This is definitely one of my fav UK rap reactions that I've done so far!! 😳😭 thank you guys for suggesting Dave to me! He's an amazing "lad" 😁 400 LIKES ON THE VIDEO 🦋✨

the grenfell thing goes even deeper. It wasn't just "not well maintained". Because, as you say, it was a poor area surrounded by wealthier areas, they put cladding on the outside of the tower block to try and make it look nicer for the wealthy people who had to look at it. This cladding was EXTREMELY flamable. They also failed to tell the fire department about it, so when it inevitably caught fire they just told people to stay in their flats, which would be the protocol in a regular building, but with this cladding on the side it just cooked all these people alive.

I adore how educational everyone is being in this comment section, no fighting no debates because we all know that what Dave is speaking is facts because what has occurred in our country is atrocious May we never forget the poor souls who died in Grenfell, the bridge attack. May we work together to help the NHS back on its feet. For the sake of our country x

The new prime minister when this was released was Theresa May, Boris became prime minister after she resigned

Just a quick one. Big ups to you for working in a nursing home. That's not an easy job by any means.

Question Time is actually a real event every Wednesday where the prime minister is asked questions by Members of Parliament (mps). Also our NHS is the National Health Service so all of our medical stuff is under them. The NHS has been around since after the Second World War and in the last decade or so it’s really been struggling with funding. I keep editing my comment when I’m watching the video 😭. The little character you saw I’m pretty sure was supposed to be Theresa May our old prime minister. The main reason why grenfell was so disastrous was because of the cheap flammable cladding that was placed on the outside of the building to make it look “nicer”. After the fire loads of buildings all across the country had to have the cladding removed. Charlie Hebdo is a french magazine they make political cartoons and comics and are very left wing. The head office was attacked by two shooters in 2015, 12 people were killed. Grenfell was horrible, you could hear kids screaming and saw people jumping just trying to escape. Also Grenfell wasn’t a terror incident but the London Bridge Attack was. I hope this answered some of your questions !!

so a big issue in Brexit was that they promised that if we left we would have an extra 350 million euros that we would stop giving to the EU, and instead could give it to the NHS (our national health service), and so people voted leave, and then literally the next day they were like "lol yeah no we never said that we would give the money to the NHS...". People will argue about NHS funding, i have worked in the NHS for my entire life. I have a Masters degree and yet I earn about £20k a year (whats that, like $30k?), I have worked on various wards and in different services and its getting worse and worse, they are literally strangling the entire health service so that they can try and justify privatising it and having a model mire similar to american health care with health insurance, where if you are poor you just die. There's a lyric from a UK band which i think sums this up the best: "illness is not an indulgence you should have to pay for, nor is it a crime for which you should be punished". I FIRMLY believe that health care is a basic right that should be free to everyone at the point of access. The fact that the gouvernment seem to be doing their best to destroy that completely kill me.

NHS is literally everything for us. Broke your leg? Go NHS. About to give birth? Go NHS. In a car accident? Go NHS. Any incident can occur and it’s all for free.

Dont know how I mixed up Grenfell with Winterfell lol but whatever 🥴🧐 (Daenerys deserved better)

“He’s only 22?” He was 19 back then. Also, react to Hangman: it’s not as political but the facts he spits are just immaculate.

I love how you digest every word, thats nothing less than dave deserves because hes a genius!

We have a show called 'Question Time' or sometimes 'Prime Minister's Question Time' where the public can ask politicians question about issues. Thats why its called that.

Fraser T Smith is the other guy playing piano on his Brits performance I think.

the NHS is the entirety of our countries medical system. it’s our hospitals, doctors, dentists etc all of which are free for everyone. and they’re basically getting crazily underfunded and that means people aren’t get treated or are left waiting for insane times etc

Grenfell tower housed predominantly POC and the cladding on the outside that as used wasn't fire safety approved and it was known by the local council and building company, the firefighters on the night it caught fire didn't know this so told people to stay in the tower bc they thought they could put it out normally but didn't know that the cladding was a fire hazard

When you said "Lying is the basis of politics" WOW! The problem is the RARE truth to power 'politician' will never succeed, especially in the US, although the UK is learning fast !!!!!!!!!

