The worst part, is you can no longer blame the EU for all that's wrong in the UK 🤣😂🤣
Who was blaming the EU for Westminster incompetence. Can you name examples in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Because I can name quite a few in England that spread the EU myth.
@@Mark-Haddow Scotland wants to go free, and we heard the English loudmouths blaming the EU for everything. It's actually rather pathetic
@@tnickknight they’ll probably blame the union next then the north of England then everything outside London and the Home Counties (plus Somerset because mogg)
@@chrisgregory3063 They already have blamed the North of England. They've derided places like Liverpool, Yorkshire and Manchester for decades, since they were typically the heartlands of strong trade unions. Even still today, the media scapegoating and narratives about these places in the North has led a significant minority of people in the South to view them as backwards places, when they were some of the most resolute and intelligent opponents of cruel governments long before any London-based left-wing journalism started to gain traction.
@tnickknight You had your chance to jump ship, and bottled it! Now you want another go? Pathetic
"We live in a country that has been corrupted by flat out refusal to recognize reality". Well said.
Yes by the wingers that lost
@@frenchonion8861 The UK lost, and it lost badly. Denying it won't change that fact. Facing it, is the first step to do something about it. That was O'Brien's message. Do you have anything intelligent to say about that or are you continuing to brownnose the likes of Rees-Mogg?
French onion: you lost too 🤣
@@profjoost7601 Well spoken.
@@frenchonion8861 I usually play centre midfield.
1) Create a non-existent problem. 2) Exacerbate it as much as possible. 3) Come up with a non-solution to the non-problem. 4) Vilify people who criticise your non-solution. 5) Push it through with as little sensible debate as possible. 6) Deny the negative consequences. 7) Find a new non-problem and repeat. 8) Meanwhile, keep raking the cash into your offshore bank account.
actually i dont think even the ultra wealthy in the UK have actually benefited from Brexit. No one won. It was a total disaster top to bottom.
I think the remain campaign at the time could have done a much better job of exposing the lies and educating the public about how the EU actually operates as opposed to the Daily Mail version.

