Let’s face it, if Brexit was a success, the Tories would never shut up about it. The fact that it’s never, ever mentioned, speaks volumes.
Exactly. Even some tory MP's have called for a closer relationship with the EU.

Short answer: Because it was a massive fuck up and nobody wants to deal with it or it's repercussions.
Negative, brexit is the achillies heel of a political career. If labour or lib dems go after it to rejoin then they will lose the election. The majority of the regular folk and plebs that would never in their life spend a single second watching this channel or learning about simple economics dont care they love to blame some single thing for their woes. As soon as someone mentions rejoining the plebs would rally round the opposition.
Labour have a near enough sure thing playing how they are playing it now.
No evidence given in your emotional answer.
@@bulltraderptlol, look at the state of the UK, that’s enough proof
Can't argue with that...
@@visorij3374 So your naive enough to think knife crime, the woke mind virus, no one stopping small boats, the lack of housing etc etc, is all to do with Brexit? Mmmm. Perhaps listen to video again.
Ensuring none of the other EU members want to leave (others queuing up to join). That's the only benefit of Brexit.
That's true, it is funny how the extreme right groups on the continent that were shouting for EU exit have gone very quiet on the subject since the consequences for the UK have manifested.
Uk leaving = 19 smaller countries leaving.
Watching the Politcs program on BBC I couldn't believe my ears when the Vaccine Rollout was still being touted as a Brexit benefit.
and we laugh watching and listening propaganda from other countries, its almost like listening to one of those carrier advisors, ... and remember turn your failures into a success... seem noone have any moral guilt anymore
You mean the vaccine rollout where we effectively jumped the queue as opposed to wasting time sitting in an E.U. committee?
@@loc4725 and remember how that anti-competition, anti-innovation committee panicked and bad-mouthed the AZ vaccine? One of many things that made me regret voting Remain.
@@gillymccyber1927the UK itself has a class action lawsuit against the AZ vaccine.
@@gillymccyber1927 *"and remember how that anti-competition, anti-innovation committee panicked and bad-mouthed the AZ vaccine?"*
Astra Zeneca is a British pharmaceuticals business, so no surprise there.
If their were any benefits you would be hearing about it all the time. JRM, Farage and Johnson would be reminding us everyday.
There was no EU up until the mid 20th century and the UK did not bad prior to that.
@@Ligerpride We were literally called the 'sick man of Europe' for years, unitl we joined up with the rest of Europe. The war decimated us. Read some history before commenting.
@@silvafox7719I'm pretty sure the IMF bailout did us some favours in that regard but anyway people, mainly on the remain-side seem to forget that E.U. interference in U.K. internal affairs was a big driver of the Brexit vote.
Ironically the rise of nationalist right-wing parties is actually dragging the E.U. in what Brexiteers might consider to be the right direction, with less internal interference and the possibility of an 'inner' federal and an 'outer' associate E.U.
The benefits are only for disaster capitalists so they can't mention it
@@Ligerpride Ah, the glory days of WW2 and the1950s that the crusty Brexiteers want to transport us back to. "I want my country back", we hear them cry nostalgically. More like I want to take my country back in time. Unfortunately, the modern world is a hard cold place that has no room for sentimental nostalgia for Empire. The Britain of 2024 is a small, isolated and declining power that still lingers onto its former glories and retains a false sense of superiority.
4:21 *Brexit did not lead to an increase in non-EU migration, because it has nothing to do with it.*
Instead, this immigration was the result of deliberate policies by the Conservative government, who CLAIMED it was needed to meet worker shortages, especially in the NHS. They also increased the number of student visas, initially allowing students to bring dependents with them, although this has since been changed.
These policies were intentional and pre-planned, but the government didn't mention them to the public at all, instead waiting until after Brexit was completed to implement them without warning. They're intended to replace the EU workers who left, but also to bring cheap labor into the country.
I’m glad someone else noticed.
So Brexit has nothing to do with an increase of non-EU immigration but at the same time you also say the government implemented policies to increase it to replace EU workers that left. You've just completely contradicted yourself there.
@@adamlea6339 the uk population had no mechanism to protest row immigration, but they used Brexit as a catch all protest vote
@@adamlea6339 Not at all. Brexit has nothing to do with non-EU immigration.
However, as a result of Brexit, EU immigration fell significantly. Additionally, many EU citizens already in the UK decided to leave, partly because of Brexit itself, but also because the government made it difficult for them to stay and/or because they no longer felt welcome. (Neither of which were inevitable, but a result of how Brexit was implemented.)
The government's (pre-planned) RESPONSE has been to increase non-EU immigration to compensate, instead of training & recruiting domestic workers or educating local students.
@@GonzoTehGreatlol theres so many courses and training out there. Nobody wants to work. Them immigrants dont come in fully trained. They pick a profession and do some shabby course and learn on the job
The medication shortages have been really bad in the past 2 years
There are shortages across the EU including Germany
@@matt49125proof?
This has nothing to do with EU membership. Remember lockdowns?! Yes they damaged supply chains
@@matt49125 my son needed a medication he had been taking for over 2 years but the consultant couldn't get hold of it last year because of Brexit. The consultant's secretary told me this and I have no reason to not believer her. He had to take an alternative which as close as possible to the original. So it wasn't a shortage, it was Brexit red tape preventing us from importing it. I'm guessing this is exactly what you voted for? If you did please explain to my son how he is now better off because of what you did.
Why does no-one *IN ENGLAND* want to talk about Brexit?
Plenty of people in *ENGLAND* want to talk about Brexit; it just isn't the priority right now.
Any one in Europe, can not buy anything in the UK because we get taxed on items from the UK market. So most people are not buying from the U.K. so unfortunately no income from Europe.
This is part of Boris Johnson's "No trade barriers" trade barriers. The UK is unfathomably not part of the E.U.'s "One Stop Shop" for V.A.T., so V.A.T. has to be paid by the _recipient_ and isn't collected by the selling business like it is in the E.U.
@loc4725 if i buy in the UK 🇬🇧 i must pay VAT. In some cases , i had to pay not just the VAT, but import taxes and i am in Ireland. Millions are put off buying from the U.K because of this, and Millions of U.K sellers are missing thousands of sales each month.
not just that, but you also miss the EU consumer protections.
@@ab-ym3bf Not so; the existing consumer protections were integrated into U.K. law post-Brexit and changes to things like requiring USB on the iPhone affect us as well.
169 countries outside europe, and the fact that some items will be more expensive will make UK goods more attractive, thus bringing income to UK for UK produce which was always penalised in the EU. instead of buying forrin everywhere, UK companies will flourish.. that's jobs aswell..

