Hi and thanks! Glad you found it helpful and appreciate the feedback. Have a few new ones in the pipeline! Cheers!

Yawn. Change the bloody record: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXuoaqJmgauGbK8si=Y_X2xUVab-RMVWVs

Indeed and thanks for the interest!

Very glad to help! Good luck tomorrow!

You got this! Good luck!

Glad I can help! You can contact me through my website - www.paulfloyd.com/. I look forward to speaking further. Best wishes

Hi and thanks! I wouldn't disagree and for my money the Glorious Revolution is amongst the most important and least understood/appreciated periods of the UK's history. But, as indicated, these videos are first and foremost for those about to sit their A Level Politics and in those instances, the answer is Never The Monarchy. (In the UK, anyway; in the US it's Never The Veto.) But a good point well made and, again, thanks for the support!

Delighted to help.- good luck in the exam!

Hi Lamya @user-xr6qj3ed5m. I would be happy to offer academic tuition but I should advise that I am not a legal practitioner and so cannot offer legal advice!

Very kind of you to say so and very pleased to help! Good luck with your studies!

Good luck!

@@drfegg288 What happened with your review?

I am just about to do one myself, but haven't got a clue. How did it go?

Hi Barney and great to hear from you! I think the whole immigration thing is a monumental failure of 13 years of tory rule. Immigration is one of the easiest ways to grow the economy (and we have relied on immigration for years to fill jobs in health care, agriculture, education etc etc) but - and here is the analogy with the EU - there is a short term cost to long term gain and it is beholden on the government to explain that to a 'rugged' people. The tories blew that with the EU and they are doing the same with immigration. A sensible government would be taking the heat out of this issue but clearly what we have here is as far removed from a sensible government as you can get. I thought the Blair govt would take some beating but since then successive tory governments have successfully plumbed ever more staggering depths of inadequacy to this nadir. Never seen anything worse. The thing is that this is never going to persuade any non-tory voter to change lanes so the hope has to be that it heads off some of the righter/authoritarian voters being seduced by Reform. Never has a party / government better deserved electoral annihilation. The hope has to be that the conservative party survives the inevitable lurch to the extreme that will follow that crushing defeat and that shortly we will have a credible party of opposition and then perhaps government. But I would not count on it. Perhaps a strong Reform party could actually do some good and draw out some of the poison, allowing what's left to return to something closer to normal. But I wouldn't count on that either. Strange and terrible days. But nice to hear from you and hope all's well! Let's have a beer or several soon. Aye, F😀🍺🍺🍺

@@drfegg288 Thank you so much for the reply Paul, and good to hear from you too! Always up for a beer or several when you're next in London!

Hi James; great to hear from you and thanks for getting in touch. I did drop an email into school to find out how you guys had done but I guess it got lost in the wave of the usual start of term nonsense. Anyway, hope you are enjoying leicester and all the best up there. Do let me know if I can help at all. All the best, F

Hi and thanks for the interest. In the first instance, all things are relative but remember that most MPs get their seats because they won elections, for which the only quality is being good at campaigning/following orders. Most of the members of the HoL are there on some form of merit, and even the hereditary peers had to demonstrate they had some qualities that made them better legislators then the others. Second, some of the members bring genuine experience and knowledge to their work. Thirdly, the role of the HoL is critically to engage with the work they are doing while MPs have to worry about careers, elections and supporting their party (arguably three manifestations of the same thing.) Funnily enough, the most sensible thing anyone has said about the House of Lords was in the Now Show back in 2017: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4rXYaeDh82FnrMsi=3_7VSvftU9iusLfK. Listen from 14 min 30 second and let me know what you think! All the best!

PS That's not you, Westie, is it?

Hi and thanks for your contribution. You make a valid point and I certainly do not think that the battle for the equal representation of any minority is by any means done. In so far as resolving the dichotomy you raise, I think we would all prefer the former but while we work on that, the second is likely the least worse option. My concerns rise when the battle for fairness is, to point it bluntly, weaponised or misrepresented by individuals in pursuit of another, usually personal and selfish, agenda. When that happens, it does battle for fairness and equality a disservice as we stress differences rather than similarities. (If you haven't come across the book, Woke Racism by John McWhorter explains this much better than I can.) This is, I think, the philosophy that underpinned Students v. N Ca and Harvard. I am not naive, however, and not for a second will I rule out the possibility that certain parties might have exploited that matter for, again to politely euphemise your history, reasons other than philanthropic. This is a complicated and emotive subject and I thank you for your polite, erudite and clearly heartfelt argument. The debate goes on, as does the battle against prejudice and discrimination. Many best wishes Paul

And well done for making it that far into the video!
