Brexit going forward: Who are the winners and losers? | DW News

- No one really thought the UK would vote to leave the EU. But they did and it up-ended politics in Britain and the EU. When it takes effect it will change many aspects of life for people on both sides of the English Channel.
Leaving the European Union. Leaving all the restrictions, duties, and the benefits of being part of a greater whole.
Leaving behind freedom of movement, simple trade, and hundreds of common rules covering everything from human rights to light-bulb specifications.
DW Correspondents Birgit Maass in London and Georg Matthes in Brussels have had front-row seats at the Brexit process from the very beginning.
They have not only reported from the endless summits and negotiations, but also traveled through the UK and Europe, and even beyond. They met people whose lives will be affected - in some ways that could have been predicted - and in some ways that couldn’t.
As Birgit and Georg look towards the future, they pick out those people whose fates show us what’s going to happen in a Brexit world. The fishing communities who set sail from different coasts looking to make a living from the same waters, and how bitter the fight has become for them. The British farmers who will see their income slashed, and what that’ll mean, depending on how big their farms are. The people who made their lives in Britain but are no longer welcome. And of course those on both sides of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

#Brexit #UK #EU
One of the few times in history when a country voted to put sanctions on itself.
But the UK got sovereignty... right? Now, you are your own boss...
Exactly. Britain has declared a trade war....with itself!
@@i_fuk_religion yeah .... all that for it's own sovereignty aka not to have eu law they signed against anyway and to copy/paste eu law that well .... they need anyway when it come to ban bad stuff, make sure not to ruin they fish reserve (quota) and so on
such a great sovereignty i'm sure all the fisher in uk love it xD
@@i_fuk_religionour country is ruined because of Brexit
@@paullarne How's that going for you?
Remainer here: I almost fell off my chair when I saw the Brexit vote result. I went on the huge protest marches in London after. Brexit has proved every bit as bad as I feared. Those who voted leave appear to me, to be bashful and shy in proclaiming the joys of Brexit, these days.
Likewise I was on at least 2 protest marches and remain a strong Bremainer.
you should be happy your nhs got all the money sent to eu back... wait it didnt hapen? but the bus! the big red bus said so! :P
@@namonamo494
the NHS has had boosts of far more than quoted
Mostly to cover COVID but lots of hospitals have been expanded and refurbished as a result so
Yes it did happen
Not because of the bull snot on the bus or because of leaving the EU
Not one person here see's any positive reason leaving was good
The amount of EX-bremainers that have told me they feared leaving but afterwards they didn't notice a difference in any area other than inflation which is a result of the sanctions war going on with Russia
And the American economy that biden royally fooked up meaning any that had loans in the USD had inflation on top of other inflation
I work in the takeaway industry and it's NEVER BEEN BUSIER
I'm not talking cheaper places like MC Donalds
It's a cost of living crisis NOBODY HAS HAD CRISIS WITH
During the time you speak of
The living wage and the minimum wage have never been closer. NEVER
THE UK has spent more than any other EU nation on future energy security
Oil refineries have had the largest hydrogen generators worldwide installed to generate hydrogen from excess wind energy currently being sold to France
The nitrogen will then be fed to the many gas power stations we already have because using hydrogen only pollutes the world with water and oxygen
The internet has had a nation BACKED upgrade to fiber to the house saving everyone who upgraded at least £15 a month on line rental that is no longer needed
I went from
30Mbps for £35 PM
to
500Mbps for £20 PM
THE UK HAS MASSIVELY profited from not being part of the anti competition rules from the EU
And relations with individual EU members will only grow now we have less red tape
Regardless to any of that the main reason we have benefited is that our children etc will have a say on the laws that restrict their own freedom and not everyone on the continent that may well have different needs
@@namonamo494 also
Yes it did happen
The NHS is funded by the national coffers
Anything saved by leaving the EU goes where may I ask
The NHS grows every year
The cost grows faster
To upgrade the NHS the funding needs to improve 50% more than the cost of the upgrade
@@davidlally592 so you don't believe in democracy then
It's a consequence of nationalism.
A populism from right or left can cause a big distruction.
It would be interesting to investigate who supported the brexit and from where they got the money, if their aim was to weaken the European Union ???
@@ogathingo8885Russian bots were supporting Brexit because Russia wanted a weaker EU and UK
They lost an Empire….
@@ogathingo8885
A vast proportion of the money/bribery came from wealth & wealthy institutions in the City of London/Londongrad (the financial enclave).
Their agenda was of course to make even more money, achievable through their desired reduction of transparency, regulations and taxes.
Then they all made heavy use of populistic principles and tactics, drumming up voter support with mis- & disinformation, fear mongering ("immigration! shocking taxes! abolition of private ownership (communism)! EU overreach & abolished sovereignty!").
Apparently and unfortunately, too many fell for it, only to actually get costlier living and an even weaker society (public institutions, including schools, NHS, to name but a few).
The right aren't right, they're disgraceful greedy egotists, rarely correct and NOT rarely corrupt. 🦝🤮
There is a one and huge positive effect from Brexit.
Thanks to the brave and quite lunatic step out by UK, all similar voices in EU suddenly shout out. Hope it will remain so for a long time.
There is another positive effect. No more complaining and undermining Brits in the EU. A new win if you ask me.

