Genuinely interested because all that's being seen (even on conservative Brit newspapers) is food shortages in Britain, jobs leaving the UK, lower GDP, higher trade deficit, Brits having troubles abroad in the EU and renewed separatism in NI and Scotland. If I was a Scot, putting up a few customs posts is looking increasingly attractive to return to the world's biggest trade bloc and leaving England to their mess.

Brexit was never like a divorce. The EU kept saying that it didn't want the UK to leave and the EU doesn't have to divide up its assets and give the UK half, so not a divorce going on at all.
Nonsense. Britain loses out, becomes a small insignificant island grouping off the coast of mainland Europe. Europeans are more likely to pity the British than agree with them. As shown in the report, some EU countries have gained from brexit, but what has the UK gained? I'm still waiting to hear/see/read any benefit whatsoever from brexit for the UK. Keep in mind the lies told (no more red tape) and the manoeuvres used (Cambridge Analytica) to accomplish the hood-winking of enough uneducated or greedy or xenophobic brits. What was the real purpose of brexit? In my opinion it was to try to weaken the EU and cause chaos in the UK. It has worked perfectly where the UK is concerned, but I think, as the man said, the UK is a shining example of leaving a good situation and entering a terrible one and therefore an excellent deterrent to any other EU country. It's much better to be in the club than outside the club.
to be fair, those who lost the less are all out uk (everyone is a looser at first, uk much more then anyone else xD but still everyone) could become a great win for eu if they manage to move more and faster without uk (wich is quite likely when you considered how uk has always been in but out of eu in a way) but that part aint there just yet
Well you have less of yours, as the EU has cut down your quotas, but Spain is benefiting, they are better at hiding the quota cheating, hidden fish holds, to help protect the fish stocks 😂 is your fishing fleet getting bigger or smaller? 🤔 Your fish stocks will be.
The fish stocks will be protected against the factory ship's, the fish stocks will be managed by the UK. Looking at the Mediterranean sea, the EU is ignoring the problems, one day the fish stocks will disappear. Moving onto Irish fish stocks next. We'll not be able to sell you any 😂
It was about control of the borders not waters alone. If Cameron had been listened too by Brussels perhaps the referendum would have gone the other way.
The EU is currently over fishing 😂 so eventually you'll have no fish stocks. The UK fish stocks will not go away, the UK fishing fleet is small. So what exactly are we going to lose? If the Russians cross the border? Shall we stay at home and let the EU sort out terms with the Russians? 😂
Ah, the most positive thing i noticed, 7 months in, is the European unity and the sentiment that we have each other. UK hardships that came and will still come years on, only showed that the EU union is a good project.

So instead of getting down to dealing with the actual structural problems they decided to focus on easy sell sideshow issues to rouse the old spirit of the trenches. It worked a treat! If things go well, they'll still be able to milk those issues into the next election while the country loses out on the "economic point of view".
England never really bought in to the European Project - EU membership was seen as a transaction rather than a commitment from the heart to mutual security and prosperity. There was a truculence born from a mindset of British exceptionalism - we might have stepped out of 'colonial robes' and status as a super power but not the associated mindset or at least not for oldest third of the population to which I belong. We are now faced with digesting a lot of humble pie and coming to terms with the grim consequences - an embarrassing reversal only achievable over 10 or more years or the disintegration of the UK. A fractious social and political environment is unavoidable.
Politics needed something different than the constant push for globalism. one self inflicted desire to live democratically, no direct vote for 41 years isnt democratic. the other was the Americans looking at past corruption of politicians and wanted to risk putting a businessman in to stop the endless wars the globalists created on lies.

So Ironic that what England wants, the right to self-govern for themselves is only good for themselves, but on the otherhand they are against a reunited independant self-governing Ireland.
so the Irish fighting amongst themselves for decades should just be ignored, you try to attempt to reunify Ireland and watch the IRA jump back out of the shadows. Without the Irish and Scottish leave voters, remain would have won. voted as the UK, so the UK got what it voted for,,,,,eventually.

