People Who Think BREXIT Never Really Happened Or It Was Not The Right BREXIT

- In response to my previous video in which I explained yet again the Madness of #brexit I received a number of comments from those who supported and who still believe Brexit was a good idea. It was believed by many Brexit supporters that it would restore our #sovereignty and that we would 'Take Back Control' from the #eu in #brussels
In fact we have lost sovereignty and are now subject to many EU rules over which we have no control or no influence.
Sadly #keirstarmer and the #labourparty appear to want to follow those, such as these commenters, who will never acept that Brexit was a massive self-inflicted disaster
Schrödinger's Brexit: Simultaneously Britain's sovereign choice and the EU's fault.🤦♂
This is what the British get for dumbing down the educational system, and Brexit is the result. This is similar to what the Republikkkon Party in the US is doing, and Trump is the result.
(Edit) P.S. The cat is not dead, but soon will be.
😀Love it! Thanks for making me smile.
Very good!
Clever!!
Sorry John, that’s way beyond their comprehension ability! “Schrödinger eh? Bloody foreigner!” 😂
Quite horrified, the number of idiots out there.
That's Brexiteers for you.
Yes, they tend to believe the political lies of the right-wing tory backing propaganda rags such as the Sun, Daily HateMail, and Daily Express.
Could not agree more. It’s astounding.
I'm running out of fingers to count them. Help ...
@@thetruth9210 Ok. Where is the £350 million a week to the NHS? You know, the money we saved from being in the EU? The promise that was emblazoned on the Vote Leave bus, if you recall. Where IS it? Where is the Levelling up touted by the leavers best mate Boris Johnson? The guy leavers gave an 80 seat majority in 2019? Where IS it? You can start with those two lies.
Hello from Germany. I can assure you that as far as the EU is concerned, Brexit has happened.
Genau ;)
Issso!
I mean yeah, the checks and everything were instated immediately. And with the whole world being hit by inflation and now 2 major conflicts no one except the Brits think about it anymore. Especially since it's like a decade ago now
This made me giggle, thanks!

