How the UK's Brexit Decision Impacts Its Economic Future

- In just a few years since Brexit, the United Kingdom is paying the consequences of its exit from the European Union. Do the British feel regretful about this choice?
Does a stable economic future depend on rejoining the European Union?
In the June 2016 referendum, 17.4 million Britons voted to leave the European Union, that is, 51.9% of the population. 16.1 million people voted to remain in the community bloc, representing 48.1% of the votes. Three years of intense negotiations sealed the official departure from the country on January 31, 2020, ending 47 years of relationship between London and Brussels. In that same year, the main Brexit voices promised to “recover sovereignty” and turn the UK into a new commercial and financial power, which would be the axis and hinge for Western economies with the world.
Let's review in this video how Brexit has impacted the national economy of the United Kingdom after several years.

I don't think the EU wants Britain back. My understanding is they were a bit of a problem child.
indeed. But Europe doesn't mind a closer relationship
Yes - and the UK was a 'problem child' because of the Conservative Party and Conservative governments. The UK wasn't a 'problem child' for the EU when the Labour Party were in government (between 1997 and 2010).
The EU have good reason not to trust the Conservatives (and the Reform Party even less). The EU should not even consider the UK for membership until the Conservatives do a complete 180-degree U-turn on Brexit (or are reduced to a 'lunatic fringe' party like Reform).
@@timonsolus Conservatives and what they stand for is extremely popular in the UK a fundamental part of the society. This is why Labour have done a 180 degree U-turn and they became the conservatives as it's election winner. I don't think that Brexit can be reversed in the next 40-50 years. It's a once in a lifetime thing
@@budapestkeletistationvoices : Starmer’s Labour is like Blair’s New Labour in 1997, not Corbyn’s Old Labour in 2015.
Starmer is pro-EU, but he knows that rejoining the EU is not deliverable in the next 5 years. Starmer is not a Tory, he refuses to put a policy in his manifesto that he knows he won’t be able to deliver. Unlike the Tories, who do that all the time.
The UK won’t be fit to rejoin the EU until Rejoin as a policy has the support of all major political parties.
And personally I don’t think it should happen until there is a vote on Irish reunification in Northern Ireland. One valid reason for the EU to accept the UK back is to help facilitate Irish reunification - and possibly even the breakup of the remainder of the UK into 3 separate sovereign EU countries (England, Scotland and Wales).
@@timonsolus I wouldn't mind a break-up of the remnants of the British Empire
Various opt-outs from the past are no longer available for new members. At the moment the UK does not meet the criteria for membership anyway due to its 100 percent national debt. The status quo is good for the EU, the UK has to follow all standards and rules without having a say, otherwise it can no longer trade with the EU. I am against UK membership in the future because the European economy and politics function much better without the troublemaker UK.
To be fair, most nations that are part of the EU and use Euro don't follow the Maastricht criteria either... Given the UK used to be a member of the EU and it's people voted on claims, which had been since proven to be outright lies, I think the EU could be generous for once and let them back in under the same conditions as they had left (well, appart of new EU stuff) or at very least throw the UK a bone by admitting them into some sort of tarif & check free trade agreement.
I doubt that the EU would turn down a huge net contributor such as the UK. (Nett Cologne, nicht schlecht.)
@@looseycanon Sure, let's reward bad behavior with a pat on the back and a free pass. That'll surely encourage responsible decision-making in the future.
@@joesoy9185 Ah yes, because being a net contributor is obviously the only qualification needed for admission.
@@josefinenilsson8059 Of course not, silly girl !
The current US political situation will not lead to a UK/US trade deal anytime soon.
Good we don’t wasn’t to trade with British peasants who bend the knee to German monarchs, we made this very clear in 1776
It will in November when that corpse is rightly out the whitehouse.
“51% of the population” NO 51% of those who voted.
Didn't realise that voting in the UK was compulsory 🤣🤣🤣 I blame 2 inapt PMs and not the electorate because they were the muppets that negotiated what appears to be a very poor deal. They say don't vote, don't moan.
52% of those who voted.
Correct, those that were eligible to vote.
Pretty standard.
There is a saying in politics, "If you don't vote then you vote for the winner." By the same token for your argument, only 49% of those voted supported staying in the EU.
FARAGE is laughing all the way to the bank!!
No,they wanted out. They were very troublesome partner and are truly not missed.
