- The Brexit Scandal - What if Brexit was ultimately not about the “will of the people” at all, but about the interests of a small British elite?
The Brexit Scandal (2021)
Director: Tom Costello
Genre: Documentary
Country: Germany
Language: English
Also Known As: Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle for Hard Brexit
Release Date: 2021 Germany (Raindance Film Festival)
Synopsis:
Brexit was presented as a populist revolution against the elite. But in the years since the referendum, a group of men deep in the heart of the British establishment have been carrying out a coup of a different kind - using Brexit to try and turn Britain into a low-tax, low regulation, high finance utopia.
This revolution is funded by dark money - cash from unknown sources - which has been flooding into the British political system through mysterious front groups, opaque offshore firms, clandestine digital campaigns and corporate lobbyists in disguise.
Today dark money and shadowy influence operations continue to push an agenda that is anything but popular, and is deeply undemocratic. In this film, we follow the dark money trails to find out: who are the men who bought Brexit, and what is their vision for Britain’s future?
Reviews:
"The ripples of Brexit continue to look more like giant waves. And yet for all the chatter that surrounds our separation from the European Union, do we understand how we ended up with this version of divorce? Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle For Hard Brexit is here with answers - they won’t be the ones you expect, nor will they come from the people you’d expect to give them.
Presenting this most unpalatable of topics in a bite-sized, digestible format proves a winner for Tom Costello’s documentary; as does the calm, cool narration from Semira Zadeh. They balance out the rising rage you may feel as a group of avaricious larcenists manipulate poverty, patriotism and peace for their own ends.
Coming from German documentary production firm A&O Buero, the outsider’s perspective is useful here; as are interviews, remarkably, from both sides of a most divided isle. This is a powerful, precise dissection of the methods used post-referendum to secure a particular type of Brexit; it’s also a stark warning against demagoguery and dislike of others who are simply different from us.
Ultimately, this film offers its viewers the strength to continue the battle for fairness, openness and international co-operation."

One thing you can be sure of.
If the very wealthy put their hands in their pockets to finance something, you can be absolutely sure that it is greatly for their own benefit and not for that of the ordinary people.
The only billionaire who really benefited from Brexit was Putin. The idiot who released Brexit was David Cameron,pathetic weak character.
The Remain campaign spent more than double that of the leave campaign .
They received the backing of the most powerful people in the country, all the Banks, the CBI, all the mainstream political parties, all of the multinationals, the vast majority of the press and you try to portyay Brexit as a rich mans whim !!!!
One thing you can be sure of ! Remainiacs lied through the whole referendum and have spent the last 7 years lying about why they lost .
You have learnt absolutely nothing in the past 7 years .
The three largest funders of the Remain campaign were Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley. Olly Robbins, the main civil servant negotiating Brexit for Theresa May, now works at Goldman Sachs, where his boss is the former EU Commission President, Jose Manuel Barroso.
@@georgesdelatour So, what is your message. What do you want to tell us with your post?
@@georgesdelatour Rishi Sunak worked for Goldmann Sachs as a hedge manager and made millions, his wife was a Non Dom to avoid paying taxes which came to light through investigative

