- Swindon voted in Conservative Council in 2005 which finally lost power to Labour Recently. Polling Shows the Tory MPs too are about to be booted out too. No wonder as all promises of regeneration have never materialised.

Jesus. The state of the average Brit in terms of lack of critical thought.
The average Swindonian LOVES the mediocrity.
And they all have the vote! We have the country we deserve!
Bloke in the red - what ever did the Romans do for us? Durr brain...
I don't understand it. I am sure that the tories would have given billions to their rich buddies. Surely some of it should have trickled down by now, even if it did have to come via the Cayman islands.
The millions get Rwanda instead of you all.
As soon as the Tories got control in the 1990s the sold off and cut all council spending. The Oasis, the sports centres etc all lost funding and everywhere turned to shit but guess what, people paid £10 less on their council tax 🤣🤣🤣
Bless man. It so awful to hear this. 😢
The english electorate proving once again why we're in this total brexshit mess!! 😡
Liz I appreciate you talking to the red coat guy like a child and adapt your way of communicating, slow and clear, so he can have time to understand. Sadly this is how we got here. Calibre of voter
As a former Swindon local, I can confirm that Swindon is definitely a massive shit hole.
Would you pick Luton or Swindon?
@@Great_WesternTVFan Never been to Luton, but I know Swindon well and judging from comments from friends and family, the hole has just got wider and deeper!
I want to live in Spain. Sorry no right to live there.
You can still do it ,but you need to bring more money than before brexit ,as the pound fell after brexit also the requirements are harder .
@@michaelrowsell1160as I said no right to live there. With money? Maybe.
@@michaelrowsell1160there were no requirements before brexit under FoM rules. Now there are. That young girl had no say in having her rights removed.
Well there’s always Bognor Regis. Just pack a sunlamp
In fact, you can only be there as a tourist for max three months in every six month period.
I’m beginning to think Brexit is a price we pay for giving the right to vote to people who lack critical thinking skills - the red coat man in the video is a good example.
Well done Liz. Good to get out and talk to people. Pity they seem so gullible.
She is getting really good at this isn't she. Now does some of the best vox pop on TH-cam imo
So the joker in the red coat voted for brexit and he hasn't noticed any difference, where does he live not in the UK obviously
See how he specifies "If you dont watch News" you dont notice a difference?
Its so obvious he just means If you ignore any facts and statistics you dont notice a difference....
He's probably a day patient in some mental hospital 😂
Possibly the most depressing video I’ve ever seen. The bloke in the red jacket. 🙄
The guy in the red jacket FFS!
Atleast Swindon doesn't have extremists like Luton
The man in the red coat, bless him he dont seem switched on.
He hoped for more money for the NHS? Did he EVER look up what the UK was actually investing in its membership in the EU? It paid around 8.5 bn net and it got about 80 bn in return for that as was predicted back then and as you can see now with the diminished GDP. Apart from that, 8.5 bn translates to around 163 million per week, how is anyone possible to invest 350 out of 163 million into anything even if he would invest everything spent? DO try to think before you vote, it actually helps!
Honda left Swindon. Some thick voters 😂
Did you know most of the Honda workers voted Leave?
@@danchanner7887 well done them, they got what they voted for - the dole...
With Honda Swindon employing about 3500 people , say 100,000 in their immediate family, and then their wider family say 250,000, plus all the subcontractors , coming to say 500,000 people in the local area who have earned a living directly or indirect over the 36 years Honda produced in Swindon.
Where were their brains when it came to voting to remain or leave the EU ? Perhaps it’s something in the water or the air that made this area vote ….in that glorified opinion poll known as the referendum…to vote Leave ?
@@californiadreamin8423 but but but ............., flag , fish and foreigners........... and SOVEIGNTY !!! ( to destroy the own life !!) well done UK!!!
@@bh5037 Hi Loopy.
Those muppets had Honda and voted for Brexit 🗳 Surprised all of them when Honda left and they lost their jobs!!! 🤣 Vote Conservative for more Brexit Benefits 🇬🇧 💩
Not entirely sure Brexit was the only reason for Honda jumping ship, but no doubt it played its part, as it does in so much of our lives today.
@@jmshrrsn 98% the reason Honda left UK.......
Yes turkey's voting for Christmas comes to mind, young girl I'm moving to Spain oh no you are not 😢.
@@simonwood1402 Actually no, the Ohio plant becoming a two plant factory was the reason why honda left, Honda america could produce more civic's than HUM. Since hum were mostly producing for the US market that's their business gone, btw this decision was made a full 2 years before brexit vote. What I think should be addressed is the swindon advertisers behaviour constantly going for dirt on Honda trying to turn the local population against them, trying to stifle their redevelopment etc.