WRONG FACTS: Croatia joined both, Schengen and Eurozone January 1st 2023.
Officially yes, but Croatia has had FOM and used the EURO since it had candidate status.
and food went up 20% overnight!- the people are stunned there- as guess what?- they were LIED TO ABOUT THAT ASWELL!
@@jonsimmons4150 As a Croatian I say this is a big lie!
@@MangoFIlms_CHWhat are you talking? What euro before 1.1. 2023? We had our own valute kuna before euro.
Correction:
51.8% of people who voted in the 2016 EU referendum voted to leave the EU. Not 51.8% of the entire UK population, and not even 51.8% of the entire UK electorate (people eligible to vote).
In fact, only 38% of the UK electorate (17,410,742 people) voted to Leave the EU. 35% of the UK electorate voted to Remain in the EU. And 27% of the UK electorate didn’t vote in the referendum at all, so their interests were not taken into consideration, as the government presumed that they didn’t mind what the result was.
The referendum only required a simple majority of Leave votes among those people who voted in the referendum to trigger Brexit. This was a big mistake by the UK government.
The referendum should have been set up to require a simple majority of the entire UK electorate to trigger Brexit - that would have required over 23,250,000 people to vote Leave. (That way, anyone who didn’t vote at all would have been counted as supporting the status quo, Remain in the EU.)
Correct. I dont understand why they make such an obvoius mistake
Correct and because of millions more got there eu rights and citzenships taken away from there agaianst there will. There are hundreds of thousands that want to travel freely for more than 90 days live work or study but now they have made that siginifcantly harder. Not to mention how much it hurt the ountries economy and it internation influence.
Thank fuck we left and more than 50.1 per cent I have asked would still vote to stay out and many more I speak to who voted remain have said they would vote to stay out next time. But I voted for.brexit so I am a fucking idiot and so everyone I talk to is lying. I am an idiot but I can chose now, when we joined we joined a free trade organisation not a nazi run conglomerate and the only reason many like the eu is they don't have to queue to get through the airport. Ask many about anything elso about the eu and they wouldn't have a clue.
Brits living in Europe at the time, enjoying the benefits of living in Europe as EU member state citizens, were not allowed to vote. Most of them I guess would have voted to remain if they were given the chance to vote.
Should the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum have been held under your proposed terms? It seems to me that, once the 2014 Referendum had been held with a simple majority being enough to win, the 2016 Referendum had to be fought under the same terms.
re-entering is indeed like joining. you have to go through the complete process.
On top, all the members have to agree.
and finally, UK would have to give up all its exceptions that gave UK a really good position in EU. for rejoining, no british exceptionalism anymore, they will be a EU member like the others.
The UK doesn't have to "give up" all it's exceptions on joining, since it lost those the moment it left.
@@ab-ym3bf Exactly. And the EU would be stupid if it were to allow all the special regulations and exemptions again.
You can stick your membership of the EU where the sun don't shine!
@@martinrye712 at least it would arrive at a place where you dwell.
I do not understand why there is so much regret amongst Leave voters. They got what they wanted. Why are people so discontented when they get what they want? It is utterly baffling to me.
I don't think they knew what they wanted. What was "take back control" supposed to mean? The Leave campaign was all lies and nonsense.
There is not. These videos are sponsored by Remain.
@@A190xx And yet so many Leave voters are complaining, that is obvious. Fishermen for example do nothing but complain. Farmers do nothing but complain. It is well known that people with a lower IQ tended to vote Leave but they are not lacking in intelligence enough not to know when they have been sold a pig in a poke, so to speak.
says who?
yet to actually meet anyone who regrets it, just in remain sponsored videos.
@@jonathanhodgson2142 A YouGov poll found that 17% of Leave voters now think Brexit was a mistake and 11% were unsure. These are generally the younger Leave voters.
This is partly balanced by 6% of Remain voters who think Brexit was a good idea and 4% who are unsure.
But the net effect is that overall, 53% think Brexit was a mistake and only 34% think it was a good idea.
Excluding don't knows that gives us 61/39 against Brexit. A big change from the 52/48 in favour at the time of the referendum.
Most importantly, the EU needs to keep the UK out of the Single Market now.
It automatically is. No exception. No action needed. Out means out.
spot on, we don't want to be in it.
@@jonathanhodgson2142 Why ?
