But that's like saying people in London voted to stay and therefore London should stay and the rest of the country should leave , Scotland is simply paid for by England it barely makes any money compared to it's southern neighbour and will make even less due to it stopping mining coal so really it operates more like a region of the UK rather than it's own country BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE UK IS THE COUNTRY so if the majority of the UK votes the leave it doesn't matter what Scotland says does it, I mean Scotland could never leave the UK because where would they get their money from?

Do you think brexit was the right move? From an Irish perspective, we gained 10,000 Financial Services jobs directly out of the UK. Even Jason Rees Mogg invested in Ireland. Thanks brexiters for contributing to Ireland’s economy.

As a UK citizen I can confirm that leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK in virtually all areas - financial, social, economic ease of travel and free movement, etc etc. We are a poorer country and now just a fringe area of the European continent. Very sad.
Don't be sad. You will return. As vassals. Without Scotland, they will get a good deal, and without Northern Ireland. That is the price for arrogant and incompetent leadership.

Do you have a parallel universe in which all the events of the last 8 years happened the same except for Brexit which both did and didn't happen. Otherwise the answer is that we donlt know and there is good evidence in either direction.
The UK was never really IN the EU, nor was it an example of solidarity, integration and cooperation. The EU is not only a Single Market but above all a political peace and cooperation project where solidarity, human rights, worker’s rights and consumer rights prevail.

Thank you Britain for helping to liberate Europe from AH in '45. Joining the 🇪🇺 in 1973 was a big mistake, not by the British, but by all the other members. 🇪🇺 was never seen as a marriage, for better or for worse, by the British. A minor majority of the population has shown its true colours. You didn't want us 🇪🇺 citizens to be your brothers and sisters, but to be your servants. I'd say: till we meet again, in 2 or 3 decades or so. Greetings from 🇳🇱🇪🇺
Yup. "The UK was never really IN the EU". That was because it joined the EEC and the population was never asked about the deeper EU until 2016. The UK was a good example of solidarity. For example, it was always one of the earliest to ratify EU agreements. The big laggard was usually France.
@@markaxworthy2508Brits never understood the importance of the Treaty of Rome, one of the founding documents of EEC/EU. Only Winston Churchill seemed to grasp the concept, way before EEC was founded even. UK always saw EEC and EU as an economic endeavor and apparantly never understood that the goals of EEC/EU weren't economical. Economics is and was always the means to their goals.
Where is this peace? Parts of cities citizens cannot go? That peace? Crime up drastically, huge burden on previous rationed care and services now hardly available? That peace? Every week another EU member is either fighting EU's consolidation of central power over previously sovereign states, or fighting for release from vast migrant influx? Is that the harmony and peace you speak of? The countries that exists in EU, already had it.
The two very different groups wanting Brexit were the billionaires frightened of proposed EU anti tax avoidance laws, and racists inflamed by populist agitators. Damage to the UK economy is catastrophic and irreparable. The EU can get along very well without the UK. Incidentally, anyone analysing UK society and politics should note that if you exclude London itself, the rest of the UK has a lower per capita income than a failed state like Mississippi. Outside London, it's collapsing in every way.
Can you actually show an example of this "Damage to the UK economy is catastrophic and irreparable." I look at the facts that we have an unemployment rate that is half that of France and uk business is getting along very well. Show us the laid off workers and the closed businesses. I cannot see any. For that matter where are all the factories that were supposed to uproot and move to the EU?

1. People didn't "desperately wanted out". Nobody thought Brexit would actually win. 2. Even most Brexit supporters recognise that the EU is better off now without the UK. The real question is whether the UK is better off without the EU
And the big Brexit winner is... Poland! When UK decided that Polish people were no longer needed on farms and other sensitive areas, Polish people didn't argue for hours, they acted. Result: 4% increase in GDP while UK loses 4% of its GDP. Poland has become a major player in the EU while UK will become a small parenthesis in EU history. Goodbye UK, and please don't come back with your begging bowl expecting anything from the EU.
@taxol2 Not so much as people think. We took 100k refugees from Chechenia in the 90s, then there was a wave of refugees from Belarus in 2020, 1.5 mln refugees from Ukraine in 2022. Plus an increasing number of immigrants from Asia and Latin America. In Kraków, where I live forigners make around 10% of the population. Hostility towards immigrants has been mainly a kind of propaganda for conservative voters. Numbers show a quite different reality.
@@taxol2 Poland faced a specific challenge: Belarus trying to weaponize Syrian refuges and Ukrainian civilians fleeing the Russian invasion. More than 950,000 of these refugees are living in neighboring Poland. With this sudden influx of refugees, Polish society and institutions responded quickly to support their new Ukrainian arrivals through initiating social protection programs, collective site housing, and providing immediate assistance to those entering through the borders with Ukraine. Polish law enforcement - including the Polish border guard, police, and municipal police - played a key role in supporting Ukrainian refugees.
You must make Brexit work for britain. You have absolutely no other choice. Europe certainly doesn't want you to return to the union. Financially, you can not meet the national debt limit of 60% of GDP even in order to apply for "consideration" ! Your parliamentary system makes it impossible for the 27 member states to take any application even slightly seriously. You could waste 20 years in alignment and fulfilling membership criteria, only for a change of government to overturn everything. You are the only country "EVER" to quit the union, and even then it was due to national "racism" " bigotry" and self perceived exceptionalism. The European Union is all about inclusiveness, working to a common goal, a common strategic ideal which England especially was never ever aligned to. Sure, there are some sensible and intelligent members of your population who understand the magnitude of your loss, but England remains a right-wing racist bigoted and deeply misinformed nation. Sort out your own many problems, but don't look to Europe for help or hope for the future. Your future is a lonely and isolated one, and one ENTIRELY OF YOUR OWN DOING.
The map at 0:20 shows that Denmark, Cyprus, Malta, and the the Greek Islands, Aland, and some Italian islands are not part of the EU. Maybe someone overestimated the British territories in Europe.
While the UK was one of the main three poles of the EU, its voluntary withdraw shifted the poles further south and east. France and Germany are now the two main core of the EU with Poland gaining some traction to become something more.

