Let's be honest with ourselves though, if someone voted for Brexit and they work in international goods transport that is 100% karma. Like in what world did they think it would turn out any other way?
They were tired of listening to the experts, so they listened to Gove instead.
The people most receptive to the lies depended the most on frictionless trade with Europe. Pure karma.
They explained in the clip: they expected ministers to sort things out. Tory ministers.
@@darkiee69 But they themselves were the experts.

Most typical brexiter ever. “Well I wanted out. But I wanted to keep everything good. This is unfair” 😂
low IQ is easy to take advantage of by appealing to emotions
I also want a thousand euros every time I fart, but the best I can get is a chuckle if it sounds extra funny.
Superiority complex mindset. Wants everything in exchange for nothing.
Don't read books, wants to lead the book club because it is "unfair!"...
This is the problem with referendums. When every Johnny lunch-pail has his say, nobody gets what they want.
It is amazing how the working class keeps getting tricked into voting against their own interests.
It's almost as if they felt they had little to lose. .... Sadly in the North East of England that WAS the prevailing sentiment - regardless of the fact that the region received loads of free money from the EU.
It's been the same with tax cuts. The ultra rich have enlarged their share of the total economy since the Great Tax Cut was signed in. It didn't come out of no where. It came from the middle class. Yet before the bill presented to the President. It wasn't the ultra rich who was seen stomping for the tax although it would ultimately benefit them the most. It was middle class people who were pushing and going to bat for the tax cut. The ultra rich has it figured every time. They can stand by and watch others do the pushing.
They are not being tricked. They are voting for their #1 interest, in this case xenophobia. In the U S it's racism. Their hate transcends everything else.
@aiser If they had done the research they'd have known that in fact they had a lot more to lose than they felt they could lose.
That pretty much goes for anyone working class who votes Conservative. The rich spend a lot of time and effort into making average income earners vote against their own interests whilst labelling the people fighting income inequality as elitist.
My sympathy is reserved for those people who didn't believe the lie of Brexit and were pulled kicking and screaming from the EU.
My sympathy is for your sympathy and not being able to get over it 6 years on still acting likevictims like both sides didnt/don't lie 🙄

