Video Overview & Insights

Things can only get better?

“

Tony Blair’s “New Labour” was an oxymoron, it was really, “New Tory” . . . .

Well reasons that New Labour had the funds for all of their programs it was because of North Sea oil.

Removing clause 4 basically gutted the party. If it doesn't put workers first, it means nothing.

We see the consequences of that today

Blair cut the nhs too

@9rf2

8:42 so the UK isn't failing, just going back to where we left off

@victorschill-factor

Good summary.

@patrickglenn4038

crazy how new labour gets kicked out because they were banning ridiculous things instead of helping the country, fast forward 15 years later and they seem to be picking up right where they left off, banning most of the internet and now refilling sugary drinks, awesome

@beabuzzkill

What is the music at 3.26 ???

@TeamNitro17

Hm this sounds so familiar right now.......

@Marceszhu

Evil Bastards

@redjarvis

4:47 a strange summary of the Yugoslav wars

@башарал

3:18 ReformUK jumpscare

@ScubaGuyer

Even back in power, they’re gonna fall once again. Pandering to Reform voters who’ll never vote Labour ever is going so well for them… Not!

@noahwilliams3718

9:18 Yep, that is the case right now...

@glassowlie

3:23 That was actually independent Martin Bell against sleaze ridden Neil Hamilton

@kaptainkuma498

"The government collected more in taxes than it actually needed" you say that likes is a good thing

@JesusChrist-jh6jo

This ages well each and every day

@starzainia

Holy fuck the doctor who RPG victory fanfare caught me so off guard i haven't heard that in years

@azophyte

Blair the "Moderate"--lol!

@caiusKeys

Kosovo was Nato-staged (i.e. staged by Britain too), where Kosovo-Albanian-paramilitaries and -terrorists (with arms smuggled by the Nato) brought the state to its knees, so, the state reacted... All the blood spilled goes on Britain and Blair, also that of the sacrificed Albanian fanatics (if anyone should care for them, that is). It was the same movie as in 1990, just with different fanatic, ethnic groups.
10:28 Rumsfeld was godly !!! Just, the levels of cringe, enjoy !!! That´s an adult (allegedly) speaking there!!!

@klausbrinck2137

Now here's keir starmer...

@red2theelectricboogaloo961

4:37 i hope this part is a joke in the fact that it’s omitting a lot of stuff like ole tony did

@luki311

Thanks , this is giving me a general insight on Tony Blair and New Labour party for my university project ❤

@vvvvvvt593

I remember Tony Blair the war criminal... Flogging off parts of are nhs.. Becoming exactly what we were fighting against for power.. Obviously the guy in this video is delusional. Just one more sellout

@ronsmith-ug5jl

I watched this in my sociology class

@DjDeadpig

Now we have our current Labour government which is like a shitty emulation of New Labour

@ill_geffen

They showed this in my school without realising

@floppademon1506

I was looking back on some very old news pages on the wayback machine around 1999- 2001 and one of the issues being noted was that Brits were becoming a lot less interested in politics. The 2001 election had a dramatically reduced turnout then ever before and it hasn't really recovered since, easy to see why many felt it was 'the end of history'.

@DanThe2nd567

the ending fucking killed me

@PatchyTheP

It's so funny that children in Kosovo are named Toni or Tonibler after Tony Blair.

Now everywhere here outside of central London feels like Kosovo

@xydr.o

"The Rise and Fall of New Labour"... Why not call it New Labours Failure?

@1943colin

8:18 so regular muslims???

@kirbya9545

Sod off disgusting American imperialist apologist.

@RealBolshevikRevolutionary

10:32 This reminds me of Sir Humphrey’s “I can see all sorts of unforeseen consequences. Such as? If I could foresee them, they wouldn’t be unforeseen!”

@Carl-Gauss

The "unknown unknowns" clip makes total sense. Not sure why you used that to highlight how the Bush administration wasn't so clever.

@thegrinderman1090

Good Vid! You opened my mind to British Politics!

@korbloxation

I've still yet to watch a video on You tube explaining what exactly was radical about Corbyn's policies. Someone enlighten me? Radical in what sense?

@GS44691

Gillian Duffy was not a bigot at all. Have a word with yourself!

@flachi32

The concept of a Labor party seems ludicrous today. Who works in Britain? Do they make anything other than junk cars?

@Vixtorz

3:23 labour didnt win tatton in 1997

@fairyfernz

10:31 I did not know that this boondocks reference was real

@bakedtatochips2728

I am a Labour supporter but I think it was for the best that the Conservatives won the 2010 election.

@iikittyplayz841

2024 "England has fallen!" So what?

@bissigerChristian

and here we are

@SamueleCastiglioni

2:27 smart bc the politicians knew that these concepts are too much for Angloids pea sized brains or lack thereof

@zersky495

I got news for you, their still here!