Greetings from Germany!
It struck me to no end how little knowledge Brexiteers have about European inter governmental relations.
I wouldn't limit it to inter governmental relations. You need to think broader in those cases...any amount of critical thinking must have told them that was not a bright idea.
But alas...
@@RealMash very true🌷
It never ceases to amaze me how little the pro-EU faction know about how the EU actually operates. Some actually believe it to be democratic. Actually, they do have a point, the EU is democratic, only in the sense that the German Democratic Republic was democratic. No lesser person than Mikhail Gorbachev observed that.
@@sauermaischeyahoo7834 The EU is quite democratic though: the European Parliament is composed of MEPs who are directly elected by the EU citizens. Every five years elections are held in which EU citizens are able to elect MEPs to represent their views in the EU. A system of proportional representation is used to elect MEPs in all member states. As of the 2014 European Parliament elections the major political groups now nominate a lead candidate, or "Spitzenkandidat", for the President of the European Commission, who is then approved by the Parliament.
Is it perfect? No. Democratic? Yes it is. At least (if not more) as democratic as a certain country still using the archaic FPTP system: the only European country that also still uses this system is Belarus and that should tell you something. The fact that there are 800+ unelected MEP's in the House of Lords (with most members life peers at that) doesn't scream 'democracy!' either. Britons (assuming you're one) lecturing others on democracy is always funny to me. Something about living in glass houses and throwing stones.
The USSR's Supreme Soviet was elected, but no one would suggest that the USSR was democratic... (perhaps you would?).
The elected assembly has to wield power for the system it's part of to be democratic. The EU "parliament" doesn't wield power, so the EU is not democratic.
Heck, even Mikhail Gorbachev likened the EU system to that of the USSR (and he ought to have known).
The UK system has a unfortunate non-democratic element, which is why we in the UK can recognise undemocratic structures when we see them.
That's how we can see that the EU is even less democratic than is the UK.
“Brexit hasn’t happened” in UK sounds a lot like MAGA’s Trump is still president” here in the States.😆
They're cut from the same cloth, believe me. 🙂
The similarity of the arguments cannot be missed.
@@susannehartl3067 Neither can the similarities of the people making them...
If ignorance is bliss then these trolls must be ecstatic.
Who knows where the danger lies?
The public was told that the prospect of EU armed forces was "a dangerous fantasy". Today, the EU is establishing its own military.
The public was told that the UK would have a veto over any policy which its ruling clique didn't want.
Today, the EU is in the process of removing national vetos.
Those who wish the UK to be part of the EU are the sort of people who'd put their head into a guillotine on the promise that the blade would never be released.
So Brexit never happened. Perhaps I didn't lose my freedom of movement. As for the right Brexit, was that the one where I kept my freedom of movement?
We were better inside the EU tent pissing out than outside pissing in.
Uncle Michael, I am surprised you keep going. I would despair.
The bonkers Brexit brigade spout the same lines week after week. Brexiters and Trumpists have similar opinions.
Could we modify your comment from "mindset" to "opinions"?
I am nearly positive no part of their mind was involved...in case it exists at all.
Besides, imagine the torture to explain to them how the "cut and paste" command works?
Their handlers in the Barracks must have torn their hair out...
@@RealMash Point taken.
Listening to these comments is so depressing because i realise that these people are allowed to vote. Heaven help us all.
I quite agree. Those, who, after 8 years, are still disputing the result of the referendum, are clearly obsessed.
Obsession is a mental illness.
Since lunatics are not allowed to vote, they should all be removed from the electoral roll.
Too bad the UK/English education system doesn't teach logic or economics.
May be some of you, over there on the island will not know how the situation in Europe is after Brexit. The simple truth is. There is no difference. It's all the same as it was before and no one really cares about Brexit. There is no discussion or interest to talk about Brexit here. Some nerds like me are interested and a few people who, if asked may say it's a pity that they left but OK when they want it, fine. That's it. That is Brexit from an average European prospect.
As a european nerd i can agree. Daily life is good and nothing changed, even the energy prices are back to normal. I always like the british culture and enjoyed holidays there, with brexit nothing changed for me, passport controls been normal before.

Great work Michael. ❤
Thank you Nick 😊
I live in Australia so I'm definitely not fully knowledgeable about brexit. But on the surface it seems to me that you have cut yourselves off from one of the largest trading blocs on earth and I'm just wondering how that is supposed to work out better for the majority. I'm thinking maybe nationalistic fervour isn't the best answer to a country's problems. Anyway, all the best and cheers from Aus.
Always a pleasure to hear from a smart and considerate gentleman like yourself.
Thank you very much.
Sadly, trolls are hard to avoid on the internet. Best to try and ignore them, IMHO.
Thank you @cptgone 😊
Michael,well said,,do not mind the FOOLS
For those Brexiteers who believe in the "wonderful benefits" of Brexit, all I can do is quote American comedian Ron White "You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever."
Talking of stupid... Here's a novel idea, how about you tell us why you think people who voted for Brexit are stupid, instead of just saying it. What's that? all you have is a totally unrelated comment from an American comedian? That's typical of pro-EU supporters. Nothing to say, and you call us stupid
🤣
Yes, that's all you can do because you have nothing useful to say other than quoting an American comedian on something totally non related 🤣

I love that you're reading out these comments. Reading them out loud somehow makes it sound even more ridiculous than just reading it. Keep it up, don't let the Russian bots and brainwashed people get you down, you're doing good work.

