The point is. The English tought, they could outsmart the rest of Europe. Its seems they couldnt.
Outbargain. They thought EU couldn’t do without UK and would buckle to demands and agree to a deal on UK terms. Up for a rude awakening.
@@JN-wr9heYes. Typical British arrogance and exceptionalism.
Living in Australia 🇦🇺 it’s so funny seeing the U.K. fall in spectacular fashion due to their stupidity, they made their bed, let them lie in it
Before Brexit I, as a European, could visit the UK for holiday's, just needed my European identity card. Now I have to get a expensive passport just for entering the UK. So, today I visit other European countries and spend my money there. Really a shame, because I liked the UK. But... bottom line is, you did wanted Brexit, you voted for it, you got it, and now you have to deal with it. 🥺
@Mickenos thaiways and byways. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in your little fantasy world. Smelly I should think, given where your head's stuck.
We didn't want it. 52% of us wanted it, 48% didn't.
@Mickenos thaiways and byways. (a) Yes, that's the one I'm referring to. (b) No, I didn't expect a 100% result. (c) Define "accept". We accept it was legal and real, we don't like it nor are we in any way required to.
The rest of your comment was pure BS and though you're not ashamed of it you should be. I certainly won't waste time on it.
Have the last word. Cranks always want it and I've said all that's required under the circumstances.
P.S. One day you'll cease to be a liar and a crank, but this is a long way off and probably not in this lifetime. Pull your socks up or expect pain.
@Mickenos thaiways and byways. the ignorance is deep in this one ob1

I think you need to start an exporting business then and realize how wrong you are.
I don't buy anything from the UK anymore, not worth it I can get everything cheaper in the EU.
I would like to know if the telecommunications guy is still in business cause his holistic view on trade is unbelievably naive
He has an unexplained fear of left wing politics. He has an unexplained optimism that leaving the EU would not result in losing the benefits of being in the EU. He asks "why would they?" and never "why wouldn't they?". And living in a constituency that has blindly voted Tory since it's borders were drawn in 1951, he seems very typical to me.
@@MrOttman001 good point. Why would they? Dumbass. Thought Bertie booster- would be a good pm. Jesus
He seemed so confident that "roaming charges" for mobile phones would not come back. Said there would be no benefit. I hope he's not representative of British business because he doesn't seem to understand anything about profits or market location. Most companies charge what they can get allowed with. Europe has laws which we no longer have, so the UK becomes rip off city
A man with a massive chip on his shoulder and surely the EU will let us have everything we have now?
Now we are out, we have lost £40bn of tax revenue to jobs moved to the EU as BoJo in effect bulldozed us out with an 84 Majority without bothering with barely anything in place. Many SME co’s have gone out of business as a result as they can no longer trade with the EU competitively, as BoJo doesn’t do detail like arrange trade agreements. We don’t even have one with the US.
The markets showed what they thought as they did with Kwarteng’s budget - the £ slumped after the Referendum never to recover.
Incredible man. So blind.
Brits have a short memory.
UK got into the common market and later EU because UK was in an economic mess at the time. While in EU, UK became economically successful.
After UK left EU, the economy in UK has virtually collapsed and UK is well on the way to become the poor man of Europe again.
UK is not a world spanning power anymore. Brits seem to still think UK is a major world power.
Sounds like you are confused about UK history, like her or loathe her, Margret Thatcher's economic policies were what turned the UK into an economic power.
The UK did not 'get into the EU, it was taken in by fools like John Major and Blair.
Spot on
The reason people support populist movements like Brexit is because people like yourself sneer down at them with everything you do and say. “Brits have a short memory” - Very humble of you- that’ll get the public on your side. Why don’t we focus on blaming politicians and wealthy individuals who lied to masses of increasingly desperate people, instead of belittling the same working classes you claim to stand for?

It's valid to ask non Brits. Now we are in 2022, you'd struggle to find anyone abroad who doesn't look at the UK with incredulity - seeing the place as basket case.
Really?-
A basket case that launches a brand new state of the art home grown nuclear powered and armed sub 2 months ago and 2 off state of the art aircraft carriers, designs and builds its own state of the art smr reactors,and the worlds biggest commercial jet engine.

