At least Macron has refused to send arms to Israel, while Germany and the UK were happy to assist. Macron being at the end of his presidency, I feel like he doesn't care anymore of the obvious repercussions that will certainly follow. Regardless, it's a good move for once. Ireland has been more exemplary on this though, denouncing Israel and refusing any help.
I’ve always been curious about englands leaders , does the king not get involved in any of this or does he just not care. I think out of site out of mind and he isn’t informed of anything the prime minister does. That’s what it looks like from outside looking in but you would know better since you live there.
Courts have previously found that anti-zionism is a protected belief under the Equality Act 2010. Thar doesn't make it not racist (as having transphobic beliefs is a protected belief) but it does suggest people seeing a difference
A few sanctions against a few unimportant individuals - another pathetic gesture, pretending that we really care about International Law/Humanitarian Law
The settlements are state-sponsored; they have an official position settlement minister. This policy is disingenuous by implying it’s against the will of the government!
They are also protected by the judiciary system plus when they do attacks they are supported by the IOF , these are two other principal organisations that need to be held to account
I have a question… what does a sanction on an Israeli settler do? Absolutely nothing, Israel is a settler colony… how do you think it started in the first place
Yes David, your strong words definitely altered how the genocidal regime treated ‘detainees’. They ended up gang raping them and then making the rapists heroes in their society. Stellar work by David Cameron there.
The actual Goebbels quote "The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the War was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing." See how he phrased it - every accusation is a confession.
Really unfortunate that Wes Streeting got narrowly elected... he's going to keep coming out with right-wing nonsense. Writing in the Telegraph tells you everything you need to know about him
@@rothwellaudio IT was close. I believe he did, as fairly as it is possible to win in a system that allows such huge private donations into politics. The election results were broadly a win for a left, but I agree, knocking Streeting out would've been a big deal for the left and especially for fighting against the despicable war being waged against transgender people.
Ozempic is not a long-term solution, economically speaking. It's been proven that as soon as you withdraw the drug, weight swiftly returns to pre-medication levels. You have to keep paying to keep the weight off. The drug-makers know this and would love to get a good portion of the UK population dependent on a permanent drug subscription. It's extremely financially lucrative for them. Without additional interventional approaches, specifically focused around tackling behavioural issues around food (food selection and psychological eating triggers), ozempic is a sticking plaster solution for a boil that never heals. It would be far, far, far, far, far better in terms of the health benefits to ease in taxation of ultra-processed food and use these funds to steer UK farming back towards producing more fresh food, and improving cooking knowledge and skills in the UK population. It would produce farming jobs, improve national health - which improves general productivity, and create more domestic food security to combat extreme weather that threatens our import-heavy food industries.
This sickens me, Cameron wouldn't stop and but show that he's unhappy with the encouragement of bad behaviour - psychopath and what a downplaying of events. Those ministers actually armed those illegal set.lers
Starmer is so weird. He seems to think giving taxpayer money to a pharma company is investment. Isn't it investment when they give YOU the money? This is just buying their product. If I buy a Maccy D's, I don't claim they invested in me. "Babe what are you having for dinner?" "Oh I'm not hungry, I got Gregg's to invest a fat baguette in me on the way home."
Great points Gebrial, though @ 10:15 You could have added that 1) the IDF often actively support the violence by defending the Settlers during their incursions, both being visible as a show of force and coming to the settlers defence if the Palestinians attempt to defend their land or themselves, 2) The Settlers sometimes impersonate IDF soldiers (made easier to do when the Government has issued you with military weapons, as you noted), which makes it more problematic for Palestinians to resist incursions for fear of reprisals. That said, I agree with your main argument that it's laughable - even hypocritical - for the UK govt to "Jazzy hands" settler violence over the exponentially greater, unjustifiable violence of the state.
On the Ozempic thing, you didn’t really discuss the actual crux of the matter here: we are ill. Just walk round a city, people look poorly, malnourished, never mind obese - that’s just a symptom, you can be 10 stone and still have a diet that’s slowly killing you, making you lethargic or putting you out of work. UPF is 100% the root problem that needs to be talked about and campaigned against by any government serious about dealing with a health crisis, not standing on a street corner waiting for Big Pharma to whistle at them. ALL conversations about dietary health should start with regulating the utter shite that is on our shelves. We can start pumping obese people full of weight-loss drugs so they look thin and productive, but they’re gonna still look like grey malnourished bobbleheads because they’re still skint and still buying the cheapest, easiest food to access - which is conveniently the most loudly advertised with special offers. Clearly there’s no simple answer as regulation on sugars, salts, preservatives and all the other crap in UPF will not make other food cheaper, nor will it teach entire generations how to cook good healthy meals. But we aren’t gonna get anywhere at all if we don’t start seriously having the conversation.