Fourth exporter in the world. Only State who hasn't a babbling fool as the head of government and/or State. In fact, Portugal and Netherlands are probably more important than France and Germany right now
The UK could not regularly produce a positive balance of trade when it had preferential access to the single market, so the idea that it could do better as a third country was always a dumb idea.
No, it is a good idea! If, as is the case, for every £10 million of goods we sell to the EU, we buy in £15 million of goods from the EU. Much will carry on but the video quotes a study that says 33% of trade will stop. Neither side will buy less but they will both switch to home produced goods. Now crunch the numbers on that. UK loses £3.3 million in sales to the EU but gains £5 million in home market sales. EU loses £5 million in sales to the UK but gains £3.3 million. So are we not better putting up a trade barrier and not allowing our vast home market to be open to tariff free imports? Your argument seems to be that free trade is bad so therefore restricted trade must be worse? That makes no sense!! We lost out with free trade so restricting it helps our UK producers have an advantageous "home market".
@@grolfe3210 The numbers from the video are wrong as you said. It will be a lot more than 33%. I would say most of it already stopped. Our company has zero orders from GB. We used to have 20% work made for Britain. Sometimes less, sometimes more. 3 years passed and we had none. I mean there are benefits of Brexit for GB. The top wealthiest have their Cyprus businesses going. I'm sure they benefit from money laundering. I get you like it more than the EU countries. We do the opposite so we benefit from not having this grey zone and a black hole of finance. Or however, you wish to call it.
@@grolfe3210UK manufacturing is down, just look at TATA, car sports are down, agricultural exports are way down. Where is the UK’s gain coming from. Services exports? 40.000 Hugh payed jobs in services industry moved to the EU!
@@dutchuncle3310 Tata is an exception and of course UK steel has lost thousands of jobs while we were in the EU. Car sales are globally messed up at the moment it is not a UK thing. You clearly do not understand what is going on if you claim "agricultural exports are way down" as a problem. Of course they are down. In free market EU, the UK exported lots of dairy products. We also imported far more dairy, particularly from Ireland. You are making the error of only looking at exports. Now look at imports- these were far higher. So if we lose £5 billion in dairy exports but gain £7.5 billion in home UK sales (replacing the EU imports lost) then we have sold £2.5 billion MORE. That is repeated across the board in many sectors. The value of the gained UK home market is far bigger than the value of the lost exports to the EU. So if you look at the whole picture you see what is really happening. Credit to you for not trying to pin the decline in the high street on brexit.
The UK lost in every possible way and the EU get finally rid of these insular roadblock…😂🎉…and comparing the Cameron’s, Mays, Johnson’s, Trusses and Sunaks politics for the UK with Barniers, von der Leyens, Tusks, Macrons it’s like pre scold kids against real politicians working for their people of the EU…..
Very few Brits understand even today they did not care about Poles and now it's too late. They just don't care at all. Sadly most stick to their own pettiness and audacity. But they are not the ones who now have jobs because Poles left. Let alone those who will admit they were wrong. I think this sphere somehow does not exist for them. I know Brits complained that the Poles left and Pakistanis came. But it's not like someone works in place Poles did. Agriculture employers and small businesses suffer the most. I don't think Brexiters care about it.
Don't worry, my friend. All the jobs that Poles was doing in UK will be done now by the tanned citizens. They are so hardworking and desire work like an air 😅
"real politicians working for their people of the EU" Who? Why don´t i see them? None of them work for the people of the EU, they all work for themselves, to get the max benefits and money they can while they are in power.
I went to Cyprus and was surprised your map shows it "outside the EU". Moreover even Switzerland is integrated into the Schengen free trade area. Single biggest mistake the UK has made and continues to make is to consider the EU as a smarties of 27 different states (as it's outside the EU the UK has to treat with each of them separately) but inside the EU one is at home ANYWHERE and business, travel, study, work, money, retiring it's one large single country.