@@mikewilson8513
Because we voted not to be part of the EU.
@@jonathanhodgson2142 So you have still not grasped the utter stupidity of that decision ?
(I know how the vote went, but actually you didnt answer my question.)
The European bank has calculated that if the UK ever rejoins the European Union, it will cost each EU country forty million per week for about twelve years just to clear the UK's large debt burden. Furthermore, from 2024 onwards, every new acceding country is obliged to introduce the euro within five years and must meet the euro criteria, which the UK does not do. and as for the copen hagen griteria, the uk has never met this requirement due to the rebaits and op outs they had. Furthermore, I think that most countries are happy that the UK has left and are not inclined to admit the UK again because the UK always vetoes rules and laws that were not in their favor, they always only voted for if it was in the UK ,s advantage . After the UK left, thousands of new laws and regulations were adopted that were still on the shelf because the UK had always vetoed them. So the UK back in the European Union, that chance is very small
The UK was a net contributor throughout its membership. And the EU was not need to clear the UK debt as it has not cleared that of any other EU state. Sadly, many people have no clue how the EU works.
@@A190xx the UK was never a net contributor. This only seemed so, but the UK always received more than the full investment back through the rebaits, opouts and subsidies, the UK and the other EU countries kept the UK afloat.
It was not without reason that the UK was called the bottomless pit of Europe in the corridors
@@A190xxnet contributor blah blah. English arguments that are meaningless in the EU.
I don't however understand the "calculation from the ECB" claim either since other states don't clear national debts from each other.
Can you give a me link where i can read this for myself. Cheers.
Any chance ?
Don’t let them back in please.
As someone from EU I would say UK shouldn’t go back or better said EU shouldn’t take them back. Also EU is to soft on UK and that needs to change
as a French, I do not agree at all, people of UK are our brothers and sisters, we need them as they need us. Please stop this stupid hate.
@@Elliasp-xx7mb I wish England considered EU countries as brothers and sisters. Anyway thank you for nice comment.
In such situation, tolerance and determination are both urgently needed, Ellia. So you are right but the OP isn't wrong either.
The EU as a whole is pragmatic, they would take UK back. But when EU members individually decide, it will get hot for the UK. So this will be the next SAGA.
@@Elliasp-xx7mb This has nothing to do with hate. But they have a different view on the EU, they always wanted to enjoy privileges but not bear the obligations, always looking for exceptions. If they were our brothers and sisters they should have behaved as such and not as hostile as they (not all of course but a considerable portion) actually did. A good relationship can still be possible but if you're not committed to the team, its goals and ambition you should not be part of that team.
Don’t agree with you and would call your take a stupid naivety!
I have no problems for my brothers and sisters of the UK joining again but there is a condition. The UK was (and still is) only interested in the EU for economic reasons and never supported the European project. As soon as the UK is committed to said project and its goals, I will welcome them with open arms.
Most people who voted for BRexit did not vote out of logical reasons, but due to feelings of xenophobia, feelings of superiority to the rest of the world, and due to 30 years of negative portrayal of the EU in Britain's overwhelmingly right-wing press, which still plays a large role in the media landscape there. These people tend to hold Brexit as a part of their identity, not a simple political action which can be objectively assessed. These people also tend to be in denial, claiming that nothing has changed, or even that things are better, even though they are demonstrably worse than before Brexit.
The important thing to remember, though, is that the UK can't simply reverse course and re-join the EU. It does not work like that. The EU is not a bus you can hop on or off when it suits you. And the EU has rules and requirements for joining, which the UK no longer meets. Ultimately, it is up to the EU, not the UK, who gets to join the EU. So the UK will not be joining any time in this century. They simply have to accept their mistake and live with it. Whomp whomp.
I agree, its a delusion, its actually a cult.
Uk won’t join anytime soon it requires a change in the media before its a possibility but saying not this century is a stretch- a lot of major changes can happen in 76 years. For example the Eu did not exist 76 years ago and might not in another 76. The uk might not either.
enjoy the EU inbound albania and north macedonia! they will make up for the uk leaving!
whomp whomp!
@@jonsimmons4150 The fact that the vast majority of countries want to join the EU shows it is strong and successful. Nobody wants to join the UK. In fact, it's own citizens have been leaving for USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, etc for the last 200 years.