Brexit: where the ultra wealthy convinced the poor and middle class to make them wealthier .
Excactly my thoughts.
they are funding both sides, like always.
that doesn't make sense. Most of the wealthiest individuals support EU membership and mass migration.
@@Akoalawithshades Most Educated People* that by percentage are the richest ( since you need money to study for a PhD), but the people who financed the leave campaign are from the richest part of the United Kingdom. Besides that, it is the concept of Global Britain that requires "Open Borders" with the World. The EU required the free movement of European citizens only.
that happens when people's gulliblety is the norm, I mean, listening to and sallowing demagogy.
It's enraging to watch this. To hear all their outrageous lies again and knowing what happened a couple years later when everything's worse, much worse.
@@thetruth9210 FFS open your eyes and ears to the country. Just look around and listen to your countrymen.
Everything's worse because we closed the world economy down for 18 months. Ah yes, remember that??? Did you think that wouldn't have any consequences???
Politicians need to be held legally accountable for spreading lies to achieve their own agenda
To pass laws like that the politicians would have to vote on it ;)
@@alexscott1257 citizens should vote on big things like that, not politicians.
More like we should pay more attention to politics. Rather than say BS like take politics out of sports.
Remainer MPs promised to respect the leave vote
Sadly that is now how democracy works.
The beauty of democracy is you have essentially a 2 party state, both are owned by various groups of oligarchs. Each elected govt will blame the other and any campaign promises may be reversed, any treaties with foreign govts may be renegaded and politicians / govt simply blame each other.
The important bit is that voters "feel good" that they have a choice which didn't really matter the slightest. LOL
Billionaires calling other people elitist. And few seemed to notice. Kinda like America.
Eggs zactly
From a moral standpoint, they were right. They are the bottom feeders of ethics, so basically everyone else is 'the elite'.
Uncanny how public relation companies have managed to successfully portray: trade unions, journalists and social workers as the elite.
Its because we in britain arent told the truth, its not a real democracy 😢
No, we noticed. We also noticed how badly the UK didn't notice.
The problem is calling them donors instead of customers. They don’t “donate” all of that money for nothing. Political “donations” are always transactional & politics is nothing more than a business.
Maybe a better term: *employer*
Sponsors or my preference, bribery.
If it's done this way then yes; but it's very dangerous to generalise like that. That only leads to distrust in engagement in public matters and in democracy. Another step towards even greater degradation of the (or any) country. Just because one (or two, three) political party is corrupt doesn't mean _all_ politics is. That's just like saying "I've heard of a physicist who faked their research, ergo all science is fake." Obviously not true and highly damaging notion to spread around.
Yep, like the unions donating millions to the labour part.
All corrupt.
Yes, that's the way things were in the 18th Century, and we apparently moved away from that. Until Thatcher. You must be too young to remember how politics was before then.
Before Brexit, I was naive in thinking British politics wasn’t as corrupt as American politics but that naïveté has been blasted apart. The inner party politics, backstabbings and lies have really cast a shadow for me over British politics. I don’t trust the established political parties at all. They are filled with careerists who only care about which lobbyist group pays the best or which backer can provide the best bribe. The uneducated working class fall for the lies time and time again. That is why I believe being aware of issues is so important but unfortunately, most people just get their information from bbc and other news outlets who are likely just paid out by the same groups. This country is a far cry from democracy.
Britain invented the modern democratic world. It was Europe who traditionally run by dictatorships. The Eu was just the latest modern version of dictatorship
As a American you just described our political system with very slight differences.. We have a lot in common and you're right we are equally corrupt." We live in a sham of a democracy and a two-party dictatorship" Pat Buchanan.
The word your looking for is called Neoliberalism... unfortunately it's not corruption it's normal what is happening, that is... It is normal if you understand what Neoliberalism is 👍 and what we have failed to vote against for along time.
Please, what news items is the BBC unreliable on? I seem to remember the BBC dloing a big expose of offshore banking (Paradise papers) the London Laundromat. the LSBR scandal; Lehmans, the Litvenienko affair
Or do you mean the BBC were Remain biased
Who do you believe (not the Mail, surely not)
Thanks
if you want democracy, first you have to let go the kingdom and become a republic
This is like watching a horror film in how a group of rich shysters can go about wrecking a country and its prospects for their own personal gain while tricking a population into thinking it's to their benefit. I hope this serves as a lesson to other European countries not to take their current political systems for granted
Well said. The EU has wrecked countries, particularly Greece and the German economy is a a dumpster fire. EU politicians have enriched themselves (see QATARGATE) and do not have the population's interests at heart. It's a shame so many got tricked into voting remain, and indeed, lets hope that other European countries that have not joined the EU do not take their current political systems for granted.
If you watch Adam Curtis's documentaries you will see that what you have just described has been going on long before Brexit, long before we were even in the EU!

That is the basis of capitalism. Profit over everything

It's always funny when millionaires and billionaires talk about the elites that are in power.
Tbf, even when you reach those heights, you'll find that there are more elites way above them with much more power
@@charlesk22 The people they refer to as the elites are the people that represent us and reign them in a little bit here and there.
They want unfettered capitalism not beholden to the labour class at all on any level.
@@charlesk22
That doesn't matter though as you are still powerful enough to influence those events and thereby still part of the rich and Powerful elite. Especially in Europe and other countries, you'd really need to be in the US or maybe China where the scale of wealth is so much higher to maybe not be part of the elite elite anymore. And even then as a multimillionare you could still influence many people just on a smaller scale
The present PM. I don't find it funny at all.