There are a lot of crazy people out there, Michael. Listening to this from Portugal (while writing software for a client in America) was hugely entertaining. 🤣
Thanks again, Michael. Have a great day, my friend.
Many a raw nerve touched today Michael.
Well done.
14:36 QuadQ something made my day as an EU Citizen 😂😂😂
The level of "Old Britannia" entitlement is over the roof. Watching someone in the act of shooting his own feet and knees, while looking at you, saying "see? It's all your fault".
Utterly amazing! 🤔
Listening to these inane comments that you receive from these economically-illiterate people is depressing indeed. You deserve a medal for putting up with them! I get simian insults when I post anti-Brexit and pro-EU comments in the comments sections of the Telegraph. Most of the Telegraph's readers think that Brexit was just fine and dandy, and that ut has been a rip-roaring success. When I point out the foolhardiness of their thinking, here come the insults!
The sort of people who voted for Brexit are the sort of people who never leave their home towns: insular, narrow minded and usually angry at the world.
France is fantastic: here they have CITIZENS, We are treated as human beings, not National Insurance numbers.
After. 60 years as a competing customer of UKGov Plc, for me, the difference is FELT everywhere, but unseen- apart from the paperwork....

Sadly, although my French wife can literally take a day trip to Switzerland or Italy, or even a long weekend in Spain, I, like the rest of the Brits, currently need to apply, well in advance, for various permissions, proof of return/accomodation etc etc, accumulate paperwork, receipts, passport dates.
Is this what Boris meant when he said getting rid of red tape?
@@oswaldmathias6371 ??? Maybe I should know that cause I’m living here too … no, France is not burning… just some issues with délinquants and strikes that’s all … as in the UK ! But here strikes are maybe more violent than in the UK due to our past …and also the medias emphasize a lot …as always .
If there ever was any widespread corruption in the EU then UKIP did their utmost to contribute to it. Their expense fiddling was legendary.
If the UK had a democratic voting system, then the `less informed` would play a very small part in forming the UK parliament. But however, as things are today today; the `less informed` have too much influence in general-elections.
Mr Lambert , keep your chin up . Don’t let those with Neanderthal tendencies get you down .

