Banks is widely regarded as one of the chief architects of Brexit, having donated more than £13 million to anti-EU organisations, including UKIP, as well as having funded and directed Leave.EU, the unofficial Leave campaign in the 2016 referendum. Following the referendum, Banks wrote The Bad Boys of Brexit, a book chronicling his role in the campaign's success. Recently, his political activities have come under legal scrutiny for possible connections with Russian authorities.

Love hearing Banks put these clueless students in their place
He acts like they're clueless. Its no revelation that politicians and media are deceptive, but what we shouldn't hold them to high standards over important matters?
Oxford students don't seem quite so bright now.
I’m astounded at how far left they are. And don’t have any intellectual points for themselves, rather just nit picking at nothingness.
They lost the vote. Doesn't mean they were wrong.
WOW. What happened Oxford?! Did you get these kids from Teletubbies?
Mr Banks knew what he was doing walking into a hostile situation like this. This was a Superb Masterclass in Gruff-Reality versus Utopian-Idealism. The Best OU broadcast I’ve Ever seen........
The American (?) lady around 42:30 clearly doesn’t know what she was talking about: the UK is not a member of Schengen. That’s a bit of an embarrassing mistake.
i spotted that too. The students always seem so uninformed during these debates.
I’m speechless at how well some of these can speak. But how incompetent they actually are.
The pouting is hilarious.
The one thing you can take away from this interview with Mr Banks is an honest and objective analysis as to WHY brexit won in 2016 from the perspective of one of the key players and judging from the nature of interview , Mr Banks was not there to be a cheerleader for political gain.
My Grandfather, in his 70s who is Pro Remain told me he remembers early division on the question of European membership well back in the 1970s and he believed it would only be a matter of time before that division makes its way to the top of the surface in British politics.
Regardless as to where you sit on the brexit debate - everyone can learn something from this interview as it reflects the reality of the modern political and societal landscape.
The minority of immature students pulling off the coughing stunt ought to think more critically.
Sam David very well said sir. I voted remain, but to suggest that the EU is this flawless utopia is beyond the pale.
The fact that these students are lambasting Mr banks for using the exact same tactics that most politicians, including folk heroes like Corbyn, Tony Blair and even Obama use really shows how partisan and biased the university system has become.
@@paulies5407 well said sirs, we should defend lies and deceit, our democracy relies on it.
Immigration ‘built Britain’. Said without a hint of irony. What an absolute joke.
What a bunch of brainwashed vipers! You were brave to go there Banksy....
respect to Mr Banks for entering the hornets nest, he answered each question calmy and deligently time to move on
I never see Norway and Switzerland badgered over Russia or for not wanting to be EU members.
Banks came across as honest and as ever pragmatic, the oxford union, however, is not as robustly intellectual as it used to be.
Would be great to include in the description the date this was recorded on
VERY impressed with Banks. Very honest and transparent. Hope that Oxford U put together some Safe Spaces for its offended Snowflakes!! 😊
Only honest thing he said is that British bureaucrats and politicians are dishonest scum and can't be trusted. Where he goes wrong is by going on and on in _justifying_ it!
If you're a fan of his you are *pathetic* yourself! I'm glad America split off from treacherous beings as yourself and your kind
Mr Banks is an honest and dignified gentleman, who is as entitled to his political opinions as any other... A refreshing honesty to political naivety and blind expectation, but I must draw the line at the Greta 'joke' - not a joke; no matter how you dress it up.
@Henry Hill providing practical solutions is not her objective nor her role... those within roles, positions and jobs already, are obligated to providing the solutions...one would argue that they have them already, but choose to kowtow to greed and industrialised progress, rather than the alternatives, some of which
greta suggests... a point in question.
Greta is highlighting that fact, amongst others.
The young chap asking the questions is the reason why young chaps (and chapessess) should not be voting, his lack of knowledge made him far too immature to vote, and why the age should go up. Arron was spot-on in how he explained the media and their devious destructive ways. The question asker is dangerously gullible.
But then why did he get the Brexit party being Conservative so incorrect 🤔. 74% of the Brexit voters are Labour. BBC who are dead against it a right-wing as is the Daily Mail and most British media. Just because Jeremy Corbyn was continuously on the fence until his last statement of saying that he holds his hands open to anybody from anywhere to come into Britain with no rules, and just because Boris has supported Brexit from the start, it did not make Brexit suddenly Conservative, has Arron completely forgot about Theresa May and her three years in number 10?? Brexit has always been left, and a liberal, as Nigel Farage explains himself.
The Indian women saying that Britain is one on immigration was the biggest piece of bull$hit on the whole thing, how is she that clueless? Britain is becoming a dump of $hit it because of immigration, especially with the crime figures and the terrible gormless state of the NHS. The strongly assumed French student doesn't think about the British people who have lived here via family for absolutely generations - the only set of people that he didn't think and the effect mass immigration has on us and the name of our Great British countries, he forgot he DOESN'T come first. LOA regarding Greta - I could easily say that were many millions of people who agreed with him, and not as a joke. The American woman could not see that Arron was not joking about Brexit and we have no relation to Schengen also. I've no idea how the anti-somatic question came in no was allowed, but is only 0.01% of all anti-Semitic claims in the UK go further for investigation because they are the only ones which may be valid.