Brexiters can point to the miracle of British Volt….🤦♀️ even with £100m in free funding
Notice how the Europeans interviewed actually had informed reason, where the Brits had nothing but ‘feelings.’ Ridiculous country.
I left in 2017, took my business with me . Brexit was a disaster for my small business so I got out. Good luck lads
Everything that has happened so far is a direct result of us leaving. The whole Northern Ireland problem wasn’t a thing until brexit emerged. The deal we signed was mediocre at best but the EU isn’t at fault for what we’ve been brainwashed into believing. The UK is a decaying mess of a country only doing down further. Scotland will get their independence within the next 15 years and seek EU membership. Since leaving, our world image has weakened significantly, Europe have no respect for us and our financial institutions are slowly losing their places for other places in Europe. England was responsible for this and now we seem to want the 1800s isolation back.
Thankfully, I’m Irish so this won’t bother me and I can successfully renounce my British citizenship.
I'm pretty certain whatever you did just want viable anyway.
@Mickenos thaiways and byways. We were always going to be beholden to EU laws. If you want a sell a good or service in a foreign territory you have to follow their regulations. If you want to sell an electrical item to the USA for example it has to run under 110v with a 2 pin plug to take a simple example. Offering it on 240v with a 3 pin plug won't go down very well.

Well, the complete London-centric opinion on Brexit. Not a single mention of the opinions of NI, Scotland or Wales. No buena - just like brexit 😕
Like 99% of documentaries made here in 🇬🇧 unfortunately
I guess you were not told, it was a UK referendum (the clue is in UK) agreed by all representatives from the four corners of the UK.
@@jasonkingshott2971 Not sure if you meant I wasn't told or was lied to. Either way, yes, the clue most definitely is in the UK - I _was_ commenting on the fact that it was a completely London-centric documentary (which it was), not on the asymmetric voting system . However, perhaps four individual voting countries with a veto if any one of the _member states_ votes against the motion would have been far fairer than the completely imbalanced setup as was - essentially being dragged over the touch line by the quantity of the voting 'representatives' in England - as is the general numeric case in these UK-wide matters.
@@neilgillies6943 a bit like it happens in the EU...
Yeah we southerners feel the same . It seems to be London London all the time.
The old Brits remember the Good Old days, when the American Marshall plane and revenues from the empire were paying all the UK's bills. However, they had forgotten that the time machine had moved on. And now, like everybody else, the Brits will have to work for a living. The UK hasn't had a surplus of trade the passed 45 years, thus they have had to live on loans but, Truss' budget showed that no-one was interest in UK government gilts any-more, UK gilts have lost their appeal. So the Brits will now, have to get their fingers out of their arses and start working.
I agree the native Anglo is very lazy and have no incentive to work
54:11 I think the world is rightly tired of being lectured about democracy by a country with an unelected head of state, an unelected upper house, a huge unelected bureaucracy, and an appointed head of head of government who choses the entire cabinet himself. And I say that as a Canadian who's in pretty much the same boat. The difference is, I'm aware of it.
I love the senior telecom guy, he represents one of the classical profiles of brexiteer (or Trump supporter for that matter): an ignorant to proud to admit he doesn't have enough information to take an informed decision, a sort of 'I know better' guy. It's the dunning-kruger effect...the plague of our time.
Your comment is still valid 1 year past😂
So this was filmed in 2019. I wonder what the interviewees would say now knowing the economic impact of Brexit? The facts are undeniable; 4% reduction of GDP (attributed to Brexit alone) with a £100B loss of trade, or in other words, £40B annual reduction in tax revenue to the Exchequer (a direct consequence of Brexit, not Ukraine or the pandemic). The previous membership fee was £19B. Makes you think...
I'd bet that plank who thinks the eu is left wing is still as deluded as f*ck
But the net payment , after the rebate and money returned to agricultural subsidies etc, was some £ 7,5-8,5 billion. On top of that many of the poor regions in UK received massive funding from the Structural Funds in EU. Take Cornwall for example. Between 1999 and 2019 it received £ 800 million for various projects like:
The Eden project
Cornwall Airport in Newquay
Combined Universities in Cornwall
Superfast Cornwall
A30 improvments
Innovation Centres
Newlyn Fish market
Aerohub Enterprise Zone
Cornwall Bussines start up
Cultivator bussines support
and so on dozens of them...
@@trident6547 fully agree. I didn't mention the rebate because I wasn't sure how much it came to. But this just strengthens the case for the UK's EU membership. Turkeys voting for Christmas comes to mind....
You should mention the trade in the city of London which accounts or 10% of gdp...since brexit i ready It is losing 25% of trade which means 2 to 3 % of gdp...
About 10 years ago , I think, I read that Russia had a long term plan for Europe. The first objective in that plan was the removal of the UK from the EU. That’s been achieved.
Russia has the economic strength of Italy.
The doctrine of "Ruski Mir" (Russian World) as followed by Putin. He wants to restore the Soviet Union, that includes Ukraine. And by extension restore the Warschau Pakt, to achieve this he needs to divide and reduce the power of the EU.

