You are our criminals😁
I'm sure He wants to live in BongoBongo Land😟

@@CoroDan I’ve been,lots of aussies have a sense of humor , but it appears not all
One of yours (Murdoch) is half the reason for the mess we're in.
Conning people is easy, you just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they have been conned is much harder because you need to overcome their pride.
James O’Brien cons people every day. He pretends to be left wing, while he perpetuates the class system, by sending his children to private school.
What a brilliant say that really puts it into prospective 😂
What an excellent way to put it
This is absolutely correct. I was discussing Brexit with a leaver the other day who says it’ll all be for the better eventually. But he was unable at this point to suggest how that might happen. He just doesn’t want to face up to the fact he was duped and made a bad decision.
@Music-oi2nf Yes he was duped NOT by Sir Nigel Farage, but by your Tory government. FACT!
The damage Farage has done to this country.
I blame the people who voted for Brexit and believed all the lies.
@@traceyobrien4505 both to blame
Get rid of this guy and ask him to be accountable for all this mess! So tired of those politicians who are always escaping all consequences! If you fail at your job, you get fired!!!
Not Farage. It was the UK people!
@@ivan-Croatian What does the EU do, that an actual free market cannot do?
I voted Remain. I did some EU Directives into UK Law. My father and my sister are still fully signed up to Brexit. My sister even said she gets annoyed when people say, that Brexit was racism. So I asked her why she voted Leave, and she replied "Immigration" and then she got upset when I smiled. The irony was lost on her. I really think these people are incapable of thinking.
Your sister was right and she voted correctly. Thanks to heavens for such people! It´s British politicians who are to blame for immigration and other stuff, not the idea of Brexit per se. As a matter of fact, you Brits are now enjoying a lot more freedom of choice to "navigate your own ship" as a sovereign country in contrast to most of the nations in EU. That´s why you´re so skeptical about Brexit and your own future since you do not face the dictate of the unelected socialist-bureaucratic juggernaut. Incidentally, no one said that Brexit would be easy, plus many powerful people as well as media have done their best to sabotage its outcome because they had never thought that it would end like this. The whole referendum thing was meant to be a farce with only one possible outcome. But it did not work out as the people in the shadows had intended. One way or another, you´re going to profit from leaving the EU, but it´ll take some more time and pain.
@@miroslavvitek8855 the people in the shadows, bruh, sometimes things aren`t that complicated, take a bunch of populists, say conservative politicians and give them the media reach to talk about it all day long and at some point enough people will have gathered that know what they want but not what the consequences are
Farage is a criminal he stolen our freedom
@@miroslavvitek8855 ahahahaha
@JeffPietersen Thanks Jeff.
Whilst we are busy blaming people I believe Rupert Murdoch has a lot to answer for, not only concerning Brexit but for the awful culture in American and global politics too.
Yep Murdoch is a cancer on us all. Love from the US
Are you aware The Sunday Times supported remain?
This. Murdoch has so much power over the UK and US. Whatever policy he wants to pass, he can literally accomplish it with the help of his Daily Mail and Fox minions. It’s actually scary to wonder how long he has been manipulating the West. And where we could be without this partisan world we live in.
Rupert Murdoch is a very dangerous man and has been so all his life , scumbag
Murdock supported both sides which was always going to be win win . He with his media decides who is going to be the next government ask people like Tony Blair. It’s a game of manipulation that he controls.
Farage should stand trial for his lies.
Trial by execution too.
trial for what? what crime / tort do you think he has committed ?
@@thomashallam273 Lying and looking squinty. That's enough. Lock him up!
A class action lawsuit to bankrupt him.
@@thomashallam273 Lying about the Brexit benefits...which never existed.
😂😂😂 As an American, I love your desrved, condescending criticisms of your country's so-called "conservatives". Just like here, all they can do is cause and create problems for which, they NEVER have any solutions for. Just more complaints about.
Problems? Did US right-wing cause fuel prices to rocket? Left-wing Obama started the problems at the southern border. Left-wing Congress exacerbated it, by refusing funding for the right-wing solutions. There are a myriad of problems caused by the left-wing, who shift the blame onto their convenient bogeyman.
See the Democrats are doing a sterling job 👏
Bidens approval is 38% (did he ever get over 40) and 54% of Democrats don't want him to run next year. Many of our issue's can be traced back to that administration.
Pretty sure he'll clear off to a nursing home in February 2024 and leave the world his stinking mess to sort.
Yeah, we hear all kinds of strange news about your future president Ron DeSantis.
@@ditnooitweer Hehehe, that's hilarious!! Yea, there is NO WAY Ron can win the Presidential election!! You'll see. Biden is unbeatable but, the Gaslighting Media will pretend otherwise and skew polls to anger and scare people. Believe it. Biden will be reelected.
@@inspectit210 only as a puppet.
The only positive about Brexit is that it killed the idea of leaving the EU in the rest of the EU. All the EU political leavers in Italy have disappeared. Thanks England for jumping first. Sorry you landed on your face.
I blame David Cameron, his weak spine to confront Farage instead of caving to his threats is what put us in this mess.
I blame Elon Musk.
100% but it wasn't confronting Farage where Cameron failed but his inability to be honest about the role the Conservative Party have played over generations in the negative impact on the lives of the majority of Britons. And they keep on trucking.
He’s also a coward who got us in this mess and then quit immediately because he didn’t want to deal with it.
Exactly this. He used the fate of the nation as gambling chips in an intra-party dispute, betting that they would not risk burning down the whole house and would fall in line. And when the house did catch on fire, he was the first to run.
Absolutely. David Cameron is a foolish man.
"If brexit is a disaster I'll become an immigrant in another country", said the man who stands guard on beachy head against immigrants.
You forgot the word illegal though didnt you.
@@sonofsomerset1695 brexit has nothing to do with illegal immigration mate they could come here legally try again. You voted to stop eu migration not World migration. So your comment doesn’t apply here

