"... schools are packed, you cannot get an appointment with a GP, the NHS is packed, ..." and he blames it all on the migrants although he is a migrant himself from Morocco but denies being a migrant. Obviously, he does not realise that none of the problems he mentioned have anything to do with migrants who are a big part of NHS staff and also many GPs are migrants. These problems all stem from the same source: Tory austerity, underfunding the NHS on purpose to ruin it and replace it with a private system, underfunding schools, underfunding everything and then blaming it on migrants and fools like this migrant fall for those lies and vote for Brexit, making all the problems worse with that foolish decision.
the man from Morocco was the worst of the bunch. If foreign immigrants won't help foreigners integrate what chance have ''the openhearted'' Brits ever helping, the much needed, immigrants feel at home.
@@edwardbernthal160 Exactly But with immigrants like Patel, Braverman, Sunak and Johnson claiming that immigration is bad and needs to be stopped, what can we expect of ordinary immigrants?
Interesting logic - "Most of Brexiters said they would vote for Brexit again because problems have not gone away" It means they would vote again for problems not going away?
Blair was the architect of Brexit, he decided not to use the 7 year migration controls post 2004 that almost every other EU country used. The result was the UK, particularly the South East, had the biggest and fastest influx in Europe with no infrastructure planning.
Hätte Deutschland einen Brexit gehabt ist und wäre das, das Beste, was Deutschland passieren könnte, denn Deutschland ist allein immer am Besten aus und klargekommen und die anderen EU Länder haben Deutschland vor allem gebraucht, deswegen werde ich ab jetzt NIE mehr meine Stimme den Grünen, SPD oder der FDP geben, vor allem nicht, wenn der deutsche Doppelpass kommen sollte!

Not exactly “what they wanted”. But better than what they had. The “Euro Zone” in my view appears to be functioning reasonably well to date. The future looks to be very interesting. I do hope the “Eurites” attain their ultimate peaceful goals
@@cpcattin Better than what they had in which way exactly? A pound that lost 20% of its value compared to the USD AND the EUR? More than 4% loss of GDP resulting in a loss of 100 billion per year for now with an added loss of another 40 billion per year starting June 2025 when the UK loses the right to do Euro clearing? Newly introduced or increased taxes to make up for those losses? Food rotting in the fields and healthy animals being culled due to worker shortages in all sectors, be it picking fruit, processing animals, construction, NHS, hospitality, ...? Therefore farmers reducing their production since they cannot profit from it anyway, thereby making the UK even more dependent on imported food while it already imports 46% of its food and global food shortages are here due to climate crisis, the war in Ukraine and other factors? Loss of sovereignty due to signing capitulations to Australia and other countries which e.g. means that Australian businesses have now the right to sue the "sovereign" UK government should it create or change laws in a way that they feel diminishes their losses? Lowered standards of food to even get that capitulation? Lowered standards in water quality by allowing raw sewage to be pumped into rivers, lakes and the sea? Loss of worker's rights due to dropping all laws that originally came from the EU even if they had been introduced by the UK? Leading Quitterlings moving their businesses to the EU like JRM, Ratcliffe and others? Factories closing down faster than you can look due to Brexit? Congratulations, I do have to agree, this all sounds like a huge win!

Reminds me of the 1.5 million british immigrants who used to live in Spain, less than 5%spoke a word of Spanish. They shopped in british shops, ate english breakfasts and fish and chips in british cafes. And,,,, were despised by the Spaniards.
@@Ryzanu And immigrant workers in the UK did not you mean? They did not help British businesses to do their thing? They did not pay taxes? To the contrary, a lot of Brits living in Spain (I presume you would call them expats) stayed under the radar, avoid paying taxes. To objective standards (and even to British law) that is called illegal.

