People voted for Brexit to reduce levels of immigrations. Levels of immigration sky rocketed. We had 1.5m people coming in 2024 alone (and 0.5m left, largely British and European, including the largest exodus of millionaires in the world except for China). It's not that everyone regrets Brexit, it's they are angry the key promise of Brexit was ignored.
What promise? The vote was a simple binary remain or leave. Most of the rest was constructed by people who were never in a position to deliver on their promises. You were well and truly 'had'.
Not only skyrocketed, it was a total substitution from Europeans to Indias, Pakistanies and Nigerian. More or less close culture to completely different ones.
Millionaires can be replaced, most of them are just dead wood who refused to pay tax anyway. Now if we froze their assets and patents for people who do want to roll their sleeves up, that would be something. Simple fact is, the remaining millionaires want cheap labour, and thats the real reason legal immigration has gone up. "CON"servatives, its in the name and this flavour of right wing labour are no different. Untill people learn that most of our prosperity was built on a centre left foundation (Clemont atley), nothing will change. The far right and centre right have done nothing but sell off the family silver since the 1980's, which is why our taxes are higher than ever and we have less to show for it. We now have to rent everything and pay multiple layers of midlemen for any service.
Not true. Irish economy is booming and far surpassed UK in terms of GDP and wealth. Polish economy is also booming and due to surpass UK within 5 years.
One thing I keep hearing about disgruntled Brexit voters is how we didn't get a "proper" Brexit. We have left the EU and the EEA - by far the most important institutions of the EU. So in what way can Brexit be legitimatly described as a "failure" .. ? We have *not* left the ECHR. But the ECHR is in fact not part of the EU project as it pre dates it by 6 years. Many countries are bound by the ECHR and are not in the EU. One such example used to be Russia..... Yes we are still bound by EU regulations... and so are farmers in Brazil and Africa. And manufacturers in China and Vietnam. Such is life: the EU is a very powerful hegemony and just because you are no longer part *of* it doesn't mean you are not *bound by* it. Reform are pushing for us to leave the ECHR and that is the Missing Ingredient that will Fix Everything. And once again; having left the ECHR and it causing far more problems than it fixes, they will try and blame something else for Brexit "not working".... ... eventually there will be *nothing left to blame.*
Uk is only need to follow eu rules if it trade with the eu. However that’s not the case as the gov include eu rules into most of the uk government bureaucracy. Not to mention the uk have not gotten a trade deal with America or other countries plus it continue to import beggars
We have indeed instutionally left the EU. But UK politicians and whitehall have DRAGGED THEIR FEET about taking advantage of it EXPUNGING EU retained low - pathetic. Using VAT to nuance for UK. -- ZERO. Making FTA agreements overseas. - D for effort. They have resisted EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY. Totally resisted. That's why we have to GET RID OF LABOUR AND THE CONSERVATIVES and put Reform in the driving seat.
@ The EU gave UK politicians a great get-out clause as, in the main, decisions were made in Bruxelles. That is why the country is in a mess now as our political class has lost its ability to govern.
Brexit was a tragedy for both UK and EU. Divide and conquer.. I'm just glad nobody else followed in UK's footsteps. True democratic countries are stronger together, especially in these uncertain times.
What tragedy for EUrope - Brexit went pretty smooth here, and the results were restricted to just a few companies? Zje idea that Brexit would have a big effect on EUrope only shows a completely wrong view of many Brits of their role in the world.
I contract for a large multi national company in the UK. They don't have room for me in their offices in so I have to work from home. My girlfriend lives in Spain so I asked whether I could login from 'home' in Spain. The answer was no. Just because of Brexit. I have also been offered contacts abroad where I could work from home but I would officially be based abroad. Again because of Brexit I cant. Why? This is just stupid. Britain exported so many services over centuries and now we are not even allowed to travel for work? Genius!
Because you'll be paid by a British-based company office in GBP, but you'll end up spending a large part of that money in Spain. In other words, you'll boost the Spanish economy at the expense of the UK economy.