Fun fact: Dave is of Nigerian heritage like you.

‼️‼️PLEASE READ IT ALL‼️‼️ It’s grenfell by the way 🤣 David Cameron was our previous prime minister before thereasa may who made an election and said that if we voted to leave he would resign making Theresa our prime minister but if we voted to stay in the eu he would still be our prime minister the uk voted for us to leave the eu forcing him to resign nobody liked David or not many so that’s why the general public saw this as an opportunity to get a new prime minister but it meant that we were forced to leave the eu which the government didn’t want and they truly believed we wouldn’t vote him out of office but of course he was hated so he kinda screwed himself over believing we would care more about leaving than him resigning,so that’s why we have left the eu ,well in the process of leaving. Also the uk is the same when you were saying the us promised u benefits but haven’t received them for being essential workers. It’s the exact same over here both my parent are nhs nurses, constantly facing corona. The Conservative party (the party of the prime minster who are in office ) ( boris)were debating weather nhs workers should received a pay bonus, before the corona , they cheered when nhs workers did not received a pay bonus. Then when Boris became ill with the virus they thanked the key workers , asked retired nhs workers to start work because it was too much for the nhs, promised us a pay bonus because of our hard work , clapped every week , when Boris became better nhs did not receive a pay increase rather just some continued clapping. The general public are constantly arguing that there should be a increase in money given to the nhs by the government, complaining when they become ill and there is no beds and not enough workers to care for them. But what people don’t realise is that the government are increase the price of uni cost for nurses which doesn’t help the case of not having enough nurses. When people complain about waiting times people don’t realise that hospitals aren’t big enough and no money from government is supporting them to increase facilities it isn’t going to worthy cause tons of money from the government to support Brexit could of been used by the nhs. So when Boris became Ill they cared so much about our nhs but now it’s back to normal now he’s well 🤷🏼‍♀️the government don’t support our nhs they just don’t and complain that it’s going to brake. Just a reminder the nhs anniversary of 72 years is on Sunday oh and guess what the government will be out clapping with the rest of the general public but they can’t support us with the money given the workers higher pay and lower education cost oh no that would be too much to ask 😤🙄sorry for the rant xx

NHS is public universal healthcare. Certain Politicial parties tend to under fund it, even though we all contribute to it.

Sorry, 4 mins in and I needed to comment! You girl are amazingggggg, the way you react....I loved your reaction from the last Dave vid and I can see you received a well deserved 32k views 👏🏼 and thank you for going back 10 secs you won’t miss any bars 😁 so Dave is my absolute fav uk artist!!! I’ve met him in person at his album signing AND seen him perform live ❤️ I don’t have words to describe him as an artist but girl you neeed to react to his award winning album Psychodrama. You react in a way that appreciates Dave’s lyrics and I know you’ll enjoy his whole album. Just do it you’ll LOVE it!!!

NHS is the National Health Service. Free health care cradle to grave (well we pay taxes)

We hit 20k last night!!! 😳😭🥳

Loved the reaction again Favour!! None of this is technically about Boris. The 'new' Prime Minister Dave's talking about is Theresa May. She was in power at the time of the song's release. :)

You got my subscription for this one, thank you for doing what you do as a job your a unsung hero

Lit reaction. Dave’s too talented, Dave - hangman is a must, and lady Leshurr - r.i.p

Great review! Loved what you said about nursing too. I loved my old care job in the UK but had to quit because it was so exhausting and underpaid. Thanks for doing one of the important jobs!