And let me remind you, countries such as Poland or Ireland start poor, but after joining the EU theY grow massively. Ireland is now wealthier than the UK. Poland has a GDP per capita which is only slightly lower than Britain. It more than doubled the size of its economy since joining. Similar is true of the Baltic States, Slovenia, and others.
So your attempted criticism has only shown the strength of what you criticized.
@@jonsimmons4150 Your reply also only proves my point that Brexit voters are xenophobic.
@@jonsimmons4150Nobody needs to take over the bits of the UK .... done and dusted, 4 years ago.
0:29 That's in no way, shape or form 51.0 percent of the population. It is about 1-quarter of the population. Great start!
8:30 No offence, but why would the EU want the UK back? Things are going much smoother now that the UK with its endless demands for exemptions to EU rules is gone.
Sure... we will allow them in again. But only on the following conditions; 1 - UK parliament passing a law forbidding Nigel Farge to hold any EU elected position, and that Boris Johnson can only work as a saugage salesmen. 2 - No rebates or special treatment. 3 - Scotland will be allowed a new independence vote every 10 years.
...and they need to drive on the correct side of the road
-no more warm beer
-not allowed to cook any english food out of health and safety reasons
-everybody floating the idea to invade the EU for what reason ever (e.g. to get the vaccines they want) will be put in a clown costume and set afloat in a rowboat
-everybody floating the idea to use naval assets to get better trading deals (e.g. in Africa) is put in a pirate cosume and set afloat in a rowboat
And the pounds will have to give way for Euros.
Join the eurozone
Any future referendum will require super majority of 60% to pass
You cannot just block Farage and Johnson, the UK is never short of populist charlatans , dozens of Johnson and Farage are lining up for office
Sounds just like the EU to augment democracy when it does not suit its narrative. It has coerced Poland to change governing party by witholding funds and demanded Ireland run a referendum 3 times until the Irish people got it right. You should become an MEP.
@@A190xxyou sound like a Brit: uninformed and re-writing history.
Trade volumes have not recovered to pre-Brexit levels, they have only recovered on an non-inflation-adjusted basis.
Are you sure as there were 2 recent reports saying trade is higher?
I don't see how (trade) volumes are subject to inflation. Only values are.
Because trade is bought with US dollars normally that is subject to inflation.
Looking from Canada you voted to leave.Whineing and looking back, look forward and get going.Its the only way to go.
Except nobody is other than a small number of people who won't let it go. Normal people don't even talk about it anymore.
It's not so much about "not letting go" or "looking back". I think this kind of videos try to open some minds to the idea of rejoining, however unlikely this may be in practical terms. For many people in the UK, looking towards the EU is not looking back, it is looking forward again.
Their problem is that when they left, they forgot that they no longer have an 'empire' to rely on. They have nowhere to go.
David Cameron is without a doubt the worst PM in recent history, the lettuce lady apart
Which of the 4 that followed him was/is a better PM?
well said. I agree. And his terrible mistakes with Brexit and his failure as a leader and his corruption cannot easily be cured.
...and BoJo the Clown
Or Liz Truss ....
@@caballoloco100 the lettuce lady is already mentioned in the first post above.
Well, each country can deny entry to the EU, and that vote is depends on would be merit based. For me that would be negative, with the state of their 'democracy' it would be NO.
The Ref was in 2016 and the narrow result would not be repeated now we have seen the terrible results. At best the Leave Lot would get 1/3 of the votes, but this is going down every few months.
Doesn't matter. Uk is unfit to join. Get your house in order, fulfill Copenhagen criteria-then you can apply-and if no country remembers how the UK has behaved, you might be allowed to join.
Having visited London for a few weeks last year, I was very surprised at the number of local Londoners who think BREXIT is a disaster. They got what they voted for with great regret.
The vote to stay in the EU from London from was huge - The main drivers for Brexit were bashing migrants and how Northern Brexit folk were keen to bash London.
Romania. And bulgaria joined Schengen,by air at least .
and by sea too :)
Brexit was never about economics, it was about identity.
Well we’re certainly self identifying as paupers!
@@peterwill7116 please keep up, have you not heard that the UK is exceeding economically compared to other European countries?
Actually, Romania is half in half out of Schengen. They no longer have checks on intra-EU flights and in ports, but have to maintain land checks. Saying they're out is therefore not entirely correct
If this video is all about the UK economy and Brexit, why did you spell Labour wrong (LABOR) at least twice?
