They have removed 50 trillion dollars from our economy by moving them into trusts in the Overseas Territories. They are destroying industry with asset bubbles and are unable to stimulate industry because they behave in a way that stops it being financed. The state itself now serves finance instead of finance serving industry. Don't be conned by these people. The ordinary man is just an animal to be studied as far as his CLUB are concerned.

    Hannan is right. "We knew in our bones that he (Obama) was urging on us a policy that no American would countenance." True. But Obama, regardless of his place of birth, was no American. I thank providence, that when he spoke, Britain heard instead the voices of America and their heartfelt cry, "Reclaim your freedom." -Love from a Hoosier who kept vigil all the night of June 23.

BUT I am watching this on October 9th 2019, the day we apparently are being told by those lovely and nice people in the EU that we must sacrifice part of our country, Northern Ireland, to them so that we can get our independence back. These people are not our friends: our true friends are the U.S. and the countries of the Commonwealth whose brave men and women joined with my forebears to lay down their lives so we could all be freed from tyrannical maniacs. Any right minded person would think we had been defeated in war and we need to pay reparations.

      xmfclick - One has to believe that their elected representatives will execute the result of a vote, even when a specific representative believed(es) the vote to be taking the country in the wrong direction. The fact that there is so much opposition to implement the directive as established by the vote - based on representatives saying the electorate was wrong/snookered - is truly horrifying. Even if the opposition is correct, to take that position violates everything the British government is supposed to represent. One has to persuade and, regardless of the ability to persuade, governments must follow the results of a vote.

Either way, I don't think it's too much to say that politics in the UK is severely broken. From now on, whenever there is an election, if the result in my constituency isn't to my liking I will demand that the election is re-run, citing random spurious reasons why the electorate made the wrong decision; isn't that the message we have been given?

    Enjoy, but remember: around the world and throughout history, it’s been tyranny versus freedom in one form or another. The latter must be earned and forever defended, preferably without bloodshed. The entire West, and more, is facing a massive push by oppressors.

      My perception of remainers is that they view the issue as leaving the EU to be an economic nightmare coming...and they believe the political issues between the EU and the UK can be worked out over time. Every country has to give and take and the UK, as a richer nation than many, might have to give more but they receive a more stable Europe in return.
      My perception of the leavers is that they view the EU to be fundamentally unable to represent UK interests effectively. As for the economic interests post Brexit, those can be managed as they come....unless the EU wants to play hard ball. And if they EU wants to play hardball, that further explains why the EU is fundamentally unable to represent UK interests effectively.
      Personal summary: Like a lot of things, the conflict is not over different values, but the ranking of those values. Do remainers believe in UK sovereignty? I'm sure they do. Do leavers believe that a good economy and a stable relationship with Europe are good things? I'm sure they do. Yet there is a conflict.... because each "side" ranks those values differently....and has a propensity to take more risk/less risk on different values...based on how they rank those values.

So what's the risk to just walk away? I guess the Britts are afraid because, the not knowing of the consequences that might take place. I, frankly think nothing will happen, the EU would just get the ball rolling and get this over with.

      Adele, also try Aginourt, Blenheim, Waterloo, In fact what Mrs Thatcher said is true " In my life time all of the troubles of the world have come from central Europe and the solutions have always come fromthe English speaking nations" As for Trafalgar, never heard of Nelson?

    • @StrategicWealthLLC
      @StrategicWealthLLC 4 года назад

      It can't for economic reasons. Unlike the UK which kept the British pound, Germany gave up the Mark. It uses the Euro as its currency. Because of countries in the EU like Greece with its massive problems, the Euro, as a currency, is devalued relative to the rest of the world. This makes goods produced in EU countries that also use the Euro ..... relatively inexpensive for the rest of the world to buy.... because of the currency conversion rates. If Germany was to leave the EU, it would have to start using the Mark again. Because the Mark would be valued very high given the strength of Germany's economy, Germany's exports would be made much more expensive than they are today...given that today, they are valued based on the Euro and not the Mark. Germany's economy is 45% export driven...which is why it doesn't want to leave the EU.
      While I don't know that anyone that entered the EU did so in order to play currency games, many stay within the EU - or feel that they must stay within the EU - because of the currency game. It's analogous to the withdrawal pain drug addicts feel when they try to go straight. The pain is very, very real and many can't stand it...thus they stay hooked on heroin...even though they would agree they should probably quit heroin (self governance is a good thing). Of course, like a lot of addicts, they won't even admit they are addicted (EU governance is just fine....and let's not even talk about Euro vs. Mark exchange rates).

      Whether you are a proponent or not, defining it as right or wrong requires you to know what your objectives were.
      Invariably they are different depending on which way you voted.
      Clearly people who voted remain were not persuaded that it was particularly important to return power and sovereignty to their elected representatives and clearly people didn't vote leave because they wanted to harm our trading prospects so whether it was a wrong or right move in your opinion, it will remain controversial, changing no doubt continually as events unfold.

    50:10 It isn't that the people are necessarily wiser than their leaders, they simply have their own best interests at heart and the leaders don't. We don't care so much how wise the leaders are because we didn't elect them to think for us, we elected them to simply REPRESENT us. We elect them based on what they say in their campaigns - which is usually a lie - but that's all we have to go on. So we judge their "wisdom" on how closely they echo our own interests, and we aren't counting on them getting 'wiser' and changing their plan. I'd rather have an idiot representing me than a genius who represents only himself and his own interests, because given the temptations of power, those interests will always conflict with mine.

  • @riccardopusceddu6232
    @riccardopusceddu6232 4 года назад +1

    21:45 Another wrong conclusion from Mr Hannan: free trade is not always beneficial if the set of people who establish them are not enough homogeneous. That's why free trade deals with the third world make the working class poorer in the West while making the corporation much richer. That's why the income gap is increasing as if we were in a monarchy instead of in a democratic system.
    There should be much more revenue to share with working class people now that our economies fully run on the immense power of fossil fuel instead of animal and human labour. Thanks to free trade and globalisation (companies relocating abroad to cut down prices) the exact opposite is happening.
    We may fool ourselves that we are better off because we have the latest smartphone or can travel abroad often but that's an illusion. Most of us don't even have own the houses where they live in. It's just a short term wellbeing without foundations.

      'will in theory receive'... I am not sure why this is relevant either way. Firstly understand that the reason the EU was stuffed with eurosceptic MEP's of which Nigel Farage & Daniel Hannan are just 2 of many, was because eurosceptic voters were making clear they wanted less not more Europe, LONG before the referendum was ever called or even offered. In any event, I find nothing more selfless than to argue for your own redundancy.

    Seriously, can anyone accept the English as the main origin of liberty and free speech? The English had exactly the same attitudes to peace and political agreements until WWII broke out. The warnings were there, the tried and did what they could, but Chamberlain's approach did as we all know not work at all. Churchill was not very popular among many conservatives, and not much changed until the people resonated with his vigour and his willingness to stand up to the Germans not matter what. He was the ideal person for the time. Not to mentioned the french revolution and the advancement in philosophy and sciences since the Enlightenment (and before). This is the basis of Western liberty, and it's a long discourse between developing sciences, opposing camps and shiftning movments over centuries. It's the willingness to challenge religious dogmas and social conventions and aim for the truth.