Great reaction again! Here are some of the answers to your questions during the review: Question Time is a play on the name of a political show here in the uk on the BBC. Members of the audience get to ask members of Parliament and on rare occasions the prime minister questions. At the time of the song the prime minister was Theresa May(conservative) replaced by Boris Johnson late last year. The main opposition party is Labour and at the time was lead by Jeremy Corbyn he has now been replaced by Sir Kier starmer. As you said the royals have no dealings in the government or any running of the country they are just the figure head of the UK . They justify their positions by saying they bring in tourists and are great ambassadors around the world. Grenfell Tower wasn’t anything to do with jack Merritts death. Jack died in a “terrorist” attack and the Grenfell tower fire was down to government/council negligence. They authorised cladding on the outside of the buildings that was flammable this was to save money as a result the official death toll was 77 I think however it is believed the number is much higher. It took the government a long time before they even attended the scene to offer condolences. There are still hundreds of tower blocks in the uk that have the flammable cladding people are going to bed wondering if it is there time to die in a fire the government haven’t implemented a coherent plan to deal with it. The NHS is our national health service it runs our hospitals and doctor surgeries all funded through our taxation. To get us to vote to leave the EU elements of the government promised that by leaving that the 350 million sent to the Eu each week for membership would be spent on the NHS. Since we have left the EU the NHS hasn’t seen the money.

Just to clarify on the NHS part, as a fellow American it may be difficult to comprehend this but the NHS is the UK's National Health Service. Although the UK has been slowly privatizing portions of it over the years the vast majority of their healthcare system is not just a single-payer [i.e. like Canada or Bernie's proposed Medicare-for-All plan,] but it is actually the government that owns/runs it [i.e. our VA system for vets.] So, they own most of the hospitals, the doctors, nurses, etc... are government employees. This also explains an earlier line you talked about where he says "I just find it f-cked that the government is struggling to care for a person that cares for a person." Since the NHS nurses are government employees the government sets the salaries & what not. Also, to people from the UK who see this I understand that the above picture leaves out various caveats & nuance.

I watch a lot of reaction videos with Americans watching UK rapper’s, interesting to see their point of view on the UK rap, your one of only a few Americans I’ve seen with a good understanding of what’s going on outside of America, articulate, thoughtful, intelligent, it’s refreshing to see. Keep up the good work

Grenfell; partially correct. The government permitted the use of cheaper cladding on the building but corners were cut and it didn't fit fire safety standards (all to save a fractional amount). When the blaze started the tower was entirely engulfed because of the cladding. To top it off, fire service radios didn't work and so people were told to stay put and wait for rescue rather than evacuate. They died. Within weeks hundreds of buildings around London alone were bare after the cladding had to be removed from every other building in the country which they had been installed on.

Love your reactions, so genuine and you have learned so much about British life and politics. Also so nice that you work at a nursing home, I bet you're a delight to the clients and thank you for taking care of others. Much love from the UK x

This is Britain - We have a long history. One of invasion, feudalism, oppression, revolt, civil war, regicide, war, slavery, industrialisation, Empire-building, more war and more war. The last war, almost destroyed us. The Empire dissolved. BUT, from all of those ashes a phoenix rose - The people of Britain: Universal suffrage, education, housing, The NHS, better working conditions, sick pay, week-ends, holidays with pay, social security - because people were entitled to work and if they couldn't find it, that was their government's fault! Instead of an Empire, we had a Commonwealth of Nations ready to back us, and their people came here to work with us. From a bankrupt nation we became, once again, one of the richest countries on earth. As far as the European Union is concerned - they're following practices from the book that WE wrote and any extra chapters were edited by us! BUT, the rich and powerful are back in business, no longer fearful of revolution - Boris Johnson, with his lineage of aristocracy, royalty and privilege, wants to go back to 'The Good Old Days'. Well, Boris, we might have had an Empire on which the sun never set, but my Scottish ancestors were being thrown off their land, during the Highland Clearances to make way for sheep; my Irish ancestors were starving (half of them ended up in America) and my English ancestors were in the army, fighting for The Empire, but actually only joining up because they knew they would get to eat! Judge a country by how it treats its poor. When it came to that, we used to be the greatest country on earth. It didn't last long.

I’ve never heard anyone call Lady Leshur , Jane Leshur😂 I didn’t even know that was her name lol

He did this in 2017 when he was 19, this just shows you the talent this guy has, destined to be the best in the world

I absolutely love your videos I found them today and can’t stop watching, I love how you educate yourself from each videos and other research to add context! Your amazing!

In the UK Question Time is a television show where the audience ask politicians a question. Charlie Hebdo was a French magazine company who were attacked by Isis in 2013/4. The picture was of Boris Johnson and his head cut off.

