Perhaps to placate the man. J.R.M. should have worn a nice smart uniform suit in the German style of the 30's and 40's and do a funny walk for der Dummkopf?
"That is offensive" I will remind the right honourable german that "Costume" is a set of clothes in a style typical of a particular country or historical period.
2:05 - It's offensive to wear a suit at Oktoberfest...well touching Mr Jacob-Rees Mogg's suit is severely offensive. Mogg has excellent self-control which is my favourite British value; keep calm and carry on.
This is your average, everyday German. I've Had Lots of These conversations in the past few years. Especially when it comes to political issues Germans do often get offensive and unpolite. They do feel superior to others. You can sense the desire for German leadership. Not every German, but a rather large portion. Safe to say: the majority.
German people tend to be very straightfoward in terms in linguistics, what might sound offensive to an English speaker would be no problem in German... it's the same for many languages like Swedish, Norweigan etc.
yeah, but jacob wasnt the one who got offended, it was the german. he should be used to being offended being german, as he has to live in germany with all the other 'straightforward' germans
People in UK are starving and can't pay their bills and this moron is walking around like the world is perfect, well when you are a Tory you are never short of money 💰 property and gigantic pensions and salaries
YUP..thought the same. My thoughts actually went.... "WHAT???......WHAT?????....last time i looked FREE TRADE mean't ...erm...FREE TRADE..like, trading freely with zero restrictions" and NOT "well if you are in the FREE TRADE UNION..you can do anything you want as long as we AGREE with it...by our rules"...... ...which is why i just voted .....well, i'll let you guess.
Yeah you need some sort of regulation, however 4 presidents, a commission, a parliament, 2 councils, a common currency, dozens of other minor institutions and soon an army, is a bit of overkill don't you think?
Like it or not, Bavaria is better than UK from any point of view.Bavaria is richer than UK.Unemployment is almost non existent in Bavaria. Bavaria has better work ethic than UK. People are more straightforward, they don't hide behind fake politeness like the Brits.
I'm a leaver, but unfortunately you do sort of need rules to facilitate trade. As one of the other guys said, it's referred to as "non-tariff barriers". The idea is to standardise as many regulations as possible, so you can sell as many products/services as possible to each other. Otherwise, if two countries have completely different regulations on their products/services, then products/services from one country will be illegal in another. BUT. The Tories have said they will take lots of current EU regulations and enshrine them in British law, which will allow us to keep doing lots of trade with the EU. Bloody marvellous. Also, we could do a trade deal with the US, and it might be much easier for us to do so (than for the whole EU to do so) because we are culturally very similar to the US. So it might be much easier for us to reach mutually good terms for many products and services.
Of course not! Free trade does not mean to gain trade superiority by reducing taxes for companies in one member state to back its position in competing with other member states. This would ultimately lead to unfair business!
In another Channel 4 video where JRM hosts (a Scottish Independence Referendum one), he said something to the effect of he always thought cattle would be Tories. And in yet another one he had a similar amusing delivery when talking about his children’s ideology. One small part of what makes him an affable Tory MP.
The German gets offended when JRM pokes fun at his attire and says it's 'traditional', yet doesn't believe that the British people should have a right to their traditions. Now I'm not saying insinuating anything, but this sounds very much like a precursor mindset to nationalist, super race mentality.

Jacob is a charming English gentleman, most of the Germans seemed very rude, arrogant and unfriendly, especially that guy who took exception at the costume comment. I met a German backpacking some years ago and she said to me herself she thinks Germans on the whole are a very unfriendly rude people compared to other countries.

hi guys, I am german myself and I think that I can explain why the costume guy got so angry: In german the literal translation is "Kostüm", but for us germans a kostüm is something, you would only wear for halloween. it is a term for funny and quirky disguises. of curse the word costume has a more natural meaning, but for the bavarian it was an insult, because their fashion is a huge part of their culture.
