Come on.. You don't try to tell us, that cutting the lines to your main supplier and your main customer by making everything more complicated has been a bad idea? If only someone had pointed that out earlier...
But the figures appear to suggest the 'damage' is extremely limited if at all. Despite 'cutting' the lines UK, exports to the EU have increased since Brexit in real terms, and for the overall economy, well it's difficult to see anything.

The whole thing was grossly overblown.
@@Lawrence4000-s3k _But the figures appear to suggest the 'damage' is extremely limited if at all_ Please. Your own government figures show an annual 4% GDP loss due to Brexit.

Complicating trade with your neighbours will never amount to more trade. A 10-year old child is capable of understanding that.
It’s about time all us Brits realise that Brexit was only about staying out of the EU anti-tax avoidance directive for all the hedge fund managers, (Farage & Rees-Smug etc.) & all the millionaires & billionaires that funded the leave campaign. Forget all the fluff about sovereignty, making our own laws, immigration & all the other bullsh*t
No- I didn't vote Brexit because of any of these things. I voted because it makes no sense to elect politicians who dictate what you can, and cannot buy.
@@lochnessmunster1189 ". I voted because it makes no sense to elect politicians who dictate what you can, and cannot buy." In other words you were fooled. All that bullshit about "EU dictatorship" and "EU regulations killing business", was just that, bullshit. All governments dictate what you can and cannot buy, that's one of the primary purposes of government, to regulate markets. You will never find a government that hasn't passed legislation making some products illegal to buy,. For example you can't buy nitroglycerine or cocaine at the local chemist because our "dictatorial" government has passed legislation making it illegal. When Margaret Thatcher forced the EU into creating a single market for goods, capital, services and jobs that meant unified regulations, which meant that every EU country had to change its legislation for product standards and sale of goods and services and so on. Regulations make it easier to do business. Many of the standards adopted by the EU came from UK standards because UK standards were so well documented. So the UK had to change standards the least, but complained the most. The EU was not dictating, the UK was the prime driver of the EU Single Market, we were dictating to other countries. But because we had to change rules to comply with the EU single market that created an opportunity for unscrupulous politicians to claim that the EU was 'dictating' over us. Those unscrupulous politicians have zero interest in making life better for ordinary people in this country, they're only interested in boosting themselves. If that isn't obvious you need to do some hard thinking and observing. And the other thing that's completely bonkers about Brexitists, they bang on about 'freedom' and getting government out of regulating business, and then demand the most severe form of getting government into running business by having government dictating who businesses can and can't employ.
Who are they going to renegotiate with? EU has no intention of renegotiating the TCA. It is working well for EU. On the contrary the EU commission has sued UK to court for breaches of the withdrawal agreement and the TCA.

Actually, quite a lot of us did, and many more voted tactically, in the hope that if sufficient numbers were to voice their dissent and be in opposition to England, they could force another IndyRef, which Westminster DO NOT WANT, because they have no lies left. Remember how Westminster said that we (Scotland) were running out of oil and wouldn't be able to pay our way, and yet, after the referendum, the suddenly 'found' all those gas and oil fields? They can't pull that stunt again till the majority of Scots have forgotten about it. Seriously though, why would we fight for Independence from England, only to hand all that control (and more, a lot more) over to some fat bankers in Brussels? It's exactly like an abused woman leaving a husband who hits her with his right hand, to shack up with new boyfriend who hits her with his right AND his left hands. EU control is a bad, bad, idea. At least we can vote them out... Oh hang on, we can't...

If a surgeon asked my advice on best ways to carry out a heart surgery, my reply would be a resounding "I don't know". Not so the British public, apparently. It decided that an answer to every complex economic and political issue is "Yes". Then, in a tragicomical micro-scale replay of the Brexit vote, Clacton votes Farage in. Just priceless.
Unforseen consequences? Not the slightest bit. Every economist predicted this outcome. The brexit-voters didn't get, what they wanted. Instead they got exactly what they voted for.
I don't see the UK ever recovering from this, will be permanently poor like the 70's . Lots of skilled workers will leave like the 70's. Becoming a hell hole, infrastructure breaking, middle class turning poor, hugh crime, health system in the brink, investment going elsewhere. Depressing folks!!
The country WILL recover. Probably as a result of the rest of the world buying up what's left of resources here. But it will take many, many years, a great loss of jobs and failed businesses, linked together with misery, lower life chances and everything else that a poor country has going for it. Remember that it was Jacob REES-MOGG (no longer a politician, of course, as he lost his seat) who said in 2018 that "it could take fifty years to reap the benefits of BREXIT". Well, four years out of the EU so 'only' another forty-six more years to go!
It's as depressing in the EU. Both the OECD and IMF forecast the UK will outperform both France and Germany in 2025. Probably best to avoid Europe as whole.