@@gazw9595 enjoy the shit hole you voted for
@@gazw9595 congratulations mister! You shot your own foot muahahahahaha
@@gazw9595 So what did Remainers lie about then? More and more of what the remainers were saying are becoming apparent with every day and what Brexiteers were saying being proved flatout lies. I was a non-EU overseas student in the UK and worked there for a while after graduation. Sitting here back in Asia I'm shocked at the stupidity of the referendum outcome. Boris is pushing for the UK to join the CPTPP, to be more "global". Funny thing is the EU is also in talks to join the CPTPP. So what has it all been for? Even Mogg hasn't found any benefits he can explain to the British public, but I bet there's been benefits for his bank account from his disaster capitalist chums (same goes for Farage). And that was the plan, the UK is a disaster.
"We wanted part of our legs chopped off, but we wanted the government to make that painless for us." The delusion with these people...
The EU is now in recession you Muppet while the UK is thriving. I guess we got the last laugh 😂😂😂
Kind of like chopping your dick off because you think you’re a woman and are shocked when no one agrees with you
It's not delusion, it's people voting on something important with the most basic info and no research. And straight up lies being told, here in yorkshire a lot of old people voted for brexit because main thing being promised was NHS would get like £300m a week with the money that frees up if we leave. And immigration scare was another big one pushed by UKIP and similiar.
Really the take away here is important votes should not just go to the public on such short notice, and politicians blatanly lying should go to prison, not just swap jobs after.
Same old crap. They just think they can ask the government for anything no matter how ridiculous and then it is up to the government to just sort it out. Just make Brexit painless. No biggie. Not like there is another side that you need to negotiate with or anything.
You live in an island that depends 100% on international trade. Who would guess Brexit wouldn't work, right??
xd
The nationalists believed otherwise, but they’ve been brainwashed by Murdoch and the Mail
Where do you get this nonsensical drivel from?
Brexit didnt mean shutting down international trade, do you people even know what youre talking about?
@@tovsteh - empirical data shows it has hurt trade; that’s a fact established by the IMF and the Bank of England. Leaving trade agreements obviously hurts trade with those countries.
The old ‘this is not the Brexit we voted for’ BS …… people getting exactly what they voted for but won’t own it.
Yep, haven't learned a thing.
People are getting exactly what they voted for after being fed a lie playing on their fears and having no understanding of how trade/imports/exports worked in the EU
It's exactly what the rest of us voted against, though.
Nobody got what they voted for, on either side, a simple tracking back on the timeline will tell you that. If a driver asks me whether to turn left or right, I don't expect to be held accountable when he starts swerving the car and crashing into things.
He wanted the painless kind of brexit
The lesson from this is simple. Ignoring facts and voting on feelings without regards to the consequences is rarely wise.
The crazy thing is that many Brexit voters don't want to learn this important lesson.
True.
One should never vote with their middle finger.
It rarely ends well.
We need this quote in all countries before anything is voted on.
but if your not in the UK at e the momment, my god it is funny to watch! I know a farmer in scotland that was shunned because he was pushing brexit. a year after and it turned out his buisness was only alive because of forign workers, forign markets and EU SUBSIDIES! that farm was in his family for hundreds of years, and he had to sell it just to cover his depts. He still works there, as a basic labourer, he came out the end of it with a house and nothing else, no extra money. And works for the neibour he hates that bought his farm.
Brexit voters thought they were voting on facts too. Convincing yourself your side is facts is how people get roped into these scams
England is that guy who left the group chat for attention and regrets it now
England isn't a country. The UK is.
Oh, so you imagined Brexit meant you could cherrypick all the advantages of the EU while bearing no consequences? No sympathy here mate.
They didn't have to leave the EU then because they already had cherry picked the advandages they wanted while being a member of EU. Now the U.K. must be the best place to live, I guess?!
“This isn’t the Brexit I voted for!”
“Really? Because this is the Brexit I voted _against.”_
- Most common conversation in the UK, circa 2016 - present.
they voted for the brexit that would make everything better for them at the expense of others, but that does not matter because others is not them, so its all good.
@@zeroclockgaming You're always someone elses other :)
"We wanted Brexit, They delivered Brexit, but .."
Don't forget many who voted for brexit voted because they didn't like foreigners.
Oh look more lefties moaning about Brexit
"we wanted Brexit and they delivered brexit. But..." Taking no responsibility and blaming others always works
No compassion here without taking at least some responsibility for results of that vote. I don't agree with the "conned"-frame. You're an adult, and you work in international logistics. Grow some brains!
@@You-tw4zs Contempt for both is more appropriate in this case, as the lies about Brexshit were extremely obvious and got repeatedly exposed for what they were, and yet they voted for Brexshit anyway. That's just willfull ignorance.
@@mmaas1966 Spot on. Gripe or pull up your big boy pants, speak to your local MP and take it further - you were duped.
Sort of describes the whole of the UK membership of the EU unfortunately.
Did they really believe that the UK, one country, was going to out negociate the EU? A 27 member trading block with a point to make? I really can't believe anyone thought this was going to be easy, let alone better. Where's the accountability? Partying.
I was a stupid sixteen year old when David Cameron declared the referendum, but even I knew that the Tories couldn't be trusted to deliver on their promises. Shit like this frustrates me because there is no excuse. You should have known. This was not a shocking outcome.
What did the tories promise ?
@@greeneagle6887
£350 million a week for the NHS, they said. Didn't happen.
"Frictionless" trade deals with Europe, they said - we've both watched the above video so we know they didn't deliver on that.
End supremacy of EU law, they said - It turns out the BS EN Standards were actually pretty good, because we're still using them, and UKCA uses the same checklist the C mark did.
The Union will be stronger, they said - Scotland and NI want to leave.
Support for farmers, they said - subsidies ended and farmers got screwed.
Support for the fishing industry, they said - Fishermen got fucked.
I could go on, but you get the picture.
They were told what the impact would be, and still voted against their own best interests. I have no sympathy whatsoever.
The sympathy I was starting to feel died a swift death when I heard, "We wanted Brexit..". Oh, this is not the Brexit you voted for?
It's the berxit remainers voted against.
"We wanted all of the benefits and none of the conditions and they wouldn't give us that"
“Obviously we wanted Brexit. We didn’t want it to hurt that much” + “it was so much fun driving in Europe” (indeed…)
Q - why did they want to leave? Honestly. Hate of their fellow “foreign” worker?
Why?
@Ron S, I believe I can answer that.
Foreigners tend to come from places where daily needs are harder to come by.
When getting to England, you work, get a steady supply of money, the more you work the more you get paid.
All needs are all of a sudden achievable.
You work, you pay your bills, you buy some clothes, maybe a car or a house, live content and happy.
And the dude next door watching starts getting jealous of your possessions.
He doesn't care how hard you work, where you come from or how bad you had it before.
All it matters for such individual is the 150 quid he spent at the pub on Friday, whilst watching the footie, and how skint he is for the rest of the week. Come Friday, do it again.
Until his precious wife finds a dude that ends up being a hard working family man that just so happens, came from another nation.
I didn't meet many hard working brits that had this feeling towards foreigners, just the low class, Stella drinking 8am at the jobcentre door, never worked 2 days in a row, uneducated and benefit claiming ones.
I think this overview basically covers it.
@@silvao6589 very interesting. Thanks.
When I see someone working very hard, I respect them. I want the best for them, as long as they’re decent people.
I love speaking to “foreigners” (other nationals). I’m curious. I also traveled a lot. About 40 countries. With time I learned 2 additional languages (Spanish - my wife, and my Italian is ok). In Uni I also had many non British friends who spoke perfect English obviously, in order to complete 2 degrees in engineering.
So bottom line - it does come from hate and jealousy. Miserable yobs.
I simply cannot understand this. People who made a living of _international transport_ , who traveled & worked with other countries on a daily basis, expected what? Some kind of magic waving of international rules, because _they_ wanted it?! They wanted all the advantages of being inside, while being outside?!
If they didn't understand then 95% of the voters didn't either.
@@CollieJenn true, but that's the point: John Doe of the street might have argued ignorance on the subject, but these people?...
Exactly that. And the Tories (esp Johnson) were clever / cunning enough to make it sound feasible to many, many people
Because they didn't see the advantages. They had never known a time without the EU.
Many people thought that open borders were just normal. And even if they knew the difference, many believed that the UK would get special treatment for being special.
Like Norway?
The UK forgot they don't really produce anything when voting for Brexit 😂