You can explain it, but the English are still going to be angry, because that's their thing. From the book, "The Angry Island" by A.A. Gill (a Scot): "The default setting of England is anger. The English are naturally, congenitally, collectively and singularly, livid much of the time. In between the incoherent bellowing of the terraces and the pursed, rigid eye-rolling of the commuter carriage, they reach the end of their tethers and the thin end of their wedges. They're incensed, incandescent, splenetic, prickly, touchy and fractious. They can be mildly annoyed, really annoyed and, most scarily, not remotely annoyed. They sit apart on their half of a damply disappointing little island, nursing and picking at their irritations."
It's just a translation error I guess - which can be expected. Or maybe he hadn't drank enough beer! Rees-Mogg was very calm and gracious anyway and most people there seemed happy and friendly to him.
I always knew that main land Europe, wasn't a friend of Great Britain, after traveling through Europe back in 1987 via train, gained a multitude of different experiences of these countries together with it's nondescript dull inhabitants. I honestly enjoyed returning home, to our safe country, such a breath of fresh air. I found the Spanish & Italians, were the friendliest people in general. The truth.
Tweed jackets, tattersall shirts and neck ties are British national and cultural dress, so that the German man who was upset that Jacob called his clothing a "costume" was very hypocritical. The German man is wearing historical clothes for a specific event, in other words...a costume.
Well, tweed/cheviot suit is England’s national dress too, specially for conservative traditionalist like Rees-Mogg, he should have said that. But i see how he is feeling uncomfortable with his aristochratic looks and manners in the middle of this drunks so i cant really blame him.
+Time '...we stood up when the rest backed down and we always will.' - That very philosophy turned Iraq into the hellhole it is today. And let me ask you this: why must the two World Wars have any bearing on the debate on British membership of the EU in the 21st century? Sentimental evocations of British military victories sealed over seventy years ago have no place in this matter. This is a current and not a historical debate. It is about the future of Europe, not its past - the latter is only there to be learnt from, as the Germans have indisputably done since 1945. Bygones are bygones. I am British and proud, but I do not act as if World War Two ended yesterday.
+tas9486 We were lead into Iraq by an incompetent fool. A better and perhaps more relevant example of us actually standing up for ourselves and what this country stands for in most recent years is the Falklands war. I do not dwell on the past either however, millions of British men did not die 75 years ago so that we could become non sovereign and pushed around my Mrs Merkel. Surely you wouldn't taint their honour by claiming that they're 'irrelevant' when some of the survivors are still alive today.
+Time Again, you are drawing a direct link between the Second World War and 'being pushed around by Mrs Merkel' today. There is no such link. Seventy years of history have passed since. You claim that being a member has compromised our sovereignty. But why is no other EU nation whingeing about this? France? Germany? Italy? None of them complain about becoming 'non-sovereign'. And if the UK had taken the so-called danger of being 'pushed around' by Germany into consideration when deciding on whether to join the union in the 70s, a danger which your blatant and in the 21st century totally unjustified anti-German prejudice has lead you to claim now exists, then why on earth did we indeed join? Nobody forced us to.
SURE ABOUT THAT...if you add an ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER(Austrian obviously) accent to an anagram of her name... you have.......GERMAN KEELLA!!!!......close enough for me. ....only kidding.....I LOVE GERMANY...was happy to send my daughter there last year.
Him pointing to the Berlin Wall at the end as a potential reason why the Germans think the way they do regarding free movement was quite insightful. After all people in Germany did not even have free movement in their own country for near 45 years, it makes sence that they are so much more for it than us in the UK who have never really had an issue with moving around.
in german costume has more a masquerade touch/habit, and is often not meant positive and used in a devaluating manner to someone wearing clothes in public
The woman at 7:46 talks about "rules", it is a shame that France and Germany don't play by those same rules. We were never at home in the European Union, we could never be part of the family as they go on about, we are so different from the Europeans.
UKIP is a dead party now, and is treated by the British public with far more disdain than the Conservatives, so what would be the point in JRM changing parties?

Thus proving the Krauts are a very selfish people, offended by anything not German but think it's perfectly OK to be insulting bastards, even when someone is trying to be diplomatic. The UK doesn't need the EU in any way, what for, it's not a free anything, it's a stagnant dead libtarded unaccountable protectionist racket for monopolists.