Thanks for these videos, it's refreshing to watch something measured and informative like this
I and millions of Brexit voters,didn't khow the goverment would replace european immigration,with immigration from elsewhere after the vote. Were we told that in the run up to the vote no. Blame the government, not the people for Brexit failure. Im 60 and old enough to know,that voting for what you want gets you nowhere.
@@michaelmoran1964 on top of that, a deadline was set and the option to never being able to get out was upon us. Given the circumstances and the impossibility to predict the future, voting out was the safest bet.
Because we need immigration to fill holes in the workforce especially in the are sector and building sector and hospitality plus farmers rely on foreign workers as Brits won't do those sort of jobs
As a European I am neither for or against Brexit. That's up to the citizens of the country entirely, and I can understand both views. I am also not very pro E.U. either. That said, I make one observation regarding Britain's economic circumstance post Brexit. While many might point out that the other major E.U. economies are not exactly growing so well either. That is somewhat true. However, the main difference, I would say, is that Britain has gone Much further into Debt vs. these other E.U. countries, with a slight exception of France. The Govt. has had to Spend much more into debt, with little to no economic results for having done so, compared to E.U. countries. This is the main result, which then states it has been much more Costly to the U.K. than E.U. counterparts. Debt matters, especially to Britain, which while being outside the E.U. is paying Much higher interest rates on it's Debt, than any of the major countries of Europe and even most all of the non majors as well. So this seems to be the ongoing cost.
Our biggest level of expenditure is the rising cost of the NHS, this is causing our expenditure to rocket and National Debt to grow. Leaving the EU is nothing compared to rgrowing expenditure on the NHS.
The debt in the UK is high because the rich have not been taxed sufficiently. Labour taxes the middle class and the poorer people but leaves the rich alone.
You mean the UK. The UK spent a lot putting the population on furlough for about two years. And some (including Starmer) wanted to continue it. And keep schools shut. And keep GP's shut. And keep lots of businesses shut. Through ridiculous overreaction to a virus that was bound to weaken. Meanwhile. the Chinese stock market automatically shut down twice in a row in about as many weeks. THAT had more impact than BREXIT did. And the shipping logjam. And worldwide transport (lorry) shortage. AND world fuel prices. ... AND Putin's agression. So many economic headwinds. ...
That could be the difference between the GDP overall and the GDP per person. The UK population is growing so fast that somehow the total GDP still may grow a bit, while for the single person it goes down.
You talk such absolute twaddle. "Everyone wegwets" blah blah. No we don't. Just a lot of anti brexiter whiners carry on about it. This is just a load of rubbish.
For many who voted, it wasn’t an economic argument, but a question of governance. Plenty of people are happy with the vote they cast, but not the decisions that have been made by politicians subsequently. If you base your decisions purely on economic arguments and GDP figures etc, you end up with a country like the U.K. has become today. Unlimited migration will increase GDP, but will strain services, and this experiment was put on steroids by Boris and co post brexit. But none of the electorate, either those for, or against brexit, were given any choice in this economic matter whatsoever.
It only strains services if the government doesn't do it's job and use the increased economic activity to expand public services and public housing. Immigration isn't the problem. Poor governance is. And that poor governance didn't come from the EU it came from Westminster
I couldn't agree more with this comment. I'm sick of hearing about Brexit not least because everyone who is a "remoaner" only treats it as an economic issue. As you said, treating everything based on economic value has made us what we are today.
@@julianshepherd2038 I’ve no time for your tribalism. I’ve never voted for the Tory party in my life. I voted based on governance, or lack of from the EU. Can you tell me who your EU MEP was, and the policy positions they held? Turnout for EU elections was dreadful, and parties like UKIP had taken over. The EU project failed in so many ways, people wrote many books on the matter.
They are happy they won the vote , i presume. I dont know if they care about the debate. i will ask them when i see them, and let you know.🤣🤣🤣its the votes that count👍
It always amuses me that anyone would willingly give up the privilege of living and working in nearly 30 different countries without ever needing to apply for a visa - retire in Spain, Malta, Cyprus? You name it. People pay millions for this privilege, yet with a British passport, you can hardly move anywhere. So, it’s time to accept the ever-increasing taxes and cost of living, there is no other choice
That's easy. Because only 5% of UK people ever used it. And the other side of it is the huge 5.6M EU people who now have "settled status" who live here. In contrast, only 1.4M UK people live in the EU. So it's a no brainer. We are NOT going go pander to people who want to swan off and "live, love, work" in the EU. Not at that price.
@rebecca_noble well you still have record immigration but this time from outside of Europe plus you can’t live and work in any of the beautiful European countries. Plus obviously Brexit was an economic disaster. So no real benefits.
Brexit Vote followed over half a decade of declining living standards + immigration. Now people are upset following half a decade of decling living standards + immigration. Alot of anger out there still to vote against tje status quo.
It looks like you were wrong, even with all of your fancy data! It is a beautiful Brexit day, and I think we can see that the EU, and not the UK, can enjoy all of the massive tariffs from the USA.
Its pretty clear why skilled workers are leaving - its due to the crazy Woke governments who have wrecked the country. Left the UK fifteen years ago with two suitcases and a secondhand laptop. I was not one of the wealthy fleeing the UK but just realised that if I stayed there then I would always be poor. Through hard work in light-government business friendly environments, have built successful companies in two countries. Got a house in the mountains and one by the beach and my kids went to great universities and are doing well. Last time that I flew back into the UK and walked around London, it was hardly recognizable as Britain any more demographically and also economically.
Something drastic for the UK to ever rejoin the EU has to happen. Organically, it will take 20-30 years before UK attitudes changes. That’s because the older generation who were the majority that supported Brexit, would have died out by then.
I would say we could be back in real soon on the grounds of A) Mass immigration which would inevitably be more pro-EU than the existing population. B) Older generations passing on, younger and new arrivals gaining citizenship. C) Massive Pro-EU indoctrination by the mainstream media which has been relentless and never ceasing since the referendum result was revealed (pretty obvious what they want!) and D) Because our governments clearly wanted to be a part in it and were pushed against their desire by the then voting population. You can tell this by how badly they performed. It was like they were doing the absolute bare minimum throughout. In theory, Labour could make moves as early as this year if he wanted to. He has supermajority, demographs are significantly different now compared to 2016 and thanks to C-19 loads of older generations have already passed on. There's bound to be a "secret agreement" somewhere in Brussels that let's the United Kingdom slip back in. I doubt neither would have allowed the country to leave without one.
@ It is the older generation who lived during the British empire’s heyday that will die out for what’s left of the UK to join the EU. Hopefully, by then, Scotland and Northern Ireland will have left the UK.
Very good video. One thing to say here is that France GDP in 2024 grew 1.1% and UK 1% so at least in terms of 2024 growth the UK is pretty much on-par. Even though UK has much higher interest rates as ECB was able to cut the rate pretty aggressively in 2024. If UK inflation falls then it is possible that BOE can cut more than ECB in 2025-2026 and that could boost UK growth above that of France in coming years but time will tell.
No we don't. Firstly uk out performing g7 euro nations. Secondly if Uk regretted brexit then Lib dems would be pulling reform polling numbers.. Dreadfull video from a woeful youtuber.
"Secondly if Uk regretted brexit then Lib dems would be pulling reform polling numbers" So you recon that an idiot that was sold Brexit has enough nonce to work out that Farage coned them and would vote Lib Dem? Come on! What they actually do is blame "Brexit not being done right". The last thing they can do is admit they were wrong. Can't admit they let their country down.
@ianhamilton3113 yes we do. Uk is out performing Germany etc. In fact the UK pound last year was one of the world's best performing currencies. Out performing thr euro
There are many problems either in or out of the EU. The cost of joining now are probably too high for the UK, - open boarders, single currency, lost positions we had prior to Brexit. Our own political system does not allow us to hand authority to anyone else outside to this country. When you have a vote that the people of the UK say we want to go one way and the political class want to go in the opposite direction then we get stuck going nowhere. But just look at the latest poll where the Reform Party are now in the lead, this must indicate there is a growing move away from either of the established old parties, lets wait and see what the next election gives us.
To be fair, the awkward sod in the EU is now Hungary - but it seems the country is reluctant to leave because of the advantages of being a member. Other EU countries would not shed a tear, however, if Hungary was to depart.
Better that Orban and his ilk depart, surely? The irony is that poll after poll in Hungary indicates that Hungarians want to stay in the EU. One day their bluff may be called.
The average Hungarian shows in each poll that he/she want to stay in EUrope, many would even be happy to get the Euro - only in national elections they re-instate their mad regime. It's weird!
The UK is broke. Spending needs to be cut at least 30%, time limits need to be introduced on claiming welfare. Many thousand of Civil Servant's need sacking. Public staff pensions need to be the same as the rest of us, why should we pay tax for their pensions which are much better than ours. 50% MPs need to be sacked and at least 50% of the House of Lords. All Foreign Aid needs to stop. Then cut taxes for business and encourage real inward investment which will never happen with high taxes. We will then start to get some real growth. The average Brit is over 40% poorer than the average American, the system over the last 30 years has failed, time for big changes...We need more USD and less EU
Public sector workers 99% of the time endure lower pay, worse conditions, shift work, no end of year bonuses, no shares to hold, & decades of little/ no investment in their work environment . In return for enduring years & years of the above they get a slightly better pension - which the Tory press love to spout is ‘gold plated’ - ha! Maybe 40 years ago. I agree with a lot of your sentiments but you really are barking up the wrong tree with that one.
Don’t forget to re open the workhouses. Im sure that David Camerons Big Society was supposed to eliminate the need for the public sector. 41% of Wefare is spent on Pensions, im not sure how you reduce that when your population is getting older.
