on monday, i'm sorry we missed you. enjoy your service today. security service of ukraine uses. not only that, that is the message, but also the ideology of the nationalists who is asian i hello, i'm manila chad. you are tuned into modus operandi. so he has no political pedigree, he's the child of immigrant to the u. k. he's a political science as the youngest prime minister in modern british history. but is richard knox rise to power as storied as base say this week we'll take a look at the 1st person of color to hold the prime minister ship in the u. k. all

right, let's get into the mo, the me, in the fall of 2022, the u. k was reeling from the death of their beloved queen elizabeth and skyrocketing inflation met with tumble in the market as tore pm liz trust implemented a disastrous financial plan for britain. she resigned from her post just 6 weeks after replacing forest johnson as prime minister. so who's in 10 downing street now? none other than the man who lost to liz truss re, she's soon act. the child. the immigrants of indian heritage is heralded by the media as sort of this immigrant rags to riches. very pale and image concocted by a team of p. r. people that down play his immense wealth and privilege as

a child of a successful dr. father and mother who was not only a pharmacist, but she owned the pharmacy chain well healed. indeed, soon as i grew up to attend private schools, elite universities such as oxford and stanford and california, where he met his heiress wife. he then went on to have a successful career at goldman sachs before trying his hand at politics and just 2015. a 1st time m p in 2015 to take the seat as p. m. in 20. 22. thank you so much. but so next story is less of a rise to the top. rather more of a tale of last man standing or worth flim pickens. to shed more light on this will turn to a former scottish m p. he's now the chairman of the hope over fear grassroots independence campaign in scotland. mr. tommy sheridan is joining us now. so 1st

tommy, thank you for being with us. re, she's still next, ascension 2, p. m is lauded as a win for diversity or even colonialism coming full circle with him. you know, being the 1st person of color to hold this position. the press, harold, in his story rise, he himself fancied this blanket child of immigrant story, but that's not the whole picture. is it? can you fill us in a bit on mister su, next background or his origin story? it's important that everyone understands that read cheap should i doesn't represent the average emigrant to the your key. he as a success story for the experience of emigration to the your director, she should not as a man, barn inch of privilege and living. and i believe this is a man who attended a boarding school as a youngster,

a boarding school that costs almost 50000 pounds a year to attend the overwhelming majority of families across the u. k. i don't am anywhere near 50000 pounds, but that's, that's mine. was able to half his dad p to have them educated, that wouldn't chester boarding skill a private school near to where he was born in south hampton, in the south coast of england. the man was born and a privilege. and the man represents privilege, as no average emigrant story. average emigrants suffer from discrimination, suffer from low income suffer from hosing. this is a man who has never known any of those problems and f, any of the years wish to can so venue from 2007. they will see that

your fresh, bushy tailed, richie sherlock bell, every one in b, b. c documentary that he had many friends that were upper class and out of stock chrissy and he says, and some working class and laughs and says, well, not working class. but then goes on to tell everyone that he goes to state schools to lecture people about the 2 could go to oxford and cambridge just lake hadn't even though he went there from a private boarding school costing almost $50000.00 pounds a year. the mine is privilege, personify this is nor a story of an average american yuki watching his way to the fault. this is amman, born into privilege, and no represent stop privilege. and unfortunately,

he is governing on behalf of the privileged and society. critics compare his victory to that of barack obama here in the states and say his prime minister ship will do as much for race relations, immigration, the class struggle as much as obama's presidency did for solving racism in america . your thoughts on that? will anyone who suggests that the election over it you should not, can they you key will do as much for race relations as the election of bought a car bama that and america they really have to ask themselves. they ask in the real question, because truthfully, do we really think that the election of barack obama has done anason to solve racial tensions, and discrimination and racism within the united states of america?

i don't think so. i think that is clear evidence that racism has go wash, not better. and when you consider the disappointment that barak obama represented for many, many of the support of many people thought that he was going to govern on behalf of the majority. not the corporate minority. and sadly, they would let don't, because bought a bama, he said that was going into just may the catch. that was one of these platforms, universal healthcare for every american citizen, the richest country in the world. and they can't afford to give universal health care is absolutely unforgivable. a bought a car bama all shall present the, the over the largest number of bombings of the countries and the planet. less than mine who was a sensibly amount of piece actually as guilty of dropping more bombs than

even bomb or bush beforehand. i'm so bought a bomb out was that disappointment, in terms of the aspirations of many black americans and those are believed in peace across the planet. and richie shook will do absolutely nothing to improve diversity race relations and the key because the mind stands for the establishment, he stands for the status quo. he stands for changing absolutely nothing as far as discrimination, racialism, poverty, and quality as concerned. all of those indicators within the u. k. have gone wash, and the last 12 years of 40 government and they will continue to get wash eyes,

