest regards from denmark.
The rich and powerful will always win because they set the rules. It's been that way for centuries. Even in those countries where's there's been revolution, the revolutionaries become the rich and powerful whilst the poor remain poor
'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.'
They've bought Carol.
Quite right,she’s not some lone podcaster fighting the globalists. She’s on LBC a subsidiary of Global Media & Entertainment Ltd.
Just ask the politicians, or the majority of the them
Carol is brilliant she exposes the corrupt tories. Perhaps she should start her political partie for truth
There are limits to her independence. She will not form a political party.
This has gone on for years. It will never change.
It's a great week for books as I've just received my pre-ordered copy of Gary Stevenson's "The Trading Game", and now it seems I've found another hidden gem in which to bury my nose. Thanks for the continually fascinating content, Carole, you truly are a national treasure.
Gosh !
Have we just found this out ?
NOT !!
Looking forward to reading this. 👍
Never stand between a politician and a lorry load of money.
In fact I'm going to get that printed on my t-shirt😂
I wonder if he included the so called “Prime Minister” in his book!
Israel lobby
It's heartbreaking the state of our country, the men and women who have ruined it need to be outed and held accountable!!!! But I feel it's getting worse 😔
This man needs more exposure
How about various 'friends' of political parties? That's pretty dark
Well Carole, love the way you have given Tom a platform on LBC and brought him over from your VIP work. Talking of which do your LBC listeners know you work for an organisation whose head is responsible for extreme animal cruelty, including fox murdering?
And you can name these organisations, the people, the sources you got this info from so we can all check this can you 🙄?

And somehow Carole's attempt to relay this message on her show is compromised - really
Truth and Power is interchangeable. There's nothing new about that.
it's been that way for a century at least..🤷♂️
The people think they can vote for change, They really cannot.
Can’t wait until these people start looking into why the rich are jumping ship to Labour….
It’s coming 👍
Can you provide a link? Intrigued.
All these parties are nothing but the same people in different shirts 👍
@@megane230f1 What we've witnessed politically since 2016 via Brexit Loonery and Maga is unprecedented . The scale of brazen lying the lack of accountability, the appalling quality of Govt Minister and the corruption. You'd need to be awake to spot it though.
@@earnestequivocation6250 corruption has been going on for decades, it has just upped another 10 levels

It's nice to see people talking about what socialists identified as inherent to capitalism in the 19th century.

@@wobkgs Yeah, not bad at all.
@@wobkgs what's your point?
Inherent to human nature. Shame they didn't spot that.
Free speech isn't cheap, you either pay with collective effort of wider society or it can be bought.
The rights that have been enjoyed for many decades are being given away as they are seen to have always existed. Corruption and bullies have always existed it's just how the population manages them that changes.
We are evolved from apes so can only realistically expect to see those traits endure.
Same as it ever was!!!
We need to ban poltical donations and 2nd jobs, and forign donations, or at the very least a cap of like £500 per person registered to vote. No more 500k tory dinners, no one is paying 500k for nothing..
Tell us summat we didn't know!
Thoughful !
UK,s class system wins again.🙏😂🤔🤔🤔
I actually have his first book Kleptopia but not read it yet.
@ 6:24 the memory of Sylvester Stallone in the Character, of Judge Dredd's dialogue "I am the LAW" struck me, I personally think, that a human that grows themselves, from our base level, To unbelievable, wealth, has to be such a greedy self-serving succubus/glutton, to be no further Human,
Thank you for mentioning Russia and Ukraine yet no mention of the countries in the middle east we trade with that are worse than Russia
I predicted back in the mid nineties almost exactly what is happening now with the rich and powerful corrupting the entire system. May be I should have written a book about it then.
You should have done because it's hard to prove you said that
@@glennbateman4483 I know
The narcissism from the rich, powerful and beautiful have destroyed this world...tired of them telling me how to live! its easy for them with £millions FFS!
I look forward to buying this book .

👏👏👏👏
Neil Hamilton in the 90's it was big news, gradually it has become not big news to the point where the likes of boris could literally be handed a suitcase full of cash live on tv and deny it.
Its funny these LBC presenters bemoaning the rich and powerful when they are the rich and powerful compared to most.
Also funny how the BrexitClown Party pretends to be Anti Establishment.

Always worth looking up Carter Ruck and Private Eye
The answer to his last comment is YESthey are doing it RIGHT NOW. Covid 19, Climate Change, the list goes on.
The quickest way to end public school employment dominance.
Public & private employers should be required to only offer menial jobs to privately educated. Only zero-hour contracts.
Investment should be scrutinised. Any question of dark money a full enquiry. If investments are found questionable then the investment is confiscated and prison.
100%
There a girl in my face book thing that thinks Carol should start a party with Lee Anderson, Tommy boby, and gorgeous George 😂😂
Excellent. Noam Chomsky has been saying a similar thing for several years now. But we are getting a very distorted view in the British media about the war in the Ukraine and it’s causes.
and we wont mention mega-millionaire Tony Blair in this.....will we ? 😆