I voted to stay in the EU. What people really voted for was to keep immigration down. Stop them coming here. But how many people voted leave for the EU but won't admit it 🤔
And now THEM are not here any more and there is nobody to work in farming and hospitality.
Yes and they still coming in like before. Just because the UK does not protect their border enough and illegals and immigrants have it better from day one than in any other country and the most change to get a residence permit ( green card )
funny thing is that since brexit finalized, immigration doubled but instead of EU professionals, now you have unskilled africans and asians, coming for asylum and social welfare.
nowdays, if you live in eastern europe, you get spammed by "work in UK" ads, UK government will never admit it, but they realized it was a huge mistake, and now they are putting a lot of effort to get at least a part of the people that left back.
never understood why people are so xenophobic... people from other countries are still people... if the countries that are better off don't invest in less developed nations to get them up to speed they should not be suprised if those people emigrate and move to more developed nations... Everyone deserves to live in a developed nation...
@@hy3na739 My thought as well. Beside, developed countries need foreign workers more and more to keep their economy going. The UK fall an extra 16% because the 500,000 workers they needed to come in to work in the UK between 2019 and 2022 never came because of Brexit
What does it say about a country where state financed education is allowed to fall behind privately financed education for the few.
You’re about 150 years to late, various governments have failed to increase the level of education up to the public schools standards.
@@davidgrahambrown3793 , when you have the upper class in a class society running the government that will not change. Still it's "funny" when you listen to those guys, educated!.
It shows that we don't live in a democracy......or anything approaching one. We live in an 'Autocracy'. This became painfully clear soon after the referendum.
I voted to remain, I will vote to rejoin. I make zero apologies. To those who have great difficulty thinking, being in the EU did not stop the UK making its own bilateral agreements with poorer countries around the world. And amazingly, we had trade deals with the US, and indeed, with Australia, Mexico and other countries around the globe.
It's great to know that we can trade with that first world country Vietnam, instead of third world countries like France, Spain, Holland, Italy and the rest of the European continent, in the biggest and oldest single market on Earth.
I'm sure the Brexit voting fishermen are made up that they can sell their catches to Vietnam rather than, say, France.
And there is nothing cheaper than losing 3 million people's taxes. And of course, we have no shortages of staff in every single sector of the UK economy. The balls up that is Brexit has led directly to the recession in the UK. For the avoidance of doubt, EU countries had Covid lockdowns and EU countries have to deal with the war in Ukraine. Their economies are growing, ours has tanked, the pound has tanked, we are in a deep recession, and we have a balls up of a government because idiot leavers voted for them in 2019. You are, every single one of you leavers, entirely responsible for the mess we are in now. And no. You will NEVER be forgiven. You don't get to walk away from the mess you made.
I don't think rejoining is possible for the moment. Even if 100% of the UK voted for it. The British always forget that it's another party which will decide on this matter : the EU, or rather, 27 individual EU countries. And as at least some of these are reaping the benefits of losing the UK it is doubtful they will allow a UK comeback.
"Boris will get something sorted ". Says it all.

