whether you wanted to stay or leave, this has made history, not only for Britain but Europe as we know it.
Well done GB! Now Trump only needs to be president of the US and the world is totally over!
Too real
Too real to be true
It would be if Donald Trump didn't say he would remove internationally stationed troops and leave NATO.
thats why he said it is a good thing
weaker EU = US market is the biggest in the world again...
Cameron's like, "Later shit heads, I'm moving to Canada!"
My thoughts exactly XD
He's packing up his Minora and pissing off to Israel before it's OFF WITH HIS HEAD time lol
he's not jew he isnt allowed
He's actually moving to Scotland, because that is where his family come from.
so if Cameron is moving to scotland that means he is moving back to the EU since Scotland is soon going to rejoin
Anyone that's interested, the music used is Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims: MGV 1st Region by Michael Nyman and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Actually, watching this summary of the EEC/EU history makes the decision seem less crazy - the UK had several bad experiences in the EEC, most of them before the euro
The empire is already gone long ago.
"You did it!" *British Pound crashes by 15 percent*
it will go back up
It will, but you're an idiot if you think it'll go back to what it was, anytime soon. And far less when the effects of this shock actually start kicking in.
+ParadoxalObserver no sir, you are an idiot. The pound is as strong today as it was in February its just that wall street etc. bet on Britain to stay in and so now they are all backing out and reversing it. Furthermore, this was inevitable either and WILL come back very soon, its just the markets are always the first to react.
+Toby Talks NO your wrong mate
Strange to think its only been 9 years since every pound was worth 2 dollars.
That was quite a moving little piece. All that history. An issue always there for decades. BBC always make great things like this.
Churchill may have thought that it was great to see Europe come together, _but he would turn in his grave_ if he saw what the European Union had become and was demanding of Great Britain.
What was it demanding that was so horrid?
The welfare and market potential of the average British citizen. Not to mention the largest monetary contribution of any member. There comes a time in a country's history where it needs to break away for its own cultural survival. Like when Ukraine broke off ties with Russia. The EU was a good idea in the beginning, but it bent Britain over like its favorite prostitute, and that''s not going to happen anymore.
Edwin Largest monetary contribution, if counted brute. Usually you count it per household or person. If we do such, then no the UK is not the largest contributor. Of course, Brexit largely ignored the fact that a country with a larger population will of course tend to have larger economies and thus pay more. But per person or household? It's not the largest contributor, at all.
And yes, I can clearly see how horrible it was! It's not like Brexit within a day managed to throw British stock values so low that the value loss was equivalent to 15 years of contributions to the EU.
Edwin
I actually think it a sad thing that it has come to this, but I just don't trust the European parliament to do the right things.
and why is europe not like he had dreamed? Because britain vetoed all the time these unifying processes, the most common example is not using the euro for eample, it was UK that hold it back not EU itsself
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH THE SALT OF REMAINERS IS GLORIOUS.
yes,we geting what we want
What, the remainer globalist puppet PM who doesn't really want us to leave? Ha.
You'll be living in poverty soon, just like you voted for.
HAHAHAHAHAHA the outcome of the negociations is glorious WAHAHAHAhahahah....
You're about to get poorer than Greece
Quite saddened to see what has happened. Ultimately there will be a trade deal between EU and the UK like the US-EU trade deals, but there will be no more British influence at molding the direction of the EU policies.
real watershed moments at 0:37 and 1:58 when David dimbleby reads out opposite victories 41 years apart. sad for this break up but wishing Britain and the EU all the best for their futures. regardless of this outcome, it will always be bright.
One of the saddest days yet. Disappointed and embarrassed to be English.
this is a great victory for local democracy, give the markets a month to get over all the fear mongering from the remain camps and you will see that this was a good idea.
Move to france then.
@@alfranco21777 years later…..lol
"the united states of Europe" sounds pretty scary if you ask me
Yea that Churchill was a real lefty, imposing his socialist utopia on Europe.....very scary.