As an African, I thought the people that voted for Brexit knew that things would get worse before they get better.
But I'm shocked that they are shocked at the results. Even 1st world countries have ignorant citizens that vote with their hearts instead of their heads.
As a Brit, I had thought we lived in a sensible, rational country where people thought through the consequences of their decisions. But that faith has gone - apparently we live in a country where the majority are gullible people who can be manipulated by a few empty slogans and appeals to emotions such as false patriotism, nostalgia and fear of 'outsiders'.
To be fair, it was the elderly generation that primarily voted for the Brexit. They have experienced worse times than that, for sure. However, they ultimately punished the young generation with their vote out of a fear, planted by right-wing people, to lose their benefits they worked for all these years as they now all go to immigrants. That "idea" is used basically since democracies got established and it always seem to work.

Hilarious how the guy said the job was a pleasure before Brexit. So basically being in the EU wasn’t in any way making his life hard, but he still voted to end that. Utterly bizarre.
I don't think that your comment is really giving the EU enough credit - on a technical level, what the EU has achieved in aligning the rules and processes across nearly 30 countries so that trade between them can be significantly smoothed is essentially without precedent in history (it has happened within empires and such like before, but not really without someone basically conquering everyone and saying "now we're doing it my way!").
The EU's single market is a modern marvel that is the result of decades of tireless work to make things more efficient for all of its members and we unilaterally decided to cut ourselves off from its benefits based on xenophobia and idiocy.

i can understand some old ladies and gents voted for brexit, they didn’t really know what good it does for them. But a lorry driver who crosses the border on daily basis? He should have known better!
Well said.
I did not hear any of them say that they voted to leave, in a Byline video they never do.
The nearest I heard was "we voted for Brexit" so "we" as a nation, not "I" as in person.
They always want to leave you with the impression of voter regrett, most of that leap is done in your own mind.
The idea that old people voted for Brexit because they didn't know any better and didn't realise the implications is no excuse. I told my friends as old as me (80) ask your children and grandchildren what they want because we won't be around much longer but they will and will have to cope with the mess. They didn't listen.