At the time voters (including me) naively thought that the vote was a chance for some actual change but alas the last 9 years have shown how inept politicians (and increasingly inept - who'd have thought possible) are capable of delivering any real change. Others may have different views...UK still a country of just about free speech...
I really liked the slide at 7:05. The typical argument is that immigrants are free-loaders whose contributions are negative compared to hard-working natives, who create all this wealth. Not only people don't understand that fiscal contributions are not economy contributions, they also completely fail to see that natives are actually doing much worse by their own metric.
I forget how many times I voted for Brexit before we actually got it. I'd vote for it again and again too. Its about that little thing called Sovereignty. As for the current economic mess blame politicians for lockdowns, net zero fantasies and self harming sanctions because of Ukraine.
Rejoin yippee, 5 years later more people think it was a mistake. Guess what the economy is still crap and we are still in trouble. The problem is bigger than Brexit or Rejoin.
Then tear up all agreements with the EU! I dare you! Constantly moaning about "a limited Brexit" and pretending that "enacted fully" this shitshow of yours would look any better is just lame and disingenuous!
@UtubeRwokeLefties Who doesn't allow what? And why would that impress any of you Faragists? The only result of five years of Brexit seem to be feeble and lame excuses. You lot are all talk, no walk.
I voted Leave as the EU morphed into something much more than a simple trading bloc like ASEAN. Regrets only that I can't stay in an EU country for more than 3 months but there's plenty more places in the world to visit.
Excellent video, yet does everyone really regret Brexit? Only, as an individual and as any nation the following facts contradictory to any regret - that is to say, did you know both UK and EU countries' total nominal international trade all higher than since the so-called Brexit 5 years ago!? 🎉❤What's more interesting did you also know, when considering the UK's total exports having recently surpassed $1 trillion, a matter of empirical fact the UK has actually moved from the world's fifth to fourth largest trading nation since the Brexit 5 years ago??!!
You miss the point. Brexit wasn't just about large scale trade. We imposed barriers that were not there before - trade goes on but with a lot more bureaucracy and paperwork. Selling something on eBay to the EU used to be simple - no VAT to send to the EU, but now you have to pay it, so hardly anyone in the EU buys from eBay sellers. Small business has suffered massively. And we've lost the ability to travel easily in and out of the EU, we've lost the Erasmus scheme and we have no influence on the EU any more. The losses hugely outweigh the gains.
@tancreddehauteville764 I don't miss your point , I accept this may be the case for you. However, my point which I think is relevant to note in 2025, the UK and EU 5 whole years after Brexit has resulted in close to record highs for international trade both for the UK and EU!
@@tancreddehauteville764 The IMF said growth will accelerate to 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026. It predicted that the UK will see growth outstrip fellow European economies in Germany, France and Italy over the next two years.
Hang on, who said everyone regrets it? You forget about the creeping European influence which was never asked for for the forty plus years the UK was in Europe! IF we'd have had politicians which had seen Brexit as an opportunity to grow Britian in the four corners of the world, things could have been v v much different. The Politicans we had were not up to snuff, end of.
There was never any plan for Brexit is the problem. That's why I'm surprised anyone voted for it. Without clear evidence trusting our politicians to deliver is pretty naive!
Sure you would, because you put your own self interests before that of your country and your fellow citizens! And if that was not enough, you were duped into believe that yourself interest could be delivered by a bunch of clowns who just like you have only their own self interests in mind. The fact that you have not figured this out after 8 years means all we can do is offer our sympathies and accept that sometimes you just can't fix stupid.
We never left, we need to get out of the ECHR then the rest will follow. This was what we voted for , self determination. Denied by feckless political parties or europhiles.
@@regdude7358 What makes you think Farage will be any different? Especially given his work ethic. And before you say USA trade deal, Trump will already be out of office by then
I don't understand this thing where people in the UK are exhausted by Brexit? It's the future of your country, you should be fighting! Since when did the British become so defeated?!
A large amount of people in the uk are little tyrants who enjoy authoritarian rules They are demoralised and will not resist government overreach, naturally
Don't regret it one bit & why would I? My wages have shot up tenfold meaning the ability to finish the mortgage years earlier than predicted. It gave me the "kick up the arse" to apply for my Irish passport (old man is Irish) - I am now dual national / dual UK/EU passport holder meaning free movement remains. I just wish our government would have done a proper job on Brexit instead of the half hearted attempt they achieved.
The UK's relationship with the EU has been a trainwreck from day one. They acted like a spoiled brat who wanted to be part of the cool kids' club but couldn't stand following the rules once they got in. The government begged to join when they realized they were missing out on the economic party, but they never fully committed to the "European project." Once in, they constantly whined, demanded special treatment, and acted like they were too good for the rest of Europe. They wanted all the benefits without any of the responsibilities. UK politicians used the EU as a convenient scapegoat for decades, blaming Brussels for their own failures and feeding the public a steady diet of bullshit about straight bananas and other nonsense. Meanwhile, the British public evidently couldn't be arsed to actually learn how the EU worked, preferring to believe words on a red bus trundling around the country. They swallowed tabloid lies and politician's bullshit hook, line, and sinker. When things got tough, instead of working to reform the EU from within (where they had significant influence), the government helped by Farage threw a massive tantrum and decided to take their ball and go home. The Brexit campaign was a shitshow of lies fueled by xenophobia and delusions of grandeur, led by opportunists who never thought they'd actually win. Now the UK is out, the press media is still bitching about the EU, acting shocked that actions have consequences, and trying to blame everyone but themselves for the mess they've created. It's like watching a never-ending episode of a really bad reality TV show.
Brexit is definitely Tejvan's blind spot. Essentially it was a political decision NOT an economic one anyway. Irreversibly trading away political sovereignty in return for shiny economic baubles is NOT and never was a long term strategy. A fact which most people fail to understand including him apparently. Even in terms of economics the EU is now in a fine mess of its own and its shrinking relevance in terms of world trade, even as it has more than doubled in size over the decades, is there for all to see. There's no serious appetite to rejoin despite our current longstanding woes - most of which occurred over the decades we were IN the EU although not necessarily because - because most people realize that volunteering to be rechained to an idiot isn't the solution either.
I regret not having voted for Brexit. It's clear that the EU is unfolding, the fact that our governments are incompetent cannot be masked by tying ourselves to an even more decrepit and dysfunctional superstate.
Brexit happened. It is therefore utterly irrelevant whether you voted for it or not. And if you think "it's clear that the EU is unfolding", you may wish to get your brains examined. Happy Brexit Anniversary!
@kurtgodel5236 it's irrelevant but if there's another vote at some point, assuming the EU still exists in some form, I'll vote out. Happy Brexit anniversary!
Many of the EU countries are in as bad, or worse state of political governance than even the U.K. Can anyone honestly remember who there European MEP was, and what they were doing on a weekly basis? We had zero communication from ours; even in the run up to European elections, hardly anyone voted? No, this was not a Democratic project, and people had had enough of governance from afar. They saw the way things had progressed over the decades and made their voices heard. The fact that politicians have gone on to make X,Y and Z decisions without consulting the U.K. public, just shows further, the distain these people have for the citizens of the U.K. It doesn’t prove that brexit was a good or bad decision, in terms of governance.
How many Brits could name their current MP, or where they stand on issues?!?; and it's "their" not "there". I don't want to suggest that Brexiters are all poorly educated people who know less about their own language than the average continental: but time and time again.....(!)
My only regret over Brexit is that the government did not take full advantage of the freedoms made available and just continued with business as normal. I disagree that we were a major player in the EU, France & Gemany run the show and we were widely considered to be holding back them back..
@kurtgodel5236 They could have been much more selective at who immigrated to the UK, selecting higher salary thresholds. Pursued more ambitious trade deals with countries like India & the USA. Reviewed all EU legislation and reduced those onerous to UK businesses. It goes on and on, they did very little.
@VincentRE79 Yes, they could indeed "have been much more selective at who immigrated to the UK". However, this is not any "freedom made available" by Brexit! This is a freedom the UK has had all along, even before Brexit. Freedom of movement was tied to strict conditions and applied to EU citizens only. And as to those trade deals with India and the US, it's entirely up to the US an Indian governments whether they grant you any deals. It is therefore utterly misleading to suggest that such deals would have been forthcoming if only the British side had taken "full advantage of Brexit".
@@kurtgodel5236 Off course they are, under EU freedom of movement there was no "Strict conditions", just being a citizen of a EU member meant you could travel here to live and work. We began talks with the Indian government over a trade deal and an agreement had to be reached on visas to conclude the deal, this was never done. We now have a US President who is friendly to the UK not the EU, a trade deal should be top of the agenda with the world's largest economy. it is not.
@@VincentRE79 "Off course", eh? As to your first claim, search for "free movement of workers directive" and educate yourself. As to your second point, nothing you say contradicts or qualifies what I stated in my previous comment.
Because they want to be with their families. That is the main reason. What would you do to be close to your family if someone had bombed you out of your home? Depends what your relationships are like I guess! Of course brexit made it very tough for many families where one person was in the UK. Still does. Even Farage got a divorce from his German wife - but maybe that was something else.... Also maybe they are stupid. I'd stay in France if they'd have me and not risk my life. But that doesn't mean we don't treat them with compassion. I treat Brexit voters with compassion for the very same reason! They didn't know what they were doing and now we all suffer. I've lost opportunities and my children have lost more and there is nothing to replace any of it.
To get anything in France or anywhere else on the Continent of Europe the thing you need is an Identité card without one you cannot stay as everything is closed to you. I
@puppets.and.muppets No it hasn't. The English Parliament was founded in 1236 by the Plantagenets . Scottish a year earlier. Prior to that they had the Great Council of Peers and Bishops.