Chris the United States of Remainers sounds even worse to me!!!!
rhyfela herwfilwrol then again, if he saw what the EU was like today, he would retract his statements.
rhyfela herwfilwrol Churchill is one the most right winged conservatives in British history, he wanted a United States of Europe like the USA he would be turning in his grave if he knew of what the EU has become, a disconnect club of failed politicians and elites who do not connect with the people of Europe. The UK will eventually rejoin a form of European community but I do not think that it will join the EU in its current setting.
Why so?
technically they quit an alliance they never voted to be in.
We did vote to go in 🤦♀️
Daniel Jones we didn’t vote to join the EU as it is today.
@@Halebopp97 and your point is?
@@danieljones1797 You said we did vote to go in. I said we didn't. That's my point.
@@Halebopp97 we did vote though
To everybody saying the Ireland and Scotland will leave the UK, have no clue what your talking about..
A) They will have to adopt the euro unless they leave prior to us leaving the EU, and nobody wants to do that!
B) They can barley stand on their own two feet and will have to rely on Germany and France in which both have said enough is enough and that they are not going to bail everyone out for their own actions *cough* Greece *Cough*.
So be quite doom and gloomers!
So are you guys going to abandon the Monarchy to ?
Brexit is a hit on democracy? This was voted on democratically. Moreover, all the shrills for due democratic process disregard the fact that many British laws and statutes are being imposed from Brussels and not London. If you're upset with Brexit, be honest and admit that you only want democracy if it means people only vote the way you want them to.
Good man
I would agree if the population wasn't political and economically illiterate and apathetic, but they are stupid and woo woo wins elections, not facts and logic.
@@malteeaser101 people are more than capable of knowing what's best for them and their country weather they have a phony degree or not. We have one of the most highly educated population on the planet. Just because we're werking class and have a trade instead of a degree in Liberal arts, does not make us uneducated
@@lewis123417
I think it does. You can't be arsed to pick up a book, but then you want to be regarded as educated and knowledgeable, you want the cake and eat it, but no one wants to put the work in.
The British people did not vote to join the EEC in 1975. GB had been taken into the EEC by Edward Heath and Co in 1973 . The British public voted to remain in the EEC. Can't the BBC say anything without twisting it.
"Heath finally take us in......." by signing us up to be member of a club - who added into terms and conditions at the last minute that they would take over our fishing waters as well as other things, which Heath knew about - a club that tells us what to do, takes our money giving us a tiny bit back and tell us where to spend it, and is now being difficult with us out of fear of losing control over other countries. Thanks Mr. Heath.
What a sad day for Europe, what a bad day for our lovely British neighgours :(

finally 31st january 2020 it's time to leave, whether you voted to stay or leave , it's time to get on with it. if you are always looking behind you, you might miss all the good things right in front of you
How is Brexit going, for you - have you got any "good things", yet?
brexit just opened a pandora box, n ireland wants a unified ireland scotland wants another referendum, frexit ,czexit are on the rise
Even some are seeking for an independent London.
Ireland wants to leave the UK to join the rest of Ireland and return to the EU. Scotland wants to leave the UK, too to join the EU. Frexit and many of these others are just far-right fringe parties trying to gain votes through appealing to them. I don't expect them to gain much traction as news is so focused on how much harm has been done to the market within a day of the vote succeeding.
If Czechia leaves the eu, they'll lose the billions in funding they receive each year that helps them survive
Bro im eastern european and i can tell u no eastern european country wants to leave, in fact some of us is happy that Britainistan wont be there anymore to hold back the idea of a united states of europe , im glad that idiot farage will disappear from the european parliament, nations like british have no place in the EU , now we are perfect :)
skorponok1986 trabantia Great Britain is also extremely happy we voted out.
As for the EU now 'being perfect', I burst out laughing with that one lol, it will never be perfect, far from it, but thats your problem now, not ours.
Nice montage, well edited also good music choice.
JoJo Ma what is the music?
glad we are leaving
After watching this video, it makes this referendum seem rather rash, I had only ever heard of this a week ago and now all the sudden it seems like it's the biggest thing to happen to Europe this decade, if not this century, Even if it's the best choice for the country it seems like such a big decision to make overnight.