I didn't find any connection to make 'Brixet" in your thumbnail a play-on-words..? Surely you wouldn't make a mistake in the most key word in your video, and make it in the thumbnail?
What brexit? What powers and laws are we now in control of?
Croatia is part of Schengen from Jan 1st 2023, and Romania and Bulgaria probably by the end of 2024.
Croatia is in Schengen, I know trust me
Even states can make big mistakes. The point is that when mistakes are made they need to be acknowledged and rectified. This horrible misadventure needs to be corrected ASAP by rejoining the EU, and if there is any justice in this world, by throwing Farage and Johnson to jail for the lies they told..
well said. Do you think that will happen even in 20 years though? UK will have to commit to joining the euro, reduce its national debt, and willingly sign up to the EU charter without its old exceptions and opt outs. A new referendum would be needed as a first step. I don't see the next Labour Government doing any of that.
as a frenchman, i totally agree, the uk has been betrayed by traitors to the nation who have lied to the people!
first of all, the UK needs to meet the requirements to apply for EU. will take them some time to be good enough to even apply.
Throwing some populists into jail might serve the UK's need for justice but it won't need the EU's requirements. That's a completely different story and doing that won't happen quickly at all. First step is to honour agreements and fulfill the obligations from them. Rebuilding trust is the keyword here.
@@russmarkham2197 Why Poland has its national currency, as well as other EU states, doesn't matter at all. The pound would be pegged to the ECB anyway.
The Uk could join the US as 4 states. Uk already follows US foreign policy and both have English as a language.
They both have English as a language ..Apart from the US. Not my words,but Winston Churchill's.
That is the britidhbproblem: they think they can join whatever they want, without even acknowledging it is not their decision to make.
Sure, and Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can come along too.
Seriously though the UK even damaged its relationship with the US by leaving the EU. In many ways it's easier for the US to work with the countries across the pond with them all being part of the same group as opposed to individuals.
I don't 🇬🇧
What price is Freedom?
Just give it time. in approx. 50 years the empire will strike back as the new Singapore on Themes - there is already a shadow empire at play from the glorious colonial days, with all the financial havens of the UK in Jersey, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands...... British billionaires already know how to avoid paying taxes..... It is gonna be great ;-)
You didn't factor in despondency amongst the metropolitan elite who have lost a lot of hope. Some are surprised there's now talk of mob rule.
Noooo
You all didn 't listen to Tony Blair.......... He was right.. 😃 Against Brexit
The point of Brexit was deregulating the financial sector.
Despite the government's assertions of wanting to improve economic competitiveness through Brexit, their real aim was to enhance competitiveness and regulatory efficiency in the financial sector.
They chose to ignore the fact that post-Brexit deregulation in the financial sector, alongside a fragile economy lacking decades of public investment, would lead to the disastrous consequences Brexit Britain is facing right now.
Makes sense
Probably it’s not about the economy but more about the language and the tradition. They maybe wanted to decouple from Polish and Romanians which have nothing do historically and traditionally, but wanted to be closer to their former colonies like Kenya and India so that people who work there actually speak English and have the same commonwealth value. Good for them.
UK's problems aren't caused by Romanians and Polish, but by Commonwealth citizens.
@@DerDopwell karma for colonizing and destroying these so called commonwealth countries
and australia new zealand and canada.. you forgot those! (on purpose)
No mentions of the loss of freedoms & rights enjoyed in the EU for UK citizens since Brexit. Sadly these continue to pile up.
Like the word says, "British" citizens in the EU. Not EU citizens.
Consequences of brexit
SNP wants to join again
I'd like us to rejoin but if it ever happens it won't be for a long time.
The EU would need to be sure that we weren't going to vote to leave again. I think we would need a couple of decades of serious economic underperformance compared to other comparable EU economies (e.g. Germany, France, Italy and Spain). Then the EU might consider that we had learned our lesson and would be a committed member in the future.
Of course this may never happen. We don't know how well the EU economies will perform over the next 20 years. They could do just as badly as the UK.
uk economy beats france and every other eu economy bar germany.. so wrong again!
should have been at least 65% to leave
Good point - 65% to join then?
100% left.
let's flip this. so 35% to stay ? so you think 35.1% of the voting populus can decide over the other 64.9% ?
thats not how democracies work.
Why that irritating music..