@@jonsimmons4150 When will Brexiteers every stop with the simplistic and facile comparisons between the UK and individual European countries. It's this kind of false exceptionalism - when in reality we're pretty similar in economic indicators.

The dreaded B word no one want to talk about. The model of trade that had supported U.K. or years whether we liked it or not left three massive trading blocks, US, Europe which we we were part of and China. We took anyone’s money be it dirty or clean and made our bit on the side. Tories have a bag of shot they can’t do anything with, so no point in waiting in government with them. I get labours stance, post 2016 brexit was becoming a malaise on people, they didn’t want to talk about it anymore. And labour can’t talk about it, cos it just splits the vote for election. In essence if can’t do anything about in opposition why talk about it. Tories are happy to let labour make the mistakes on it, it’s evident that the public don’t want to come back and have a second look. All labour can do is aline with EU trading standards in back rooms and show the benefits of alinement in the hope that this will shine thought at some stage. But PR needs to be addressed at home, before tackling the “elephant in the room” we can’t have these swing to the left and right every 5-10yrs, we need stability and a constant message, regardless of who’s in government. I don’t think labour will be our saviour, just a managed decline for the next 5yrs. Britain is conservative by its nature, it’s why over 60% of its time it’s been voted into power. But where conservatives run into problems is this free market capitalism runs up against a wall. You can’t have free market capitalism against an asset poor nation. From 1977 to 2008 England grew its productivity by 2.2% annually. In the last 15 yrs we’ve only achieved 1.2% collectively. Britain has ground to a halt. Productivity is halted partly due to aging population 264 retired for every 1000 workers and expected to grow to 356 by 2035. We also broke the model that made this country rich, trusses model was broken from the start, because it had no plan, you might say that’s the plan to reduce corporate tax, but in boardrooms in the US, their saying what’s the point of reduced tax if we can’t trade with Europe. As for housing don’t get me started on that rentier economy. We have problems in the U.K. both internal and external. Overall it’s about mentality , we are not the powerhouse of the seas we once were and we have to stop this tears rolling down our eyes when we see a spitfire roll over the skys. We can be a great nation, but we have to accept we’re not game changers on a global scale anymore.
Ironic that absolutely no one got what they wanted.
We had to find ways around the extra restrictions on imports and exports to the EU. Not without a price and time penalty.
From a small businesses point of view the UK government were hopeless and clueless. The Dutch government and Dutch logistic companies have been a life saver for us.
The UK was told that if it ever wanted to rejoin the EU it would have to do like other countries , match standards , use the Euro , etc etc . and it will not preferential treatment to rejoin and will have to wait . There is no guarantee that the Eu will still exist for much longer due to lack of immigration controls for migrants
Slight misrepresentation here . No Britain would not have to 'wait', but Britain would have to apply and fulfill all the joining criteria, called the Copenhagen criteria, as you state. However importantly, Britain would additionally need every other EU country to agree to rejoining, after considering whether Britain would now be a good fit in the EU. Because nobody would ever again tolerate another luke warm UK membership with uncorrected EU lies in the press (such as the one you just presented about lack of immigration controls for migrants). Britain would also not be welcomed without a proper commitment to EU aims.
And the old myth that the EU will fall apart any minute now? Well that myth was around in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s and it has not happened yet. Don't hold out for that. Brexit was actually the only exit, there was no domino effect, just the opposite. The EU functions well without Britain.
"EU will break apart any minute now." I have heard it for half a century from the English. We will see what breaks first. Uk or EU.....
Pls stop reading right wing tabloids. Their goal is to distort your perspective. It worked in 2016. It still heavily influences UK mainstream opinion. The EU is more likely to exist in 25 years than the UK in its present form.
Count me as old-fashioned, but I still prefer cash. I'd rather invest in UNIMANTIC PROTOCOL

Singapore is very wealthy but it’s also extreme in its wealth inequality. Poor and middle class people in Singapore literally have to live in bunks while the rich gobble up all the resources. Funny how people never mention extreme poverty in Singapore or thd extreme problem of homelessness or unaffordability when they talk about how much of a capitalist utopia it is. More like a dystopia
Singapore also has extremely long working hours relative to its GDP per capita. Productivity is lower than the GDP per capita would suggest in comparison to larger developed nations.
Sounds like something the UK is aspiring too. We seem to have almost modelled American crapness and its consequences, why not aim for a higher dystopia target?
As an American I was about to say this, but you got it exactly right. The middle class is gone here, only the rich can afford housing and medical care. You're either rich, working poor, or homeless/left for dead.

I’m surprised the Lib Dem’s didn’t continue to push Brexit reversal .
It could well give the LibDems a significant number of additional voters and seats. But no!
A very interesting and plausible explanation to many EU citizens like me wondering why the Elephant in the room is not kicked out (why Brexit is not addressed as a top priority). Your analysis is most probably exact but this decision to a "soft correction" of Brexit (taking one parliament before reacting) will be very detrimental to future EU-UK relations and to the UK business cut more and more of the European market. Remember that Brexit is like a huge sea liner (Will take years to change course), it is leaving European waters, Brexit is not enforced totally yet (finance sector, etc) so to procrastinate instead of addressing urgently the grave issues will make the UK much poorer and may even lead to its explosion (No risks for the Island of Ireland to re-unite? No risk for Scotland to leave the Union to rejoin the EU?). Really this position taken by most British parties is cowardice and weak leadership that many Britons will pay dearly. Your choice after all. Greetings from France