"Brexit benefit " - a total OXYMORON .
Real GDP growth since Q4 2019
-- UK 1.8%
-- France 1.7%
-- Germany 0.2%
I wonder if the money can also be traced to Kremlin.
I'd suggest changing the question to how much
*Poor people and not-so-poor people are the largest number among those who voted in favour of leaving the EU (Leave/Brexit). But guess what! As soon as Brexit has started to bite, they've become the ones who are paying the highest price, as they're the ones who are hardest hit by the impact and consequences of Brexit.*
This is one of the extremely rare times when you get what you've voted for!
Not all of us who are poor voted that way but all of us are lumbered with the consequences. Shouldnt have been a secret ballot - then we could just put up prices for the people who wanted that!
@@leftgrrl Not only are naïve people taken for a ride on Brexit. They're now made to believe that by making inflation fall down, prices will fall down. When in reality prices will never fall down, and curbing inflation simply means stopping prices from rising further up.
For instance, just before Boris was shown the door, he was saying to people, quote, "inflation will fall down soon and prices and everything else will go back to where they were before! Needless to add 30p Lee Anderson, who claims that a nutritious meal could be cooked on 30p, when the electricity or gas alone for cooking anything costs more than 30p and the only thing that one can buy with 30p at a supermarket in the UK is a basic supermarket carrier bag.
I commend that you call yourself, leftgirl, if I'm not mistaken, even though it's hard to distinguish the current Labour under the dictatorship of Keir Starmer from the right-wing, which is quite sad.
@@leftgrrl
You don’t have to defend yourself! It is known that most of people vote for it
Did you not watch the phantom plays being made by all these politicians and special interest groups lines within all levels of the government. So now you are not even able to make informed decisions. The portray themselves with inauthenticity in what they're actually pushing and campaigning for and lies upon lies to the public. Straight to your faces. So who knows if even the voting processes and it's systems are not themselves compromised, at that as well. They're deliberately pushing for the NHS to go to the private healthcare system. Deliberately making things dysfunctional.
They get richer, and the poor gets screwed 😢
How does an economy benefit when a country cuts itself off its closest economic partner and biggest market?
Greed...
Stupidity...
Looks like lots of still have blind eyes and cannot see the benefit of leaving , unfortunately you lost the election and you must obey the citizen will and keep your mouth closed.
Well, the UK has growth whilst Germany, the economic powerhouse of the EU, is in recession. You're welcome.
@@jrobs1133the EU keeps growing along side the rest of the major economic powers of the world, the UK is slowing down to a halt, even admitted to by the Bank of England
@@LudwigVaanArthans I guess that's why the UK economy grew again whilst Germany's did not. Are you aware of anything that is happening or do you just talk nonsense?
The UK will, as a result of the actions of these selfish lunatics, be permanently poorer. Of course, the very rich won’t be affected, just the rest of the population.
Good.
Loony
Yes, but they will be richer... that's the only thing that matters.
Majority of the population voted for it, they did it to themselves.
Besides that they were the most whiny and problematic people in the European Union, not this, not that. It is the best thing that has happened in several years in the EU without having the crybabies
I'm absolutely appalled of what the full of bots internet & corrupt media can do. People can be made to chant with the utmost conviction for corporate interests and against their own.
So basically Brexit was a way for the rich in England keeping and maintaining *their* money and power and once they got the masses to vote their way they abandoned them and the country to retreat to their estates.
