Jacob Rees Mogg opens a new front against the EU over their alleged "contempt for public opinion." Mr Rees-Mogg claims this is shown not only by the Commission repeatedly demanding referenda on EU treaties until they are approved, but by its role in the removal of elected leaders of countries such as Greece and Italy. The EU gives a voice to extremist parties such as Greece's New Dawn and France's Le Front National. Their successes, amplified in EU elections, have become a destabilising influence on member states' democracies.

It's so important to note that this speech was 3 years before the referendum. Note his reference to the rise of extremism (left and right) back then, which people with short memories erroneously blame on Brexit
Gosh you're spot on with that
extremism rises with economic decline, and that's not related to EU. Then, most people couldn't help notice we're (back?) in a cold war. Again, Europe needs to decide whether it's a fourth, potentially mediating power or surrender to selfishness. It's easy to critizise a project (the EU in a concise and transparent form) which takes decades to evolve but already keeps us in (relative) peace for an unprecedented span of time. People who grew up with the benefits (single market, free movement, customer protection, data protection, kind of common'ish foreign policy, free mobile roaming) can of course not name them, because it's not their achievement - it's just there. Of course anyone can leave (other than Texas can not leave the USoA), but that party should at least have a plan to answer the most obvious implications.
@moonbeam I think that by supporting Brexit he rather refuted that charge. Boris. by contrast, waited till the last moment.
rees mogg is right
@FlyingMonkies325 well, the ECB is only relevant for the 18 out of 27 countries that implemented the EU currency, so I don't get your point on "they take billions". Maybe you mean the "EU budget" in general? Regarding "investment", how do you explain, the EU invested 4.5bln pounds in the UK according to HMT report on EU spendings 2016? (the report soundly explains why a certain number on a bus was not exactly correct).Each country reports their own numbers, you can look them up. To me, the EU seems to be a multi-way-road (to pick up your metaphor), especially when it comes to "roads" - ever been on a Polish autobahn reecntly? Of course there is an overhead if the EU implements central services, that's how funding works.
Gotta love the geek in the glasses behind him. Everyone in the room is wearing a black suit and bow tie and what does he wear? A Stormtrooper shirt.

Definitely one of the best orators getting about. I am so pleased that he is on the side of Leave.
I can almost forgive him for being a rich, posh Tory for that fact alone.
Thank God the remainers don't have a Mogg. Mind you, no one with a little knowledge of history, politics and economics would ever honestly argue for the EU.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is magnificent. Posh and well-educated but very down to earth, he is wonderfully well-spoken and razor sharp. This speech alone splendidly underlines the deep flaws and weaknesses of the European system and the very real threat it represents to the independence of the nations of Europe.
Yes he speaks like he's from that era hence his nickname but the policies and rhetoric he advocates absolutely aims to help the less fortunate in society.
@moonbeam I am a rough and uneducated colonist and after due consideration and careful though; I say fuck you and the EU.