I think you’d find the EU changed the rules for Honda to not have to manufacture their cars in Europe to sell them into the eurozone. So as a cost cutting measure they no longer needed a uk manufacturing depot.
"I call them lies" 😏
Yep me too
Man in red jacket ...i don't know how to vote because the newspaper hasn't told me yet .. Brexit early days ....only 8 years after the vote .
you voted for, you got it, keep it!
For sure , they just don’t have a clue!
Thought the lady who didn’t vote represents a large proportion of non-voters. They saw all the mixed messages and decided not to vote as they really didn’t know. But if you don’t know the answer is not to abstain but to maintain the status quo. There’s also the cohort who just wanted change after years of austerity making things worse… but didn’t appreciate that change can be change for the (much) worse.
Good you do these kinds of street interviews! 👍
He totally represents what Swindon is all about!!! Lol
Ex-Swindonian here, so let me give you Brexit in a nutshell.. me (the EU) and you (the UK) share a house, I make all the rules, anything you want to do has to go through me, I also drag you into problems of my making that don't concern you, you understandably get tired of all this and move out so you can make your own decisions and carve your own way, having moved into your new place you realise that I've rung ahead and made it so that I still make all the decisions and am now punishing you for leaving by not letting you lay carpet or paint the walls, and on top of that now everyone's blaming you for moving out, not exactly a fair outcome is it?
Oh and btw Swindon has some of the coolest, most inspired creative and upright folks going but you'll be lucky to find them amongst the office droids and mainstream-eating plebs that make up the majority, they keep out the way with their noses firmly in their interests, poets, artists, musicians, dancers, many who are even internationally known in their chosen fields create their own microcosms, the town's NEVER catered for them, so they gather in the shadows away from the booze and brawl of the centres umpteen tacky watering holes, the inept council and incompetent chancer politicians come and go profiteering from the towns general inbred apathy, I was born and raised there, made some amazing memories and friends, together we carved acheivements way above our station IN SPITE of the place being what it was, when the GWR shop shut the soul of the town died, a once proud place then became a lab for whatever new-fangled social engineering scheme the government could magic up (Mondex et al.), many of us had nowhere locally to shine so took our talents elsewhere, many passed away, some are still there keeping above water in what's essentially become a 3rd world dumping ground, I'll always love my hometown and it breaks my heart to see what it's become
You made me laugh.😂 Unfortunately, it's no laughing matter! 😔
You are a sad, but very verbose, bigot.
Let me guess, you think Carl Benjamin is among those "cool" types?
The EU isn’t punishing the UK, the UK simply just have to follow the same rules as everyone else - rules the UK used to take part in making.
Also, there were several regulations from the EU that the UK never implemented, the UK had disproportionately much influence in the EU and the UK even got a rebate on its membership!
Before the UK joined what would become the EU, it was in the shitter, "the poor man of Europe" - and it was only allowed to join because it had some allies who insisted that the UK should be allowed!
But hey, you just keep on chanting "two world wars, one World Cup and Brexit" and bitch about refugees, in your drunken gammon voice as you waddle home from your local "Spoons", to your sad excuse of a life where you suck in more lies from the likes of Oligarch mouthpieces "it will be like Norway, only better" Farage….

This is more about brexit being bad than it is about Swindon
Thank you for putting Brexit guy in his place.
The worrying thing is that they are all allowed to vote
Blame the council they have been a joke for 50 years.Just wasted money on rainbow steps up to the theatre
No cure for thick.
It’s not just Swindon, after visiting a number of cities across Europe I have come to the conclusion that in comparison they put the majority of U.K. Cities and towns in the shade.
These people definitely need to vote Reform. Labour are just going to make things even worse. The next five years are going to be pretty grim 😞
so you think they went from stupid to braindead over half a year?
Swindon is a good place and cheap i will be moveing thier soon from london as my friends live thier
House of Fraser closed in the Brunel Centre, Debenhams closed, Marks and Spencer closed. Free parking axed at the weekends. Interminable roadworks on the A420 and in Swindon town centre. The main reason that farmers are badly off is that supermarkets dictate prices paid to farmers. Milk producers have operated at a loss for years. Food processors and retailers profit at the expense of farmers.
The designer outlet took custom away from Swindon town centre.
Swindon is run down and needs a greater police presence.
It's just missing the tumbleweed.
What a fool he is
Well, its residents did vote for BREXIT.