@@chubeye1187 Ano! Jesus's, how wrong you are. Your flippant remarks may get you thumbs up but here is the reality? I voted to join the EU and to stay in the EU in 2016 Referendum. So in the UK I'm classed as a Remainer, I'm proud of it. Infact, I kept having discussions with people prior to the Referendum and have been called a "Traitor", "Traitors to Britain", "Traitor to my country" and "If I like the EU do much go an live their" etc. I was shocked at the naivety, ignorance of the British people who followed like sheep the Rightwing policies but worse Personality's rather than their policies or ask the big questions to every statements they made of Why? How? Rather than listen to the Evangelistic Politics of the Leavers of "Just believe in Britain", "We don't need to know how, we'll sort that out when we leave, you just need to believe in Britain", .....bollocks like that. In 2017 I sold up and sadly left my country, because I didn't like the Isolationism it was going. I disliked how the rightwings were acting with the exenaphobia and racisum on the rise. I thought Britain would be where it is today. I believed in the EU values more than where the UK was going. I'm still a UK citizen but I still live in the EU. I saw the split in the UK and realised it would take a generation or two for it to settle or one of the Leading Political Partys grew some balls and negotiated a better deal than "Boris's Hard Brexit" that he dreamed up, it was never a question on the Referendum form. I predicted,, there would be more paper work for exports because if outside you would have to prove you followed the EU laws, so not less, but more. I predicted that "British Laws for British people" the Leavers shouted, really meant 'Power Hungry MPs' who, wanted to reduce EU laws, not strengthen them. They would take us back to the 1970s just before we joined the EU with a return to polluted seas, air and rivers, they would, get rid of the 40 hour workers directive etc! So far been proved right on every front but sadly even worse than I predicted.
@freebeerfordworkers Did I deny that that happens? My point was that some Brits do the same and expect to be serviced in their own language when abroad without bothering to learn the local language.
@@OmmerSysselThese people don't contribute almost anything to the local society setting up their own infrastructure expecting free health care from Spain.
During the Trump Administration, Brexit was the only schadenfreude our country could enjoy, because we had become a laughing stock of the world. I just happened to be in London on my birthday on March 29th, 2019 for my birthday. And we just happened to be by Buckingham Palace when Teresa May lost her vote. All hell broke loose by Westminster Abbey and No. 10. Something that stuck me: Brexiteers looked A LOT like American Trumpers. Red hats, wearing the national flag as a clothing or capes, lots of blue-collar working class support and probably all of them not fully understanding what leaving the EU was going to end up costing them… because they listened to conservatives and ignored all progressives. My country may have voted for Trump, but we didn’t then tear up any and all trade agreements with a nearby continent… and then struggle to find anything to celebrate after leaving it. It’s madness.
I'm Canadian and Trump is all hot air, but even he was not crazy enough to rip up NAFTA or incite a full blown trade war with China. What the Brits done with Brexit was short-sighted and driven mostly but opportunistic politicians (Bozo from left wing mayor of London and Farage, a do nothing MEP ironically receiving welfare payments from the EU). The irony is always that nationalistic right-wing politics is to create an angry us vs them mentality to vote against their own best interests. The older gen. was nostalgic for empire 2.0, the poor chose it as an anti-establishment f u, and the racists were always going to vote for the anti-immigrant party.
First, US admins didn't have to tear up any agreements as they, in fact, can hardly be called an agreements - its forced trade deals where's bigger eats smaller - this is why Trump was so against China as outsource, as this particular trade would eventually eat up US economy (US is smaller fish in this one, just to point out) but he has failed in it as profit of a few "patriots" (in his party) was more important than benefit of a whole nation. Second, any right wing supporter is the same in any county in the world, undereducated, poor, frivolous thus misinformed or just mad enough to believe in right wing "blame others" crap. Unfortunatelly, they are also majority in every nation in the world... At the end, UK is just paying the price of neglected education system, neglected independent media, too long rule of protected upper class, where's average folks are left behind economically and used as sheeple.
@@Helloverlord well said, the entitled leftist elite simply ignore how important diversity and tolerance of others opinions are in a functional democracy. Just like they hardly ever accept or personally feel the dire consequences of social dumping or aggressive religious and social control ruining their peaceful communities, low wages and physical hard work places. The irony is they go berserk confronted by any normal democratic orientated Conservative citizen, while stupidly embracing antidemocratic Sharia culture, law and courts despite every single basic value in this law religion is strictly against all leftist values! Those obvious and legitimate issues behind Brexit are simply ignored or preferably demonised.
The immigrant population is contributing to the growth of the town in jobs, setting up new businesses, customer base, etc. With a declining and aging population this small town would had continued to decline until it was a shell of itself. Boston had more or less just signed off on their own demise.
The German economy boom was only made possible through millions of refugees from eastern Europe after WW2 and millions of migrant workers in the 1950s and 1960s. They got on with the task and created a real economic fundament. No disharmony and blaming. The people of the UK do not realise that only working together produces results.
@@johngodley256 that is plain nonsense! Not one single European society can prove your leftist migration nonsense!

As someone living in the United States and planning to set up a home in the Netherlands, I would not dream of not learning the local language (Dutch) as if my life depended upon it. This despite English being spoken on some level by the citizens. This is a luxury afforded those who can afford to do so. Those whose survival is dependent on working don't have the time to take on another language. I find most British people immigrating to France, Italy or other EU countries are the most hypocritical as most British I have met arrogantly want everyone to bend to their customs and language. I find it offensive to be honest and shameful.
The truth is that the UK was right to leave the EU. It has a greater level of democratic control over its own laws and borders. It also saves billions each year in EU membership fees.
Anyone else thought that most of those migrant workers didn't want to talk with someone on a camera. I think, if not most, at least half of them were able to converse in English, but they chose to not speak with the guy.
Before colonialism and crusades England was a depressed land with fertile ground worth defending, but not much else. In the modern age its a declining empire without a doubt.

