Rory Bremner as Des Browne - Trident on Dragons' Den

[themusicdr]

another fantastic(and v convincing) sketch by r bremner

[IanElliott2]

you really cant bring logic into a decision as important as this! Classic!

[RJWooller]

I like Bremner and like Dead Ringers. Are they still making the latter or not???

[mooseling1]

scotland can not be independent, the entire economy is based upon a source that is running out- oil.

This is a great video though!

[GlasgowGlobal]

lol another economic theory based on nothing at all. Either stop talking crap or get some hard facts sunshine.

[alacas69]

What utter, ignorant, nonsense!

[mooseling1]

If Scotland is independant then all major businesses and wealthy people will levae the country, this will ruin all of the economy as North Sea oil will not last forever.

Then as the rich go this absolutley stupid tax will have to go to the next set of classes. They will then leave and go to England- or similar, The tax can't be imposed on the lower class because they don't have enough money, Scotland would become a shell of poor people and neds.

[alacas69]

Whats the subject of your comment? What TAX. This idea of the RICH buggering off, has been used countless times by the scaremongering capitalist elite. Its the educated we need to keep and expand on generally, those ruthless folk who have creamed off (tax free) the pot at the expense of others we can well do without as a nation! The council tax replacement is popular and has been massively misrepresented; forget all of Labores stealth taxes over the past 10 years of course,oh so blinkered!

[mooseling1]

Are you insane, even the SNP were saying scotland could be like Iceland and Irleand, well iceland is on the verge of losing everything and ireland isn't doing that great at the moment either.His main point was that a scottish business can be great, using the RBS, of dear. That is also about to go.That stupid tax law he wants, it woujld prompt all the rich and educated to leave and leave a hollow shell of neds and poorer people. Then again, Glasgowglobal and alacus69,that is probably you.

[alacas69]

I note you miss the other countries out aside from Iceland that are doing ok. Out of interest have you taken a good look at the finances of your beloved UK plc!! Bankrupt Britain at this rate. Scotland may not become a super wealthy country if Independent but I doubt it could get worse than the real state of the UK. We have the Oil and in this world until someone else invents something new, Energy, OIL is power and extremely valuable!

[calicheSCOT]

Hear hear! Good to see someone speak sense and forming a proper argument on youtube for once alacas69.

[Bankiedrummer]

These america companies have got to be told that they cannot operate our armed forces, at first I thought it was a joke but when i looked into it :O this is ridiculous.

This is why Scotland needs independance, This is just a big case of Big brother.

[talatsmum]

i hope all these clever people have good well paying jobs...

i feel a bit dumb lol

[hotdogfilms]

Like it matters if Britain has a Nuclear deterant. If any nukes are launched anywhere at anyone, the Americans will retaliate in the pursuit of justice. It's called mutually assured destruction (MAD for short... hehe). Britain is pretty much covered by all the countrys in the UN anyway.

[reg2800]

excellent! A much more intelligent argument against nuclear weapons than the environmental or end-of-the-world scenarios.

[stk006]

INNIT BELOW*

[scottishlad1987]

good at pointing out how shit our leaders really are

[Interscene]

Never seen so much Anti-British from a Brit?

It's satire, we've been doing it for 300 years~!

What's the point of a Nuke we can't fire without the Americans permission, the presidents codes and it takes 72hours to program?

Lets be honest, spend the money on hospitals, and if Britian gets Nuked, let the Americans retaliate, because either they will nuke the other guys back and cause armageddon, or they'll refuse to tell us how the missiles work and we'll have wasted the money after all.

[jjalmood]

the way i see it is that america is the dominant party in the anglo-american alliance ever since ww2, although blair took this to new hights..

what the americans now want is that britain ties its fate to the usa. that way the alliance will surely be dominated by the white house.

what i want to say is that america wants to become a major part in the national security equation of the uk, regardless of who sits at no 10. this would greatly affect the uk's future decisions in regards to china russ

[Interscene]

What alliance?

The only wars fought together were political.

Korea: UN mandate, 6 UN countries.

Vietnam: American only, Brits new better than to get involved.

Argentina: British only, American's refused to give ANY help or let us use their bases to even refuel.

Gulf War: UN Mandate, several other countries involved, US wanted to quit as soon as possible.

There is no alliance, just Bush and Blair warmongering. This 'alliance' was purely conceited ambition.

Britian doesn't NEED Nukes!

[jjalmood]

due to the word limit i had to mutilate my comment above by severing many words and sentences. plz replace the word "alliance" with "drag".. yeah, i guess that would be more approprate, they wanna drag u in all their future "adventures".

they said it themselves: this is the era of alliances.

(they= different faces/names, same mentality)

[robertwood106]

this is funny and also points out how much bulshit we masses are fed by our shit corrupt tosser leaders

[micknicholson]

No -its bullshit and spin itself. For example:

Halliburton was a Minority shareholder in Devonport, now its sold its interest and the yard is 100% british

While one submarine is on deterrent patrol at all times there are normally two or three at sea (the others are in transit, training, trials etc)

Why is it that goverment critics can spin as much as they like but the govt can't?

[Danboylufc]

Goon. was out a long time ago...

[spinozacelt]

excellent satire....quality:-)

[fluffette]

Bad bad impression. Nothing like him. Satire is quality though.

[hotdogfilms]

top quality satire! independant of Bush... lol!

[DavidTL]

Quite hilarious, but I've never seen so much anti-British from a British person, it seems to be on the increase that does.

[Natasha26]

it's not really anti-british. it's anti current government policy. But what's being said in that clip is true, the trident money (£20bn) is going to US firms.

[myaser88]

anti-government!

[neoconhitman]

It's actually very pro-British. No point in giving countless billions of pounds of tax payers money to the US.