@@julianshepherd2038 based on what poll...about as accurate as an election exit poll. I'm pretty sure they thought the 2016 Brexit vote was nailed on stay in the EU. I would think most Brexit voters are dissatisfied with the (lack of) implementation.

Heres an idea you aren't going to like. There is a clue towards the end that is maybe one of the biggest pointers towards why they wanted out. The supply of cheap skilled labour within the EU was running out as they were running out of poor countries to import workers from. Maybe leaving the EU gave them the option of importing cheap workers from outside the EU, an option that they may not have had whilst being part of it.
But Brexit was the final nail of the coffin when trying to recover from the 2008 economic crash. Rejoining (or having a closer relationship with the EU) is going to be beneficial for our economy, then most of those who voted to stay out will have to grow a spine and deal with the consequences they created themselves.
@@punklesam94 Incorrect; look at the GDP graph; no sharp bends due to Brexit. The "nail in the coffin" was the state taking part ownership of the private sector, starting with the banks in 2008 and then with QE private sector bonds. Rejoining EU now would be a disaster and we would be joining Germany into the abyss
@@is_42 It’s certainly the case that the UK has never recovered from the 2008 financial crash, with austerity and chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and training adding to the decline, but Brexit has removed opportunities to improve the situation and not replaced them with any significant alternatives. Whether you were for or against Brexit (I’m in the later camp), it’s undeniable that little to no planning went into mitigating for the consequences of leaving.
I had moved to West Midlands 15 years ago and I lived there till Covid. Making return to EU, my wife and I found it in much worse conditions than 10 years earlier when we left. France, Italy, Germany, it’s all the same EU is going downhill faster than Eddie the Eagle, all EU friends with a past in the UK agree with us. We are aware that people of UK is experiencing some troubles nevertheless we all miss our time there and we’re also sure that it’s a temporary condition until you’ll be able to find your new place in the world. Nevertheless, twice a year I’m pleased to pay a visit to my British friends for a few pints, good curries and laughs 😊
Dude, EU is going down so fast that ITALY now got ALMOST the same GDP PPP per capita like the UK. Last time that was the case, we were in the mid 90s! EU as a WHOLE now got HIGHER GDP PPP per capita than the UK. It was NEVER EVER the case before! Happened for the FIRST TIME EVER in 2024! EU got 62 660 dollars of the GDP PPP per capita, UK got 62 574 dollars, but EU got 450 million people while UK only got 67 million people. It's an IMMENSE achievement of the EU's economy! France now got for a GOOD MEASURE HIGHER GDP PPP per capita than UK! And Germany got waaaaay higher GDP PPP per capita than UK. Monthly gross average salary in Germany is 4924 euros. In UK it's around 3300 euros! 😂 In France it's around 3800 euros. The industrial power an productivity of Germany and France are putting the UK to SHAME! 😅😅😅😅 The PPP value of the average monthly net salaries in Spain and Italy, adjusted by the LIVING COSTS is now HIGHER than in the UK, and in Poland it's barely behind the UK! Wake up and smell the coffee. Countries with the HIGHER nominal GDP per capita than UK are : Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Iceland. Twelve European countries! And ALL of them are waaaaaaaaay ahead of the UK in pretty much everything. If your comment was true then there wouldn't be any Labour government in the UK right now, and there wouldn't be no regret. Please refrain from posting dumb comments online, ok? Just stop with such activity, if you are bot, ok?
What happens now....... UK economy continues to flatline for even longer than expected and unhappy brexit voters believe voting Reform will fix it all..... 🤓 Not that I care anymore, just retired on a big pension and living life to the full despite the madness of the world. People really should use their brain a bit more is my advice though, when taking a really big decision.
The start time of decline was in forcing us in gradually losing our country to foreign European influence. We had to leave and it was a shame but inevitable
I don't regret it. I say this as a brit living in the eu. Looking back at the uk with envy. Since it left shyt loads of awful eu laws , restrictions one way or the other have been passed and are written about almost every month here in the papers as a new eu directive or regulation conea into effect

