'Brexit Hasn't Worked For The UK' Says Professor of Economics

- Опубликовано: 24 май 2024
- Brexit “hasn’t worked” for the United Kingdom, says University of Sydney Industry Professor and Chief Economist Tim Harcourt.
Mr Harcourt noted it’s “very rare” for a country to cut itself off from its trading partners.
“This idea they were going to go back to the great British Empire of starting trade deals all over the world - that really hasn’t happened,” he told Sky News Australia.

... and very smelly!
But you can measure them in pints. Be positive!
@@mikaluostarinen4858yep measuring crap in pints makes it a lot better. 😂😂😂
We could have had blue passports without leaving the EU, that said my new UK passport looks Black, not blue, so they didn't even get that right.

That’s what I was wondering. Murdock has been really focused on conservative rule through mouthpieces like Sky and Fox.
Rupert murdock maybe one thing but he’s not thick. He knows that even with a disaster like Brexit there’s money to be made.
Murdoch benefited from Brexit, but his TV channels don’t defend it… because they don’t need to, it's a done deed, they can relax and laugh now.
Now even them impudent colonials are laffin' at the British ...
If you voted tory you deserve what you get.
Too bad that those who didn't, got shafted too.

@@user-cn2uh1jy4e As terrible as he may have been, he probably would have been better because he wouldn’t have been dancing to the tune of the very wealthy and likely wouldn’t have been having parties while people were dying. Regardless, Corbyn isn’t running for a Labour seat or to be PM.
If Brexit has worked then why are there 9 countries waiting to join the EU.
Because that are poor. Rich countries are not joining.

The fact no right wing press mention Brexit, nor the BBC and nor the headbangers who trumpeted it and the fact so many Tory MPs who championed it are now standing down tells you all you need to know about how successful Brexit has been. They still sing “two world wars and one World Cup” despite it been nearly 60 years since England beat Germany in the World Cup but they won’t discuss Brexit.
And as an Australian, living in UK as I’m a dualie, I can tell you that not many people are actually laughing at the U.K or Brexit in Australia and NZ. Sure the farmers are thrilled they can sell more but they’re more in a state of disbelief about how good the deal is for them rather than ridiculing. We have a friendly rivalry and banter but we also want a strong, stable and viable UK and US. Brexit and Trump both play in to the hands of Putin and Xi. Johnson, Farage and Gove are Putins useful idiots.
Nah lots of us laugh at England. How long have you been away for 😂
Nobody really cares about what Australia and NZ laugh at.
Well as an Australian that actually lives in Australia I have to say you have been infected by what the Brits are suffering from and that is not living in the real world. AUS is looking to secure a trade deal with the EU.There is a market with close to 400 million consumers and flogging stuff to so many beats selling a bit of beef to 66 million Brits. If AUS farmers can't make a living sitting next to an Asian market of several billions of customers then there is something wrong with their products or their way of promoting their stuff.
What could AUS possible learn from present day Britain? One thing for sure and that is not to vote idiots into power and that for three terms of 5 years in succession.
"Stable and viable UK and US?" Two attributes that are absent in the UK. In the US one looks at the prospect of one candidate that acts like an escapee from a lunatic asylum whilst the other one has close to both feet in the grave. With "friends" like that who needs enemies?
Been living out of the UK for 16 years, it's hard to grasp how much damage the Tories have done to the UK in that time. I'm a very centralist voter but the way Spain has moved forward in that time compared to the UK is frightening. It's got its own political shit show but the economy and standard of living just moving forward in a way the UK just isn't.
@@user-tl1fh3ro6r I noticed the same when I returned to the UK in 2010 after living abroad for 7 years. I'd made short visits back, but it was only when I was really here again that it hit me.
The opposition parties never do their job properly because they are all working to the same agenda.
What people are saying about the Tories now is the same as we said about Labour after their 3 terms in office. What we need is for people to be held PERSONALLY accountable. Not gonna happen, is it?
Labour, if it gets back, will be the same as the Tories. You read it here first. Oh, and don't bother with the LibDems: more of the same.
Hi I'm an Aussie. I don't believe that most Australians are sniggering at Britain. Britain and the US are our strongest Allies and cultural influences, here in aus when the Brexit referendum results was announced there was disbelief, shock and pity, just as there was when the US elected Donald Trump. Since those two events it has been like watching a close friend decend into self destructive addiction, there's nothing to do but hope our friends rid themselves of there demons.
PS if you could stop sending Nigel Farrage down here to spit his venom, it would be much appreciated
Here, here on all your points 👍🏻