Some people are just stupid and incredibly lazy. It's also complete bs that UPF is the cheapest food - it's the easiest to "prepare". You just stick it in the microwave. Three years ago I went flexitarian - I maybe eat meat once a month or so on a night out. I see the difference in how much I spend each time I go to the shops. Recipes? All online, available for free. You don't have to learn anything, you just follow the instructions.
Hey Aaron great video, just wanting to stat check - you said in the video that debt has gone up by 40% - in reality this stat is far worse: debt has gone up by 67% (rounded to nearest digit) as the figure you stated is calculating the percentage 40bn is of 100Bn, whereas the increase is from 60 to 100Bn which represents a 66.6 recurring percent increase in debt!
David Cameron himself said Gaza is an open prison. What sickens me is how the West says Israel has a right to defend themselves, to what children, women, and innocent civilians. Don't expect anything from our government as they are allies of the terrorists. British did hand Palestine to these terrorists in 1918.
In an act of resistance, there is 'jouissance', this joy fused with the death drive. And this dark joy of rebellion is, in fact, the meaning of life. This changed my entire perspective!
39:01 Why not instead of pumping U.K people full of drugs stimulate them to eat and drink better and excersize more? This would include making cycling and walking easier in cities and creating public excersize spaces. Maybe even implement public gyms with professional staff, dietary advise and mental health care, i.e. community healthcare centers?
Take a drink every time they say Israel has a right to defend itself; try the same with take a drink every time someone says Palestinians/Lebanese have a right to defend against occupiers.
I contract and now have to use an umbrella company as my official employer. They do not pay my employer NI do there will be a huge range of people that will have to pay more tax. For someone like me it's not too bad but for there are millions of low wage workers that have to work via umbrella
Brand. You know what they say: if a things sounds too good to be true, it is. Other similar amulets are available for less, if you want to go that way.
Screw that weight loss drug! Its just papering over the cracks in peoples shoddy diet and lifestyle. Let's do something lasting! Educate people on how to eat properly, public gyms, walkable cities, bike lanes, subsidise fruit and vegetables so they are by far the cheapest options available. I'd even support hiking taxes on UPF to make healthier alternatives a better proposition. Everyone deserves to be healthy. It's amazing! Being strong, capable, flexible, robust. It feels great. Life is a joy, not a struggle when you're healthy.
Just a little note - While submission to God is the first step, forgiveness is fundamental to Islamic practice. Muslims are repeatedly instructed in the Quran to ask for forgiveness and to forgive.
Wes Streeting wants to give weight loss jabs to the unemployed. Because the Unemployed are Over Weight! What Next Unemployment Retraining Gyms? Wes Streeting is a Plank!
I don't really understand the attack on Russell Brand... it seemed like an opportunity to kick someone while they were down and made no apparent point.
Any increase in employer NIC’s will be passed on to the worker anyway. In rail and construction most agencies pay their workers through paye umbrella companies which take it directly out of the rate advertised to the worker. Even though it’s illegal, it’s the standard. Basically any rate you’re told by an agency you need take employer NIC’s, apprenticeship levy and payroll fees out of it to find out what you’re actually paying your own tax on. Unions can’t do fuck all for you if you’re agency, I’d rather be paid self-employed but IR35 says it’s disguised employment 🤷♂️
I’m wary of Aaron’s new refrain of needing US-style 'enshrined constitutional rights', and if he (or us Brits) understand the implications of what that actually means and would that'd entail (no matter how seemingly limited). I am a free speech 'absolutist' too, but I am against enshrining a constitutional right to free speech if it means having a written constitution/'Higher Law', which necessarily requires (unelected or politicized) judges becoming the supreme arbiters of political discourse. I have studied and worked in both American and English law and comparative constitutionalism. We should at least be cognizant of what we'd lose by having a written constitution and Judicial (as opposed to political/parliamentary) Supremacy, and the ways in which judicial supremacy has been used to suppress democracy and anti-capitalist movements. One of the last preserves a State/people has against capital is through its politics, while law intrinsically tends to entrenching the status quo/capital, and limiting political horizons. Far too often we mistakenly ascribe to legal systems what are manifestations/cultivations/modus vivendi of political culture. Many constitutions