@@sonofsomerset1695 No, no. Pretty much all of the immigrants.
UK gets brexit and US gets Trump. Not a coincidence.
Brexit was way worse for the UK than Trump was for the entire world. The disaster is simply unmitigated.

What's the EU needed for, that a true free market cannot do?
I'm a Malaysian working in Singapore. Both countries are in the Commonwealth and have millions of investment in the UK, but most if not all of them were prior to Brexit. This was due to the familiarity of the language, laws, culture and much more due to being former colonies of the British. In short, we were used to the British and found it easier to invest in the UK because of that, and as a gateway into the EU. Post-Brexit, businesses here are concentrating on investments in the EU directly, and bypassing the UK, despite the different legal systems and languages. Oh, and Malaysia and Singapore are part of ASEAN (Association of South-East Asia Nations), which aspires to integrate their economies like the EU.
As for the Brexiter's dream or aspiration of becoming a Singapore-on-Thames, well, Singaporeans are more pragmatic and realistic than Brexiters. They had to be in order to create the modern and successful Singapore that Brexiters want to emulate. Ask them if they want to exit ASEAN or exit the EU if they were part of it, the answer would be a resounding NO.
Almost everybody here that I talked to about Brexit thought that it was financial and business suicide for the British. And most if not all, put it down to the UK harking back to the days of the British Empire. It wasn't helped by the fact that many Brexiter politicians and businessmen thought that the Commonwealth and the World would gladly trade with the UK on an individual basis. Why should they? And what advantage is there to trading with the UK when it is not a gateway into the EU? Business is business, and it would always look at the bottom line. Brexiters seemed to have forgotten that, or totally ignored it altogether.
Yes.
But you know what would happen if you told all that to a brexlet.
@@verystripeyzebra I tried telling them.
I even made the analogy of the UK getting corner shop prices instead of supermarket ones.
Their arrogance was too strong for them to listen .
The OP is right. It was Empire 2.0
Exactly, it's why it did so well with the Boomer generation; nostalgia for their youth, 50s and 60s, blinded them to all the benefits of being in the EU.
Wise words. You couldn't explain it any better.😀👍
Absolutely spot on!!!!!
As Farage is not an elected politician, why does he get so much coverage?
He didn't even turn up to work when he was...
it's because Farage was one of the loudest voices for Brexit now he's tucking his tail between his legs when asked hard questions about why Brexit has failed to deliver what he and his xenophobic buddies said it would.
Sensation drives engagement.
BBC gave him a lot of coverage.
I've often wondered that too.
Don't send him here to the US! We've got enough of these guys.
Well said
Brexit was one of the best things that could happen for the EU. Get rid of the annoying entitled complaining UK and binding EU members closer together in the process.
I hope you will make it out alright and prosper, but I for one am glad you guys are out.
Greets from NL
All the best from a Remainer and someone who loves visiting NL. Not all of us think the same way, but fully understand you saying what you do.
Why don’t you emigrate to UK then
@@arbjful….can you read?
I agree about "binding EU members more together", but I am not happy that the UK left, and I hope to see them come back with a new spirit of "not only looking at the benefits, but actually supporting in building a Europe with a bright future, even if it means compromises"..