Next……
Even if the EU let's the UK back (personally I won't be holding my breath) it won't be with the deals that the UK had before. It'll be the same as everyone else has.
And we'll have lost all the institutions, businesses & banking that have moved to EU since Brexit - never to return
And the Euro and Schengen, we will take it or leave it.
Not sure the Great British public are quite ready for this little truth
;-)
"let them back" ? that will never happen, they can however apply for membership and go through the process just like everyone else, at the moment they are decades away
Most people in the UK are not very interested in trying to join the EU again. This is a Remainer channel and you find what you expect to see on it.
@@Purple_flower09 This is a remainer channel hahahahaha, oh you brexitdummies crack me up
i'm an Aussie and i'm not laughing.
Britain is our cousin and we want her to be successful,except in the Ashes of course.

Was going down the tubes way before next. Factory's moving to main land Europe to avoid the channel crossing costs and problems. Plus we have our own currency. Incompatible. Now we have mass uncontrolled illegal immigrants putting in creating further problems. No jobs or housing for them. Hotels taken over for immigrants. Our own locals living in caravans. We have 1000 caravans near Bristol. UK homeless have had to buy a caravan . It's all illegal, but unmanageable. Also other area by Manchester with similar situation where British homeless forced into a caravan to survive. Immigrants are better off. They get priority.
I completely agree with Liz Webster and the Australians here.
SKY news in Australia is like Newsmax in the US. It's so far right it is funny.
who cares? the Australians got independence from us, we got it from Europe, what's the difference?

The problem is that it's not possible to just "get rid of Brexit". Even if everyone in the UK wanted to overturn it, the EU would have to agree to let the UK back in. That'll take extensive negotiations and major changes to UK society.
@denton…: absolutely right. The EU is not doing to badly since the UK left in spite of dangerous international turmoils on the continent and elsewhere.
Exactly! The EU is not a club where you can just decide you want to rejoin, pay your sub and you're in. There is no such thing as 'rejoining the EU', we would have to apply for membership the same as any other country and we would be treated as though our 47 years of membership never existed. In addition, there are now 27 countries in the EU and if only one says no then we would be refused membership.
And you go back it will be on a lesser deal than you had before
There would have to be a join referendum and frankly, the idea that what's left of the 'UK pro-EU political force' could even get a referendum let alone win it - is for the birds... There are ten strong reasons to persuade the UK people not to give up UK independence and honestly, I cannot think of anything the join side could put on the side of its bus.
We MIGHT consider rejoining once
the EU has gone back to being a Free Trade Area...and NOT a protectionist economic cartel with a farce of a parliament and zero
Democracy.? Until then..No thanks..😂
The aussies couldn't contain themselves! The empire dissolved 70 years ago!! That's brexit reality!! Keep at it LIz!
So, it is good for Australia to leave the Westminster-run Empire but not OK for the UK to leave the Brussels-run Empire?
UK became a member of CPTPP. Which is extraordinary.
Rubbish. Aussies think it was a huge mistake, but no one except the idiots on Murdoch, media that seem to find some glee in other people's misery.

The Empire ended 82 years ago when Britain turned on Australia.
Here in Taiwan we are also laughing. A few weeks ago I was at a reception at the British Office Taipei (embassy). The attaché for UK/Taiwan trade in Taipei when we were just standing around talking said something funny. he said that any trade deal made won't benefit the UK, because Taiwan investors are more interested in the EU and if they set up in the UK there is so much red tape to having deal with Europe, they say they would rather set up in the Netherlands, Germany, France or anywhere else in the EU and just ignore the UK.
This is what happened with TSMC. 80% of the microchips in the world come from TSMC and they have opened a few production factories to produce chips outside Taiwan. The US, India, Vietnam and the EU. They dropped the UK like a hot potato.