include a written right to free speech (see Germany, Russia, NK, Iran, Egypt, Myanmar), but just having a right written in a constitution doesn't mean its better protected in practice. Regarding terrorist org proscription, it is a farce that we even have that as a category, but it isn't as asymmetrical with the US as you think. The HomeSec is nominally accountable to parliament+electorate (despite our failing political class), whereas the US NatSec Blob proscribes orgs outside the purview of Congress or Judicial Review (exec JR is extremely limited in the US). Re Free Speech, the UK is indeed going through a hysterical moment of cracking down on certain forms of speech, but we shouldn't take our substantial protections in certain areas (e.g. in employment) for granted. This may sound unintuitive given we’ve taken on such an American way of thinking/talking about rights/constitutionalism (inc its legal/constitutional mythology), but the unwritten nature of our constitution is actually one of our greatest strengths. Simplistically, the vigour of the UK Equalities/Human Rights Act/Common Law rights comes from the very fact the courts do not worry about usurping the political branch, and which forces parliament to be clear and accountable if it wishes to overrule the courts/rights (instead of forcing them into obfuscatory legislative loopholes like in the US). Each line of cases are decided on their own terms, and the constructive ambiguity prevents legal arguments from tending towards textualism/formalisms/ossification, instead of dealing with facts/underlying substantial disputes as they are in their own contexts. It is also mistaken to say we do not have the right to free speech when it it is one of our deepest constitutional common law rights, as well as being enshrined in our Constitutional Statutes (+ ECHR membership). Conversely the free speech 1A in US has been twisted in so many ways: for infinite political donations (Citizens United), allowing state wide bds laws, polarising societal disputes, and can be ignored/interpreted away much easier than it sounds given they have “an enshrined constitutional right.” With a single provision in the US, freedom of speech cases involving corporate donations, religion, political protests, and hate speech are all judged by the same constitutional principle in the US, confusing the caselaw/jurisprudence. Even the framing of free speech 'absolutism' is a misnomer, every constitution/jurisprudence places limits on what comes under free speech, including the US (e.g. in labour contexts, 'terrorists', national security, many religious contexts, political organizing...). In the US, Free Speech/1A limitations are just 'defined out' the scope/category of the right, which also leads to byzantine theoretical arguments/rationalizations about the nature of rights, and whether something falls in/out their judicially constructed category, rather than actually engaging with the substantial dispute in a fact/context specific way. Rights 'absolutism' is just as much a constitutional myth that we should be wary of falling for, which often acts as a tool of obfuscation rather than protection. The reason why 1A seems so powerful is because the US society, from its inception, unanimously takes free speech extremely seriously as a political/cultural value, there is nothing magic in the text of a constitution. All I’m saying is that we in the UK have very little understanding of how our constitution works, and how our protections are legitimately substantial (insofar as law can/should be) because they aren't codified, not in spite of it. Thinking a written constitution will save us really doesn’t hold up to countless cases around the world, nor our own experience. A written constitution can be easily manipulated and obfuscate/corrupt underlying substantial issues, putting ultimate authority in the judiciary over the political branches (look at the decay of the Congress to make/enact legislation and regulation, and the US SC anti-labor jurisprudence that could not be undone by statute, see the 'Lochner era'). Having a right that is enshrined in a written constitution is not the panacea people think it is. Ultimately law cannot save us, only politics/society can.
35:00 Austerity reduces national income and therefore tax revenue, increasing government debt. Austerity causes an increase in debt, not that debt is necessarily a bad thing itself, but austerity doesn't work
Aaron Bastani says he loves Novara's range of voices. But have you ever invited David Miller onto your show? I don't think so. Even when the story is about him. Why does Novara no platform the left?
If the british public can oust a uk pm thacher from power in 1990 during poll tax revoultion 👍 why cant we come on streets and Demand uk pm starrmer Humanitarian lawyer😂 😂😂to resign 🤔 as he does not represent the values of the people of uk
The Russell Brand thing: perhaps he does not show any accountability because perhaps he is innocent and, actually, as far I as know, no trial has been set in place and he has not been declared guilty of what he is accused of. It pains me to see how quickly you have jumped to conclusions. Russell Brand has been speaking out about inequality, media manipulation and so on for decades now and I would not be surprised if those he harshly criticises are playing him so that he stops. You guys have lost some credibility in my mind. Yes, he is selling ridiculous stuff, but so do many famous people (selling food full of sugar and additives, perfume full of harmful chemicals and so on and so forth). Leave the guy alone; he is innocent until proven guilty.

