But Farage is just fine with American, Russian & Chinese bureaucrats telling Britain & the whole of Europe what to do to trigger the liberals, feminists, progressives, etc.
@Patriot Rising 1916 but that's not how *he* described the elites. He described them as out-of-touch rich fucks that never worked a day and directly inferred *that specific trait* makes them inadequate. If you think the claim is absurd, well, tell it to Farage, not to the people mocking his point.
I'm not from the U.K. but I did some research on this Nigel Farage, and for all his talk about the elites he seems to have more connection with the elite than the common folk. He's like Trump where they pretend to be "outsiders" and counter-elite, but they're part of the class of people with large of amount of concentrated power and wealth. He was born in a wealthy family, and his dad was a stockbroker. This is the kicker: He talks about "useless" degrees, but he doesnt have one. Why? Because he was able to leap frog pass university and was able to get a job as a commodities broker AT THE AGE OF 18!!!! He seems to be describing himself when talking about the European Union bureaucrat, so wtf is the difference? Leave the EU and the working class/poor still has to deal with the "faceless bureaucrats" of the UK government and the elites of the UK except leaving the European Union will most likely have a negative impact on their economy, right?
@Luis D. Does it hurt being as stupid as you are? In England what we would call fries they call "chips." This English person is pointing out that Nigel Farage, an Englishman, is referring to what they would call "chips" as "fries" as evidence of Nigel pandering to American Conservatives.
Of course made worse by the fact that Farage always portrays himself as British-like as possible. ...Usually in a pub, drinking some local ale, whilst reading some shit-rag like The Sun. He will not bow to foreign pressures, oh wait, fries.

@@gking407 There are disagreements between different judges on US law. A "conservative," judge is one with a record of leaning heavily toward interpretations of the Constitution and the law favored by conservatives.

Individual parliamentarians often find or make a little niche for themselves. No single individual in a national or the EU parliament knows it's entire body of law. Parliamentarians are usually pretty chatty about their field. If you find the trains guy, they're most likely going to be happy to tell you why their ideas about trains are the best, and do so in greater detail than their party leader could ever do.

Living in Europe my experience is that the EU does make things a LOT easier and less bureaucratic as anyone will tell you who ever tried to order anything from outside the internal market. Friction and national bureaucracy takes over where the EU has not gotten to yet, such as cross-border investment and capital gains taxes.

The point of the commenter is the "university" part was added to sound more serious than they have any right to sound, not that "they're not a real university".
You know what? You're not wrong. Though, more for the Gen Z kids, since "millennial" are kind of 25 to 35 now. The target demographic is 18 to 25, before young adults realize the power of their vote, so they'll throw it away on continuing the establishment.
@@alexsmith2910 Possibly. I meant to say, that Gen Y adults are not the only target demographic, it's also a lot of trying to brainwash the next generation of potential voters. People "college-aged" have still not decided what their life-long political beliefs will be, and can be easily swayed.
Could you not have put a warning that Farage was going to be in this? Also, Farage should admit he's been an MEP pretty much in name only as he only turns up just enough to get his wages and claim his expenses.
Yes, he just sat there in parliament and nothing more. Not once did he ever look at the general political climate outside of parliament - during his everyday life - and use that judgement to formulate opinions that he expressed while in parliament, nope. He was just some robot that only turned on when parliament was in session.

In the US "college" is used to talk about an institution that only grants undergraduate degrees. A university is an institution that grants both undergraduate and graduate degrees. In the UK, college is preparatory, while universities grant degrees. In both instances, divisions of the university may be called "college of [x]", or something similar.
@@Falcrist Firstly, that may once have been the technical difference in the US, but it is not 100% the case today. For instance, Boston College confers graduate degrees. Indeed, the first two colleges I thought of, BC and Bard College, both have graduate degree programs. That aside, if we look at just the colloquial usages, I think it is correct to say that the US uses "college" where the UK uses "university" (or just "uni.") For instance, this conversation might take place in the US: Ann: Barbara, are you going to college this year? Barbara: I sure am, and I'm really looking forward to it! A: What college are you going to? B: Boston University. In the UK, the word "college" in Ann's dialogue would be replaced with the word "university" even if the school to be attended were BC rather than BU.
@@burke615 Your colloquial usage is incorrect. BOTH university and college are used interchangeably. Outside of casual conversation, "college" refers to a school that only offers undergraduate degrees. "University" refers to a school that offers graduate degrees. Older universities may be named according to different rules... but that's also true in the UK, where colleges are supposed to be parts of larger institutions (universities)... except sometimes when they're not.
Aaron Burr I am glad my country is not in their sphere on influence “yet” I think my country should make laws banning political ads from other countries