I've recently had gearbox issues with my VW camper. The part I need has to be ordered from Germany. Previously it would have been posted and received the following day, now; it takes 10 days and is double the cost...............Brilliant Brexit!
I ordered a wall mural from a company in Poland, pre Brexit, it arrived six days later. Post Brexit, I ordered another, it took 11 weeks and cost me an extra £80 import duty.
I am British but live in Germany .Renewed my passport on line No appointments for overseas scum .Cost a fortune .OK From UK my details were processed and sent to Poland for my passport to be created .All UK passports are .So mine is now in UK but nobody knows were.DHL will have to bring it to me as Royal mail doesn't enter Germany .Living in Berlin I could have picked it up myself in Poland but hey why should life be common sense .
Well their industry has been massively hit by energy price hikes and insecurity, in part caused by the USA destroying Nordstream. They have increased bills due to diminished receipts from the UK and greater social costs from immigration, so expect further cost increases if you buy from the EU. Also, you are complaining about Brexit because a German brand car is defective and the German supply chains have become sloppy.
Exactly! Well done for pointing out how difficult the EU makes it for the 7.5 billion people not in the EU to buy products from the EU. This is why the UK has got out of the EU to offer a better service to other markets.
That first comment you read out is priceless! Well, they all are actually. Brexit gold! These "thought-challenged" comments are meant in all seriousness, by their authors. As the saying goes, "they walk among us"
I am curious as to what has to happen to a person to become so oblivious to objective reality. Is it that they deliberately surround themselves with ignorance and propaganda, do they deliberately drown out the truth, do they submerge themselves with the idiocy of others they know that are just as stupid? The truth is bleedingly obvious to those with eyes and ears, unless you lock yourself away and only focus on only the opinion rags, also called "news" papers, and even then they only read the headlines. The hard of thinking are everywhere, but are they just ignorant or actually stupid? Can they be educated? Well, for many, no. Michael makes a perfectly good and articulate message for all of us that watch his videos, and it is objectively correct that we have all be utterly shafted by Brexit and this Tory government. And if you so strongly disagree with his topics of discussion, his pointing out of facts, and his opinions, then WHY THE CUK are you even here? Go paint a cave wall.
To Michael - keep the videos coming. You're a legend.
Thank you @leenob 😊
6:58 Well, over here in Canada, we had that same two-year slowdown, we've had inflation, and we've taken in roughly a million people in the past two years. We're doing great. But then, we didn't flush our trade relationship with our biggest trading partner down the toilet. Hmm. Maybe that IS the determining factor, huh?
maybe you "biggest trading partners" deal didnt included unlimited immigration visa free from these countries, did it?
i bet it didnt!
For the 'Brexit never happened' fraction, i would like to repeat a short story i used during the referendum period...
A department in a big company has had a vote if they were to have the next christmas party in the office (as in the last year) or go out for a meal in a restaurant. 16 from 31 voted to go out for dinner.
After they had won, suddenly they started to fight if the group should go to an Indian or a Greek or an Italian restaurant - strangely nobody wanted something English and of course they demanded that the colleagues who had wanted to stay at the office had to support their own preference and called them traitors if they refused and did point out that they were not for the restaurant idea to begin with.....
Beginning of December from the 16 'let's go out' one had died from a heart attack and two had found better jobs in other companies. On the morning of the 24th, they were still arguing...
It's not stupidity, it's ignorance, xenophobia and a bit of grand delution. We saw it with Brexit, we see it in the US, and we've seen it again and again through history.
According to audited accounts the EU had about 5% of its funds un-accounted for each year. The figure is 15% for the UK.
Keep up the great work Michael. Don't worry about the Reform UK posters .
Wow Michael thanks for sharing those emails and messages it's made our mid week here in Europe ,ie Spain we are always up for a good laugh 😅. I didn't realise how many dim people were in England 😅 . It seems many people leaving comments dont even know where Europe is let alone how it works. An extremely sad situation situation. Keep up the good work exposing dim wit politicians and morons. Muchos Besos Todos. X 🇪🇦.
Man you truly would be shocked at the amount of dim wits we have here. They are still clinging to Great Britain of yesteryear. If we really look back at the poverty of that time, was it really that bloody great.
The political ignorance of the English electorate is utterly staggering! 😡
Moronic beyond belief, ffs 🤷♂️
Go down and see the fucking ignorance of the Scottish iain he first mentioned, my fucking god.
You only have to read the comments section of the Daily Mail and Sun to realise that.
It’s also exhausting. If you get into a debate and the facts start to break through, one of two things happen. Either it goes silent and they start using the fake sound bites somewhere else or they resort to insults because a few working brain cells are telling the stubborn part of the brain they are wrong and it hurts.
brexit has happened - passport needs stamping now. Total buffoons.
But they are blue!
@@Mozart69938 And made in Poland by a *French* company *rofl*
Ah but not for much longer. Surely you know we are going through a rapid technological change right now. Stamps in passports will be gone soon. I go through e-gates in many countries now, including the UK.
With regards to the comments about the environment, it is noteworthy that a native American uttered the following.
"When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all waters are poluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you can not eat money ".
Thanks Michael, a good talk
Thank you Michael 😊
Dearie me, I don't know how these people manage to dress themselves in the morning 😂
poorly.
I'm still an EU citizen, even after 54 years in Britain. I can't see one positive gain from BREXIT, just decades of economic damage and lost opportunities because of it. My relatives, from four EU countries, asked me in 2017 "What on earth did they do it for? Did they all go mad?"
In 5 or 10 years I hope Britain gets a chance to rejoin the EU. But I suspect it will be a very difficult and costly process. In part because it's been a deeply damaging economic disaster for everyone in Britain.
I'm a Brit living in Austria. Brexit hasn't affected me at all. So! To me the EU isn't perfect it's dealing with 27 countries with different ways of life and therefore it can't be perfect for all. But the only way to change something is not to walk away but to stay and work at changing what you disagree with. The other item I often hear is about rejoining the EU but the EU has 27 countries in it with 3 more waiting to join. So will they want the UK back? 🤔
The way to change something for yourself, is to go your own way.
Why would anyone wish to impose their will on 26 others? That's not nice.
Even if the EU member states wanted the UK to join (there is no such thing as rejoining, we would have to apply as a new member) we would be very much at the back of the queue.
These people are angry because they own this mess
They never do. No leaver EVER takes responsibility for their idiotic vote.
All of these daft comments are, in a strange way, a complement to your channel, Michael. You're ruffling a few feathers, exposing the truths of 'The Madness of Brexit,' and folk just don't like hearing the truth about what is happening to the country from someone who knows exactly what is happening. Best wishes to you from Iowa, as always, and keep them coming, because you have a lot of people who enjoy hearing your expertise and knowledge.
Thank you very much Chris 😊
@@MichaelLambert1 It's my pleasure, Michael. I listen to your videos every week, as it's novel to get such an honest and knowledgeable opinion, given how this awful mess has impacted your own business, which not many of the daft commentators on here know or can even accept. I doubt any of these folks have ever had a business that deals with international sales and taxes, so they know nothing...or only what they read in the DM, etc. 🤔
I admire your ability to hold on and not laugh (or scream!) out loud at some of these totally ridiculous comments! Glaring examples of a total lack of critical thinking skills. I remember before the Internet when I thought stupidity was down to people simply lacking enough information to arrive at fully considered conclusions … turns out it wasn’t that at all!!!!! 😵💫
I was on the Internet before AOL ruined it...we thought it would bring enlighted minds together, but then it was the village idiots telling each other they were right...
Thanks Michael.From the "sick" man to the "thick" man.Un bloomi´n believable.

