This is dying on its arse without Ollie. In the last episode, they didn't even bother with the last clip from PMQs and just started reminiscing about school days. Like being sat between two people shovelling gak into their faces.

Can we have timelines on the video so I can skip to the issues please? I really enjoy and value their perspectives on politics, just not the rest. Thanks

I was _absolutely convinced_ that that whole backdrop, the wainscoted built-in bookcase, was a *two-dimensional* image of some sort (it couldn’t be a green screen because it showed shadows) but looking at it now, in the long shots (e.g., 14:54) and the close shots (16:34), I realize it isn’t! 🤯

My generation changed the Licensing laws in the Uk via Acid House, we literally built you a night time economy, an entertainment sector that didn't shut at 2am, that mirrored that of our more enlightened European neighbours and YOUR generation allowed them to pretty much remove it overnight... "The Slug n Lettuce"..Purrlllleaaase, they've dragged you back to the 1980's and the 80s were AWFUL in the main!!!!!!

[@matty506]

Long term is foreign investment a good idea? Surely if a foreign investor puts money in then the idea would be to take a bigger amount of money out so we'd loose in the long term? Would it not be better to find better ways to allocate the money that's already in the economy to make it work better than investing into non producing assets like housing?

[@teabagtowers3823]

So you're saying we should have no foreign investment. Yeah mate that's not how modern economies work.

[@markwelch3564]

​@@teabagtowers3823but who does that model work for?

[@matty506]

@@teabagtowers3823 Well it depends what for. The US alone takes something like £100Billion in profits from the UK every year which is money created by debt at some point so how are we going to pay that debt back if the moneys being extracted?

[@teabagtowers3823]

@@matty506 For job creation obviously we want foreign companies like say a car manufacturer to set up a factory in the UK to build cars because that would bring jobs. Not all outside foreign investment into a country is a bad thing are you saying the Nissan factory in Sunderland for example is a bad thing?

And OJ Simpson was cleared of murder. Are you seriously suggesting that the uk court system is flawless and bad/rich/important people don’t constantly get away with stuff? Hadn’t planned on bad mouthing the recently departed but, your wank comment gives me the perfect excuse. He was a horrible man.

[@clarecrawford9677]

@@DjBlazz2K10There is no such thing as a ‘UK court system’. Scots law is different from English law, and the only court in England that affects Scots law is the Supreme Court, which replaced the House of Lords as its ultimate court of appeal. Juries in Scotland have fifteen members and they can arrive at majority verdicts. The rest of your comment seems to be as ill-informed.

Politics Joe never apologized for the Gaza MPs comment right?

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

What did they say?

[@ForYour1nfo]

@@IllusionistBeatsOfficial they referred to the independent MP group as the Gaza MPs. Which is a bit like referring to labour friends of Israel or the MPs pushing for arms sales and military support to Israel as the tel Aviv MPs.

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

@ForYour1nfo as much as I agree that it's frustrating when people reduce the broad scope of Israeli crimes to just Gaza, I do think that's what they're being referred to by most in the media. Might just be for simplicity's sake in the case of PolJoe. I would prefer they refer to them by a less reductive and dismissive terminology, though.