NO
Yep😀
PLZ no GB back, we in the EU can go faster now. You have become like the moon a far away place.
If Britain is to reapply then there is a small chance of getting back all the exclusions and opt-outs that were in place before Brexit, but only if the process to re-join is started soon, as the longer that time passes the less relevant the previous membership becomes.
No, the former membership already is irrelevant. Any attempt to get back the old opt outs, exceptions and the rebate will most likely be seen as a lack of committment and the application will quickly be rejected.
Good point
I really do not see any chance for the UK of getting back all the previous exclusions and opt-outs. The UK left and tried to destroy the EU in the process. The UK leaving did costs us billions and we are currently slowly earning some of that money back. The UK signed the TCA, almost immediately stated that it had no intentions of complying with certain clauses and up until today is still not in complete compliance with this agreement.
There is a breach of trust and it will take a long and continuous effort to restore trust in the UK
Another very valid point. Any new government is going to have claw back a lot of trust and show intentional good will which is the most important factor in any deal of any type
The former exceptions are there because UK joined EU alongside a list of other countries and thus have a stronger bargaining position.
Which it doesn’t have any today. UK will need to follow everyone and join the euro within 5 years under the new regulations
I voted to leave - I now regret it. What I forget to take into account was the 'players' factor, the people who were going to manage that departure, the Tory Party. A party who could not bring the resources together to make a decent ham sandwich. Blame me, I do !!
Must be first comment i ever saw of Bregret but i have heard it on radio interviews.
I think there is growing feeling of it but damage is done and certain cats are out of the bag now.

will this ever end? brits decided to leave and they are paying the consequces of that. me amongst them, espiecially in tesco doing normal shopping. i am lucky enough to have my polish passport. you can see brexit in every bussiness.
zero jealousy of a polish passport.. i left for australia in 2014 bcos i thought we could never leave the wretched eu. i have a aussie passport now which gives me nz aswell.
If my native country, the United Kingdom, is so strong again that it meets the rules for joining the EU, I do not know if the United Kingdom is so 'enthusiastic' to enter the EU. I was against Brexit btw.
It will not be able to meet the financial rules -55% debt to GDP from 101% now.
With a shrinking economy.
Does not compute.
Out means out.
the primary aim of the EU is to create peace (read Robert Schuman and Jean Monet)
We don't regret it?..😂😂
What utter rubbish
I voted remain, but now would to stay out! Not everyone agrees with you!
EU also wants the UK to stay out. Rejoin is not going to happen.
be happy. you won't rejoin because you don't even meet the minimum economic requirements for being a eu-member at the moment.
I also voted remain but that ship has now sailed! So be it!
Why ? (just curious)

Things should change when labour takes power. At the very least they won't continue this pretence that brexit is working. In order to fix this problem you have to at first admit there is one.
We don't have clue what goes on politically behind closed doors.
If you think the UK can quietly sneak itself back into the EU you are mistaken. They might still speak to each other but certainly not about EU membership.
Just one question: If the British feel regretful about Brexit - why has the 2024 National Re-Join March been cancelled?

@@mikewilson8513 The plan was to have a 'national re-join march' each year in London and this was continually published with details on the website. Each year the numbers attending the nrm became less and despite absurd exaggeration the 2023 turnout made it clear the annual nrm idea was not tenable. Obviously, this is not the sort of thing they want to advertise on the website.
@@Iazzaboyce Have you a link for any of this ?
So called " sovereignty " and being alone can have more disadvantages than having advantages in being member in a club !
I don't think there is a problem with the UK rejoining if they wanted to in general, but of course the EU also cant have their members leave and join every other election cycle...
They barely meet 50% of the accession criteria as of 2024. And those EU27 members that profit from Brexit would and will veto them.
Their 🇬🇧 problem, not ours 🇪🇺.
They were warned.
Re-join asap and if necessary join the Euro and even return Gibraltar to Spain if it helps secure the deal...we are no longer an empire and need to stop thinking we are or ever will be again.
Spaniard here. For sure, Gibraltar back to us in the future will be in the negociations.
Is not our fault that UK put it self in this weak situation.
Sorry for my bad english. I am spaniard.
Who cares? Move on...
Only 30 seconds in and I'm already turning this off
Where do you get the information that everyone regrets Brexit?
common why so much judgement. Everyone makes mistakes, the main thing to admit it
I'm very sure we would be stronger together.