Yes, this video proves 100% that krauts are a very selfish people, offended by anything not German ... It's amazing how an unedited 7 1/2 minute video was able to encompass the entire German people.
+JoseWhon The only thing keeping us in is access to the single market, but for the long term I'd say we're better off out. Living in a free, independent, and democratic country is more important than a few financial incentives.
This is good, but as soon as one side or the other says "its beneficial" neither side goes on to discuss them. I wouldn't mind another 7 minutes longer to talk about this rather than these short meaningless and quirky snippets, keep the humour that's nice, but don't forget the content. But that's just my opinion.
I thought for years that when it came to the referendum on Europe I would definitely vote to stay in, and it wouldn't be any effort at all to reach that decision. Now I'm really not sure. On the one hand, I love that I can be part of the EU, move, live and work freely within that union and enjoy numerous benefits such as that. However, I do also share Rees-Mogg's concerns over controlling our borders, and the relinquishing of powers to undemocratic and unaccountable bodies in Europe (For that is what they are). I don't think political union of the Federal sort can work in Europe...and if it is going to work and can work, then it must be able to develop more naturally, not by coercion which is what they are doing now. Why should Britain give up its monetary policy, control over interest rates etc? Why would we do that now when we see what happens in this "equal" brotherhood of nations. Nonsense.
I quite like JRM. Of course he's a little quirky, he's a little individual, but he's British through and through. It would be great to have a sandbox version of parliament with Boris as PM, Farage as deputy. JRM as Home secretary. Hey, let's make Clarkson foreign secretary too!
The markets have reacted really well to the Trump win. Things are already looking bright. I am happy for America and glad the globalists are taking a beating.
Ideology aside and purely from practical experience, I benefited greatly from being able to work in Netherlands, Denmark and Spain without hinderance. I regret thinking of the obstacles we will place in front of younger Brits. The out of touch JRMs of the world will never understand how liberating and enriching an experience it was to see and partake in better run societies. My guess is whatever happens will benefit Etonians.
1:58 this guy talking to Mogg was such a hypocrite. He said that Jacob “looked weird” and when Jacob laughed it off and said “well I think your costume is finer than mine” his response was to get very arsey and accuse Jacob of being offensive...
I know the first piece was Flight of the Valkyries and the last piece was Lohengrin but what is the middle one? I’m a massive Opera and Classical lover, been on my Liszt-Brahms-Puccini cycle for so long I’ve forgotten, silly me?
although no bavarian i as a german pray pardon for the obscene behaviour of that "offended" bigot . i'm afraid this people will rather cease to exist than cultivate manners.
Funny how JRM is a multi millionaire Etonian yet I find him more relatable than most politicians. At least he is himself, and he's not afraid to keep social views (in line with his religious convictions) which are deeply unfashionable today.
What do you mean "absolutely, good luck"..at 4:20 ..the EU Rules forbids it. Just like today EU says we are sorry to see you go my friends but the Terms of Agreement does NOT release UK from the EU.
Steven O'kane The Uk´s economic development over the last decades would not have been possible without the EU. You need to look in the long term, its like an investment.
@@unmutbuluti5531 you keep believing what you believe. I'll go on actual fact. We trade with 15% of the world's population which is the EU. And only 8% of our gross trade is with the same EU . The rest of our trade is done on WTO with the rest of the planet. Back in 1973 the people of Britain were lied to, it's a common market it will be great for every British citizen. The EU was an invention of one Adolf Hitler as a way to control the civilized of Europe. Oh and I wonder who is running the EU ??? Oh yes Germany and one Angela Merkel . Education is a wonderful thing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes. You abide by the rules when you are in a club BUT you do not have to accept that the club massively changes the rules when you pay huge membership fees. As for this cherry picking argument, that is an argument that has been concocted. You can reverse the argument right now at the eu. They are cherry picking the best pieces of the chequers white paper. The eu is by definition the biggest trade barrier to free trade that ever existed. Why should for example the US pay 10% to export their cars to the eu when the other way round it is 2.5%!? It destroys competition and only helps big business. Time to leave and yes even if we have a no deal deal, that is fine for me. Juncker and tusk, goodbye and good ridence.