With the CTA policy in place, the trade across the border can be done electronically, so no need to put checkpoints in place.
England are fine with self governing provided it is they who are in charge. Precisely the reason they wanted out of EU ; Thet couldn't throw their weight around like they do in UK !!
For Scotland to leave the UK means setting up their own ``independent`` currency and ``independent`` central bank, that will bankrupt them for about a decade economists have forcasted. the eu will not accept none financially viable countries, so Scotland would have no political or financial back up for up to 10 years. and why would Northern Ireland leave, are you ignorant to the decades of the Troubles?
As a former American who moved to the Netherlands for love, I look at Brexit and feel so lucky to have met a Dutch wife and not a British one.

Plus 'most farmers' does not mean 'all but one'.

22 minutes in and this is almost entirely an interview of people unhappy with Brexit. Given that most people voted for Brexit, it’s interesting you managed to sample almost entirely on those who didn’t.
One aspect is the role of the EU as the scapegoat for UK. The EU was always blamed for the domestic problems of the UK. Unfortunately this still goes on as many people in the UK do not understand that the rules for 3rd countries apply to UK as well. They seem to have problems to accept that UK has no special status - that UK is not something that should get special treatment. There was the Christmas deal with UK and EU, showing that UK got anyhow some better conditions than it could have had. The UK avoided horribly bad situation that no deal WTO-level situation would have caused. Unfortunately many brexiteers do not seem to be able to understand that this is the situation that EU was warning since many years. Instead the brexiteers seems to blame EU for bullying UK. They are not able to understand that the EU is simply following the rules that were written by big influence of UK when UK was member of the EU. Actually now I hope that the Christmas deal will be dumped and the WTO terms will come in place. Otherwise EU will be the scapegoat for the brexiteers forever. Better to zero the situation, start from scratch and build a up new relationship from the basics. Some years with WTO terms would show what the benefits of trade agreements are. And the scapegoating the EU for everything might finally end.

Of course we have our problems and it takes a lot of effort to stay United with 27 countries. But hey...the UK is struggling to stay united with only 4 countries speaking the same language! Level playing field, Free trade and fish were the big issues for the EU and they won it all. Brexit is history, the EU and UK can now move on.

I am missing the description and scope of potential losses within sectors, industries in the EU. I do not think that these losses are significant, but it would have been interesting to put a number on it.

City firms revealed in the final months of 2020 that they planned to shift nearly £100bn in assets to the EU, taking the total value of assets lost to the bloc since the Brexit vote to £1.3 trillion, according to a new survey.
The data from consulting group EY pointed to a last-minute push by firms before 31 December after the UK-EU trade deal did not offer concessions for the UK’s dominant financial services sector. It forced companies to move staff and assets to the continent in order to continue serving EU customers. According to EY’s latest Brexit tracker, which covered the period from October 2020 to February, firms have shifted or declared plans to move approximately £500bn worth of those assets in the last two years alone.
Goldman Sachs was among them, having shifted around $40bn-$60bn (£29bn-£43bn) worth of assets to its Frankfurt operations at the end of 2020. It has also emerged that JP Morgan Chase was planning to relocate €200bn (£173bn) worth of assets to Germany as part of its own Brexit preparations. It is understood that process is still going on.
London was dealt a blow last month after separate data showed Amsterdam had overtaken the UK capital as Europe’s largest share trading centre. That was due to EU rules that require shares traded in euros to be traded on EU exchanges or in countries with special “equivalence” status - which has not been granted to Britain.
Can't blame them for their bias, they just lost a huge contributer, the UK will be fine, we will have our sovereignty and maybe Canzuk as well, and as many other trading partners that we can find, no more EU saying no.
@Clec Torres Of course not. We (Germany) wished the UK would stay in the EU and DW is the official international broadcaster of Germany. And of course your outlook is grim, the only deal acceptable too us (the EU) was a deal that would show every other country how important the EU is. And this deal will archive that no matter how much more Boris and the rest of your government will lie about it. But hey, maybe I'm wrong and there's a magic money tree in the UK. It would be the perfect time for another 350 million pounds a week to the nhs.
@@joshualand5330 We are already benefitting and it's only just the beginning. Watch the next few years of growth, of our pre-EU growth rates, the things we do differently, the value of common law over canon law, the value of liberty. Germany dominates the EU at the expense of others, at the expense of innovation in multi-sectors. Now Germany is the insurer for every poorer country around it that has sacrificed themselves for Germany economic dominance. German people deserve better. Anyone can make quasi-socialism work for a few decades. The British system has worked for centuries. Maybe, just maybe, there is a lesson to learn from us there.
I moved from the UK almost 40 years ago but all my family still lives there. I wish people in the UK would start focusing on the positive instead of the negative. There’s just too much negativity in general. People in British territories have no reason to complain, they only hold on to the ties because of the financial benefit it brings. On a day to day basis they likely don’t even think about the UK.
You make it sound like blind faith will get us through this. Find us some sources that suggest brexit is going to be beneficial to the UK. Shall we start with the government's impact assessment of the deal? What's that, they're refusing to publish it? 🤔
The political-institutional fiasco puts the representativeness of the Conservative Party, with its Victorian-era mentality and attitude, with dubious legitimacy, vehemently and since the ill-fated Brexit, at the head of the British government, it is a disastrous succession of failures, inattentions and scandals. It is therefore necessary for British citizens to demand new parliamentary elections soon for the sake of Democracy.