It’s worth noting that the opposition to “big government” and social welfare that is rampant in the United States didn’t really appear until black people were allowed to use welfare.
Also something to ponder, some of the best gun regulation laws in america were passed in a state run by a little known Ronald Reagan. Why ? Cause there were too many black panthers with guns. (and honestly I understand, can you imagine a giant cat with guns ?)
Also, nobody cared about the use of drugs in America until advisors of the Nixon Administration began to scapegoat anti-war activists and the black community with drugs, and attempts at policing of said drug offenses were only done in minority neighborhoods and on minority people, a lot and the Reagan Administration began a crackdown on those communities while the same Reagan Administration funded death squads in Latin America that also helped drug cartels ship their drugs onto American shores.
That was never his intention. His goal was to squeeze out as much money as he could with the least amount of work and block a seat for someone who actually wants to be there.
@@Tespri You don't understand what I said. He's saying that when he was elected he didn't know that they moved between the two cities, so he's admitting that he didn't really know much about the EU when he became an MEP. I never said that it was a lie.

The funny thing about the fishing situation is if anyone was in the position to improve the UK fishing industry it was Nigel Farage, who was on the fishing committee. But he only went to one meeting. So him swanning up the Themes throwing dead fish in the river for a publicity stunt was even more ridiculous than it already seemed.
I'm not a socialist, more a liberal centre-ground voter, but boy do you make great videos. Rational arguments based on facts. The biggest problem with Brexit is a lot of the leave arguments have been based around simplistic soundbites. The reality of leaving the EU is far more complex, yet much harder to defend in the same way. It takes time, context and detail. And the failure here has absolutely been down to current politics in the UK. I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed (and concerned) by the British political system. This is not the country I grew up and spent most of my adult life in.
My thoughts exactly. I feel deeply embarrassed by just how poorly educated so much of our political leadership really is. David Davis admitted that he didn't even understand how Article 50 worked, even though he'd been flogging it most of his political career. The issue, I personally feel, is that the Leave campaign made the EU a lightning rod for gripes that are really about London and the central government. Economic stagnation, the erosion of local council autonomy and so forth. Unfortunately of course, good old fashioned nationalist xenophobia seems to have played a role too.
Excellent video! I really hope you will make an updated Brexit video, now after 2021, on what has happened since 2019 and how Brexit is currently affecting the UK and Europe.

The PragerU video this is based on is shocking to me in how nakedly propagandistic it is. Don't know whether that means I'm sucked deeper into LeftTube, or that Farage is a using blunt-instrument rhetoric. Good video.
All PragerU videos are propaganda for conservatives and right wing groups, they once tried to argue that the alt-right is the same as the left because they focus on the individual. That's how far fetched they are.
If PragerU is shocking to you, you have barely touched the surface of lefttube. Compared to the human filth that some have to debate against this is laughable