Yeah and if their sharp they'll will help those who can help them best, and get things on a even keel... That might become a civil issue, so best to stop the certain numbers gaining advantage HENCE brexit with immigration policy, you might have to pay to stop the so called entitled thinkers from eating them..
The irony of British people complaining about migrants when they were the worlds greatest colonisers is sweet.
Indeed... Or the irony of citizens of one of the worlds largest arms exporting nations complaining about refugees.
We'd apologise but... no.
And a lot of the politicians who complain about migrants are themselves the children or grandchildren of migrants.
Greetings from the colony of Scotland 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
There is a big difference between a poor economic migrant now and colonisation which happened 300 years ago
The MPs who misrepresented and lied about BREXIT should be put on trail and punished accordingly. It's the common working class person who's suffering, not these millionaires/billionaires
The politician who came up with the infamous £350 million a week slogan and put it on that bus was a Labour MP in the leave campaign....
Glad both of you are in loud agreement.
In that case we should also put on trial the MPs who lied on the remain side. There were far more remainer lies. For example the supposed need for an emergency budget, the inevitability of Scotland independence, the huge loss of jobs in the City (hint, there are MORE people working in the City now, the years it would take to replicate the trade deals we had via the EU (most were replicated in months, and now we have new deals with major blocks), etc etc etc!
@@neilbradley100 To be fair, to both sides, those claims were impossible to predict with total accuracy. On the Remainer side many economists DID forecast that Brexit would be damaging, and on the Leave side others predicted the UK would be fine. As a leave voter I believe that the leave campaign were far more honest but even then there were claims made that were inaccurate, the infamous £350 million figure on the bus for example, where that was the gross contribution figure rather then the more relevant net figure. As Nigel Farage said the day after the referendum that wasn't a claim he would have made.
@@karlbassett8485 As I remember it (and I may be wrong), even the bus claim was not really a clear-cut lie. The claim was that we would be able to "take control" of the gross figure and spend it however WE decide to spend it. And that we MIGHT want to spend it all on the NHS. But of course the Brexit Campaign were not a government that would be able to make that decision. So perhaps I could agree it was a simplistic claim, and even underhand in that it could be taken as a promise from people who were unable to make such a promise. But not in mhy opinion an actual lie. UNLIKE the lies on the Remain side, such as the precise figure that was announced that Brexit would cost each person in the UK. Or what about the one where they said Brexit would increase the chances of World War III? I actually don't want to make too much of all these examples, just to say that it is unfair of Remainers to say that the Brexit side lied, with the assumption that Remain were whiter-than-white.
Nigel Farage ....why is he still around. why has Boris not been called to take responsibility for his lies
That bus with 350m saved for nhs is hilarious since the nhs has become greatly worse since then 😂🤦
The NHS has a 6m waiting list, something which was increased dramatically due to lockdowns in 2020 & 2021.
Not one single benefit has been named
That tells you all you need to know, it was a flag waving exercise based on absolutely nothing
It was a national embarassement, we have been absolutely humiliated on the biggest stage
£500 million a week spent on our schools, NHS and pensioners instead of funding greedy parasites in Brussels.
SOVEREIGNTY.....NOT subservience.
UK not in recession. Germany in Recession. You're welcome.

