Nice video, it's fair show both the sides but imho i think if you leave EU you'll have a payback for sure, you can't leave with a simply handshake and say: "it has been a pleasure", i think about the thousand and more UK teachers across EU who teach english, the'll have a hard times across EU countries like mine (Italy) meanwhile the Irish teachers are strong supporters for your exit. Anyway congratulation for your video, it is exhaustive. cheers
Hi Sergio! I'm sure English teachers will carry on teaching English in foreign countries without the EU. And I'm positive that other professions won't have any trouble either. I managed to teach in Moscow for 9 years, and there was no political union between the UK and Russia. The same goes for Canada, the US, Asia, Africa and the entire non E.U world. Trade, commerce and travel are all possible without getting involved in political unions. How do you feel about the E.U? The Italians who I teach have a negative attitude towards it, and so I'm interested in yours. Thanks for your comment!
ahah, don't listen my fellow countrymen with a English mindset, Italians love to complain about italian government decisions with foreigners, you are very patriotic, we aren't, I'm not a kid, i'm in early '40 and i strongly support the EU for a political Union,i enjoyed in '02 when we had in our hands the €uro currency, we are not Euro scepticals, EU is more than common market, it's our new home, i feel sardinian, italian and european in the same way. I understand it's different for you , you don't feel european, and maybe it is for this reason that the EU founders in '50 were italians, germans and french, you came in '73. Anyway i'm curious and i read everyday to improve my english your debates, it helps me a lot. cheers
I think we need to base our political opinions not on our feelings (feeling patriotic, feeling European, feeling 'at home') but on our reason and rationality. I'm afraid I see neither reason nor rationality in the current E.U foreign policy. Thanks again for the comment
I'm really sorry to hear such superficial analysis. It made me sad amd trully disapointed, I cannot understand, what's the point of taking a stand in this case rather than staying ,honestly, a very good language teacher.
??? I am sorry, but I don't understand your point. Are there any reasons that you find this analysis superficial? Sadness and disappointment are just emotions which, as adults, we ought to overcome. If you want to persuade the English to stay in the E.U, I suggest you make an appeal to their rationality, rather than their emotions. To do otherwise is to treat them like children. Something the remain campaign is certainly guilty of.
reading your response I am not quite sure, who of us, in fact, is in "emotions". Emotions play the first role in the British brexit debate, that's probably the reason. I can fully agree with the your advise, quoting: overcome emotions. It would help. (on the margin here in the UK both sides "go out" and "stay in" appeal rather to the emotions/feelings/stereotypes/prejudices and pale vision of "old good times" which can come back with their all positive aspects only. Anyway, I wish all the best all Brits in and out, what is of course a fiction by the polarisation of the society 50/50 %. And - why superficial ? - let me to say - if it is enough for you, to make a decision - that's your choice, which you are entitled to.
Mr skypelessons, you look so handsome while you deliver lessons. By the way, may I request you to put up accent lessons as most Asian guys think it cooler to develop a perfect accent.
Firstly I want to say thank you for your lesson! (As always ). It was a great opportunity for me to know a lot of new words But politically speaking I think you missed an important topic. GB's GDP is mostly based on finance. Nowadays you are the most influent stock market in EU. Do you think that you'll continue to be so important being outside the EU? I am not so sure... These days GB and Luxemburg are the greatest beneficiary in terms of freedom of movement of capital. How will you manage to overcome this lack of advantage? Today it is staple in your economical life! Thanks to your financial incomes today you can pay a lot of your public services. What will it happen next year? Maybe you're going to re-arrange most of your economy in less than a year and it could be painfull for the working class... In my honest opinion I think that before asking if brexit is a good or a bad thing you should wonder: - Who will pay for that? Sorry for my poor English!
Thanks for the comment! Currently we send the E.U 19 billion pounds every year and only get half back (according to HM treasury 2015 - source below). I'm hoping the extra billions will help. I'm sure the initial split will be painful, but often we must suffer in the short term to benefit in the long term. And really, GDP isn't the most important factor for me. Most important is quality of life. In my opinion, quality of life comes from good public services, low unemployment and low house prices. I reckon Brexit will lead to all of these. Remain will only do the opposite. www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/483344/EU_finances_2015_final_web_09122015.pdf

Congrats! Finally you guys made it!
Cheers Julia! I can't wait to get down the pub tonight and celebrate :)
I want a Swexit referendum, but I know that's not going to happen.
Thanks Helena! I have a student in Stockholm who feels exactly the same. Hopefully, one day, the E.U will be toppled...
Thanks for ur freebie lessons from which I learned a lot
What is your thought about Brexit deal no?
thanks sir very nice
You are very good teacher but this analysis is totally wrong and shallow. If you want to go, go and good luck.