Michael as you probably know, but it sounds like some others don't appreciate. The EU's primary purpose was to keep peace in Europe. That was Churchills motivation, I wonder what he would have thought of us achieving his goal only for Britain to jump back out to become sovereign outside of the EU?
For me there is a simple message "that you need to be in it to influence it", however we simply pulled up the draw bridge blamed all the wrong people for the effect of austerity and then withdrew back to little Britain.
It seems there are many inward looking small minded people who cant see how the world is developing around us and how irrelevant Britain is today.
USA & UK spent 20 years developing and exploiting the Chinese industry whilst destroying British industry and now we are on our own having lost the skills that were once abundant in Britain.
You can probably count the number of large British business on one hand, most products made in Britain are for foreign owned businesses.
What do we uniquely have that has to be uniquely bought from Britain?
Please don't let all the negative comments get to you. Brexit was the biggest case of self harm that a country could do to its self...apathy and ignorance prevails unfortunately, one day our so called leaders will see the light and do what is right for the British people instead of leading us down a political black hole!
The copium and excuses from these people is embarrassing .

We in Brum had no say in Cadbury chocolate becoming American, with profits and taxes going to America. Where was our sovereignty then?
We in UK had no say in ARM becoming American, with profits and taxes going to America. Where was our sovereignty then?
*There is no such thing as sovereignty* - we can only do what other people will accept us doing, not what we choose to do. But with Brexit we have made the decision to have no part in influencing what other people will accept.

Well Michael, you really do read the comments. Poor you. At a remove, they’re hilarious, yet weirdly alarming. Thanks for the giggles.
The thing these people never seem to understand, is that the EU isn't punishing the UK, it's just acting in its own self interest, and not doing the UK any special favors. The UK has no forms of leverage to get more special treatment, and doesn't have the abillity to gain any.
...enacting rules for third party countries that were written with UK input and not vetoed by it. And any goodwill the UK might have had to get special treatment was used up by its governments scandalous behavior...

@@Aldo_Regozzani It's quite funny really. People getting upset, that the EU is not treating the UK like it's more powerfull than the EU itself, and letting the UK do whatever it wants.