as an EU member Britain was First Among Equals. Now, after it stupidly stopped off it's just a cautionary tale. Educated Britons will continue to seek better lives elsewhere and Britain will fill up with economically unproductive migrants. Great job Britain!
Perhaps the explanation is that New Zealand has been aware that New Zealand is a small insignificant country that has to adapt to the surrounding world when it comes to trade The UK has the opinion that the EU needed the UK more than the UK needed the EU and that the UK could easily enter into free trade agreements on UK terms

In law, we did. But the UK politicians hated to take advantage of it. They are determined to make it fail. But the fact is, we are not going to "rejoin" they EU, so there is nothing they can do about it. We are close to finalising the India FTA. So the anti-brexiters, the negerati, the complianerati, the whinerati, will be beotching about that, next.
Great vid. Easy to get work visas and go on holiday to EU. Just stand in a different line and pay a bit more than before in time and money. And nobody got work visas for EU before compared to people from the EU getting (practically) free visas to work in the UK 😂
Brexit wasn't carried out? Looks like it was to me. We left Europe and all of the problems that is was apparently going to fix are still there. It was the biggest calamity to the UK since WW2.
Exactly, we had 1.5m migration in 2024 alone (plus 0.5m left), this is more than a decade's worth of migration in the 1990s in 1 year. Demographics shifted from 95% White British in London to just 22% in ~30 years. That's really extreme radical shifts that everyone has consistently voted against.

I think two things can happen next: Over time, the older generation that voted for Brexit will pass away. Public opinion has already swung overwhelmingly in favor of the EU, and a new generation of politicians may seize the opportunity to rejoin the EU, perhaps in some form short of full membership. Alternatively, the country may turn towards far-right politics, similar to what we see in Italy, Hungary, and Austria. In this scenario, immigration will be low, along with low taxes and reduced public spending. To survive economically, the government might seek closer ties with a foreign power on the same political spectrum-perhaps Elon Musk's version of the United States. Unless the current government can effectively turn the ship around, the latter scenario seems more likely.
" Public opinion has already swung overwhelmingly in favor of the EU " ... with reform developing a growing lead in the polls the idea that people are desperate to get back into the EU is ... delusional.
Everyone? No, the fact that people think the state of the country is because of Brexit is hilarious. I do believe there is some kind of trade agreement that all the European countries are in whithout actually being in the union, that doesnt sound as bad as being in the dam thing.
That generational comment is absurd,....after all we all get older....INCLUDING THE YOUNG. 30 yr olds become 40 yos; 40 yos become 50 yos....50 to 60 ...60 to 70 ...70 to 80...and just why do we need to be governed by an unaccountable foreign power?
People voted for Brexit to reduce levels of immigrations. Levels of immigration sky rocketed. We had 1.5m people coming in 2024 alone (and 0.5m left, largely British and European, including the largest exodus of millionaires in the world except for China). It's not that everyone regrets Brexit, it's they are angry the key promise of Brexit was ignored.
What promise? The vote was a simple binary remain or leave. Most of the rest was constructed by people who were never in a position to deliver on their promises. You were well and truly 'had'.
Here here, well said sir !
👏👏👏
Not only skyrocketed, it was a total substitution from Europeans to Indias, Pakistanies and Nigerian. More or less close culture to completely different ones.
Millionaires can be replaced, most of them are just dead wood who refused to pay tax anyway. Now if we froze their assets and patents for people who do want to roll their sleeves up, that would be something. Simple fact is, the remaining millionaires want cheap labour, and thats the real reason legal immigration has gone up. "CON"servatives, its in the name and this flavour of right wing labour are no different. Untill people learn that most of our prosperity was built on a centre left foundation (Clemont atley), nothing will change. The far right and centre right have done nothing but sell off the family silver since the 1980's, which is why our taxes are higher than ever and we have less to show for it. We now have to rent everything and pay multiple layers of midlemen for any service.