Jacob Rees Moog should be the next James Bond then PM
JRM is a huge fan of James Bond films.
Sherlock Holmes too.
Here here
It's not often I laugh outloud at comments on MP's speeches.. But this was a first!
Too bad he's a skinny prat you ignorant fuck.
Mogg really has the presence and charisma of one of the classic British Prime Ministers. If he were PM, I'd bet he'd put the Conservative party back on track and beyond that he' probably be more pragmatic than Nigel Farage, but also considerably more capable than David Cameron.
Godzilla52 The problem is, of course, that he will never be prime minister because he looks old fashioned, posh and a typical ex-public schoolboy.. Never mind that he is immensely bright, honourable and capable - he looks "wrong" and since style over substance is far more important these days, he stands no chance.. Pity really..
Felix Deer I'm just saying that back in the days of Thatcher and Major, they at least valued talent in their cabinet. If Mogg ran and won in 1993, something tells me that Major would have acknowledged his talents.
Felix Deer The other reason is that he's far too much of an uncontrollable loose cannon. Not exactly the person to "play ball" and get along...
Lytrigian Thatcher was a loose Cannon in the 50s onward, but she was a cabinet Minister and she became PM. I'm just saying it has been known to happen. Probably won't happen with this Conservative government, but It has happend in the past. Maybe if Cameron gave someone like Mogg a cabinet position he could heal the divisions and friction between Cameron and his more rebellious back benchers, maybe give the party a better sense of unity. Either that or maybe if Cameron keeps his promise and resigns by 2020 then Mogg may run for leadership or the next Conservative PM may be somebody who appreciates him a little bit more. By 2020 anyway, Mogg will have been an MP for 10 years, that will probably give him some credentials for at least being a cabinet minister in a few years time.
Godzilla52 He'd get my vote, but the problem is like the man says he's a toff, and no toff can be considered good for the country these days, bloody left
As a 2020 frenchman......I approve this lecture.
@Qwfwq66 His views on abortion, contraception and homosexuality may be objectionable, but they're completely irrelevant to this debate. He's a staunch Catholic and he is entitled to hold his own private views. He doesn't profess to inflict them on anyone else. Again, why is that worth bringing up in an EU debate? Are you trying to imply that Eurosceptics are all anti-abortion, anti-gay? Because that's madness.

josh widdicombe its called having a different perspective to you.... Authoritarian bastard
@josh widdicombe yes thats exactly who cameran turned out to be
He's absolutely right, and I'm from Malta, the country Mr. Rees-Mogg has just denounced as having more power proportionately in their European vote than the British. I used the same argument in my media writings before Malta's referendum in 2004, so I can't blame him. His argument is sound. If you look at the proportionate vote, there is a real imbalance all round, which means that, whichever way you look at it, whether it's Britain having 29 votes representing their millions of voters, or Malta having 6 votes representing their half a million voters, there is still no sovereignty for individual countries. Can you see our 6 votes making a dent when it comes to preventing a law from being enacted? Hardly. Ergo, when there is no equal voting power in the European Parliament, only the countries with the majority of votes have the true power. The result is no true democracy for individual states.
not to mention the 100x more laws and regulations for all aspects from all countries.. every little detail. every daydream the bureaucrats have and feel like writing laws for everyone else about. it makes life for businesspeople incredibly hard and inevitably leads to poverty on a european scale..
And this is why we have the house and senate in the US
Helped my mother change a tyre on the M25 years ago ....only one to stop and no fuss!.who knew he'd get famous????
I'm no Tory but this guy nailed it regards democracy which despite the media hype and total bias was the main reason so many people voted out, the right to self-determination surpasses all.
Elvis Has left the building I don't like the Tories either but like you I really like this guy. Right now he may well be Britain's last hope.
@Elvis Has left the building The epitome of populism and stupidity. This narrow minded snob doesn't understand that we don't unite in Europe for democracy, as we don't unite among ourselves in our countries, cities or towns because we want it; we do it for protection and prosperity.
If you don't understand how China is now a world threat to the western stability, that Russia is too, and in some time India and others will come to the table, you are delusional.
The world works in a bock logic today, either for defense or commerce. There is no way to defend ourselves if we don't act as one, as a roman legion, who destroyed all the tribes that lived separately and only united for war, and didn't have a monolithic quick acting structure. This is no different.
You stupidly believe the British liked each other through history, which is nonsense; they got imposed that collective identity to be able to operate in the world (and only recently, in the last decades that identity started to stabilize).
The EU is no different. Ignorant and dangerous ideas from the conception to the execution; that is why this guy and his followers are considered idiots everywhere and nobody takes him seriously (except the resented working class).
@josh widdicombe & the truth always comes from socialists of course, you credulous gullible fool. Josef Goebbels said; "Propaganda works best, when the people being manipulated, truly believe that they are acting of their own free will". Hitler said; "The people are stupid. Tell them a big enough lie often enough, & they will accept it as the truth". 40 years of lies & Propaganda paid for out of our own money into schools & universities to indoctrinate the young & naive, before their critical faculties are capable of dismissing it, has resulted in 16.1 million credulous people falling for the lies & Propaganda of remain hook line & sinker. Fortunately, we just had the numbers to protect you from your own gullibility, & stopped you from selling out your country, freedoms , democracy & future.
@@hiyadroogs He is despised in Ireland, I'd never consider this man to be a last hope for any Nation other then Britain right now during Brexit. I say let him lead the charge, because that just might get anyone who's left with sanity in Britain to wise up to the scandalous ideals and Political shit hole you've gotten into because of Jacob here, or Nigel.... both men wouldn't be welcome anywhere outside of England.

