- A fractured country, people looking past one another as we fail to listen to each other's concerns.

The very schism of Brexit, regrets at voting the wrong way, on both sides, frustration that it's all still going on. When will it end? Who knows? Maybe our very own Brexit odd couple, Alastair Campbell and Jacob Rees-Mogg, can tell us. We took them on a trip to Lewisham market in south-east London, to see if they could find peace over the delicacies on sale.

His wife left him because he voted for Leave? Poor man is in denial.
He voted to leave her - but she beat him to it.
So, he had no conversations about Brexit with his German wife before the vote? Something smells a bit fishy.
Lucky escape imo.
Lol
I cringed so hard when he said that
JRM: "I think bananas are disgusting", AC: "I think bananas are wonderful". The essence of politics. Lol.
I love bananas - but I dislike Campbell.
@Shaun Nickalls My opinion is split...
She got as far as "Here is a shopping list to buy bananas" before they found something to heatedly debate about.
A bit like AC saying "prices will go up" and JRM saying "prices will go down" ..... and neither having a single way of backing up their claim..... now *that* is politics!!
Voting leave and being married to a German national sums Brexit up in heartbeat. Like all the English living in Spain voting leave, you just can’t make it up.
If your marriage broke down over a political issue, I daresay it wasn't very strong to begin with
Yup.... Agreed.... Marriage of convenient.... Don't be sorry.
Hmmm seems a little set up to me
A political issue... LOL.
The man is clearly stupid. Not only he did it, but he told his wife about it as well.
I daresay, its yet another story that is worthy of the "stuff that never happened" archive.
@@JH-ci7gu I think you may be right. I can't understand how you couldn't have discussed how you were thinking of voting with your partner beforehand!?
I can't stop laughing at Alastairs reaction to the weird gyno's whopper story!
😂
How about you take these two somewhere that is outside the London bubble where most communities voted leave? See if anyone there have changed their minds, London voted remain!
Even inside central London where they "benefit" the most and immigration doesn't cause the direct issues that you see around the rest of the country it was still fairly tight. If that doesn't give politicians a second thought then we really need to be using phrases like "permanent revolution" to describe what needs to happen in politics here.
Something tells me it wasn't voting leave that ended his "successful" marriage...
Yeah, he spends 8 hours a day looking at rotten klunge. It's no wonder he was unable to keep her satisfied.
You've lost a good opportunity to be quiet...
If you think what he did is not stupid... then obviously you are stupid as well.
It's as simple as that.
@@kaba_me : Yes, he was stupid for telling his clearly emotionally unstable wife that he voted for Brexit.
I get the impression K ME most things in your life are quite simple.
Does anyone actually buy into that last guys story? Absolute tosh.
Even Nigel Farage said that NHS staff will be allowed into the country under an Australian points based system. Absolute tosh is right.
Actually many relations broke apart which is odd i agree but it did happen
@@theancientsancients1769 There is a new law protecting men from coercive control from their wives. He should have called the police and got her re-educated in prison.
Some people want to leave a relationship and it just takes something to trigger it. So maybe it was true, who knows...
@@jfndfiunskj5299 You're right it maybe true but if it is true, what kind of person thinks that they can choose the opinions and speech of others people. Answer ; a Fascist/Liberal! The Germans, plus ça change plus c'est la même chose,
They find the wife and ask her, ' Yes, it's true, i was angry about him voting leave, that and him bonking half the nurses was the final straw'
Beautifully orchestrated sob story at the end. Well done C4
Some people do just need to grow up. All adults have lived through votes that didn't go their way. Is it "divisive" to have 2 major political parties? I don't believe that pathetic doctor has grown up enough to practise professionally.
Whats really happened is he voted brexit to get rid of his wife, she was allowed to stay so he told her :P come on u really gonna break up over a political decision. Never trust the germans especially if it your wife
Look on Alastairs face
Imagine blaming your divorce on Brexit... :')
Pathetic, she was looking for and excuse.
James O Brien will have yet another reason to Berate people for voting to leave the EU.
Tony Blair's spin doctor should be in prison
And you should be in an asylum
@@davidcolley7714 just think of the war in Iraq and the lies told by Tony and his mates to drag us into a war that posed no personal direct danger to him and his family.
@@davidcolley7714 If we had a referendum on what should happen to Blair and his cronies including, Campbell, Adonis, Mandelson, also Major and Brown, the choices on the ballot should be, chuck them in a dungeon and forget about them or Hung drawn and quartered.