One thing I keep hearing about disgruntled Brexit voters is how we didn't get a "proper" Brexit.
We have left the EU and the EEA - by far the most important institutions of the EU. So in what way can Brexit be legitimatly described as a "failure" .. ?
We have *not* left the ECHR. But the ECHR is in fact not part of the EU project as it pre dates it by 6 years. Many countries are bound by the ECHR and are not in the EU. One such example used to be Russia.....
Yes we are still bound by EU regulations... and so are farmers in Brazil and Africa. And manufacturers in China and Vietnam. Such is life: the EU is a very powerful hegemony and just because you are no longer part *of* it doesn't mean you are not *bound by* it.
Reform are pushing for us to leave the ECHR and that is the Missing Ingredient that will Fix Everything.
And once again; having left the ECHR and it causing far more problems than it fixes, they will try and blame something else for Brexit "not working"....
... eventually there will be *nothing left to blame.*
That’s a very eloquent summary.
Uk is only need to follow eu rules if it trade with the eu. However that’s not the case as the gov include eu rules into most of the uk government bureaucracy. Not to mention the uk have not gotten a trade deal with America or other countries plus it continue to import beggars

I contract for a large multi national company in the UK. They don't have room for me in their offices in so I have to work from home. My girlfriend lives in Spain so I asked whether I could login from 'home' in Spain. The answer was no. Just because of Brexit.
I have also been offered contacts abroad where I could work from home but I would officially be based abroad. Again because of Brexit I cant. Why? This is just stupid. Britain exported so many services over centuries and now we are not even allowed to travel for work? Genius!
Because you voted against your own freedom of movement 😊
Because you'll be paid by a British-based company office in GBP, but you'll end up spending a large part of that money in Spain. In other words, you'll boost the Spanish economy at the expense of the UK economy.

As a European I am neither for or against Brexit. That's up to the citizens of the country entirely, and I can understand both views. I am also not very pro E.U. either. That said, I make one observation regarding Britain's economic circumstance post Brexit. While many might point out that the other major E.U. economies are not exactly growing so well either. That is somewhat true. However, the main difference, I would say, is that Britain has gone Much further into Debt vs. these other E.U. countries, with a slight exception of France. The Govt. has had to Spend much more into debt, with little to no economic results for having done so, compared to E.U. countries. This is the main result, which then states it has been much more Costly to the U.K. than E.U. counterparts. Debt matters, especially to Britain, which while being outside the E.U. is paying Much higher interest rates on it's Debt, than any of the major countries of Europe and even most all of the non majors as well. So this seems to be the ongoing cost.
Our biggest level of expenditure is the rising cost of the NHS, this is causing our expenditure to rocket and National Debt to grow. Leaving the EU is nothing compared to rgrowing expenditure on the NHS.
The debt in the UK is high because the rich have not been taxed sufficiently. Labour taxes the middle class and the poorer people but leaves the rich alone.
You mean the UK.
The UK spent a lot putting the population on furlough for about two years. And some (including Starmer) wanted to continue it.
And keep schools shut. And keep GP's shut. And keep lots of businesses shut. Through ridiculous overreaction to a virus that was bound to weaken.
Meanwhile. the Chinese stock market automatically shut down twice in a row in about as many weeks. THAT had more impact than BREXIT did. And the shipping logjam. And worldwide transport (lorry) shortage. AND world fuel prices. ... AND Putin's agression. So many economic headwinds. ...
Debt piled up after 1997 and Blair opened the borders and expanded the state, welfare dependency.....millions now idle sponging off the state.
I've stopped commenting on Brexit but this is the most clear-eyed and balanced look back I have heard. Well done!
“Fears of a recession were overblown”… maybe that’s what the stats say but the ordinary citizen is definitely experiencing a significant recession.
That could be the difference between the GDP overall and the GDP per person. The UK population is growing so fast that somehow the total GDP still may grow a bit, while for the single person it goes down.

I dont regret Brexit. I regret having the politicians who managed it.
For many who voted, it wasn’t an economic argument, but a question of governance.
Plenty of people are happy with the vote they cast, but not the decisions that have been made by politicians subsequently.
If you base your decisions purely on economic arguments and GDP figures etc, you end up with a country like the U.K. has become today.
Unlimited migration will increase GDP, but will strain services, and this experiment was put on steroids by Boris and co post brexit. But none of the electorate, either those for, or against brexit, were given any choice in this economic matter whatsoever.
It only strains services if the government doesn't do it's job and use the increased economic activity to expand public services and public housing. Immigration isn't the problem. Poor governance is. And that poor governance didn't come from the EU it came from Westminster
You had Brexit PMs.
They could not give you the Brexit you want because of reality.
Now your lot want Trump to rule us.
I couldn't agree more with this comment. I'm sick of hearing about Brexit not least because everyone who is a "remoaner" only treats it as an economic issue. As you said, treating everything based on economic value has made us what we are today.

It always amuses me that anyone would willingly give up the privilege of living and working in nearly 30 different countries without ever needing to apply for a visa - retire in Spain, Malta, Cyprus? You name it. People pay millions for this privilege, yet with a British passport, you can hardly move anywhere. So, it’s time to accept the ever-increasing taxes and cost of living, there is no other choice
Bingo!
That's easy.
Because only 5% of UK people ever used it. And the other side of it is the huge 5.6M EU people who now have "settled status" who live here. In contrast, only 1.4M UK people live in the EU.
So it's a no brainer. We are NOT going go pander to people who want to swan off and "live, love, work" in the EU. Not at that price.

Its pretty clear why skilled workers are leaving - its due to the crazy Woke governments who have wrecked the country. Left the UK fifteen years ago with two suitcases and a secondhand laptop.

Through hard work in light-government business friendly environments, have built successful companies in two countries. Got a house in the mountains and one by the beach and my kids went to great universities and are doing well.
Last time that I flew back into the UK and walked around London, it was hardly recognizable as Britain any more demographically and also economically.
Brexit won't get reversed for decades. If you're an ambitious young person wanting to return to the EU, you'll need to move there and naturalise.
You'll notice that almost none of those who said that they'd leave have actually gone.