Londoners are the cleverest people in the world, according to the Oxford Economics’ Global Cities Index. London is second to none in human capital in over 1,000 cities, proving yet again the UK’s global standing post-Brexit. Europhiles aren’t feeling so clever now that there’s not the brain drain that was predicted….
London’s unmatched talent pool keeps global giants flocking to London, rocketing the city to 7th place in the economics category - the only cities ahead all being in the US. Over all five categories measured, Economics, Human Capital, Quality of Life, Environment, and Governance, London came second place in the world, with New York topping the list. The report noted:
“Fears that Brexit would lead to a decline of the city as a global financial centre have not been realised. And we expect London to continue to attract migrants from all over the world to access its world-class institutions and range of job opportunities.”
London brains supreme…

They were all wrong about Brexit.
Thank you for your relentless attempt to make Britons see the truth about Brexit. :-) Each time I wonder WTF the UK is so delusional about the harm they inflicted upon themselves I have to tell myself that most of the UK Population doesn't speak any foreign language let alone read foreign newspapers (while 90% of their own national media is bullshitting them). 2:45 So letting them in on what their former english-speaking colonies think of Brexit and its lasting impact seems to be the only way to reach out.
The lack of language skills is just one of the many unfortunate leftovers from the Empire: too arrogant to see other nation's views they are left with the biased Murdoch press to built their opinion.
I feel deeply sorry for you and all the other reasonable Britons who voted remain. It breaks my heart seeing you as hostages of a crazy cult, even now, eight years after the referendum.
Leaving the EU restored Parliamentary Sovereignty, the most important part of the UK constitution. No longer must Parliament merely implement EU law determined by QMV. It's a personal choice whether this matters to you and I respect your choice.
"Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK which can create or end any law. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution."
@@ianseward2617There is no written constitution in England. Ignorance personified. Even I know this and I’m from Minnesota.
@@JohnnyinMN
Oh dear.
The UK has a constitution but it has not been codified.
You may need to look up the meaning of codified.
@@ianseward2617 you need to do some research concerning sovereignty. And what the EU actually is.
@@terrybailey4201 Please read the definition of Parliamentary Sovereignty I provided, which was taken from Gov. UK website.
It’s a shame. We could join the single market and customs union? Britain has the best deal in the EU and as for being “rule takers” we were actually making some of the rules that make it so complicated to now trade as a 3rd party country. James O’Brien was right in 2016 proved smack on today. I live in the USA now and you don’t want their cheap meat!!
No the UK cannot join the SM / CU.
You make it seem as not being in Schengen is somehow better than being in Schengen. Typical deluded English "thinking", not recognising the great achievements of the EU.

The Murdoch-owned media in Australia paints a very different picture than the Murdoch-owned media in the UK. They can't both be right, can they?
The whole Brexit referendum was to avoid a split in the Conservative Party. So 8 years on, we’ve had a referendum and the Tories are still split.
If you think that is bad, you shouldn't watch german television
Honestly, we made a bit of dunce of them-but after Merkel was shown as Hitlers little sister, they deserve a bit of a comeback?
Maybe we should make the discussion of the Wembley goal a precondition? As was shown by experts it wasn't there at all..
haha, I have done so and it is amusing indeed to see the fun made of the UK and Johnson at the time. It helps of course if one can speak German though.
I don't think Australia are alone when it comes to countries laughing at the uk as a result of us leaving the EU.
Speaks volumes when a Murdoch channel laughs at the UK for going through Brexit, a policy that THEY pushed for in the first place...
# save British farming ? I seem to remember farmers supporting Brexit. In common with fishermen they thought they were going to make out of it. There’s very little public sympathy for either group.
Not all Aussies are laughing at you. I for one, who lived in the UK for a year (and loved it), was just appalled and saddened by the vote. We need a strong UK and it was stronger as a part of the EU!
As a German, it seems to me that the Uk that left unshackled us from the US poodle and Russian snith that blocked EU undertaking like a U army.
Naybe the Uk was stronger in the EU, but it seems the EU is tronger without the UK. Makes you think long and hard if one should let them back in-Answer is no. They need to offer a lot for that!
Cheers mate!
Remember the new coal mine in England is owned by Australian company.Also the Tories have sold our ports to Canadian companies.. Farming is now ready to be bought by USA agro companies
People forget that in the 1970s, before Britian joined the common market, it was an economical basket case, and now its going that way again because of Brexit
Britain is really going down the tubes. It's tragic.
No. Tragic things are beyond the peoples control. That is a consequence of actions people could have prevented. That is merely stupidity.
Well the British people were never going to accept FAR RIGHT politics were they, something this government never really understood. It will take years to undo all of the damag!
Britain is no angel, nothin tragic abt it. Its only part of karma from their previous misdeeds.
Isn't it the EU to fall apart within days?
Because Brits are lazy
The purpose of Brexit was not to improve trade, it was mainly to reduce immigrants, brexiteers were well aware that it might cause economic problems. It was a price they were willing to pay, until it came to pay it..
Of course we need immigrants and that was never going to happen, in fact we have brought in more legal immigrants than ever thanks to new policies. The Small boats problem is not particularly relevant.
The solution to immigration is control and choice by creating legal routes in other countries, and then proper integration to keep out toxic culture that the immigrants are trying to get away from.
This exactly!
Brexit worked wonders for the rest of the EU. I would vote NO to have Britain back.
You don't have to go that far to know the whole show in Britain, here in the EU is becoming a joke
Actually (I travel back and forth between the UK and the continent) most countries (not having colonial resentment) are really saddened. A lot of people have friends and family in the UK (that is the beauty of free movement of people: we got to mingle and know each other) and they are truly dismayed by what's going on.