Remainer here: I almost fell off my chair when I saw the Brexit vote result. I went on the huge protest marches in London after. Brexit has proved every bit as bad as I feared. Those who voted leave appear to me, to be bashful and shy in proclaiming the joys of Brexit, these days.

Brexit was never like a divorce. The EU kept saying that it didn't want the UK to leave and the EU doesn't have to divide up its assets and give the UK half, so not a divorce going on at all.
Nonsense. Britain loses out, becomes a small insignificant island grouping off the coast of mainland Europe. Europeans are more likely to pity the British than agree with them. As shown in the report, some EU countries have gained from brexit, but what has the UK gained? I'm still waiting to hear/see/read any benefit whatsoever from brexit for the UK. Keep in mind the lies told (no more red tape) and the manoeuvres used (Cambridge Analytica) to accomplish the hood-winking of enough uneducated or greedy or xenophobic brits. What was the real purpose of brexit? In my opinion it was to try to weaken the EU and cause chaos in the UK. It has worked perfectly where the UK is concerned, but I think, as the man said, the UK is a shining example of leaving a good situation and entering a terrible one and therefore an excellent deterrent to any other EU country. It's much better to be in the club than outside the club.

Well you have less of yours, as the EU has cut down your quotas, but Spain is benefiting, they are better at hiding the quota cheating, hidden fish holds, to help protect the fish stocks 😂 is your fishing fleet getting bigger or smaller? 🤔 Your fish stocks will be.

The fish stocks will be protected against the factory ship's, the fish stocks will be managed by the UK. Looking at the Mediterranean sea, the EU is ignoring the problems, one day the fish stocks will disappear. Moving onto Irish fish stocks next. We'll not be able to sell you any 😂
It was about control of the borders not waters alone. If Cameron had been listened too by Brussels perhaps the referendum would have gone the other way.
The EU is currently over fishing 😂 so eventually you'll have no fish stocks.
The UK fish stocks will not go away, the UK fishing fleet is small. So what exactly are we going to lose?

Brexit was a political decision not an economics decision.
Yup.
Yet economics can break the back of any politics...
As long as the result is the end of the UK
The Uk was the second highest contributor to the EU budget. Politics and economics share a convergent highway
The economic where ignored but they where vastly greater . A Trillon Pound loss since 2K and therefore a near £2 Trillion debt .
I can see more and more people who are British or from British territories have been denied a vote even though it also affects them. I am one of the many EU British residents who have also been denied a vote. Whatever the outcome a basic principal should be to allow all areas where British and British territories exist should have been allowed a vote. A BASIC principal of democracy.I would have voted remain.
As a UK citizen I will now be affected by laws made in the EU - do you think I should be allowed a vote in those debates? No, don't be silly.

England never really bought in to the European Project - EU membership was seen as a transaction rather than a commitment from the heart to mutual security and prosperity. There was a truculence born from a mindset of British exceptionalism - we might have stepped out of 'colonial robes' and status as a super power but not the associated mindset or at least not for oldest third of the population to which I belong. We are now faced with digesting a lot of humble pie and coming to terms with the grim consequences - an embarrassing reversal only achievable over 10 or more years or the disintegration of the UK. A fractious social and political environment is unavoidable.

