- In this edition of Entre Nous, we take a look at how British people feel about Brexit, five years after the UK officially left the EU. We also discuss the challenges many Brits abroad now face, particularly those with second homes. Finally, we get to the bottom of the many reasons why Europeans are choosing not to make trips to the UK, but the Brits are still coming to Europe.

As an EU citizen I believe UK should stay out of EU because "great times" to be out of EU are coming - tariffs from US, economic wars, wars etc (I am being sarcastic, in case it is not obvious). Having a zero GDP growth more or less, and increasing debt-to-GDP in the last 5 years, in given condition is great especially when you trying to deal with US (27T GDP), China and EU 17T. UK at 3T GDP alone, is in the 2nd economic league and it should manage its expectation based on it. The only country I believe should ask for independence and ask to join EU asap is Scotland. It would be great to have Scotland in EU once again.
because Europe's economy is roaring right? lol. I'm an EU citizen, but fanatics on both sides are hilarious
Oh, so you don't think the EU is floundering?...Jam tomorrow promises?
Please remember...the vote was very close. And many of those that voted were lied to.
Those of us that see ourselves as Europeans are still upset at the result.
I would happily vote for a return to the EU, with full membership including the Euro..
AH yes the old leavers where to stupid and believed the lies and shocker those that voted to leave know they are European they just did not want to be part of what the EU is and not a single person I have spoken to has changed their minds on either side of the fence
@@TheDeadgedd - As the poll indicated many leave voters regret their decision and to be honest it was a stupid mistake leaving the biggest trading block.
I feel empathy for Scotland, I hope they can find a way back. Englands love of right wing grifters increases by the day and shows little sign of stopping.
"Englands love of right wing grifters" - as an EU citizen, this is in no way confined to England. The far right is gaining popular support across all major nations in the EU, where they are, in cases, even poised take power in coalitions. Fanatics on both sides need to touch grass
And half of Scotland 🏴 would still vote against independence so your empathy is with less than 50% of the country. Even if they leave the UK 🇬🇧 and join the EU 🇪🇺 they would have half a nation arguing it's not what they want, a lot of Scots 🏴 also favour independence but that's it no joining anything. England 🏴 is the same so your comments rediculous and just more anti English 🏴 propaganda.
I also miss Britain in the EU and sad that they left! 🇩🇰
Thank you.
UK is saving £350M a week how much do you pay a week
@@GlynBoughton Do you actually believe that drivel? Honestly? I didn't know anyone still did. Surely not.
Rejecting European ID cards is as dumb as it could possibly get! It was a unilateral decision that does nothing but impact the UK tourist industry and the fact that the Labour government has not reversed it speaks volumes for their supposed attempt at resetting their relationship with the EU. Actions speak louder than words.
Uk is not united anymore
Have you seen France?
@@Buckets1000 yep, we don't want UK in EU. We have kosovo joining soon
@@Buckets1000 kosovo 🤣🤣🤣
@@chrimbus71 with serbia in 2028? I don't know if they need to solve this, but first comes Montenegro in 2027 or maybe 28, and after who knows, Albania and NMacedonia are doing great efforts, maybe sooner than Kosovo and Serbia. My opinion is: Serbia MUST be in EU as soon as possible, too important in the region I guess.
And so what? Whose fault is that? Not the EU's! Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.
Friends of mine abroad in the EU in Ireland and Lithuania have told me the UK made the right decision and their countries have gone downhill under EU membership. They don't like red tape, the political union and the fact their countries don't have control over how their country's future is shaped. I don't believe UK could ever have improved its situation straight away, when the pandemic, energy crisis, and Ukraine war all occurred in very close proximity and similtaneously for most of that period.
You have friends who think the same way you do - ie. incoherently.
@@tommymorrison6478 family and friends, people who live in the EU and are negatively affected personally by EU membership. For example losing their entire life savings during the credit crunch.
A new runway at Heathrow is not expected for at least 10 years, and as with everything in Britain, you can easily add another five years and a doubling of the construction costs.
You are German? Remind us of Berlin airport.
@@tommymorrison6478 Heathrow Airport is 100% owned by non-British companies who also take profits out of the UK.
Berlin Airport is 100% owned by Germany and has been in operation for 3 years now.
@@nettcologne9186 So? Do you have any integrity? If so, show some and explain what happened. If not - and let's face it you don't - then go away and stop troubling decent people.
Great analysis, thank you.
As someone who voted Remain, I despair how our Labour Givenment talks about growth but remains silent about how much poorer Brexit costs us🙁🙁
Well, it made the EU stronger. The Brits were a pest. Only Orbán is worse than them. The EU is more united without the British contrarians. And the best part, you got to keep Farage.
The UK is has outperformed both France and Germany by a wide margin since Brexit.