Farage claims he knows the type of Brexit that would’ve been great for Britain but he didn’t want to tell anyone or get involved in the process and people still think he’s a serious guy 😂
A lot like Trump. He always had a "secret plan" for whatever, that is always fabulous. (Just like everything totally theoretical and impractical can be.)
@@i-love-space390or like any populist movement
It's a trade secret.
Farage was held inside a pub within centre of Edinburgh , Scotland for his own safety as the Scots knew all along he talks utter tripe .
He is a clown. A dangerous one. Like Joker..
As an American who always thought Brexit was a bad idea from the outside looking in, but I also think the government that implemented Brexit has done a particularly bad job implementing a bad policy.
I am 77 years old. Most of my life, I was an anglophile. With Brexit, all of my respect and admiration for England and Britain disappeared.
Not a particularly bad job. They did a job SO bad it should have been classed as CRIMINAL!!!
Do you think the USA should join the EU and pay a Value Added Tax on all products that are sold? Plus you pay an annual fee and get 65,000 illegal immigrants every year. You want see the bad stuff on the media.
@@damianbutterworth2434 when even farage is coming out and saying it's a mess....yep total success mate.
@@zeitakulobusta9708 this is why we wanted Brexit and not woke Brexit.
I am French and I have to say that our common history has not been strewn with lilies and roses but I am appalled when I see the devastation that Brexit has brought to the UK.
How could the English think that we are stronger alone than with many?
This remains a big question mark for me.
I dont think the intention of brexit was to segregate Britain from the world
The real purpose of brexit was to use it as a last weapon to destroy Europe. Luckily it failed. Sir Humphrey wouldn't be amused.
M. Puyou: the intention was never to separate the UK from Europe, but to free it of the stranglehold of unelected Brussels bureaucracy. Once we gained independence from the EU, we were free to decide for ourselves on which laws, regulations and commercial arrangements suited us. This was not possible whilst we were in the EU. The fact that our government has failed to deliver these benefits in large measure, does not invalidate the reasons people voted for them.
@@remingtonnorman4100 now that makes alot more sense
@@remingtonnorman4100 You've literally just repeated exactly what Farage said. You're obviously a fan, as you take his word that the EU are run by unelected representatives. Well, they are elected, so maybe you shouldn't take what Farage says at face value. Judging by the quality of elected British ministers, the UK would definitely be better off if they remained. Look at the state of the place now

What does the EU do, that an actual free market could not do?
I’m German and I remember the big new of the referendum. From here looking in it was a shock, it felt as if I had missed some thing completely.