One aspect is the role of the EU as the scapegoat for UK. The EU was always blamed for the domestic problems of the UK.
Unfortunately this still goes on as many people in the UK do not understand that the rules for 3rd countries apply to UK as well. They seem to have problems to accept that UK has no special status - that UK is not something that should get special treatment.
There was the Christmas deal with UK and EU, showing that UK got anyhow some better conditions than it could have had. The UK avoided horribly bad situation that no deal WTO-level situation would have caused.
Unfortunately many brexiteers do not seem to be able to understand that this is the situation that EU was warning since many years. Instead the brexiteers seems to blame EU for bullying UK. They are not able to understand that the EU is simply following the rules that were written by big influence of UK when UK was member of the EU.
Actually now I hope that the Christmas deal will be dumped and the WTO terms will come in place. Otherwise EU will be the scapegoat for the brexiteers forever.
Better to zero the situation, start from scratch and build a up new relationship from the basics. Some years with WTO terms would show what the benefits of trade agreements are. And the scapegoating the EU for everything might finally end.
Great comment
I sense something fishy with this deal
Thanks cambridge analytica
I think I recognise that border crossing - it looks like Mullan Mill, between County Monaghan (my county) and Tyrone. The BBC newsnight team also showed up there. Haha.
What I objected to with cheap foreign labour was that the tax payer topped up their low wages with tax credits, the company should have paid them a decent wage in the first place!
And cheap British labour, which was most of it, and working single mums, people like that.
That wasn’t the EU forcing the British government to do that.
By "City of London" do they mean London or the weird ancient tax loophole "City of London"?
Second
The tax loophole
The financial aspect of London; ‘the square mile’ traditionally focused around the Bank of England, and the old trading and commerce heart of the former core of Britain’s economy. That small area, stuffed full of Suits and businesspeople and skyscrapers - at least until Covid - is The City of London, with the sprawling other 95% of the city being just London.
The latter where even The Queen needed permission to enter.... lolz
The tax loophole
one sided drivel
well are there any facts and figures youd like to dispute with your own sources? what about a trillion quid leaving the city? or car jobs going abroad? or a hundred thousand job shortages in the NHS? get back to us in a year or two and let us know how "taking back control" is going ben...
Take back control of UK waters and have no market for the catch...
And lose access to Norwegian waters, where the fish we like live.
No, it's no control of UK waters and no market for the catch😂
That is a ridiculous act of danger by going up on a forklift. I have seen for myself a forklift well serviced and the chain snapped with a Ford engine part on it. No one at the depot had seen this happen before. Don’t do it.
China, the US, and Russia are the winners, and maybe also Scotland independence.
Non of the above voted for brexit (except Scottish?)...
@@niklas5923 I meant they have no voting power except the Scottish whom are part of the UK. Well, who gain or lose they cannot complain since UK was given a choice & voted (even tho I feel the general public got the decepted by the politians of actual deals).
Not just Independent Scotland include United Ireland.
@@niklas5923 You must be kidding right. China caught up with you and left you behind so far you cant even see them. Whole europe got weak, not just the british and not because of foreign powers.

And with that a mighty cheer went up for the heroes of the UK, for they had banished the evil EU forever. Because it was haunted. And now for a cool, refreshing glass of turnip juice.
@@IAmTheStig32 I am framing this reply
23 super trawlers counted in UK waters, it's unsustainable. People are concerned about what they've already done to the fish stocks.
Fish less than 1/1000 of U.K. economy and on the same level as the departments store Harrods. If you are looking for a distraction that’s the one.
Fun fact. the English don’t eat the fish they say is so important, they sell it to the EU. the fish they eat is imported!
@@bokhans Prehaps the EU can help rename it 'the dead Sea' when they're finished.
The U.K. has overfished for 120 years.
lets think all uk companies are struggling to employ enough people, business are moving their firms to europe, uk lost great business deals arranged through EU now has to negotiate each from a weaker position, there are no wins for uk here
I see the People of the UK decided to leave the EU about 4 years ago.I just wonder if there was a vote
by the People of the EU 4 years ago,if they should like the UK to leave or not leave.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There's no need for one, it's painfully obvious. If the UK wasn't such a cash cow they'd of booted us out years ago.
Come up here in the North and we will tell you what we think, We voted Labour all our lives but enough was enough. Freedom of movement had turned our empoveraged towns and cities into Eastern European ghettos, people couldn't understand each other and the only place to turn was Nationalism turning the place into a war zone. We had terrorist attackers living down the street from us, ones you probably saw in the news across Europe, the EDL walking the streets beating people up. Alot of us thought we were on the brink of civil war before the Refurendum came.
Huge exaggeration
@@kaneramsey8191 Don't worry I wouldn't expect any of you to care. You were happy just plodding along inside the EU, You blame the rich but it was realy the working class that truly wanted Brexit but you don't want to look like your hitting downwards.
@@wakey87 I live in the North of England. The main problem, from a cultural integration stand point, are those from non-EU nations. EU immigration, has, for the most part, been of huge benefit to the UK. You've been manipulated, son. Those Europeans you hate so much will only be replaced by Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. Net immigration will continue to increase because there are labour shortages in pretty much every sector of the UK economy which cannot be filled by local labour.
@@benghiskahn3673 Im sure EU immigration has been good for the country, but when you live in the poor areas of the country, with cheap housing you never get to see these "best and brightest" you see romanian travellers and Eastern European gypsies. With 20k+ salary as a bare minimum our neck of the woods will hopfuly not be the dumping ground for the ones you don't want. And as for Labour shortages, Good! Maybe those people will be more sort after and paid more to stay, never mind about less dole dossers whacked out with no future of ever being able to get a job.
Many of us voted with our feet instead and moved to EU
And good riddance too!
@@mugfish0 thank you,I hope that you personally suffer greatly from your ignorance of the EU and being gullible enough to believe the lies peddled by Garbage,I've got a fantastic life here in Stuttgart,Covid limitations excepted where as there will be no UK in a few years and the whatever is left....Ingerland will be an economic and social wasteground 😂