@@davidcolley7714 Hi Alastair! Do you ever think about all those kids you helped kill in Iraq when you're lying in bed?
Hahaha! That minge inspector blaming his voting for brexit for the divorce from his German wife is hilarious! I'm not happy he is divorced, but I am pleased I have now found the number one most ridiculous thing that has been blamed on brexit yet.
You'd be surprised. There are families split on the issue, and is in part why there is Brexit fatigue emerging in the country. The political class as a whole have lost a greater argument than Brexit: the argument against cynicism.
Looks like his marriage was on the rocks anyway if that's all it took
He should have phoned the police coercive control of a spouse is now illegal.
Love these two together. Must do more often. Interresting conversations.
The Doctors story has nothing to do with whether Brexit good or bad more that his marriage was built on straw...so off topic
Sound bites for CH4 News - they can't help themselves.
That German woman is now living with a 27 year old African immigrant.
How did you come up with that information?
It's his sexual fantasy.
Good for her! And the bloke is lonely
Ha ha, I love Jacob, but you can tell he's not used to doing his own shopping!
Ha ha tell those who are saying he is Man if people. My back side . They say Enemy of Nanny State who has 6 Nanny !!
HAHA. WHAT A HOOT. So glad that after breaking free from the elites we can finally hand ourselves over to an über rich landlord toff who was born into wealth and consistently votes to keep him and his rich friends richer whilst making sure his housing doesn't have to be safe for living
If JRM ever becomes PM, we be back to sending little boys up chimneys.
@To Err is Huma yee I suppose , you are right . He has a big gap, I give him that , and he has never moved anything heavy than Spoons !
he is a middle class prat trying to act like a upper class twit . a jumped up little oick if you will .@To Err is Huma
A very nice video. Jacob listens intens to any persons opinion, shows respect and is therefore respected by many. He is never ever 'full' of himself. If only half of politians would 'realy' listen, it would perhaps all work half better !?
Didn't Jacob Rees-Mogg during a parliamentary debate say an extremely long word, whose meaning no one else knew, and which was irrelevant, just for his own amusement? And you're saying that he's not full of himself?
I'm pointing out evidence that JRM is indeed full of himself.
J.L.N. Newton You don't know much about him do you?
I don't think it's a bad thing to be full of oneself, actually. But since J.L.N. believes it to be so, I was pointing out, that contrary to his belief, JRM is indeed full of himself.
Are you still labouring under the delusion that, if only Remainers would stop criticizing Brexit (because apparently freedom of speech is now anti-British), the government could have got a good deal? That was never going to happen! I could explain to you why 'Canada' for example would not be a good deal. I could also explain to you why 'Canada' was never on offer anyway. But I don't think you'd care to learn. The Brexit cause is a religion in effect.
There was NEVER a regulation on Bananas. There was one for cucumber for some time, on the request of the food industry, and it wasn't really happy when the EU decided to end the rule. But nobody ever had any concerns about how Bananas are bend. The cucumber thing was mostly about having one common standard.
The cucumber thing was also about the Polish producing and selling a type of gherkin (kwaszona, I think it's called) that was new in the EU, so prior to Poland joining, the Polish standards of kwaszona gherkins had to be added to EU standards (as in "what is a kwaszona gherkin"). I know because I'm Hungarian and we make them (kovászos), but only made them at home at the time, did ot sell them in shops in jars. You can still buy kwaszona gherkins in some British supermarkets and those EU standards are still in place in Poland.
GET THOSE BANANAS AWAY FROM ME!!!!
Alastair Campbell would stockpile bananas virtually the only product the EU doesn't produce.
Been told by the PR department NEVER to touch a banana, in the presences of the press, EVER!
@@MrB1923 An obvious trap. Like Gordon Brown with the ice-cream cone. Edd Miliband and the bacon sandwich or David Miliband and the Banana.
mogg in a closet bananalover.
5.20 if your marriage breaks up over Brexit that is ridiculous and BS
Dr David Kelly RIP. Why is C4 giving Campbell air time and why is Jacob stooping so low to be seen out with him?
@PAGE Churchill had Stalin poisoned!
That guy that got divorced because of Brexit is lying big time. If that destroyed your marriage then your marriage wasn’t working out anyways.
Why do we still need to hear from Campbell, he's not even an MP, just a mouthy, bullying journalist who got lucky with his mate Blair!
The EU bent banana regulation was about which bananas are classified as "Class I" bananas, and replaced a pre-existing British regulation that did pretty much the same thing.
