I used to work in Logistics as an HGV driver for 12 years, going in bottles was a normal part of the job, along with sleeping in lay-bys, dealing with thieves slashing the curtains to steal what ever was in the trailer, doggers and all sorts. That's just when your out the yard. Not to mention the nutter forklift drivers and foreign workers who dont speak english, trying to get complex orders loaded in a second language is not easy! I feel like no one in the media has any clue what being working class is actually like, day in day out. What you think of as "shocking" is totally normal and even quite funny sometimes, we use a lot of black humour to get through but we do get through. Honestly I don't feel a lot of sympathy in particular for the Amazon workers, but I do feel anger at the owners for extreme tax avoidence. This whole angle of going for sympathy will not resonate with the working class, we are tough and hardy and get shit done, we don't want any sympathy, just a fair wage and our bosses to be accountable. Maybe get a mortgage one day, and have our kids educated properly, while our bones get fixed when we break them. I don't want a silly desk job, even if I was offered it, I enjoy the hard work, so try not to patronise people in favor of going after the real criminals at the top...cheers guys....
Just because you’ve put up with it doesn’t mean the rest of us have. Of course it’s shocking, and of course they deserve sympathy. They’re forced to work under awful conditions. You deserve my sympathy too.
The westmids love in at 22:00 is exactly what I needed to take the taste of the Vox Pop Golden Boy Ed 'the filth' Campbell did in Tamworth before the by-election vote. And finding out the Oobah is from down the road was nice, I would like to say that Redditch is almost as vocal about not wanting to associate with Brum as those in the border of Sandwell and Dudley (the disputes were 500 years ago and fuelled by 3 families who didn't give a damn about the people of Birmingham, Dudley, or Sutton... Can we let this go)
I don't doubt that Oli saw someone doing a Nazi salute at a Blues game, because there are always idiots in football crowds who refuse to control their behaviour. It's disappointing that Oli's story came out of Ed completely misunderstanding the point of the Zulu name, though. It came out of football firms from other clubs, most of whom were affiliated with the National Front, chanting 'Zulu! Zulu!' at Birmingham City supporters because there were people with different skin colours standing together. Part of the genesis of the Zulus as the first multiracial football firm was effectively anti-racist self-defence. So, sadly for Oli, it is unlikely that the Small Nazi Salute would go down particularly well at Birmingham City at all.
I'm a student at Coventry university and when I was in first year they were advertising jobs on the main road that runs through campus. They weren't a hit. No one would talk to them 😅😅
Comedy is a great tool, Amazon being associated with bottles of piss is probably more effective than a really distressing documentary which shows the inhumanness of their actions. #BottlesOfPiss
@@barnaclefelching4079 I'm not sure that is a side effect. Usually mad headaches after the inflatey head feeling and. evidently, a pliable bunghole. Ava just seems to pick on Ed a bit. Makes me sad. I'm sure there is more to it, but i also find it funny, if i'm honest.
@@richardallan2767 yea, I've only ever found it to be funny too, Ava doesn't seem capable of cruelty, but I'm a professional moron so could easily be wrong
I don't think it would happen, as Amazon can just threaten to take away their services from the UK and labour would cower back into their neoliberal cul-de-sac. Would have to counter it by subsidising a competitor to get off the ground, not necessarily a public ownership, but potentially a private company where all the staff (or customers) are an equal shareholder by law (Yanis Varoufakis has mentioned this recently as a possible alternative to 'neo feudalism'). Unfortunately The Royal Mail was sold off, otherwise could have potentially been modernised to be a competitor, and then they could have changed the law so the likes of Amazon have to pay tax and treat workers properly, it would take a lot of clever thinking, courage and integrity to get us out of this mess we're in.
Desperation and needing to pay bills and eat. That’s how they get away with it. They take advantage of people needing money to live. And in some areas there is much other work about.
@@christopherwhittaker2620 in America there’s whole small towns where the only employment is Amazon. What a dystopian future. Thank god we ain’t there yet
If you actually give a shit about how Amazon staff are treated then boycott Amazon. Or is it all just a big joke ? Seriously? People have become unwell after working for Amazon. Becoming depressed and even suicidal. But ya ha he he ? Anyone with any integrity will not purchase anything from Amazon. Shame it can’t be said for the presenter here.
@@tuvaaq I don’t use any of those things. Just because you do don’t assume I do as that makes you look rather silly. And let’s stick to the point. The presenter said he literally purchased something from Amazon straight after watching the documentary about them and their bad treatment of staff. You might be ok with such immense hypocrisy. I’m not. Simple as that really. Now off you pop sweetheart. You’ve probably got your Netflix to watch 👍👍
..it would have been nice if you could have given a little more focus to the union issue...Idk if you dod because sometimes the jokes and revery do take over from the seriousness of the issues you talk about.Maybe its just that you are all still quite young and given another 10 years or so you won't find it as easy to laugh about all these issues. Please I wish a little more fosu on the issues which actually came up in the documentary especially around surveillance,tax avoidance and stopping of unionisation
The amazon documentary was proper shite sorry. Undercover parts were cool but that was about 10 mins of footage... the rest of it is cringey gags, poor editing, didn't feel right at all!
Ed “The Filth” Campbell
Top notch credits in this video
Oobahs a legend, all his content is funny yet for the Greater good. What a geezer. Can't wait for his future productions
Great to see Boris is finally doing something productive since leaving office! (jk good work Oobah!)
Amazing production. Well done Oobah!