Why Jacob does not clarify to people that free trade agreements are not needed to trade. Free trade agreements are written to protect the vested interests which are both public and private monopolies and certain nation interests e.g. NHS, hence free trade agreements actually limit the free trade. Tarifs are defined by World Trade Organization and can be demolished with bilateral agreements.
Jacob's "Your costume is finer than mine" was a total throw away statement and was actually meant to be complimentary - it had no agenda whatsoever and it was purely an example of his polite banter. Why do people choose to start trouble and get offended and then "justify" it by saying that the word costume has an offensive connotation? It would be obvious to anyone (German or otherwise) with half a brain that it was simply the word he used and it wasn't meant in the so-called negative way the German perceived it. Not to mention HE actually insulted Jacob not the other way round. What a fucking tool. This is why I am at the very limit of my personal tolerance with left wingers and most remainers- because frankly most people like that German guy are PC obsessed progressives who are lefties and pro Europe- that is a fact I witness everyday- regardless of whether anyone thinks it is stereotyping.
Well, cool story, shame it does not have any grounds for your claims. a) the guy was probably smashed, b) his native language is most likely not english c) he is not an oxbridge educated mp. And most lastly the german literal translation of costume is Kostüm which has a less positive meaning than what is expressed by the english word. Kostüm refers to something you would wear as a prank or on halloween. I do not agree with that being german culture since I am from the north and we do not have this anywhere but in bavaria (also in austria and switzerland) these costumes have a longstanding tradition. I wonder what would happen if I'd go into some chelsea pub and say that football is a joke. Most likely similar reactions.
It seems disingenuous to talk about free movement without talking about Eastern European and 3rd world immigration. I find it essentially impossible that people have strong negative opinions about native west European immigration because they are all approx. equal in standard of living and very similar culturally, therefore the numbers are small, the transition is easy, and the motivations are efficient and based on love of another place. But when EU member states start allowing 3rd world immigrants things get bad, also the situation with eastern Europe is bad. In a perfect world we could start the EU again and it would include UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia inc DM and IL, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Malta, Austria, Northern Spain, and all countries within that block. Perhaps even Poland, Hungary, Czek, Slov, Coratia and Slovenia. In addition, the EU will only allow immigration from specific countries such as USA, Aus, NZ, Canada, and white SA. This is plain and obvious and if the debate were allowed in this realm the public opinion will be one-sided. The only reason it doesn't happen is PC culture, of which the EU parliament is inhaling deep from.
Rees-Moog does the same mistake that most visitors do ... *they go to Berlin* Germany is not as centralised as Britain or France, in fact most of the economic power, culture and social live goes on the the south. Berlin is a parallel world in all of these aspects.
Something weird is going on with RUclips. I no longer see the date these videos were published. This video could be years old. Not going to waste my time watching it. Am I the only RUclips user who has this problem? I love RUclips but think I'll stop using it . . .
One thing that really gets my goat is when I see the Union flag upside down, as it was on the dodgem at the start. If you're going to fly the flag, do it PROPERLY.
I think we need to look at translation issues here. I don't think the German guy meant 'England belongs to Europe' in the sense of 'we own you' but more in the sense of 'you are one of us'. But i still voted for brexit. :)

I always knew that main land Europe, wasn't a friend of Great Britain, after traveling through Europe back in 1987 via train, gained a multitude of different experiences of these countries together with it's nondescript dull inhabitants. I honestly enjoyed returning home, to our safe country, such a breath of fresh air. I found the Spanish & Italians, were the friendliest people in general. The truth.
Tweed jackets, tattersall shirts and neck ties are British national and cultural dress, so that the German man who was upset that Jacob called his clothing a "costume" was very hypocritical.
The German man is wearing historical clothes for a specific event, in other words...a costume.
"I always thought horses were essentially Euroskeptic" lol
Well, tweed/cheviot suit is England’s national dress too, specially for conservative traditionalist like Rees-Mogg, he should have said that. But i see how he is feeling uncomfortable with his aristochratic looks and manners in the middle of this drunks so i cant really blame him.