Amsterdam also felt the effects of Brexit. House prices rose dramatically as many foreign financial institutions moved from the UK to Amsterdam. In 2021, Amsterdam already received 40 financial institutions from the UK. As a result, many expats settled in Amsterdam, causing house prices to rise. In addition, the EMA (European Medicines Agency) moved from London to Amsterdam. About 60% (mainly EU citizens) moved with the EMA. After that, Amsterdam also attracted many more international pharmaceutical companies with even more expats. In 2021, a house in Amsterdam cost an average of €430,000, today a house costs €635,000. Thanks UK!
Strange as the number of jobs in the the London financial sector has increased since Brexit and so have the tax revenues. Far, fewer jobs moved than forecast and many EU firms have had to move to London to access the markets. London maintains its lead in the largest market, the Forex market. It increased last year by 14% to 3.4 trillion dollars a day (incredible numbers!). Paris for comparison is at 214 billion and Frankfurt below that. Apologies for the house price rises!

When I realised that the workers in the UK car industry voted Brexit and damaged my future and that of my children I vowed never to buy a UK manufactured car again. And I won't.
I wouldn't choose the car industry if I were attacking Brexit. In 1973 the UK car industry produced over 2 million cars. Entry to the EEC it was claimed would increase production and provide for a larger market. By 1982 the UK car industry produced fewer than 1 million cars. European imports surged and the UK car industry was destroyed.

A responsible government, and a responsible party would never have taken us out of the EU. It's clear now, years on, that the Tories never really cared about British businesses, industries, or valued and strategic relationships that these companies (and indeed entire industries) had with partners in other EU countries. Because if they had, then pretty much none of what the UK is experiencing now, would be happening.
@@lochnessmunster1189 Because war is unthinkable when you have very close trading relationships and a more level playing field between countries and the countries are more like equals like France and Germany are today. EU also gives Europe more power and allows it to be more prosperous and have more power by being together. If we weren't united we might be fighting amongst ourselves while China and the US run the world. An EU arrangement in the 1930s wouldn't have prevented WW2 at all because Europe was also dominated by Empires and there were countries who envied those empires strengths. Bringing about an EU also wouldn't have worked. After WW2 the allies controlled West Germany and France and West Germany formed the European Coal and Steel Community. If Germany was still the Imperial Germany of the inter war period France wouldn't let this fly.
A referendum should never have been allowed to decide our exit from the EU , the electorate were ignorant of the necessary facts to make an informed decision .

As Victoria Newland said " we ( the CIA ) invested $5 billion into Ukraine since 2004 F..k the EU we will put our man in." Russia took back Crimea ( 70% Russian folk ) 20 % Ukrainian 10% Tarter. America then converted Ukraine into a defacto NATO state with armaments and missile silos threatening Moscow. Minsk 2 agreement ignored . Putin requested security guarantees from America in December 21 that were rejected. Russia invaded with just " 100, 000 troops" said General Syrski.

The legacy car industry of ICE cars is nothing whatever to do with Brexit. It’s all to do with the rise of cheap high quality EVs in China. It affects legacy auto everywhere, not just the U.K.

It's a great mystery what the Brits actually do in this country in terms of work, given that every sector can't survive without foreign labour. Hospitality deserves to crash and burn. The food is poor quality and over-priced with poor service. YT is full of reports on unhygienic hotels, dirty sheets and so on.
The Uk does NOT need the EU for foreign labour. All the UK government needs to do- it to allow foreign workers in. It's as simple as that- no EU needed.
@@Andrew-rc3vh No. The clear thing to resolve an unemployment shortage, is to simply allow anyone in, who wants to work. No paperwork needed- and no EU.
The uk has few willing to work to any standard of excellance. After 5 months in the uk, the de@d and/or dy'ng urban/rural areas were noteworthy by the number of people sitting in pubs at 8 a.m. til closing. Every hotel, restaurant, and public transit was dirty or brokendown. I left the southwest area as it looked exactly like a dump filled with angry rats.
This means that the world is producing more food than it needs to feed the world, there really needs to be one global agriculture commission with all countries farmers working together to help control prices and raise wages, the farmers in the poor markets are not getting paid enough, and the farmers in the wealthy markets are being taken advantage of by the farming equipment makers and government regulations and red tape. And unequal pricing of food because of where the food ends up.
My company used to buy stuff from the UK, even with the taxes and customs delays, having personal relations with ppl in UK supplier for years. But I guess, the chain reaction and increased costs for raw materials making their products too expensive, force us to found alternative suppliers within EU. And I think we are not the only one in the market with this problem.