Nigel Farage was one of the reasons the UK had no say in the EU. He sat there, in Brussels earning a fantastic salary, playing his usual ‘everybody wrong but himself’ and was bulldozed by real Politicians, who fought for their country, rather than planning running away, as he also did when Brexit was attained and he lied, he pulled wool over those who believed bus loads of cash would come with Brexit so he could, as he is still doing blaming everybody but himself. Man has no shame.
Did the UK not have Commissioners? Of course they did.
We're British judges not on the CJEU ? Of course they were.
Wasn't the Advocate General British? Yes, he was.
Didn't Britain help to draft every single Directive? Yes, it did.
So why would you say " the UK had no say " ?
The UK Commissioners were no match for the EU reps. With the UK’s international history and the creators of world diplomacy, they should have been on par with the other ‘biggies’ which would have made Brexit an illusion. To even witness the farce on exit with the High Salaried Group waving the flag similar to a school outing, ridiculing the nation. Even now it’s Farage & Co chasing every excuse for the mess. Spanish or Farage inquisition?
Silence can be having a say. Farage had a say inside the EU. He said no to the EU and millions followed.
In case you, like everyone else influenced by the obtuse blinkered views of O’Brien are… didn’t notice…. Farce was not involved at all in the last 6 years of the policy making (or lack of) of Brexit. And he is absolutely right, the country has been failed by remoaners and the govern me who’ve done nothing to work through what Brexit offered. It’s too much work fir them. They know their shelf life is short so why bother. Much better to just twiddle your thumbs for u years, collect a salary and bonuses and hope no one notices you are doing nothing. O’Brien can’t even pronounce Farage.
@@McCRBenbut he didn't just say no, he was always pointing out things that were wrong with the system.
As a Canadian, I never understood Brexit, we are all stronger together
You can't talk you live under the dictator
The EU is pointless and meaningless bureaucracy which interferes with free trade, not "enables" it.
Anyone with any sense would not have voted to leave !!!!
Just over half had no sense whatsoever
The failure of Brexit is irrelevant to the die hard Brexiters.
Die Hard would be appropriate.
Nigel Fartrage, typical politician, sews the seeds of chaos then blames everyone else.
@@e.abrahamovich8981 I’m a Canadian so not 100 on Britains creatures and vampires but this Nigel creep? I despise him with every drop of maple syrup in every bone in my body.
Die-Hard Brexiters are the British equivalent of the American MAGAts. They can realize and understand the falsehood or the failure of their position, and yet still refuse to yield ground. 😅
A failure for the UK, but not for the disaster capitalists who were behind it.
What Farage really meant to say was, "Brexit has failed, but I'm still receiving my EU pension"
EU pension... paid for by the British taxpayer.
And still out of prison.
Is that true? He really receives an EU pension? I’m a Yank so I don’t know about these things.

Refreshing to hear so much logic being freestyled so effortlessly and accurately.
Brilliant James, well said. It was a grift and he was one of the lead grifters
No. What does the EU do, that a free market cannot do?
Remember Farage said he would leave the country if Brexit failed?
He lied? Surely not
He could go to Mar A Lago, where failed politicians go to die.

He was the key architect for Brexit, I don't even think he believed people would vote for it, he had no idea how it would work, but never under estimate the stupidity of the general public.
...and you're a prime example.
@@chatham43
The reaction to Brexit has been deeply reactionary; snotty graduates with a juvenile inability to respect the vote stamping their feet because they don’t like losing some of their privileges and having to fill out a form, well they’re smart; they went to Uni, they can do it, it’s a small price to pay for democracy, but instead they spitefully try and split the country up by supporting Scottish independence and desperately trying to overturn the ballot box and get back into their precious anti-democratic EU. Not only did they get Brexit, they have shot their credibility on voting in the future, just like Trump.
@@chatham43And what way is he a prime example, please explain.
stupidity in terms of voting, most people stayed home and didn't care what would happen. If it had been mandatory voting like in Australian national elections, then the outcome of "Brexit" would have been MORE democratic and different. Well, they say people get the democracy they deserve/fight for.
For many, Brexit boiled down to ‘immigration an that’.
Definitely
The aul racism 😂 And they will deny it to the hilt.
And immigration has increased. The man is a fool.
Coming over here, taking our jobs.
I had a long discussion about immigration, a year or so prior to the referendum, where a young Royal Navy sailor (in my team) eventually got round to that phrase, even though he was doing a job that an immigrant was literally not allowed to do, and admitted that the most interaction he had with people of colour was seeing them 'walking down the street together'. Sad.
I blame the lies from MPs. The red buses and NHS. The idea WE would have more money for public things. Schools, police, fire brigade, nurses, doctors etc. The fact is they havn't and the tory's are pawns of multi million people who don't want public benefit but private greed.
American here, Mr. O'Brien I like your level headedness and willingness to point out stupidness when you see it. Stay safe and healthy and keep on speaking truth.
What does the EU do, that true free trade couldn't?
@@lochnessmunster1189 Where does "true" free trade exist that hasn't been corrupted by greed?
@@simplywanda1065 If we, the people, understand the benefits of free trade (not the nonsense version like the EU) we can put pressure on politicians to actually implement it.

Farage has never been more than a old car sales man ... How the British never could see this is a huge mystery to me.
It is the english mostly. You know, they are more xenophobic than smart.. and it shows in that thing called "brexit"...
The irony of Brexiters calling opponents of Brexit 'remoaners', when we were desperately hoping that we would be proved wrong, and now they're moaning about the consequences of Brexit
I wasn't. The more it fails, the better I'll be pleased. I hope every car worker in the UK loses their job as a result.

