"Shouldn't you be on Twitter trying to get a university lecturer sacked..." So many gems. Great work!
Very kind, Emma. Please do share far and wide if you can x
"If it's not hurting, you're doing it wrong. Now shut up, and get back to work, plebs."
Exactly!
This channel is so underrated. Incredibly accurate and well put together.
Brilliant, spot on and sadly completely accurate. Plus a smattering of funny names. If only this could be broadcast to the whole country just before the evening news on TV.
Deserves a much, much wider audience.
Thanking you - please share!
Yep. Keep calm and carry on....😂
Thanks for bringing me right up to date with the latest news. Much appreciated, guys.
Our pleasure, Chewie. More next week x
Absolutely brilliant, perfect summation of the world today
We're screwed, aren't we? Please do share if you feel so inclined x
@@larryandpaul I'm an author on psychology in the collapse of civilisations - yes the UK is screwed and no Labour can not save it. The UK has reached a point called interconnected cascading systems failure. OR - everything is broken and everything you need to fix. It is also broken.
America has also reached this point, but the sheer scale of America and the momentum that carries means the decline will be much slower in America than it is in the UK
But what it's important to remember is that this happens to countries all the time and people live through it. The vast majority of people in the vast majority of collapsing civilisations, never even knew it was happening. The reason we know is we have TV and social media. It really is a kind of "the only thing to fear is fear itself" situation.
This is the list of contributing factors to societal collapse:
Plague / disease Yes
Environmental change Y
Massive wealth inequality Y
Loss of the administrative class Y
The government stops governing Y
Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Y
Loss of faith in the political system Y
Economic collapse Y
Exposed obvious corruption Y
Crumbling infrastructure Y
Mismanagement of a crisis Y
Societal division Y
Loss of belief in the unity of the society Y
Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Y
Increased isolationism Y
Rising internal violence Not yet
Excessive spending on military / arms race Yes - starting
Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / inflation Y
If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18.
---§---
The UK will have a very hard 20 years followed by 20 years of rebirth followed by 20 years of boom. It's just what happens in the UK just happens to be at the bad bit.
How much do I wish this was an actual broadcast. Small boats week has been a f@cking nightmare on steroids.
Yeah - sums it up nicely
Thank you. Do please share x
I am in awe of your greatness. And also grinning. Thanks.
That's way too kind. But please do share it!
Superb. Deserves the sub.
Thanks!!
Also spending billions on people who never paid and never will pay tax to live here.
Yes we know billionaires always hide their money in tax havens and we need to concentrate on getting these real leeches paying some tax.
"Big Fat Cooks"
We had to slip it in somehow. Thought you'd like. Was all feeling a bit serious x
Oh, spot on! I wish it wasn't but that summed up everything perfectly. 😫 Keep up the good work. 😊
Yes, we're all in a bit of a pickle. If you were able to share this video far and wide, we would be in your debt x
Very accurate broadcasting. Keep it up!
Thanks, Sam! We shall certainly try. If you were able to share this video we would love you long time x
As a geography teacher, I basically cry myself to sleep at night seeing 'pretend to care about the climate' listed 9th on prospective PMs to-do lists. There's no BUPA for climate change.
Spot on
Horribly accurate
Love the ‘Live from Davos’ Location, surely is the A40 at Acton or similar 😂
It is if you take a very wrong turn on the M1 at Watford and don't notice for a few hours. 😅
Lovely story!❤
It's not even satire anymore though, is it.
"His wife's just left him, but he's still got the kids" 😂🤣😂
Good to know someone reads the small print! Please share if you're feeling generous x
@@larryandpaul I have done so this morning
Cheers guys!
so true😂
What a lovely story
Satire at its best 👏
Earning there billions more are they
Yup!
Horribly accurate, even applying to the dear old BBC, which has become a soporific with gameshows, gardening, DYO and competition programs, with the token Question Time to placate everyone.
Thank you - please share!
Favourite yet 🎉😂
Thank you! Please share it!
Davos has changed 😂
Click like, click play, with Larry & Paul, it's always the way. 👍😄
Sound advice!
That was very funny.
Daniel gash & Johnny Ringpiece - Just the kind of highbrow humour I enjoy!🤣
In my previous job I used to keep a list of some of the names of applicants i dealt with.
P.S. These are all real. Enjoy!
Solicitors:
- Green & Gaunt.
- Wright Hassle.
- Bodget, Blewitt & Blunder.
Applicants:
- John Thomas (there were lots of these).
- Mr Schitz
- Mr. W. Anchor
- Wayne Kerr
- Dick Cheeseman
- Two brothers Chris Peacock & Drew peacock (say them quickly)
- Mrs Fuk Hin Hoa (Best said in a Geordie accent)
- A couple called Neal & Sukme
My two favourites;
1) Mrs Anal.
When she rang and her name popped up on her screen I asked her to confirm her name, D.O.B, etc 'for security reasons' but really to check how she pronounced her name and that someone hadn't changed it on the system as a joke. She pronounced it like canal. Thinking I'd dodged a bullet I then asked what her query was:
"It''s about my retention..."
How I didn't lose it at that point I've no idea.
2) Urike Hund
I can tell you it's very hard to stay professional on the phone to someone with that name, especially when all your colleagues are crying with laughter! He was a brummie with German parents. Fantastic name made even better by his strong accent and the fact he worked in a customer complaints department. I used to imagine him answering the phone:
"Customer Complaints, Urike Hund. How may I help you?"🤣🤣🤣
Love this!
I had a teacher once called Joyce De 'ath. We often thought she had simply added the comma and space so she wouldn't get it so mercilessly off the kids!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. (From Australia birthplace of a certain media magnate).
You're very welcome. More where that came from! Love to down under (NOT a euphemism) x
I for one am grateful to our lizard overlords for pointing out our priorities
Thank you. Please obey (and share).x
Argh, there's a Tribble on your Ringpiece! 😱😱😱
Will get it looked at!
@@larryandpaul Just make sure you keep it away from any visiting Klingon's, could be a very painful experience!
👌.. 👏
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you - please share!
🎯
You're talking down Britain 😜
Nice work guys.
Thanks Adrian x
Spot bloody on! ❤️
Thank you! Please share it!
Very clever
Thank you - please share! L&P x
You are the most realistic 😂😂
Thank you - please share!
helpful
yeh, pretty much
Loving this ❤
Thank you - please share!
Where is this video statement?
Ummmmmm....
If we get a billion views, we'll share it!
Still very topical even 9 months after you made it.
I would like to add some erudite commentary on your satirical takes, but I am still tittering at "Johnny Ringpiece"
You should have been in the office when that name was suggested. It's all about the light and the shade, baby.
Is the Conservative Party the New Cambridge Analytica? With you need a postal vote send you personal information to us and we sort it out for you? Sketch for you?
Yet no good for the working class or pensioners disabled another words total crap..