"My wife left me because I voted Leave, that means we should have another vote"
His wife forgets her children voted leave the day they were born.
It is always refreshing to watch this old videos and see how things have unfolded. And if even highly academically trained as gynecologist can make a stupid decision and then come to conclusion - no one should feel ashamed about his decision. If you have a mind, you can always change it. You have just grown and understood better.
You would have expected someone like him would have had better judgement. I almost got kicked in in pubs when campaigning remain in 2016. Lucky I could defend myself, threw a fella across a floor and left. Expect that from idiots, not a doctor.
I hope that woman wanting him for prime minister has choked on her words
Jacob Rees-Mogg 'food prices will go down'. What a plum.
Why on earth would any one want to listen to Alistair Campbell? Have they forgotten he was instrumental in taking us into an illegal war in Iraq. I honestly don’t know how he has the arrogance to face the public again.
The war parties, namely the Conservatives and Labour, won an overwhelming majority of both votes and seats at the next election in 2005. So the British people endorsed it. They are warmongers by your standards.
By the way, who was against the war? The EU.
Exactly that, arrogance; Campbell firmly believes he is more intelligent and knows better than other people.
Not gonna lie this was awesome. I could only imagine similar dialogue happening in my country
I’d love to ask Jacob “How much is a pint of milk?” I suspect he could tell me how much a Bentley costs to drive for an hour, instead.
If brexit ended your marriage, it's more down to her being incapable of accepting the opposing position is not about attacking her but just disagreeing.
I think the real reason she left him was that he kept bringing his work home.
I really could not see the point on doing this the woman that owned the cafe we are still in the EU so there is still people coming here so may be your wages are not up to much and as for that dr well blaming your brake up of your marriage on voting leave think your marriage was not good before that this sort of filming is just daft and to be hornets why mr mogg would get involved with Campbell I'm not sure that was a good move
Are you a waspi with your hornets there
Notice you only watched part of this clip? Cos there is lots you didn't mention
At the time, no-one knew or had any assurances that if the leave campaign won, that European visitors would be allowed to keep their residency in the UK. The guy said he was naive and it must've been a spur of the moment argument with him not understanding and being dismissive, that probably led to them separating. Human psychology doesn't follow consistent trends otherwise everyone would be a professor if their guesses were so infallible
I actually felt a little bad for the Toff at the end when he’s asked to give this dude marriage counselling
Mr Campbell asked if it was because Mr Rees Mogg told the public that Brexit would be straightforward and easy
but did he really say that ? AND did Mr Campbell tell the public that Brexit would be so so so COMPLICATED ?
I can't decide if that guy was a Channel 4 or Alastair Campbell plant.
Yes Alastair, a banana is not a staple food so you probably shouldn't stockpile it. How can I take anything you say serious after such a silly suggestion?!?! 🤣
It was in reference to jacob rees mog complaining about EU banana regulations.
Stinks of a setup!
I Love Jacob.😊 Poor man, having to put up with that Slimy Toerag Campbell😬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tina Maher Campbell is smarter then you will ever be. That Jacob guy is a spineless individual I cannot see what any English would see in him.
Harlock2day Go away, you IDIOTIC KNOBHEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😅😅😅
Campbell is an ideologue.
MrKingdig Well Said. Campbell, is a VILE CREEP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀
@@Harlock2day Does Dr Harold Shipman ring any bells, Harlock?
MOGG for PM soonest please, like next week !
You got to love democracy " Please vote if you want to leave the EU " - Votes leave - " um no, thats not what we wanted you to vote, lets flood the media with propaganda and vote again "
2016 was the second referendum. 1975 was the first referendum. Leavers didn't accept the overwhelming Remain vote. And, no, they didn't wait 41 years, as is often claimed. The Labour Party promised Brexit without even a second referendum in its 1983 general-manifesto manifesto. UKIP was founded in 1993. Leavers didn't respect democracy, and now they're telling Remainers to respect a narrow Leave win on the basis of lies.
Oh my, a lovely marriage that was. She must have loved Germany more than him. Good to find out now rather than later, eh?
Never trust a man who doesn't like bananas
These two are having great fun as a political Laurel & Hardy comedy duo with potential to survive Brexit and go on to make the reality TV ratings
As a present for the PM i would get an electric chair
A suitcase, bubble wrap and cardboard boxes.
Test it on you first
I'd pay the electric bill.
