Thomas Parker The Guardian has always been left wing, just as the Times has always right wing. I prefer this, so your comment about British people not liking it is evidently false. If you don't like it, lump it.
It truly is amazing to hear so many disillusioned people on the views of the Scottish!! We get free prescriptions,university fees because we pay for it through our taxes especially when we pay the highest proportion of tax per head than anywhere else in the UK & have done so for the last 35 year. Also this nonsense that people don't want the Snp in government after we voted in the referendum to stay part of the UK system is scanadoulous, does that mean the views of the scots aren't welcome in the UK (that we voted to stay part of) & we should shut up get back to chasing haggis,drinking irn-bru and do as were told.

G96Saber Wow, how dumb can you get? Firstly it says these are ESTIMATES!!! i.e not actual. Second it claims this is 80% of tax but "they do not include revenue not collected by HMRC", then place this excluded figure on top of the UK figure to make it look the highest. But this is the UK figure and includes Scotland. If you look at England, Scotland, Wales and N.I. which one is the highest? Oh, that would be Scotland, you just dismissed your OWN argument.
Mgtowpia ... Take off 'North Sea Oil', you absolute moron. You didn't earn that; you are just lucky enough to have it there. Then who has the highest tax revenue? England.
G96Saber Yes, if you start fiddling with the numbers, I am confident you can make them tell the narrative which works best for you. Tell me, if Scotland is as big a drag on the UK economy as you'd have us believe, then why did the UK fight to keep Scotland as a member, and continually block the people of Scotland from handling their own money? This is the crazy thing: England have been stirred up into fearing the Scots stealing all their money, when all that poll after poll says is that they want Home Rule - which means all they want is to keep _their own money!_ I can't understand why the two sides are at odds when they fundamentally want Scotland to have the same thing - their running their own affairs. Oh no wait that's a lie, I do know what it is: it's all the Westminster Propoganda. Too busy fearing the 'scrounging Scots' to be asking questions about why the NHS is being sold off at a record rate, or why a paedophile ring that operated in Westminster for *decades* still hasn't been fully investigated. No no, it's them damned Scots who are the problem, right?
I was cycling through England on my Land's End to John O' Groats tour and although most people I met seemed very nice, I was still amazed at the racist and anti Scottish attitudes which I encountered down there.
When I saw the election result for Nuneaton I thought she looked professional and a young mature candidate, but after watching this in hindsight I feel different now. Looks can be deceiving I suppose...
5:07 lady is absolutely spot on. The brutally honest reality is that the majority of people that need to use food banks simply cannot budget or spend properly.
Thank you for putting this series together. It's been very entertaining and insightful to watch.
Ewan Marmo Bissell No problem Ewan. I think there's going to be a short post-election video as well. Keep your eyes peeled.
The Guardian Hey stop being such biased left wing politicly correct ***** :) The British do not like it.

jellyberg You are probably a little immigrant scrounging of the UK and depriving the UK's children of opportunity in the future.
Thomas Parker Nope, lived here all my life. I see you're incapable of having a rational discussion so let's leave it there shall we?
"Bye world, I won't survive if Cameron gets in again." hahaha
Wonder where he is now....
Depressing to hear so many ill-informed comments. And these people have a vote in a constituency were it really matters. God help us!
slothkingn1 True. It makes you wonder how these people can so fail to realise when they are being repeatedly misinformed and basically lied to.
I'm sorry but the comments on Scotland were just disgraceful. I fear for this 'United' Kingdom
6:32 That guy thinking all of that is a bad thing. XD
So many misinformed people. It makes me sad.
There's so many ignorant comments in this video it's difficult to know where to begin!
“Ignorant” aka you don’t like reading alternative opinions
insightful, entertaining and educational very good series. thanks for the uploads.

Eye opening. If they're not going to grant journals access why should we at the doorstep

Excellent perspective as always !

2015 UK General Election: in the eyes of a nursery child kids!
She's got a point, have a look
5.08 yerr ok SNP coming 4 you. Moooo HAAA Haaa

big time foreshadowing at the end
im sad Labour lost but im glad she didnt get elected she isnt Labour at all comes across as a little madam.
When I saw the election result for Nuneaton I thought she looked professional and a young mature candidate, but after watching this in hindsight I feel different now. Looks can be deceiving I suppose...
3:16 Good that the only Labour candidate they could get was from the local girls school. Maybe it was Owen Jones's girlfriend. Oh no, he is gay lol.
Ukip policies are commonsense but does anyone bother to read lol. Its policies not colour. :)
5:07 lady is absolutely spot on. The brutally honest reality is that the majority of people that need to use food banks simply cannot budget or spend properly.
Not true, but okay.
And if there are cases like that, it's because of the conditions of where they live or have grown up.
Is the scotch get in well we are done for.
They get everything buckshee up there don't they.