@@fredexton4873 👏👏👏👏 Although it saddens me at the same time I think you are right. However I still feel that British citizens in EU during all of this process )as a result of UK government intransigence ) have ended up being completely ignored.

Brexit is a huge win for the EU. Surveys confirm citizens’ steadily growing support for the European Union since Brexit, even Marine "French Farage" Le Pen is now a remainer. Of course we have our problems and it takes a lot of effort to stay United with 27 countries. But hey...the UK is struggling to stay united with only 4 countries speaking the same language!
Level playing field, Free trade and fish were the big issues for the EU and they won it all.
Brexit is history, the EU and UK can now move on.
Excellent post.
Except the UK isn't struggling to stay united at all and only the delusion in the EU grows. Let me know where this level playing field is, or ECJ overruling UK law.
@@0penminds let me know when the UK put itself together, after 3 extensions and 3 PMs since the vote just 4 years ago.
Excellent synopsis
@@lanvin1982 It is together thanks, unlike the small group of consistant remoaners, most people in the UK can accept a result and move on, hence the 80 seat majority the government currently has. We are out of the EU, time to look forward and move on.
I am missing the description and scope of potential losses within sectors, industries in the EU. I do not think that these losses are significant, but it would have been interesting to put a number on it. For example a German exporter to the UK - is he tempted to just stop exporting and rather concentrates on the very big EU internal market?
No my friend we purchase a lot from Germany
A very big EU internal market in many cases is still not as big as what gets exported to the UK so go figure!
Some Dutch exporters already stopped their trade with the UK...
@@louis-philippearnhem6959 thats their loss!
@@louis-philippearnhem6959 do you know details or sources?
The UK has always been a Frankenstein within itself and brexit is pretty much seen as a British thing that may well be the end of it.
A highly successful Frankenstein. OH and ``British`` involves the whole of Ireland. Not much ``insights`` on that one. May well be,,,, if the Scottish believe the lying sturgeon.
@@marksavage1108 we "all" know the history of it and you certainly way better than me, we as well know what that " highly sucessful" means in all regards. Finally, are you sure the "whole Ireland" is not just whisful thinking from you?
Brexit was never going to be a car crash but a slow puncture.
In the history books, it will say that the UK traded away Northern Irland for fish in the great Christmas treaty of 2020
lol
Northern Ireland is not going anywhere
@@pfy2k correct, it’s the part not leaving the EU
Over 4 million EU citizens chose to stay in UK. But you won't hear that on stuff like this.
Out of curiosity, how many UK citizens decided to stay in the EU?
@@DG-ew9wb I have know idea, Google it, the point I'm making is these kind of facts just aren't discussed to try and give the idea that everything brexit it terrible. There's good and bad on both sides, just don't believe everything from one side.
@ionut2790 thanks dude😂
@ionut2790 correct...that is why the UK has agreed free trade deals with the EU and other countries.
Of course this has been reported. It has regularly been reported how many people applied for settled Status. But what exactly does that prove? Sure some might be super happy in the UK, but for many it won't be about politics but the fact that over the Last decades the UK has become their home. They have houses, partners, Jobs, Friends, etc. in the UK and it takes a lot to leave all that behind. And yet, many have done just that.
I'm Greek and I would fully support a Bremain but the EU is not only about economy. My country and Cyprus have been bullied by Turkey in the East Mediterranean but since Turkey is a partner of many member states, no sanctions are taken against them. Sod off EU
City firms revealed in the final months of 2020 that they planned to shift nearly £100bn in assets to the EU, taking the total value of assets lost to the bloc since the Brexit vote to £1.3 trillion, according to a new survey.