That's what happens when you ask people to make decisions based on wrong facts....... Good luck for the fishermen
EU and Scotland is the winner !!!
i saw a comment on a similar video
"Selfish? yes"
"Sell fish? no"
Wrong facts like ted heaths "no loss of sovereignty" as he was giving away UK sovereign waters. 1975 is when the UK was told it is only a shopping area, then outright denied a direct say for 41 years.
Most of the wrong " facts" were made by remain and as of yet not one of their doom laden stories has come true.
@@roywallbank8065 Supermakets have increasingly empty shelves(not due to covid, but Brexit, the shelves arn't empty in the EU), fish and crops are rotting, garbage isn't handled, untreated sewagewater.. Increasing trade deficit and a massive loss of taxincome from financial markets. Loss of freedom of movement. It's indeed coming true and it might even lead to an end of the UK's existence. It's in fact happened and it's happening and isn't getting better, just worse for the UK and it's people.
As a young person from a deprived background in the north of england, I'm excited to find out how much worse things can get

Yoda and just about ever other major source of wisdom know this to be true.
As well as every motivational speaker.

Jack Canfield and so on.
You must know what you want a goal an outcome a focus. And then take massive action to get there. And it's most basic.
Yoda said when luke tries to raise the Xwing from the swamp. And Luke says he can't it's to big.
" Don't try, either do or do not !
When Luke fails.
Yoda points out that it's not the size of the object that matters but whether you in truth believe in yourself. That's the hardest part for most people even when they have a clear goal. Have a look at the people I mentioned.
I hope that helps ? Might just be annoying : )
Might change your life. There is only action, do or do not.
whatever you
you do you must believe in yourself.

@@FlashdogFul28 Rubbish, the UK has been diminished that's the reality, people will suffer reduced freedoms, economic opportunity and the 1% will now deregulate the UK!! Brexit Britannica will be bad!!
Unfortunately the roots of Brexit are in GB still seeing itself as the head of a colonial empire, an age long gone and no longer relevant. So sad.
While being banned from doing our own trade deals, the UK just wanted free trade access to something more than the protectionist bloc. yes the empire was disbanded so amicably that the nations joined the Commonwealth, a Commonwealth that has 2,4 billion customers over the eu`s 435 million. empire not relevant but the Commonwealth highly relevant. I have to point out that Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland, so it isnt GB for this debate, it is the UK.
Maybe read history book about my country. Then compare it to the dump you have emerged from
Relying on cheap workforce.. 🤭
oh noo...
them gone and no any cheaper is coming..
British jobs for British.. 🤣🤣🤣
@@marksavage1108 please be so kind and calculate the average income of the Commonwealth and compare it to the EU😅,you're a joke for even mentioning that the Commonwealth is relevant. I would like to see selling 100k range rovers to Jamaica or Barbados or another country in the Commonwealth that you so much cherish,and I know you'll throw in Canada and Australia but that's about it with high earning in the "Commonwealth"
The day that EU was looking for offshore bank accounts of english politicans and richest people,( then the UK decided they wanted out EU)
Spot on! That is the one and only reason for Brexit, fish and the rest is just to fool the uneducated and uninformed and it worked out good so far but will it for long?
@@bokhans
The big problem of humanity is that we have a fish brain not a fish problem
(we forget fast)
Well, these rich people also rely on business, they don't get their fortunes out of nowhere. Getting out of the EU will also see their bank accounts income reduced. You can always circumvent these EU laws and protect your money with an army of lawyers, there is an Aljazeera documentary about this.
I think so.
Yes. Farage is a millionaire hedge fund operator. He wanted Brexit to keep his offshore tax avoidance shelters.
He conned the public that he is just an ordinary bloke down the pub. He most definitely is not.
He conned them into voting for something that is already damaging the UK.
I see that as treason.
So Paul, why do you want England to leave the EU?