"Poeple desperately wanted out of EU." You sure about that? I mean to each their own but at least to me 51 percent voting to leave and 49 percent voting to stay is not that "desperate". More like poeple were very split about the decision.
It split the Conservative Party from within, meaning the ERG and subsequently Tufton St took over the ideology from the traditional One Nation Tories. This was completed by the 2019 GE. Likewise a very reticent campaign from Labour in 2016 plus the collapse of the Red Wall working class vote where immigration, the 'Breaking Point' mantra of the Leave campaign took over the way the floating voters decided the vote in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The harsh reality is that if and when the UK decide to rejoin it won't come back with the Opt Outs it had prior to the Withdrawal.
Absolutely, Not only was it closely split, but the people voting to leave had completely different ideas about what "Brexit" would mean. Some thought that the customs union would remain, some expected free movement to remain, some wanted a total hard Brexit. And probably the biggest Brexiteer promise was that it would lead to a massive funding increase to the NHS - a promise that has aged like milk.
Yes that was ridiculous, even clown Boris wrote two speeches in advance, one for each result. The idea of a frexit or similar is a British daydream alone. A dream as it's easier to suffer with somebody else involved too. Le Pen would never had had a chance for any frexit in a country run by coalition governments. I was probably also just a way to get some more votes. When people claim they are not happy with the EU it doesn't prove they are ready to leave, a bit like in a marriage sort of.
The irony is that the strong "3th country rules" the EU enforced after brexit were either initiated by the UK or heavily supported by the UK before leaving.
Many, esp in the UK!!, do not realise how big a trading partner Ireland is to Britain - globally , now the 5th largest ...yet due to a stupid Brexit... Nearly two-thirds of Irish SMEs have reduced, or stopped using British suppliers since Brexit, while more than a third have reduced, or stopped selling to British customers,.what more evidence of that 'shooting in both feet' does one want..
Contribution to EU should be calculated per capita and not as lump sum. The UK was way down on the list in contribution per capita, that’s why Cameron did not get anything done.
You talk often about being the sixth greatest economy in the world but when it comes to take part you a suddely so broke, shame on you. Also some Brits seem to think Britain was alone a net contributor. Ten of the richest countries took/take part. As for GDP per capita Britain is 28th in the world, also the average of EU countries, All countries pay in but some get more than they paid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita All countries, perhaps even Britain, move money into the poorer parts of the country to help them catch up and it¨s the same with the EU.
@@paullarne First off, no it isn't. Second, you realize that Ireland's population is about 12 times smaller than the UK's? Mostly thanks to the latter.
See, the question is not about leaving or not, it's about not joining. Because it will hurt when you first bind your economy to an economic block and then "divorce" it. Switzerland is not a member and their economy is just fine. Then again I blame British complacency more than any brexit, even while in EU the country had huge trading and money shifting centre in London area while the rest of the country has been on the decline for a long time.
swiss economy is based on an endless flow of money coming from abroad, without the free deposits without questioning, Switzerland wouldn't be remotely rich.
Brexit is the best thing that happened to the EU, it made the rest wake up, so thank you UK for providing what the rest of Europe already knew, that you had it to good, and when people are doing to good they get bored and do stupid stuff 😂😂😂
in an opinion piece for _The Guardian_ published October 13th, the well-known British journalist William Keegan reminisced about a talk he had as a young man with the _father of Europe_ Jean Monnet around the time of the first British referendum about Europe in 1975. Monnet, who was the guest of honour at an anniversary dinner for the Financial Times, for which Keegan then worked. Monnet asked me: “Do you think the UK is serious about Europe?” Keegan replied: “I am not sure.” The UK mindset was never on the same level of continental Europeans. All UK governments who argued for closer ties with mainland Europe only did so on the merits of economic opportunities. they still do. nothing else seems to really matter. maybe it's because of the unfavourable structure of UK press and media outlets constantly spouting vitriol against the core idea of the European project. because economic benefits are only the side dish. if you don't like the main dish maybe you shouldn't sit on the table. more than 40yrs of constant media bombardment and some other developments like declining education systems have brought the UK public to the point where their voters were bamboozled enough to leave the most important club with the most extravagant privileges for the chimera of greener pastures somewhere else. good luck!
Oh dear, there's seems to be some historical misunderstanding. Let's clear it up: the beginnings of the EU were from/for economic reasons regarding the various energy industries of the different European countries. The EU's core is an economic one.
@@Joe-- no, economic reasons were never the centre piece. they were the means to get the project going. you still don't get it, it seems. the coal and steel, the 'economic' in EEC was just a tool to further the core idea. the commenter above whines about budget contributions being too high - it's the same old litany. as long as Britons think like that there is no point in changing the status quo.
@@Joe-- actually the first idea after 1945 was for Germany and France to integrate their coal and steel industries. this was because you needed coal and steel to wage war, so if Europe's 2 biggest competitors would link those industries together the chances of a new war between them would be way lower. by the time they made a concrete plan it was enlarged to include Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg too. and from the onset of that first economic community it was envisioned to become larger and hopefully one day span the whole European continent. it was also written that the community would strive to keep integrating more and more with each other. so from the first signatures the goals where to enlarge the community and to keep integrating the members with each other. so that means more members and more cooperation, not just economical but also in other ways. the economical part is just a tool to make the integration with each other happen, it was never the main goal of the EEC and especially not of the EU. it's all part of history, so if you read up on how the EU came to be, you would have known that the EU now is just what they had envisioned back then (actually i think the EU has accomplished even more than the people then could have dreamed of)
It is funny that Germany and France are seen as markets and trade partners for the UK and Ireland is seen as having the border issue. Ireland according to the ONS Ireland the UK's 3rd largest export market in total for goods and services and the second largest after the USA for services & Ireland is the Uk's largest trade surplus market. The Northern Ireland's exports for goods to Ireland is more than the goods exports to India. France is fifth after the Netherlands.

