Welcome to Brexit Club. The first rule of Brexit Club is: you do not talk about Brexit benefits. The second rule of Brexit Club is: there ARE NO BENIFITS of Brexit!
My husband communicates with these people regularly, I cannot do it. He has "friends" who voted Brexit and continue to defend it. And all he asks is, over and over and over again, "Please, here's your chance to destroy me. Give me one - JUST ONE - Brexit benefit. Go on. Anything. Any little thing that you think benefits this country. Doesn't matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Just one." They can't. Because, like MAGA, it's a cult. It's about blind faith. They HATE being questioned. They HATE being asked for data, facts and sources. They simply resort, like this woman, to, "Well Brexit hasn't been done properly" oh PUR-LEASE.
People voted for brexit to reduce immigration and get control of our borders, ultimately it hasn't happened because the people in charge didn't want it to happen. Either way isn't our economy in better shape than most countries still in the EU?
@@RELEONSK brexit is against logic. Btw the EU on average is growing more than stagnant brexitland. Plus the uk was in recession last year. You are lowering the bar a lot not that brexit is failing , you said that is was about thriving. Now you pretend to celebrate as the uk is barely surviving.

1:45 - "Name one?" "No, I'm not going to fall into that." Fall into what? The trap of actually backing up your ludicrous claims with some actual evidence?
This is my biggest hate with these arguments with disingenuous people. Just have some substance. Have an actual argument. Have evidence. James would destroy anyone like this because he knows what he is talking about and has the facts stored in his head and the brains to see things for what they are. As well as the humility to accept when those he supports mess up and admit it.
Indeed the very idea of asking for evidence was appalling to this caller. I too have had someone (a Canadian conservative) claim I had deeply insulted them when all I did was ask for a link to an article or some piece of evidence.
This is a joke. Uk should STOP spending taxpayer money on high Mp salaries as well as ON manufactured wars, which the UK spends heavily on when there are uk citizens under poverty line as well as homeless. And now all benefits for people who need it are being slashed but mp salaries. Bankers being bailed out etc these kind of things, Rob from the poor and profit the rich literally.
Yes, actually. When winning an argument is the only goal then you can't fall into the trap of involving factual information that might go against your argument. She doesn't want a discussion or to talk through solutions, she wants everyone to agree with her and validate her without having to actually be right. To an unfortunately large number of people across the world the perception of being right is more important than actual reality.