It’s the same all over, they need to remove business rates to help shops compete with online commerce.
You people are REALLY gonna make Andy Partridge mad.
Video should be named "what 4 people that live in Swindon actually think of it".
One of the worst interviews I've ever seen.
I live in London and have never noticed a shortage of food. I am not sure it is always of the same quality as before.
London has good connections for fresh produce. The truth is though that quality and variety is going down the pan and often our shelves are empty.
@@lizwebstersbf That's the trouble with living in Wiltshire I suppose. I never noticed any shortages, not even a shortage of toilet rolls when there's a national panic.
I tend to agree that the food shortages are not prevalent, but most definitely the quality of food is dreadful. I’m throwing half of the stuff away we buy each week because it’s simply of a poor standard. Never did this before Brexit, so I can conclude it’s another benefit we can all celebrate.
@@jmshrrsn Impoverishment was exactly what the Brexiteers promised. They've done the job.
I live in a pretty affluent part of London. There have been food shortages. Even Waitrose has suffered empty shelves. It seems to be transitory though. The thing is, wealthy people will just put up with it. They'll still eat. So what if the price goes up a little?
There are also people around here who aren't well-off. And they are struggling, like most of the country. London's not an easy place to live in if you don't earn a lot.
I think a lot of people forget why Brexit was so popular. People were desperate even then. They thought they had nothing to lose. They believed all the "it's the EU's fault" or "it's all the foreigners". They genuinely thought things would get better. And now they know.
Well done liz, so biased and got most things wrong.
You've never had it so good! As a Conservative voter in the past I urge all people to do two things. Firstly, let us get away with it. Brexit got done. Don't worry, move on, they lost and we won. We don't want to rock the boat. So what if food is more expensive and job losses pile up, it will only needs more time and now isn't the time for change. If you're not happy with the Conservatives then don't vote at all, that's the best thing to do. You can't be blamed then, can you?
Secondly we must prevent people at large becoming more informed about politics in general and the benefits of free trade with the EU.
Only if we achieve these two objectives will things remain as they are. You've never had it so good.
😂😅😂😅
This interviewer is talking thru her bottom. Experience inflation in Spain, see food shortages in supermarkets.
Not the brightest tool that block
As a Derbyshire beef farmer in the Peak district,I feel blessed..
Fresh air for a start! 😊
Did you vote leave?
i left Swindon in 88 & leaving was like a breath of fresh air, so nice to get away from those whingers though must admit the council was fantastic
Ahh it's nice to be ignorant (sarcasm)
No more jobs going after Honda left?
What an unprofessional interview, constantly leading replies on Brexit.
Whats the point of listening to such propaganda?
😂😂😂😂 oh bless you. How’s Brexit going for you and your family?
I did try and point that out but the acolytes of the wannabe MP (or cat's mother) came back with so much c~~p that I discontinued. "Can't educate pork" as they say in this neck of the Wiltshire woods.. Again " Good Luck CM" !! You are going to need it to achieve your aims,...... whatever they are.
With that amount of leading comments she should work for the BBC.
She’s the cat’s mother.
@keithhutchins89666……. are those leading comments , on this channel, inaccurate, misleading, or untruthful ? I don’t think they are, which suggests strongly that she would not be entertained for employment by the BBC.
You are entitled to a view
@@keithhutchins8966 Yes you are….and I’ve expressed mine.
Yeah. You tell ‘em 🙄
The interviewer is very obnoxious and patronising. How have you turned a discussion around peoples views on a town to Brexit? Obviously you have a blinkered view of why town centres are going down the pan. A lot of the lack of footfall in shops is down to online shopping. Issues affecting businesses such as increases in costs such as gas are attributable to the Ukraine invasion, embargos on Russia and effects on supply chains caused by a lack of supply of timber, etc. from Ukraine. The EU has plenty of problems, beef farmers in Ireland are under the cosh and farmers in other countries are finding it difficult to survive. I didn't vote Brexit but to blame it as the be all and end all of all issues is disingenuous.
More than 15 years of Tory leadership is of course also part of the problem, but ignoring the role of Brexit is just ignorant!
What is she on about the NHS gets more money than is ever got and as for the £350million a week it got that and much more.! Just a bitter remainer.
Liz talks garbage about brexit.
Aww diddums x
Can't see why the likes of Mogg, Farage and Johnson have a monopoly on talking garbage about Brexit.
very intelligent waste of time.@@user-ou9kv5cz2c
Ok troll
Pathetic response -- can you spell it?@@emmabrooker166
Why did this turn to a bexit debate? Thought it was meant to be about what Swindons like to live in…
