In this video I respond to one very long comment that deserved a proper detailed response and I try to do a response video to myself, which is new to me (but I'm sure someone has done it before). I try to answer the biggest question of all, was I wrong and whether I was or wasn't, why was I right or wrong. This is a lot of self-reflection and maybe a little, tiny, victory lap.

Until now, ruthless means testing was the only way to distribute benefits and provide services, but not anymore. (This is the point where you gasp and ask if there's a better way). In the video I decide to look at some of the more innocent motivations and justifications that people make in favour of means testing. Then I get into why these aren't actually sound, or politically intelligent positions to hold in a lot of cases. Finally I make the case for some universalism in services (though I tried not to dismiss UBI out of hand, it has a potential place). So yeah long live UBS and lets hope 2024 is great.

I start by assessing what the current status quo is regarding free speech in the UK and compare it to the obvious comparison point, America. Then I dive into what defamation actually is and what it looks like. I also finally learn the difference between Libel and Slander (no I will not use them correctly). I then decide to assess why they're so bad and who they're actually bad for.
Also I address whether a member of the House of Lords does things with dogs. My conclusion: who can say?

Notes from the graph of leader's monthly approval
* David Cameron's data begins in May 2015, not from when he became leader of the opposition
** Nicola Sturgeon's UK wide polling Data begins in December 2019 and is what is represented in this graph
*** Keir Starmer is the incumbent Labour leader at the time of the video's release so his data is up to date as of release

I start out by trying to establish the specific people I mean, because hashtag not all comedians I guess, but also because in the course of reading/watching material I realised that there's a particular group who seem to have a lot of things in common. So I went looking at the British ones to see what I could find and it turns out it's a lot of the same stuff we talk about in every video.
I hope you all enjoy this one! Be sure to like, subscribe, leave your answer to the question or just leave a nice comment all the same. Thanks! Also my apologies for this one being late a combination of writer's block and poorly timed sickness did not help with all this.

Why are they all so difficult for the left to even communicate with on a basic level? I thought about this and it reminded me of trying to communicate with other groups that you would reasonably describe as both alienated from the left and radicalised towards the right.
In an effort to understand why this has happened, I decided to think a bit about how centrists think, particularly about government and who should be involved in governing and whether that tells us anything about their vulnerability to this kind of radicalisation towards the right.

What am I to do? Well obviously to question it. NATO not Oxygen. In the video I decided to look at the origins of NATO in the aftermath of World War II, what the motivations were for the forming of the predecessor alliances that served as the foundation of NATO. I then take a look at the general claims that NATO makes about itself and that its supporters make before I try to deconstruct them. Finally I just decide to go into what NATO is really for, if we consider the things they admit to in their mycrimes.txt style website (which is actually a good source for treaty texts and things like that so thanks for that I guess?)

So join me on my journey as I explore one local Nottinghamshire political party's quest to make and break laws. We meet characters like the leader of the Ashfield Independents Jason Zadrozny, who has had his run ins with the law and his deputy whose specific incident I wont spoil in this description, but trust me you'll want to find out.
I try to find some lessons to be learned from all this, but to be honest, I'm not sure there were any and by the end my brain had clearly fried from the heat and the content, so enjoy me slowly descending into madness and remember to like, comment, subscribe!

I take some issue with the premise, but in this video I explore the origins of modern gamer culture, who we have in our head when we think of "gamers", the behaviours associated with them and how they impact upon marginalised communities particularly in the "post-Gamergate era" even if we aren't necessarily out of the shadow of that particular event.
I also try to establish why these issues may be for the left to solve and what the consequences of either inaction or abdication of our place in these spaces (depending on your view of what our current positioning is within them) are. I go on to explore what leftist action in these spaces could or should look like and begin to approach the question of deradicalisation of these spaces where people have become alienated towards the left.
