Between the highest levels of politics in the u. K. And the highest levels of some of the Biggest Companies in the u. K. Delivering for the government and shooting the Prime Minister that all is fine when all was not fine we see the pieces line in front of us huge questions political questions have to be answered and what was the Prime Minister she didnt do diligence that was you just take in a friends word is everything will be fine lets have another jenin tonic is this going to act this way of putting lives over government yet again another version of it ok i want to get on to the philosophical implications of this as regards the economy but there will be people in this country wondering whether in your country wondering about what happens in the aberdeen western peripheral road what happens is that will scotlands Railway Electrification whatever to edinburghs waverley platforms the capital of scotlands rail stations are in trouble because of really well having governments have to do the best for continuity here we have we have to make sure that services are delivered for the republican or bailing them out. Just follow the other girl over the problem here with with Companies Like this is the privatization of profit and the socialization of loss when clearly and were making the money and the money is gone in bonuses the money is gone in a shareholder dividends but when the problem comes the problem is socialism the same with the banks its the same with many other things with a near liberal experiment is just about falling apart i dont i dont it is the the we have delivering public contracts while you take short term profits i new have new viewer no responsibility or no worry about the long in the medium to longer term has to be of concern and i think there is this penny has dropped both from the conservative and liberal benches in the house of commons that there is adriel problem with the we Companies Look very short term and our companies ive known have gone on the stock market. Sometimes have got themselves off it quite quickly again the betting i think arguably did drop with Jeremy Corbett all his political life in the few of his supporters the bottom of the labor party already pennies going to drop for the Scottish Government because youre saying youre giving these commitments is london already talking with the scottish parlance saying theyre going to give you the money to continue these projects is massively important restructure what i mean i think i think first about where we want to make sure that those working on the u. K. Government projects in scotland find themselves in is in a secure position that the Government Works night indeed to make sure that these jobs continue when we had problems in scotland where with by far been talent and influence the u. K. The Scottish Government what make the point where tata steel and motherwell we did what we did to bring them in it to keep jobs so its beholden on the u. K. Government this is a beer mouth created by the u. K. Government in many ways and that we defend the taxation comes from all taxpayers theyre not emptied scholars and i think you know the u. K. Government is a huge role to play here we obviously have certain contacts we have to keep going we cant leave we have really station for instance as a building site in perpetuity. Theres the i mean that whatever it was hes companies have at the end of the day they have the public over a battle because this has to be done and we all know what has to be done and if they go bust and they walk away with their bonuses and the profits or whatever weve still got to go and pick up the pieces and in that survey also im with this privatizing that the privatizing fetish thats been driven pushed the thought through the in london what has to us that given the brics it means the shin fein has become a very Important Party to the government obviously the g. O. P. Is very good important because they would be Prime Minister without a world where is scotland when it comes to negotiating monies off of back for through karelian and other things because you know even on the border shin fein and the d. P. Can talk about talk face to face theyre down here talking of western solar thing i think the point there that should in fairness abstention is nationalists dont have the clout that they might do for the voters of novel only conserve and irish nationalism is important now as it never has been before. Unionism most of the u. K. Unionism is that was you know that that voice could be diminished in favor of the European Union the Single Market had the Northern Irish people voted for participation nationalists as opposed abstention nationals thats a matter for them but its just a point thats worth observing that theyve left the field open in the absence of any government in Northern Ireland theyve left if you look into the city or representatives of Northern Ireland which are the unionist politicians at the moment on the are. So everyone seems to say whereas you are going to have a hard border whatever im not saying as m. P. Should have a violin are we as a citizen isnt there something in the we are giving we have a weak position here not at all because. If there is a soft border with ireland that is a soft border with scotland why would the u. K. Government who the u. K. Government or what resumes see and what these are may well have to do are two Different Things that is becoming clearer and clearer in the backs of negotiations if you have no. They have exceeded every demand of the you border of the island of ireland remember its the e. U. Border. Me when she has with one member so that with everybody else because the most favored nation status of the w. Would mean that youve