I live close to Malaga in Spain. Asked some Brits visiting here if healthcare had improved since Brexit. Their answer: no. If the immigration "problem" had improved. Answer : no. Would they vote in favor of Brexit again: Yes, because at least we're independent.
Very silly lady, i voted Brexit because i was ignorant about it.I now deeply regret that vote and I am educating myself . Never again will I vote without some knowledge!
I have a massive amount of admiration and respect for people who have the guts to admit they were wrong. It shows intelligence, integrity and backbone. Well done to you.
Wise is what you are. I too voted for Brexit largely hoping most folk will vote to remain. As I saw many businesses using the influx of Eastern Europeans to continue to depreciate wages and undermine the British working classes. I hoped that my protest vote will cause the government to correct these issues. But unfortunately I must have been alone in my views. As the fools took charge. Hence I regret my vote to leave. I hope there is another referendum on re-joining Europe. I would put three x in one box to join.
That lady is why parties can do whatever they want because the country is filled with ignorant people who learn their politics from sound bites. Utterly pathetic we need a yearly license or something to test a person's competence to vote because just being over 18 isn't cutting it.
I live in the EU, recently renewed my ID and I got finger printed too. Apparently the fingerprints are digitally stored in the new electronic ID. I am told you can do a lot of cool stuff with it, like easily paying your taxes online. 😅 Hopefully the new Labour government will introduce a mandatory electronic ID even in the uk. After all, if they want to control immigration the government must have an easy and quick way to check who is a citizen/legal resident and who is not. Right? 😉
He's the opposite. Impatient, dull and dishonest. He uses his intelligence to humiliate and bully. Socialism has produced nothing but hardship and misery.
It's a trait of the Tory voter. I should know, I have one as a relative. Doesn't listen to a thing I tell them, tries obscufication, straw man arguments. Then asks to stop the conversation.
She's the classic right wing and tory voter - "yeh the Tories were bad but better than Labour" ..very ignorant - very dangerous and impossible to reason with
Sounds pretty intelligent to me. Very few of us were party to all the information we needed for such a complex decision, we depended on experts; hence Gove's call for us to ignore them. My decision to vote remain was largely based on the knowledge that anything the likes of Gove, Farage and Johnson were advcating for was bound to be bad news for most of us.
Think about the question James is asking. Hypothetically, if Brexit did have the opportunity to Benefit the U.K, do you honestly think those benefits would come to fruition under a Tory government ? LOL.
The worst thing is, is that around 17% of voters from the latest General Election share this lady’s views and unequivocally agree with her. If you’re reading this and that’s you, you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
Scottish Independence referendum had every English politician demand every registered voter would be eligible to vote. Brexit referendum, they support only British nationals having a vote. My point, swap the eligibility rule and both results would be the opposite of what they ending up being.
O'Brien has been doing these "one benefit" lines fir years, even before the referendum, and no one has ever managed to give a straight answer. And yet still they call him.
JAMES, IM SO GLAD YOU REFERENCED THE NOTE ISSUE! 1960s Tory chancellor did it as a joke and it has been a running joke since! I’m so glad you have addressed that classic Tory bout of misinformation. Like someone else said, this lady is the definition of cognitive dissonance and what is wrong with the country
@@cameronfateweaver2206 hey! Im 54 today and I am against brexit and i hate the tories don't use age as a scapegoat! There are millions over 50 that are not like this!
I do not equate Labour with the proper education of kids. Education standards in the UK get worse year on year because prejudice, ideology and propaganda in education, especially higher education, have often replaced facts, evidence and balance.
democracy works. But in America the current democracy amplifies voices like this lady because of the electoral college/gerrymandering/being pandered to by conservative propagandists
So sick of hearing "51-52% of the country voted for Brexit" It was about 17-18m people. Which is about 25% of the country. Around 50% didn't bother voting.
That was the inherent flaw with the referendum in the first place. Something as monumental, that would have generational implications, should have had a threshold of at least 2/3rd of the population participation.
@@jacqdanieles Not only that, the same lies and unrealistic claims were allowed that is at the core of why people are becoming less and less invested in democracy. We seem to be sleepwalking towards a Russian style autocracy.
Percentages shouldn’t have really mattered. There was nothing legally binding about the vote. It was basically one big opinion poll. They could have ignored the vote entirely and would probably have gotten a better election result than the one the Tories are about to get! 😂
I love that O'Brien calls them out and asks simple questions, which then just shows how much people fall for the propaganda and then double down when proven wrong.
@@chatham43 🤣🤣🤣. Fall for that one!. I don't think she ever supported Labour my friend do you. But don't you forget, if you want change you have to vote for it. Jokes aside, we are blessed. millions of people would love to have a democratic vote. Guard it with your life!.
I wish she would spend 5 minutes asking herself why she was so furious that James asked her for one example of a Brexit benefit... than 5 minutes angrily bleating down the phone about the benefits (of which she could name none)
Typical Tory: unwilling to concede the global financial crisis was NOT the Labour Party’s fault, indeed suggesting it was all their fault, whilst blaming covid for the recent ills of the UK economy and ignoring the negative effects of Brexit. I despair of these people!
@@chatham43You mean the 30 billion PPE that was spunked up the wall. The 150 billion lost through leaving the single market which included lost tax. Our gas and electricity is the most expensive in Europe.
The financial crisis in the UK was largely down to the collapse of Northern Rock.....now who was one of the main people involved in that.... A certain Rishi Sunak and his chums in his investment firm.
Remember that woman of the tory voter that was crying when her benefits was cut? She was shocked, after the tories have been cutting benefits EVERY TIME they were in power. 🤦♂️
Tories got in because labour were abysmal before them. Labour are in because the Tories have been abysmal previously. I see a pattern, both main parties on the table are useless
If she decided to call the programme, I'm assuming it is because she usually listens to it. So to call the programme, know she would be speaking to O'Brien, and yet still decide to come on unprepared is quite frankly the reason why the country is broken. Because of these people. Brexit happened many many years ago now, and yet they still can't offer up one win. Instead just revert back to waffling and the old favourite 'taking back control'. Control of what?
It's not "what?". It's "who?". They assume far-right bigots used to run everything and do whatever TF they wanted with impunity. Whether they are right about it or not, they are literally telling you what they want. You just have to realise who is saying this. What you have to determine is whether people realise they are parroting far-right talking points and if they own the label or not, because the source of the content is not in question.
Ive got one, I think (just from my memory of reporting at the time) a lot of people wouldnt have made it through the lockdowns if we were in the eu, we bought enough vaccines for ourselves and the eu bought as a group and had to ration out what was left amongst everyone, we were faster to act and only had to look after ourselves
Just looked it up, the BBC have an article on the eu being too slow, everyone trailing behind the uk, and that the countries involved must have wished they'd went it alone... looks like leaving literally saved lives, its weird that its not (and wasn't) a widely reported benefit from brexit