Call them out Liz.
As a EU citizen the denial to see the facts is really astonishing. For me as a farmer and classic car enthusiast Brexit made it impossible to buy equipment or parts from th UK, It is just not worth the trouble. Have tried it twice.
It's worth remembering that one of the very few British economists who supported Brexit was Professor Patrick Minford - the same man who recommended the disastrous Community Charge ('poll tax') to Margaret Thatcher. Minford openly admitted that Brexit would inevitably result in the 'elimination' of UK agriculture and manufacturing - a price well worth paying, in his view. Unsurprisingly, Minford was seldom wheeled out to support the Leave campaign.
Spot on. Minford is a five star loony.
apparently Miniford was always miffed he had not inventedleaded petrol,
He was arguably the ONLY economist to support it, probably earning good income for having done so. Despicable.

It is kinda funny. The joke in Australia when any Brit complains is "you could of had your cake and eat it, but you wanted Brexit instead"
We in Australia were called it stupid before it even happened 😂
Brit here, your all right of course, we are in a serious bloody mess. Uk biggest problem is Westminster and the idiots that "work" there. The very real problem is of course is that we are not democratic. We have a system which is rigged by first past the post voting and so we end with either tweedledee or tweedledum. The decline of the UK has been constant over the decades since the war. Without a real national plan, we have lived through recession after recession with our political parties away with the fairies.

What do you mean “get rid of brexit”? That’s not something Britain can decide …
Sad thing is that the real reason for brexit isn’t talked about; the tax benefits and tax-routes for the ultra rich in GB were threatened by the EU tax policies for fair taxation. Good luck dear GB-friends with those powerfull selfcentered egoists!
Britain remains a closed society with the media owned by a few immensely rich men. Also i thought our last trade envoy was a cricket guy who had private pictures released?
I really do believe that the reversal of Brexit will come on two, possibly three fronts. Farming (and what you're doing is pivotal), Universities and by association the youth of the UK and finally industry. They have been somewhat lacking since they want certainty but can simply move overseas if the situation isn't to their liking. Small businesses are highlighting the problems but they are a small voice.
At least twenty years in the future. By then the uk won’t economically qualify. Brexit was funded by Russia and done right by Russian agents. Where’s the Russia Report?
And how are you proposing to force us in the EU to allow that against our own interests, pray?
Smart people, business, money, companies moving here that are all paying taxes _inside_ the EU.
Why would we stop that?

why do the British remain so arrogant and still talk about the great British empire, it is an island with a corrupt financial hub (London) and so arrogant to admit that Brexit will go down in history as the biggest mistake they have ever made. Greetings a Dutchman
Because facing reality would destroy their world view? They can not face their misdeeds...they would wipe out all of their ego.
Not "the British". Just one part of it. It's largest member state, the one that bosses the other three member states in the English dictatorship around.
Say's a country who denies the original people rights to the land they had occupied thousands of years before they arrived...hmmmm...!!!
An awful lot of us don't, only 17.4 million actually voted to leave the EU out of approx 48 million electorate, 67 million population. And I'm English
The UK isn't an empire.
The EU IS though.