As a Dutch citizen, I listen to Jacob Rees-Mog, his wit and posh formal choice of words. It's so British and fast forward, passionate. Although my toes are curled a bit, due to the unusual manner of speaking, I'm fully in the same boat with this member of Parliament, regarding the devastating nature of the EU and the foundation on which it's built. It's a sandcastle, swept away by the tide of change soon. Keep an eye on the financial system, hold on to your marbles

How could it be broadcast on the BBC ? The BBC Leftist media would never give this fine man a platform !
@@kayem3824 you didn't understand anything.
Thank you Mr Rees-Mogg for highlighting the lack of democracy in the EU whereas here in the UK we prize it very highly although we don’t actually elect the Head of State (that’s done on hereditary), we don’t elect anyone in the second chamber, we don’t elect the Prime Minister (that’s an MP only vote from only one party) and unless you vote for the winning candidate in a general election, your vote’s ignored. Why can’t the EU be as good as the UK?
Head of state has no power realistically speaking that can be shown my the Miller 2 case but judging by your comment you probably don’t know what that is so that point is irrelevant, second chamber appointees need to be unelected so that they can make unpopular decisions and their powers are heavily limited by the parliament acts and Salisbury convention, and the winning candidate question is not true either as shown by 2017 ad 2010 general elections where there had to be power sharing agreements because of unhappiness manifested by previous governments so ill think you’ll find that the UK is far more democratic than the EU will ever be.
if it didnt happen than this than the party who owned London and Manchester would keep wining the elections
Excellent point
The bog difference is that within the UK the electorate do get to choose the party (with their policies) by vote. A voice for the public to make change & a voice over those that rule over them. Theres absolutely zero chance of that within the eu. No vote, no voice over the eu commission/councils that have the power over the eu public. 🇬🇧
This is how you conduct debate.
Argue your point with intelligence, humour and respect for your opponent.
Educate yourselves. You don't need an expensive education. All you need is access to books, ideas and to acquire good manners and pleasant accent.
Really good and decent man is Jacob .Best of luck to you Sir :)
He embodies everything that is terrible about lovely England. What an arrogance, what a lack of real grace and compassion... earned his fortune in the terrible financial system: that's how these people do it - no morale, and then later talk about ideals etc. Repugnant.

Recognise Democracy....Hmm..... Worldwide projection (acceptance) is a crucial concern....assuming you are correct in “gerrymandering” being an American term? Or maybe even a USA Term? Or even a term arising from European conflicts in the Second or First World Wars. By the way The USA and the UK Have partial progressive Democratic Systems, Seeking incremental improvements through more democratic integrations. RDR
Max Hess,@@1SpudderR Well, my 1994 Chambers says the word is formed from the name of Governor Elbridge GERRY (1744-1814) and salaMANDER from the likeness to that animal of the gerrymandered map of Massachusetts in 1811, so I guess we've been "borrowing" the word for quite some time - thanks USA, it's a useful word!
hklovejoy Hmm..Well ...Gerry is a First/Second World War name for a German Soldier...And Mandering is a different spelling of Maundering...Which is wandering around in a foolish or disorganised manner....”German disorganised?” Is a slang term from one of the wars.....slang has many derivatives, as is well known, but which is applicable is one of the conundrums Of communicating understandings, and of course everyone without exception has opinions...or options!

