0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Broconomics. This episode is going to be for socialists. I think I'm going to |
0:05.8 | entitle it Economics with crayons. My original conception was I was literally going to have a board |
0:12.8 | with paper and flip charts and crayons and I was going to write all of this stuff out. But then I |
0:17.2 | remember that my handwriting is atrocious and therefore my crayoning is probably |
0:22.3 | completely illegible. |
0:24.3 | So I'm just going to do it with the presentation start again. |
0:27.9 | What I'm looking to do in this episode because I continue to be dismayed about how the Labour |
0:33.2 | French bench and socialists in general, you know, in academia, in one, social media, ones that you meet, |
0:41.2 | they continue to be utterly clueless about the most basic possible concepts of economics. |

0:53.6 | I don't know how many of them will watch it. I will, |

1:26.5 | that they have run out of other people's money |
1:29.5 | again. So what they're thinking is a 2% annual wealth tax on anyone with more than 10 million |
1:37.1 | in assets. This is coming out of whatever body that Neil Kinnock, he was going to be the Prime Minister, |
1:46.7 | the Labour Prime Minister in 1990, was it one or two, but then John Major unexpectedly won, |
1:53.9 | and Neil Kinnock never became Prime Minister, the Labour Prime Minister, |
1:58.7 | which is a bit bloody unfortunate actually, because we then got Tony Blair in 1997. |
2:07.9 | And had, if John Major had not had the temerity to win that 1992 election, Kinnock would have made such a ball's up of it that we never would have got Tony Blair, we never would have got, um, Kinnock would have made such a balls up of it that we never would have got |