Why will no one in the political establishment in the United Kingdom admit that Brexit has failed 🤔, tell me, please.
They don't want to admit they got it wrong 🤧.
I think the general consensus in Europe is that Brexit has happened, it's done, it's over, and it's now the UK's problem to deal with. The Europeans are expressing the same attitude the UK would have expressed had it been some other country that quit the EU instead of them. You voted to leave they'd say, so it's now your problem to deal with. The Europeans are telling the British the same thing.
I can confirm we are laughing at you and shaking our heads too🤣
But that's what Australians do anyway. You're just attaching Brexit to your normal behaviour.
You know us brits are a good for a laugh. Happy to oblige.
UK is an island. People are disconnected a bit and tend to make up their own stories quicker like fooling themselves that Aussies are their brothers in arms in this Brexit saga. In Europe nobody is worried about the loss of their own culture even if there are many countries close by and the borders are open. The UK is different though. Open borders scares them and they feel as if an invasion can happen any minute. This typical behavior of an islander I see more and more in Britain. Btw in all countries in the world they think Brexit was a stupid idea. Australia is not an exception. Maybe Trump USA thinks it was a good idea but that is it.
and putin thinks it's good ,
its not only an island, its an island that is surrounded by water.

I live in Australia and I see lots of British media saying what a ClusterFock Brexit is. But its like everything when half the family has gone and done something really stupid its really hard for them to admit it.
Thanks to Australia for cutting through the BS for the truth and nobody's ever going to get away with saying it in the UK!
I remember speaking to a bouncer before Brexit. He literally said. "I'm moving to the Carribbean to watch the impending decline"😢
England needs it's parliament back for itself..time for a federal British Isles . Love from Scotland 🏴
Someone should start the EIP the English Independence Party, I'm Welsh & I'd happily vote for them.
Don't worry, we can now control our own borders! That didn't work either.
At least the Brexit have silenced the supporters of “Denmark leaving EU” after seing how UK is doing.
Denmark : the most boring country

Sadly Britain is fast heading towards bankruptcy.
At least Daisy knows whats good for her.
Countries that use debt monetisation, (the printing of money or money creation) will see their economies eventually fail. That includes America in particular, the UK and those in the euro zone. They are all heading towards a major financial crash.

You are quite astoundingly intellectually dishonest. The British are suffering economic difficulties like the entire continent, but the United Kingdom's ills have little to do with Brexit.