Thee UK govt would have managed to to move UK to Antarctica if given such opportunity ;-))
So sad. But hey, on the bright side, now all those queuing up for jobs able Brits can finally get to put on their favourite veg picking gloves and go to work! Well done.
I have seen some videos where the pale white and drunk EDL were marching.
Now they can finally march out in the fields and get a salary. 🥒🥒🍅🍅🐽🐽
Even with the same salary as pre-brexit seasonal picker? Now that's what you called patriotism
yeah its like the UK is only fruit and veg fields, it had nothing to do with things like the Industrial Revolution. the UK was totally incapable on the international stage until the eec invented all life in 1975.
@@marksavage1108 So which sector has benefitted from Brexit? Genuinely interested because all that's being seen (even on conservative Brit newspapers) is food shortages in Britain, jobs leaving the UK, lower GDP, higher trade deficit, Brits having troubles abroad in the EU and renewed separatism in NI and Scotland.
If I was a Scot, putting up a few customs posts is looking increasingly attractive to return to the world's biggest trade bloc and leaving England to their mess.
For now there is a la our shortage that needs to be adjusted for.
It will be a year or so before that has happened, so for now everything will seem pretty good.
so basically all the winners are outside of UK
There are no winners, except those trying to protect their offshore money from EU scrutiny, and they finance the Tory party.
Yes there in ukrain
to be fair, those who lost the less are all out uk (everyone is a looser at first, uk much more then anyone else xD but still everyone)
could become a great win for eu if they manage to move more and faster without uk (wich is quite likely when you considered how uk has always been in but out of eu in a way) but that part aint there just yet
No reason for UK to ever rejoin then.
Ah, the most positive thing i noticed, 7 months in, is the European unity and the sentiment that we have each other.
UK hardships that came and will still come years on, only showed that the EU union is a good project.
You are living in fairy land.
@@richardsevern2048 you mea brexitear?lol
the vaccine roll out showed lots of citizens in eu member countries that the eu project isnt so good. France riots every day against macron and his eu single-mindedness. Macron even stated on UK television that if the French were given a leave remain vote, they would follow the UK out. the eec trading union was a good project, the eu political union one is not.
@@marksavage1108 you just forgot to mention that macron made that statement just after the Brexit vote in January 2018.
Second you also left away that hr stated that France would vote leave if it had the same context as the UK did at that time. He added that that was not the case.
So again we see the right wing tactic of spreading misinformation. "Half truths, are the most dangerous lies..."
@@MrMaarten1969 That would be a viable argument if it wasnt for the FACT that France had the vote on the eu constitution and voted NO, the 2005 NO vote pisses on whatever you thought you were going to gain with a basically inept argument. was it a half truth that France has already made its intentions clear but was IGNORED? so where is the misinformation buttercup?
I'm still annoyed at the statement that UK voted to leave the EU. Scotland and Northern Ireland didn't we were dragged out against our will.
Part of the joys of being part of the UK
We all know it, it's sad... In fact Northern part wanted also to became independent and became part of EU, as they didn't support Brexit...
Be grateful the U.K. had a vote in leaving the EU .
When you are a small population the majority vote counts.
Scots were given the chance to exit Britain but they voted staying with UK, so gotta go with the flow.
Getting rid off the City of London was the best element of Brexit. Thank you UK and please keep your fish.
I can see more and more people who are British or from British territories have been denied a vote even though it also affects them. I am one of the many EU British residents who have also been denied a vote. Whatever the outcome a basic principal should be to allow all areas where British and British territories exist should have been allowed a vote. A BASIC principal of democracy.I would have voted remain.
As a UK citizen I will now be affected by laws made in the EU - do you think I should be allowed a vote in those debates? No, don't be silly.