Ah, the classic 'but Germany!' whataboutery. The UK would wish it had Germany's credit rating, GDP per capita PPP, or debt/ GDP ratio. And also: whatever happens elsewhere doesn't make the UK's economy function better all of a sudden, does it now? Pointing elsewhere while shouting "look over there!" doesn't solve the UK's problems. But nice try.

Can you do a video on what's happening, by the numbers, to the top lines, e.g. revenue drops by x%, demand weakened by y%, # company closures, etc.? The fact that EU workers have left was kind of an intended consequence anyway and, while the staff shortages are unfortunate, it's the dropping top lines that will dictate whether or not this has worked (I suspect not but the numbers to prove it relative to similar economies are actually not so easy to find).
No it's not. What they wanted were less rules, less immigrants and a opportunity to vent spleen on the political establishment. Brexit is just collateral.
I watched the UK going down the toilet in the '60s. Joining the EEC in '73 stopped the rot. I had no doubt that Brexit would renew the downward spiral.

No- I didn't vote Brexit because of any of these things. I voted because it makes no sense to elect politicians who dictate what you can, and cannot buy.
@@lochnessmunster1189 That is how laws work, can you buy nukes now?
@@lochnessmunster1189 ". I voted because it makes no sense to elect politicians who dictate what you can, and cannot buy."
In other words you were fooled.
All that bullshit about "EU dictatorship" and "EU regulations killing business", was just that, bullshit.
All governments dictate what you can and cannot buy, that's one of the primary purposes of government, to regulate markets. You will never find a government that hasn't passed legislation making some products illegal to buy,. For example you can't buy nitroglycerine or cocaine at the local chemist because our "dictatorial" government has passed legislation making it illegal.
When Margaret Thatcher forced the EU into creating a single market for goods, capital, services and jobs that meant unified regulations, which meant that every EU country had to change its legislation for product standards and sale of goods and services and so on. Regulations make it easier to do business.
Many of the standards adopted by the EU came from UK standards because UK standards were so well documented. So the UK had to change standards the least, but complained the most.
The EU was not dictating, the UK was the prime driver of the EU Single Market, we were dictating to other countries. But because we had to change rules to comply with the EU single market that created an opportunity for unscrupulous politicians to claim that the EU was 'dictating' over us.
Those unscrupulous politicians have zero interest in making life better for ordinary people in this country, they're only interested in boosting themselves. If that isn't obvious you need to do some hard thinking and observing.
And the other thing that's completely bonkers about Brexitists, they bang on about 'freedom' and getting government out of regulating business, and then demand the most severe form of getting government into running business by having government dictating who businesses can and can't employ.
I read that the fishermen want to re-negotiate. Nope, screw them, they voted for this, this is theirs, they need to own it.
Who are they going to renegotiate with? EU has no intention of renegotiating the TCA. It is working well for EU. On the contrary the EU commission has sued UK to court for breaches of the withdrawal agreement and the TCA.

Actually, quite a lot of us did, and many more voted tactically, in the hope that if sufficient numbers were to voice their dissent and be in opposition to England, they could force another IndyRef, which Westminster DO NOT WANT, because they have no lies left.

They can't pull that stunt again till the majority of Scots have forgotten about it. Seriously though, why would we fight for Independence from England, only to hand all that control (and more, a lot more) over to some fat bankers in Brussels?

Unforseen consequences? Not the slightest bit. Every economist predicted this outcome.
The brexit-voters didn't get, what they wanted. Instead they got exactly what they voted for.
I don't see the UK ever recovering from this, will be permanently poor like the 70's . Lots of skilled workers will leave like the 70's. Becoming a hell hole, infrastructure breaking, middle class turning poor, hugh crime, health system in the brink, investment going elsewhere. Depressing folks!!
The country WILL recover. Probably as a result of the rest of the world buying up what's left of resources here. But it will take many, many years, a great loss of jobs and failed businesses, linked together with misery, lower life chances and everything else that a poor country has going for it.
Remember that it was Jacob REES-MOGG (no longer a politician, of course, as he lost his seat) who said in 2018 that "it could take fifty years to reap the benefits of BREXIT".