Imagine the kind of disconnect from reality you have to have for you to claim brexit was a failure, but then still somehow claim that it wasn't brexit's fault...
Imagine the kind of disconnect from reality you have to have for you to claim brexit was a failure, ignoring the effects of a global pandemic, lockdowns and a war in Ukraine when you have a Ukraine virtue signal flag in your profile. While also ignoring that Farage was not part of the Brexit deal in anyway yet is still blamed for it by dumb bitter remoaners like O'Brien here.

I'm going to plagiarize this comment quite a few times 😃
I had fallen for his lies right up until 2 weeks before the referendum when I decided to research the EU for myself. Have been a "remainer" ever since.
Sad thing is you had to research, why? It was so clear from the start even when JC promise referendum. All you had to do is turn off TV channels from far right side of political spectrum and think for 10 seconds
@@rubberduck2401 That isn't true, at least in my case. I have never read right wing newspapers or watched TV news apart from BBC and ITV. Nobody had ever took the trouble to explain how the EU worked and what benefits we got from it. I was six when we joined so never knew anything else. It was something that was just there. People started to say that it was corrupt (accounts not signed off), that EU workers were undermining UK wages, and many other things. Nobody countered that, so I reasoned that accusations have been made, and haven't been rebutted, so there must be some truth to them.
Everyone should have done their research before voting.
If you voted for Brexit and you're unhappy, blame YOURSELF!!!!! You fell for a grift!!!

Sad to see that the people who lied have no consequences for their actions.
They're profiting from them, which was their plan all along.

Nigel farage just told on Gbb's that the annual food price of a uk family will go up by £250 SPECIFICALLY because of brexit and the trade barriers we now have!!! Who did he blame!!! the tories for encouraging uk farmers to rewild their land. There are no words!!!
Brexit? I thought an exit, was when you left a place??? We're still in it. Must be an ENTRANCE
Everybody outside the UK said leaving the EU was the worst thing to do. And this was in the time before the UK could vote for it. Also in my country, The Netherlands, we were very surprised a part of the UK actually did vote for Brexit. Later on we learned how they were persuaded to vote to leave. Simply with lying and a bad campaign from the remain side.
Everybody outside the US said electing Trump was the worst thing to do. Here's the trick: nationalists' attention stops at their own border.
Lots of people, 48% infact, in the UK also said leaving the EU was the worst thing to do.
@@danowat4302 You are absolutely correct. ❤ That's why we wanted a soft Brexit as possible. But we knew it still would hurt the UK very bad. Sadly it became a hard Brexit and the remain people also suffer from it. This breaks my heart, really. Just a minor victory from the Brexiteers, caused all of you to fall into the abyss. 😥 You are our friends and we only wish the best for you.
Lies were told by remain too. Is Canada making the wrong decision by choosing to be independent instead of a US state?
@@marcelrenes2435 we in the EU are fine without the united kingdom which is constantly opposing and without farange in the european parliament. we don't want the uk to retrace its steps, if we really have to then it must join the euro as well.
'This government is as useless as the commission in brussels were' ---- says the guy who was supposed to be a member of the EU fishing commission, and only turned up to one out of 42 meetings.
How had he not noticed it in all the years before? He wants us to think he only knew ….after the vote.
That was the Fisheries Committee, the Commission are each states' representative of their elected government
That is because he spent all his time at Wetherspoon or equivalent in Belgium
@@edcleverley9333 OK. I appreciate the clarification. He was a lying lazy grifter on the fishing committee and a lazy lying grifter as part of the UK delegation to the EU Parliament. He never reached the position of a UK European Commissioner
An important factor to remember is that, the loudest person is not necessarily right. He’s a loud mouth, speaking without an understanding of how the EU was working.
As a European first and German second, i argued myself blue in the face with Brexiteers. I cannot deny that has left some resentment. And so i repeat: "Enjoying your Brexit yet?" :)
That carcass rotted a very long time ago but is still being talked about.
Will the tories ever shut up and move on with saving our country.😢😢😢
As an EU citizen, I will never understand why UK left the bloc. Why leaving the most successful and peaceful family of countries in the history? And, after all, British are Europeans too.
100% and I am British
You might be amazed that Norway isn’t in the EU. Would you call them “little Norwegian’s? Of course not. It’s for the UK to decide if it wants to continue to pay for unelected EU commissioners.
@@brendanbrown3100 We have plenty of unelected people in positions of power here. Infact we are world leaders in handing power to unelected grifters.
@@davidowen2859 Not really - we have the House of Lords but they just review what the Commons brings forward. Our Monarchy is just a figurehead. EU commissioners can propose laws - not even elected MEPs can do that. That is a messed up system. How many EU commissioners can you name? Do you see them on the tele arguing their case?
Switzerland and Norway have never wanted to join and still don't. It's called democratic choice. What a beautiful thing.
Brexit: when the UK shot itself in the foot.
Then stuck a knife in the wound, and twisted it…
And called it only a flesh wound as the leg rotted.
@pitterak1.Both feet and one hand
Didn't shoot themselves in the foot they shot themselves in the HEAD
Are Switzerland and Norway shooting themselves in the foot? Or are their politicians just better than British politicians?
I’m Dutch and we saw this Brexit come with trepidation, we were really always relying on the British to back us up in the European Parliament as we were on the same line and Britain was one of our biggest economic partners. So we actually lost our biggest ally. I really wish there was a way for Britain to return but I don’t see that happening soon. Too much has happened.
On behalf of everyone in Britain who can see that Brexit was a horrible, horrible idea...
We're really, really sorry.
You got a lot of new businesses thx to Brexit. Ik wil ze niet terug in de EU. Ze zijn een blok aan ons been, not to be trusted. Btw Germany is Holland´s biggest trading partner. Wij Nederlanders kijken veel te veel op naar Angelsaksen. Wij zijn Europeanen 🇪🇺
youre right on all counts
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Now we Dutchies will have to partner more with our Scandinavian friends and their like mindedness
'That thing that everyone said was going to happen has happened; no one told me this could happen!'
Its time to stop giving these people compassion. They have cost the country over £100 BILLION, and by extension, part of that money was mine. Would you forgive someone who took 5 grand out of your wallet and flushed it down the toilet. No you wouldn't. You would punch them in the face. I feel no pity for them at all. They were told a million times what would happen and still let the wiff of racism control which box to tick.
So....as he's a man of integrity!!!! He'll be leaving the country won't he? Hurrah!
At last a Brexit benefit!!!
He should not be allowed to live in any European country. Everyone happy 🎉

