Why Did These BILLIONAIRES Back BREXIT?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2023
- It was easy for some billionaires to recommend Brexit, the result of which was unlikely to affect them. Many of the national newspapers such as the Sun, The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail all recommended #brexit and yet all owned by those who do not pay tax in the UK and whose proprietors live in other countries.
Prominent businessmen such as Jim Ratcliffe of Ineos, Anthony Bamford of JCB fame, James Dyson, the manufacturer of vacuum cleaners and Bernie Ecclestone all recommended Brexit. Such men are extremely rich and were unlikely to be affected by Brexit. In order to reduce his tax bill Ratcliffe moved to Monaco, Bamford is being investigated by HMRC, Dyson moved his business to Singapore and Ecclestone has just received a suspended 17 month prison sentence for attempting to deceive HMRC. He was also ordered to pay them around £530 million pounds.
Protection for the British offshore tax havens from the EU legislation would be the blatantly obvious reason to me.
That was the main reason for 'Brexit', and nobody can give me evidence to think different.
And nothing subtle about it, which says something about the state of the British media that they stayed schtum .
Davidoearn -the EU has no powers over Bernuda, Lichtenstein Monaco Switzerland Channel Islands etc they are not in the EU.Even Ireland says the EU has no business trying to interfere with their tax regime -tax is a matter fur individual national governments .When HMRC try to.investigate supposed offshore accounts allegedly held by UK the Swiss politely 'tell them to Foxtrot Oscar -Swiss Law guarantees financial secrecy of accounts and theur holders and European Human Rights laws protect the secrecy of your personal information and data .You can keep your beneficial ownership of investments off any public record of you wish .
Correct. Heads up on the next massive power grab....
The WHO pandemic treaty & the world health regulations give the WHO draconian powers. They will be voted thro in May 2024 without much ado. From that moment WHO executive will have the power to override any nations constitution, government & human rights, in any way they choose. Unless you protest now its on automatic. Details: Dr John Campbell lastest podcasts on YT “pandemic treaty” & “double warning”. It’s the biggest threat to democratic freedoms ever & its all being kept very very quiet.
I often wondered how the mega rick UK citizens can get away with using these well known tax havens. It's morally wrong but one would expect to be illegal. The again, The City and the Tories are bedfellows so surprise. Regardless, it's plainly wrong.
It's sickening when you think of the loss of tax revenue from these selfish, arrogant billionaires. The press are quick to berate those on benefits and struggling, while their owners simultaneously deny (and are allowed to) the treasury of revenue.
All loathsome, narcissistic, greedy, selfish tossers.
Yes ! Quite simply !
The amount salted away by our tax avoiders in the tax havens in 2014/5, which came to light during the Panama Papers scandal, apparently equalled the amount (shy of £0.2b) needed to run the public sector that year alone, from recollection.
@@LadyDiamondIsHereNow That I don't doubt, probably a great under estimate !
@@LadyDiamondIsHereNow so why was nobody prosecuted Simply because no laws were broken You are free to invest abroad and UK tax is only payable when you repatriate the money to.the UK -you then pay the relevant UK tax rate less a deduction for any local tax paid .And it was actually a Labour Government that introduced this 60 years ago to encourage UK investment abroad.
@@ronnieince4568 Oh? There have been investigations and recovery in some cases here in the UK since then. However, I'm all for an equal playing field here. I propose everyone avail themselves of these tax avoidance schemes, whatever their income. That should upset the apple cart nicely
I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. "That's easy", he replied. "When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice."
Anthony Hilton, writing in the London Evening Standard (25 February 2016)
There you have it. These billionaires have significant influence in the UK, none in the EU. They want to be medium-sized fish in a small pool rather then in a huge pool.
It's ironical that we seem to hate foreigners so much but we are controlled by foreign owned newspapers and work in foreign owned businesses.
And make tea with foreign owned water😢
And to add to that: to citizens outside the UK you are foreigners too and equally hated. Especially when you turn your back on others. It's quite weird to think that behaviour will be deemed fine because it's you. Being self-centered is a human trait that is not always to one's own benefit.
@@user-kn6et8bb2d I've just spent a year travelling around Europe in my van. I don't agree that citizens outside the UK hate us. We're really not that important to then. After all, we were just another country in the 28. They, like me, think we're all crackers for leaving even though they say the EU is far from perfect. But I didn't meet anyone who saw an onze of sense in leaving, not that they'd know what that was.