If you don't know what good or bad something does for you, you should not have the right to vote.
In no other field than politics amateurs are asked every 4 years for their opinion. That is insane.
When did your local hospital contact you and asked you whether you're still okay with their methods of doing brain surgery?
When did the local fire chief call you asking for your input in terms of firefighting?
Amateurs should not have a say in politics. You want to have a say? Then here is the current citizen test. If you pass it and can prove that you have at least a basic knowledge of politics, the parties and their programs, you can vote.

As an HGV Driver before the "open borders" came in, I have sat in Dover several times for over 24 hours, and often in Customs clearing in Italy, Portugal and France and Spain for 6 or more hours regularly. With the open borders you just need a CMR delivery note, and never get stopped by customs, except in the UK with customs searching for booze, cigarettes and drugs, which was fine. And now the UK has gone back to T1's/T2's;Invoices, carnets and allthe other confusing paperwork! I told several people that that was would happen, along with all the delays.

“I thought Brexit would just hurt OTHER people!” Is what I’m hearing.
It's always odd to see how easily people can be swayed into voting against their own interests. Sometimes it's as simple as telling them about random "benefits " another ethnic group received.
Not only did these people vote against their own interests..... you can hear it here, even when harmed by being voted against their own interest, they still wanted to vote that way because they both never understood they were voting against their own interest, and still don't grasp how their vote harmed their interest.
There's a fun statement on that I picked up from a documentary on the Prisoner's Dilemma: "Life is usually not a zero sum game."
As you said, people see 'wait, the other guy gets a benefit' and then start vehemently opposing the cause without consideration as to whether it's aligned with their own long-term interest. Just because they got something, doesn't mean you lost something. And if there are means to give something to some people, without taking an equal amount from others, that is a net again for the society whole, and chances are it will come around and benefit you as well.
But eh, why bother with thinking a thing through when one can instead just jump to conclusions and enjoy the endorphine rush from self-justified outrage.
Hence the term “simpleton”.
This all stems from an "us" vs "them" mentality. Other nations are "other," we are better. We don't need anyone. We can stand on our own. We'll show you how great we can be on our own. Unless you manufacture/produce every single good imaginable on your own soil, how you still live life with this mentality is beyond me. Anyone who did not see this coming was a fool. This is what nationalism gets you. At the end of the day, no country is better than another because the people who inhabit one hunk of land aren't better than the people who inhabit another. Everyone contributes to the life you lead every day. Yes, even people on another land mass thousands of miles away. Want that to change? Change the life you lead and TRULY become independent. That won't happen, because they want change without really understanding how change actually looks and what it actually entails. THEY don't want their lives to change, they just want the nostalgia of perceived superiority.
Kind of like the bigots here in the U.S. They swear they want war (another civil war) to reclaim a past they are nostalgic for without really understanding the past or being honest about it. They want the nostalgia of their perceived superiority. They don't connect the dots that they lost the last civil war, they lost each and every attempt establishing the world they envisioned and people who believe what they do ALWAYS lose and always usher in a more liberal society in their wake. But yet, they keep trying, because letting go of their perceived superiority will leave them with nothing. When we all let go of these faux nationalistic ideologies and stop believing we are better than others because of a pre-determined pedigree, or because we happened to be born on a particular hunk of land, when we all realize that we all contribute to each other's lives, we can actually work together for everyone's betterment. Until then, decisions such as this will be made and people will suffer for them.
Agreed! But unfortunately, the winds are changing, and not for the better, in the USA and in Europe as well.
My words, sister/ brother in mind!✌
Well put 👍👍👍👍
Thks for the insights
The thing is, in the first three decades after WWII, the USA really was better than every other country on the planet and could competely stand on its own. But then we gave away our greatest asset; our mighty manufacturing base. Implementing protective nationalist policies now would be closing the barn doors after the horses are gone. We are never getting back the advantages that we had that were squandered and ruined by corrupt political and business leaders.