Elephant in the room:
*LE PEN VITE!*
-from UK.
In 1975, Labour's position on the EEC was not unified, with a split between left and right factions caused by anti-market sentiments, leading to confusion and dissent within the party.
Exactly like David Cameron did, Harold Wilson opted for a national referendum to address party unity issues and to present the Labour Party as more democratic.
This confusion remains today despite a shift towards supporting EEC membership in the late 1980s under Neil Kinnock's leadership.
Both major parties have deep-seated divisions over Europe, impacting uk governance and its approach to Brexit.
So, rejoining under Labour or the Tories seems unlikely.
Rejoining under anyone is not a UK choice.
I'm an American; this seemed like an objective analysis. I'd like to see objective comments. This video provided a lot of information; not much substance came back in the responses below. I know people are angry, but perhaps selfishly, I'd like to know what the UK public wants to do going forward.
It would not just need a constitutional change in Britain to return to the Single Market. But importantly, it would need a constitutional change within the EU, because third countries - and the UK is a third country! - are not allowed to join the SM. And Britain cannot influence EU changes from the outside. There are some forms of better relationship for accession countries, but not for third countries who have no intentions to be come EU members. It is simply a myth that Britain can 'just' return to the SM, when Britons decide. While Britain was still a member, during the negotiations, it was on offer and was rejected. As a third country it is not on offer. The only choice to return to the SM, is to apply for EU membership with Article 49. The EFTA route to the SM is also difficult, the other EFTA countries have rejected having a large country dominating and unbalancing their group.
9.15 '...gradually moving towards closer integration...'
Not possible. The EU won't let the UK cherrypick its way back into the Single Market. Get to the back of the queue to join, if that is what you want
But during the referendum Clegg & Cameron were telling us how the E.U. *wanted* us in.

...they just do not want to admit they spectacularly conned the british subjects... and they never will, alas...
Britain has not found a new direction after Brexit, there literally was no plan and it shows. The EU has moved on. Britain who? Oh yes, we remember now, they once were members.
2nd biggest enonomy in europe!! Lolza!
@@jonsimmons4150 It isn't about the size of the economy. Whereas mercantile Britain can only understand 'size of economy' it seems. In the EU what counts are very specific European values, like peace, cooperation, levelling up poorer countries, sticking together in adversity (like tackling Covid PPE purchases and vaccine development or the energy crisis and much more together). Countries growing ever closer together in friendship, while clearly keeping their individual character and sovereignty. There is simply no importance about how sizeable an EU member's economy is.
The tragedy is that Britons do not understand EU aims and values. This is why De Gaulle refused British entry all his life, because he realised that Britons do not really want to contribute to the EU, apart from on the one hand wanting to be top dog in decision making, but are actually only interested in the economy - their own economy! So what second biggest economy in Europe? This is not a consideration. A money orientated, self centred nation is a bad fit within the EU and that ultimately showed with Brexit. The size of Britain's economy will not be a reason for readmission to EU membership in the future either. Lolza right back at you.

There is another actual lie. The conditions are exactly the same for any joining country. They are called the Copenhagen criteria. So no more terrible than for anybody else!

Neither Labour nor conservatives want to talk about Brexit because the Uk is locked into a deal where the European Union took them to the cleaners. The deal is up for review but not renegotiation in 2025.
Nobody was taken to any cleaners. The UK negotiated exactly this TCA, the UK signed it, the UK ratified it. Did nobody notice during all of these UK processes, that UK was taken to the cleaners as you say? How very extraordinary! Or are you are simply telling porkies here. What actually happened is that the Brexit gurus told the dim leave voters that Britain held all the cards, because they need us more than we need them, which simply turned out not to be the case. It clearly is not the EU who are to blame for 'giving' Britain a terrible deal, that Britain was forced to accept, you should instead blame those, who promised you the earth and delivered very little. Remember, this TCA is entirely self-inflicted! What you are doing is blame shifting rather than taking responsibility. An unforced error by you is still your error and not anybody else's.

Thank you 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
A look at our economic history shows the decline became most serious from about 2008-2010.
To pretend it was caused by Brexit is most disingenuous and will mask the reasons for the decline.
You cannot fix a problem till you understand the causes. There is a good argument that joining the EU undermined our competitive advantage as the EU tried to homogenise/level-up Europe.
Not disingenuous
blatant LIES!
Not just free trade is going out of fashion, some liberalism agenda like immigration, privatization, reduction of regulation and subsidiary are also going out of fashion. New wave of immigration restriction, reguation, state subsidary, and nationalization are coming back. Socialism is on the rise.