Drone Turbulent
1940 - 1945. We're not European, we're British, we stood up when the rest backed down and we always will.
+Time '...we stood up when the rest backed down and we always will.' - That very philosophy turned Iraq into the hellhole it is today.
And let me ask you this: why must the two World Wars have any bearing on the debate on British membership of the EU in the 21st century? Sentimental evocations of British military victories sealed over seventy years ago have no place in this matter.
This is a current and not a historical debate. It is about the future of Europe, not its past - the latter is only there to be learnt from, as the Germans have indisputably done since 1945. Bygones are bygones.
I am British and proud, but I do not act as if World War Two ended yesterday.
+tas9486 We were lead into Iraq by an incompetent fool. A better and perhaps more relevant example of us actually standing up for ourselves and what this country stands for in most recent years is the Falklands war. I do not dwell on the past either however, millions of British men did not die 75 years ago so that we could become non sovereign and pushed around my Mrs Merkel. Surely you wouldn't taint their honour by claiming that they're 'irrelevant' when some of the survivors are still alive today.
+Time Again, you are drawing a direct link between the Second World War and 'being pushed around by Mrs Merkel' today. There is no such link. Seventy years of history have passed since.
You claim that being a member has compromised our sovereignty. But why is no other EU nation whingeing about this? France? Germany? Italy? None of them complain about becoming 'non-sovereign'. And if the UK had taken the so-called danger of being 'pushed around' by Germany into consideration when deciding on whether to join the union in the 70s, a danger which your blatant and in the 21st century totally unjustified anti-German prejudice has lead you to claim now exists, then why on earth did we indeed join? Nobody forced us to.
+Time 1939-1945
SURE ABOUT THAT...if you add an ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER(Austrian obviously) accent to an anagram of her name...
you have.......GERMAN KEELLA!!!!......close enough for me.
....only kidding.....I LOVE GERMANY...was happy to send my daughter there last year.
What an arrogant German plucking at Jacob's lapel.
6:24 he is talking to a tree like Cameron, is that a Tory thing?
Bloke at the beginning is the seemingly chill one who ALWAYS ends up kicking off after a few drinks.
Him pointing to the Berlin Wall at the end as a potential reason why the Germans think the way they do regarding free movement was quite insightful.
After all people in Germany did not even have free movement in their own country for near 45 years, it makes sence that they are so much more for it than us in the UK who have never really had an issue with moving around.
dis is not costume !
He got so angry lol
I think the German didn't realise that 'fine' is a complement...I think he thought it was an insult.
I thought he took "costume" as an insult, as if it meant that he somehow looked clownish.
Or that "costume" actually refers to a historical or national clothing and is not derogatory.
in german costume has more a masquerade touch/habit, and is often not meant positive and used in a devaluating manner to someone wearing clothes in public
Mogg - inadvertently triggering Germans. Love it.
2:13 - Jacob I'm sorry, but you look like the tall, black haired kid from The Lorax when you're walking in public.
The woman at 7:46 talks about "rules", it is a shame that France and Germany don't play by those same rules. We were never at home in the European Union, we could never be part of the family as they go on about, we are so different from the Europeans.
This is like an Ali G character skit, but real. Lol.
Why doesn't he just join UKIP? He agrees with them on basically everything
Because UKIP are socialists
@cesium alloy socially economic and policy wise conservative. BNP who were actual racists were socialists economically.
UKIP is a dead party now, and is treated by the British public with far more disdain than the Conservatives, so what would be the point in JRM changing parties?
His sister Annunziata did join the Brexit party and was elected to the European parliament.
Channel 4 love those shots through his glasses, they do it on every video with him
Thus proving the Krauts are a very selfish people, offended by anything not German but think it's perfectly OK to be insulting bastards, even when someone is trying to be diplomatic. The UK doesn't need the EU in any way, what for, it's not a free anything, it's a stagnant dead libtarded unaccountable protectionist racket for monopolists.