got to treat everybody else if you can the other so thats just Utter Nonsense to talk about scot on the talk about scotland as its third its main export market is in england another sort of the public of irelands main export market is england as well you dont have to shit a government to read what leaders want what you what you do how well i think when we have our independence referendum in the next fifteen months now begin is all the leverage we need and we have forty nine percent just now and you can only get fifty one percent by implication the e. U. Sixty eight percent support in scotland the e. U. Is far more popular in scotland than the u. K. Thats very damning for the status quo on the government and the government in london is that just probably the reasons why we got the likes of kelly and the bad government of london thats feeding into that political picture to give you everything we spoken about has been in the context of the failure of Lehman Brothers in twenty zero eight and of course the failure of r. B. S. The massive bank was bailed out by the british taxpayer tell me about what youve been talking about in parliament lately about the. Quite controversial very controversial take the scotland out of the upset or else be as want to close an awful lot of branches and little scotland will damage the economy of little scotland hugely theyve made no Impact Assessment no what he new concern its just something that a much more board level theyve decided to do for instance my own small island they want to take away the last bank the only bank thats ever been it and they want to take it away which means people would have a decent travel to go back and elsewhere. And for some sort of context the bonus part of r. B. S. A sixteen and a half Million Pounds this year would pay for two hundred sixty six years of salary at my local branch so weve seen corporate greed buccaneering devil me kid attitude. To society around them just for their own personal enrichment and you know when you think in broadcasting at the moment i dont theres a place that rush today of course but theres an argument about gender but gender pay a one to one ratio which end of p. That levels men and women get paid the same bigger question here at the mo a good place to get at the bigger question though becomes the ratio between the top level at r. B. S. And their bonuses and all these types of companies on the bottom level because the rishi was there no obscene it obscene and you know that theres some sort of revolution but after that have to take place but if you had any way the union leader to take scotland out of the absolutely i mean they are going to close a branch as well as i. Said in parliament they call themselves the royal bank of scotland while while throwing scotland to one side to a scotlands economy to one side not giving a damn frankly for them to continue the r. B. S. To continue to use the name scotland this should be seen as its almost criminal you dont really have to be a palace to find out where the queen could take the royal out of it well that might be the next step they would just because a bank that they might be dodgy if they closed all the branches of us will have something to say i hope they do i want them to come on the big bonuses youre meeting with them the world over theyve offered meetings at various levels but i want them to come the chief executive if he hears this fantastic was good he can come and talk to an island of a thousand hebridean and explain why its a good idea to close the branch in the area on his bonus alone remember the whole lot of them is to them sixty six years on his bonus alone would pay for about sixty years of the salary so you know if theres money in the financial whiz kid were told he is mckeown id like to see ross mckeown come along and talk the islanders and explain it because these are the princes of the of the modern new liberal experiment let them come and tell the people hes been male thank you thank you after the break. Why have the soviet unions black revolutionaries been written out of the history books we speak daughter of Red International. In black caribbean Margaret Stevens about the continued fight against native nation imperialism being waged today by the worlds looking glasses on from the headlines why were losing the war on terror in iraq losing the war on Child Poverty in america. Coming over but you have going underground. Are the Mainstream Media intentionally gaslighting the public against President Donald Trump three verse appears to be equally true trump does with style gas like the media what kind of body politic is this creating as the us become a collection of hysterical drama queens. Young children have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million a doing so today. This culture led to the development of bolivias new liberal and highly controversial childrens code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work under certain circumstances one does anything this. Is only. Eat well but thats the end all. The things years. But there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operating completely outside the local. Mining work is strictly forbidden by the children but its never enforced and that means the school boy minus continue risking their lives for the money they need to survive on. Well come back when we could go through Something Like stories now is because of our liberal democrat member of Parliament Lembit give our shared speech last night fascinating but did you make any money out of shorting karelian this government contract or as so many of the city of london did for getting in for a moment the tens of thousands of jobs at risk now ive got all my money on uneek