The world's biggest heist.
The biggest heist was seeing a 4 foot thick pile of documents being signed in 1973.. Some "trade deal"
Spot on. Voted in favour for by the myopic.
The two Asian guys especially who said “ we don’t have the money for passports, up to now an ID was enough “ …and some of the others “ open borders, no delays at passport control “ things like that appear to be the main worry for people having voted to stay in. Jeez….
@@jonsimmons4150 English people seeing the EU as "just a trade deal" is the largest sign of how undereducated the country really is. When even after 6 years of having the time to inform themselves better they still see it as a heist is the ultimate confirmation that the average intelligence of the EU has gone up big time with the departure of the UK.
@@ab-ym3bf they did see it just as a trade alliance, because that’s what they were told way back when…because apart from MSM propaganda and politicians lying their backsides off, the average person had no idea . Now with the internet, it’s still the same.
If you think the political monstrosity the EI has morphed into ..and the average Joe in member states still believing they’re a good thing, then what does that say about the intelligence of those people. Certainly the Brits got fooled into believing there would be a post Brexit paradise, but the average person simply not want to be ruled by faceless bureaucrats riding the Brussels gravy train and watching more of their traditional industries and cultural traditions going down…as well the idiotic rules like EU approved circumference of the few apple varieties still allowed ( just an example, but there are too many to mention ) or what Europeans are allowed to access on alternative social media on the political spectrum without a VPN
Now the Brits can elect their own idiots, instead of sideways promoted von der Leyen..for instance .
51.9%... of people who voted.
17 million voted leave
16 million voted remain
13 million didn't vote at all.
In 2016 I didn't vote because like many people I believed voting would make no difference and didn't consider really what being in the european union even really meant.
If there was referendum tomorrow I would vote to remain, I wonder how many of the 13 million who didn't vote like me would now vote, and how many of them would vote to remain.
Oh well. If you don’t vote then you don’t get to complain. Do something politically productive next time.
@@anomalousproductions3747 no, in a democracy you can complain. The fact that 13 million people didn't vote which is nearly a third of the electorate speaks volumes to the level of disillusionment people put in our countries government.
You seemed to have missed my point entirely.
Part of the problem of the 2016 referendum was tying to vote to an general election, part was a complete lack of understanding of what being part of the eupopean union even meant.
I grew up with the belief like many that voting makes no difference, its just the same regime in a different coloured suit. This belief unfortunately spread to what being part of the european union meant, falsely beleving it would make no difference, when infact being in the EU was the only thing keeping our government in check.
I'm well within my right to complain but more to the point I was highlighting the fact that saying that 51% voted leave is a falsehood, discounting the percent that didn't vote at all. Its not even much of a complaint, I posed the hypothetical scenario. Its not like we live in a facist dictartorship... Or do we?
@@TFx2TV people are even more disillusioned now. With good reason!
@@sararichardson737 Yes, hence why tying the referendum to be part of the european union to a general election was completely farcical and why we should be allowed to make an informed choice detatched from political allegiances and mind games played by party politics
I didn’t vote out of principle. It simply was a political game. The tories never stopped playing games.
Brexit is about the good old days, " like things used to be" ,
The 1972 United Kingdom budget (also known as the dash for growth budget[1]) was a budget delivered by Anthony Barber, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 21 March 1972. The budget is remembered for its large tax cuts, and led to high inflation and demands for higher wages, as well as the 1976 sterling crisis when the UK government was forced to ask the International Monetary Fund for financial help. It also led the Conservative Party to abandon "Post-war consensus" policies.
No way, did that happen?

The people were told that we would be better off outside of the EU by many tory MPs, they also said that the EU was going to take away our freedoms to provide our own public health service and put the non profit making NHS in jeopardy. Some tories even said that the privatisation scams they introduced was forced upon them. This is of course believable now we know that many railway franchises are only profitable because the tories subsidised their operations and are forcing the renationalised railtrack maintenance to charge less than they should for using the existing railway network.
Trying to tell voters how they are being conned by the tories is akin to the old quote from Washington, it's easier to con people than to convince them that they have been conned.
The Bank of England just bailed out your country to the tune of 80 billion. If it had done so then that was the end of all of your pensions.