“How dare you point out the flaws that we were told about but ignored!!” -Brexiteers
I voted brexit and regret it. I'm not scared to admit it or talk about it.
I know quite a few people, friends even, who voted Brexit and now regret it. There is nothing wrong about admitting that you have changed your mind. Well done you.
are decision was right. we have had enough of expert's. we know better and we proved it fully with are brexit. thakn you for voting for it you are a true warrier. we have control back of are law's and boarder's. we never wanted to go to other corntree's anyway so who care's what we can't now to live.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@volvos60bloke hahaha comedy gold
There was a very well funded propaganda campaign. It's only normal that it got people.
All the people I know who voted brexit are unhappy with Brexit
And all they say is they didn’t know all the facts at the time.
NO! you weren’t interested in facts which were readily available you were happy to confirm your baseless bias that everything wrong could be magically fixed by leaving!
England is the only country in the world, there i run into trouble just because of my nationality....not in Scotland, only England... and i have been to many countries, in Europe and abroad!
I have zero sympathy for people who voted for Brexit. If they can't think for themselves they shouldn't vote at all.
@@joekavanagh7171
It’s the magic cure that will solve everything that’s always peddled by the right wing. And yet people still fall for it everytime
Chalk it up to confirmation bias.
The fact is the government are not clever enough todo the job of government ,they relied on the eu to govern while they took a back seat and just collected their Ill gotten wages for doing nothing ,now if they try to manage our country look how it turns out ,their answer is steal more money from the public .useless corrupt politicians .don’t blame brexit
Totally agree.
This refusal to take responsibility for their cretinous decision is what angers me most. These cries of 'this isn't what i voted for' or 'I didn't know' or 'we were lied to' just won't wash.
They did know the consequences of leaving because they were told what would happen if we left. We were all told. The difference is that Brexiteers brushed reality aside with the trope 'Project Fear'. They knowingly subscribed to a lie and now everyone is paying the price for their stupidity. Everyone, that is, except the super rich - JRM (as I recall) moved his Investment Firm out of the UK to Ireland, post Brexit, as the Euro was more stable than Sterling.
The only people championing Brexit now are xenophobic morons, outright bigots and the 1% who continue to benefit from a weakened pound. They don't care that Brexit is hurting the UK just so long as it hurts 'foreigners' or keeps 'foreigners' out. This self harm, to them, is the price worth paying for their bigotry and hatred of 'others'.
I think the reason they don't want to talk is, they are ashamed embarrassed and could not possibly win any argument about it.
I don't think they're the slightest bit ashamed - they are determined to have it and want to make it "safe" by making it a taboo subject.
Brexit was the strangest political move I have ever seen. I used to live in Switzerland and moved back to the UK just before the brexit vote. Coming from living outside the UK I wasn't against not been in the EU but what struck me is how the vote was been done and the why. Staying in the EU was a very defined arrangement. Brexit wasn't ever defined. It was like saying to a group of people do you want burgers for dinner or something else. No one defined the something else then spent 2 years arguing about what it was. Options were never defined. A vote was never offered saying right do you want to stay in, hard brexit or soft brexit. Eg do you want burger, pizza or pasta. Instead they came up with a pile of excrement and said people want this as they said they didn't want burgers. I hate to say it but from working in finance my conclusion is most people were just conned. Pre brexit the EU was clamping down on international banking rules, and the main beneficiary of these are British overseas territories and people like reese mogg. Worried about loosing money and that banking game ending the tories played the population to keep there banking game alive. Its a really sad situation and it needs fixing. 100% agree it needs intelligent honesty convo and can't just be swept under the rug. Where does the UK want to be in 10 years time?
A prime example of them doing nothing is their blatant reluctance to build houses yet flood the UK with immigration!? . Are they trying to crate a massive homeless vacuum on purpose? Are they trying to drive up unemployment? You seriously have to ask all these questions. They say they need more immigration to fill NHS positions. Sorry but that excuse ran dry years ago 300,000 to 500,000 a year put shot to that one. Uncontrolled immigration they always knew would create shortages in resources if they didn't plan for it in advance yet they let it continue on for years. 300,000+ a year no houses being built. Do the maths people. You can all see that will create more poverty, more disease it'sn not like we haven't had a global pandemic already.
you might want to have a chat with Dave Cameron if you can find him shootin on his father in laws million acre estate
In Ireland when referendum is called, a High Court Judge is appointed to oversee the issue.
Both pro and anti suitably qualified people debate the issue.
A paper is drawn up, showing a summary of both sides pointing out pros and cons.
It is then proof read in both Irish and English.
After signing off on the document, it is printed and distributed yo every home in the country.
What passed for debate in the UK was mostly a game a charades.
Fantastic insight there David 👍
That was the "clever" thing about selling Brexit. By not defining it, everyone had their own personal vision of what Brexit was and how it would work. When pushed, cynical politicians came up with the line "Brexit means Brexit" which says exactly nothing but was pithy enough that people could latch onto it and use it as a shield against criticism. Of course Brexit meant _their_ version of Brexit. How could anyone think otherwise?
And so the great con continued, with lie after lie and a voting bloc that took the attacks on Brexit (*their* Brexit) as personal attacks, and responded by doubling down on their refusal to discuss rationally. Not all, but enough to carry the vote. Brexit won the battle, but the UK lost the war and the consequences will unfold for decades.
My hard-working daughter Beth is a mezzo-soprano building a successful career throughout Europe after a poor upbringing and years of study. Brexit (which we were absolutely against) has been a NIGHTMARE for her and causes enormous stress; money; bureaucracy; lost time and reputation - who would want to hire British folk now, when they know the work visa situation is a nightmare?! Also, we're Scottish, so we feel DOUBLY aggrieved!! I feel a visceral anger when I hear the gammons perpetuate the nonsense of Brexit benefits.
My son is an aircraft engineer, companies in the EU don’t want British engineers, we’re Scottish and I feel the same as you! 👍🏴
@@robertallardice8119 I feel for him. A life-limitation he didn't deserve or ask for after studying hard for specialised skills. My girl spends more time at passport controls than she spends on stage (which is already a small part of the work she actually does) and she's constantly knackered. She had to go for an interview at the Spanish Embassy and pay a fortune, fill out a million forms, all for 2 days work in Spain!!
Well if it helps the hard working Brexit voters tax money probably paid for her free tutition fees and she is still complaining?? But you are very welcome....
Your daughter had a poor upbringing? Try harder.
@@jim-es8qk You must be kidding. Her hard-working mum and the non-Brexit voting taxpayers paid for her tuition. The Brexit voters like you are actively trying to ruin her future chances of earning and experiencing the world. No one these days can be certain of where their next bit of work is coming from, so thanks for making it a thousand times more difficult. Oh, and by the way, she has paid more tax to Britain and the EU in her working life so far than you have probably ever earned. So, she has more than paid her tuition back. Perhaps if you had taken advantage of an education, you wouldn't have voted like a plum.
The clearest sign that Brexit has been a failure is the fact that those who pushed for it never talk about it any more. You’d think they’d be banging on about all the benefits we’re seeing by now…
@@yyy-875 Yeah, I'm sure in X years time they'll have sorted the kinks out, recoup all the financial losses and come out ahead....
No need to talk about it. The vote happened over 6 years ago. Move on.
@@grahamwilson1000 You’re missing the point. If we were now seeing any benefits, the people that wanted it would be telling us how they were right. Since all we have now is silence it’s pretty clear that even they don’t think leaving the EU is helping this country.
Of course, I’m all ears if you have something?
@@yyy-875 I’d have at least expected to see some benefits after 6 years. In that time pretty much everything seems to have only gotten worse…
@@yyy-875 You mean like oven ready realistic?
I'm an American, and obviously we have our own problems. But I've been shocked at what I saw from people defending Brexit in the comments to these videos. The best they have to say is that maybe it'll pay off many years down the road. We're not supposed to look at what has happened now, they just want us to believe that maybe it'll work out eventually once enough time has passed.
Again, I'm just an ignorant American, perhaps I misunderstood. But I thought the entire point of Brexit was that it was going to make things better immediately. I seem to recall a bus being driven around with claims about how many millions of dollars would be redirected to the NHS.
The EU was bad, right? That's what the proponents of Brexit said. It was harming the UK now, immediately and constantly. Cutting off that malignant influence should result in immediate improvement.
So they were lying right? The architects of Brexit said that it would cause things to happen which did not happen. It has not worked. Hoping that it might eventually work and unspecified time down the road doesn't seem like an acceptable alternative.
I'll repeat it once again, I'm not British. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding things. But it seems to me that the people who voted for Brexit voted for the things that they were told Brexit would make happen. Now that it turns out that everything they were told about it was a lie, it seems like maybe there might be a reason to vote again about the reality of it. Have people liked what it's done to the country? Now that they know that the architects of the change lied to them about everything, do they feel confident that the assurances they've been given that it will all work out many years later will come true?
Thanks for your inciteful comment. 11 months later, the public finally seems to be slowly waking up to how leaving the EU has damaged the UK. I am hoping that there will be a second referendum once Labour get into power, but I'm not holding my breath...
The Brexiteers are like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they keep saying it is just a flesh wound, while in reality they have no limbs left
Time to accept that the country has been lost. lost to the selfish greedy tories and those who follow their ways.