I would be curious to know from any actual Brits how long they had known about this, and how educated they feel their decision to vote one way or another was....
The day after, the most googled search term in the UK was..."what is the EU".
I think that safely answers your question.
Brexit is a massive fiasco
I remember the glorious time of the UK in the EU - the second richest country with the future! And today? Disaster after disaster, chaos, no future, and death! What went wrong with the UK? Even the EU can not help the UK and pay the UK to recover the British economy becasue the British people have voted for "Please do not pay money - we do not need money - the UK has enough money and can pay the price the next 500 years! A tragedy for the UK and whole young British generations!
It was a fkn rip-off....no benefits.
The UK & it's people are strong enough to weather any storm. Never write the British People off...
So, Dan, how is Brexit going, for you? What benefits are there?
@@sallysmith920 Yes. Our economy is booming, isn't it ? Splendid! #BritishEmpireRules 🇬🇧🇬🇧💪🤘
Nigel Farage is acting like leaving the EU was all because of him and UKIP when it really isn't at all.
getting the referendum was down to him if any one person can take credit, but leaving the EU was not down to him at all, it was mainly down to common sense.
without this man striving nearly 25 yrs, we would not have had a referendum, it is down to Nigel Farage!
It is down to him!
It was because of him.
The pound falling was just because the markets dont like change. Its not a reflection of the British economy post brexit because we haven't even left the EU yet.
Congratulations Britain! Your economy is in ruins
couldn't agree more
fool
Better poor and independent than rich and a slave.
Lucas L They have suffered until now. Terrorism shall decrease!
Its not
europe is in a mess right now
Jeb is a mess!
+Six Piston Rixton **in a mess, maybe even in its dying days.
EU is dying
More countries will follow
Thatcher was right for a change, NO NO NO,,
Britain has been saved
I think you mean crippled and divided.
+Oliver Hackett whatever what do you know
rosierae riley Well I for one apologize for stating the obvious.
+Oliver Hackett and where do you live. in England? because if you don't you have no right.
+rosierae riley No right...? And yeah I do live in England. But there are other countries in the UK you know.
britain lives to fight another day
it's very interesting
I hope that one day in the future when the (now young generation) takes power they will rejoin the EU
We actually joined in 1973
Andrew Wells together with Ireland
If EEC had continue and not turned into the European Union with freedom of movement, human rights act eu counts etc. Then It would have made a club worth staying in. EEC helping our GDP, but EU has become too big
Churchill supported the EU.
boris where is OUR fish you sold us out be a MAN tell the french to get lost the people are behind you DO IT NOW
funny to see the brits are sooooo happpy to leave Europe. they never felt and wanted to be european.
We lift the EU not Europe lol
Such a shame it turned into a horrible frankensteins monster of an institution
The British decision of leaving the EU was stupid. 52% of the votes to leave the EU were from the elderly or absent minded people. 48% of the votes to stay with the EU were voters who cared about the future of the young generation. The Britons have decided to sell out the young generation's future for freedom and that decision in my opinion was daft
Or the people who chose to stay didn't know how much money we were spending on other country's how many immigrants came in hell even the police force was getting fucked over by Cameron lucky the firemen can go on strike
Stop stereotyping demographics. There was no right or wrong answer to this referendum; it was simply to decide on the UK's ultimate relationship with the EU. The older generations have a huge amount more experience of the EU than us younger voters, and need to rid ourselves of this petty arrogance and entitlement.
+Joey Salads there will be less
+Joey Salads he is more professional than Cameron
👍👍👍👍👍
The memories...
Now we can move forward, build a better country, lead the way for others, 'tell it how it is'
Lol 6 years later brexit is a growing fiasco. You were wrong
Churchill must be rolling in his grave.
Music's too damn load.