through a bet between kim jong and donald trump cant lose after and god knows you think im drawing is going to take over this is good for this oxford professor daily doings blog surely very informed Danny Dorling he says on Martin Luther king day twenty eighteen Child Poverty rates are still rising in the usa and the u. K. But it is getting born lady nine years ago this week and a hero in history but what dollar says is he would be hated today because his legacy has been pretty much thrown out the window poverty as a twenty five percent in america thats the highest for Child Poverty anywhere in the developed world but hold on a sec we can crow about it from the u. K. Because it looks like within two years were going to overtake that up to thirty percent if you include homeless issues and benefits issues to pull in but the government for at least one tory council has a solution to all of this lets go to the metro surely a solution to the awful terrible problem fear not this is brilliant from Gloucester Council which is about two hundred miles west of london tory council puts up poster telling people not to give money to the homeless its beautiful in the world well it would be badly spent if you give it to the homeless the posters are you really helping Homeless People well i think the answer is yes but apparently not in the councils eyes there is a sort of subtext to this which arguably makes sense you give it to organize charities and then they give the money in a measured way but come on these people are hardly raking it in they have got private jets there apparently some of them and i quote the story are in accommodation receiving support and the benefits of human beings having their little also. So i think that the c. E. O. s of britains Biggest Charities need those salaries in excess of hundreds of thousands of pounds so youre also hurting them when you give that money but again surely outside all of this debate is the government should be building not war houses im not supporting Saddam Hussein when i say there was a better housing situation in iraq with before the twenty three war forces when your terms i think you are about suicide bombings in baghdad puncture you found hope now where did the new found New York Times hope i think it might be right what two dozen People Killed in the past forty eight hours or two suicide bombers killed more than twenty four people in baghdad we dont see this in the western media very much its boring its old news and its not our boys and girls who are dying there its just the vocals and we did quite a lot of that ourselves but if you look at whats really going on there theres no kind of peace there weve lost our boys over there because i want to glee the british defacto support for ice is linked and alqaeda linked groups in syria the failed attempt to destroy the president government and all retreating into iraq doesnt count amateurish theyre not there all of them and here are not officially working for us well within the past twenty four hours or so the p. L. O. Has suspended recognition of a state of israel which was the big oslo decision until israel abides by the u. N. Security Council Resolutions are regarding nine hundred sixty seven borders what this story from here at switch looks pretty gloomy to me gloomy economics news on top of the other unrest. Economy infrastructure on verge of collapse Israeli SecurityOfficials Say well they should know because in large part theyre causing it it looks like and i quote again official the gaza strip is going like from zero to below zero in short the infrastructure is failing ninety five percent of the water there isnt drinkable and the sewage is being pumped straight into the mediterranean and the reason the israelis should be concerned about. This is because if you take everything away from a group theyve got nothing to lose and this could literally blow up right back in their faces second thing in a story theres an increase in infection and potential epidemic that pulls of disease there and those germs they dont respect borders theyre not going to be kept out of israel by a war this is a classic example of cutting your own nose off to spite your face and theyve been bombing. Palestine in the past forty eight seventy two hours the biggest open air prison camp in the world today theres some good news though theyve got six or seven hours of electricity now because they have to buy from you guessed it israel some type of internet in the west where they were hoping thank you. Well for a post from gaza are on the verge of collapse of the revolutionary nations labeled by the us president joining me now from new jersey in the usa is professor of history at essex county gallager and Us Army VeteranMargaret Stephens whose new book Red International and black caribbean is out now professor vargas even thank you so much for joining us just before we go to the amazing book that youve written your thoughts on the fact that in the past seventy two hours maybe in iraq double suicide bombers killed perhaps scores of people in baghdad so many so many years after the invasion when we should place when you were in the u. S. Army and i think it speaks to the way in which western imperialism. Has not only imploded in the middle east but the ways in which the working class resistance movements of the past one hundred years failed to generate the kind of internationalism and solidarity necessary for workers to figure out what the viable. Resistance need to be would you say that your new book describes the wholesale destruction of working close with winds which in a way explains why donald trump arguably is right to call nations in the western hemisphere. Now the book is more about a heroic