The claim that, in the UK, “…people desperately wanted out…” of the EU can only be defined as ‘Horse Shit’! About ONE THIRD of eligible voters in the UK did not vote in the referendum. Slightly more than HALF(52%) of the 66% which did actually vote, went for “Leave”, and slightly less than HALF(48%) voted “Remain”. Of the four constituent countries which comprise the UK, Scotland and Northern Ireland had a majority for “Remain”, while the vote in Wales was swung by English retirees. Brixit was/is essentially an exercise in ENGLISH nationalism, driven by toxic nostalgia and a ludicrous misunderstanding of the UK’s actual place in the world.

Geographically speaking, you are correct. But when the world was split in two blocks, one was called "West block" the other one "East bloc". The two part's of Germany were called West Germany and East Germany, not Central Germany. This explains that.
@@Brexitopia It also depend on the historic period. Poland was East Europe, when Russia was in Asia. But after line shift on Urals, calling Poland East, is bit weird. Especially as there are massive differences between sides of Vistula.
There are pros and cons of being part of such an alliance, the pros far outweigh the cons. Another issue is how negative aspects are amplified on social media, this is because complaining people are always the loudest. The people who are pleased rarely feel the need to turn to social media or other online discussions. The algorithm will keep you in that bubble, creating an ecosystem all around the same topic which leads to more negative sentiment. You think you have free will, which you technically have.. but !!! when an algorithm is deciding what you get offered to see, the choices you ultimately get to choose from are selected by that algorithm. It is steering you in a direction without you even noticing. The people at fault? -> Tech companies and Social Media companies. They want you to be engaged with their online money maker. Whether that being a search engine like Google or Bing, a Social Media platform like Twitter, Facebook or Tiktok or their own version of AI. They all create algorithms to keep you in their ecosystem. If anything needs to be changed, it is the influence of AI and Algorithms online. As these are the things that are manipulated to control their audience/users.

Other than the issues regarding the Euro/Schengen, how about metric? Not sure if the EU mandates metric system on road signs or for beer and milk. That's why lorries and buses are limited to 90 and 100 km/h respectively.
Obviously the wrong move economically. But what people who see that keep forgetting is the motivation of a sizable section of Brexit voters. The point here is they would rather be worse off economically than to see their country's identity changed by immigration, or diluted by EU membership. That's basically it. So no amount of economics and logic is going to change their mind. You and I might be fine with a Polish neighbour, but they are not.
There was no indication U.K. citizens desperately wanted out. There was no indication that the majority of them did. There was only more ballot papers with leave vote by the morning upon the vote in 2016 but only by a margin of a statistical error.
@@paullarne It wasn’t awful for 43 millions of Brits who didn’t vote leave. It was not awful for most of 17.6 million of Brits who voted leave: there were no protest marches, demonstrations or voting for any “Leave” party before the referendum. It was imposed by the then Conservative government, no-one demanded it. There might have been a slight preference among the elder population who goes to vote more regularly, that’s it. 4% (some 1.5 million votes) is not an indication of national consensus for a 60 million strong nation. I will definitely get over when me and my fellow citizens have our lawful EU citizenship back, and all the instigators of the disgrace are stripped of their U.K. passports and deported from U.K. We are not one people with Brexitiers; we gave no consent to a trade border inside our country; we are citizens of the United Kingdom, not the Ghetto Britain.
@@paullarne A million of votes is a tiny portion when we speak of some 60 million U.K. citizens. Brexitiers fail to see one thing: in U.K. referendum is a government-funded opinion poll, nothing else. They exist to advise the Parliament and the Government on decision-making. And at the 2016 referendum the nation have failed produce any advice, as roughly half of citizens voted one way, and roughly half - the other way. In the end, the decision to trigger article 50 was taken solely by Ms May. The decision on the terms of leaving was agreed by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats (including Frost who never read the treaty) and Jonson (who also never read it and was elected on the minority of votes in 2019). On 30 January 2020 dozens of millions of U.K. citizens were disgraced and degraded when the indecent government lead by Johnson stripped them of their lawful citizenship on their Continent. They will never forget and never forgive those who turned the United Kingdom into the Ghetto Britain. I will get over it when my rightful citizenship on my Continent is restored and the instigators of the disgrace cease to be U.K. citizens.
Seems like this video focuses on trade, and disregards all the positive outcomes from Brexit. There's other important matters besides wealth and relations with the EU.
Brexit was never about the money. Farage did indeed say pretty much that at the time. It was , however, very much about governance. That battle is still going on as the old (EU) guard is under pressure. Many are praising Poland, and rightfully so. It is odd to think that Poland is more at odds with the EU than the UK at the moment, again, for the right reasons. As a separate country now we should be able to 'out Poland the Polish' ... but I think a bit of regime change is needed in the UK first , likley the next election....
No, Brexit is precisely about money and the EU law on reporting bank accounts to tax authorities When tax avoidance came up in the EU Parliament, the British withdrew Brexit, because the Brexiteers don't want to pay taxes, even to their own UK, and they don't want the UK public to know how rich they are
.. forgotten to mention the money Bruxelles paid on top of the 7bil GBP, f.e. for Birmingham, among other cities ... Wales preserving the cultural land ... etc.
The real fear for a British person was what would happen if the EU economy were to fail and the dangers of further centralisation (EU Constitution, supremacy of Eu law, etc.). Honestly, we had the distinct sensation of looking like the pig that was being made ready for slaughter, which is probably quite an accurate sentiment given the comments here. The difficult reality is that the British people have never given any indication of wanting to be in anything other than an economic union and have repeated,y made loud noises to the contrary. They certainly didn’t want to give up the benefits of the economic union, but at what cost? For those of you saying that there was none… who’s telling little porky fibs? 😉

