      @Rifle Eyez You can't do "just-in-time" from Australia, Japan or the US.
      He is talking about same day pickup and deliveries.
      That same Import export infrastructure will still be place for the likes of Australia, Japan or the US - as they have always been.
      This is a fundamental reduction and curtailment in a specific type of delivery. No other set of countries can, or could ever, replace that.
      Geography not politics.

    • @hamblyl
      @hamblyl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      @Rifle Eyez he already has his own company.
      These are not teething issues - these are fundamental differences in geography.
      You cannot transport consumable J-I-T goods from Africa, Australasia or the Americas.
      It isn't a case of "waiting for markets to open up" - it is a case of "those markets are not viable solutions to the requirements as the goods will go off before they get here".
      And those goods will ALWAYS and STILL have to go through the same import/export regime that they go through now and that the EU goods now have to go through - the difference is (was) those goods from the EU did not previously have to go through this Import/Export process!
      We will not be entering into an "EU like trading zone" with ANYONE - we may get deals, but they will all still have to go through standard Import/Export processes.
      The End - stop trying to make out otherwise.
      Plenty of people could predict.
      Many others did predict.
      And many of those that could predict, but kept their mouths shut or said otherwise, will be a whole lot richer as a result.
      It is called disaster capitalism - Rees Mogg's father wrote a book about it.

    • @hamblyl
      @hamblyl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      ​@Rifle Eyez Oh dude, really?? Australia tends to trade with other countries NEAR it. That is how they cope with their geography. Ditto most other countries. Why would Australia rely on a trading region 12 thousand miles away? Equally, the UK joining a south east asian trading pact as a replacement for the EU is complete nonsense. Similarly the US.
      Reducing the frictionless trading capacity of a nation from 300m potential customers down to 60m potential customers will have an impact on that nation. You do not need to predict very much. Try getting mail order in Northern Ireland at the moment - many suppliers, simply, will not do it. There are industries being decimated by this, currently.

Then look blank at you when you tell them that non-UK citizens working in the NHS have a fee to pay for NHS services that they are highly unlikely to need (young fit, active and trained health professionals). That they do not get benefits immediately like housing but as a working tax payer are entitled to the same benefits as any other working tax payer.
      The Human Rights Act was created and set up lead by Churchill and signed into UK law as 47 did. Only two countries are not. Serbia who refused to sign up when separated from their union and Russia who resigned so they could invade the Ukraine. What a noble group of countries to wish to join.

He deconstructs them and shows that they have no actual opinion on what they are claiming to be the reason. He then slowly draws out the real reason.

      Not really. Much of the leave vote wasn't because people wanted out, but rather was a protest against the previous years of austerity. The thinking (if you can can call it thinking) was that if Cameron wanted us in, then they were going to kick him on the goolies and vote leave. Then having voted leave, they decided to double down behind that decision. I think it's pretty much the same thinking that gave Trump the election in 2016.

The close to 70 mill citizens made the UK one of the largest member nations. And the second largest economy within the union. In other words the UK had a huge responsibilty of what the union were before Brexit.

    I worked in the UK for an Aerospace company from the USA. . The directors warned us that if the UK voted Brexit they would move their operations to another EU country. All my brexit work colleagues still went ahead and voted brexit. They were so indoctrinated that they all believed the company were bluffing. All my warnings (I was also a Union shop steward) were ignored and I was accused of conspiracy with management to block all what they believed were going to be their new found freedom. (although nobody could tell me what those freedoms were.) Within a year of the leave vote the factory that had employed 500 people was now in Portugal.

      People are fed up. We've had almost fourteen years of austerity and stagnation. The provincial towns and cities are in decay and services are falling apart.
      People are alienated and angry as we all get poorer and lose hope of anything getting better.
      People are easily swung by populist campaigns which declare that - Foreigners are to blame - The EU is to blame
      They havent managed to connect the dots between the crises and the policies which got us here and who created those crises and policies.
      We have had Tory and Tory-lite government in the UK since 1979. Many of our current problems were caused by policy decisions made by Tory Governments.
      For example, the financial meltdown of 2008 was directly caused by Thatcher/Reagan deciding to deregulate the financial sector. This created a competition for growth Through Risk-Taking which enabled many of them to commit Hara-Kiri.
      And since the banks are all mutually dependent, the fall of only a couple of big players brings down the whole financial system.
      They print trillions of money to 'save' the system which all ends up in the hands of the banks again, it creates a bubble of false value and a need for the banks to find growth through Risk Taking again - and the whole demented game restarts.
      We've been told that Foreigners and the EU are to blame for our situation. (It is of course quite insane, but thats the power of propaganda and brain dead populism)
      Now we've lurched even further down the road to nowhere - another right wing experiment intended to benefit corporations and the wealthy people who own them.
      But truly, the authors of this new crisis through this new 'policy' haven't a clue where this Brexit experiment will leave us.
      Personally, I believe that in ten years (if the next financial meltdown hasnt quite happened by then) the UK will be even poorer and more broken than we are now - and irrelevant in international politics.

    I cried just like that man when that vote came through for Brexit because the horror of the realisation hit hard immediately

      The result of the referendum even hit me hard, and I'm an American. Just couldn't believe the British people would do this to themselves. I could see it coming from a mile away: why couldn't the British majority?

      Same here Anita. It just seemed impossible the self harm that was inflicted on us.

    not being British, I thought fair enough , maybe I don't understand the real issues and their was some validity to Brexit. after hearing all the callers I realised you guys are just nuts. The issue is half the British still think they rule and foreigners were stealing from them.

      I must have missed that scene in Star Wars where the Emperor says the N-word and treats his cheap foreign workers quite poorly.

    Brexit: I divorced, lost my house, kids, the car, the dog, access to my kids and all my savings but now I can leave the toilet seat up. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.