And Farage is making national scandal that his bank account was closed.
I would like a comment from Farage, in his daily podcast...
Lol...
Ridiculous hyperbole, you lost, get over it.
Please all this donors and the currupt think tanks should be exposed as well and be sent to jail as well. For that guy who hired Farage it was like a game... Why don't we get this people rounded up and exposed. Johnson is still a politician, how pathetic...
What about yourself then ! Join the trio in the cell!
This was a gift to Northern Ireland, United Ireland here we come, love it!

And at least has bananas to sell.

The only positive outcome of the Brexit scandal has been to strengthen Europe and show what happens if you leave.
Early this year the Eurozone was in recession. The UK wasn't. Germany is still in recession. The UK isn't. The EU itself has just downgraded their growth forecast for the rest of the year. Meanwhile the UK led the way supporting Ukraine while other European leaders dragged their feet. The UK has troops in Estonia right now as part of a huge NATO mission. The UK signed a defence pack with Sweden and Finland to protect them while they waited for NATO membership. And last winter France was buying electricity from the UK because over half their nuclear reactors were offline and Germany was importing natural gas from the UK, with the undersea UK-EU gas pipelines running at full capacity to help keep Europeans from freezing.
Yeah now the EU will become a federal dictatorial superstate where national states will have little to no powers at all. Sounds wonderful
Unfortunately it only shows how naive ordinary people were who voted for brexit
Really how is the EU now... Germany is tanking and that is the 'powerhouse' ...are you not following?
@@gnrseanra9070 So Germany is tanking, how is that making Brexit OK for us? Because I'm paying more mortgage, gas-electric, fuel and cost of living than ever before. Where is the cheap food, clothing and food that Farage and Rees-Mogg promised during the Brexit campaign?
@@1983pety Yeah, we had the world shut down for a year and a half, supply chain something called COVID 19 and a War in Ukraine did you miss? Germany has closed last 3 nuclear power stations and Nordstream gas lines blown up and losing businesses to America and Asia, food banks TAFEL struggling.
So you claim that EU is unaffected with inflation, shortages and budget shortfall of €66 Billion?
America also affected badly with cost of living in some places gas prices, average house prices in California $800000, $18 for Big Mac combo in some places and yes wages are higher but not keeping up with inflation.
It's affected the whole world why don't you watch the news instead of whining a lot of countries have got it a lot worse than us.
@@1983pety I took a screenshot shot of my reply before you deleted! 🤡
No I just replied to 🤡 1983pety he deleted my answer inflation all over the world including US, priceless fortunately I learned to screenshot when I discuss with Remoaners who have selective memories......
Unfortunately the only people who'll watch this are those of us who hated brexit from the start. Leave voters don't want to hear or admit how wrong they were.
Spot on
Too right
what's wrong with with running your own country , I just don't get why all the remainers suck up to the EU that is run by the corporations & is so corrupt its unreal..
I wanted Brexit because the EU is corrupt - but I didn’t want it under the Tories as I knew it was only ever about it benefiting the rich.
The western world has gone insane and feel heartbroken for our children and grandchildren 😢.
Did "you" watch this??
I said this from the start: the only people who will "take back control" are the rich, and they'll do it precisely by leaving even less control in the hands of everyone else in Britain. The thing is, regulations and rules of the EU protect the average person, as well as the balance within the whole Union, that's what is so powerful about the structure. And that's what is so annoying to those who have the means to dominate over others but can't because of the regulations. Those very regulations that protect you and me - from them.
Try explaining that to the thick racists.....
@@oldishandwoke-ish1181 That's how they sold Brexit to the public - by appealing to shallow nationalism. Before Brexit I read comments on RUclips about "feeling the English blood running in the veins" as if it was some kind of mystical experience. It's not mystical, it's just nationalism, it feels the same regardless of your nationality. And it usually means that you've become a tool for someone with very un-mystical, down to earth motives.