Something drastic for the UK to ever rejoin the EU has to happen. Organically, it will take 20-30 years before UK attitudes changes. That’s because the older generation who were the majority that supported Brexit, would have died out by then.
I would say we could be back in real soon on the grounds of A) Mass immigration which would inevitably be more pro-EU than the existing population. B) Older generations passing on, younger and new arrivals gaining citizenship. C) Massive Pro-EU indoctrination by the mainstream media which has been relentless and never ceasing since the referendum result was revealed (pretty obvious what they want!) and D) Because our governments clearly wanted to be a part in it and were pushed against their desire by the then voting population. You can tell this by how badly they performed. It was like they were doing the absolute bare minimum throughout.
In theory, Labour could make moves as early as this year if he wanted to. He has supermajority, demographs are significantly different now compared to 2016 and thanks to C-19 loads of older generations have already passed on. There's bound to be a "secret agreement" somewhere in Brussels that let's the United Kingdom slip back in. I doubt neither would have allowed the country to leave without one.
But then millions of young become older who will then be much more mature and dubious about foreign rule.
@ It is the older generation who lived during the British empire’s heyday that will die out for what’s left of the UK to join the EU. Hopefully, by then, Scotland and Northern Ireland will have left the UK.
Very good video. One thing to say here is that France GDP in 2024 grew 1.1% and UK 1% so at least in terms of 2024 growth the UK is pretty much on-par. Even though UK has much higher interest rates as ECB was able to cut the rate pretty aggressively in 2024. If UK inflation falls then it is possible that BOE can cut more than ECB in 2025-2026 and that could boost UK growth above that of France in coming years but time will tell.

There are many problems either in or out of the EU. The cost of joining now are probably too high for the UK, - open boarders, single currency, lost positions we had prior to Brexit. Our own political system does not allow us to hand authority to anyone else outside to this country. When you have a vote that the people of the UK say we want to go one way and the political class want to go in the opposite direction then we get stuck going nowhere. But just look at the latest poll where the Reform Party are now in the lead, this must indicate there is a growing move away from either of the established old parties, lets wait and see what the next election gives us.
To be fair, the awkward sod in the EU is now Hungary - but it seems the country is reluctant to leave because of the advantages of being a member. Other EU countries would not shed a tear, however, if Hungary was to depart.
Better that Orban and his ilk depart, surely? The irony is that poll after poll in Hungary indicates that Hungarians want to stay in the EU. One day their bluff may be called.
The average Hungarian shows in each poll that he/she want to stay in EUrope, many would even be happy to get the Euro - only in national elections they re-instate their mad regime. It's weird!

Public staff pensions need to be the same as the rest of us, why should we pay tax for their pensions which are much better than ours. 50% MPs need to be sacked and at least 50% of the House of Lords. All Foreign Aid needs to stop. Then cut taxes for business and encourage real inward investment which will never happen with high taxes. We will then start to get some real growth.

I really liked the slide at 7:05. The typical argument is that immigrants are free-loaders whose contributions are negative compared to hard-working natives, who create all this wealth. Not only people don't understand that fiscal contributions are not economy contributions, they also completely fail to see that natives are actually doing much worse by their own metric.
I forget how many times I voted for Brexit before we actually got it. I'd vote for it again and again too. Its about that little thing called Sovereignty. As for the current economic mess blame politicians for lockdowns, net zero fantasies and self harming sanctions because of Ukraine.

You miss the point. Brexit wasn't just about large scale trade. We imposed barriers that were not there before - trade goes on but with a lot more bureaucracy and paperwork. Selling something on eBay to the EU used to be simple - no VAT to send to the EU, but now you have to pay it, so hardly anyone in the EU buys from eBay sellers. Small business has suffered massively. And we've lost the ability to travel easily in and out of the EU, we've lost the Erasmus scheme and we have no influence on the EU any more. The losses hugely outweigh the gains.

We never left, we need to get out of the ECHR then the rest will follow. This was what we voted for , self determination. Denied by feckless political parties or europhiles.
No Brexit terms were ever promised, stop trying to revise history

Don't regret it one bit & why would I?
My wages have shot up tenfold meaning the ability to finish the mortgage years earlier than predicted.
It gave me the "kick up the arse" to apply for my Irish passport (old man is Irish) - I am now dual national / dual UK/EU passport holder meaning free movement remains.
I just wish our government would have done a proper job on Brexit instead of the half hearted attempt they achieved.
very cool
The UK's relationship with the EU has been a trainwreck from day one.
They acted like a spoiled brat who wanted to be part of the cool kids' club but couldn't stand following the rules once they got in.
The government begged to join when they realized they were missing out on the economic party, but they never fully committed to the "European project."
Once in, they constantly whined, demanded special treatment, and acted like they were too good for the rest of Europe. They wanted all the benefits without any of the responsibilities.
UK politicians used the EU as a convenient scapegoat for decades, blaming Brussels for their own failures and feeding the public a steady diet of bullshit about straight bananas and other nonsense.
Meanwhile, the British public evidently couldn't be arsed to actually learn how the EU worked, preferring to believe words on a red bus trundling around the country.
They swallowed tabloid lies and politician's bullshit hook, line, and sinker.
When things got tough, instead of working to reform the EU from within (where they had significant influence), the government helped by Farage threw a massive tantrum and decided to take their ball and go home.
The Brexit campaign was a shitshow of lies fueled by xenophobia and delusions of grandeur, led by opportunists who never thought they'd actually win.
Now the UK is out, the press media is still bitching about the EU, acting shocked that actions have consequences, and trying to blame everyone but themselves for the mess they've created.
It's like watching a never-ending episode of a really bad reality TV show.
Brexit is definitely Tejvan's blind spot.
Essentially it was a political decision NOT an economic one anyway.
Irreversibly trading away political sovereignty in return for shiny economic baubles is NOT and never was a long term strategy.
A fact which most people fail to understand including him apparently.
Even in terms of economics the EU is now in a fine mess of its own and its shrinking relevance in terms of world trade, even as it has more than doubled in size over the decades, is there for all to see.
There's no serious appetite to rejoin despite our current longstanding woes - most of which occurred over the decades we were IN the EU although not necessarily because - because most people realize that volunteering to be rechained to an idiot isn't the solution either.
Looking forward to the next 5 years as brexit keeps giving😂😂😂😂
Brexit means brexit.
Completely agree and I hope the EU has the same position if the UK were to apply to rejoin the EU.
@larskaminskidk I was being sarcastic. Dont be salty. 😂😂
I was expecting a plethora of anti Brexit but glad to see Brexiteers are still in the up.