I often wonder about the backstory of these people and where they are writing from (presumably from within the UK)...and if there are any repeating patterns. I see crap like it in quite a few YT channels I tune into. I often think it's the 'not so silent minority' just mirroring something that might have flashed up somewhere online (delivered by a Rees-Mogg)...or maybe on the front page of a right-wing rag...and if they shout write loudly enough, they think they might actually be on to something. It's a bit fascinating but really quite disturbing at the same time.

Thanks for another excellent video, Michael. "EU economies are all basket cases?". Really? As an honest English gentleman living in Alicante, I can tell you the Spanish economy is doing very well, and under a Socialist Government. Inflation is lower, and Spanish property prices are rising.
As a Welsh gentleman living in Portugal, ditto.

Me too! Essential listening here in Glasgow. I'm sure Michael's brand has travelled far and wide.
I applaud your patience in dealing with these idiotic comments. Thank you for highlighting the stupidity of Brexit and the actions of our government.
It's Michael's calm, deliciously sardonic demeanour that I enjoy the most. One of my favourite political commentators has been the magnificent (now retired) Eddie Mair. Michael's vibe reminds me of Eddie at times. Without raising his voice, he could effortlessly slice interviewees into numerous pieces. A witless Johnson and Truss (on various occasions) immediately spring to mind. It was almost cruel!
You are doing something right if you can get under the skin of people who think Brexit was good
"You cannot reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into." This classic quote is what always comes to mind when i discuss with any "brexiteers" or any conservative in general
Thanks Michael, as ever!
It must be very awkward to have earnestly and loudly supported something that time has revealed to have been an utter catastrophe
One can imagine how it must feel now to have once been a very active and ardent member of the Jimmy Saville Fan Club.
Earnest Brexiteers must feel roughly as proud of their antics now that the disastrous effects of “Brexit” have become obvious.
Most people would be eager to hide their perversions, but, apparently the pro-EU faction don't subscribe to doing that, which only proves their total degeneracy and depravity.

It's simple: when you want to matter as a middle-sized country in a globalised world, when you want to have a seat at the table with the big players (US, China, a future India) and have a say in things, you form a union with other middle-sized and small countries in your neighbourhood. So you can have a seat at the big table as a union. If you choose to leave that union, there's only place left for you at one of the small tables. Where you're reduced to being a rule-taker with hardly any leverage. And where the big players will s(h)it on you, whenever they feel like it.
You are at lunch with the big guys, or you are the lunch.
Well done Michael for putting these insights together. Most informative. I go along with the notion from Ex Pm John Major..Brexit is like having a ball and chain attached to your ankle. That is what we have done to the UK.
You have my admiration Mr.Lambert with the way you handle all this idiocy so calmly, keep up the good work
What!? By labelling anyone who doesn’t agree with traitors such as himself as “thick”!?
@@newblackdog7827 A traitor is someone who knowingly harms his own country to the benefit of another country. If we apply that definition, Michael doesn't harm his own country by his video's, nor does any other country benefit from it. Your use of the term traitor thus doesn't apply to Michael.
If we apply this defintion to brexiteer politicians, it might be more appropriate.
UK is tangibly worse off since brexit, so their own country is harmed. Russia tries to divide Europe, which brexit accommodates. So it also tangibly benefits another country. Given the fact that those same politicians refuse to publish the Russie-report on Russian influence in British politics, does suggest that the "knowingly" part also applies. Certainly considering the fact that the leave campaign was partly financed with Russian money and a Russian businessman and son of a KGB-officer got a seat in the House of Lords.
Thanks John 😊