Cameron, Osborne, Blair, Major, Heseltine, Clarke, Clegg, Miliband, Sturgeon, Salmond, Wood, Harman, Kinnock, Hurd, Farron, Mandelson, Campbell, Bennett, Lucas, Morgan, Merkel, Juncker….. how do you feel now? Serves you all right. I don't want my country to be part of the EU, end of. Go and do one!!!
it was 1973 not 1972 that britian entered the eec later known as the eu.
In? Out? . . Who cares? That jingle at 2:48 is ace!
Excellent stuff!
I think with the passage of time eu Union will completely end up and British are clever beco they know every eu country is under crises
Really? Which countries - none of them are looking to follow UK any time soon. So, what are the Brexit "wins", so far?
Leaving EU was certainly the most dumbest idea. Now I have to feel pain of seeing prices increasing. It's so sad.
Kinda expected of the british. They like to go solo with everything throughout their history. Hopefully the rest of the EU can get stronger now and cooperate even more.

can someone please tell me what music is playing in the background???
I know this comment is two years old, but if you're still interested, the music used is Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims: MGV 1st Region by Michael Nyman and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
@@JackJames2612 thanks!!!
Too much noisy music.
In my view the referendum was a choice between voting leave and getting shit on economically in the short term in exchange for making a powerful political stand against a relatively undemocratic system, with (if everyone would stop being childish and accept the results) the potential for steady economic recovery, or if everyone remains divided because they can't accept the outcome, a much longer road towards stability. Alternatively, you could have voted remain in the knowledge that the short-term financial situation would remain steady, but live in a relatively undemocratic system which was slowly dying off anyway (even Jean-Claude Juncker said, albeit a few months ago, that the EUs best days were behind us) with high youth unemployment rates in quite a few EU countries. In the end, the remain camp made the case, "we will lose money if we leave" but they never made the case they needed to make to win and project fear ruined them, it was clear (at least to me) a few days ago the leavers would beat remainers given the current climate.
Do you still think the same?
@@sls5117Yes, I do, and I would vote leave again. Short term pain for long term gain. We are one of the world's most powerful countries. We don't need the EU.
@@AC-tn9hg Okay, we'll see. But I hate to break it to you you are not one of the most powerful countries in the world.
@@sls5117 Yes 🔝 10 most powerful! 😁👍

can you cut the music?
Why Nigel Farage is credited, if he was the first ome aaying that the remain vote is going to edge it? For me, the protagonist was Boris Johnson
I like the post-production of this film very much
I really hope that im just overreacting, but is it me or does anyone see a war coming in the not too distant future... :(
Can't believe all the fear and negativity on here about us leaving.
Britain seemed to do ok on its own before! fought two world wars! survived the blitz!
We are lucky enough to have a Nuclear Deterrent against any possible aggressors! plus the rest of our Armed Forces! reckon we'll survive.
Europe however are currently a bunch of cowards! i for one don't think importing men of fighting age from Syria or the rest of the dregs that currently seem to be coming to Britain and the EU is a good thing.
If Britain needs you and you have the skills then i welcome you with open arms.
Whats the point in London doing well when the rest of the country is in ruins! its sucked the life blood from everywhere else! some areas you look at it and just think it can't get worse! so what do you have to loose by leaving the EU.
Its a brave new world! and a positive move for Britain or should I say GREAT BRITAIN
THAT WAS 50 YEARS AGO. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. THINGS ARE GOING TO BE WORSE NOW.
THIS HAS DIVIDED THE NATION.
Who cares, the capitalists have their assets, the demagogues have their positions, while the little men & women should become the new poor of a once known as a great nation!
We're a tiny ass country.
+Mr Morgan where's your empire now buddy?
Donald trump needs to be Prime Minister in the UK to sort shit out
Just a question. Let's say worst-case that the EU collapses (and NATO collapses if Trump is elected president), what will this mean for the western world? Wouldn't Russia just be able to walk in wherever they pleased in Europe without anyone even caring a hoot about it?
Also, what will this mean for western democracy? Will it get strengthened or will we fall into dictatorships all over again?
KL Rider I really hope you're right. I worry about all this stuff way too much. Mostly because I'm European and love my continent.