I love every single time you say boris you flip him off.. You have no idea how much us brits feel that 😂🙌

Grenfell was a high rise building that was built with cladding that was flammable and they knew it was flammable but because it was cheaper they still used it, they still have building in the UK with this type of cladding on it

"350m we give to the EU every week that our health service needs" was referencing a lie that Boris told. He said if we voted Leave (Brexit) that all this money could go to the NHS but he made up the figures just to so he could get what he wanted. when he got found out, the matter had to be settled in the highest court in the country, but of course nothing came of it (just like all the MPs who were renting out flats to people in buildings like Grenfell didn't get in any trouble for blocking all the reports the Labour Party, their opposition, tried to put through parliament warning about the dangers of the cladding). Boris didn't care about how close the NHS is to going under until he got corona.

The NHS is the national health service of Britain ❤️

Basically Grenfell towers is what you call the projects and the area was being gentrified. So they decided to buy some new cladding on the building to make it look nicer but it wasn’t fireproof. So it caught fire and 72 people died and allegedly more but we’ll never know. There was a deadline too to sort out other buildings with the same cladding but they missed the deadline a few weeks ago meaning there’s buildings out there with the same cladding as Grenfell. Flats literally catch fire in England and Scotland every few weeks

The double entendre with the hand and arms thing is powerful!

Hangman is defo one to listen to, also Dave on Blackbox is crazy, its old af but so much emotion when he talks about his brothers arrest. Honestly all his songs bang, Psychodrama album is crazy, same with Six Paths EP, JKL + HYD i could go on

Frazer T Smith is the guy who played piano with Dave at the brits and is also mentioned on stormzy blinded by your grace

'lady leshurr & lady lykez sickkkkk freestyle!' - NHS=National Health Service. The leave EU campaign said the 350 million we send to the EU each week (a lie) would be better used funding the NHS, and backed tracked the day after the leave campaign won the referendum

It's not just Americans who have that mentality of judging people who aren't from the same country, it's a British mentality that's been inherited to Americans

You need to catch up with the Wiley and Stormzy beef! One week of shots being fired! Stormzy - Wiley Flow (wasn’t a diss but started a Twitter war from Wiley Wiley send for Stormzy with Eediyat Skengman Stormzy - Disappointed Wiley - Eediyat Skengman 2 Stormzy - Still Disappointed And Back to Dave - you need to hear his full Phsycodrama album (in order) Next is Wretch & Avelino, start with their FIre in the Booth. Superb reactions though girl, you’ve earned this new sub 👌🏾✊🏾

More ddaaaveeee, I would recommend Lesley- a deep sad story Location- a vibey song, potentially his most popular a bit different to the past ones you’ve reacted too Hangman- speaking the truth Panic attack and picture me are good ones

Great reaction and understanding 👍

You should react to Lowkey! He made songs about Grenfell (Ghosts of Grenfell) and the Middle East (Ahmed) also, he is a very good artist

Speaks a lot of facts 🙌🏻

Question Time happens every Wednesday where MPs in the House of Commons get to ask questions of the Prime Minister. The leader of the opposition party gets the most questions and Dave has structured his rap around that. Jeremy Corbyn was the leader of the opposition at the time and so he was questioning whether JC would be any better, even though he really wanted him to be. Great reaction.

Grenfell was a tower block of council flats (subsided housing to support the less advantageous community). In 2017 it caught fire and it took 15 minutes for a 24 flight tower to completely catch fire and turn into a blazing inferno. Upon investigation it was found that the reason was because the building company was given permission to use a cheaper cladding (a type of material used on the outside of the building) which was flammable. And like you said the government/council response was outrageous and basically took no responsibility and also provided very little support to the survivors. It was the community that came together to care for the survivors with volunteers and donations helping the victims. 3 years later grenfell survivors are still living in temporary accommodation/hotel and have not been rehoused. Grenfell is in/near an affluent area (near notting hill, down the road from Hyde park/oxford street etc), so loads of theories came out about the government involvement - intentional, or took advantage of the situation to kick out the ‘ lower class’ of people they don’t want there

Also question time is a reference to a political tv show where people can ask question if politicians, activists, journalists etc

Love your reactions, so glad you reacted to this! I'm a new subscriber, you are adorable. I think Nurse pay in the US can be quite reasonable, the entry salary for a nurse in the UK is equivalent to $30,000 and the average nurse salary is less than $40,000 usd equivalent. Nurses are really badly paid in the UK.