Traitor: a person who betrays someone or something, such as a friend, cause, or principle.
Michael would very happily see the U.K. subsumed within a “United States of Europe”. He wouldn’t be concerned to see the nation state destroyed and all of the hard won rights & liberties Englishmen fought for for centuries evaporate. The term “traitor” is directly applicable to Michael & his ilk.
Where’s this “harm” that the U.K. has suffered? You have no evidence whatsoever, all of the Remain prophecies of doom having failed to materialise.
There has been, and never was any “Russian interference” in the referendum. That was one of the excuses trotted out by Remainers post referendum to try to excuse their own incompetence! “If only the nasty Russians hadn’t led people astray Remain would have won” Utter bollocks! 🤣
Anyone that still thinks Brexit is a good idea should see a psychiatrist immediately.
You should seek help. We left the EU a long time ago, get over it gor christ sake.
@@user-uc8jo4nq1pMaybe you could give half a dozen benefits of Brexit ?
When does the NHS get the £350,000,000 a week that was promised?
@@user-uc8jo4nq1p🤡🤡🤡
@@user-uc8jo4nq1p Your obsession to offend clearly tells me it's you that requires help.
@@user-uc8jo4nq1p another Brexit cultist unable to face the fact that he was conned.
I still feel bad for Scotland, first they got cheated in the independence vote and then got taken out of the EU against their will anyway 😢
They had a vote on both .They where never forced. Why feel sorry for them.
As my friends across the pond say "there's no fixin' stupid"
Duct tape can´t fix stupid, but it muffles the sound.
Absolutely enjoy your vids Michael. Superb content including wonderful ripostes to comments, keep up the good work
Many thanks! 😊
Net immigration into UK running at 750,000+. I'm so happy that the British people have 'taken back control'. I am also glad to see that as a result of the extra £250m per week our NHS is thriving & managing to keep waiting times for operations to just a year or two! Brexit is doing as well as I thought it would do. Is it any wonder people in Scotland want Independence when the 'Turkey's ' of England & Wales vote for Christmas.
I'm Australian I have always found you UK lot extremely funny.
I’m French and thinking the same with all those comments 😂 really stupid but funny people 😂😂 but the UK is in a real mess, and I’m not laughing at the ones who suffer at all 😔
@@Iain1962not as much as yours 😂 we live pretty well, and it’s a habit here to have strikes and some issues like that . But we live pretty well and no shortage on our shelves, we don’t have to wait for long for an appointment in the hospitals… some issues like other countries …. and you know, I can’t have a real discussion with brexiteers that don’t want to see the evidence . I don’t want to waste my time with them . Have a nice day 😉
I've had this conversation with my neighbour about brexit he insists it didn't happen and the conversation usually ends with Gordon Brown sold all the gold and this government gets off the hook .He also wants mogg and farage in charge... I give up!
Brown did sell our gold. Its a fact.....
Diversification of assets a common practice and he didn't sell it all small change to north sea oil and the tens of billions the Tories have squandered ....and what's it got to do with brexit .
@@user-uc8jo4nq1p lol you Mr Bot were utterly destroyed just then 😂 pwned!!!!
"Brexit never happened." - I suggest you go on holiday in a EU country... you'll see at the airport if Brexit has happened or not.
It's more of the same, really. Brexit voters were conned. And now they either have to admit to themselves that they were conned, or they have to double down and insist they were never conned.
169 countries outside the eu 27 were not conned into a trade deal with free movement of people were they?
"brexit voters were conned"-
-says to a guy workin a blue collar job, in a factory where it is full of ppl who dont speak english, and his pay hasnt been increased for 15 years due to the eu free movement conveyor belt of cheap labour..
yeah right.. conned.. in 1974
Hilarious if rather tragic .What ever is wrong with people ? The aggression , vulgarity expressed via what I take was "English " .Amazing how most foreigners minus or with a little boat can speak much better English . Yes it is a small percentage and loathing is their hobby .Sadly & as the saying goes " Poison comes in little bottles ".They have failed but others are to blame .I had to renew my British Passport this month .Where is it produced I ask all Brexit lovers ? .Not in UK .Nope in Poland. A nugget of nonsense .Many thanks Michael for a superb ready made comedy show :-)
Thank you Helena 😊
Love from Scotland Oor. Mike

As a EU-citizen I am so glad that Britain is OUT and GONE. LONG LIVE THE 🇪🇺 🇪🇺 🇪🇺
😂
Thank you Michael, I’m laughing heartily in the balmy evening heat.