@@enosger
There's irony?
I remember a man of similar integrity telling us across the pond that if he lost the election we’d never see him again; I wouldn’t hold your breath…
Unlike many (apparently), I took the referendum seriously and concluded that the Brexiteers were either lying (mostly Tory MPs & ministers) or unwittingly spouting falsehoods. I voted for the younger generations, because it seemed obvious the the UK's best interests lay as part of the EU. So I voted remain and encouraged everyone I knew to do likewise. I'm happy with my vote, but distinctly unhappy with the result. Brexit was obviously (before the vote), an exercise in dishonesty, stupidity, bigotry and national self-harm. What amazed me was the older generation (specifically Daily Mail readers). Some had houses in mainland Europe and voted Brexit (face-palm). Some started living there, but they aren't any more, because they can't. Sadly, Brexit has turned out even worse than I feared.
Glad the lunatic replacement of CE by UK CA isn't going to happen.
It’s all his fault. Camaron went for brexit in a pathetic attempt to shut Farage up
I tell you, as an American I feel the same way. How did Trump get to destroy American politics?
How? A systematic and comprehensive all-out assault across social media using bot networks. From "lock her up!" to "the EU is corrupt!" - the real crooks spent heavy utilising every trick in the book to demonise the opposition and if enough right-wing talking heads repeat the claims in old media, the game was up. Yet Hilary is still a free woman and the EU hasn't crumbled. Reality doesn't matter when the public's emotions are manipulated as the Right has done.
Pretty much the same way. Though I would argue he didn't, it was already broken he just pushed it another inch.
Basically the formula is simple:
- disproportionate media support through ties to wealthy media owners to stand to profit by the corruption opportunities inherent to Trump/Brexit. (If you wonder why they did it, look no further than the huge number of brexiteer politicians that shorted the pound before Brexit. Guarantee their media contacts did the same.)
- lie constantly, even if you contradict yourself... And never own up to it.
- have an opposition that is genuinely uninspiring
- appeal to the xenophobia of the aging right wing
- suppress the youth vote through a life long campaign of telling young people that they need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and if they can't live on wages (that they conveniently don't mention haven't followed inflation since before they were born) then it is a moral failing of theirs and obviously their opinion shouldn't matter because clearly they are incompetent. That is, if they can even find the time to vote given their Malthusian existence.
@@TheEclecticDyslexic At least us "remoaners" didn't claim voter fraud though. Every US election is going to be the same nonsense now
But did he, or did he just harvest some fruits of a decades-long process? The head of Reporters Sans Frontière (RSF, better known in English as Reporters without borders, a NGO monitoring press freedom across the world) was invited on a European TV News channel a few days ago (they just released their annual report) and he reminded the dismantlement of US media regulations started under the Reagan administration. Requirements for balanced news are long gone now and here you are, stuck between two huge propaganda machines. Without access to fairly decent information, politics can’t go very far.
Might not be the only root cause of all root causes but it looks like it.
I guess narcisism rubs off on supporters?
Amazing how turning such a complex issue into a yes/no question caused problems. Who would have thought.
Much easier to turn them into left/right issues.
Just like joining the EU (or it's forerunner) in the 1970s...a simple 'yes/no' referendum.
Absolutely brilliant and well said❤
Best O'Brien clip of 2023.
He wanted it, he started it, he meddled in the vote. He is responsible.
For what?
I think most of the world could see this coming.
We did. No surprises
Some of these "bad laws" coming from abroad concerned water quality standards. Look what has happened to UK's coastal water quality for the last 2 years...
LBC is giving me hope that there is still sense in the UK.
Immigration shifted: people coming from EU to people coming from Middle East, Africa and India. Brexit has achieved something
I feel sorry for everyone that knew how bad Brexit would be. But especially the people now aged 24 yrs and younger who didn't even have a say in it, and are now in their 20's with distinctly less oppurtunities for NO BENEFIT
And half the old codgers who voted for Brexit are deceased now.
@keithgriffiths9864 well I'm not deceased and I would DEFINITELY vote for Brexit again!!!
That would be me! All of it. Three months too young to vote in it.
@@rfurdaylee You are in an ever decreasing minority (or is that increasing minority,...a group that gets smaller is what I mean). Britain will eventually rejoin the EU as a super-majority of the population will demand it once the younger generation displace the older one. The younger generation are more for inclusion than exclusion, rejoining is inevitable.. The best thing about Brexit was that it sent a warning to every other country considering leaving as it showed what a catastrophic mistake it would be, but also made the EU look at some of its flaws, thereby strengthening it.
@@rfurdaylee Your commitment to stupidity and failure is comical!!!
Nigel Farage made his career out of saying we should leave the EU...(UKIP) and now he's saying that brexit hasn't worked......his career has been a waste of time then hasn't it
Not totally. By dodging the EU finance regulations he gets to keep more of his money.
Not for him.
He got lots of money.
Absolutely agree, whatever goes wrong , no matter what his involvement , it is never Nigel’s fault.
Why did these fishermen and pensioners voted for buffoon letterbox Boris J., voted for Brexit, Trump? Why, even when John Major warned for Brexit on the media?
I, as a Brazilian who never been to the UK, adamantly argued against Brexit. From thousands of miles away i could see that it was a bad idea to cut yourself off from your greatest customers and allies.
I very nearly voted for Brexit, until the morning of the vote when I had a moment of clarity and realised my only objections to the EU were based on silly conspiracy theories (and therefore not grounded in fact or reality).
What made you understand those were conspiracy theories? Most people with that mindset today, seem to think they are the only ones in contact with reality.
@@petersamson5407 I don't know tbh, just took a moment to step back and think critically. I think there's a certain excitement with these conspiracy theories about "knowing" things aren't all they seem which is probably what hooks in many folk... that and a sense of belonging to a "special" group/gang/family that makes them feel smarter. The rest is just plain old brainwashing.
Of course you did…. 🙄