"We" wanted Brexit- not we mate- YOU!
As someone with a Masters Degree in EU Politics I weighed up the options on the table and spent weeks of indecision wondering whether leaving the EU would achieve my goals. My primary concern was the desertification of our coastal waters and the frankly rude treatment of Sea Angling industry, by Franz Fischler, in re-growing fish stocks in British Sovereign waters. I read everything I could but what made up my mind was talking with people I love and trust. They made me see that my small concern, leaving the CFP, was only a small part of our economy and EU politics. I was a Remainer, who flirted with leaving but returned to supporting the EU.
So, "we" and "you"... I found leaving or remaining a question that for me wasn't a binary choice but that was what I was being presented with. I am concerned that this, frankly, fucking mess we have been dumped into has presented us with straight forward identity politics decision made to divide and hurt our polity. People now see their identity as "Remainer" or "Fukwit" more strongly than they feel Labour or Tory. I was told recently, that the 3rd most powerful indicator of whether you voted Remain or Leave is whether you enjoy "Mrs Brown's Boys". So for myself, I know I have been used politically by a government whose only values is power for itself and I know that "Leavers" have been worked upon just as I have.
So Mr Harris, the conclusion to my story is that we have all been harmed by our Government and state. The Gov, the BBC, all our media lied and manipulated us all...all of us hurt by them. I could rant on about us becoming a Democracy whilst we are outside the EU but I hope you take my point.
Best Wishes Mr Harris to U and Urs.
@Brian Harris, he was saying "we" as a natIon, he was not referring to himself, that would be - I wanted Brexit - if that is what he had voted for. Chances are he is more in the remain camp than yourself.
Yes him but a majority did also.
Sadly.
@C J, you have to be careful with that 'majority' word, the zealots will be out to get you.
Regardless, why is it necessary to try to overturn what they voted for. Why to not recognise it as legitimate because a lesser number of voters feels that it is not right for the nation.
Since when has any vote required the most voters to explain their reasoning.

It's called being responsible for your own actions. Claiming ignorance is not an excuse. You must all enjoy what you voted for. Not sorry for any of you at all!
I can't believe lorry drivers voted for Brexit. Having listened to the guy talking about how the government should have made Brexit less painful, he still does not understand Brexit or what it means. The only way the government could have made it less painful is to have stayed in the customs union or the single market, but the government wanted a hard Brexit and the people voted Boris in knowing he was going for a hard Brexit. In fact it could have been even worse if Boris had not agreed a trade deal with the EU, as then there would be tariffs to pay too. Some people just think the government was not hard enough, but it's like exiting a club and expecting all the benefits of the club without being a member, then thinking you would have got your way if only you'd threatened, blackmailed or beaten up the club secretary.
Yeah, you hear all these companies complaining about the lack of drivers, and yet they voted for brexit trying to oust people who came here to work; shame on the UK for that.
Agreed. To this day, I don’t know why they left the customs union even if they wanted to be independent of Brussels.
So frustrating to see that people in this industry were so easily conned by the Brexit lie. Did they not understand anything about their jobs and international trade? Perhaps they were too spoilt by the benefits of the EU for the last decades.
Should have listened to "project fear"
Very true.
Quite, the frictionless trade made possible by EU membership was to them like water to a fish, they just didn't notice it. Now the water's gone and all of a sudden the fish finds out it can't live without it.
"We wanted all of the benefits and none of the conditions and they wouldn't give us that"
I find it frightening that at the front-line of Brexit they both vote for it and now accept it...knowing that worse is to come.
"Everything was great and I was happy. So I voted to destroy it."
Because the grifters exploited my racism and stupidity for their gain
They seem to miss the part where the ministry had it made as painless as possible but then they wanted Brexit and now they got the least painful Brexit and it is too painful. Unlucky.

I lived in the US for many years and my husband is American. All we kept hearing was about how there was going to be a brilliant trade agreement with America that would make up any losses. You would ask them why and they would say the special relationship. Well, that applies to security and military. Otherwise, the Americans aren't hanging on our every word. In fact, they were shaking their heads in disbelief ..... Why would we give up being one of the two leading EU countries for being "Jimmy no mates"? Our position came from being the financial leader in the EU, while Germany was the industrial. We threw it away. And so many silly sods talking about how only a few people were helped by that but they didn't understand that it DID trickle down ..... And, that the modern industry for Britain back then was Finance.
What breaks my heart was the old voting for the money to go to the NHS which it couldn't because the money never existed ..... And throwing the young under the bus by denying them a future.