When the UK voted Brexit they gave the EU, the proverbial finger. One cannot have Brexit in some place and not in other places. The UK is a third party country and should be treated as such. It is what they voted for. The EU must not compromise with the UK, that would be sending the wrong message. The UK has voted ‘No’ to laws passed at EU on 56 occasions, abstained 70 times, and voted ‘Yes’ 2,466 times. The UK was on the “winning side” 95% of the time, abstained 3% of the time, and were on the losing side only 2%. The UK help shaped the EU! Oh I forgot, they, all 27 of them needs you more than you need them.
Integration is easy, you just need to want to. Many Brits on the Spanish Costas don’t speak the language. I thought it was British exceptionalism but here we have Bulgarians not wanting to speak English. I’m sure some of them do but don’t want to answer questions. They must feel the hostility.
The only Bulgarian I ever met in the UK spoke English, French and German equally to a high level of fluency, entered banking with no family background, worked incredibly hard and became a millionaire
You never know what are their circumstances and time they came. Maybe they just came and didn't have time to learn English. Learning a new language is not easy when you are past certain age. It's not easy talking to the native either, especially when they have camera on them. Maybe they feel like people will laugh at them if they try to say something in English and it doesn't sound good. There's a ton of things that might be a reason. I met many Bulgarians in Denmark and if they didn't speak Danish they did speak English. It's not like people don't want to learn language, especially when you know you don't have any other choice.
Sounds like Chicago, Illinois in the 50’s, almost everyone was an immigrant. Chicago was the 2nd largest Polish speaking city in the world and it held true for many national groups. I lived an area called little Berlin. Restaurants, threatens, grocery stores, libraries and even the school were German. All that has disappeared; takes at least three generations for integration.
Nonsense, it's scientific proven that second generation has integrated with local population and culture. Why is only one religious minority unwilling to integrate despite living in our liberal societies since FOUR generations and still way over represented in all the negative societal important statistics? Those scary facts isn't changed by an entitled elite and its ongoing relativism and demonisation of migration critics! That part of Brexit is your responsibility as well..
They did and they do. Interview those who voted to stay; they will tell you they mostly regret leaving. Ask those who voted to leave they will tell you they are mostly happy with leaving.
That’s not strictly true. The reality was that the promises made to each sector were highly tailored to them. Effectively each group was told what they wanted to hear, so they voted to leave. When the dust settled, for those a little more observant, it became clear that all those promises were mutually exclusive, hence all the inconclusive “indicative” votes in parliament on “what exactly is Brexit”. It was too late at that point. It’s easy to mock people, but the rage should be focused on the political parties that pedalled wholly dishonest messages and the media that did precisely nothing to challenge and fact check them.
@@alexscarbro796 Who was it that sang You hear what you want to hear and you disregard the rest..... Maybe the people can now reconsider their disregard. Maybe stop reading only the Sun. That is the only Brexit advantage I can think of.
Buyer’s remorse - exactly the term that comes to my mind when i see something Brexit related! The reason for voting Brexit has been for many voters a way to express general disappointment about the development of the last decades. The average Brit has not seen a positive change for some time and had hoped that a protest vote would suddenly make everything better - whatever better meant to them! It was clear that that could not work from the beginning, as the goals of so many different hopes were linked to the Brexit decision!
Although I agree with your statements, I do not agree with the Leave voters. If they were wise enough they should not have taken their problems out on the EU, they should have verified the facts before casting their vote. They should have held their rogue government accountable and not keep voting for them 3 terms in a row. I would say it was a vote of spite and xenophobia and proving they cannot be friends of other nations that benefited them. It was an evil intention, so it punishes them through their government. They learned nothing from history that hostilities, xenophobia, fascism etc would destroy nations. We cannot keep blaming just evil Tories, blame the electorates who put them in power. Very unwise people indeed!
I regret to say this seems an excuse. The reality was a combination of frustration and crass ignorance. It was not the anonymity of the EU, it was anonymity that technology has created. Try to talk to any responsibility on the phone. The resentment, the frustration, declining services all transferred into a silly vote as a result of a lying campaign by the tenth rate politicians. And the people that persist in Brexit are just obstinate and they cannot accept they have been had.