They, [labor&conservative] embraced this new tabu thema namely "rejoin EU", so the future is even darker than early brexit apologists
It hasn't changed a damn thing, the economy was bad before and is still after, immigration was bad before and is still after. You could write there was no corona before brexit, maybe it caused that.
Thank you, but where can I find these polls please?? I checked on the website and the article of this video but I can't find any source. Please link the sources!! Thanks in advance.
Cause its nonsense.
YOU GOV WEBSITE
Are you blind and deaf? Source: YouGov. It is on the screen and mentioned in the video.
UK betrayed us Europeans by leaving the Union that even THEY contributed to create.
While it is a thing we can easily forgive, I think it would be opportune first if they show a bit of regret for such decision and a bit of consideration for us Europeans.
If you have a bunch of allies you don't backstab them when it's more convenient for you. You stay and play with the team.
Here the problem is not economically or political, it's a matter of values, morals and respect.
If they do that and shows us a bit of respect, then they can join back and receive all the help they need to recover. We would be glad to help them in any way possible.
But first they must show they have matured.
The population in the UK fell for a trap regarding the E.U.Scotland is part of the UK so forget about that dream it won't happen.
😅😅😅😅We are sooo sorry for them. Enjoy brexit.
Why, not have agreement with Ireland so us Scots could apply for a Irish passport and it could end Brexit in some way.
Who would make that agreement?
Scotland would have to do a lot of appologising first! 😂
Why do expect Ireland to make massive changes in its citizenship laws, and hold a referendum to ratify any such changes, to benefit people in a country that VOTED to leave the EU and thereby force Ireland to spend large amounts of money Customs facilities and bio-safety checks?
Neck like a jockeys bollocks, you have!
And we'd love an escape route too ...
Why do Scots always pretend that you weren't heavily involved in imperialism and oppression? You're hands are as blood stained as anyone. there is no cultural connection that would warrant that
US will feel the same pain after 4 years
@@Bash_coope watch and learn, kiddo
@ that’s what I wanna say bro
Doubtful. The E.U. can’t even defend itself without Uncle Sam. Pathetic.
You're kidding right?

I wish British finally wake up and return to EU
@@dirtyharry6297 Why? They at least have sovereignty and some version of democracy now
@@jerrymiller9039 And saving £350M a week
@@jerrymiller9039no really. The uk basically follows all the EU rules but without a say. It is was a rule maker before brexit. It is a mere rule taker now
Surprisingly they are outperforming our France and Germany though still!!
This week's gdp figs in Europe were woeful again. Germany is 3 years into a recession
@@jerrymiller9039What can the UK do now they could not do before?
Apart from unchecked corruption, I am struggling to find…
Brits aren't moving to Spain and France for economic reasons 🤣
True. Most of the Brits in Spain are primarily 60+ retirees, drawn to the country for sunnier skies and warm weather. There are more Spanish economic migrants in the U.K. than the reverse.
Bull*** brits registered in Spain are 350,000 but nearly one million unregistered so number ONE of expat (sun-migrants) countries, dont care of their business
They did it to themselves. Respect their choice.
We need to make Britain Great again by joining the EU 😆
@Buckets1000 Yes, I know, the damage caused by brexit is huge. Will take decades to sort out.
I would be a great start for any party in charge of conducting proper impact assessment.
I think Theresa May did some but held back the findings. I wonder why?
The E.U. is just like the U.S. now with passports. Only 40% of Americans have passports. There is a simple reason. Why leave an area/continent where there is free travel all over? Getting passports are for those ‘special’ trips. Yes, Europe is different, but that seems to be the general mindset.
Britain should rejoin EU for the Causes It exited EU.
@@krishnendunayek2060 nope, now it has soveteignty and at least partial democracy. It would have neither in the eu
@jerrymiller9039 United we stand
Divided we fall.
@krishnendunayek2060 agreed, we all need to be outside of the eu
@Buckets1000 the eu is anti democracy and anti free speech and you know it
@@Buckets1000 what???
Faith or Superiority Complex??
Isolationism now more than ever isn’t a smart ideia 💡! Being proudly alone in the middle of the Atlantic neither … Keep running after USA begging for a trade agreement with no results is a bit disappointing! So some brits may keep dreaming about the marvelous of Brexit but facts are undeniable unfortunately! It was indeed a masterclass & a study case of political manipulation!
Brexit disaster
Why, uk has outperformed France and Germany in the last 5 years
@chrimbus71 In what? Loosing jobs?
Closing down local businesses?
Closing down large portions of its farming industries?
The only thing the UK is leading in now are negatives.
@@patrickpedersen8434 question - who has been in recession for the last 3 years now - Germany or the UK.
Europe including the UK is fd.
but keep waving that EU flag Patrick
@chrimbus71 The whole world has issues right now, but none of these issues can be blamed on the EU.
The UK has had problems for years, a big part of these issues were from leaving the EU.
The UK thought they could keep all the benefits, which is what the UK politicians promised.
A shame they were able to gaslight so many brits.
@@patrickpedersen8434 that sums you up nicely...
the whole world has issues and every country blames the people that run the place, but you sheeple never ever blame the EU. They are perfect. Never blame the EU.
who is gaslit!!
you are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome Patrick. Take Care
You are getting poorer by the year, but its not the EUs fault🤣🤣
would have needed a passport either way UK was never part of shengen (im pro rejoin btw😅)
Needing a passport at the boarder for occasional checks was not an issue. Being able to live and work in ANY EU country is.
Nope, I travelled to the UK with ID card before.
"From 1 October 2021 you need a valid passport to travel to the United Kingdom (UK)." Quote from Ugov site
@ysabelcornelivre3392 If thats the case then my mistake 👍🏻
@@Redf322you can still live and work in the eu without being in the eu
@@ysabelcornelivre3392Not true you always needed a passport
👏👏👏👏
French propaganda. Brexit was never properly implemented.
Classic right-winger always blaming others for your own fault. When will people like you be able to admit you where wrong on this one.
You are no different the lizz when it came to her mini budget. Destroyed the economy then blamed every one else for the mess she caused.
What does a proper implemented Brexit look like?