I have just watched the documentary and it is an amazing insight and I am truly disgusted with amazon for what has been uncovered in this.
I caught part of the show without realising what it was and just watched in horror as two toddlers ordered boxes of rat poison and loads of knives. 😮
Class documentary, I'd recommend anyone to watch it!
Where's that documentary?
@@Meinthor Channel 4 in the UK.
Having watched the documentary, you got it so spot-on 👌
great documentary, thanks for highlighting it.

Did you take part in any dogging?
Were you fired for pissing too much? Or was it CCTV and GPS tracker that got you for going to slow? Is that why you changed your job?
@@UkSapyy The GPS tracker gets you for going too fast. The routing software gets you for going too slow.
Can I just say for the record Ava's sweater is awesome ... want one
Looks like she’s going to blend in with the backdrop, Predator style.
She went to Sherwood Forest lol😂
Yep well I've cancelled my prime membership today - thanks Oobah!
Loved the documentary Oobah, and I think the humour carried the real message well. Also nice to see Ava relaxed for once.
Damn, poor chap looks like the lovechild of Boris Johnson & Anne Widdecombe 😂

Oli should trademark that Small Nazi Salute, it'll be huge at Birmingham FC
😂 💀
I don't doubt that Oli saw someone doing a Nazi salute at a Blues game, because there are always idiots in football crowds who refuse to control their behaviour.

Is this documentary available on Prime?
On channel 4 documentaries channel today.
Is the advert with Ed ad Alastair Campbell's son still on TH-cam?
Ed just got back from Tamworth, unsurprisingly he is filled with contempt ....
Thats so relatable. I used to live in Derby, its taken years for the contempt and resentment to fade…
At least there is some vindication from Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire. Two massive overturned majorities!
Lmao TIL that Oli Dugmore went to the private school that was literally next to the comp I was at.
Don't take it on the chin Ed, gave me a flashback to your community service in the slammer !!
@19:44 Oobah realises he might have misjudged this interview
I'm a student at Coventry university and when I was in first year they were advertising jobs on the main road that runs through campus. They weren't a hit. No one would talk to them 😅😅
Love Oobah's work, think he works great with team, I reckon you should get him doing Vox pops if he's up to it? Cheers for the bonus episode...
Ed! What did you do to deserve the wrath of Ava?
Who saw the thumbnail and thought it was Anne Skiddybum?
reminds me of old Mark Thomas & Michael Moore content ..
Content hands is on thin ice rn won't lie :D

Wonder if labour will start to work on the tax loop holes of company’s like Amazon ,Starbucks etc
I don't think it would happen, as Amazon can just threaten to take away their services from the UK and labour would cower back into their neoliberal cul-de-sac.

@@christopherwhittaker2620 in America there’s whole small towns where the only employment is Amazon. What a dystopian future. Thank god we ain’t there yet
Desperation as no other jobs. Also, those claiming JSA often get forced to accept jobs at Amazon.
