A Typical British Political Speech

[cybagooseuk]

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, you missed your way you should

be in politics !.

[nextceaser]

Ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Get on the telly.

[fak1945]

lol drinkin vodka during a speech?haha

[smileyousee]

i am going to elect you to be on the political party

[richw4]

well I'm sure I couldn't do any worse than those politicians we have running our countries lol!

[SillyOclock]

it sounds halfway between gordon brown and john prescott, most politicians just seem to sprout a rhetorical type of white noise.

well observed.

[richw4]

'half' way between had to laugh at that...but it's true the 'white noise, in one ear out the other sadly ☺

[Wooishness]

Yur very Cool=]

[richw4]

thanks very much! ☺

[granskare]

hear hear :)

[richw4]

why thank you!

[theInterzone]

indeed.

[mrfluffy000]

I'd vote for you sir. Your policies are clear, understandable and, I believe,just whats needed in the political vacuum at present. Why, even my bedpan would vote for you. He told us so. Dinkle Wubbler

[richw4]

Thanks Mr Fluffy, I realy do appreciate your support and vote and and Dinkle Wubbler's too..he can be minister for environment and waste hehe ☺

[tommacko]

HAHA. As an autocrat myself, I would much rather politicians said nothing to the public.

[richw4]

Haha agreed, if they haven't got anything useful (or at least understandable) best policy is to say nothing at all lol ☺

[tallstevo]

Oh yesss!! Little Rich for Prime Minister! you've got my vote, by the way I've got a massive swing too :)

[richw4]

I don't know about being PM Stevo, couldn't keep spouting twaddle ALL day, it's actually quite difficult LOL..your massive swing ooo err I hope we're talking about your hammock lol ☺

[higgypopuk]

My brain hurts! I think they should get rid of political corespondents and replace them with Cbeebies presenters, they could report on it how it is and bring it down to my level. You are very correct. "Steve Higgins at Whitehall for Cbeebies, now, Space Pirates..."

[richw4]

I could see you as a Cbeebies presenter Higgy! Actually I just recently started to wactch Benidorm, the comedy with Johnny Vegas in it and there is a couple who are a litle more sophisticated than the rest. The huusband so reminds me of you!

[lilladyamaranth]

true lol

[richw4]

sadly it is lol ☺

[pyramiaou]

Loved this Rich. It's true what they say, no matter who you vote for, the government still gets in.

[richw4]

haha Exactly Mary!

[pyramiaou]

Rich - I just tried to send you a PM after watching your last tutorial, but it said I have to be your friend first! Can you look out for the request and accept it so I can send you the message? Thanks!!

[richw4]

done ☺

[genmama1955]

You couldn't be more right!

[richw4]

thanks Lee Ann! One of those things you wish you were wrong about but sadly not lol ☺

[cuteblondeteen]

haha! he did sound like those boring politicans! haha

[eire138]

Hey! I've heard that speach in American elections!! HAHA!! it's sad but true...

[richw4]

Hi Gor! I think there is a standard template of these speeches to download from the University of BS ☺

[cfbloke]

I think that the Honourable Member shown above is tired and emotional in parliamentary parlance ;-)

Cracking video - just a shame that the way you portray politicians, is sadly all too true ...

[richw4]

I think he is indeed tired lol I was watching the local news last night and even down to earth local councillors who are now MPs have morphed into these waffling politicians who can no longer answer a question with a direct answer..sadly

[Evilspartacus]

Class ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

[richw4]

Yay your back! Cheers Evil ☺

[meisie123]

Bloody brilliant. Correct and John Cleese would be proud!

[richw4]

Thanks so much Sandy, credit to the politicians though, it took so many takes to get one continuous spouting of drivel without a script! They seem to be able to do it naturally! ☺

[meisie123]

Well they have to in order to give guys like you material to work with! Why else waste all the lovely lolly on drivel!!

[dustynbones]

What is the system of government called in England or Europe?

Is it called a Democratic Parliamentry?

[twister7boy]

huh? man i had to watch that from our candidates i would have been snozzing after 20seconds. i would show up to tell everybody to piss off. looks like your going somewhere with this. i dont get to see it in your contry but it looks boaring as hell man. i think i just had a adhd moment. peace. gregg

[richw4]

I think where ever you are G the speeches made are of the same kind of nature, big words and promises!