A political party that would have the courage to take on rejoining the EU as a platform would secure a lot of young voters. It will take time but something to think about to get started.
The Tories don't want to talk about it because it's not going to help them at all, & Labour don't want or need to poke the hornets nest this side of the election. But assuming the election is soundly won by Labour, then as they have been carefully manovering to be the party of business, i expect there will be a rapid move towards alignment with EU standards and harmonisation to free up trade. The post election driver will be practicality, not idealogy.

@@paulmessenger9836 Yes do just that. They are unemployed for a reason! Most are ill, disabled or in chronic pain waiting for NHS treatment. Are you doing your bit toiling in the fields, picking at a very quick pace to feed Britain in all weathers? You should tell us how you think this will work!
The Tories won't talk about it because Brexit is a failure. Labour won't talk about it because revisiting the issue isn't a polticial winner (yet). Labour will talk about rejoining only when the general population is ready to rejoin.
It should be noted that the UK will get a much worse deal from the EU than the previous one.
That’s why we will never rejoin because the deal on offer will be far worse than our previous one and we will be far too stubborn to take it. We’d rather suffer the consequences than admit a defeat.
Brexit was a necessity and the only thing that can save any of the national identities in Britain.
Yep, and it's just one example of one of THEIR many, many failures - or 'betrayals', as I prefer to call them. 'Failure' implies they tried to help the 99% in the first place.
By "worse" you mean one involving greater EU integration, yes?
It should be noted that as long as the UK keeps saying they will get a "worse deal", as in it will have to participate in the same core programs like the €, Schengen, ever closer union and pay the full contribution etc you are not even remotely ready to join the EU.

Why Does No One Want to Talk About Brexit?…They do, they bang on about it all the time on youtube channels like this one.
Brexit has happened but the collectivists can’t let it go.
The 27 member countries, now and for the foreseeable futire, do not have the slightest interest in reopening the can of worms that was the EU/UK Brexit negotiation. Any idea that they may have is a mere projection of UK Rejoiner hubris.
If your house was on fire would you just let it go?
This is like saying I have now shot myself in the foot, just stopping complaining about it. Its done. Yeah well its still dumb as hell and we are much poorer and weaker for it. Voted for by those on their way to the grave and paid for by the young whose future has been mortgaged to the hilt.
Remember when Nigel Farage said if leave lost by 48:52, it would be unfinished business. Either way, no side would ever let it go. It's just that more and more people, including leave voters, are more pro-EU... Brexit, particularly the hard brexit by Johnson, is causing economic damage. We are an international laughing stock for self-harm.
Whereas the EU has moved on.
'Why Does No One Want to Talk About Brexit?' This must be the dumbest question ever asked. The answer, of course, is that Brexit was the dumbest British political act of the century.