richie sure, not governs for the wretch. and the privilege you know, the tory popped into you key has been described accurately as the high, you know, poppy because if you study hyenas, the mom was the high, you know, mom or you will see that the 3 on the sick, on the vulnerable on the old as i, you know, do, and natural, the tori does actually had the 5 and society our party that freeze on the week, the vulnerable the old rich. you should look represent that party and he will do nothing to improve society for those of color or did risha soon acts eventual when of the pm's chair come as a last resort. and by that, i'm referring to the run off between he and liz truss. after boris johnson step

down, liz trust defeated soon act only to step down a few weeks later did sooner when only because, and i'm going to put it bluntly, there were no other horses left in the stable. the victory of richie should not into some context. for viewers. we have the you key button was a hash 3 that involves an understanding. thou one, tame, 2 sons of the world. what under the use of british imperialism breton was the dominant of on the planet? no, it's important that context is born and maimed. when you then look at the election in 2019 of boris johnson to become

the play minister of the yuki orest johnson as a buffoon of the highest order, boris johnson as a pathological liar. whose allies have been well documented all across the british press for many, many years. a man who lost several jobs as a columnist and an alarm squeals for telling lies a man who had to resign because of the lazy, tall, did british public a boat. everyone else keeping cove and rules and regulations apart from him. a man who was telling ordinary families that they couldn't visit sick relatives in hospital. and carol, visa, a man neutral families that they couldn't end funerals for loved ones while he was

plotting behind number in and in pinging as f, life was just as joyous as it always has been for that bumbling buffoon. she represented the my opinion that up. so look, decrepit, b t off button, the imperialist nation. it summed up just how low button had sunk and the world that we were represented by somebody like bought us johnson. and everyone thought that's is the, was that gag kind of get it was on this. and then last thrust came along. a lovely one thought, oh, we were broke and reference went from boris, the buffoon to all as the app. so look, let me who doesn't have up low, what's going on while the nation you year on you,

your a women who was completely and utterly over depth and became the shortest shelving british prime minister in history. you have that as the context for registered mark wrench. you should, i wasn't all they did by by the black. each people did become yeah me. and he was rejected even by a minority that bought a pocket membership that was in. he was rejected by them in favor of last a much illusion. i think the less price. and yet last what richie should like that he was a benchley allowed to take the range because i think the expression you've used there been no more horses able. it's quite a good one. certainly is the truth,

that the tory party as an institution, as the king by the d and richey, should i been in place, will not address the absolute destruction of that party as a viable attempt of the next election. i don't particularly re key a star ma, i think your stand as a tory in disguise. but he will win by default. not because in the family or because people cannot stomach any more of the tories. after 12 years of economic ruination and corruption, which has been amongst the washed and british political history. all right, tommy sheridan don't go anywhere. they're still so much more to unpack here. coming up next,

we'll examine why regimes to next policies from domestic issues like pay inequality to nato. ukraine is really just more of the same. we'll discuss it when we return, said type. the ammo will be right back. ah, ah, ah luis to come to the russian state. little, never, i've stayed on the phone and the most landscape div. mm hm. and i'm not getting all sons and up with eclipse in 55 with. okay, so, and i need to bargain speed. anyone else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia today, and school ortiz spoke neck, even our video agency,

roughly all band on youtube with, with the affordable care. we're getting them business and you cleaned with us showing you how many cars, gray you, when you wrote, who didn't go to really just such, not curriculum for those children in for the jewels to suction. sure ruckel might have author of the additional student to woodshop wishing look you get thrown with them on the problem and you're still not sure if you're here or sick, if you're not the study skills,

plenty of places coming to enough on ok, which, which in logan it was just showing up put stickers to put him on because i knew you don't wish to know for the don't know if i could just to do that. and then we're going to go to these just opinions and come on me welcome back to the m o m a military. and so the old saying goes new boss. same as the old boss. will this be applicable to reach you soon back? tommy sheridan is re joining us. thank you for sticking around, tommy. so 2022 proved to be

a pretty wild year for the u. k. a revolving door at 10 downing street. the death of the queen energy prices, skyrocketing inflation, exploding yet with each successive pm who steps in the more financial commitment made ating the kiev regime. in this proxy, nato war, risha soon knock was believed to be a fiscal conservative, and was expected to implement more practical financial policies. yet he's doubling down on the very financial commitments that his predecessor boris johnson made to ukraine. now, the type of monetary promises that lad, mr. soon act to resign as johnson's exchequer. how do you square his priorities sooner? and the british establishment as a whole, are determined to maintain their support for the natal proxy war and ukraine. and number one, of course, as to prevail, to cover for all of the problems that the british population face. you

see the u. k. as in the up of the was them felician for almost the years. the you key has a standard of loving crisis. that means the standard of living is expected to fall by a full 7 percent over the next 12 months. we have food places at the highest of us in terms of advance places. we have energy, places that are on, on affordable. we have what cars being forced to take part in straight actions. hundreds of thousands, millions of what cars are going to be forced to takes big action the voted the voted for and the post to industry and the kitchen and health and transport. all cross the yuki what cause of getting forced to fight back? but what is the response of the government or nothing to do?