Grenfell was a block of flats wrapped in cladding that was known to be illegal but was signed off anyway. He residents had reported many fire safety hazards and were ignored. The block of flats (appartments) caught fire and the residents were told to stay put so many were burned alive children included. When it came to light that the government had known the cladding was illegal and still signed off on it people wanted justice but noting has been done even now. There are still people missing today. And there are still people who are living in hotels.

You should ghosts of grenfell by lowkey or I should say will u and the video will explain more. Loving the reactions

Another Brit (from up north) loving your outlook and real reactions 😀. I’d like to see your reaction from a band from your side of the pond that is very intelligent in how it creates it’s music. Hopefully you haven’t had the pleasure yet and we get to see your first encounter. I suggest the prog rock band Tool and the song Lateralus. It’s a song based around the mathematics Fibonacci sequence . It’s a great starter to the world of tool. Just make sure you have a quality sound system and be ready for the Tool army to show up on your channel 🤟🏼

The prime minister he’s referring to is Theresa May... the woman with her head cut off in the newspaper... she was in power before resigning and giving over to Boris... hence ‘the woman you left here to handle it’ when talking to Cameron.

'our 9/11 is like yalls winterfell' ahahahaha, as a Londoner, of course these topics are so serious, and when you say something funny like that it honestly cracks me up!!

Also in the last few years we've had 3 Tory(UK Republican) prime ministers. David Cameron lost the brexit vote and retired, Theresa May took over and was the headless cartoon. She was incharge during Grenfell. Now there's Boris

Grenfell was a public housing building in a relatively posh part of London. The lady in the paper was Theresa May, the UK’s new Prime Minister in 2017 (she lost her job over Brexit) and Boris became PM. So the make the Grenfell building less ugly, it was covered up with highly inflammable covering (cladding). A fridge caught fire, and it spread rapidly and burnt the entire building with so many people dead. It’s led to a national scandal we investigated and found thousands of buildings with highly inflammable cladding. So we have thousands of people still living in dangerous buildings.

You should react to panic attacks by Dave

Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical newspaper. The illustration on the cover is of Teresa May who was the “new” prime minister at the time. This was released before Boris became prime minister (somehow!)

The NHS is the 'national health service' so some of our taxes go to funding it so that everyone can have access to free health care. So like 3years ago when I was diagnosed with stag 4 cancer I didn't have to pay for all my treatment which is amazing because I don't think I could've dealt with any more stress at that time!

I really like your drill and grime reactions. If you’re wanting some other music genres from the UK to react to, a good place to start would probably be Britpop/Indie music if you’re a fan of the Beatles and that, particularly Blur, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian. For the record the singer from Blur, Damon Albarn, is the guy who does all the music for the Gorillaz so you’ll be quite surprised at how diverse his music tastes are

If you like the conscious rappers listen to Akala, Lowkey, Mic rightious, Immortal Technique (from new york I think). They are much much more into speaking about the shit going on, especially Akala and Lowkey. There's a few things I'd like to correct you on but nothing that a quick read on the internet won't fix. Thumbs up from the UK.

Yo just found your channel here in the uk gotta say I love it

Girl react to Dave Hangman! It’s less political but he touches cancel culture. Just the whole Game over ep bangs e.g no words. Also Rashan Charles and Edson da Costa were victims of police brutality and were both murdered during police restraint. Police don’t have guns here so lots (mainly white) people don’t think police brutality is a problem here but they still have that implicit bias towards black people making them 28 more likely to be stop and searched. They tend to also be very aggressive as well, in our recent BLM protests they brought horses which they road through the crowd, one even losing control and running rampant. The media then had the audacity to blame it on the protestors 🤦🏾‍♀️

please listen to psycho, or his award winning psychodrama album !! another very deep song bringing light to more tough subjects

Fair play for doing essential work hats off 👍

Question time is a news programme were current political topics are discussed. It's been around for years. This is Dave's version.