I think the most dangerous scenario is the rise of the far right nationalism (Neo-Nazis) in Europe.
butter30 Luckely our right-wing movements right now aren't as radical as neo-nazis.
The Michael Nyman-ish soundtrack is a bit annoying.
We're a part of history.
does anybody know the name of the background music?
what a democratic country! I hope one day our Chinese people can vote to decide whether or not we should make the communist party get out of our home country!!!!
"There is no future in England's dreaming."

who is going to bail out bankers now? The pound is around the level after the 2008 financial US bail out? EU Banks my have a currency that could.....?
you missed NATO and wars and the US who wanted the EU to control one government as well as NATO (US war crimes UK war crimes?) Russia loss 22 million on WW2
No war
Britain survive without the EU for hundreds of years and we thrived anyone remember the British Empire and we have the most powerful military in Europe so ye now the EU can't take all out tanks and jets and hand them to other nations good decision to leave it'll take years for Britain to get it stock exchange back and money but when we do we will thrive from it.
Umm... I think that empire you're talking about is but a scatter of dusk of what it used to be. Canada, Australia and India isn't going to request to join back, they're better being themselves. Anyway, I agree that our army is among one of the biggest in the world but it isn't really about the military power nowadays. The point of the EU was to allow special trade around these countries. Without them, starting from scratch will be difficult, but it will soon level out in a few years. Weakened? Yes. Destroyed and doomed? Definitely not.
Lol only thing is you guys ARENT AN EMPIRE ANYMORE. You are one island, thats it. Have fun running your rainy little cold shit.
I'm British and I agree with C D (Urukhai)
Already dragging his feet about article 50, we have to be on our toes that he doesn't skew it too remain.
watch ---- UK Column News 24th june 2016 ----, there are things you need to know and this is the place to get it
So, what are the Brexit "wins", so far?
You did it,!!!!
My country was living with the Russians 50 year and belive me this thru... we was always verry poor. And you have to thanks that to Nigel Frange
While the EU makes decisions exactly like the Politburo did behind the iron curtain. Membership means the loss of sovereignty and freedom to make decisions through democratic means.
If anything, we didn't go all out in WW2, and Americans past or present have never gone all out in Wars. American armies have always acted in a manner that possesses constraint. In WW2, the American Army would have destroyed everything that stood in its way.
What was we before? A industrious nation able to open our own doors and more to those who needed help, until the foreigners stole our jobs... simply because we want to be, not you. What happened?
destruction of good and bad alike
Only if Scotland and Northern Ireland voted out aswell it would of all been fine
Why would Scotland do that I want to leave uk as well now I wanted to stay but uk left the EU
That was noisy music
The greatest day in British history 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So, what are the Brexit "wins", so far?
@@sallysmith920 independent foreign policy......no possibility of joining the euro
sorry if i offended enyone but....whats the huge deal? i don't know what going on.
I don't know what this holds for the future of the UK. But what I do know is that the UK is a very valuable nation. Having the 5 largest economy and being one of the largest nations which trades with the US. The US does need us as we give so much money. Personally I wanted to stay in but what's done is done. Either way the UK was an empire you know having control over India and Australia so you cant say we are not a strong nation. Really I think its a shock. But the EU was letting in to many unstable countries. Something had to be done.
*6th largest - France over took them today since the Pound fell.
Don't spoil their hopes of a great prosperity... ;)
I the pound has now gone back to normal now.

Actually we own meany islands still like the Falkland Islands If it wasn't for us you wouldn't have Hawaii
To be be of your self or your heart? An Apple or the Tree? Sounds to me like they can’t make up there minds and are more interested in something else... by the way, who or what do we owe our national debt too? What is it?
We did well and justice and democracy still lives on, Cameron did well as PM but his time is over. Now we have control / freedom we can be part of the world again.
Oh? I didn't realize you voted for your queen! You know, the person who selects the house of lords? Ironically, the existence of the House of Lords in the UK parliament makes the EU parliament more democratic, as all of its members are elected by the people. Amusing.
To me, Brexit was like the good guy dying and the bad guy winning at the end of a movie.