@@frusia123So how does flooding the country with lots of migrants help the public? That elite love mass migration to lower your wages, pay higher house prices and live in tiny homes.
was it perhaps worth mentioning that May's chances of getting her own kind of deal through were fatally undermined by her decision to hold an unnecessary election which she then performed extremely badly in and lost her majority?
Surely an election she called with the intention of losing it?
Trump warned us there would be no UK/US deal if there was any compromise and the ERG stabbed her also.
It's a tragedy that won't be fixed for at least 10 years (because it's completely toxic here). As someone said 'an exercise in self harm.'
Bit like lockdowns then? But don't see any of you moaning about that 😂
Anyone that voted Leave in 2016 was naive, gullible and easily fooled. Anybody that still supports it today is just plain thick. 😂
How's Germany economy going
@@redbeard3923 A lot better than the UK's is that's for sure, then you have the fact that Germany has excellent infrastructure and a strong manufacturing sector and the comparison becomes a bit silly. Comparing Germany to the UK is like comparing NASA to Star Trek. 😂The EU's economy has grown 3 times faster than the UK's since 2016 and the largest stock exchange in Europe is now based in Paris not London. Every single prediction the remain side made prior to the referendum has come true. Once again the UK is the sick man of Europe, it's just a matter of time before we go cap in hand to the IMF for a bailout.
@dub604 you liar. Germany is in recession. The UK isn't. I'm glad we outvoted you lying remainers.
May I suggest you type in Barbara Castle Oxford Union. Do you know the history of the EEC/EU. Do you know the key people in it right up into the 90s and whom wrote the majority of it's policies that still remain. Did you know that Britain had to turn it's back on the common wealth after 400 years of protection from European threat first through the empire. Did you know that Britain had to back stab the common wealth countries by reneged on the promise of free trade in return for having suffered slavery, colonialism and still having defended the UK. Pretty sure you will find most ppl know more than yourself about Global politics throughout time. By the way NATO was formed to keep peace, The EEC was to formed to encourage co-operation between corporations in different European countries, it was never meant to be a political union due to the fact most of its members were former high ranking Nazi's. Britain never wanted to join the EU even in the 90s as most of us already knew it's history and knew it should never have been a political union based on its members. Another thing most of the EU members in Brussels are now right wing, the irony of the so called liberals in Western Europe singing it's praises whilst all along it as supported right wing ideology in Eastern Europe to a point of dividing land into former states that supplied SS divisions and whom still promote Nazi ideology today even through their armed forces.
@@redbeard3923 Germany has a massive Trade Surplus the difference now between the German Monthly Trade surplus €18B and the UK's deficit €(22)B is circa €40B or €0.5T P.A They are also reporting realistic stats on their GDP and growth. The English Economy is dying, the UK's non EU Economic activity has also been infected by the decline of overall Economic activity, Brexit is not simply focused on EU Trade. This detail of trade reduction and demise of Economic activity is already deeply established in the UK's Trade & Economic figures. BOJO the oligarch's EU 'Brexit agreement' is so bad it simply deters investment, inhibits growth and provides an additional wall higher than any tariff walls to exporters wishing to engage in business within the EU. It is unattractive for EU members to export to the UK and the WTO trade rules that are now being introduced include tariffs and as a result higher prices, the UK can no longer defer taxation on imports. UK Farming is in big trouble facing the largest structural change since the invention of the plough, all the Tory trade deals are with Agriculturally rich nations so remote most UK exports are prohibited by costs. UK tax and Tariffs ensures low cost EU producers can still make a healthy profit with additional costs and higher pricing , all UK farms now must question their profit margins in a highly restricted market with a reduced workforce. The UK now pays higher costs for goods, Transportation, Tariffs & Taxes, inflation is being imported; this ongoing reduction in exports and overall Trade is only the start the effects of the Hard Brexit have years to run.

Damn Right!!
Brexit being delivered much harder than was promised fully depends on what you expected to happen. To anyone capable of objectively informing themselves, for example by listening to experts instead of notorious liars, it was crystal clear what the results were going to be.
Well, May did seem to have a reasonable deal, at least to me, but she was blindsided by a swipe from the Right.
What do I know , except I’m poorer, I’m losing my rights , and I’ve lost my freedom of movement.
@@californiadreamin8423 And we will lose a lot more. Give them time. They are working on it. Threatening everyone will be the new norm.
@californiadreamin8423 that is unquestionable. I'm sure that if we could go back in time the result would have been Remain.
The people who ultimately decided on the hardness of Brexit were UK MPs, specifically the ones who voted against 'softer' options. I presume those are the notorious liars you must be referring to, the types who claimed there would be bloodshed in Ireland if we had some customs borders etc etc
Visited England along w 4 other European countries last fall and the only place where I didn't feel welcomed was England. I found many of the people were super crabby and rude. Whereas I found everyone in France, Italy, Spain and even stoic Switzerland to be super friendly, helpful and welcoming. I wonder why?
Maybe because they were not impressed with your"super" expectations?!

Ask most people on the street if they thought the Brexit Party was a political party and most would say yes ! It was a private company . . . That speaks volumes !
By that argument so was the Remain campaign......
@@karlbassett8485 Yes, they had their agenda too . . . We have never had a referendum about taxation, housing, health, education or immigration, why not ?
The millionaire/billionaire backers of the leave campaign just wanted to get away from the EU anti tax avoidance directive that was to be implemented for all EU member states
Bingo
That was the main motivation and powerful force behind Brexit. But did they really believe that it would get over the line? Champagne for Brexit breakfast, as hedge fund monster Crispen Odie said while his investment company made a whopping £350, 000,000 on that referendum result, while his old friend Jacob Rees Mogg made £7,000,000 commission from his old buddy Crispen Odie, indeed a splendid breakfast was had by all !