Nigel Farage will probably never visit Ireland again. He was arrogant enough to think he could get away with trying to con the Irish viewing public while being interviewed on the number one current affairs programme on Irish TV. The interviewer rounded him for insulting the intelligence of the viewers and said he would not get away his spiel on her channel, nor any of the other Irish TV channels. His only response was to insult her. The channel got thousands of messages saying that, in a land of a thousand welcomes, he should not dare to show himself in Ireland again.
Didn’t know that, wanna dig that up now :)
Was that on the state controlled channel, RTE ?
@davidpryle3935 Currently, about 43% of RTE income comes from advertising and sales, with the remaining 57% coming from the License Fee. There is no more financial support from the government other than the from the license fee. I would argue it is less dependent on the state than the BBC.
@@fergusmoloney5259 Thanks for the breakdown, but I was really referring to the government control of RTE. You could argue some sort of a case about the BBC being independent, but you certainly couldn’t put any case at all in favour of RTE. The presenters know exactly who butters their bread, and will never deviate from the “consensus” when it comes to controversial issues like Brexit. In fact, almost the entire Irish mainstream media are part of this “consensus”. There are hardly any independent journalists left in Ireland. I’m reasonably familiar with the Irish media, and I can’t think of anyone since the “retirement” of Kevin Myers.
@@davidpryle3935 maybe they "know who butters their bread and thus won't deviate from the consensus" or maybe they all agree on those things, because they have like 5 brain cells between them and can realize that it's the correct position to take? Just because there aren't 20 Alex Jones' doesn't mean the journalists can't be free. Not saying you're necessarily wrong, just that correlation isn't always causation.
Livelihoods have been decimated. If someone went into a store and robbed it you'd expect them to be fully charged and sent down. These people who led us down this path are crooks - no better or worse.