Thanks very much Mr Lambert 👍👍👍 they didn't like the European Union to ask them about the money going in their pockets 😠. I am pro European Union,🇪🇺. Only millionaires and fools are against it
(B)illionaires actually and cretins !
There are many millionaires who are content to live in the Europe we know without wanting to dismantle it all, thank goodness !
The fact that the Daily Mail,The Express et al are influential,is a condemnation of the ignorant British electorate,who voted for Brexit and Johnson.
Who did you vote for? Was it 🏴? Because they've got their own skeletons in the cupboard.
👍 Great to have all these greed bags listed together.
Another billionaire who backed BREXIT is Christopher Chandler the Dubai based owner of GB 'News'.
That says it all !
@@robertmatthews8302 - Yes you're right, that really does explain the hitherto inexplicable query in my mind that everyone appearing on that channel appears to have signed up to being a Brexiteer - just like Boris Johnson's cabinet members, even though most of them voted to remain. The penny has finally dropped! Of course I, for one, will not be following that channel any more now.
Does an unbiased broadcaster exist anywhere?
@@mtm4a Yeah ! These good ones on UA-cam at the moment ! 👌😊🌹
The four billionaires of the Apocalypse.
Thank you Mr Lambert, a prime example of why the Tax system will not be changed, it's never enough for these thief's.
Shame on them all Michael. Absolutely Stomach churning and very very disturbing to say the least 😮
Thank you Michael for bringing the facts to the (UA-cam) masses about these people.
Hopefully the majority of "ordinary people" will take heed, come the next G E !!😊
Missed my particular favourite, Mr Tim Martin the boss of Wetherspoons. This man had an enormous impact on the vote, his pubs are always at the lower end of the price market both for alcohol and food, very successful too. During the run up to the vote his in house magazine placed on every table was full of Brexit nonsense. The patrons of his pubs reading between their Proust and Mann must have been influenced by this man saying that Brexit would keep the price of a pint down and that is as good a reason as any to vote yes.
Just shows the indirect influencers effect on such serious political decisions.
The Tim Martin's of this world must be laughing up their sleeves !
Almost all big business campaigned strongly to remain in the neoliberal EU.
I can t stand the bugger....nor his spoon
This shows how people were conned by these billionaires
Nobody should be allowed to own and operate media in this country unless they live here and pay tax to the full.
They should also be heavily fined for printing untruthful stories.
P.S shark are better vacuum cleaners than Dyson.
The taxation system in the UK is widely regarded as unfair due to its disproportionate burden on salaried individuals and the substantial concessions granted to the wealthy. This imbalance leads to a situation where the top 1% of the population, who benefit from these concessions, often argue against imposing higher taxes on wealth, claiming it would hinder investment opportunities. That’s a myth.
They're even talking about tax reductions for the richest now
Beyond disgusting these people. I never cease to be disgusted these days. Thanks Michael.
Thank you Michael.
You are one of the few people I follow regularly on UA-cam because you always tell it like is.
If everyone paid tax as they should (and governments handled the money honestly) what a different world it would be.
Yes ! A much friendlier place!
There were others who live in Jersey, Isle of Mann and Guernsey. The trigger for them was when Switzerland was forced to close its banking secrecy laws. They knew their little tax havens would be next. So as long as the UK and EU were arguing over Brexit they could remain beyond the EU's attention for years.
That was the only real reason for Brexit. The rest was just camouflage.
Essentially, the feudal system still continues in the guise of a Constitutional Monarchy with plenty still believing 'their elders and betters' without question. Its extraordinarily sad and shameful
It's necessary to note that the UK is a money laundering economy such that tax avoidance and money laundering are critical to its functions, especially to its to lawyers, accountants and real estate sector. This has been a deliberate aim since the 1950s - and echo of empire - which facilitates the very wealthiest to dictate policy that optimises that objective. It also suits the Tory party which would wither the state.
The Tory Party has withered the state by plundering it, especially since Thatcher.
Would?! Has . For over forty treacherous years .
@@korolev-musictodriveby6583 well we have had 15 years of Labour in the last 50 years -they have had every chance to change the law .What is forgotten is that it was Labour who first legally permitted UK citizens to invest overseas and to have foreign bank accounts. You don't get Swiss banks refusing you an account or their staff blabbing off to the press details of your finances like Coutts and NatWest ..