Grenfell tower was a government funded building for low income residents. The clad and materials used were bought at a cheap rate to save money, and ended up causing a fire... the council in that area are to blame, but so are the government overall

Just a note about the title of the song. It is referring to a very important BBC news programme shown in the evenings. The show travels around the UK and takes the form of a panel debate in front of a live audience. It used to be just about politics, but the production duties fell into the hands of a private media company who chase ratings by filling the audience with actors playing "far-right" characters.

I feel like a lot of Dave songs need some prior knowledge to truly understand some the bars, if you don’t know UKs politics and issues but you keep up so well and I love that you research the topics realise deeper meanings to the song 🙌🏻 also most reactions just repeat lyrics but you actually analyse them!!! This is brilliant and very relevant rn

Question Time is a popular debate show on the BBC where our politicians show up to take questions the public who are in the audience. It's a essentially a US style town hall, except it's on every week throughout the year and not just during the election cycle. I could be wrong, but as far as I know, actual prime ministers have never appeared on the show while they're the prime minister. We usually get our version of senators and congressmen/women. So Boris Johnson has appeared on it multiple times but never while he's been the prime minister. David Cameron, the old prime minister, called for a referendum on Britain's EU membership. He campaigned for us to remain in the EU, and he obviously lost. The day after the EU vote was revealed, he called for a press conference and resigned. So then, as the country was walking towards truly uncertain times (we've been an EU member since 70's), the conservative party held a quick vote on who should replace him. Theresa May won that vote and was then tasked with the duty of negotiating with the EU on the terms of the divorce. It didn't end well for her either as she struggled and she held her own press conference to announce her resignation in 2019. This is where Boris Johnson comes in and assumes power. Oh yeah, Charlie Hebdo is a satire cartoonist magazine from Paris that made gobal headlines when they were the victims of a terrorist attack because they drew a very unflattering picture of the islamic prophet. This happened in 2014 or 2015 I believe.

Lady leshurrr queens speech ❤️

Loving your reactions!. If you want to k ow more about Grenfell and be introduced to another great UK rapper, check out Ghosts of Grenfell by Low-key. An amazing and haunting track. I would recommend maybe googling Grenfell first to get a fuller perspective, as the background is quite important.

I’ve never done a video on your tube! I’m from the UK I’d love to Bedouins chat and help narrate our English rap and flow! Love what your doing and could help explain our culture and what they are rapping about 🖤🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🖤

the woman on the newspaper in the back was theresa may the prime minister at the time when this song was made

he has some very good conscious songs but his party tracks are dope too. check out the song "Location" if you haven't, its hella smooth. Also Wanna Know (original or Drake remix)

I worked with his father until earlier this year (a brand director). His brother is a successful footballer. This is a family of TALENT.

React to Stormzy - Crown! Context first: he created a scholarship for black kids to go to Oxford/Cambridge (our Ivy League). Boris bikes are rental bicycles in London brought out when Boris was Mayor of London. Now listen!