@@gloin10 yes they do many have far higher debt levels including Belgium and France
Yet not one political party is willing to mention the disaster that is BREXSHIT, INCREDIBLE! the only country on Earth to self inflict economic sanctions on itself! a change must be made!
There are two, North Korea is the other one.
It is not within the power of the UK to change, the EU has to say yes and I cannot see that happening.
Our MSM are silent on this! We need to grow balls and beg ( yes beg) to rejoin and they will make us pay !
Great Britain can, again, apply for EU membership, but it will be the same as the other 10 candidate countries, and with the same criteria to meet. That would still seem implausible.
Take London out of the equation and we are a third world country!
I love Sky Australia 🇦🇺 one of the only sources of information about my own flipping country.
because you dont speak German or French, they dont mention the UK and Brexshit...its done for them
its all yours, you may keep it for a few more decades...
let see, wich is the first African country joining the EU...
and i trust in the French, to keep the English out of the EU!
They are bad on immigrant and climate change. Beware Murdock’s press
I believe that if financial services are ignored then the UK is the world's eighth largest exporter out of around 195 countries. That does not sound too bad to me.
But wait, weren't we told that the City of London would all move to France and Germany and there would be no financial centre in the UK. Were the Remainers telling porkies?
That’s because Brits just won’t work. You need London and us foreigners to make all the money how many Brits live in London these days.
I wouldn't take much notice of a right wing Murdoch rag like Sky News Australia if I were you Christine. We don't. We got rid of Murdoch from here and sent him to join his fellow ratbags in America.
Your Professor of Economics is right.
Experrts tend to be, even if the Brexitist think they can do without expertise..and you can see where that led them to....
After emigrating with my parents in 1972, I always wanted to go back to living in England and eventually I did... only to find that life in England is much tougher than it is in Australia and I'd never fit in there. The last time I went back, I was distressed by the environmental decline - it used to rain all the time, but it doesn't any more. I even took a photo of clear blue skies from the middle of London, it was so weird not to see a fuzzy horizon but to see the same thing you see in Australia. There used to be birds always singing in the background if you weren't in the centre of a town, but that time (in September) they were silent - it was a real "Silent Summer", awful. Still lots of beautiful things to see like autumn leaves and lots of museums and history, but not a place to live any more. And I loved having a European passport while it lasted.
Not just brexit. People need to look at foreign news channels to see what's going on in the Uk over recent history. "O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us." - as Burns once wrote.
Great upload
There is more to life than money. We British are an Anglo-Saxon people who want control of our land and our borders. If that costs us a few quid then it's a price we will gladly pay.
Brian
And where did the Angles and Saxon people come from ? And who did they trade with ? please read a little history to understand the European heritage of Britain and how that relationship has been throughout the centuries, good and bad... and look into the reasons for the creation of the EU and how that has benefited all the people of Europe and the major role Britain had in steering it... the only people to see any benefit out of brexit are the tories and their millionaire mates... and let's face it, the present loss of control of borders is actually a by-product of brexit !....
@@ernstjo3888 Fancy a little history eh? OK then. The Angles and Saxons came from what is now called Germany and we had some Viking folks arrive from Scandinavia as well. They all arrived between 1500 and 1000 years ago, depending on exactly who you are talking about. Then the French arrived in 1066. Since then we have had 1000 years of settled culture which suited us very well. English became our common language, the rule of law was established and we settled into a common culture.
Over the last 70 years or so we have had waves of mass immigration. From the Caribbean in the 1950s, from Pakistan in the 1970s then from Eastern Europe over the last 2 decades. A lot of these people have made minimal to zero effort to integrate. We have Yardie gangs in London, Asian grooming gangs in Bradford and other bit of Yorkshire. Crewe (a town near me) is now divided into Polish and Romanian communities who kick the crap out of each other once in a while. In Stoke on Trent (also near me) the Indians and Pakistanis are in the streets with machetes once in a while, about some pathetic argument between them.
The country is slowly turning into a multi-cultural shit pit, with no common purpose or sense of a cohesive society anymore.
The people of Britain looked at the prospect of yet more of this and said, "enough". I just hope we can repair the damage that has been done, and recover some English sense of identity that applies to everyone once again. Sadly, I doubt this will happen because it is "racist". Ah well. For what it's worth we English folks think the EU is a fine thing, but we don't want to see our culture totally demolished. Sounds fair enough to me.
Best regards, Brian
@@user-qm9qm3cq9r So, at least you agree on the shared European heritage... The '1000 years of settled culture' ??? depends which end of the sword you were on ! Ask any Scot, Welsh or Irishman !... the majority of immigration you complain of is actually from commonwealth countries ??? ok for us to go there but not them come here ? and yes we have Polish and Romanians doing the jobs no one British person wants to ! I will ask you 'What is 'English culture' ?', drinking pints ? eating fish and chips ? a bit of Shakespeare or maybe bowing the knee to a king of German and Greek ancestry ? Sounds all very European to me...
@@ernstjo3888 The Scots were busy kicking the crap out of the English when they got the chance. Remember Bonnie Prince Charlie? He got over half-way to London.
The Tudor dynasty marched out of Wales and grabbed the English throne for no legit reason, they just took a gamble. In the end the English came out on top, we were just better at it in the end, that's all.
Personally I don't care where anyone comes from, mass immigration from anywhere is the problem, because it obliterates the local culture.
English culture? Hmm. Maybe mad stuff like girls going to school/University. Maybe national democracy rather than tribal warfare. Or celebrating XMAS rather than Ramadan, Divali? Or fighting the Nazis rather than being pals with them (we had the option and said no). It's difficult to summarise something so big in a few words.
If you have a moment, have a look at this, a picture is worth 1000 words.