To mark Brexit as a victory or a failure is like declaring catching the flu a victory or failure when you have just started showing the first symptoms. Brexit will take a long time to bite into the flesh if our economy and infrastructure in fact Brexit will be a death b a thousand cuts. As we are beginning to become more accustomed to hearing about what we can on longer afford and less about how we can invest in the future we will better understand the cost of Brexit.

EU existed since 1957, something you don't know because uk wasn't even there, then begged to join! But i'ts not surprising since you think uk was born in 1707 instead of 1801
The EEC started in 1957 as a cooperative trading group of nations. The EU was formed by the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in November 1993. That was when the nature of things changed. We were never asked by means of a referendum if we wanted to be part of a superstate mainly because the wealthy and ambitious politicians knew that the regular people would have rejected it and they wanted to have even more power and money.
@PeterJay-o9g EU started as EEC in 1957. That's why it was called the first pillar. Again, it's not surprising since you people think uk was born in 1707 instead of 1801. And uk had a referendum in 1973
@@NoName-hg6cc the British public was not asked when the goalposts were moved. Britain joined the EEC not the EU.

But that's like saying people in London voted to stay and therefore London should stay and the rest of the country should leave , Scotland is simply paid for by England it barely makes any money compared to it's southern neighbour and will make even less due to it stopping mining coal so really it operates more like a region of the UK rather than it's own country BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE UK IS THE COUNTRY so if the majority of the UK votes the leave it doesn't matter what Scotland says does it, I mean Scotland could never leave the UK because where would they get their money from?

The UK was never really IN the EU, nor was it an example of solidarity, integration and cooperation.

It’s not a profitable Free Trade Zone for the UK to exploit. Greetings from Belgium, EU 🇪🇺

Thank you Britain for helping to liberate Europe from AH in '45.
Joining the 🇪🇺 in 1973 was a big mistake, not by the British, but by all the other members.

Yup. "The UK was never really IN the EU". That was because it joined the EEC and the population was never asked about the deeper EU until 2016. The UK was a good example of solidarity. For example, it was always one of the earliest to ratify EU agreements. The big laggard was usually France.
@@markaxworthy2508Brits never understood the importance of the Treaty of Rome, one of the founding documents of EEC/EU. Only Winston Churchill seemed to grasp the concept, way before EEC was founded even.

Where is this peace? Parts of cities citizens cannot go? That peace? Crime up drastically, huge burden on previous rationed care and services now hardly available? That peace? Every week another EU member is either fighting EU's consolidation of central power over previously sovereign states, or fighting for release from vast migrant influx? Is that the harmony and peace you speak of? The countries that exists in EU, already had it.
The two very different groups wanting Brexit were the billionaires frightened of proposed EU anti tax avoidance laws, and racists inflamed by populist agitators.

@@taxol2 Poland faced a specific challenge: Belarus trying to weaponize Syrian refuges and Ukrainian civilians fleeing the Russian invasion. More than 950,000 of these refugees are living in neighboring Poland. With this sudden influx of refugees, Polish society and institutions responded quickly to support their new Ukrainian arrivals through initiating social protection programs, collective site housing, and providing immediate assistance to those entering through the borders with Ukraine. Polish law enforcement - including the Polish border guard, police, and municipal police - played a key role in supporting Ukrainian refugees.
You must make Brexit work for britain. You have absolutely no other choice. Europe certainly doesn't want you to return to the union.