The data from consulting group EY pointed to a last-minute push by firms before 31 December after the UK-EU trade deal did not offer concessions for the UK’s dominant financial services sector. It forced companies to move staff and assets to the continent in order to continue serving EU customers.
According to EY’s latest Brexit tracker, which covered the period from October 2020 to February, firms have shifted or declared plans to move approximately £500bn worth of those assets in the last two years alone.
Goldman Sachs was among them, having shifted around $40bn-$60bn (£29bn-£43bn) worth of assets to its Frankfurt operations at the end of 2020.
It has also emerged that JP Morgan Chase was planning to relocate €200bn (£173bn) worth of assets to Germany as part of its own Brexit preparations. It is understood that process is still going on.
London was dealt a blow last month after separate data showed Amsterdam had overtaken the UK capital as Europe’s largest share trading centre. That was due to EU rules that require shares traded in euros to be traded on EU exchanges or in countries with special “equivalence” status - which has not been granted to Britain.
These guys dont want to hear facts. They just want to believe that "it will be good in the long term"
Oh, well...I love DW reports, but this one has to be taken with a huge grain of salt, since it is so biased in favor of the EU.
Can't blame them for their bias, they just lost a huge contributer, the UK will be fine, we will have our sovereignty and maybe Canzuk as well, and as many other trading partners that we can find, no more EU saying no.
@Clec Torres Of course not. We (Germany) wished the UK would stay in the EU and DW is the official international broadcaster of Germany. And of course your outlook is grim, the only deal acceptable too us (the EU) was a deal that would show every other country how important the EU is. And this deal will archive that no matter how much more Boris and the rest of your government will lie about it.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong and there's a magic money tree in the UK. It would be the perfect time for another 350 million pounds a week to the nhs.
What do you mean? Brexit is in favor of the EU. The EU is so much better than it was in 2015 and 2016. Brexit helped the EU.
@@eLeft6 I think your surname says a lot relating to your comment and the dat to support that in the EU.
@@joshualand5330 We are already benefitting and it's only just the beginning. Watch the next few years of growth, of our pre-EU growth rates, the things we do differently, the value of common law over canon law, the value of liberty. Germany dominates the EU at the expense of others, at the expense of innovation in multi-sectors. Now Germany is the insurer for every poorer country around it that has sacrificed themselves for Germany economic dominance. German people deserve better. Anyone can make quasi-socialism work for a few decades. The British system has worked for centuries. Maybe, just maybe, there is a lesson to learn from us there.
I moved from the UK almost 40 years ago but all my family still lives there. I wish people in the UK would start focusing on the positive instead of the negative. There’s just too much negativity in general. People in British territories have no reason to complain, they only hold on to the ties because of the financial benefit it brings. On a day to day basis they likely don’t even think about the UK.
You make it sound like blind faith will get us through this. Find us some sources that suggest brexit is going to be beneficial to the UK. Shall we start with the government's impact assessment of the deal? What's that, they're refusing to publish it? 🤔
The political-institutional fiasco puts the representativeness of the Conservative Party, with its Victorian-era mentality and attitude, with dubious legitimacy, vehemently and since the ill-fated Brexit, at the head of the British government, it is a disastrous succession of failures, inattentions and scandals. It is therefore necessary for British citizens to demand new parliamentary elections soon for the sake of Democracy.
This might sound rubbish but if you have an internet connection there are lots of free language lessons online, the only lifeline is to learn a European language and make you way out , england s an old dead body of the past, its like living in a mausoleum , i got out ,you can too , don't let them rob your youth and life.