Please! Culture? Do some proper study of history, you still thought that after brexit you’ll be treated the same, you don’t like anyone, an english man was screaming in an Spanish airport that the Irish have preferencial treatment, is only an union when it suits the english. Read history you bigot.
Given the generations of contempt and outright hostility Britain has directed at Australia by its enthusiastic support of the trade embargo inflicted on it by Europe, a little snigger in reply is not untoward.
I saw a story from the US, that if the UK was taken on as a 51st state, it would be poorest state in the USA.
On all the sneering about cars, the politician is from the party that shut down Australia’s car industry.
Liz. I agree with all you have said. Keep campaigning🤞
Brexit is SHIT. I know, I'm living it.... thanks to the brexitiers.
That is why it is called brexshit 🎉
Britain was better before we joined. Being part of the bureaucratic dream was tragic. I'm joyous that we left.
@@iansmith2997 You were the sick man of the Europe FFS 🤦🏻♂️ Brexshit vote won only because Snake Cameron excluded millions of voters from the nonbinding referendum. Later we 🇪🇺 learned that your exceptionalism deserves what is to come. You see brexshit is not done yet 💩 🚽 🪠
@@iansmith2997 Yeah that "bureaucratic nightmare" that gave us High standards of food quality and Cut down barriers to free trade, helping our export businesses and Chasing down big corps who don't pay their damn taxes, what a nightmare am i right? Well at least now we can be solely governed by the tories who have ran this country in the ground on their own with austerity, The EU didn't cause your problems, it was our own corrupt government at home
@@iansmith2997 Being part of the largest trading block in the world. What about the bureaucracy we have imposed on importing goods into the UK?
The woman on the video asks: "Why is it we have to watch other countries' TV to get an impression as to what's going on in Britain".
The answer, my dear, is that very rich people who own the newspapers and Media in general, also own and control the British government. And Brits think that they live in a democracy! The answer is as simple as that.
it is always fun to watch the arrogant rich trick the stupid poor.
5:37 What on earth do you mean with "get rid of brexit" here? In words of one syllable:
1) The UK is out of the EU.
2) As a third country, it is free to start proceedings along the lines of Art.49 of the EU constitution to reenter the EU.
3) Alternatively it is free as a third country to start negotiations for a new trade treaty with the EU, however, it would have to give the EU some incentive to enter into such negotiations, such as realignment with the EU legal corpus or the reduction of trade barriers or somesuch concessions. The current trade agreement might not be ideal, but it currently suffices the EU.
4) If the UK started proceedings along the lines of At.49, it would have get in line, currently there are others in the queue.
5) The UK would have to prove its commitment to the EU project in a meaningful way. The current bushwa of "we wuz tricked in 75, we just wanted to join an economic club, and the heinous krauts/ frogs/ {insert bugbear du jour} bamboozled us and we wanna have sovrinty!" won't really fly a second time. It just takes one veto to scupper the project and Charles de Gaulle used it two times because of his wellfounded misgivings.
6) The UK would probably not get the privileges it had the last time.
7) The UK has lost a lot of standing, good will and soft power with its risible tempertantrums during its way out and after that. Forget being at the top table after reentry.
8) Entering the EU will be a long term project, expect 7-10 years, including getting the UK public to agree to getting back in. That would probably have to go via a referendum, a proper one this time, along the lines of how a a mature democracy like Ireland would do it, draft a law which outlines the legal situation and consequences in scrupulous detail and vote on said law.
Those are the UK's options. Getting rid of brexit is none of them.
2:46 "we have to tune in to Australia to learn the truth about brexit".
No you don't.
You can start learning the truth about brexit appr 35km to the east, which is where the EU starts and everyone has been telling you from before the referendum what would happen,, what is happening and what will be happening.
Or even closer to home, comment sections like these.
"Cutting of trade ties with your largest trade partner" that says all you need to know about what economic damage would be done by Brexit. How did the remainers fail to get that message across to the "Great" British public?
I'm American in the US and it's true for us as well: we need the Australian -- Sky News -- to tell us what is going on in the USA.
It was never going to work.
It's working fine.