You are the only country "EVER" to quit the union, and even then it was due to national "racism" " bigotry" and self perceived exceptionalism. The European Union is all about inclusiveness, working to a common goal, a common strategic ideal which England especially was never ever aligned to. Sure, there are some sensible and intelligent members of your population who understand the magnitude of your loss, but England remains a right-wing racist bigoted and deeply misinformed nation. Sort out your own many problems, but don't look to Europe for help or hope for the future. Your future is a lonely and isolated one, and one ENTIRELY OF YOUR OWN DOING.

You clearly do not understand what is going on if you claim "agricultural exports are way down" as a problem. Of course they are down. In free market EU, the UK exported lots of dairy products. We also imported far more dairy, particularly from Ireland. You are making the error of only looking at exports. Now look at imports- these were far higher. So if we lose £5 billion in dairy exports but gain £7.5 billion in home UK sales (replacing the EU imports lost) then we have sold £2.5 billion MORE.
That is repeated across the board in many sectors. The value of the gained UK home market is far bigger than the value of the lost exports to the EU.
So if you look at the whole picture you see what is really happening.

Very few Brits understand even today they did not care about Poles and now it's too late. They just don't care at all.
Sadly most stick to their own pettiness and audacity. But they are not the ones who now have jobs because Poles left. Let alone those who will admit they were wrong.

"Poeple desperately wanted out of EU." You sure about that? I mean to each their own but at least to me 51 percent voting to leave and 49 percent voting to stay is not that "desperate". More like poeple were very split about the decision.
Yea people didn't want to leave the EU they were, however, desperate for the huge increase in NHS funding that never came to be.
It split the Conservative Party from within, meaning the ERG and subsequently Tufton St took over the ideology from the traditional One Nation Tories. This was completed by the 2019 GE. Likewise a very reticent campaign from Labour in 2016 plus the collapse of the Red Wall working class vote where immigration, the 'Breaking Point' mantra of the Leave campaign took over the way the floating voters decided the vote in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The harsh reality is that if and when the UK decide to rejoin it won't come back with the Opt Outs it had prior to the Withdrawal.
Absolutely, Not only was it closely split, but the people voting to leave had completely different ideas about what "Brexit" would mean. Some thought that the customs union would remain, some expected free movement to remain, some wanted a total hard Brexit. And probably the biggest Brexiteer promise was that it would lead to a massive funding increase to the NHS - a promise that has aged like milk.
Yes that was ridiculous, even clown Boris wrote two speeches in advance, one for each result.
The idea of a frexit or similar is a British daydream alone. A dream as it's easier to suffer with somebody else involved too. Le Pen would never had had a chance for any frexit in a country run by coalition governments.
I was probably also just a way to get some more votes. When people claim they are not happy with the EU it doesn't prove they are ready to leave, a bit like in a marriage sort of.
To even have a referendum on such a thing was ridiculous to Americans.
The irony is that the strong "3th country rules" the EU enforced after brexit were either initiated by the UK or heavily supported by the UK before leaving.
Many, esp in the UK!!, do not realise how big a trading partner Ireland is to Britain - globally , now the 5th largest ...yet due to a stupid Brexit... Nearly two-thirds of Irish SMEs have reduced, or stopped using British suppliers since Brexit, while more than a third have reduced, or stopped selling to British customers,.what more evidence of that 'shooting in both feet' does one want..
Contribution to EU should be calculated per capita and not as lump sum. The UK was way down on the list in contribution per capita, that’s why Cameron did not get anything done.
Contribution is calculated as a percentage of GDP. That is why Ireland now is a net contributor to EU.
You talk often about being the sixth greatest economy in the world but when it comes to take part you a suddely so broke, shame on you. Also some Brits seem to think Britain was alone a net contributor. Ten of the richest countries took/take part.
As for GDP per capita Britain is 28th in the world, also the average of EU countries, All countries pay in but some get more than they paid.

All countries, perhaps even Britain, move money into the poorer parts of the country to help them catch up and it¨s the same with the EU.
@@vullings1968no, it is based in GNI.
Gdp is based on output, GNI on income.
@@vullings1968 Yes indeed, Ireland's net contribution to the EU per annum is the same as the UK was paying every three days. BFD.