Paul Keating (former Australian Prime Minister) has said that Rupert Murdoch's priorities are (1) Rupert Murdoch (2) Murdoch's business interests (3) Murdoch's family (4) Everything else !! 😂😂😂😂
That seems about right for a Murdoch !
@@robertmatthews8302 👍
What a great opportunity for Starmer to suggest if you don't pay tax in this country you can't trade .full stop
Money will be working overtime to make Starmer as ineffective as possible. Starmer the prosecutor needs to start early.
Bravo Michael, 👏!
Murdoch had to become a US citizen in order to own newspapers, maybe that rule should be invoked here. No non-doms either
Nice to see your channel is doing well michael, 5000 + views in 3 hours.
Thats more than gb News ❤
@neilcatliff159 - Thank you Neil 😊
That’s the most cheering and positive thing I’ve read in days!
If this lot paid what they should in taxes it would go a long way to helping fund the failing NHS.
But why should they have to fund the country that made them rich/richer.
To many bleeding the country dry and living the good life - not a care for anyone but themselves.
Murdoch's face looks like it's been stitched together from old leather handbags.
Have to take slight issue with one thing........James Dyson isn't AS smug as Mogg, he's far 'smugger'! Can't stand the man, buy a Henry if you want a good hoover, not his overpriced shite!!
Yes, it’s vastly overpriced. Must confess I fell for the hype. The vacuum cleaners worked well at first but very soon the parts fell apart because they were cheaply made rubbish. Mine went to the tip, with a “Bollox to Brexit” sticker on it.
Tax !! Also they have no influence in the EU but have every PM as their own personal marionette.
I understand BILLIONAIRES backing Brexit and their hate to eu laws protecting workers and ordinary people against their greed.
What I don't understand why ordinary people wanted the same.
All of those influential newspaper magnates yet journalism (truth, balance, fairness} is dying.
One is obviously connected to the other. I remember the thundering Daily Mail front page at the time of the Panama Papers furore where Lord Rothermere vented his spleen about the 'Politics of envy' effectively saying that we 'ordinary folk' should keep our noses out of the doings of the rich and mind our ow business. I recall seeing this newspaper at an airport and my (foreign) wife busting a gut laughing at this sheer arrogant load of nonsense and, laughing even more at the British people for still read this disgusting sick making rag.
Yes, we have gone backwards to an older economic system where we are serfs chained to the super rich overlords.
Thank you for your enlightening videos.
As the French say: Bon courage! 🎉
Anything that promises to remove standards and restrictions helps them exploit workers and the environment to their financial avantage.
Your list includes some of the most odeous, selfish and immoral men in history. It is a sad indictment that they are also all so rich and successful.
Sociopaths often are...
Why ? In one short word, ATAD EU anti tax avoidance directive. What do millionaires/billionaires want more than anything else…..more money!
Because they got out of EU law on taxes
The only place Murdock should be made welcome in the U.K. Broadmoor.
Dyson’s main business in the UK is his massive farm. He has being buying farms at a prodigious rate and aims for 10,000 acres for each of his children allegedly. This is purely to save on inheritance tax of course. His manufacturing and main businesses are based overseas and head office is in Singapore I think.
After Brexit Dyson moved his business from UK to Singapore.
Remember the old quote: if you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gives it to.
Foreigners or people who owe allegiance to foreign countries shouldn't be allowed to buy our newspapers
Yeah and foreign company's, shouldn't be allowed to own our gas, electric and water , companies either.
Murdoch, making money out of mud. What a world.
These monsters, the nemesis of decency and civilised society, prey on the gormless, the gullible and susceptible and the complicit governments makes sure that there's a steady supply of victims for them to gorge on.
@Mr Lambert. Just a few points to add: Rupert had to be a US citizen to hold a majority stake in his US businesses i.e. Fox. We should have a law here to say if you want to own UK media then you have to be UK resident for tax purposes. Dyson told his workers in the original factory in Warminster that their hard work made the company successful & that he would move manufacturing abroad & abandon them (I paraphrase), then he moved it to Singapore.
The country will not get better while we have a 2 tier justice system & allow foreign ownership/tax exiles to control so much. Of course the rot started with Thatcher putting everything up for sale.