[twister7boy]

they sure are. most are lies i think anyways. people saying anything to get into office. then do the oppisite. a lot of times. or dont think whats gonna happen 30 years down the road. plus waste so much. parts like where i live. i fell will go into another depression again. and maybe my entire contry. for a couple of years. but thats just my opion. peace. gregg

[ravensky23]

"blah blah blah bladdity blah blah blah" Oh my goodness you are testing my ability to stay awake at 1:15am. Think I'll have a listen again and I should be ready for bed. ;-) I should be sleeping anyway!

[richw4]

haha Debbie I made a video that is a cure for insomnia hoorah! Night Night ☺

[TamHickey67]

I wonder if William Hague sounded like that after his 14 pints a day? It would appear that the new labour project has fallen into disarray. All over the country people want effective change. Currently new labour are out torying the tories! In Scotland the SNP are gaining huge levels of support. We could be Independant within a few years if the main parties don't get their collective fingers out and work for all of us, not just the well off.

[richw4]

I mentioned it in earlier comments Tam and agree that the Labour party do seem to be the new Tories. It's not a question of the partie's beliefs anymore, more what is the most seemingly popular policies to introduce. It would be interesting to see if Scotland does gain independance...Wales after that?

[prowler]

ill tell you why i dont vote....cant be bothered haha, thats the single reason

[richw4]

I think a lot of people do the same prowler! more people vote for Big Brother than elections!

[iggy35]

I hope that was water, young man

[richw4]

Oh it was Iggy, a friend said it's special water from spring in Russia, very healthy

[popebenadict16]

now that was wicked rich 5 votes bruv

[richw4]

cheers Pope dude! ☺

[trillian57]

Boy! Are we lucky in the U.S. that our politicians don't spout huge loads of B.S. like that!  *cough, cough*

[richw4]

haha I bet Trillian *winks* ☺

[ducttape411]

Wow, politicians must get REALLY drunk!

[richw4]

Hi Alyssa! they often appear in the tabloids like that lol ☺

[DMcLean1989]

public floorum, LOOOL

[richw4]

haha that 'water' was stronger than I thought Dan! ☺

[queenkimm07]

Kim

[richw4]

Huggs to you ☺

[queenkimm07]

kim

[1DRock37167]

Sounds very familiar, but we also have the other extreme for variety. Some of ours are so plainspoken you have to wonder if they can program their VCRs! (See POTUS)

D

[richw4]

In fairness Daryl, the local government that look after our counties (states) tend to be elected from the general population so are quite straight speaking, its when you get to the MP's (members of Parliament) that they talk twaddle lol so things sound similar either side of the pond!

[1DRock37167]

Yes, it sounds like they are basically the same creature and a scary one at that. I cant imagine how some of these people get elected.

D

[richw4]

ooo no Ladybard, I'm far too nice for that career path ;)

[fraserkatie]

You get my vote , Rich! You make politics sound funnier than they are! Brilliant! Well done my friend for a brilliant video!

[richw4]

No one can make politics funnier (or more insane) than they already are surely Katie ;)

[fraserkatie]

LOL! You say the funniest things my friend!

[drschnaggels]

LOL, so true.

[richw4]

It is indeed (sadly) Dr S! ☺

[mpoertner]

I think you could have just farted on the camera and portrayed the same thing. Hehe

[richw4]

Now I wish I had thought of that before filming Matt! ☺

[pennylaneuk]

All I heard was blah blah blah blah ....

Penny x

[richw4]

Hi Penny, actually you gotta admire these political chaps at there ability to

1. Blah blah blah all day

2. Avoid answering question by spouting more blah blah blah!

☺

[phekwig]

Felix is the obfuscatory genius! I'm with twaddle...

[richw4]

Twaddle is today's common sense, you know it phekwig!

[popsuckits]

Incomprehencible party? Is that the One that pulls all the other parties strings>?

[richw4]

That's the one LOL!

[fhyd]

you remind me loads of jools holland :D

[richw4]

Hi fhyd, think I'd best learn to play the piano then I can start a tribute act lol ☺

[talk74]

you didn't happen to go to Eton did you, old boy? ;)

[richw4]

Not Eton Matt, but another posh public school (hence not wearing the ole school tie..you never know who's watching)

[ravenlillysoa]

Thats so acurate its scary. I s Felix related to Gordon Brown or something?