Brexit was a smart move... for Europe!
You're welcome.
See, the question is not about leaving or not, it's about not joining. Because it will hurt when you first bind your economy to an economic block and then "divorce" it. Switzerland is not a member and their economy is just fine. Then again I blame British complacency more than any brexit, even while in EU the country had huge trading and money shifting centre in London area while the rest of the country has been on the decline for a long time.
swiss economy is based on an endless flow of money coming from abroad, without the free deposits without questioning, Switzerland wouldn't be remotely rich.
Brexit is the best thing that happened to the EU, it made the rest wake up, so thank you UK for providing what the rest of Europe already knew, that you had it to good, and when people are doing to good they get bored and do stupid stuff 😂😂😂
in an opinion piece for _The Guardian_ published October 13th, the well-known British journalist William Keegan reminisced about a talk he had as a young man with the _father of Europe_ Jean Monnet around the time of the first British referendum about Europe in 1975.
Monnet, who was the guest of honour at an anniversary dinner for the Financial Times, for which Keegan then worked.
Monnet asked me: “Do you think the UK is serious about Europe?”
Keegan replied: “I am not sure.”
The UK mindset was never on the same level of continental Europeans. All UK governments who argued for closer ties with mainland Europe only did so on the merits of economic opportunities. they still do. nothing else seems to really matter.
maybe it's because of the unfavourable structure of UK press and media outlets constantly spouting vitriol against the core idea of the European project. because economic benefits are only the side dish. if you don't like the main dish maybe you shouldn't sit on the table.
more than 40yrs of constant media bombardment and some other developments like declining education systems have brought the UK public to the point where their voters were bamboozled enough to leave the most important club with the most extravagant privileges for the chimera of greener pastures somewhere else. good luck!
We only ordered Egg and Chips but found we were being charged for the Smoked Salmon and Caviar.
Oh dear, there's seems to be some historical misunderstanding. Let's clear it up: the beginnings of the EU were from/for economic reasons regarding the various energy industries of the different European countries. The EU's core is an economic one.
@@Joe-- no, economic reasons were never the centre piece. they were the means to get the project going. you still don't get it, it seems. the coal and steel, the 'economic' in EEC was just a tool to further the core idea.
the commenter above whines about budget contributions being too high - it's the same old litany.
as long as Britons think like that there is no point in changing the status quo.
@@Joe-- actually the first idea after 1945 was for Germany and France to integrate their coal and steel industries.
this was because you needed coal and steel to wage war, so if Europe's 2 biggest competitors would link those industries together the chances of a new war between them would be way lower.
by the time they made a concrete plan it was enlarged to include Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg too.
and from the onset of that first economic community it was envisioned to become larger and hopefully one day span the whole European continent.
it was also written that the community would strive to keep integrating more and more with each other.
so from the first signatures the goals where to enlarge the community and to keep integrating the members with each other.
so that means more members and more cooperation, not just economical but also in other ways.
the economical part is just a tool to make the integration with each other happen, it was never the main goal of the EEC and especially not of the EU.
it's all part of history, so if you read up on how the EU came to be, you would have known that the EU now is just what they had envisioned back then

It is funny that Germany and France are seen as markets and trade partners for the UK and Ireland is seen as having the border issue. Ireland according to the ONS Ireland the UK's 3rd largest export market in total for goods and services and the second largest after the USA for services & Ireland is the Uk's largest trade surplus market. The Northern Ireland's exports for goods to Ireland is more than the goods exports to India. France is fifth after the Netherlands.

@@paullarne
The "truth" was what exactly?
And it was the "right decision" based on what metrics, as neither economic nor social are in a better place.
Brexit: "Let's leave the trade club, so we can trade with it on better terms as an outsider!"
EU: "UK? Check your balance. You haven't been the empire for decades!"
EU: Hey UK, pay billions to us for "free trade" and let us have a massive trading surplus over you to sell our goods at inflated prices to rip off the English.

About ONE THIRD of eligible voters in the UK did not vote in the referendum.
Slightly more than HALF(52%) of the 66% which did actually vote, went for “Leave”, and slightly less than HALF(48%) voted “Remain”.
Of the four constituent countries which comprise the UK, Scotland and Northern Ireland had a majority for “Remain”, while the vote in Wales was swung by English retirees.

Poland is in Central Europe, not in Eastern Europe.
I would agree, also the time is CET, but the time occupied by the Soviet Union has caused that feeling among many in Europe and elsewhere a bit like with East Germany then.
Geographically speaking, you are correct. But when the world was split in two blocks, one was called "West block" the other one "East bloc". The two part's of Germany were called West Germany and East Germany, not Central Germany. This explains that.
I'm from Poland and I could not care any less about what it is called. Russia is out so we probably should move east in naming.😆
Poland really is in both.
@@Brexitopia It also depend on the historic period. Poland was East Europe, when Russia was in Asia. But after line shift on Urals, calling Poland East, is bit weird. Especially as there are massive differences between sides of Vistula.
Denmark, Cyprus and Malta are 100% members of the EU. Why exclude them in your map 20 seconds into your video?
There are pros and cons of being part of such an alliance, the pros far outweigh the cons. Another issue is how negative aspects are amplified on social media, this is because complaining people are always the loudest. The people who are pleased rarely feel the need to turn to social media or other online discussions. The algorithm will keep you in that bubble, creating an ecosystem all around the same topic which leads to more negative sentiment. You think you have free will, which you technically have.. but !!! when an algorithm is deciding what you get offered to see, the choices you ultimately get to choose from are selected by that algorithm. It is steering you in a direction without you even noticing. The people at fault? -> Tech companies and Social Media companies. They want you to be engaged with their online money maker. Whether that being a search engine like Google or Bing, a Social Media platform like Twitter, Facebook or Tiktok or their own version of AI. They all create algorithms to keep you in their ecosystem. If anything needs to be changed, it is the influence of AI and Algorithms online. As these are the things that are manipulated to control their audience/users.
ironically, Brexit made any other individual country existing the EU impossible.