@@gillymccyber1927 Where did you get 40% figure from? And assuming that’s true, something I don’t remotely believe, what is that spare capacity doing now? Wait, is that why everything has been running so smoothly since Brexit?
@@jan2000nl it was on an interview I heard. What are they doing with that capacity? Good question. Plenty of activism for one thing. Our breathtaking lack of state capacity now absolutely smacks of being cut loose from the EU teet.
Great vid, really enjoying your content :) it's so sad to see how much damage Brexit has done to the UK, it's made me so embarrassed to be British sometimes, the country has been led by the worst of us for way too long now. Hopefully Labour will get in and be able to start rebuilding. I dont see the UK economy recovering for a long time though which is super depressing
I’d probably start using the Euro as your basis of currency instead of the pound. Get used to it.
Like croatia did? Food up 20% overnight!
@@jonsimmons4150Oh, good one! Not. Wait 20 years and get back to me. You’ll have it figured out by then.
No point really, it's a utter failure, and a permanent one at that.
Because it was all a setup and preplanned
6:05. "Older voters were much more likely to support Brexit, and younger voters to be favourable to the EU. So as time passes you would expect support for rejoining only to grow". This does not necessarily follow because it assumes the opinion of younger voters will remain constant as time goes by. Also, let's remember that many younger voters failed to vote at all in the Brexit referendum.
Yeah, but they don't have any of the nostalgia for Empire, WW2 and the 1950/60s that many (older) Brexit voters do. They are more likely to be realistic about the status of modern Britain.
just voted in the EU election , you know that un-democratic organisation , P.S. and i didnt get turned away because i didnt have a photo ID issued on a Tuesday at 15.57 in the first week of March .........
As a British citizen who, for over 50 years, has worked in half a dozen European countries andis permanently legally settled in one. I ask myself why should anyone in the UK bother about Brexit per se? As far as the EU is concerned it's done and dusted, Why waste time on an irreversible problem. Why not just abide by and try to properly fulfill the terms of the TCA that comes up for review/audit, not renegotiation, in May 2016? There are 27 countries that have a veto that they can exercise against a mere UK application much less membership. One small example. EU member countries have some form of Proportional Representation so it only needs one of them to validate their veto by stating that for them FPTP does not meet the democractic electoral requiremkents contained in the Copenhagen Criteria. Currently and for the fireseeable future for the UK to be wasting time and energy on Brexit and/or its possible eversal, or even large scale amelioration, is totally popintless.
Mr Orban is already itchy
@@Mozart69938 By about 22.30 CEST we'll have the results of the EU Parliamentaries. Let's see what the results are. As for Orban, Hungary is a net recipient. Turn off the money tap and he's screwed. He knows that so actually leaving is not on his agenda. Staying in, getting the money and moving along a razor's edge, while being able to "do his own thing" domestically, is his game. Eurosceptiscism within the EU is a whole different ball game from what the Brits appear to understand it to be.
@@Mozart69938 As a net recipient Hungary would be no great loss but it'll never come to that. Orban doesn't want to leave. He wants to take the money. Stay in and do "his own thing domestically but it can't go on for ever.
Really? What about LE PEN, WILDERS, MELONI, ORBAN?
The political establishment (Tories and Labour) don’t talk about Brexit because they intend to reverse it….. Phase 1 of that reversal is to deliberately poorly negotiate trade deals.
cant.. uk has signed ctptt or whatever- would have to leave that first..
'...to deliberately poorly negotiate trade deals...' Well that's one thing in which the English really are world beating
@@frankoneill5675 baloney...again..
@@jonsimmons4150 Wait… So you really believe the political establishment: Tory; Labour; Liberal don’t want to reverse Brexit?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
bwegsit means bwegsit
Another Conservative stuff up, that's why the Tories don't want to talk about it.
Staying in the city of London for a few days and the place is absolutely booming.
The City is an aberration and always has been. Its basically a microcosm of international money markets. Travel outside of this small bubble and you will see how the UK is falling behind.
Why don’t you tell that to the people of Newcastle, Liverpool, Yorkshire or greater Manchester? How great the city of London is….
@@chilloutcentral2097 I would, but I got distracted by last night’s news of all those far-right xenophobic political parties winning votes across the EU…