If brexit hadn't been a disaster they'd have banged on about the b word relentlessly
I really wish I had been wrong about Brexit.
Unfortunately.....
True, the nutters would be rubbing our remainer noses in it with glee! Instead they are all in hiding:)
Another Brexit paradox:
Brexiteers: this is Uk Independence Day! A once in a generation reclamation of control and sovereignty
Also Brexiteers: why are you worrying/talking about it? Nothing much will/has changed
As someone who's been following this debacle since my 70s childhood, I can confirm that they _did_ bang on about it, for over forty years. There was none of this talk about "willothepeople" or "we've had a referendum and we can never ever change our minds."
...why has it been a disaster..it hasn't started yet...you're so impatient...
Put Farage in prison with clarkson
The fact that just after Brexit vote the most searched subject in Google in UK was "European Union" gives you a measure of how informed people was before the vote.
Probably everybody arguing on fb and trying to rerun the referendum!
Informed enough to know about the current corruption being exposed in the EU, quelle surprise.
Like yourself: 'how informed people was'? Did you mean 'were', or do you not know the difference? Everybody knew exactly what they were voting for. It was quite simple. In or Out.
@@ianclose123 That's right,unfortunately our country has been poisoned,it will take more than leaving the EU to achieve that.
It really was a simple choice of whether we wanted to live in an independent, free, self governing country making laws that best suit us or whether wee wanted to be part of a United States of Europe with little control over our borders and agreeing laws between 28 countries ending up with a compromise.
I used to work in the summer in Denmark. Brexit has cost me £20000. I also buy and sell watches as well as quality products. This has also cost me thousands. I always saw myself as a European. Now I am stuck in England, and this is the land I feel a foreigner

The problem for us non Brits is that we equate Brexiteers to a dislike of foreigners a dislike that we weren’t aware of before. When we meet British people on holiday we’re wondering ‘are they a brexiteer?’ I wonder if British people have noticed a difference.
Brits have looked down their noses at foreigners ever since they could go abroad and do so. Nothing to do with Brexit.

That’s sadly true. The legacy of Empire.