@@TheWebstaff it was an ideological decision by the Conservative-led coalition government at the time, as an excuse to cut public services to the bone and gradually privatise/outsource as much as possible. The country was actually already seeing growth by the time 2010 came about and the Conservatives stifled that with austerity. They then continued austerity for the last 14 years, which is why the country is in a complete shambles. Even BEFORE Covid and the war in Ukraine came about as convenient excuses, the country was still in a dire state due to the aforementioned austerity.
This is more accurate than you think. once you believe something without proof, then you are WAY too easy to trick into believing other things. That is why religious people are more likely to be flat earth, and conservatives are more likely to be religious, and antivaxx people are more likely to be white supremecist.
Very Very few people were well informed, including me. I was told I was only voting for the status quo. Which is true, because there was no proper debate, just obvious lies. I voted remain, I recently spoke to a Brexiter, who, by his own admission said it was a mistake. This caller cant seem to accept she was wrong.

I have a massive amount of admiration and respect for people who have the guts to admit they were wrong. It shows intelligence, integrity and backbone. Well done to you.
Wise is what you are. I too voted for Brexit largely hoping most folk will vote to remain. As I saw many businesses using the influx of Eastern Europeans to continue to depreciate wages and undermine the British working classes. I hoped that my protest vote will cause the government to correct these issues. But unfortunately I must have been alone in my views. As the fools took charge. Hence I regret my vote to leave. I hope there is another referendum on re-joining Europe. I would put three x in one box to join.

Sounds pretty intelligent to me. Very few of us were party to all the information we needed for such a complex decision, we depended on experts; hence Gove's call for us to ignore them.

The worst thing is, is that around 17% of voters from the latest General Election share this lady’s views and unequivocally agree with her.

Consider yourself fortunate. Here in the States, Trumpers are about 40-45%.

Hey genius, those who did not bother to vote DID NOT COUNT. That is how it works.
Scottish Independence referendum had every English politician demand every registered voter would be eligible to vote.
Brexit referendum, they support only British nationals having a vote.
My point, swap the eligibility rule and both results would be the opposite of what they ending up being.

James O'brien is the only journalist who challenges the 'no money left' con trick that so many people have fallen for. Kudos to him.
If she decided to call the programme, I'm assuming it is because she usually listens to it. So to call the programme, know she would be speaking to O'Brien, and yet still decide to come on unprepared is quite frankly the reason why the country is broken. Because of these people. Brexit happened many many years ago now, and yet they still can't offer up one win. Instead just revert back to waffling and the old favourite 'taking back control'. Control of what?
It's not "what?". It's "who?". They assume far-right bigots used to run everything and do whatever TF they wanted with impunity. Whether they are right about it or not, they are literally telling you what they want. You just have to realise who is saying this.
What you have to determine is whether people realise they are parroting far-right talking points and if they own the label or not, because the source of the content is not in question.
Says that people who voted for Brexit were intelligent, then can't provide one example of the benefit of Brexit.
Ive got one, I think (just from my memory of reporting at the time) a lot of people wouldnt have made it through the lockdowns if we were in the eu, we bought enough vaccines for ourselves and the eu bought as a group and had to ration out what was left amongst everyone, we were faster to act and only had to look after ourselves
Just looked it up, the BBC have an article on the eu being too slow, everyone trailing behind the uk, and that the countries involved must have wished they'd went it alone... looks like leaving literally saved lives, its weird that its not (and wasn't) a widely reported benefit from brexit