UK products are not competitive in the EU with the current customs, so their exports are all time low. Look at how many car manufacturing companies closed, how many small businesses closed because they can't export their products to EU because noonoe wants to buy them for that much. Many companies made products for export, now these are closed and replaced in other countries.
What car manufacturing closed? Nissan did close a factory. In Spain. And moved production TO the UK. VW have just spent billions upgrading the Bentley factory, BMW have upgraded the Mini factory and have just announced the new Mini EV will be built here, Stelantis have upgraded the Luton factory and are making Peugeot and Citroen EV vans here, Tata are building a gigafactory here and Toyota have upgraded their Sunderland factory.

Very well done love it it just shows how a democracy can become a dictatorship under the rule of money 🥶
Tbh the political class don't truly want democracy. They want the illusion of one
If we truly had democracy, we'd have PR for starters. Equally the ONLY times that my parent's country (Pakistan) turned into a dictatorship was only when the US meddled to help prop up said dictators, with the help of our UK politicians
If our politicians truly like democracy, they wouldn't be helping Americans prop up dictatorships overseas. We wouldn't be overthrowing democracies in favour of more imperialist friendly dictatorships too.
The empire died mostly in name only. We still have a fairly imperialist role, helping prop up dictatorships that are beneficial for "our" imperialist interests. Democracy gets in the way of that because a democracy works in the favour of people in that country.
I put "our" in quotation marks because those interests line up with the interests of the super rich (corrupt) politicians here, as opposed to the people who live in the imperial core
Like America for instance.
Or perhaps like a top down political structure where laws are created by an unelected Commission instead of by the people that the population voted for.

Before the plebiscite I remember there were lots of voices against the Brexit explained detailly the most obvious consequences. There were voices also presenting Brexit as the best thing in the world.
People were free to choose, and they chose based into their own understandings and prejudices… but they were not fooled: they had full access for both side apologetics and took a decision. Actually, there was a significant number of citizens that preferred just not to vote for several personal reasons.
Personally, since day one it was obvious for me Brexit would be a bad move for most Britons, but I really think it was a fully democratic decision from UK people.
We are free to decide our actions but not free to choose the consequences of our actions.

British democracy has insufficient 'safeguards' and this documentary proves that once again
@tintin4914 This is one aspect of British political culture that I always found most baffling.
The idea of inalienable civil rights that cannot be overridden by a simple majority of a first-past-the-post Parliament (which often means representatives of a minority of voters even nvm adult citizens or even all people in the UK) doesn't really appear to be a concept with majority support in the UK.
American style checks and balances are nowhere to be seen within the British constitutional setup.
One of the reason so many prominent UK cases ended up at the ECHR is that there really isn't an institution of similar standing inside the UK that can effectively reign in the executive and legislative branches of government.

There were no promises of a hard or soft Brexit in 2016 , both the leave campaign and the “ Remain “ campaigns were clear,, “ a vote to leave would mean leaving the single market and a complete break with the EU, the PM David Cameron told the country in his Chatham house speach that if the country voted to leave , we would be leaving” no ifs, no buts , no single market “ it wasn’t until after the referendum and the following election where all the parties( Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem’s ) promised to honour the vote until elected , then did all they could to stop Brexit. We were lied to by Remainers for 3 years.
The next election was won by a landslide by the only party who promised to deliver Brexit .
You can’t rewrite history with slick videos full of lies , just like remainders couldn’t win the referendum with lies.
How is that EU armed forces the leader of the Remain campaign( Nick Clegg) told the country “ was a Dangerous fantasy dreamt up by Nigel Farage to scare voters into voting leave “ going ?

