brad johnson here uh from americans from
00:03
intelligence foreignform.org
00:05
it is march 2nd 2021. uh kind of some
00:08
interesting things going on
00:10
in england good old uk the problems
00:13
there are starting to accumulate and be
00:16
serious
00:16
boris johnson has not
00:20
really worked out to be what he had
00:23
promised he was going to
00:26
freeze taxes and do a lot of things to
00:28
try to make the economy start to
00:30
grow again one of the things that just
00:32
is such a no-brainer in england with
00:34
such a horrible
00:35
housing shortage but yet lots of land
00:38
available
00:39
uh you know if they if they allow
00:41
development to take place in different
00:43
areas
00:44
uh but it’s just it’s one of those
00:46
things that’s so badly shackled there
00:48
the the industrial nature of the people
00:52
in england
00:53
has is is basically you know held back
00:56
in
00:56
chains and not allowed to go forward and
00:58
do things of course these are all
01:00
self-inflicted and the kind of
01:03
crappy economy and bringing in
01:05
immigrants and the
01:07
socialized programs that are out there
01:09
that are so expensive
01:11
has put them into it you just absolute
01:13
shambles economically
01:15
with covid on top of it the business is
01:17
being destroyed all of their
01:19
it’s created a cast crunch they’re
01:21
borrowing money hand over fist
01:23
this is where socialism always ends up
01:25
and this is where it’s going there and
01:27
as i said
01:28
boris johnson has really not shown
01:29
himself capable to
01:31
handle this and turn it all around he’s
01:33
he’s
01:35
turning out to be rather a large failure
01:37
and we’re seeing some of the things
01:39
discussed that are there for taxes i
01:41
mean
01:42
um like death taxes in in the uk
01:45
now in some cases are reaching 80
01:48
percent
01:50
80 i mean that means anything that
01:54
that you have that you accumulate in
01:55
your lifetime you’re not able to pass on
01:57
to your children anymore
01:59
if you own a piece of property uh that’s
02:01
that’s worth very much money at all
02:04
uh and there’s an 80 tax on it that your
02:06
children have to come up with
02:08
pay off that debt in order to keep the
02:10
house or
02:11
business property or whatever it is you
02:13
know that’s just untenable
02:15
you you might as well you know get sell
02:18
it get your 20
02:19
out and try to go buy something else i
02:20
mean
02:22
it’s just uh like i said becoming
02:25
untenable but they’re so cash strapped
02:27
that they’re going after everything
02:28
they’re talking about
02:30
raising corporate tax uh you know 19 to
02:33
20
02:33
bringing it up to 23 percent increasing
02:36
income tax
02:37
increasing tax on fuel which that’s
02:40
always a problem because well it looks
02:42
like oh yeah you know we’re only raising
02:44
it you know two cents or five cents
02:46
in the u.s we would use cents there you
02:48
know hey
02:49
they have the based on the pound but at
02:51
any rate how much ever you raise it
02:53
is it increases the cost of everything
02:56
because
02:56
almost every product in your store is
02:58
trucked in that’s how those materials
03:00
get there
03:01
even gasoline is trucked in so all of
03:04
those things
03:05
impact on your life because everything
03:07
is going to go up it’s highly
03:09
inflationary so all of this
03:12
borrowing money highly inflationary fuel
03:15
taxes
03:16
taxing self uh employed all of these
03:19
things like on
03:20
property taxes they’re talking about
03:22
taking those up through the roof those
03:24
are paid annually
03:25
that makes it very expensive to own
03:27
property so
03:28
all of these things are very damaging
03:31
and make the housing crisis there
03:33
worse not better makes inflation start
03:36
to go out of control so
03:37
the economy in england is starting to
03:40
spin out of control
03:42
the inflationary pressures are starting
03:44
to become really great
03:46
and what they’re doing is doubling down
03:48
on weight what made it bad in the first
03:50
place
03:51
so there’s there’s and there’s no
03:52
discussion of anything boris johnson
03:54
said he’s got this
03:55
triple tax law blah blah blah all that’s
03:58
falling apart they’re raising taxes left
03:59
and right
04:01
it is one of those situations that’s
04:03
quickly spinning out of the control
04:05
runaway inflation is next on the menu in
04:07
england
04:08
and from there it just goes downhill so
04:10
this is a
04:11
a very serious problem to our friends
04:14
and partners in the uk
04:18
you’ve got to get your immigration and
04:19
economic policies in order
04:21
you’ve got to throw off this
04:24
socialism and the socialist policies
04:27
that are just
04:28
a boot hill on the uh or a yet boot heel
04:31
on the throat of the economy of your
04:34
country
04:34
this is the same problem we’re facing in
04:36
a lot of the eu uh
04:38
england and the united states and canada
04:40
this this socialist
04:42
uh leech on our backs is just destroying
04:45
the economy worldwide
04:47
and we’ve got countries like china the
04:49
communist countries that are perfectly
04:51
willing and ready to step
04:52
in and take world control and that would
04:55
be such a sad
04:56
place indeed to see a a a
04:59
a world dominated by a communist party
05:02
meaning you’d have one guy
05:03
in charge and anybody anything he wants
05:06
anyone he wants anyone he wants dead can
05:10
be done
05:11
snap over fingers that’s not good for
05:13
anyone this is contributing to it
05:16
england you’ve got to start to organize
05:18
and fight back
05:19
fight back for the traditional values
05:21
the conservative values
05:23
that make society safe bring social
05:26
justice to more people more wealth to
05:28
more people
05:29
than anything and everything else
05:36
combined
05:52