Why are men - well gentlemen like Rees-Mogg not leading our parties?
Compare him to Cameron - aside from ones person views - obvious this man thinks logically and fairly.
Parliament all parties needs cleaning out of the "TWITTER" style politicians "votes for votes sake" Playing to the gallery for their salaries - not to the people for the country.
Because corrupt people don't like honesty .
takes more than good ideas to get through politics
Rees-Mogg and Daniel Hannan would be a brilliant pair to see us through the next 10 years imo.
hes said before, he prefers to be a backbencher so he can say what he wants to say
Because the slack jawed masses who live for East Enders, Cori and the other trash TV will call him out of touch. They prefer to be governed by those orange, buffoons from TOWIE and the likes of BoJo because people in the UK don't want clever politicians, they want "likable" ones

The resort by the Elite to the courts is a bad sign. Lawyers are all sophists.
It's not the judges that are living in a sewer! The problem is people like Rees-Mogg who have crawled out of the sewer they were consigned to in the 1960s, when we all thought that rule by the toffs was over. These disgusting creatures, released on the nation by Brexit should be sent back to the dark place where they belong and never allowed to pollute the country again.
John Hooper you sound highly brainwashed
Terribly sorry, but he meant 'sua', which I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong because my Latin grammar is atrocious) is a possessive pronoun meaning 'own'. He was angry that the judges didn't heed a central principal in law - 'Nemo juddex in causa sua'.
@@johnhooper7040 It is yourself who shows himself as a disgusting creature, criticising a true patriot in such a vile way. It is the likes of you who pollute my country.

@Qwfwq66 Cummings is a devilishly intelligent man, his professors at Oxford have always described him as a genius, and his handling of the vote leave campaign was absolutely brilliant.
@Qwfwq66 So that negates the positive comments made, by the worlds leading intellectuals, in regards to his intellect?
@Qwfwq66 You're very strange.

So we were both wrong, I'm not a leftard, might be a mental case though specially after brexit, and your now a right wing fascist, good for you. However because I think one person who has inflicted great suffering on a large number of people deserves to suffer, doesn't mean that I always hate, violence, theft, envy and lies.

I also remember my dad telling me he lived on rations (i.e. one egg a week etc etc) when need be for freedom. Toughen up a bit - please!

2019. NOT leaving the EU after we voted to leave is what’s not democratic, not sure about the EU itself.
The Arrogant Mogg Speaking to the very bankers that brought the financial crisis. The arrogant Mogg who acted like a layabout slob with total disrespect in parliament. The arrogant Mogg who claims he wants a hard brexit, but only for you. He has made his own EU trade deal by moving an office to Dublin so HE CAN STILL TRADE with the EU. The arrogant Millionaire Mogg who supports zero hours contracts for the poor. The arrogant Mogg who voted against his own party many times then when someone else does it he calls them rebels and supports kicking them out of the party. Could it be Mogg wants to escape the EU as he is a banker just as the EU started raising taxes on bankers and the Rich. This Toff is certainly not doing it for the good of the common man..
The future calling, we left. Everything is fine. Fishing is mildly annoying but there will be more fish we're told. Trump just incited sedition though so popcorns out in lockdown 3: return of the luddite.
Just read. I'm Latvian, last 10 years I live in UK. And you know why I'm in UK... In 2004 Latvia become EU member, and from 2005, They close all, yes ALL. Manufacturing industry. 2 big sugar factorys- farmers collapse etc. So I'm human- need food every day- reason why I'm in UK. From my experience- EU made Latvia buyer not seller. And where is the fuckin unity now??? in Latvia minimum pension is