So anti-Zionism doesnt equate to anti-semitism, glad the courts agree
☝️
Courts have previously found that anti-zionism is a protected belief under the Equality Act 2010.
Thar doesn't make it not racist (as having transphobic beliefs is a protected belief) but it does suggest people seeing a difference
Where did which court decide what oO?
A few sanctions against a few unimportant individuals - another pathetic gesture, pretending that we really care about International Law/Humanitarian Law
I couldn't agree more! It's British government complicity at it's best. It's always been that way since the before the Balfour Declaration pre 1917.
The settlements are state-sponsored; they have an official position settlement minister. This policy is disingenuous by implying it’s against the will of the government!
They are also protected by the judiciary system plus when they do attacks they are supported by the IOF , these are two other principal organisations that need to be held to account
Exactly.
They want to pretend like they are doing something meanwhile a genocide and expansion is taking place. Disgusting...
Israel are fighting on offence, not defence. There needs to be a block on arms and funds being given to Israel.
I have a question… what does a sanction on an Israeli settler do? Absolutely nothing, Israel is a settler colony… how do you think it started in the first place
Exactly.
Trust me they know. It's smoke and mirror. They are complicit.

@@Badgerbeard Well that's probably what actually did happen.

How about this question: Do Palestinians have the right to defend themselves? Why do we not equally support their own right to self defense? 🤔
But suella braverman claimed she saw "food a plenty" enter Gaza, remember???

On the Ozempic thing, you didn’t really discuss the actual crux of the matter here: we are ill.

Poor Lammy desperately wanted to be Foreign Secretary, lost his soul on route.
This feels like a tepid and limited response to what should be a forceful, comprehensive programme of sanctions against the state of Israel.

Working people is everyone pretty much.
God, David is so tedious!!
Sanction the GOV 😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well done Dalia
Great analysis by Dalia Gebrial.
What a farce
Word
why not sanction and arrest warrant for criminal netanyahu??
Cameron is happy to say this now that he doesn't have to do anything. Im just so doubtful that the government will actually do anything against this.
What kind of sanctions for these nobodys? like cant use the uk bank system or fly to the uk?
They earlier muted - visa bans. Which is absolutely useless.
Dalia on point about Streeting.
Yes the UK gvt is a shocker. If even David Cameron seems moderate!!!
Will the taxpayer be paying through the nose for this ridiculous weight loss drug? It won't work and it's a conflict of interest.
Take a drink every time they say Israel has a right to defend itself; try the same with take a drink every time someone says Palestinians/Lebanese have a right to defend against occupiers.
Sanctioning implies that there's currently support for these extremists from the UK? If so, how has the UK been supporting them?
Vote independent, if you don’t have an independent in your area, become one.
What's the point it's the country that needs to be sanctioned not individuals. They are supported by their government.
But suella braverman claimed sge saw "food a plenty" enter Haza,remember???
Why are we now called the, "Squatters," Settlers ?
Lammy couldn’t be bothered to attend the Urgent Question on Gaza today.
Keir Starmer's thumb is clearly calling the shots here.
Dalia totally on the money as usual, especially re. Streeting. That man is a devil.
Also it was created so uk doesn’t have the same problem as Germany got.but Germany now seems again to be on the wrong side .😊
To make up for being on the wrong side, against the Jews, the Germans are standing on the wrong side again.
This time on the Jews side. 😱
"In order to be seen doing something without doing anything.".Dalia.