Im personaly standing up for tree roots. Why is is grass roots? Trees feel left out! DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TREES!

[richw4]

Hi Lilly, Felix is indeed related to Gordon Brown via a well known Pie maker. The pies are all gone now though as Gordon ate them all. Now as for the trees, that is a great idea to add to our environmental policy, many thanks (we struggle to come up with anything meaningful so in the words of Tesco 'every little helps') ☺

[ravenlillysoa]

can i be the enviroMENTAL minister?

[richw4]

LMAO you would be perfect! Job's yours no bribes required ☺ Actually I bet if we all got together on YouTube we could come up with a great Political party and policies!

[ravenlillysoa]

Omg yes that would be so fun!

Mine would include hug a tree day, to end your blatent tree didcrimination.

[PoetryCarvedInFlesh]

I can say with such convition and all honesty that i didn't understand a word of that hehehe just goes to show.......people in power ect talk a load of shit....they know we don't understand therefor we get ripped off!!

[richw4]

LOL Poetry dude! I sometimes listen to the commons on TV and you really cannot follow a word they say sometimes, bring in Ali G to keep it real!

[PoetryCarvedInFlesh]

LOL STAINS lol

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

You got my vote.

[richw4]

Yay another sucker..er I mean fine upstanding citizen! ☺

[TrueBlueAustralian]

No its just that there all liers..

[richw4]

true pauly, they just know how to try and cover it up with smoke screens n big words!

[thatenglishkid]

This video makes more sense backwards!

[richw4]

aha Lewis you discovered the hidden manifesto of Little Rich's Big political agenda! ☺

[thatenglishkid]

...and so does that comment!

Seriously, it's a good job I'm in a good mood. If I wasn't, I'd have smashed my laptop and cried because that video makes sense of noneness!111!!

:D

[TimberGeek]

LOL...

[hellorodney]

indeeed,,,,hear here

[richw4]

Hello Rodney, why thank you, we'll be bombarding you with much literature about the Incomprehisible Party over the coming years, it will tell you all about our recycling, green and waste policies ☺

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

what.......however, you are spot on.

[richw4]

lol Tita, I don't understand it and I made it! So easy to make a political speech huh ☺

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

My favorite is when our polititians start to speak to or about another polititian, even if one has fucked over the other, it starts with such adulations:

My most distinguish and honorable, highly regarded, honest American patriotic (name)

Then comes the blah..blah..blah, therefore, you know that they are liars from the get go, so it does not matter what they have to say after that!

[richw4]

same here in the house of commons, which is hilarious to watch..they get paid for slinging insults back and forth. I could do that! It's amazing anything gets done these days with committees, sub committees and committees to report the findings and so on aggghh!

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

I am putting a committee together, as we speak. I have appointed a sub committee to thouroughly investigate this subject and those findings will be presented at a later date, until then, we will not speak of this while it is under investigation or until your next video! Good night.

[tunisianswife]

I think numpty1972 did sum it up nicely. (and here in the US with all the 'in-fighting' and mud-slinging among parties) is oh so annoying. Same rubbish, different day. great thought-provoking vid Rich and point well made ala' Felix style. lol Susan

[richw4]

Hi Susan, numpty1972 certainly did nail it there! I've watched the US presidential campaign and cannot believe the personal level it gets to. What happened to the real issues that they stand for rather than 'oh Obama pagerised a speech blah blah blah' She did that yada yada ☺

[richw4]

Hi troll, my grandad would turn in his grave if he saw Labour as it is today! Capitalism seems to get to every party in the end.

Enjoy the sun and splitting rock lomao, it's a fine day here too, no need to go to my second home in France today..ooops ;)

[moomay11649]

Say what?

[richw4]

Exactly Moomay! lol HUGS to ya ☺

[numpty1972]

Use a lot of big words, pretend you know what you are talking about, and the people will not want to look stupid by asking questions. Thanks for the video.