Amsterdam also felt the effects of Brexit. House prices rose dramatically as many foreign financial institutions moved from the UK to Amsterdam.

After that, Amsterdam also attracted many more international pharmaceutical companies with even more expats. In 2021, a house in Amsterdam cost an average of €430,000, today a house costs €635,000. Thanks UK!

I’ve spent 40 years in international logistics and since the mid 90’s I’ve just watched pretty much every major British company be taken over, shut down and production moved to low cost economies in eastern Europe and Far east, IT and Finance services moved to India with little or no response from government to support UK businesses, with the usual caveat nothing we can do EU rules. Just look at Cadbury. What I want is a UK banking industry and Department for Trade to support British industry, however I believe it’s too late now. However I hope being outside of the EU will give UK a chance to focus on itself however now sign of that, just more globalist agenda draining everything possible from the country.

When you look at it from the Russian point of view it is always invaded from the west. When Russia allowed Germany to reunite NATO and an assortment of statesmen promised we would not move NATO " one inch east" as usual we lied. 16 eastern countries converted to NATO later the CIA toppled Yanakovich , a democratically voted in president. As Victoria Newland said " we ( the CIA ) invested $5 billion into Ukraine since 2004 F..k the EU we will put our man in."
Russia took back Crimea ( 70% Russian folk ) 20 % Ukrainian 10% Tarter.
America then converted Ukraine into a defacto NATO state with armaments and missile silos threatening Moscow. Minsk 2 agreement ignored . Putin requested security guarantees from America in December 21 that were rejected. Russia invaded with just " 100, 000 troops" said General Syrski. Just enough to get Zelensky to the negotiation table in Ankora. Boris was sent by Biden to cancel the generous peace terms and we reaped what America and Boris sowed in April 2022.
Our media and politicians propagandise and lie to us.
The average Joe does not have the time to search for the truth. Our present situation was predicted by Putin in 2007; William Burns in 2008. An outline plan of using the now broken European Economy with the present outcome can be found in the April 2019 Rand American Think Tank Report.
The only escalation the west has not committed is tactical Nukes because we have no answer to Russia's superior MIC and " escalatory dominance in Ukraine" ( Bidens Words ).
Nothing that wasn't predicted and stated prior to the Brexit vote, but people didn't want to listen.

I'm in my seventies now and I have to say that living in Britain now is quite horrible. Everything is SO expensive, there is a shortage of goods, of staff and of hope for the future. It's as though people here have almost given up... now that the country as gone back in time to the 1960s.
I was given a wonderful opportunity in 2004 when I moved lock, stock and barrel to France, with the EU there for me at every turn. I took advantage of what they had to offer me - money, language skills, management skills, re-training skills, French culture - and made a wonderful success of my business there. I'd made so much money, that (providing I didn't go too mad with the proceeds that I had made) I was able to retire at age 55 and then start another smaller business in Spain by way of a little interest.
And I did this all on a whim... young British people - ANY British person - can no longer do that as they said in their vote of 2016 that this was not they wanted. They preferred to do things their way. Independently. To become a little island at the side of the richer group of countries in the world. And just look where that decision has taken them.
You sound incredibly selfish. How many Brits ever did what you did: less than a million? And in return they received 6 million, all competing for entry level jobs and low cost housing. We really are better off without your type: you couldn't care less about poor people and you never did.

The legacy car industry of ICE cars is nothing whatever to do with Brexit. It’s all to do with the rise of cheap high quality EVs in China. It affects legacy auto everywhere, not just the U.K.
Which is why the EU has slapped extremely high tariffs recently on Chinese EV imports - punitively high for state-supported enterprises previously flooding the EU market - and, from next week, commences the far-ranging "Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the Automotive Industry in Europe", one aim of which is to assist legacy manufacturers transition to EV production through regulatory simplification and financial assistance, among other measures to ensure they all survive. Whereas in the UK? They're all threatening to shut up shop and move out (many to the EU).
So yes, as you rightly point out it "affects legacy auto everywhere", but it seems some places more than others and with very different outcomes. Global Britain, yeay!

Brexit vote to the UK public was just about one issue - immigration. That issue has not been resolved and it probably won't be. British folk were told that the trade with the Commonwealth nations would compensate for any loss in trade with the EU but in reality, majority of Commonwealth nations are developing countries who can only export cheap mostly unskilled non white migrant labour (India for example is demanding visa free travel for it's population before any trade deal). These nations do not have any hi tech manufacturing unlike China or EU and cannot add any value to the UK economy.