@@MENSA.lady2 16 millions people in the UK apparently care?
@coolinjapan so the eu didnt lose the UK contributions, they lost the UK influence, they lost the world standing as united. They lost millions of citizens believing their lies anymore.
@@srisuartini5329 yes the rich who wanted cheap labour for their own greed cared for themselves. the youth who didnt know anything about things before the eu, cared for measly roaming charges. 16 million who didnt care about living in a democracy or not. the 16 million cared for themselves and how it affected them, the 17,410,742 majority cared for the democratic status of the UK. and its future for the youth to be able to grow up with the same powers of the vote we had before the eu started ignoring votes.
@coolinjapan OH so explain the 60+ trade deals done in the 4 1/2 years of transition. yeah we lost influence while gaining 60+ influences into the wider world. the disunited eu will soon fall on its own sword. Macron on UK TV clearly stated if the French were given the same in/ out vote, he said France would follow the UK out. 2005 France voted NO, Netherlands voted NO 2017 Greece vote NO, those ````IGNORED```` no votes show it isnt that unified, it wasnt so unified or the UK wouldnt have voted against it. oh it took the eu 15 years to do a trade deal with Canada, 12 years for Japans, the UK did BOTH and 58 others.

There are a number of big businesses and investors who will greatly benefit. Deregulation - a clear aim of Brexit - is almost always a benefit to the "big" players, not the average person. And "trickle down economics" have never worked, they won't either this time.
@@garyfletcher1910 source? Can't get the math in my head to work out on that one.

@@lostintashkent I imagine it is, you surely know more about this than me, but I imagine that if EU was a good deal, UK would have stayed...
@@FlorinGN They will come back soon enough when they notice how little power they have left
Absolutely. General loss of relevance. So instead of getting down to dealing with the actual structural problems they decided to focus on easy sell sideshow issues to rouse the old spirit of the trenches. It worked a treat! If things go well, they'll still be able to milk those issues into the next election while the country loses out on the "economic point of view".
One aspect is the role of the EU as the scapegoat for UK. The EU was always blamed for the domestic problems of the UK.
Unfortunately this still goes on as many people in the UK do not understand that the rules for 3rd countries apply to UK as well. They seem to have problems to accept that UK has no special status - that UK is not something that should get special treatment.
There was the Christmas deal with UK and EU, showing that UK got anyhow some better conditions than it could have had. The UK avoided horribly bad situation that no deal WTO-level situation would have caused.
Unfortunately many brexiteers do not seem to be able to understand that this is the situation that EU was warning since many years. Instead the brexiteers seems to blame EU for bullying UK. They are not able to understand that the EU is simply following the rules that were written by big influence of UK when UK was member of the EU.
Actually now I hope that the Christmas deal will be dumped and the WTO terms will come in place. Otherwise EU will be the scapegoat for the brexiteers forever.
Better to zero the situation, start from scratch and build a up new relationship from the basics. Some years with WTO terms would show what the benefits of trade agreements are. And the scapegoating the EU for everything might finally end.
Great comment

I'm Greek and I would fully support a Bremain but the EU is not only about economy. My country and Cyprus have been bullied by Turkey in the East Mediterranean but since Turkey is a partner of many member states, no sanctions are taken against them. Sod off EU
The winner is the US. Finally the UK is out of the EU. The smaller EU opposes less threat to the US.
The whole brexit chaos brought the member states further together. More people than ever recognise the deep sense of European unity. In my view brexit (together with the surreal behaviour of Trump) did a great job for the ever deeper union. The 21st century will see a real pan-european statehood, rather sooner than later.
The EU was never a threat to the US and now the Americans have lost their conduit and main influencer in the EU. The winners are China and Russia.
@@taintabird23well, I only know that the US has been super supportive to the UK for Brexit.

The historical significance of 2016, when not one, but two (self inflicted) political bombshells exploded upon the world...
Politics needed something different than the constant push for globalism. one self inflicted desire to live democratically, no direct vote for 41 years isnt democratic. the other was the Americans looking at past corruption of politicians and wanted to risk putting a businessman in to stop the endless wars the globalists created on lies.