Thanks for the video!
Good man Michael.
At least Crispin Odey has had his comeuppance.
Ecclestone’s hypocrisy is laughable as he knows more than anyone how tightly-knit F1 is with Europe in terms of staff, races, facilities and logistics.
Last time I saw Ecclestone he was in a car passenger seat and I was thinking to myself for 30 secs who that little old grandma was... honest to God truth.
@fransezomer - ....with the infantile choirboy fringe at the age of 92
Nobody makes £30 Billion themselves. It`s their employees who make the money.
As a Manchester United fan, please keep Jimmy Ratcliffe away from United.....
It's bad enough having the Glazers destroying my beloved football club...
If you control the money you can control everything. (Henry Kissinger quote).
They are addicted to power and people fawning over them.
And this is what makes the Lexit position all the more perplexing. Do Lexiters such as Mick Lynch really think Brexit was created and engineered on the behalf of people like him and his members?
Does he think the Murdoch's, Barclay's, Harmsworth's/Rothermere's, Ratcliffe's, Dyson's and Eccleston's of this world want to improve worker and consumer rights? To support Brexit as a right-winger is delusional enough. To do so from a left-wing position is attempting to achieve some kind of nirvana on the backs of those who wouldn't spit on you if you suddenly burst into flames.
He's an idiot who should learn what the EU is about and stick to talking about unions and employment.
@@Lucretia9000 He's not an idiot; he's naïve. The pro-Brexit left believed/believes that the UK could take back control of its employment laws to control its workforce to the benefit of the workforce. Guess what ... the Tories control the Brexit agenda and shaft everyone daily. (taken from a letter by Richard Tuck Professor of government, Harvard University, Maurice Glasman Labour, House of Lords).
Very well put bud !
Although Mick Lynch is 99,9% correct except his stance on Brexit !!
It seems Lexit grabbed the opportunity with both hands, choosing a 'once in a lifetime' chance to exit, perhaps with the forlorn hope that the left would gain control of the governance of the UK down the road and create a Nordic style trading agreement with the EU.
@@LadyDiamondIsHereNow Possibly, but personally I can't get my head round that one !
Thank you Michael, it's all very depressing isn't it, vast wealth does not make nice People does it.
I understand Bernie Ecclestone once said something along the lines of 'when you get rich you get honest'. He's clearly still not rich enough.
Never been a fan of Dyson, too smug and self satisfied. His products may have some worth while innovations but certainly not to justify the prices. As for Murdoch and his kind, he's perfected the art of appealing to a large section of society based on their bigoted prejudices and fears just enough to have them believe that he is on their side and representing them. Shame that so many people are so easily led.
I don't think their support for Brexit was all about tax avoidance. What they have in common their dislike of the power of EU who shows them very little deference and that's what erks their egos. Murdoch even said ''I go to downing street and they do what I tell them, Brussels just ignore me'.
If we taxed their wealth at around 10% it would cover the cost of NHS pay rises and get our health system back on track. If they can forget £500,000,000 then they won't miss it.
Berniebranfield well wealth taxes simply dont work. Suppose I own a company worth £ 1 billion -yuu charge me 10% wealth tax -I dont have £100 million in the bank -my money is tied up in the company -do you then take 10% iif the business .Second if you are going to don't that I simply move the business abroad. Screwing the rich us great politics but crap economics -you end uo with less.Suppose you have an income if £5million a year-you are paying £2 million in tax in that So you.move to Jersey -your tax bill is £180750 a year you save £1;8 million a year -the UK loses £2 million -in the jast few years some 80 people have done that do the UK is losing £160 million a year -that pays for quite a few nurses and doctors. !!! And you have actually done themvs huge financial favour by encouraging them to leave. !!!
Good points.
Did the billionaires’ backing of Brexit have anything to do with the EU’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD)? One can but wonder.
A good man. Very few in england.
Good morning Michael.
Got over the Friday morning Tory meltdown?
I am still in full on smug mode.