I do not regret brexit .Best England has ever done .
10000000000%
Agreed. Your best contribution in 47 years of EEC/EU membership.
Best greetings from us 448m 🇪🇺
@@EllieD.Violet best greetings from 169 countries outside the EU- including the UK worlds 6th biggest economy..
@@jonsimmons4150 How many of those 169 countries are located 30 miles from the EU? How many of them get 40% of their food from the EU?
BTW, since vous rosbifs are too daft and too lazy to control your imports - we 🇪🇺 have unfettered access to your markets the other way round: not. 😎
I don’t regret Brexit at all - we got back our freedom to make decisions for ourselves
What decisions did the EU impose on the UK negatively affected the UK, in your opinion?
@@HattonbankYes! An American wants to know
@@Hattonbankstrange how that question always remains unanswered.
I ask again, what did the EU impose on the UK that negatively affected us?
Utter nonsense! We are more dependent than ever on other countries, especially the USA. The purpose of Brexit was deregulation for the benefit of the wealthy elite - stuff the welfare of the UK.
It is still not too late to go back say sorry a few times, and it must be said LOUDLY.
Yes it is unfortunately.
it is. uk doesn't even meet the requirement to be an EU member right now. they need to fix the economy first. for now: it is too late.
We had this before already. The UK became a meber in 1973 purely due to economic reasons. No need to repeat that. The EU works much better without the UK.
Banking ended last year and euro clearance ends in the next by the way, so its solved.
Not everyone regrets Brexit. I for one would vote against rejoinjng the EU. The UK rolled out Covid vacinations better and faster than the EU. We did not have to spend months trying to agree with 20 + others the where when and why? How many Europeans died because of slow committee decision making?
You used the first vaccine developed in Germany not the sub-quality stuff developed in the UK later on. It was given to the UK because you bungled it so bad. Bit rich touting how clever you are with much higher numbers of death than in many EU countries? Imagined superiority with lack of reality at work at your place again?
Wow you rolled out a shitty vaccine a few weeks faster than others, and then stopped giving it and offered the German biotech/pfizer vaccine for the boosters. And if you think this was an EU plot answer this - the US never approved the AZ vaccine at all! Tell me it was because of the EU😂
The UK is a 3th world country now. If one day they decide to join the EU there will have to follow the new rules. Dropping their currency is one of the rules of Article 49. In another language " The US will have to switch to the Euro
Do you mean the *UK* will have to switch to the Euro?
The US 😂😂😂😂😂 that will never happen
@@Ademirb123 Oh, you *do* mean the UK! Please explain how the UK is a third world country, when it is not doing significantly worse economically than many other European countries (except in your wish-fulfillment imagination).
Of you can't see what is happening in UK, you are completely blinded. I went to the UK last year and saw 1000s of empty buildings. Homeless everywhere, trash everywhere. London and Manchester smells like urine. I am not going to talk about the inflation that's killing it's economy
@@rodjones117 You must be blinded if you can't see it, The UK is a sinking ship. A 3th world country
Its seven years ago get over it.
Its a bit difficult to get over as it has f*cked up the country and the economy from day one.
Why would the British people want to go back to the EU though? Would going back to the EU really help the UK's economy or is it just in trouble from the inside?
We dont regret Brexit because we never got it
Maybe in the future we might have Poexit or Fraexit :v
not likely
Please don't keep getting dry dreams.
Not really in my opinion - Poland has too much to lose (by exiting the EU) and older people still remember how it all was before the EU and the young ones want to live in europeans sooooo.... no, Poexit is not really happening. We are staying where we are :)
D brexiteers dream EU is breaking up that's all u see on every channel but we understand their exceptionalism and how their masters rule them😂😂😂
Only in the wet dreams of a Brexit cultist. Dream on. Maybe you will see a unicorn.
Usual old farts Remoaners chat.
The G7 is rapidly becoming the GJoke
The problem is not leaving the EU but rather that the UK hasn't taken advantage of the opportunity. Poor political leadership is to blame rather than any imagined innate benefit of the EU.
Tricky when almost half your electorate think your wrong. As time passes that number grows. Politicians are bound by the election no one wants to lose their seat
@@patrickmcathey7081 Less than half of those that voted thought we should leave. The issue is that they won't accept the democratic process, including many civil servants who actively thwart the efforts to make this a success.