Tony Ves you sir presume far to much. I was born and raised in Sunderland on a council estate, my parents both voted for her. I for one at the young age of 14 could not understand their choice.
Then I sat and watched a city brought to its knees, once famous shipyards closed, pits closed, woman cueing in the street for food, zero jobs. And if there was a job 1000 men stood in line to fill it, this is a tiny piece of what happened as she sold our once proud nation down the proverbial creek without a paddle. And you off handedly call us all “ new class” fuck right off son.
The simple truth is, do you value democracy?
Primegaming Because they dont understand it and they dont bother to figure it out. They listen to the loudest voice.
Primegaming
The simple answer is......
Yes.
Sadly, true democracy is mob mentality.
@Primegaming The epitome of populism and stupidity. This narrow minded snob doesn't understand that we don't unite in Europe for democracy, as we don't unite among ourselves in our countries, cities or towns because we want it; we do it for protection and prosperity.
If you don't understand how China is now a world threat to the western stability, that Russia is too, and in some time India and others will come to the table, you are delusional.
The world works in a bock logic today, either for defense or commerce. There is no way to defend ourselves if we don't act as one, as a roman legion, who destroyed all the tribes that lived separately and only united for war, and didn't have a monolithic quick acting structure. This is no different.
You stupidly believe the British liked each other through history, which is nonsense; they got imposed that collective identity to be able to operate in the world (and only recently, in the last decades that identity started to stabilize).
The EU is no different. Ignorant and dangerous ideas from the conception to the execution; that is why this guy and his followers are considered idiots everywhere and nobody takes him seriously (except the resented working class).
@Christian Proust
Man, you're so brainwashed that is sad.
For you a little quote from Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
You have been told that you have to give away your rights, in order to be safe. But you are just walking blind into an abyss.
Also because he is a "snob" from your point of view, you discarded what he said?
That's another thing that proves how biased and brainwashed you are my friend.
The problem is that the ignorance you show is now a days a very big problem. And the people that think like you do, don't have the ability to accept when they're wrong. They will get mad and try to silence opinions with fallacies and offenses.
It's worrying how many people like you are around, and as history has proven, is people like this, that "unite as one" to be loud and destroy the rights and freedoms of others who simply think for themselves.
I hope you see how bad your argument was (though I really doubt it).
Open your eyes and see the problems we all have in front of us. Politics and the government are not to trust 100%, take responsibility of your own and when everyone is fit to respond tho himself, then Union will come naturally and not by force, because what you're defending is a totalitarian regime, where it's assumed that different people from different cultures, are the same and have to think alike in order to be "safe and protected".
I hope you realize how wrong is that. For the snob and for the poor.
I'm in the United States. I just discovered Mogg today. I really like this gentleman. : )
No. No hes not
I love to listen to this guy speak

Took 3 years but it looks like you're getting it after all this time :D

Excellent speech - Thankyou Jacob.
This man has more intelligence in his toe nail clippings that most of the amassed 'elite' watching him.
Yes, to a stupid person, Rees-Mogg looks intelligent.
Believe me, to genuinely smart people he's a mendacious clod.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is the embodiment of elitism

im from sheffield and hate elites with all my heart (born shefield 1981 i cant help it) but i like this guy cus he has dignity and honour and tells it straight.
dean chetty I'm from Sheffield, born 1983. Don't hate "elites", can help it, just judge each man on the content of his/her character, not on his/her perceived wealth. Mr Mogg is a good egg.
elites are in the trap too. they were born where they were born same as everyone else and raised the way they were raised by "the blind leading the blind". any christian knows ( should know lol ) that their saviour says to pray for ur enemy or at least love thy neighbor. remember the golden rule, as u sow, so shall u reap ( karma ) is a law, unlike man made legislation. my point for u being any strong emotion ( hate ) always returns to its originator. as a commonly used saying states, u catch more flys with honey than vinegar x

A bit like Hitler and Stalin combined with a sprinkling of Mussolini.

Watching this in April 2020, and feeling blessed that we live in extraordinary times! This was even before the word 'BREXIT' was ever heard.
Watching Brits do politics is fascinating... they seem so relaxed... also I love the side banter too.