I'd still vote leave. It's not as though the EU is doing any better!.
Oh yes it is. On a per capita basis Britain is still below pre pandemic levels which is not the case for other EU countries. If you grow your population by over 1-1.5 % a year your economy must grow by the same in order for in effect there not be a recession. Britain at the moment is not growing at all let alone by 1.5%.
You voted leave because you didn't understand how everything works and you don't understand still.
brexit, the biggest mistake of your lifetime, by far
I voted remain but would vote leave if a referendum were held now. Anti English 🏴 xenophobia seems rife in the EU 🇪🇺. Better off out of it.
@@Buckets1000Oh wow 😂, get the champagne 🍾🥂 out pmsl 😂. Go to Ireland 🇮🇪 and offer a glass to someone who either can't find a house to rent or can but it's to expensive to rent and who can't live on the wages they get as prices are through the roof and bills extortionate. That's why we have half the Irish 🇮🇪 population living in our country 🏴. It's all very well having great GDP but it's definitely not filtering down to the people is it 🙄.
Voted Brexit here. Best decision ever made. Zero regrets. Remoaners and the Mayor of London can keep crying.

@@Peter-w7j UK saving £350M a week how much do you pay ?
ahaha you forgot GDP PPP in international dollars, the most precise to compare between countries with different populations and currencies, lets have the same amount of potatoes or products for all countries; france surpassed UK, EU too (Eurozone, is even higher) and Italy, Spain and Poland coming fast right in the corner. So the wide margin since Brexit only worsetet for UK
@@GodSpeed24z PPP is not "the most precise to compare between countries" GDP is the primary metric used as it is a more accurate measurement of a nations overall production. Regardless, in terms of PPP the UK's growth rate outperformed Germany and France since Brexit.
@@distinctga5811 GDP comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than those using nominal GDP when assessing the domestic market of a state because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates, which may distort the real differences in per capita income.
No regrets, Brits under the US Israel management are happy 😂😂😂

I don't believe it. Most Brits support Brexit. The UK is better, richer, stronger and happier today than it was before. If they could vote again, 100% would vote for Brexit.

Once upon a time there was a storyteller, his name was Pinocchio! He told the vititom how great BREXIT was. Vititom believed it because he didn't know who Pinocchio really was! So vititom continued to tell these tall tales and his nose got longer and longer. One day, Vititom poked something in the back and asked what it was? Then a person who saw it said, it's your nose!
It is impossible to argue with this level of delusion