@@davidcolley7714 That comment pretty much Identifies you as a remoaner or LOOSER sure they both fit well
The public already voted to leave. If you want a second referendum the question should be May’s deal or leave on WTO. I’d vote WTO. Funny how it’s only dreadful remoaners wanting a second referendum to get us to stay in.
5:32 - their faces. priceless.
The gynaecologist doesn’t know as much about women as he thought !
They need to do this again.
Is the guy who split up with his wife over Brexit real or an actor?? Seems abit over the top lol. Obviously they would have talked about it beforehand.
Look at him. She's been looking for an excuse for years.
Paid actor. Funny how it finished on the note of a fucked up story pushing remain.
Day off work dressed in a suit and tie?...His wife probably got sick of him going on about manginas all day..He looks like he's off that film hostel. Haha
@@popfoz7169 : Exactly - "my wife has shipped out, my daughters won't talk to me... But give us another damn vote!"
Tin foil hat alert! "What I'm watching has a negative impact on my stupid beliefs, so it MUST be a setup."
That taxi ride was probably the closest Jacob’s ever been to a brown person not cleaning his office
Isnt it ironic that Alastair Campbell ignored the million of people marching in protest against invading Iraq but now hes all about the peoples vote and protesting Brexit
That remainer is a rotten liar, he is just acting. He never voted leave..
What a nasty setup, I am not even from UK but it sickens me to watch these staged programs from Channel 4, the EU membership does not make any difference to NHS, any real doctor should know that, yet we are to believe that he was naive, well if he was that much of an idiot then, what would make his current opinion any better
@@sacredsoma Tbf one of the biggest arguments was the proclamation that there was going to be "350 million a week to the NHS" as a Brexit dividend. That promise evaporated as soon as the referendum ended.
Once again it shows that people were lied to
@@vksepe Errrr but as yet there has been NO BREXIT so you are jumping the gun!
@@vksepe Really has this nation never had an election, are they so naive as to rely on campaign ads and imagine that campaigners won't exaggerate their side, did the remain campaign not lie, this is so tiresome, that 350 million is not even too inaccurate, I have worked on at least 2 EU research projects and have seen more money than that go to waste for fake expenses which were never audited
It's true that we haven't had Brexit yet. But that wouldn't stop the government from earmarking the money now. Furthermore, it needs to be more than £350 million extra a week, because that amount will buy less now, and presumably will buy even less post-Brexit, than it would have bought pre-referendum.
There is something rather odd-sounding from the doctor who claimed that his wife left him because he voted Brexit. The doctor then went on to state that there should be another Referendum... would his wife then come back if he tells her he has voted Remain? What a totally bizarre and unbelievable story... was this man some strange plant?
Completely ridiculous story at the end. The gynecologist was probably blaming his own faults on Brexit. I'm a proud, dual British and German national and I voted for Brexit, and I would also vote for Dexit - although I doubt that opportunity will come around. Love Europe - the greatest continent and civilisation on earth. Hate the EU - an updated version of the Soviet Union.
Jacob Rees Mogg is Still Living in the 19th Century Victorian Era 🎩
His aristocratic stchick is affected. It's all made up.
Wait a sec..
He voted leave when he is married to a German living in the UK and she felt betrayed..
Would never have seen that coming.
Anti-immigration people see 'their' immigrants as exceptions. It's the other immigrants who are bad, haha.
Every country has immigration. The EU did not invent the movement of people. I'm English and I'm moving to Malaysia it just takes a bit of effort I don't expect the same chances of the locals because I'm not a citizen. Immigrants should have to prove their worth to a country not just be treated to the same benefits as citizens just for showing up
@@alexanderhowarth6460facts, so many people live in Coocoo land
Campbell never asked about a second referendum when the person said stay.
"Are you surprised at how complicated it's become?"
It's only become complicated, because of the MPs who are trying to frustrate the will of the people.
Alistair was absolutely right.
Did his wife leave him via a hard leave or soft leave ...
hard to get people to apply for a part time cafe chef job in london
not a huge surprise really how are they going to survive off that
Yes the wages would hardly pay the rent alone never mind the other costs of living in London.
Business owners will always say stay ,ask the general public not business owners
Strange how BoE boss Mark Carney is so negative about Brexit, while former boss Mervyn King is very positive.
Mogg for PM!
Campbell is actually quite funny for a prat
Just Smashing JRM is a prize tool.
tory scumbags @@aerial_camera_video_imaging
Just Smashing you'd be ok with sending little boys up chimneys then?
yeah, I only liked him after he reacted to the Gyno's rubbish brexit marriage breakup
Quality editing getting them both saying yes to two different things while you push the agenda of a 4th vote on this! I can see the tricks you play!