Het used to it! The new normal,and its just started!
🙋🏻♂️✋🏻
@@anthonyferris8912 and that has to do with what exactly?
This should be compulsory viewing for the misled and the gullible Brexit voters
Liz Truss was a remainer not a Brexitier!!!
But since the Tory Party transformed into a loony Brexit cult, if she wanted to be leader she had to pretend that it was a great idea. Actually, she always had the loony part nailed on.
Because its history? Folk should focus on the future, not the past. Particularly as that past wasn't so great - it was 47 years of time wasted arguing about money and other things - but mostly money.
Brexit is not history. Brexit is happening now. It will keep happening until it’s undone and we rejoin.
"Low tax, low regulation" in the UK? LMAO, is anyone buying that?
3:11 badly timed 😂 she caused it. Get a grip?
Because brexit is a fact and not reversible, unlike the status in 2019?
Why not? Its still toxic. As these comments demonstrate.
Because the debate is over thats why no political party is talking about it
I think you will find that people don't regret Brexit so much as regret the way Brexit has been implemented.
A relatively small hit to the economy is irrelevant to most Brits as they don't benefit much from max GDP. We voted leave largely because we didn't want to be governed from Brussels.
As for a gradual re-join, we were told that the EU would not allow us access to the single market or customs union without us accepting free movement, when was the main reason many people voted for Brexit.
Indeed. Far too many Britons like you want all the benefits and none of the obligations. That is why you could not have just the EU benefits, out of fairness to other countries. Simple really!
@@MrsGardiner well, that's just your point of view. If the EU had existed purely as a trading bloc without the "political union" - aka being ruled from Brussels and without free movement, I'm certain Brexit would never have happened.
The way the EU was structured was a choice by those who set it up and there were many different ways in could have been done. We are not obliged to be part of it if we don't want to and it's now clear that we are not the only ones.
Regarding cherry picking the benefits, this was not what pro-Brexit Brits wanted at all. Most of us wanted a clean break from the EU with no obligations by either party. From that point both parties would have been in a better position to negotiate a future relationship.
However I'm sure you will continue to spin it in a way that suits you, as the pro-EU mob always do.
And finally - a sure sign of someone who can't argue their side in a debate is telling the other side what they think or are saying.
@@hughjohns9110 But the EU never existed as a pure trading bloc, whatever you thought when Britain joined! Have you ever watched Churchill's Zurich speech on youtube? Yes, that speech about the United States of Europe? It never was what you thought and that is clearly your personal misunderstanding, not the EU's fault. So please watch that speech. I will spin? Are you out of your mind? You misunderstand something badly, but call it my spin? Oh yeah!
@@MrsGardiner Where did I say that the EU was ever only a trading bloc?
Except of course when it was the EEC before that morphed into the EU....that's exactly what it was.
I really don't care what Churchill said, none of us are bound to agree with him and what exactly am I or are we supposed to have misunderstood? The British people were never given a referendum about going into the EU and Margaret Thatcher was dead against it and I'm quite sure that we would have voted against it had we been given the opportunity (which is no doubt why we were not).
So yes, stop spinning it, and stop telling me what I do or don't think. It just shows you have no argument.
All these projects are not very impressive... I want UNIMANTIC PROTOCOL!
The problem is that people my age, 31 all want the EEA but are acutely aware that the EU is leading the way in authoritarianism like CBDCs, social credit, perpetuation of war, removing individual rights, and serving the interest of the WEF.
Nice try, Igor.
The answer to that is easy. The only people who constantly went on about it were remainers, constantly running it down and calling it a failure. But it wasn’t. It’s success would have been greater, if we had had a government committed to its success. But sadly it was successful in spite of the government woeful attempts to disrupt everything. Now the success is proved the remainers are keeping quite about the the fact they were wrong. So no one talks about it ańymore.
List some of the successes then.
Passports are blue
You're quoting false figures.
Most of the problems attributed to Brexit are either hangovers from 2008, purely domestic mistakes, or easily fixable if anyone in parliament had a spine. The constant moaning about Brexit just makes me wonder why these people are still here. Put your money where your mouth is and leave if you don't like it!