England as always: too little, too late!
The only illegal occupier in the history of the world allowed to defend themselves. Even peaceful, homeless squatters don't have that privilege.

It is also mistaken to say we do not have the right to free speech when it it is one of our deepest constitutional common law rights, as well as being enshrined in our Constitutional Statutes (+ ECHR membership).
Conversely the free speech 1A in US has been twisted in so many ways: for infinite political donations (Citizens United), allowing state wide bds laws, polarising societal disputes, and can be ignored/interpreted away much easier than it sounds given they have “an enshrined constitutional right.” With a single provision in the US, freedom of speech cases involving corporate donations, religion, political protests, and hate speech are all judged by the same constitutional principle in the US, confusing the caselaw/jurisprudence. Even the framing of free speech 'absolutism' is a misnomer, every constitution/jurisprudence places limits on what comes under free speech, including the US (e.g. in labour contexts, 'terrorists', national security, many religious contexts, political organizing...). In the US, Free Speech/1A limitations are just 'defined out' the scope/category of the right, which also leads to byzantine theoretical arguments/rationalizations about the nature of rights, and whether something falls in/out their judicially constructed category, rather than actually engaging with the substantial dispute in a fact/context specific way. Rights 'absolutism' is just as much a constitutional myth that we should be wary of falling for, which often acts as a tool of obfuscation rather than protection. The reason why 1A seems so powerful is because the US society, from its inception, unanimously takes free speech extremely seriously as a political/cultural value, there is nothing magic in the text of a constitution.
All I’m saying is that we in the UK have very little understanding of how our constitution works, and how our protections are legitimately substantial (insofar as law can/should be) because they aren't codified, not in spite of it. Thinking a written constitution will save us really doesn’t hold up to countless cases around the world, nor our own experience. A written constitution can be easily manipulated and obfuscate/corrupt underlying substantial issues, putting ultimate authority in the judiciary over the political branches (look at the decay of the Congress to make/enact legislation and regulation, and the US SC anti-labor jurisprudence that could not be undone by statute, see the 'Lochner era'). Having a right that is enshrined in a written constitution is not the panacea people think it is.
Ultimately law cannot save us, only politics/society can.

35:00 Austerity reduces national income and therefore tax revenue, increasing government debt. Austerity causes an increase in debt, not that debt is necessarily a bad thing itself, but austerity doesn't work

Aaron Bastani says he loves Novara's range of voices. But have you ever invited David Miller onto your show? I don't think so. Even when the story is about him.
Why does Novara no platform the left?
Brand rebranding.... everything. Up next, spiritual NFTs.

Hand wringing and token gestures
The sad thing is that the left once did fall for Brand's grift too...
We twigged on, thats why he squirted out a different direction.
The Russell Brand thing: perhaps he does not show any accountability because perhaps he is innocent and, actually, as far I as know, no trial has been set in place and he has not been declared guilty of what he is accused of. It pains me to see how quickly you have jumped to conclusions. Russell Brand has been speaking out about inequality, media manipulation and so on for decades now and I would not be surprised if those he harshly criticises are playing him so that he stops.
You guys have lost some credibility in my mind.
Yes, he is selling ridiculous stuff, but so do many famous people (selling food full of sugar and additives, perfume full of harmful chemicals and so on and so forth).
Leave the guy alone; he is innocent until proven guilty.