Why?
@@gg0u1239 he lies better than Boris
As an American, I suppose I never fully considered the inner workings of the European Union. Quite an awful situation to be sure.
+corey fisher Speaking as a fellow American, however "awful" the European Union is now, it pales in comparison to how genuinely awful the European landscape was exactly 100 years ago. And Europe as has enjoyed a longer period free from major warfare than either of our grandparents, and great grandparents ever observed.
robot
And this started on trade alone, what a lie well if you can't take Europe via the front door as in ww2. Then take it via the back door with a smile on their face and while they shake your hand.
@Elis de Waard and the atomic bomb. It made total war between atomic powers an irrational move.
corey fisher Don't be sure. The EU is great. Research the rights of the EU citizens and the freedom of movement. Could you imagine in the US having to get a visa going from one state to another? Or having to apply for a work permit for another state? Thats what Europe was before the EU.
I don’t think Mr Mogg will ever be intellectually threatened by the Labour Party ,maybe by Diane Abbott. 😂😂😂😂😂
And the threat there is melting his brain with pure stupidity 😂
Donald Trump so far he seems to have been proved right, so...
Perhaps in a two left shoed loop walking race
Diane abbot would lose an argument on anything with my 8 year old daughter. But di would still be right !
Diane Abbott doesn't have millions of quid in stocks and shares earning tax for the Irish Republic government. She also never once voted for illegal wars or to make poor people even poorer. She never voted for the bedroom tax. She never voted to allow MPs to continue sticking their snouts in the lobby trough
This is so much more captivating than American politics! 🇺🇸❤️💙🇬🇧
Best “Brexit” speech I’ve heard, Mr Reese Mogg for PM!
His way of talking reminds me of Tony Benn and Harold Wilson
He's closer than ever to this. Boris has failed.
@@svenmartensson7048 Say one law about what? Make sense!
Mogg is so British i grew a monocle, a top hat, started drinking tee and eating biscuit while watching this
p.s. swiss, good choice lads to leave that clusterfuck of an EU. We were smart enough to never join because we knew that they would drain our market and destroy the swiss franc. Bilateral is the only way to go, everything else can only become a bad deal sooner or later. "Keine fremden Richter!"
One day this man will be Prime Minister. Can't wait.
I hope not. Thats when Irish start to hate the English again, fierce strong stink of Cromwell off him. The Irish example is wrong might i add. The treaty was changed to support national vote and only then did we pass the Lisbon treaty.
Sure he will..... 😂
nicholas hoyne and your knowledge and background is ? Why should your comment be considered and he disregarded?
me too ...
so brits will be cancelled from the face of the earth once for all.
he always denies it....maybe he doesn't want to... do you???
You can’t beat Mogg for giving speeches, he’s absolutely tremendous
Made millions from the Brexit vote. A man who would ban abortion if he could. Does not believe in contraception. A sick, relentless homophobe.
Tremendous