Why are you not asking BRITISH PEOPLE, go around all of the uk not just london
Maybe that’s because most that voted for Brexit outside of London were working class ‘useful fools’, (as Johnson called them), who were very easily conned into voting against their own interests
They stupidly ‘believed’ only in what they wanted to believe, and disregarded all fact based warnings about what has since come to pass.
unfortunately not all of our lovely english neighbors went to the polls, especially those who opposed brexit. I wish nice neighbors a lot of strength in the future, greetings from the Netherlands
The issue of food prices was always my concern leaving the EU but people were only concerned with the EU's mechanics and valid but emotional arguments around sovereignty, not what would fill the void or whether it was the right time to leave for Britain In truth, Britain is in now a post democratic state controlled by foreign business interests, which makes the premise for Brexit laughably ironic.
Alliteration, , broadly I agree with you…but democracy in member states is pretty much determined by EU regulations …free speech, or accessing certain information, for example. Britain has been ruled by business interests and certain lobbyists for a long time, pre Brexit too.
@@wideawakerealist2141 The last vestiges of democracy were destroyed at the last election and whilst it is true that business interests have been, to say the least, influential for many years in the UK and probably always have been, the acceleration of corruption and the power vacuum created by the lack of agency the British people have over their own affairs since Brexit and, in particular, the last two GE's, is there for all to see. This would suggest that something quite monumental has happened as a result of recent choices made by the electorate.
In my view, leaving the EU gave forces within this country the opportunity exploit Britain even more than they were doing previously. This is not a recommendation of the EU, merely indicative of just how naive and vulnerable the British have been for sometime.
I do not see how the EU is more influential than national government. We, the largest empire the world has ever seen, have proved that point beyond any doubt. To overstate the power the EU has in this country is the biggest excuse for incompetence I can think of. Ironically, it now has more over us since we left but that was predictable anyway.
Would I go back? No. But that also means there is no one left to blame or reason to remain in denial as to our place in the world.
Free speech? Really? We've had 12 years of Tories 'in power' complaining about the lack of free speech and yet doing nothing about it, quite the reverse it would seem.
When I said naive, I meant it.

This Brexiteer is quite cute. "I think roaming will remain as it is, why should they change it? ... much more nonsense... I think they were a little bit misleading about the 350 million figure". A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING? The UK NEVER EVER paid even half of that sum and through losing 4% of its GDP due to Brexit has now lost over £86 billion every year or over £1.66 billion lost every week as opposed to the claimed "gain" of £350 million per week. This will be doubled when the UK loses the right to do Euro clearing, another £80 billion lost starting June 2025.

In May 2016 the pound forex rate against the euro was £1 =1,3172euro. Since Brexit the pound has not gone above 1,20. All this means imports have become a lot more expensive particularly food.
Yup and that was before these tory idiots tanked the pound
It will soon by at parity to the dollar.
Before Brexit our pensions, paid in the US, were nearing $1.70 to the pound. Last week it was barely $1.12. Thank goodness we have 13 acres of firewood. I don't know how Brexit fans can ignore the vanishing pound.

I would first check if my TV isn't imported through the EU. If so it's going to cost a small fortune to replace it.
I think people wrongly blame our membership of the EU for the negative changes that have come about since the 70's. What industry we had was either asset stripped/sold off by thatcher or moved to China.
No money was invested in training people properly -as far as government and business was concerned, why bother when you can import cheap labour ready trained from other parts of the EU? Now of course they are regretting mouthing off and leaving as there is a desperate shortage of skilled people in the UK, and no will or money to train people.

Reality ALWAYS WINS and fantasies never materialize. The UK will realize that....
They realised that when they got sovereignty, independence from a corrupt, anti democratic, unaccountable, protectionist, mafioso organisation run by a bunch of childish, vindictive, self serving, gravy train riding, free loading parasites. Moreover, leave was about self governance, empowering the UK to make its own decisions, It does not set in stone what those decisions must be.

Cummings and frost were appointed by the democratically elected government as with article II of the U.S. Constitution vests the President with broad authority to appoint advisors to key posts in the executive branch.
What would you replace the House of Lords with and what are the powers of the House of Lords you don't like?
@@jasonkingshott2971 Lol. And which unelected people has the EU that isn't appointed by polticians?
House of lords has the power to object to any legislation put forward and can delay bills for months. None are elected.
The antidemocratic first past the post system makes it so one party can get a 80 seat majority with 43% of the vote. How is that democratic when one vote is worth different depending on where it was cast?

Brexit should never have been done without a super-majority. The issue was far too important to decide by a simply majority. BIG mistake. And yes, I would have said the same had the vote gone either way!