I hope the UK have fun finding their place inbetween the EU, the US, INDIA, CHINA, and let scotland go, because they would like to rejoin.
My stance on Brexit: Please stop standing in the door, wasting our time, and finally decide if you want to leave or not. EU's got more important things to deal with.
The people of the UK are quite clear about Brexit. Sadly, our politicians have decided to delay our leaving, in the hope that the people who voted to leave (the majority) will simply give up.
@@whynot5443 1) 51.9/48.1 wouldn't be a clear decision in favour of what film to watch at the weekend, let alone the future of a nation. 2) "The UK" includes Scotland and Northern Ireland. They voted to remain - in the case of Scotland, by a greater margin than any region voted to leave. 3) We haven't left because not even the groups that voted to leave agree with each other on exactly what that means. We're stuck between the ones who fancy us having a functional economy afterwards and the gung-ho wrist-slitting morons who keep talking about "managed no deal", a concept analogous to pumping the brakes on the landing gear of a 747 as it slams into a cliff. You're not even properly representing what's going on here. The champions of Leave have been driving the Brexit bus for 2 years now - the lack of progress is theirs.
@@Spunjji I said that Three Arrows was wrong to begin with the assumption that people voted to leave because of some vague idea of sovereignty, which was the thrust of the video he showed of Farage. People who voted to leave did so for many reasons, so, if Three Arrows wishes to portray himself as a speaker of the truth, he should have widened his sources. You are right to say that Scotland and N. Ireland voted to remain, however, this is not how a national referendum works, as you well know. A UK-wide referendum has to take each vote as equal to another and the majority of the people who voted in the UK voted to leave. The reasons for leaving are many, as are the reasons for remaining. However, the question on the ballot paper was to leave or to remain and people made their choice. We haven't left the EU because MPs from all parties and from both the leave and remain sides are pursuing their own political agendas, most of which have nothing to do with Brexit. It is not because they can't agree on what 'type' of Brexit we should have - most MPs are remainers, so they will never agree to any plan if it involves leaving the EU. In addition, the Labour Party seeks only one outcome - that of a General Election - and will do everything it can to achieve that goal. In short, all sides are playing games with the future of this country. There is a tendency to mock the people who voted to leave, as if they are not intelligent enough or wealthy enough, or young enough, to understand what they voted for. This is wrong and plays into the hands of the politicians who seek to manipulate the result of the referendum. We cannot live in a country that picks and chooses its democratic processes and outcomes. If we do so, no election results in the future will be considered valid - after all, which political party ever upheld the promises it made in its election manifesto? We are ALWAYS lied to, but sometimes we have to bite the bullet and accept that, in spite of its faults, our system is the only one we have.
17.4 million out of 46.5 million is 37.4%. There is no majority. If the data from the referendum is taken as a statistical figure (as it should be in the case of a non-binding, advisory) then the only thing it tells you is that the electorate it completely divided on the matter. My apologise to my European friends but the parliament is as divided as the people and the delay is it’s almost inevitable result.
@@whynot5443 No, you didn't say that. The comment I responded to doesn't contain those words, or indeed that argument in some other form. Your following post is one hell of a gish gallop - there is no reasonable way I can respond to every point you made, which has allowed you to hide a bunch of defective arguments, generalisations and outright falsehoods. Let's stick to the facts: we had an *advisory* referendum during which the Leave campaign committed several acts of election fraud to finance its disinformation. Leave won, and the government immediately insisted that the referendum be binding without presenting any logical argument why that should be the case. The people negotiating Brexit are representatives of the Leave campaign and yet they have created a plan so comprehensively terrible that it cannot get even a majority of Leave supporters behind it, let alone the rest of the country. Three Arrows is at no point condescending to Leave voters, but he does point out contradictions in the claims of its most vocal proponents. If that makes you feel attacked, you would be better off examining why than accusing everyone else of being mean to you.

Because he was able to leap frog pass university and was able to get a job as a commodities broker AT THE AGE OF 18!!!! He seems to be describing himself when talking about the European Union bureaucrat, so wtf is the difference?

In good news they probably will lose the next election, in bad news labour aren’t much better. I’m hoping for a coalition between labour, libdem and if we are lucky the one green mp.
I don't like this video because it makes me listen to/look at Nigel Farage.
@Ravinder Sian I'm not going to go into the politics because it would take a very long time, but just the constant smugness in his expression and the way he talks irritates me no end.
@Ravinder Sian I don't want to get into another goddamn politics argument on the internet, but essentially I just disagree on Brexit very strongly and and various other issues that can be simplified to 'he's on the right wing, I'm on the left'.
Ravinder Sian how about the obvious lies??
@ for example?
Of course it wouldn't be a prageru video without taking a shot at "useless college degrees"
yes ive heard Farage talk about this it was highly anti working class retoric saying working class kids should just leave school and work hard and get a job in the financial sector trouble is nigel few working class kids had the same opportunaties as you and you generally nead a degree if you want to get out of a minimum wage job
PragerU vs. Reality: That's not an innovative video title! That's just true.
"If one government's bad imagine how bad two governments would be!" Right out the gate the guy argues for the dissolution of the UK and devolution of local control to "the provinces" and he doesn't even realize it XD