Watched this 24 December 2019. Soooo looking forward to 31 January 2020. Rees-Mogg was, as usual, 100% correct. Thank God we're leaving. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. X
Why do you want to rob your fellowcountrymen so much..??
Guy is a complete liar. For example Ireland was not made to vote again until the EU got the right result. 2 referendums were voted against for various reasons and on both occasions negotiated with the EU and got some terms changed and 2 new referendums were put to the Irish people and they were passed. That’s pure democracy and not undemocratic like he claims.
I never knew that Rees-Mogg could be so brilliant
havnt listened to him much then ?!
Brilliant at what?
Jacob Rees -Mogg is an exceptional speaker and indeed an exceptional politician , the UK are very lucky to have someone of his calibre on the front bench now, we have nobody in the Irish parliament fit to lace his shoes
you just to stupid to understand how stupid you are...
All politicians like police are playing with idiots
A real job would kill most politicians and most police
The UK is indeed lucky. As for Ireland, we in the US have many in Congress fit only to tie shoes and we would be pleased to permanently send as many of them over to you as you could stand.
@@hammyhog4748 that may be accurate but please look for a solution in that case we can't be expected to remain because of it. how about getting Ireland out of the EU too. the EU will most likely collapse after Brexit for others will too. And then you can take it from there
I'm Canadian and love watching this guy. Why is he stuck in the back benches?
Thank god Britain was able to save themselves
Jacob is one of the few Cons I respect and admire. He and Daniel Hannan are true conservatives not that fraud Cameron.
Daniel Hannan is a vile little shit who wants to see the NHS abolished. Just so you know
David Cameron was absolutely terrible. He seemed more like a labour prime minister than a conservative PM.
Mogg is he best MP in Parliament today. If only he were the Prime Minister we would see a brilliant future for this country.
Well he is Leader Of The House now so I can't wait for September when Parliament resumes...lol
@@Isleofskye - the House of Commons has never been so watchable as it is now, Jacob has transformed it!
Mogg is a hard right Politician & chairperson of the European Research Group (ERG). He is a Supporter of a hard deal Brexit & as such is helping to bring the country to its knees. He would make an appalling Prime Minister as will Johnson whom he supported.
The Moggmeister is the Man....

A good speech by an intelligent English chap.
Well, at least the EU has managed the pandemic well, said no one ever.
Bars are open and people are out and about respecting social distancing and wearing masks. Meanwhile in the UK can't even get a haircut, one of the worst death rates in the world and most number of deaths in Europe. Try again.
@@gitanonumero1983 and that's why the EU have failed to stop a 3rd wave, have virtually no vaccines, and are rapidly becoming a global example of how to do everything wrong. Meanwhile more than half of the adults in our country are vaccinated, which the EU can only dream of.
@@NeonVisual The EU have vaccinated more people and have given more second doses to elders than the UK and they are the largest exporters of vaccines in the world. What makes you think a third wave wont come here? more than half of the population still hasn't had the vaccine, the virus still spreads, watch the next month. The whole world needs to be on board with this because if a new strain that can over come the vaccine emerges else where in the world and makes it's way to vaccinated countries, then we're back at square one. The UK is an example of how not to deal with the pandemic (putting aside the vaccine roll out, which has gone very well and is irrelevant of in/out of the EU), late lockdowns even with prior warnings, re-opening too early twice, one of the highest death rates in the world and one of the highest death numbers in the world, lets not even go into the shady internal politics from PPE contracts to Cummins...
@@gitanonumero1983 one would hope so, they are 27 countries and should have vaccinated 27 times the amount the Uk has. Instead they are still suck in single digit percentages of the population, while the UK has given the first dose to more than half of the adult population, and a further 15 percent of the most at risk their 2nd dose. Consiquently the EU is heading into a 3rd wave while we are beginning to lift restrictions to get back to normal. The EU is a failure, a bully with blood on their hands. We should never have offered them doses of our vaccine, they just threw it back in our faces and now try to steal it from us by blocking export. We had 100m doses exclusivity due to us financing and developing it in Oxford. Once those doses are delivered the EU contract is next in line to be fulfilled. Stealing Dr the UK will have consiquences.
140k+ dead in the UK from Covid. Worst in Europe never mind the EU. Boris Johnson has managed that pandemic as well as he managed to get that bridge built across the Thames when he was Mayor. How much was spent on it again- 50+ million quid? 🥺
Legend, great speaker
Farage and Mogg on the same team and in the same party would be lethal, they'd be unbeatable.
You would think, however go on the high St anywhere (other than Somerset) ask 100 people if they have heard of JRM.
+max31198 - I'm sure not everyone knows who he is. But that doesn't take away what he could do with Farage. Farage and Mogg on the same team, debating, arguing, for the UK to leave, who on the other side is going to beat that team? I can't think of anyone on the Pro-EU side that could win. Most get slaughtered by Farage on his own.