So yeah, some background contexts on this one (three months late!) The Prime Minister he's mainly addressing in this is Theresa May, who succeeded David Cameron, but came before Boris Johnson. They're all Conservative Party leaders. The Brexit context is quite nuanced and complicated. Basically the UK, as an EU member, used to pay in £350 million to the EU every week. All countries pay into this EU pot, and then the money is redistributed by the EU Parliament (elected by EU citizens through elections). So for example, every country pays in a proportionate sum, the EU then organises how the total gets spent between everyone. The UK was a net benefactor, meaning it technically got more back than it used to pay in. So that money might get spent on healthcare schemes, or environmental schemes, or security policies and so on. The UK received these benefits in return for its £350m weekly investment - along with the perks of frictionless trade between EU countries, equal access to every trade arrangement within Europe, tariff free trade (so goods don't cost money to transport across borders), free movement for all EU citizens (no visas required to visit, work, or live in any EU country). The UK was a net benefactor of the EU, meaning it technically got much more out than it paid in. It also had more 'opt outs' than any other European country - opt outs being rules that the UK alone didn't have to follow, as it had an exemption made. Whether or not people individually agree, the argument made here by Dave is pretty much that as an EU member, the UK was a powerful country that had a very privileged position that helped the poorest and most vulnerable in the country. His anger is with the Conservative Party, who firstly staged the irresponsible referendum in the first place (as you can tell, Brexit is a very complicated issue, and reducing it to a simple binary question is why the UK has basically imploded over it), and since having to commit to leaving the EU after the result, has lied constantly about how the EU works and how UK money is spent within it - mostly so that they can try and sell leaving the EU as a good thing, to save their reputation. Boris Johnson, before becoming Prime Minister, now infamously rode around on a bus that had a big sign on the side that read 'We pay £350m into the EU every week. Let's use it to fund our NHS (National Health Service) instead'. This caused endless controversy, as it firstly ignored that that £350m covered so many perks that were now going to be gone - and that the UK would actually now have to spend much more than that running the substitutes for those perks already. So there is no extra £350m waiting to be spent as it is. It was an empty promise based on yet more lies, and since leaving the EU, the UK unsurprisingly hasn't been spending that extra money on the NHS. In fact before even Covid-19 came along, the NHS was in endless trouble due to lack of funds, and as a result of Brexit creating new hurdles for migrant workers, it was also facing dangerous staff shortages (in 2017, there was an annual decline of 97% in the number of applications to work in the NHS from EU migrant staff). So yeah, Dave's anger is with the government for the lies they've told over Brexit, how it in fact leaves the country in a very risky position, and even poorer than before. He's annoyed that sectors like healthcare will struggle immensely. Healthcare matters massively in the UK, as by the very name 'NHS', it's been nationalised. This means that healthcare in the UK is largely free at the point of use. It's paid for through taxes, and anyone is allowed to make use of it - you don't pay health insurance in the UK. You only pay for prescriptions if you live in England and are employed. You have to pay for dental treatment, but even this is largely subsidised, and much is offered for free to low earners and the unemployed. Dave, like many Brits, values this - and worries Brexit, and the disaster capitalist Conservatives will result in the health system being eroded to something more like the US system - which is perceived largely to be inferior in terms of its accessibility. Hope this was helpful in some small way :)

Been watching your Chanel a while and would love to hear more about what you do in your work days in the nursing home I’m studying nursing in the uk so would be interesting

This song is from 2017, so the current prime minister back then was Theresa May not Boris Johnson

I'm a second year student nurse in the UK! (Good luck with your future, you'll be fantastic!!) When I qualify, my starting salary will be £24k a year. In the US, I understand it to be around $50k a year. I hope that gives a little bit of context, to what he was talking about! Much love! X

When the song came out Theresa May was our priminister and that’s the female on the photo with the head chopped off and he talks about when he said “left the woman to handle it”

You really jumped down a rabbit hole with the uk rap scene... a lot of views but good luck cause you’ve got a loooot of suggestions coming 😂

You learnt and picked things up quickly

NHS is the national health service. Giving all people free health care at the point of receipt. It's paid through taxes so when you need surgery or a hospital visit you don't get a bill and don't have to worry about one arriving on your doorstep.

At this point (when the song was realised) it was Theresa May in 10 Downing Street

Okay so Fraser T smith is the one that produced Dave and Stormzy’s album and also Adele’s. He is also the voice in Dave’s song psycho and plays his therapist. He is incredible. NHS is our national health service. It is what allows us to all have free healthcare. When the EU referendum was happening in the UK. The leave campaign LIED through their teeth and had false adverts everywhere saying we (the UK) we’re giving the EU 350 million pounds a week and as the NHS is underfunded and a national treasure, they manipulated the ignorant voter to making a decisions based off this. Obviously when we did vote leave, this £350million to the NHS never happened and people feel like if this wasn’t made into such a massive thing, we would not have voted leave. The leave campaign lied and the rest of the UK was pretty much anti london at this point as they see us as the snobby elitist people who think we are better than the rest of the country and maybe we are because are are more liberal and open :D