You can tell it's for American audiences as college is called university in the UK and college is a different thing.
In the US "college" is used to talk about an institution that only grants undergraduate degrees. A university is an institution that grants both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
In the UK, college is preparatory, while universities grant degrees.
In both instances, divisions of the university may be called "college of [x]", or something similar.
@@Falcrist Firstly, that may once have been the technical difference in the US, but it is not 100% the case today. For instance, Boston College confers graduate degrees. Indeed, the first two colleges I thought of, BC and Bard College, both have graduate degree programs.
That aside, if we look at just the colloquial usages, I think it is correct to say that the US uses "college" where the UK uses "university" (or just "uni.") For instance, this conversation might take place in the US:
Ann: Barbara, are you going to college this year?
Barbara: I sure am, and I'm really looking forward to it!
A: What college are you going to?
B: Boston University.
In the UK, the word "college" in Ann's dialogue would be replaced with the word "university" even if the school to be attended were BC rather than BU.
@@burke615 Your colloquial usage is incorrect. BOTH university and college are used interchangeably. Outside of casual conversation, "college" refers to a school that only offers undergraduate degrees. "University" refers to a school that offers graduate degrees.
Older universities may be named according to different rules... but that's also true in the UK, where colleges are supposed to be parts of larger institutions (universities)... except sometimes when they're not.
You can also tell it's not aimed at UK audiences because nobody here wants to look at Nigel Farage.
Mr. Faranges' description of an "elite" ironically sounds like a description of himself.
"Never done a proper days work in their lives"
So in other words, they're Sargon fans?
Before I even start watching this video I want to say that I have lost faith in humanity because Pragur U’s videos are watched so much and liked 🤷♂️
I heard Pragur U tried to defend the holocaust
The view thing is because they have really aggressive ads

Max Hardcore legit I was watching hbomberguys video about brexit and got an ad from praeger U
Im british and I don't feel like the EU tells me how to live
ya boi shh the Tories whitepaper on brexit debunks the sovereign idea by stating we’ve always had it.
Anyone on the EU feels that,just some politicians that demonstrate that all they want is more and more power and what bother them is having to cooperate with others
Sorry but the Red Herring joke was flawless & amazing you made me laugh like a fool damn you!
Germans are efficient with jokes
German humor is generally shit, but the rare times it's good, it's really fucking good.
It’s worth noting that the opposition to “big government” and social welfare that is rampant in the United States didn’t really appear until black people were allowed to use welfare.
Also something to ponder, some of the best gun regulation laws in america were passed in a state run by a little known Ronald Reagan. Why ? Cause there were too many black panthers with guns. (and honestly I understand, can you imagine a giant cat with guns ?)
Also, nobody cared about the use of drugs in America until advisors of the Nixon Administration began to scapegoat anti-war activists and the black community with drugs, and attempts at policing of said drug offenses were only done in minority neighborhoods and on minority people, a lot and the Reagan Administration began a crackdown on those communities while the same Reagan Administration funded death squads in Latin America that also helped drug cartels ship their drugs onto American shores.
13:24 He's basically admitting that he didn't understand how the EU operated when he was elected as an MEP...
That was never his intention. His goal was to squeeze out as much money as he could with the least amount of work and block a seat for someone who actually wants to be there.
So?
Actually... Farage is correct.
@@Tespri You don't understand what I said. He's saying that when he was elected he didn't know that they moved between the two cities, so he's admitting that he didn't really know much about the EU when he became an MEP. I never said that it was a lie.
@@rcm926
Did you know about them moving between two cities? How many remainers do you think know? I have been part of politics for long time and trust me, there are lot of open secrets that peasants like you will never know until you join any party.
"I'll take the good sense of an Italian farmer or a French baker over the arid intellectualism of an EU Bureaucrat any day." Not even 5 minutes prior, "Believe me-I know, because for seventeen years, I've represented South East England as a member of the European Parliament, the EU's legislative body."
I have to admit, he does make a compelling argument there.
The funny thing about the fishing situation is if anyone was in the position to improve the UK fishing industry it was Nigel Farage, who was on the fishing committee. But he only went to one meeting. So him swanning up the Themes throwing dead fish in the river for a publicity stunt was even more ridiculous than it already seemed.
I’m proud to say I knew about the cod wars before this video came out
Those were dark days...
Lol same. Truly the most brutal of wars.

The whole story is just mad as all hell. Iceland don’t give a fuck 😂

I'm not a socialist, more a liberal centre-ground voter, but boy do you make great videos. Rational arguments based on facts.
The biggest problem with Brexit is a lot of the leave arguments have been based around simplistic soundbites. The reality of leaving the EU is far more complex, yet much harder to defend in the same way. It takes time, context and detail. And the failure here has absolutely been down to current politics in the UK.
I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed (and concerned) by the British political system. This is not the country I grew up and spent most of my adult life in.
I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of this:
www.humantruth.info/SimpleButWrong.jpg
My thoughts exactly. I feel deeply embarrassed by just how poorly educated so much of our political leadership really is. David Davis admitted that he didn't even understand how Article 50 worked, even though he'd been flogging it most of his political career. The issue, I personally feel, is that the Leave campaign made the EU a lightning rod for gripes that are really about London and the central government. Economic stagnation, the erosion of local council autonomy and so forth. Unfortunately of course, good old fashioned nationalist xenophobia seems to have played a role too.
Same