🤣 you cannot blame brexit for 1. Government inept and 2. The inflexibility of the EU (its not in their interest to make UK trade easy)
@@SwissCheese112 it's not in their remit to make UK trade easy. The EU is also required to treat third countries uniformly, if they do not then the WTO will have something to say. Farage and Johnson did not give a fig for the costs of Brexit so what do you expect? They did not want for instance to join the electronic processes to facilitate trade because to do so would require them to agree to observe EU rules concerning security. The EU is what it is, if you don't want to participate then so be it.
@@tonycook7679 if you know absolutely anything about business it is that rules and prices are never set in stone. The EU is no different. If they wanted harmony for the uk, they would give it. End of.
@@SwissCheese112 Did you even read what you just wrote? If the EU (the scorned party) wants harmony with the UK (a now completely separate country to whom they owe no obligation) then they should give them special benefits (at a detriment to EU business, with significant political cost, and damaging their position on the international stage). No one would take that deal. Furthermore, no one should take that deal, it would be ethically wrong to encourage bad faith trade and diplomacy.

Fish and MISSED pointing out that 55% of English quota was SOLD to foreign ships to fish.
The english fishermen spoke to were let down by their friends in England. Scottish fishing boats retained 94% of their quota. But all got dragged into this abyss. Control in England means selling for profit to highest bidder, not for sustainable coastal towns.
AT LAST! Someone with a memory and the balls to tell the truth.
You can't sell something and then just take it back. Even under British law there's a word for that: THEFT.

I’m not happy to suffer in the short term because I don’t see any long term benefits. However my brexit voting mum is happy to see me lose my job due to it . Brexit is almost a religion to her and her husband .
How was losing your job due to Brexit? or was it all to do with covid and you are just another pro eu liar
Part of my job involves shipping goods in and out the EU. Some are made in China which incur tariffs when exported into the EU. My company has opened an office in Bulgaria to handle future shipping. My skills can be reallocated but I fear for our full time shipping staff . My mum made it clear that if I did lose my job her precious brexit would be worth it . My skills are not easy to transfer as the industry I work in is small. I will never vote to harm my own daughter’s future as they have done .
aw poor you, what about the Ford Transit jobs that the eu gave a loan to so they could relocate to Turkey? what about thousands of UK citizens jobs undercut by cheap foreign labour. you should do as the lib/dems say and retrain. or you could go live in Bulgaria. and those ``external tariffs`` is one of the reasons that secured the leave vote.
Well a lot of the jobs are now moving into the EU as companies open offices in Ireland , Netherlands, Germany etc to avoid tariffs . workers are losing their jobs and the economy is hurting . Many small businesses that export won’t survive .
@@nickclarkuk the neo liberal corporate globalists never wanted any small or medium businesses to compete. many small businesses that export have already gone bust over the covid scam. otherwise why would you think they would go bust over Brexit, have we not just signed a free trade deal that cost the UK taxpayer £39 Billion, so much for free. you repeat the eu lies because as we see with Northern Ireland, they are not honourable enough to stand by what they agreed to. a lot of jobs lost is not a comparison to have a democratic right to remove those that govern you. as I said ,, retrain.
Apart from bankers and hedge fund managers nobody can point to any concrete benefit from Brexit. Slowly but surely this is becoming more and more obvious to everybody, even the ones who were fooled into voting leave.

I still don't think it's worth it but yea tradesmen have a lot more money than we had before. There's so many jobs we can be super picky.
Who else is here after seeing the chaos Brexit is causing in the UK currently.
I don't think I've ever seen and heard so many people who want something for nothing!

That is exactly what the UK has now done.
BREXIT, bluffing method gone wrong

Right. The irony is that some of the rules where put in place by the UK or at least with the UK while they where part of the EU. A lot of media in the UK now has headlines like "because of new EU rules ...". Though 99% of the rules that now affect the UK were in place for years before brexit. They just haven't thought through the affections. Though that's not the fault of the EU.

@Clec Torres Of course not. We (Germany) wished the UK would stay in the EU and DW is the official international broadcaster of Germany.