we know a fault golf as there was a new korean in the past, the russians blame the russians. so as it's very convenient for the brace, astonishment to continue this coverage. and so, or for the proxy war and your team because it gives them a bookmark, it gives them some victim blame for the problems. and the 2nd reason, of course, the maintain the support as because british aerospace and all of the other bag armaments companies are making packet, making a packet of this war just as they have done in relation to the horrible horrible fight the conflict and yemen, which is destroy dot country has introduced the biggest humanity and disaster than the planet just know of moments which have been supplied to short. the several 1000000000 pounds was adamant when supplied and all done for that particular point

. what to be executed as disgraceful and, but i couldn't. and america i banged up. well, is racial soon actually youth care a boon for the u. k. you know, having a young pair of eyes at 10 downing street or will, his age proved to be a liability, especially on the global stage. because by contrast, us president joe biden is approximately twice his age. is quite clear to most independent observers of politics across the world that by the chain you've reached into your eighty's and you've been around the electrical shock up for as long as job by the eyes stain to hang up the political. i add joe biden, and my opinion is if he has the answer to america's problems, then the asking the wrong questions to begin with because the mind does not

represent the future of america, doesn't speak up for all the people across america. this is a mind who was going to, we to under maine, the positive progress of policies of the late so bad. nissan, those were family sandals. were talking about universal medicare for all would be on the sanders was talking a cancellation of a student tuition fees to left so many millions of the poverty that know read because of trying to pay off student dressing fees. when bailey sandals was talking about a minimum wage of $15.00, i know up to try and tackle which poverty, jo bivens are typed up, one of those policies. he has refused to embrace any of those policies you'll buy them. has continued to go home, more or less in the same vein as donald trump, that on this george bush that before him in our woods. nothing is changing as far

as us society, as the wretch are becoming even more seemingly wretch. whereas the pool of the is getting becker and becker, that's why the problems in america are growing. in my opinion, the divisions in america are growing and as a country that is very much at war with itself. i think the age of joe biden does help that, but more important than he's, each is what he stands for. this is a man who was behind the legal invasion of a right. that's a mind to been behind. supporting tax breaks for the multi national corporations in america, but not supported a loving minimum wage for all the new what cars and america. so it's not job by age . that's the, i guess problem why he stands for this the biggest problem. and that's the same

into you kima threat sheesh tonight. circling back to soon acts indian heritage soon act is thereby asian. will his ethnicity be reflected in his foreign policy towards the global south or will his financial status cloud, his decision making abilities, especially since he's now been quoted as calling china and russia the enemy of the u. k. dish the, the election of richie should, i think, will change britain's colonialist imperialist, chauvinistic attitude, asia, and china are deluded. thus mine, as recently ought to be at the end of the iraq, of course, deal relations with jane of mine. eyes done his duty and been obedient to his bosses in america who have been trying to work up until rushing, feeling,

anti chain of feeling and see i run feeling for many, many years now because the want to sheep the world, the way they see it, which is all about free market, apple deliver them, and the ad success and promotion of business are all cost. that's the most important thing in the world. and what will happen under richie, should i as breton, will continue to be a colonial or ruler and chauvinistic country as far as asia, as far as india, as far as pakistan as can see him. you know, people ought to just pause for a moment and try and think about what a lot of women said. in 1979 when message structure was elected in the u. t. a lot of women thought or greece, the 1st women pray managed out

a need. your key. that is great for women rates. that is great for the advancement of women. at was an absolute asked for women, why? because she introduced policies that what are both economists division, she along the way geez, of all the new people. she had the sectors that most women. what then the adding say goes, what did that mean? amend them more and more women were driven into poverty and despair spent the fight . but she was a woman play minister and that is the same story. the hush to be applied directly should not. he has a man of color. he has a mind rizza, a heritage, his parents, and grand evans, and dia and pakistan. but you have a situation where he read present nothing more and nothing less than the chauvinistic british colonialism that britain has always embodied.

all right, unfortunately i have to leave that right there. tommy sharon and thank you so much for this conversation and that is going to do it for this weeks episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next week to figure out the ama ah ah ah ah ah, with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantic slave dre. the slave traders from european countries

started building forth on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organ,

nation of united nations classifies that trans atlantic slave trade as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. a operation aerodynamic began shortly after world war 2 and lasted almost 3 decades. it wasn't a major effort to try and split the ukraine off from the soviet union, u. s. intelligence. together with hypnos, executioners trained hundreds of saboteurs to be deployed in the soviet union, stalkers on the east of alberto. so from, well, i'm starting with service unions more. yes. today, a security service of ukraine use is not only the statistic message, but also the ideology of the nationalist with

a, with the headlines this our yet another revelation by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh. i see says the german chong and intelligence agencies helped can feel us involvement in the no stream sabotaged russia. was that britain's plan to send you rein me and i'm munition to you. quinn is a part of quote, nuclear mcgayden. as london washington tried to downplay the devastating effects of those weapons. also standing in the middle of a crater made by that such go ballistic missile, which is capable of carrying.