Just watch it on the job
The PragerU video this is based on is shocking to me in how nakedly propagandistic it is.
Don't know whether that means I'm sucked deeper into LeftTube, or that Farage is a using blunt-instrument rhetoric.
Good video.
All PragerU videos are propaganda for conservatives and right wing groups, they once tried to argue that the alt-right is the same as the left because they focus on the individual. That's how far fetched they are.
If PragerU is shocking to you, you have barely touched the surface of lefttube. Compared to the human filth that some have to debate against this is laughable

My stance on Brexit: Please stop standing in the door, wasting our time, and finally decide if you want to leave or not. EU's got more important things to deal with.
The people of the UK are quite clear about Brexit. Sadly, our politicians have decided to delay our leaving, in the hope that the people who voted to leave (the majority) will simply give up.
@@whynot5443 1) 51.9/48.1 wouldn't be a clear decision in favour of what film to watch at the weekend, let alone the future of a nation.
2) "The UK" includes Scotland and Northern Ireland. They voted to remain - in the case of Scotland, by a greater margin than any region voted to leave.
3) We haven't left because not even the groups that voted to leave agree with each other on exactly what that means. We're stuck between the ones who fancy us having a functional economy afterwards and the gung-ho wrist-slitting morons who keep talking about "managed no deal", a concept analogous to pumping the brakes on the landing gear of a 747 as it slams into a cliff.
You're not even properly representing what's going on here. The champions of Leave have been driving the Brexit bus for 2 years now - the lack of progress is theirs.
@@Spunjji I said that Three Arrows was wrong to begin with the assumption that people voted to leave because of some vague idea of sovereignty, which was the thrust of the video he showed of Farage. People who voted to leave did so for many reasons, so, if Three Arrows wishes to portray himself as a speaker of the truth, he should have widened his sources. You are right to say that Scotland and N. Ireland voted to remain, however, this is not how a national referendum works, as you well know. A UK-wide referendum has to take each vote as equal to another and the majority of the people who voted in the UK voted to leave. The reasons for leaving are many, as are the reasons for remaining. However, the question on the ballot paper was to leave or to remain and people made their choice. We haven't left the EU because MPs from all parties and from both the leave and remain sides are pursuing their own political agendas, most of which have nothing to do with Brexit. It is not because they can't agree on what 'type' of Brexit we should have - most MPs are remainers, so they will never agree to any plan if it involves leaving the EU. In addition, the Labour Party seeks only one outcome - that of a General Election - and will do everything it can to achieve that goal. In short, all sides are playing games with the future of this country. There is a tendency to mock the people who voted to leave, as if they are not intelligent enough or wealthy enough, or young enough, to understand what they voted for. This is wrong and plays into the hands of the politicians who seek to manipulate the result of the referendum. We cannot live in a country that picks and chooses its democratic processes and outcomes. If we do so, no election results in the future will be considered valid - after all, which political party ever upheld the promises it made in its election manifesto? We are ALWAYS lied to, but sometimes we have to bite the bullet and accept that, in spite of its faults, our system is the only one we have.
17.4 million out of 46.5 million is 37.4%. There is no majority. If the data from the referendum is taken as a statistical figure (as it should be in the case of a non-binding, advisory) then the only thing it tells you is that the electorate it completely divided on the matter. My apologise to my European friends but the parliament is as divided as the people and the delay is it’s almost inevitable result.
@@whynot5443 No, you didn't say that. The comment I responded to doesn't contain those words, or indeed that argument in some other form. Your following post is one hell of a gish gallop - there is no reasonable way I can respond to every point you made, which has allowed you to hide a bunch of defective arguments, generalisations and outright falsehoods. Let's stick to the facts: we had an *advisory* referendum during which the Leave campaign committed several acts of election fraud to finance its disinformation. Leave won, and the government immediately insisted that the referendum be binding without presenting any logical argument why that should be the case. The people negotiating Brexit are representatives of the Leave campaign and yet they have created a plan so comprehensively terrible that it cannot get even a majority of Leave supporters behind it, let alone the rest of the country. Three Arrows is at no point condescending to Leave voters, but he does point out contradictions in the claims of its most vocal proponents. If that makes you feel attacked, you would be better off examining why than accusing everyone else of being mean to you.