Happy Saturday's, all us fav surrogate uncle. 👍😎
Well done Michael, brilliant video………..👍🏻
Many thanks 😊
The hypocritical bigoteds, Johnson was paid to get breach done, and a hard brexit at that to protect the billionaire's, and then the move to Europe and open factory's in France 😂😂😂😂 a Johnson buys a house cash 😮
Definitely one law for the rich and guilty for the poor 😮
The thing that keeps hard working people poor in this country is PAYE tax where the average person has 20% + 12.5% national insurance taken from their wages and those who earn a little more pay 40% tax + 12.5% national insurance. Also money is double taxed with indirect taxation of VAT at 20% etc and of course petrol triple taxed. Tax thresholds frozen till 2028 so as wages rise we lose more. The billionaires make sure they do not get taxed in the same way.
There's a revealing speech still on UA-cam; 'Dominic Cummings, why leave won,' explaining billionaire donors support for Brexit and how he manipulated people's support.
Almost all big business campaigned strongly to remain in the neoliberal EU. No point trying to rewrite such recent history.
Well done as always, thank you!
If Dyson actually promoted Brexit because the EU was about to limit the maximum wattage a vacuum cleaner could use, he doesn't even understand his own business. A Dyson engineer explained in detail why the maximum wattage does not matter, what does matter is the design of the vacuum cleaner which is exactly why the EU introduced that limitation.
We in Germany do not understand the hype about Dyson products. Our semi-governmental consumer magazine "test" from Stiftung Warentest has always tested the often overpriced products from Dyson as mediocre to poor. Only the design is great, but not the performance.

For screwing the UK?
Extremely wealthy people are always in search for more money (or influence), even though their money grows and grows independently because of interest and dividends. It is a nasty and negative characteristic of rich people and most are ruthless, vindictive, mean and indifferent in reaching this goal. To mask these nasty habits, they give lots of money to charity and do it publicly so people know and they do it with lots of unsincere ‘friendly’ words and fake smiles. It buys them influence, they normally wouldn’t have. I don’t mind people being rich, or even filthy rich, but they should stop the fakeness. And stay out of the public eye or say you’re rich, want more money, want more influence, whatever it takes. Stay in your castle or estate, fly around the world for your string of holidays or even for a shopping day in Paris or Milan, but stop bothering us with it. And stop pretending you are nice and considerate, because you’re not, and never will be. People owning a billion, a BILLION, and still want more at the cost of the common people.
Robert Mercer also funded Brexit.
And despite all this, people went to polls last week and thought "yes, the Tory Party deserve my vote" unf'kingbelievable.
When asked why he supports Brexit, he responded "that's easy, when I go to Downing Street, they do as I say, when I go to Brussels, no one takes any notice of me" Rupert Murdoch.
Lord Rothermere's antecedents were Oswald Mosely's black shirts voice piece and most prominent supporters.
It was the second time Ecclestone has been convicted of Tax fraud, again in 2008, avoided custodial sentence then, also.
What a rogue's gallery of t...ts.
We need Leveson enforced.
Simply we are in a class war
No not a class war. They are in a class of their own right enough, but the people just accept it, follow their lead, make a pot of tea and grumble. If it was a class war, I'd expect a bit more resistance against their machinations. Instead the DM is the most liked paper in the land to go with that pot of tea. Providing at least one reason to grumble daily, to blame others but never the government. People drink the tea, grumble and feel oh so involved in political life, because of that grumble over that pot of tea. And with that carefully directed daily grumble, so generously supplied by these papers, they keep the masses subdued. So no, not a class w a r , rather a mass compliance drug.
BRILLIANT..
ABSOLUTEMENT.
Well said! It is Feudal, and the territory is economic. Sorry about giving the World Murdoch (I’m Aussie). He is not a journalist, he is a manipulative opinionist. We hate him. He has killed off regional newspapers, and he collaborates with other billionaires to control our Conservative Politics, the “Liberal” and National Parties. At our last Federal Election (2022), NINE previously conservative seats were lost to a new breed of “Community Independents”, all brilliant charismatic hard-working women. The reason was elector concern about failure of the large Parties to address climate change, due to massive donations from fossil fuel interests. Labor currently holds a minimum majority. Hopefully more Community Independents will emerge with time. No Murdochracy just yet.
Very interesting.
These are withered souls and shoddy humans. In a saner world, being that rich & that greedy would be recognised as a form of sociopathy & treated by exile to the moon - away from hoi polloi but oh dear no servants.
Good work Michael! but please don't talk about these people "making" money - making money is illegal, it's called forgery. Always remember: profits come out of pockets. (ours).