Anyone can make quasi-socialism work for a few decades. The British system has worked for centuries. Maybe, just maybe, there is a lesson to learn from us there.
As a lover of Europe, Brexit is the best thing to happen for all countries in the EU.
The EU is currently heading for a complete break-up because its self-perpetuating growth in power and influence will, inevitably, reduce its popularity. Brexit is a warning sign that the German-led desire to have more and more integration, needs to slow down or even reverse, in order to keep the majority of EU citizens happy.
I agree with your first line and disagree with the rest. The population of EU has seen the mess that Brexit brought to the brits and many parties throughout Europe who wanted to leave EU have now abandoned that idea. In Sweden we had two partiess in the parliament who wanted to leave, the one furthest to the left and the one furthest to the right. None of them want to leave now after watching Brexit. I have heard the same thing applies in general in EU countries, people and parties have become more positive to EU, leaving it is the worst option for a european country.
@@elyrexo no, it is not at all like that, you missed the point completely
Damn this is fkg heartbreaking
I've got to say, this is an awfully one-sided take on brexit. It's possible to value international coöperation, the vibrancy of diverse languages and cultures, how travel broadens the mind, peace, and many more good things about the EU - without valuing, indeed, while actively rejecting the "institutional pressure", or the political underpinnings of the EU. This piece explored only the perspectives of leave and remain ultras, as if moderate positions don't exist. Some acknowledge the imperfections of the EU but come to differing conclusions, eg to promote reform from within or else to remain in the SM but leave the political institutions.
I continue to hope that we will find rapprochement and find the best of both perspectives, perhaps once the grief inflicted by brexit subsides (and, likely, the fictional benefits that any sort of hard brexit entertained prove beyond all doubt to be illusions), but that rapprochement begins with letting go. This piece doesn't do that. Quite the contrary, it encourages resentment and perpetuation of that grief.
Well said sir!
Perfectly summed up. I would have expected a lot more from DW. This piece was extremely fatalist in its approach.
What do you mean with "the political underpinnings"? The EU was founded in origin to prevent a new world war by connecting with our neighbors rather than competing with them.
The current political implementation is far from perfect. It's very slow and bureaucratic, but that actually helps to distribute the power. New laws need to be agreed by all member states and by a majority in parliament. And apart from making laws, the EU doesn't have a lot of power yet. The big downside is that the EU can't react swiftly to crisis situations. Think about the migration crisis, the financial crisis, or Covid.
There are ways to improve that, like bringing border control or banking under EU command. But that would give the EU direct influence on the citizens, not something everybody wants.
This populist govt will use Brexit as an opportunity to deregulate, with a terrible USA deal. It will continue to gaslight the public with emotive slogans.
Transition has allowed Brexiteers to have false comfort giving plenty of time to entrench ideological stance.

Second
The tax loophole
The financial aspect of London; ‘the square mile’ traditionally focused around the Bank of England, and the old trading and commerce heart of the former core of Britain’s economy. That small area, stuffed full of Suits and businesspeople and skyscrapers - at least until Covid - is The City of London, with the sprawling other 95% of the city being just London.
The latter where even The Queen needed permission to enter.... lolz
The tax loophole
Brexit was never going to be a car crash but a slow puncture.
I'm ashamed to be British.
This is a day of sadness. Britain’s departure remains a tragic national error. We have expelled ourselves from a union that was good for this country and the world. The role of the anti-European press in making this happen was decisive, so it is somehow fitting that a government led by journalists has slammed the door. But at least the EU can no longer be blamed for our continuing tensions, inequalities and failures of governance.
These tensions cannot be magicked away. Brexit was opposed by majorities in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London and other cities, as well as by most young people and most graduates. None of that is going to change, whatever the overall majority verdict was in 2016 and however tired of the argument we all may be. This is a country divided over Europe. We were divided in the past and we will be divided in the future. Getting Brexit done is a fantasy. It is a supposed solution that only creates new historic problems.
In 2016, many of the most fanatical Brexiters hoped the UK’s departure would trigger the EU’s breakup. Yet two of the most striking consequences of the vote were the unity of the EU27 in the face of Brexit compared with the growing disunity of the UK4 over the issue. The breakup of Britain rather than the EU is now the more likely prospect. It would be a terrible price to pay. But the delusions that fed and fostered Brexit still have much of the Conservative party and press in their grip, as a number of gloating speeches from the Tory benches on Wednesday indicated.
Ask farmers in the Netherlands & France how great the EU is now.
British people forget, what made them significant in the past was its overseas colonies that they used to rip off. So, are they willing to reconquer those island. Cause small countries have no economic advantage today and in future as compared to large countries with a bigger population.
So your telling us the rest of the EU didn't have colonies and still do.