[richw4]

Exactly!! Modern politics summed up one comment! Cheers Liam ☺

[Sikosm]

haha i did not understand a single word u said... and that is soo like real politicians! many politicians are just about money, money, money, and power, power, power, and they couldn't care less about anyone else.

i receive an english paper once a week from my grandad who used to live in england and wants to keep in touch with what's going on there. apparently the tories are gaining more popularity. they're a conservative party aren't they?

[richw4]

I didn't understand a word either Saz I think like most politicians they don't really know how people perceive what comes out of their mouths lol!

Big swing to the tories recently who are as you say Conservative. They had an epic reign in the 80's and 90's remember Thatcher? *shudders* but Labour seem to be more like the conservatives were, it's all very confusing for us to separate the parties nowadays!

[Sikosm]

yeah thatcher... hmmm... i didn't realise she was a tory (is that the singular form of tories?). the newspaper that grandad gets is called the international express and i think it has a Tory-leaning bias... it keeps talking about "old fashioned common-sense".

the reason politicians speak like that is so that they seem very important and knowledgeable, and also to make the listener feel unimportant and unable to understand what they are saying. this prevents them from protesting unfair laws.

[daligoddess2006]

That's some knee-slapping funny stuff there! hahahahaha!

[richw4]

Thanks Dali G! It's just like watching the House of Commons on TV each afternoon, they are just like kids in the playground! ☺

[hartnell114]

Order ORDER!

haha, i believe you ARE drunk!

[richw4]

*hic* as a dishonourable member of thish party I refute such alemagashions *hic*

[V15U4L3RR0R]

I'm voting for OMRLP because they're the only party I agree with. Politics is balls these days because the only thing that the big three partys are doing is saying "No I'm more in the middle than the other guy". There's no clear cut political ideals any more. Apart from the London mayoral elections that is. At least we got a chance to vote left or right this time lol

[richw4]

so true that everyone is clammering for the middle ground with policies that are aimed at what the parties believe are most popular. Labour today is more and more like the Conservatives of the 80's. They all seem to have lost the identity on which they were founded. Ooooff for a nap now me head hurts lol ☺

[V15U4L3RR0R]

Totally agree. I'm going to end up starting my own Political party one of these days lol. If I had to vote for one of the big three though it would be Lib Dems purely because they're against the national identity register. But that's a whole different rant all together lol

[richw4]

I would agree with you about Lib Dems (and the identity register) as they seem to be the lesser of all evils but having worked in Local Government for many years they are the party that waste soooo much money on really ill advised policies and services that if they got into power I would not envy trying to balance their books each year. Just my two pence LOL

[V15U4L3RR0R]

Yeah I could believe that as well. at least If I vote for OMRLP, I'll know exactly what stupid things they're going to do lol. If nothing else it'll give me a laugh. I'm sort of annoyed that we didn't have any Local Elections here or I would have totally voted for my local candidate Lord Toby Jug.

[Sikosm]

how many main parties are there? labour, tories, Lib Dem, any others? what is your view about immigration? when i was there in 2005/2006 everyone seemed to be complaining about refugees taking up jobs and getting lots and lots of benefits that citizens didn't receive

[richw4]

Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem plus there are smaler parties such as the Green Party and British national Party etc. Immigration is a real hot potato at the moment Saz. With a lot of Eastern European Countries now joining the EU they are coming over here by the thousands weekly. So much so that crack downs are already happening such as new ideas to make employers employ UK citizens in jobs as a priority if they meet the criteria before looking at foreign nationals...

[richw4]

A city near Hull as a massive Polish population which caused a lot of animosity as they were given housing and benefits when other residents were neglected. Indeed some were given £5000 to buy vehicles so they could get to work!

[Sikosm]

wow!

i don't know if it is true or a conspiracy theory by the english newspaper i read (could be very biased) but it said that there was a conspiracy in brussels to destroy britain's identity and separate it into 3 different sections or something...

[richw4]

wouldn't surprise me, Wales and Scotland each have their own Assembly/parliament now. However, the current government refuses to join in the EU monetary policy in as far as it wants to keep the identy of the Pound and not join the Euro. I guess it would devalue our economy but then again our cost of living is one of the highest in the world.

[KurtGnu]

Too late.. the election was last week!! :) I'm in to Polly tickling, but there's not enough parrots to go round these days..

[richw4]

haha Rob, I like Polly Tickling, Polly's always seem to suck seed in what they do! ☺