To evade new taxation laws?
I would skip the billions if it means I would look like Murdoch.
Murdoch the undead.
That's probably what his soul looks like (SHUDDER).
We live in a society with absolutely no moral compass!
Good stuff as ever Michael, but you don't answer the question posed: why did they back Brexit? I believe it's because the EU has the geographical scope, and the will, to curb all this tax haven dodgery at last. Thus all British Brexit voters acted against the interests of their own country.
I have long believed the only way to stop this off-shoring of income/profit to avoid taxation is to first, make any business that wants to operate in the UK have a legal/financial entity that is subject to UK tax laws. Second the tax authorities should apply tax based in the business' income not profit. Profit can be manipulated but income (in theory) should be easier to track. This ought to stop the Googles of this world.
The problem with the super rich - from a Keynesian perspective - is that they simply can't spend that money fast enough (unlike pensioners and workers who mostly spend everything within a few weeks.)So, they are actually putting brakes on the economy.
They pay on average 0.5% of their personal wealth in taxes.
Yep. Rather less than the rest of us.
What is extraordinary is that people read Murdochs media & believe it The Daily Mail was found by a fan of Hitler & Oswald Mosley remains right wing . .Again the people read and inwardly digest .Amazing fact .Dyson has just opened a store in Berlin .So much for how he felt about Germany ...Seriously though I would never change my life for their money . I can sleep at night :) Great video like 556 -

At last. Someone is talking about the Elephants in the Room. I don’t know if you were cautious, but I wish you had mentioned how Farage and Boris might have had tax interests in pushing the “Leave” agenda. It’s a start, anyway. Thanks Michael. Geoff from Fremantle Western Australia.
Thank you Michael, excellent, please keep up the good work
It's just greed. I think most people would be thrilled to have enough income to owe half a billion in Tax. I used to often see Ecclestone being interviewed on F1 coverage and always thought him a devious little man, seems I was correct.
He got away with not going to prison for a 400million tax fraud.will the government bring in the the the legislation and
The Dirty Digger started the Sun which was for a short while a serious paper and a broadsheet. That didn’t last long, straight into the gutter and stayed there ever since
It was a serious broadsheet when started up by IPC in 1964 but immediately switched to tabloid status after Murdoch took it over in 1969. He commented at the time that he was "amazed at the ease with which [he] entered British newspapers"...
Get that dirty rag out of my gutter.
I would love to be filthy rich..I would build hospitals, schools, old folks homes ..
What I can't understand is that the vote on Brexit was "non-binding". In other words it did not carry any legal weight. Maybe I need to be corrected on that? So in that case how was the government allowed to go full steam ahead with Brexit? It seems now that there would be a substantial majority in favour of remaining if another "proper" referendum was held. People should protest and push for another vote on Brexit. People are now much more educated on what Brexit actually means. The evidence is all around them. Too many voters were swayed by right-wing "gutter press" newspapers. The owners of these newspapers did not have the best interests of ordinary British workers at heart.
And it's about time that a proportional representation form of voting was introduced for general elections; the "first-past-the-post" system has been abandoned in most countries as being generally unrepresentative of voters' real wishes.
Once again public read and followed the hate campaign.Scotland & Wales were remaineres all to know avail .We are talking about dimwits wanting their sovereignty when they already had it. UK is finished .Tory or Labour they ponder Labour is controlled by a right wing Mr Denier who is so full of himself it's unreal A piffling dictator.. The ordinary British workers did not see through the pack of lies and fabrications ...
If the result would have been different, no Brexiteer would have taken care the people‘s „opinion“ would be followed.
But the British would not vote on whether they would then be EU members again. They would only vote on whether the UK should make a new application for EU membership.
This would be decided by the 27 EU member states.
And they are not well disposed towards the UK. Who will accept a country that is constantly agitating against the EU?
Then there is the matter of the Copenhagen criteria that the UK must meet to be a member. Currently, the UK meets less than half of the criteria. An accession procedure takes many years.
Yes but at least it would be a start. The UK might be able to negotiate a free-trade agreement without or before becoming a full member of the EU again.

I saw a vlog recently that reported on a survey of the economic policies of right wing governments around the world. Guess which one had the most far right policies? Yes the British Conservative party. More right wing even than GOP.