I was shocked the other day when the BBC started talking about how bad Brexit is. Nothing today though. Austerity and Brexit the Silent Killers in our midst.
I feel we are living through the collapse of British capitalism as it degenerates into Fascism. I'm retired but I stand by all strikers and I recognise that Brexit accelerated our demise. We must stand against this government in the hope that Labour will start to face the truth that trying to appeal to the right is never going to sort this mess out.
I'm afraid the Labour ship has already sailed my friend.- now that the socialist faction has been totally expunged.
SNP and the Green party are now the main opposition party in Westminster.
Vote for one of them
What's utterly depressing is that Brexit remains unchallenged at Westminster despite its clearly damaging effect on the UK economy. For the Tories, it remains their deity and to become PM you need to support it. Labour also wants to "make Brexit work" and not a peep from the Lib Dems. Bonkers.
Fear of losing the votes from all the dumb idiots who voted for it.
SNP challenge occasionally, and Caroline Lucas (Solitary Green) certainly does.
Of course, the Tories have banned it from being mentioned in the vain hope the disasters will be ignored or worse, forgotten completely. 🤷♂️
Lib Dems are quite open about rejoining.

Gaslighting is all that's left
I can’t believe last week on question time, no one thought to ask Mogg why we aren’t giving nurses a pay rise out of the 350 million promised from brexit. We the public are just as much to blame for standing by and watch everyone else’s pants get pulled down, this country is wasted on dense people who vote in the parties who work against them. It’s almost comical.
Blind deference to the Eton and Oxford set. The class system is alive and well.
No it is comical!
The problem is the public is a collection of individuals of which each one makes their own desicion but virtually no-one has any significant power or influence over anyone else. I voted remain but I am just one of millions and I have no control over anyone else.
@@adamlea6339 Exactly. Unlike in the EU we have no proportional representation or second preferrence voting. This has given us today's entrenched two-party system where charisma and ideology comes before economic and social reality. We have no chance to effect meaningful change through our supposedly democratic system. Soup being thrown over paintings is the net result. Daily Mail readers get the self-serving leaders they deserve, but free thinking people have to suffer in silence and lament about how it could all have been so much better.
Defining Brexit for a kid: when you decide to mess up your house and blame your neighbour for wanting you to mess it up!

I often post comments on the Daily Mail site, simply because it one of the few where you can post comments on most articles. You can get massive upvotes even by criticising the Tories, but don't, under any circumstance, mention Brexit or you will get hundreds of downvotes. It's the name that mustn't be mentioned.

From a trade viewpoint, what index measures the phone call , or proposal, that no longer happens ?
I'm an EU citizen, a consulting engineer who used to partner with British JV partners, in joint bids for public works and services in the EU. Under the Public Procurement Directives, it is necessary to be absolutely strictly compliant with the rules of the competition, because an unsuccessful bidder will always look for a non-compliance in any challenge to a tender award.
No one can risk partnerships with British companies now, because one JV member dropping the ball, is a failure for the whole Consortium. Easier to partner with NL, PL , E or D companies, who will reciprocate by including us in theirs.
It's just such a pity, and no index captures the losses involved.

Two tiers of overpaid politicians, twice as many laws to control us, and we have alwys traded with the rest of Europe, which we are a part of. Just not the political gang thanks. You can deal with the egos and power corruption.
the impact from Brexshit on my life, nothing....but i am inside the EU....i never bought anything from the UK since 2015... i order my stuff from Spain or Italy, its arrive faster and the posted price is the one i pay....
When you've lost just about everything, anything you get back or any positive change to what you have left must be lauded to the heavens. We might call it "Consciously delusional" - deliberately misunderstanding. Its not the fact that you've lost £4000, its the fact you've been given an extra £28. It doesnt matter that your former playmates have got a larger amount and havent lost the £4000 to start with, you've got an extra £28. Yay, Win.
this assault on reality is not just one country, it applies worldwide. i live in Canada and watch what is going on in quite a variety of locations. this quality of behaviour applies in any major country that for whatever reason has elected a conservative (by attitude) government, i do not understand the conservative need for an "alternate reality" to justify the unjustifiable.

No one fell for anything, excewpt for the minority who were naive enough to fall for the lies of politicians. Why would anyone feel so strongly about a political gang to cry loudly in the streets draped in a flag with face painted blue? They looked and sounded like mentally destroyed idiots, virtue signalling and trying to destroy democracy with another referendum that passes the 'right' result. Some of us have experience of when Britain was a separate, sovereign nation, doing just fine and trading with everyone who wanted to.