I regret not having voted for Brexit. It's clear that the EU is unfolding, the fact that our governments are incompetent cannot be masked by tying ourselves to an even more decrepit and dysfunctional superstate.
The EU is far from unfolding. The only decrepit and dysfunctional state is the British one.
You actually hate immigrants more than your poverty 😂😂😂😂. You were poor before and after brexit
Brexit happened. It is therefore utterly irrelevant whether you voted for it or not.
And if you think "it's clear that the EU is unfolding", you may wish to get your brains examined.
Happy Brexit Anniversary!
@kurtgodel5236 it's irrelevant but if there's another vote at some point, assuming the EU still exists in some form, I'll vote out.

List of Brexit benefits……………. Tumbleweeds. Lots of them
Only because the governments have not followed through - They've tried to have their cake and eat it.
Many of the EU countries are in as bad, or worse state of political governance than even the U.K.
Can anyone honestly remember who there European MEP was, and what they were doing on a weekly basis?
We had zero communication from ours; even in the run up to European elections, hardly anyone voted?
No, this was not a Democratic project, and people had had enough of governance from afar. They saw the way things had progressed over the decades and made their voices heard.
The fact that politicians have gone on to make X,Y and Z decisions without consulting the U.K. public, just shows further, the distain these people have for the citizens of the U.K. It doesn’t prove that brexit was a good or bad decision, in terms of governance.
How many Brits could name their current MP, or where they stand on issues?!?; and it's "their" not "there". I don't want to suggest that Brexiters are all poorly educated people who know less about their own language than the average continental: but time and time again.....(!)

My only regret over Brexit is that the government did not take full advantage of the freedoms made available and just continued with business as normal. I disagree that we were a major player in the EU, France & Gemany run the show and we were widely considered to be holding back them back..
"The government did not take full advantage of the freedoms made available"? What's that even supposed to mean? Kindly explain.
@kurtgodel5236 They could have been much more selective at who immigrated to the UK, selecting higher salary thresholds. Pursued more ambitious trade deals with countries like India & the USA. Reviewed all EU legislation and reduced those onerous to UK businesses. It goes on and on, they did very little.
@VincentRE79 Yes, they could indeed "have been much more selective at who immigrated to the UK". However, this is not any "freedom made available" by Brexit! This is a freedom the UK has had all along, even before Brexit. Freedom of movement was tied to strict conditions and applied to EU citizens only.
And as to those trade deals with India and the US, it's entirely up to the US an Indian governments whether they grant you any deals. It is therefore utterly misleading to suggest that such deals would have been forthcoming if only the British side had taken "full advantage of Brexit".
@@kurtgodel5236 Off course they are, under EU freedom of movement there was no "Strict conditions", just being a citizen of a EU member meant you could travel here to live and work. We began talks with the Indian government over a trade deal and an agreement had to be reached on visas to conclude the deal, this was never done. We now have a US President who is friendly to the UK not the EU, a trade deal should be top of the agenda with the world's largest economy. it is not.
@@VincentRE79 "Off course", eh?
As to your first claim, search for "free movement of workers directive" and educate yourself.
As to your second point, nothing you say contradicts or qualifies what I stated in my previous comment.
If the EU is so great then why do asylum seekers risk their lives to cross the channel from France rather than seek asylum there?
Because they learn English at school, not French!
Because they want to be with their families. That is the main reason. What would you do to be close to your family if someone had bombed you out of your home? Depends what your relationships are like I guess! Of course brexit made it very tough for many families where one person was in the UK. Still does. Even Farage got a divorce from his German wife - but maybe that was something else....
Also maybe they are stupid. I'd stay in France if they'd have me and not risk my life. But that doesn't mean we don't treat them with compassion. I treat Brexit voters with compassion for the very same reason! They didn't know what they were doing and now we all suffer. I've lost opportunities and my children have lost more and there is nothing to replace any of it.
soon they reach UK they will back to EU for happy life

Heres an idea you aren't going to like. There is a clue towards the end that is maybe one of the biggest pointers towards why they wanted out. The supply of cheap skilled labour within the EU was running out as they were running out of poor countries to import workers from. Maybe leaving the EU gave them the option of importing cheap workers from outside the EU, an option that they may not have had whilst being part of it.
There hasnt been a Brexit!
What planet are you living in?
The UK economy was already bad after 2008; nothing to do with Brexit. Most growth after that was in public sector and is still the case to this date
But Brexit was the final nail of the coffin when trying to recover from the 2008 economic crash. Rejoining (or having a closer relationship with the EU) is going to be beneficial for our economy, then most of those who voted to stay out will have to grow a spine and deal with the consequences they created themselves.
@@punklesam94 Incorrect; look at the GDP graph; no sharp bends due to Brexit. The "nail in the coffin" was the state taking part ownership of the private sector, starting with the banks in 2008 and then with QE private sector bonds. Rejoining EU now would be a disaster and we would be joining Germany into the abyss
@@is_42 It’s certainly the case that the UK has never recovered from the 2008 financial crash, with austerity and chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and training adding to the decline, but Brexit has removed opportunities to improve the situation and not replaced them with any significant alternatives. Whether you were for or against Brexit (I’m in the later camp), it’s undeniable that little to no planning went into mitigating for the consequences of leaving.

I think two things can happen next:
Over time, the older generation that voted for Brexit will pass away. Public opinion has already swung overwhelmingly in favor of the EU, and a new generation of politicians may seize the opportunity to rejoin the EU, perhaps in some form short of full membership.
Alternatively, the country may turn towards far-right politics, similar to what we see in Italy, Hungary, and Austria. In this scenario, immigration will be low, along with low taxes and reduced public spending. To survive economically, the government might seek closer ties with a foreign power on the same political spectrum-perhaps Elon Musk's version of the United States.
Unless the current government can effectively turn the ship around, the latter scenario seems more likely.