Campbell's idea of democracy is that you vote again and again until he gets the result he wants.
Exactly. That's how all intellectuals view the world. "Do what we enlightened thinkers tell you or you're stupid and we'll wait until the next election to force it onto you."
I have some issues with the Tories as well but Labour has just gone off the deep end.
Almost like he worked in a democratic system were people vote for change every 5 years
Don't believe a word that comes out of Alastair Campbell's mouth.
Actually he there were many marriages relationships and friendships that fell apart and many who left their jobs and the country which seemed very strange to me over a political decision
As an American hearing for the first time about a “specific regulation on the curvature” of bananas it’s so funny (& ludicrous) I can’t stop laughing. Please tell me that’s not true….
there is this fantasy that brussels invents sh*t and imposes it on the EU member states. That banana law (along with all others) was proposed by an EU member head of state and the british representative voted to support it, hence it became law. What the smog has to say is irrelevant
Not really. It was about different classes and qualities of bananas. It actually replaced a British regulation that was already in place. It was just another bit of fear mongering by the Leave campaign
Alistair Campbell like most remainers is wrong on the banana thing - not only was there a regulation (2257/94) of bananas, it graded them (via a technical note attached to the regulation) and then banned everything below a certain grade from import into the customs union - and one of the aspects to that regulation was the bend (there were actually elements in the regulation that were even more absurd than that). I don't know many times I've had people tell me I'm wrong on this and I'm sure people will do again here but here's my retort: if this didn't happen, how is it that when it was raised that the commission had to create a new regulation (1333/2011 - took 7 years by the way) undoing it all when shamed into doing so. It boggles my mind that we still have to listen to people who have held unelected high office claiming this wasn't a thing when it plainly was - and still is in the case of things that aren't bananas.
Only watched because of mogg, the other 2 I do not have time for
'Consultant on his day off........' yeah right, in his work suit.
Mogg for Dr who
Why was a lass chosen to be the new Doctor, because due to cost cutting it would be beneficial for the actor to come with a box of their own.
They need to start telling the whole dirty truth. I know brits don’t like experts and economists or lawyers. But there need to be an half hour of honest information about brexit every day. What will it cost? How high r tariffs on WTO rules? What is happening to the pound? What aces has the UK left? What r the costs of the 60+ other free trade deals that will be gone after brexit? How high r the costs of staying really compared to the benefits? How will it it effect food prices? Do we have to adopt the horrible US food standards?......... people still know nothing after 2 years
Love Jacob Rees-Mogg
You are well rid of the German cow ,, 🤔😂😂😂
Tom Hardy moonlighting as a green grocer. 3:10 😳😂
Anyone else think that C4 with Campbell set that bloke up in the coffee house who lost his wife through Brexit?
Like they got Krishnan Guru-Murthy to seduce the wife and get her to leave him just for the sake of a story afterwards?
Sure. I believe you. Dastardly.
I bet C4 set up Farage too.
MOGG FOR PM
The real division in this country is between Mogg and Campbell, why can't they be the leaders of our parties?
The difference between British people and other Europeans is that we differentiate Europe and the E.U whereas lots of mainland European countries don't.
Nice to see them wearing their seatbelts
Really sad that in lieu of an absence of leadership in the labour party that we have to rely on Alistair Campbell and Tony Blair to fight for remain. Certainly not great optics. Britain needs a young and passionate voice explaining to them the negative implications of Brexit.
Don't know why Jacob waste's his time....
Why are they not wearing seatbelts?
Love JRM.
Must be great just having people of all sorts wander over and say they want you to be PM.
Its the first thing I would say to him if I met him
"But, at the end of the day, I think the British public should have another shot at this."
And how many more shots after that?
Presumably, until they vote the other way?
The only reason why it’s complicated is because of the EU not Britain!
Anecdotes are not evidence based arguments.
Gotta love Mogg!
Campbell should be PM
Mogg for PM
Powerful story at the end - should make any of us sad.
It's so easy to shutdown the 2nd referendum argument. If the 2nd referendum were to result in a remain vote then can we have a 3rd vote!?
Two months for a part time chef vacancy. Things haven changed one bit, whichis a great outlook for those foreigners who are willi got get jobs in Britain. But a friend d told me it all went down the drain be cause of Corona.