Yes, this video proves 100% that krauts are a very selfish people, offended by anything not German ... It's amazing how an unedited 7 1/2 minute video was able to encompass the entire German people.
The UK would benefit more from not being a member. It's as simple as that.
+JoseWhon The only thing keeping us in is access to the single market, but for the long term I'd say we're better off out. Living in a free, independent, and democratic country is more important than a few financial incentives.
Especially the democratic side which we would lose to a great extent the way Europe is going.
Ahaahaha you are a loser anyway, just Angelsachsen who were not good enough. Just sailing was your thing with colonies.. everybody could do that
The only friendly German is an expat who has spent a significant portion of their lives outside Germany imo
haha an amusing German at 1:05 "you three guys have to drink a lot of... lot more beer HA YEAH BEFORE YU ASK ME AGAIN!"
Jacod was so right in his closing remarks.
Watched JRM in a bumper car. You can't top that.
I've come here as a pale ale version of Nigel Faraaaaaaage
This is good, but as soon as one side or the other says "its beneficial" neither side goes on to discuss them. I wouldn't mind another 7 minutes longer to talk about this rather than these short meaningless and quirky snippets, keep the humour that's nice, but don't forget the content.
But that's just my opinion.
I thought for years that when it came to the referendum on Europe I would definitely vote to stay in, and it wouldn't be any effort at all to reach that decision. Now I'm really not sure. On the one hand, I love that I can be part of the EU, move, live and work freely within that union and enjoy numerous benefits such as that. However, I do also share Rees-Mogg's concerns over controlling our borders, and the relinquishing of powers to undemocratic and unaccountable bodies in Europe (For that is what they are). I don't think political union of the Federal sort can work in Europe...and if it is going to work and can work, then it must be able to develop more naturally, not by coercion which is what they are doing now. Why should Britain give up its monetary policy, control over interest rates etc? Why would we do that now when we see what happens in this "equal" brotherhood of nations. Nonsense.
Nicholas soames admitted he was inconsistent
Fair play to him Mogg doesn't strike me as a bumper cars fan yet he did it for the report. Hats off mate.
Where is Nigel at?
Hi, I am german and I understand you british very well.
You are leaving a sinking ship! If I were in your position I would RUN
I quite like JRM. Of course he's a little quirky, he's a little individual, but he's British through and through. It would be great to have a sandbox version of parliament with Boris as PM, Farage as deputy. JRM as Home secretary. Hey, let's make Clarkson foreign secretary too!
was just about to say I would emigrate until I realised the satire
No the Mogg for Prime Minister, Boris where he is already and Farage as deputy Prime Minister. Clarkson can be allowed to go back to Top Gear.
Leigh Eastham Welcome tithe Peoples Republic of Dystopia if your dream comes true Leigh.
Dreams do come true
Looks like Jacob was right with Brexit. But, it will remain to be seen what effect it will have on the UK?
I believe it will.
What's the worst that could happen? Live free or die!
Trump becoming President. Game over.. We all have to die at some time, you're free now - so live free until your time comes.
The markets have reacted really well to the Trump win. Things are already looking bright. I am happy for America and glad the globalists are taking a beating.
Rees-Mogg is such a pleasure to listen to. Wish we had someone of his caliber in our legislative bodies in the US.
LoL! JRM.... 'I always thought horses were essentially eurosceptic'
‘Like your outfit’
“Ahhh aaaa ah that’s racist”
Ideology aside and purely from practical experience, I benefited greatly from being able to work in Netherlands, Denmark and Spain without hinderance. I regret thinking of the obstacles we will place in front of younger Brits. The out of touch JRMs of the world will never understand how liberating and enriching an experience it was to see and partake in better run societies. My guess is whatever happens will benefit Etonians.
1:58 this guy talking to Mogg was such a hypocrite. He said that Jacob “looked weird” and when Jacob laughed it off and said “well I think your costume is finer than mine” his response was to get very arsey and accuse Jacob of being offensive...