E.U. - "Let the Brits enjoy their damp and cloudy little island themselves".
It was a bad choice for the UK. From what I got from 2016 is that about 40 % of the UK citizens participated in the referendum. I think that says it all. It's rather insane and stupid from just a democratic standpoint to let such fundamental change depend on something as a referendum. Also I think that the people in the 51,9 % did not make their decision on rational arguments. It was of fear, nostalgic feelings that are irrelevant in this century.. Also I think that some of the Brits tend to think that they are some kind of USA. But that's also a romanticized idea they have of the usa. And probably also because Americans speak English (in my opinion an uglier version of English lol). But come on Brits, besides those you can't really be wishing to become like the USA. Luckily the UK is still much more European. The EU has it flaws but is also an huge economic powerhouse with an enormously interesting consumer market. You only have to look at the Usb-c decision.It's a EU rule but the effect of it is world wide. The UK has much more to win within the EU than out. Just set the emotional and outdated pride aside and you come easily to the rational realization that the UK is European and not anything else. With European ideals and principles. When you have a good look at the USA and will notice how messed up their society is, socially, infrastructures, the failed and hideous city design, and their only relevant way of getting around that they have left is the car. That's it ! Sure the USA is economically the greatest. But look at the effect on the average American ! It's a good thing for many Americans that they keep on believing in that well promoted dream. No matter how awful their lives can be, at least they have the feeling that they are more free and the greatest than people in other countries. The reality is that people in Europe, and also countries in other parts of the world have a way better standard of living that Americans.
Hopefully the UK citizens get the change again some day to rejoin the EU. The flaws can be worked on. But it's better to live and make compromises than just the winner takes it all principle. At the end that never led to progress a society.
The idea to exit European union as to understand an integrated world's is not polar people. It is friendships of women and men and the freedoms to be aside friends.

Well the gullible Britain learnt one thing - if something seems to good to be true, it is.
What I find so remarkable is that the Pro-EU people seem to think that 'UK Leave' is not in any way damaging to the EU. Can anybody give me an example wherein if an organisation loses 20% of its value and the equivalent GDP of nineteen other members combined, but who have no trade with the others of significance, how it is not damaging? The main problem for the Brexit process was that the overwhelming party political machines of ALL the parties in Westminster were Remainers and attempted to frustrate the referendum decision. NO government, not Cameron's or May's became a pro-Leave party officially until Johnson was elected Tory leader and PM and then without a majority to implement the decision until he got a Dissolution. ALL the Westminster opposition parties were and Remain pro-EU. Only Farage's Brexit Party got an overwhelming mandate but that was in a EUroParliament Election the UK should not have participated in. That too was a deliberate intention of the Remainer Parliament to try and keep the UK in the EU and try and get a representation in Brussels they could claim had 'reversed the referendum'. It blew up in their faces and Farage's party was the single largest in Brussels.
As a person living on the European mainland, and still part of the EU, I can only say Brexit was also damaging to us. But not NEARLY on the scale as it was predicted (there's nothing noticeable in everyday life), and not even CLOSE as it was/is/for the foreseeable future will be damaging to the UK.
We lost a market of 65ish million people, ye lost a market of 450ish million people. The deal ye got at the end might have helped band aid it but when you push through the protocol bill that's also gone. All this was done before Truss crashed your economy.
@@seankavanagh7625 NO - the UK has not lost any market in the EU, exports are the same. Also the EU market is NOT 450M it isn't half that - 19 of the member states are not economically significant.

The largest group in the referendium was those people who couldn`t make up their minds. Cameron is to blame for this distorted result. He should`ve said we won`t come out unless at least 66% vote to go.
Im not sure you understand how a vote works
As a Yank living in England, Brexit first made some sense to me as similar to our many ballot referendums in the USA -- a type of democracy. However, the important difference is that for anything this important and close in the USA, there would be follow-up referendums just 1-2 years later -- so it would be an ongoing democracy, not a one-off. Hence, I now see Brexit as extremely undemocratic as there was no opportunity for further democratic decisions.
Smart guy that Indian gentleman

Complète train smash; voted for by people who had no idea and arguably an older generation on whom the impact would be less. Political opportunity for the likes of liar bo jo. Cannot see any benefit so far of leaving, but do hear cost to leave now over 30bn. What a mess.

Very London centric documentary, try going outside London. Voted remain but was on the fence for a long time.