LMAO Says nobody anywhere, ever.
Considering which metric? Please elaborate.
And so well argumented also @@SevenEllen
@@antilunioOpting out of "ever greater union" was and still is a good idea (IMO), the problem was opting out of the trade area, which made little sense.
There's probably quite an appetite for that just as there was in the 70's. The problem now though is that the E.U. will likely require us to commit to federalisation and strangely very few Remainers seem to be mentioning that 'benefit'.
It was all setup by our higher powers.. so even we are for it we should recognize that it was manipulated and preplanned
It's about right. 58% of hard working taxpayers and 31% of cockroaches on benefits
Don't have a problem with the people on benefits dude, have a problem with the politicians who made them poor enough to need them in the first place.
@SevenEllen system made them lazy and laziness made them poor. Hate to see some people breaking their backs working and other sitting on their arses and getting paid!
@@SevenEllenThere was a study done years ago where they asked a group of benefit claimants how much they would have to earn to voluntarily come off benefits. The amount was around the U.K. median income and remarkably that was a surprisingly consistent figure.
I'd suggest the current benefits system encourages some to stay away from work and what we need is a Negative Income Tax (look it up) to encourage them back to / into work.
@loc4725 those studies means nothing. People likes to talk and believe in their own bulshit. Benefits like a drugs
@@vitmart Not sure where you live, but down in the South, you can break your back and barely get by. Minimum wage is an offence to offer, here. It simply isn't worth the time and if you have two adults planning a family, the state has to step in to support them, especially, if they work on minimum wage and don't have their own home.
'Work pays' simply isn't true down here, if you get minimum. And guess what, many do get a minimum wage(sadly).
I guess everyone is still shell shocked as taxes, regulations and size
of government actually went up not down 🫤