In the map you have forgotten to include Denmark in the EU
There are so many false premises and statements in this rather "silly" and grossly incorrect video.
Please note that the currency unit “The Euro” has no plural. It’s like the Yen. One says 100 euro and 25 euro cent.
Bit of a bogus video
3:03 90 billion euros versus 80 billion pounds is not a huge difference ! You make it sounder larger by using different currencies. Only about 4 billion pounds less.

The UK tried to split apart continental Europe since at least Napoleon's time, and now they created a strong move to unify us more. Over an internal Tory matter. Congrats, Cameron!
It's a good video, but why did you choose to remove any trace of demographics from your analysis?
The irony of brexit is that it was driven largely by the retired population, and you chose to ignore that.

A lower debt pile than France and we are not subject to the mountain of bureaucracy that is the EU. The country with first approved Covid vaccine. The UK. The first country to support Ukraine. The UK. You do need to bear in mind its so bad here in the UK, that the Australians jumped at AUKUS and dumped the French. Now they are investing billions in submarine construction with us. Both Australia and Canada are buying versions of the Type 26 destroyer. Rheinmetall just announced a new factory to be built here in the UK. Im sorry but the UK is far and away not the loser. Our politicians now answer to us. Not the EU. No more, do we here, oh we can't do that because the EU won't let us. That brexit cliff edge, it was 4ft high. Oh and Scotland, isnt going anywhere.

Other than the issues regarding the Euro/Schengen, how about metric? Not sure if the EU mandates metric system on road signs or for beer and milk. That's why lorries and buses are limited to 90 and 100 km/h respectively.
The map at 20s left out Denmark Cyprus and the largest Greek island of Crete. Not bad other than that.
Obviously the wrong move economically. But what people who see that keep forgetting is the motivation of a sizable section of Brexit voters. The point here is they would rather be worse off economically than to see their country's identity changed by immigration, or diluted by EU membership. That's basically it. So no amount of economics and logic is going to change their mind.

There was no indication U.K. citizens desperately wanted out. There was no indication that the majority of them did. There was only more ballot papers with leave vote by the morning upon the vote in 2016 but only by a margin of a statistical error.
4% is over a million votes. Not even remotely a "statistical error". It was awful, so we voted to leave. Get over it.
@@paullarne It wasn’t awful for 43 millions of Brits who didn’t vote leave. It was not awful for most of 17.6 million of Brits who voted leave: there were no protest marches, demonstrations or voting for any “Leave” party before the referendum. It was imposed by the then Conservative government, no-one demanded it. There might have been a slight preference among the elder population who goes to vote more regularly, that’s it.
4% (some 1.5 million votes) is not an indication of national consensus for a 60 million strong nation.
I will definitely get over when me and my fellow citizens have our lawful EU citizenship back, and all the instigators of the disgrace are stripped of their U.K. passports and deported from U.K. We are not one people with Brexitiers; we gave no consent to a trade border inside our country; we are citizens of the United Kingdom, not the Ghetto Britain.
@@paullarne A million of votes is a tiny portion when we speak of some 60 million U.K. citizens.
Brexitiers fail to see one thing: in U.K. referendum is a government-funded opinion poll, nothing else. They exist to advise the Parliament and the Government on decision-making. And at the 2016 referendum the nation have failed produce any advice, as roughly half of citizens voted one way, and roughly half - the other way. In the end, the decision to trigger article 50 was taken solely by Ms May.
The decision on the terms of leaving was agreed by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats (including Frost who never read the treaty) and Jonson (who also never read it and was elected on the minority of votes in 2019).
On 30 January 2020 dozens of millions of U.K. citizens were disgraced and degraded when the indecent government lead by Johnson stripped them of their lawful citizenship on their Continent. They will never forget and never forgive those who turned the United Kingdom into the Ghetto Britain.
I will get over it when my rightful citizenship on my Continent is restored and the instigators of the disgrace cease to be U.K. citizens.

Brexit was never about the money. Farage did indeed say pretty much that at the time. It was , however, very much about governance.

No, Brexit is precisely about money and the EU law on reporting bank accounts to tax authorities
When tax avoidance came up in the EU Parliament, the British withdrew Brexit, because the Brexiteers don't want to pay taxes, even to their own UK, and they don't want the UK public to know how rich they are

The real fear for a British person was what would happen if the EU economy were to fail and the dangers of further centralisation (EU Constitution, supremacy of Eu law, etc.). Honestly, we had the distinct sensation of looking like the pig that was being made ready for slaughter, which is probably quite an accurate sentiment given the comments here. The difficult reality is that the British people have never given any indication of wanting to be in anything other than an economic union and have repeated,y made loud noises to the contrary. They certainly didn’t want to give up the benefits of the economic union, but at what cost? For those of you saying that there was none… who’s telling little porky fibs? 😉