@@MrPiccolop read it again, i wasn't talking about now.
@@russellnewton6660 clearly you are missing something. Read what I said carefully. It doesnt really matter that you and your ilk think it was a mistake - a vote was taken. And then two general elections which were voted for largely on the same subject. There is no doubt that Eu would have welcomed back UK for a variety of reasons. Labour missed the opportunity. Had they respected the vote, they would have won that election, and then set about a future relationship. But they didn't. Instead they got humiliated although not as bad as the libdems who got destroyed. Right or wrong is a matter of opinion, but the voters opinion is what gets you into No10.
Well said my friend. Couldn't agree more
Never forget that JRM moved his business to a Dublin after the referendum. He knew BREXIT was going to be terrible for HIS business.
My husband and I had a choice to make, live with in U.K. and loose our freedom to travel Europe in our Motorhome or move to France.
We moved to France. We now paid tax and social charges in France. The items we wanted to buy from U.K. we now Can not because the small and some large- John Lewis is just 1 - business have decided that they won’t deliver to Europe so I have sourced alternatives from with in the EU.

I voted for brexit as things weren’t all rose tinted glasses before. At the time everyone that did - wanted change, it turned out public services weren’t diminishing because of the eu but was the greedy tories. The enemy were in our back yard. I regret the decision deeply but once again it was lies that got us here
It is really noticeable how quiet Brexitiers are these days. It's almost like they're embarrassed to admit what they are (were).
or maybe they are bored talking about it all the time.
They think that they could hide so we won't point out their obvious responsiblity for post-brexit mess, their lies and foolishness. But we see them and their silence speaks loudly the truth about stupidity of brexit voters and despicapble manipulations pushed by Brexit leaders.

So much better than EU drips, they mandated the shape of the drips you know, Boris the lair told me.
It’s really sad - we need Britain to have a strong word in the affairs of Europe…
I have lost hope trying to get Brexiters to see what a catastrophe the whole thing has been. It's as though an admission of failure is an acknowledgement of their gullibility and, alas, stupidity. I don't want to go around saying, "I told you so!" - but, in fact, I do.
But...but...Nigel Farage drinks pints of beer so he must be normal and must be telling the truth!
Nothing is funnier to me than seeing a politician attempt to do something relatable to the average voter, and then, as if it wasn't obvious enough that they're pandering, they manage to fail at the most basic of non-elitist things, like eating a hot dog or wearing any article of clothing that isn't a suit.

The idea that unelected people abroad have our best interests at heart as they pen our laws is the definition of insanity
So, people like Nigel Farage, Anne Widdecombe, Richard Tice, June Mummery, Ben Habib and all the other remaining 69 MEP's were not elected? The UK was not part of the European counsil? People like Catherine Ashton, Chris Pattern, or Neil Kinnock held no office as commissioners?
The elected people at home often don't have the best interests of the majority of the people at heart which we have seen too much of in the last few months. Our parliament got to implement and amend those laws before introduction. Our MEP's got to vote on them, our commissioners got to influence them. The EU system was hardly less democratic than what we have here and now.

They would then claim the British drips were better than EU drips and that the EU was going to introduce a mandate that all drips have to be a certain shape. Boris told me so it must be true...
I suspect it's because the discussion is never honest. The Tories have done nothing to make a success of Brexit. Quite the opposite in fact, for example, raising corporation tax. Economic illiteracy which looks like sabotage.
There is nothing preventing any EU country from raising corporate tax. Or any tax. The EU closed some tax loopholes and agreed upon minimum labour regulation standards. This was the reason for Brexit.
Slight problem there. They had spent so much repaying their donors since 2016, that they had to increase Corporation Tax. They aren't interested in SMEs who can't drop a few hundred thousands or a few million quid into Tory HQ coffers. The businesses that can are the only ones that matter to the Tories. Abd those that can, can afford the best tax accountants and private wealth management to avoid paying corporation tax anyway. So the pantomime goes on.
@ Christopher Lander: An economic illiterate acussing an economic illiterate goverment of economic illitracy. That's rich. What did you think would happen? And no, we don't need you more, than you need us.
@@oskarrunhaar6607 why are you people so rude and obnoxious? What is wrong with you that you can't be polite?
It’s simple, we’ve had a government who didn’t even want brexit, still trying to slow everything down. We’ve had over two years of covid, over one year nothing happened in the world. That’s contributed a lot. Get a party in who wanted brexit and get things moving. Disgraceful.
Brexit is like a slow puncture that needs fixing but no one wants to talk about it. It's become a taboo topic with the Conservatives and Labour doesn't want to talk about it either for fear of offending half the population that voted for it. The thing is if a national survey was conducted today the majority of the UK population would probably agree that brexit is a problem that needs fixing. So any political party/persons who would actually admit that brexit hasn't worked and lays out possible solutions (not necessarily rejoining the EU), would probably be more of a vote winner. Covid and the energy crisis/war have somewhat masked the effects of brexit but this won't last forever and solid data is increasingly showing that brexit has caused damage to the UK economy.