Banks outclassed everybody.
The intelligence of students hasn't changed, I feel that the Institutions have become corrupted by groupthink. These students real problem is that they will be starting the great adventure of real life behind the start line despite having been to one of the world's great seats of learning.
These intellectuals weren’t smart enough to outwit Banks. They all seem far left?
Almost all of the questions asked were asked by people who live in a bubble. It is quite evident from the content and tone of the questions asked that the questioners live inside an Oxford bubble and have likely never met (or possibly even met someone who has met) anyone impacted negatively by being in the EU.
Very good and insightful Q&A
So this is the state of students at one of our top universities is it. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Arron Banks is a great guy and judging by some of the questions is definitely one of the smartest people in the room. It's actually quite sad to see what some of those students seem to believe.
Why do you think he's funded so much personal money to get us to leave the EU?
@@AweMjolnir Because he's a proper Conservative who wants independence for the UK, just like me, he's got nothing to personally gain or lose from no longer being trapped in the EU.
@@jellymulder Apart from 'being independent' from the EU, means we probably have to be some other countries bitch, like America, China, or the EU, because they hold most of the cards.
Like with Australia. On the face of it they are independent. but in reality China has a large influence over them.
At least inside the EU, we had a larger say over matters, as one of the top 3. Outside the EU, the EU has much larger say over us. If not the EU, then USA, or China.
You don’t have to be smart to be quick on your feet.
If these sanctimonious little NPC's are the best that Britain's universities are producing, god help us
These people are at Oxford!!!
God help us
The student questions reflected totaly group think. The future for our universities looks grim.
Too many wannabee Barristers, lacking courtesy :(
I made the mistake of eating prior to watching this
Yes the regrettable state of modern day university students is appalling.
Seeing how the media presented Mr Banks to how he portrays himself in this interview, is very much in line with the media's disgusting bias. He would get my vote in a heartbeat.
26 mins. Classic!!
25:35 exceptional
25:55
I’m done 😂
This talk was shortly before the general election were the Conservatives won an 80 seat majority and Boris got Brexit done.
Instead of waiting for Brexit, the EU should revoke Britain's membership. See how popular Brexit is then.
The weirdest of Bank's opinions is that he said the Conservative Party had drifted so far to the LEFT??? Has he not heard of neoliberalism?
One word for this guy......legend. Keep the jokes going fine sir 👍👍👍
It’s as if these kids actually think Banks gives a damn. He handed them their arses on their grandfather’s silver platter
We are waiting 2019 miss world
Is it a beauty?
If anyone understands anything about Projects, they will know it has a shelf like, status. Ask any Project Manager. The European project is No different. It's big & has been going for years. It will come to an End!
Right like the lightbulb, or the USA.
Absolutely fascinating discussion about Vote Leaves “Momentum Style” incursion into the Conservative party. Highly dislike Mr Banks and Mr Farage but their influence on the political direction of this country is unquestionable. They own the 80 seat majority as much as Cummings et al in my view.
In the one good question asked, on the N Ireland border, Banks shows himself to be ignorant and uncaring. If only the other questions showed a similar forensic analysis.
An audience of soy boys & SJW's
To be fair, their parents wouldn't do any better.
ALL CRIMINALS, PLEASE FORM A CUE IN FRONT OF THE GUILOTTINE. THANK YOU!
You can see the students trying to break the leftie indoctrination by the expressions on their faces.
I love Arron Banks. 👍😍
Colour me shocked! Comment section failing to understand the point of critical questioning!
They were terrible. Regurgitated propaganda that we have heard 1000x since the result.
Seeing these Oxford union talks would put any parent off sending their kid to oxford
Indeed .. but all English universities are similar nowadays - sadly
That's reason why brexit happened.
The hatchlings can’t handle it!
The Oxford Union of Tuberculosis sufferers.
One glance at this comment section shows how divided our union is. Thankfully there's a better path for Scotland, being an independent member state of the European Union. Indyref2!
There is no such thing as an 'independent member state of the European Union'.
Colony of EU*
Independent in the EU?! It shows how deluded you are, you must be an SNP voter or something!! :')
Join the EU and you are then subservient...not independent.
You then contribute billions....no more Barnett Formula.
So much coughing...juvenile stunt
Liberal interview trying to find dirt on the brexit campaign
Disappointing that Arron Banks doesn't understand the Northern Ireland border issue and also has no idea that the UK is not a member of the Schengen Agreement. Oh dear.
@@phileasfogg3536 Exactly.
Wrong person. As has already been said. My jaw dropped when she said that. If she is ignorant about the EU (she clearly is) why is aggressively firing questions at people rather than asking for help to understand the issues?
In terms of Northern Ireland, now that we have an agreement, Northern Ireland is much less an issue - there will not be a border there: both sides have said this.
I wondered if he would come across as genuine and likeable, he didn’t.