@@WyeExplorer Iceland and Finland aren't in the EU. Do you think they have a high chance of going to war?
@@lochnessmunster1189 That's a dumb analogy. Their borders don't even mingle. European borders, because it's part of the same land mass, have waxed and waned and been fought over for eons. I wonder what Iceland and Finland's history would be had their borders neighbored each other? Interesting question when considering Wales and England too not to mention Scotland and England.
@@WyeExplorer Germany and Russia's borders didn't mingle but that didn't prevent a massive war between them. Japan had no borders with any country in WW2 yet went to war with many countries.
If Scotland was to become independent, and then rejoin the EU (a foolish notion if they want independence), would war become a possibility between England and Scotland?
Saying that "it's the fault of the people who implemented it" is no defense at all really, because back when they thought about voting for it, whether they liked the outcome or not, they ffs needed to think about whether it could in fact be implemented - which now they are de facto admitting never crossed their minds
He will try to deny he said it. He said that Putin is the world leader he admires the most, and he now tries to deny that.
He'll try to say its the Tories fault. But remember, and never forget, it was Farage who ran away from the last general election so that the Tories could win a huge majority, and get Brexit done.
Nigel should be in jail
This. A million times, this.
In solitary, on a very, very remote island.

@@bipolarminddroppings they are always wrong on most subjects. And they ARE called out on it, often, by what those right sided people call the 'wokerati'.
I think it's obvious that the left wing are always wrong as well, we've had the tories doing a really bad job of everything for some time but they still haven't beaten them in a general election throughout all of it, people don't trust labour and if they do win the next election it'll be because of the need to get the tories out not the need to get labour in
Then Farage should be held to account either jail him or get him to pay for it
Nigel Farage says Alison Rose’s resignation is a ‘start’ - but ‘whole board needs to go’
Nigel Farage said Dame Alison Rose's resignation as the CEO of NatWest "had to happen".
Not my fault says Farage. It wasn't that I promised the undeliverable. What amazes me is the amount of time media gives him instead of people who actually could be constructive.
Unfortunately constructive doesn’t generate clicks and ad-revenue. In this modern post-truth world we live in, the more inflammatory, divisive, controversial, ‘hot take’ you are, the more air time you will be given. At least that’s how it seems to me. ‘They’ don’t really care what is broadcast or streamed or printed, so long as they earn from it.
So remind us when Farage was the Prime Minster again, or even in Government or ANY position to control how Brexit was handled?
Oh yeah he wasnt, so jog on you sore losers with your dumb accusations.
It would not have been undeliverable if the Houses of Parliament had respected the vote.
@@alanhynd7886 Which version of deliverable brexit are you talking about as brexiteers couldn't even decide amongst themselves what brexit meant.