The UK always had sovereignty. It freely voted in the Tories for most of the past 45 years.
Not in Scotland where the Tories have not had a majority since the 1950s.
Brits voting for Brexit was like turkeys voting for Christmas.
Really? I thought the Remain voters got plucked and stuffed...
Another enlightening content from you, Mike. I’m not in the least religious, however I did recall a phrase and looked it up. It’s from Proverbs 11:29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise in heart.
Not sure that helps. And those who say that Brexit hasn’t happened may well be right. I have a feeling it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Geoff, from Fremantle, Western Australia🇦🇺🦘
Thank you Geoff - nice quote. You are right, it is going to get a lot worse. Things are already very difficult for many people 😊
After the referendum, GB is a divided country. I feel very sorry for those who voted to remain in the EU. I address them: know that we, European citizens, are not happy about this either. We feel close to you anyway. 👋☺️
I am a European citizen and I couldn't be happier about England being outside. They never contributed anything positive.
Thanks for giving people like me SO MUCH FUN in the comments, Michael 😂 🎉🇨🇵🇪🇺. +1
Your best CZcams broadcast so far. I am amazed how many people still read the Daily Hate and The Daily Express.
Michael talks sense unlike m any of those who write to him.
Listen to the privileged sod. He's never done a day's work in his life.
Well said as per usual Michael. You are one of the few oasis of truth in a desert of outright lies, intentional obfusion, and ignorant denial. Keep up the good work. Greatly appreciated. Ivan
Thank you very much, Ivan 😊
The shortage of food is starting to show, I grew up in the sixties with food shortages when we joined the eu it was a blessing. Farage and borris and may were the people to ruin our economy
I believe May was a Remainer. And I know, so was Boris, but he realized there was more personal gain for him in switching to Camp Leave, and he was right about the personal gain. Unfortunately, he underestimated his incompetence and lost what he had wanted all along.
Either way, Farage en Johnson both have plenty money, so they don't care one iota about food shortages.
What food shortages???
uk only imports 28% from the Eu.
uk had grain mountains, and butter mountains, and milk lakes in the uk in the early 80s. there are period docos on it on you tube. these cannot be fudged, or faked.
you tube "price of food common market , thames tv "money go round" circa 1977
there you will see the real documentary, un fudged, un faked , with real reportedrs with a tv station with accountability, not some hack in his basement.
uk food prices went *UP!*
its all there, and the food mountains in uk documentary, warehouses filled to the rafters.
@jonsimmons4150 The UK imports 28% of food from the EU is first, meaningless, and second, really very large.
And there were food mountains in the EU in the 1980s - in the 1980S! They disappeared decades ago.
Third, food prices did go up, but so did the quality of the food.
Brexit was so obviously wrong/bad/stupid from just a basic examination it boggled the mind.
You didn’t even need a basic examination.
From the Brexit camp. We were never told what we were voting for, only what we were voting against.
The headlines for the previous 20 years read like a series of April 1st headlines. (Playgrounds, bent bananas, topless beaches, 100s of others)
The biggest advocates were known tax evaders and xenophobes.
Those 3 things were shouting, “don’t trust the message.”
I remember saying, “I am voting remain, let them come back with a proper plan in 4 years time and I might look again.”
I crashed into the ground, because I didn't jump off the cliff.
I visited the U.K. prior to Brexit. When I asked what Brexit was about, I was told that E.U. farmers were dictating to the U.K. what it could grow and sell. That seemed a bit odd, so I enquired further. Apparently, British farmers have so many legal restrictions on where and how food may be grown and sold that there exists a severe economic disadvantage to everyone's ability to distribute and purchase goods. I suggested that the problem was not with the E.U. but with a 19th century understanding "scarce resources" and "competitive advantage". No, I was told. Brexit would keep the "foreigners" out of their country. Building a wall to keep "them" out makes as much sense: none.
You are absolutely correct Mr Lambert 👍👍👍.