Just because Scotland spends more per head of population, does not mean that England (rather London) is paying for it. In fact many of the areas that Scots benefit from are specifically raised through their own (higher) taxes.
You also might want to check what is included when it comes to what is raised, as many aspects of the Scottish economy is counted as UK income rather than specifically Scottish.
If you want the perks of decent social care, I suggest voting for someone other than a conservative for once.
Scotland isn’t the impoverished territory little Britons try to make it out to be- remember it is the 2nd wealthiest area outside of the southeast.

City firms revealed in the final months of 2020 that they planned to shift nearly £100bn in assets to the EU, taking the total value of assets lost to the bloc since the Brexit vote to £1.3 trillion, according to a new survey.
The data from consulting group EY pointed to a last-minute push by firms before 31 December after the UK-EU trade deal did not offer concessions for the UK’s dominant financial services sector. It forced companies to move staff and assets to the continent in order to continue serving EU customers.
According to EY’s latest Brexit tracker, which covered the period from October 2020 to February, firms have shifted or declared plans to move approximately £500bn worth of those assets in the last two years alone.
Goldman Sachs was among them, having shifted around $40bn-$60bn (£29bn-£43bn) worth of assets to its Frankfurt operations at the end of 2020.
It has also emerged that JP Morgan Chase was planning to relocate €200bn (£173bn) worth of assets to Germany as part of its own Brexit preparations. It is understood that process is still going on.
London was dealt a blow last month after separate data showed Amsterdam had overtaken the UK capital as Europe’s largest share trading centre. That was due to EU rules that require shares traded in euros to be traded on EU exchanges or in countries with special “equivalence” status - which has not been granted to Britain.
These guys dont want to hear facts. They just want to believe that "it will be good in the long term"
What I objected to with cheap foreign labour was that the tax payer topped up their low wages with tax credits, the company should have paid them a decent wage in the first place!
And cheap British labour, which was most of it, and working single mums, people like that.
That wasn’t the EU forcing the British government to do that.
A very biased report. It didn't talk about controlling immigration which is out of control.
The government aren't going to control immigration. The UK needs foreigners, and the government is going to source immigrants from other countries in their trade deals.
The U.K. already had control of immigration. Brexit changes nothing there.
This wasn't one-sided at all; it's completely without bias.
Factual does care about feelings & bias
Moscow cold
I thought British people where smart until Brexit.
TLDR: everyone.
What I say
Except outside powers like the US, China, Russia, India. The UK on its own and the EU without one of their strongest members are both in a weaker position. They can't negotiate as hard for trade deals, and they can't put as much pressure on others with regards to human rights for example. I bet Brexit was celebrated behind many closed doors. Brexiteers are celebrating with them even though Brexit has put the UK in a weaker position.
@@dotdashdotdash ohhh vaccination, a term highly pushed by media to cover all other aspects... let's pretend for a second that the pandemic never occurred or is solved in the future months and talk about the facts:
-you lost companies
-you lost money
-you are about to lose essential workers because the UK is no longer an open border, and with new rules, you are about to lose an estimated 32 -35% (~500 000) in a matter of months. I am talking about vast areas from unqualified workers to engineers, nurses, doctors, economists, etc.
The problem is that you see only what your media let you see. I am from Romania, and I have 0 interest in your future on what is happening there but try to answer a question I was asked by one of my friends that returned to Romania only to go to Denmark.
"In a country where the native average people are not interested in any salubrity, construction, farming, logistic or maintenance jobs, once that half of us (continent people) leave them, who will replace us ?"
You leave the EU, congratulation, but the worst is yet to come. And I am only hoping that the time will prove me wrong.
Good luck!
@@dotdashdotdash another misinformation ..for the total number of immigrants only ~450 000 are Romanians, the number is rising several million for the total number of immigrants not only Romanians. So Please let me know how you came with this number. And about Ursula von der Leyen...no I did not vote for her I vote for the European parliament her naming is that position is similar to the prime minister position which is chosen by the running party.
@@dotdashdotdash name all....any new trade deals that the UK has made that will benefit the UK,don't include the deals rolled over from being a member of the EU.....