I just love this guy
I know the first piece was Flight of the Valkyries and the last piece was Lohengrin but what is the middle one? I’m a massive Opera and Classical lover, been on my Liszt-Brahms-Puccini cycle for so long I’ve forgotten, silly me?
although no bavarian i as a german pray pardon for the obscene behaviour of that "offended" bigot . i'm afraid this people will rather cease to exist than cultivate manners.
Germany used to be such a great country. Today it is holding back not only its own potential but that of Europe.
True. Back to the ideology. Compare analytic to continental philosophy. Hitler and Merkel were born by Hegel's Pen.
when did this greatness happen?
Its still great for very rich Germans.
make this man lord protector of the uk
Rees-Mogg is a brilliant 1920s politician. Unfortunately, the UK isn't exceptional anymore.
5th largest economy in the world is pretty exceptional...
Phantomwhite
Not as exceptional as the EU - which is second.
Of the major trading blocks! the EU is going down the tubes!
Even when they're pissed, they talk more sense than Mock.
Funny how JRM is a multi millionaire Etonian yet I find him more relatable than most politicians. At least he is himself, and he's not afraid to keep social views (in line with his religious convictions) which are deeply unfashionable today.
We're all still thinking about costume gate, Jacob Rees Mogg seems like the nicest man.
Wow channel 4 would likely not run this today.
2:51 Marie von Bismarck....I totally disagree with you but I am totally in love with you.
I saw her first! Agh what the heck.Ok,we'll share!
John Clark Kennedy I stumbled on this video a year later and wow...she is literally perfection. I had forgotten that I had commented 😂😂
Quit thinking with your genitals matey.
Stop simping before it obscure what is truly important, brother. Love is temporary, the UK is eternal.
Lol when you don't understand the meaning of the English word 'costume' and then get offended for no reason.
How times have changed.
euroscepticism is still not a thing in Germany, but I think many people have cooled off towards the EU since then.
Don't mention the war!!
Don't mention the war!!
I thought you was taking a selfie with James Blunt.
What do you mean "absolutely, good luck"..at 4:20 ..the EU Rules forbids it. Just like today EU says we are sorry to see you go my friends but the Terms of Agreement does NOT release UK from the EU.
It costs the British more in paying out benefits to low skilled workers in the UK than they actually put back into our economy.
Steven O'kane The Uk´s economic development over the last decades would not have been possible without the EU. You need to look in the long term, its like an investment.
@@unmutbuluti5531 you keep believing what you believe. I'll go on actual fact.
We trade with 15% of the world's population which is the EU. And only 8% of our gross trade is with the same EU .
The rest of our trade is done on WTO with the rest of the planet.
Back in 1973 the people of Britain were lied to, it's a common market it will be great for every British citizen.
The EU was an invention of one Adolf Hitler as a way to control the civilized of Europe.
Oh and I wonder who is running the EU ??? Oh yes Germany and one Angela Merkel .
Education is a wonderful thing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
“You look weird”
“That’s really insulting
Where I am concerned free trade means you're not just tied down to the EU it also means that you can trade freely with other countries outside the EU.
Wagner's Lohengrin Prelude played while Rees Mogg stands next to a wall full of leftist graffiti, how ironic.
"I've always thought horses were essentially eurosceptic" 😂
Yes. You abide by the rules when you are in a club BUT you do not have to accept that the club massively changes the rules when you pay huge membership fees. As for this cherry picking argument, that is an argument that has been concocted. You can reverse the argument right now at the eu. They are cherry picking the best pieces of the chequers white paper. The eu is by definition the biggest trade barrier to free trade that ever existed. Why should for example the US pay 10% to export their cars to the eu when the other way round it is 2.5%!? It destroys competition and only helps big business. Time to leave and yes even if we have a no deal deal, that is fine for me. Juncker and tusk, goodbye and good ridence.
2:13 hes dressed like mr bean ffs lol
Why is he dressed like Mr Bean?
"Well, it doesn't work like that..." That "argument" is starting to really piss me off.
so the guy comments on jacob's attire and then gets offended when he comments back,
Why Jacob does not clarify to people that free trade agreements are not needed to trade. Free trade agreements are written to protect the vested interests which are both public and private monopolies and certain nation interests e.g. NHS, hence free trade agreements actually limit the free trade. Tarifs are defined by World Trade Organization and can be demolished with bilateral agreements.