Politicians make the decisions, civil servants enact those decisions and with no enthusiasm or will on either side it simply won't work. We need to solve that problem not rejoin and help fund a failed political experiment.
I don't regret brexit, not one iota. Some things are worth fighting for like sovereignty and not being part of a non-democratic dictatorship etc. GDP isn't everything you know, and in any case, it looks like we are doing reasonably ok. There is a problem though, and that is that we've really only just started to unpick EU tentacles. They have a tight grip. We really do need to get on with it, even if it's painful - it's just got to be done. I'm of the belief that the EU will either fundamentally change or in fact collapse at some point. Over the years it has well over-stepped its mark (the same goes for ECJ etc) and it needs a huge shake-up in the name of sanity and fair play. I have to ask why some people love forfeiting their country's sovereignty? Do they have some kind of death wish or are they of the belief that we are weak and cannot survive without the EU? I'm old enough, by the way, to know that it wasn't even a good start (when the UK was considering joining the then EEC). Ted Heath chose to withhold vital information so as to make it look more attractive and palatable to the British public. Well, funny how truth will out in the fullness of time eh. Actually, the then French President Charles de Gaulle had the right idea about the UK when he vetoed our membership application. What a shame we persisted and managed to join later. I'm of the firm belief that the EU has benefitted greatly from UK participation over the years, so there should be no bitterness or complaint, but we have to recognise that we are not of the same mindset and never will be, and that probably stems from the two world wars (who knows). We did try (well Cameron did) to work with the EU to make things better in the hope that membership could continue, but the EU had closed doors. What else can you do but leave at the point? A shame, but there we are. Now then, where's my abnormally bent banana ....
I only regret the fact that we have been denied a full and proper Brexit and that the EU still exists.
Better learn to live with the latter - the EU won't collapse in your lifetime.
I Don regret brexit one bit and I would do the same again, these bad times are all of Europe and America, Australia too , stop blaming brexit
Exactly
You said that because you cannot come back!!!
@@ducnguyen-iv9pxno, he said it because he still is as clueless, gullible and under educated as at the time of the referendum.
no one regrets it
No one in MS of EU regrets brexit.😅
Look what’s happening in Ireland now ! They want out of the EU now because they’ve realised and woken up so do the same people who are still fans
no they don't . I mean you can't even articulate what they are supposed to have realized you muppet
Look over there everybody! Surely after 8 years of being told all these countries are on the verge of leaving, when none of them ever do, the penny would have dropped by now?
You need to stop show your gullibility to believing whatever nonsense social media feed you and start dealing in facts.
@@razormothpictures9779 the UK is being ruled by deceiving liars and Ireland has just started being invaded ….
@@dooley-chit’s called reality and I know what’s happened to our country since we joined the EU and why our car industry fell plus other great industries like ICI but gullible people like your buy the nonsense and think that being in the EU is ok and that having foreign names over all our companies today is acceptable
Blah Blah Blah, it's on here so it must all be true. I'm doing better than ever after the country left. Well done
I dont regret it. Dont speak for me, mate.Fowards and onwards. What a load of********
The UK has done absolutely nothing with Brexit thus far. Inflation has been a global catastrophe, and Covid has been a global catastrophe as well. The Eurozone has not seen great growth recently either. Yes, the UK went into a technical recession, but so did Ireland and Finland, which are successful EU member states. We can't blame everything on Brexit, We can't have the UK being successful outside of the EU for obvious reasons.
The European Union will fall apart. Other countries will also exit the European Union, as Germany falters, and the money dries up the European Union will dissolve countries don’t have friends they have common interest, and when these common interest deviate, they will separate.😅
Fall of the EU prediction number 1.546.946.
Don't you ever get tired of spouting these nonsense?
garbage were being punished for leaving thats whats going on
Punished as in being treated like any other random 3rd country?
We voted to leave the eu and we are still joining at the hip with the eu dictatorship, we still haven’t left ! Northern Ireland is case in point , still under eu rules ,
Thankfully we left,stuff The EU where the sun doesn't shine
Yep just like you remoaners do
The only way forward now is voting for Reform UK in the election 2024 the true real Brexit of the power house will rise and do it role; Brexit will fail with other parties there too many remainers involved with betrayal who dont believe in Brexit , Only Reform can make Brexit work do its role.