Like you did in 2020?
I softened slightly to the Tories in my late 20s, viewing economic growth as paramount. Years later, austerity measures and Brexit have crippled the economy - leaving it all the more difficult for whichever party comes in next. If they can't even be trusted with GDP growth what on earth's the point of Conservatives?
To be fair austerity was after Labour had a huge economic crash. A Labour finance minister literally left a note for the incoming Tory that said "Sorry, there's no money left!". Meanwhile it remains a fact that in the last hundred years every Labour government has left office with unemployment higher than when they took office.
@karlbassett8485 The crash was global, not because of one party. Austerity was always a convenient excuse to do what the Conservatives always set out to do, ideologically, which is to take the hinges and door handles off as if it doesn't matter (because they own the house). That unemployment stat is famous but circumstantial. The state of our trains, hospitals, water systems, and so on, means infinitely more and says more about Conservative rule than whether unemployment might be at 4% or 7%.
@@thomHD You know what Labour always do? Every single Labour government has left office with unemployment higher than when they took office. And yes the 2007 crash was global, but made worse here by lax banking regulation that allowed UK banks to crash spectacularly and require billions to bail out. Canada, with strong banking regulation, didn't have any bank failures. Here LloydsTSB was the one bank that had avoided the sub prime market and was still financially sound, until Gordon Brown persuaded them to rescue Bank Of Scotland, whose debts were vastly worse than Brown had told them and which then dragged LTSB down and they then required rescuing. And your comments about the economy today? Why don't you recognise that they are because of the global crisis, the pandemic and Ukraine? The issues we're facing, soaring energy bills, high inflation, rising food prices, shrinkflation etc are happening across Europe and the US. The Eurozone was in recession at the start of this year. The UK wasn't. Germany is in recession now. The UK isn't. If you can excuse what happened under Labour and put it down to global issues then don't the Conservatives deserve the same allowance for the global issues that are affecting the UK today?
@karlbassett8485 RBS wasn't some provincial little Scottish bank in 2008; it was one of the largest banks in the world, with the largest assets. The government had to step in and do something. If not, it could have crashed the entire UK economy. It may be the case that global crises are at play today, and I might be willing to concede that, except that the Conservatives also brought us Brexit. It may be the case that austerity has actually done more damage to the UK economy, but either way, these twin pillars of shite would seem to represent the main contributions of this government. All the while, infrastructure crumbles. To reiterate: yes, I'd take higher debt and higher unemployment over crumbling Victorian infrastructure. We may soon see that the Bham to Manchester section of HS2 is cancelled while inheritance tax is slashed - a state of affairs which perfectly crystallises what you get with the Tories: Middle Englanders drive around the country and suburbia oblivious, but it's the disdainful neglect shown to metropolitan areas that makes Britain a worse place (and it all goes back centuries, of course).
Time for Public Enquiry NOW.
Scary to hear that ” less rules, lower taxes ” is again the main drive, without saying the affect on that. Rules and regulation is for the people and it protect employment, social care and environment. That rich people dont want to pay taxes is no secret 😅
The effect of fewer rules and lower taxes is that you're further away from being a slave. Hope that helps.
@jrobs1133 that's just an empty slogan! Currently 25% of GB lives in poverty. I'd say they're closer to being slaves, not further away.😂😂
@@jrobs1133your a liar or a fool. The rules of health and safety cost money/profit of the rich are you rich or a fool. ?
jrobs1133 You got it backwards, if you get rid of rules and regulations you end up in a dystopian corporate society where billionaires and big corporations control everything, kind of like in the US.

There are many many perplexing issues, events and developments around brexit. The lies. The lack of follow through. The lack of consequences. But I am always amazed how the middle class was so easily hoodwinked by the aristo toffs. All the experts said it would be a disaster. Banking experts, fishing experts, trade experts, auto industry experts, agriculture experts. And these experts were middle class kids who did well through hard work and rose to positions of influence. But JRM and BoJo said the experts were always wrong (untrue) and that they were “project fear”. The middle class abandoned their own best minds to follow JRM and BoJo. Classism can’t die when the middle class hates themselves that much.
But you’re assuming there needed to be hoodwinked. There was a sizeable proportion of middle England who don’t like other Europeans and resent cooperation with them. They didn’t need to be misled to vote leave. As the aftermath of the vote showed us, there was anti-French, anti-German, anti-Irish etc. sentiment just under the surface. They voted to leave and then issued forth a torrent of xenophobia and bile towards all and sundry. As clever as Cummings, Johnson, Hannah, Gove etc. like to think they are, all they did is release a gammon tinted kracken which was always there, partially hidden by political correctness for a few decades.
The EU decimated the UK fishing industry in the 1970s what so called "experts" are these exactly????