Indeed, the real substance of any free trade agreement is its footnotes and exceptions.
Probably the most bizarre documentary I've ever seen
Get him drunk. Get him drunk. Get him drunk.
Yes that would be good tactics to get him drunk but he is to guarded and uptied to allow himself freedom of movement .
Jacob's "Your costume is finer than mine" was a total throw away statement and was actually meant to be complimentary - it had no agenda whatsoever and it was purely an example of his polite banter. Why do people choose to start trouble and get offended and then "justify" it by saying that the word costume has an offensive connotation? It would be obvious to anyone (German or otherwise) with half a brain that it was simply the word he used and it wasn't meant in the so-called negative way the German perceived it. Not to mention HE actually insulted Jacob not the other way round. What a fucking tool. This is why I am at the very limit of my personal tolerance with left wingers and most remainers- because frankly most people like that German guy are PC obsessed progressives who are lefties and pro Europe- that is a fact I witness everyday- regardless of whether anyone thinks it is stereotyping.
Well, cool story, shame it does not have any grounds for your claims.
a) the guy was probably smashed,
b) his native language is most likely not english
c) he is not an oxbridge educated mp.
And most lastly the german literal translation of costume is Kostüm which has a less positive meaning than what is expressed by the english word. Kostüm refers to something you would wear as a prank or on halloween. I do not agree with that being german culture since I am from the north and we do not have this anywhere but in bavaria (also in austria and switzerland) these costumes have a longstanding tradition. I wonder what would happen if I'd go into some chelsea pub and say that football is a joke. Most likely similar reactions.
It seems disingenuous to talk about free movement without talking about Eastern European and 3rd world immigration. I find it essentially impossible that people have strong negative opinions about native west European immigration because they are all approx. equal in standard of living and very similar culturally, therefore the numbers are small, the transition is easy, and the motivations are efficient and based on love of another place. But when EU member states start allowing 3rd world immigrants things get bad, also the situation with eastern Europe is bad.
In a perfect world we could start the EU again and it would include UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia inc DM and IL, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Malta, Austria, Northern Spain, and all countries within that block. Perhaps even Poland, Hungary, Czek, Slov, Coratia and Slovenia. In addition, the EU will only allow immigration from specific countries such as USA, Aus, NZ, Canada, and white SA. This is plain and obvious and if the debate were allowed in this realm the public opinion will be one-sided. The only reason it doesn't happen is PC culture, of which the EU parliament is inhaling deep from.
only White south africans would already be against several European constitutions, so you need to get rid of that
Fintan 'the wise' mac bóchra ............................, FYI school can actually help
Funny to see an intellectual like JRM riding a dodgem car.
Rees-Moog does the same mistake that most visitors do ... *they go to Berlin*
Germany is not as centralised as Britain or France, in fact most of the economic power, culture and social live goes on the the south. Berlin is a parallel world in all of these aspects.
Seriously. Even random people in Berlin’s streets know this but media acts like Berlin is a perfect representation of the rest of Germany.
He's one of the brightest stars in the Tory party.
Something weird is going on with RUclips. I no longer see the date these videos were published. This video could be years old. Not going to waste my time watching it. Am I the only RUclips user who has this problem? I love RUclips but think I'll stop using it . . .
Countries that are in the EU do not fight wars with each other. How is that not the number 1 argument?
you know what's weirder than wearing a suit? wearing over-sized children's clothes.
The flag on the bumper cars is upside down!
I was going to rant about that; very disrespectful!
One thing that really gets my goat is when I see the Union flag upside down, as it was on the dodgem at the start. If you're going to fly the flag, do it PROPERLY.
Mogg doesn't like being told what to do but he wants you to do what he says throw back
I think we need to look at translation issues here. I don't think the German guy meant 'England belongs to Europe' in the sense of 'we own you' but more in the sense of 'you are one of us'. But i still voted for brexit. :)
Brilliant politician, should have a senior cabinet position in the new post-brexit government
Probably my favourite City.