" Buyers remorse"....surely you mean losers remorse. I've yet to meet a leaver, like me who regrets their decision. The non stop whinging is coming from remainers.
I agree with the conclusion of the cafe owner originally from Morocco. It's not about immigration, it's about blaming other people for the problem these people HAD. It's easier to blame other people for your own problems than finding and implementing actual solutions to the problems. Most Brexiteers don't want to solve the problems they had i.e a useless and ineffective government, instead they would rather blame Brussels for everything, literally! 🤦♂️
I wonder why integration of immigrants works better in other Europen countries ? No, I am not so naive to think it is perfect there but it hasn't made any other country want to leave the EU. Maybe teaching the local language first and making them fit for the labour market had helped in countries like say Germany ?
we have problems with integration here in Denmark, mostly all of the countries on the planet have problems, it's sad but true. Thankfully most of us don't get genocidal or stupid enough to shoot ourselves in the foot, unlike leave voters.
I'm Canadian and live in Toronto. My city's population is almost 50% made up of immigrants. We are quite open to diversity and regularly have high immigration each year. It's weird but it's almost like our diversity has proudly became a fabric of Canadian society.
Look, as with every other population there are varied types that come over. Some will be educated or smart, and will already speak english. Others are uneducated or less smart, and will find it hard to speak any other language, will probably work under a few of the smarter ones, and remain like so. Some people integrate, most don't. Look at all the British retiree immigrants in Europe. Most of them can not say more than 6 words in the language of the country. So much so that they call themselves "expatriates" instead of immigrants, which is what they are.
"pretty much like those who crossed the channel illegally last year" NOBODY crossed the channel illegally. Everybody has the right to seek asylum in any country of the world as the UNHCR refugee convention which the UK has signed states. As Braverman admitted, there is no official route for migrants to come to the UK unless they come from Ukraine or a few other special places. She publicly stated that the only way to claim asylum in the UK for most people is to come to the UK and then to apply for it. Why do people keep repeating those government lies about migrants crossing the channel illegally?
@@johnwright9372 Which is ILLEGAL legislation in itself. The UK has SIGNED the UNHCR refugee convention and is thereby obliged to follow it and thereby it NEEDS to accept anyone arriving in the UK to claim asylum. Obviously, the UK tries to sign treaties with anyone just to call them null and void at its will but that is not how international law works, be it regarding this converntion, the N.I. protocol, the TCA with the EU or anything else. All this shows is that the UK is becoming more and more a pariah state and more and more countries recognise this, e.g. New Zealand by stating that it will block the UK's application to join the CPTPP should it not comply in full to its obligations signed regarding the N.I. protocol since that would only show that any treaty the UK signs is not worth the paper it is written on.
Boston had problems before Brexit and the LEAVE compagne claimed the cause would be the EU. In reality the troubles had been part of the ongoing the urban-rural divide we had and have in the last decades.
Urban-rural issues? What nonsense! How about antisemitism, antidemocratic oppressive religious culture? Sharia courts is most certainly a cultural enrichment..😆 🐖💨🧕🏾

Most of the Brits living in Europe don't speak the language of the country they are living in either. Actually I think there is no nation, maybe except the US-Americans, which is worse in learning foreign languages. Maybe it's the well known British arrogance, or maybe they are just lazy... maybe leading UK politicians like Raab, Truss, Kwarteng and are Patel are right in their view about their fellow countrymen...
It's very simple. Most people whose native tongue is not English will be exposed to English from a young age through television, for example. It is THE language to learn. However, if one's native tongue is English, which language should they learn? French, German, Italian, Greek, Czech, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian? The list is endless. This is not meant as an excuse, but the utility of learning English is far greater than the utility of learning most other languages for most people.
English dominates. You learned it most likely from endless movies, TV, videos, radio, music, culture, etc. Why do I need to spend two years learning a language for a 2-week vacation?
@colindant3410 I was born in France, and you are only being exposed to English in school just like you guys. You are desilusional and disingenuous. I have learned English here in England, Brits are lazy to learn foreign language this is your real problem.
Can confirm. I grew up in Poland before I have moved to Australia. We had a lot of English people coming to Poland to teach English. A lot of them lived there for years and couldn't put one sentence together. And during that time not many Polish people spoke English. They were basically completely unable to communicate with the locals and often complained how backwards Poland was because not many people spoke English 🤷

When the reporter huffed and puffed and rolled his eyes at people not speaking English, is that what he'd expect European people to do at English who come to their country without speaking their language? When he talked about the number of illegal immigrants coming in small boats, as he talking about the people who failed an asylum claim and didn't leave afterwards? When locals say Brexit hasn't worked and even made things worse but they'd vote the same again, is that the famous definition of insanity? I'm gratified that for ruining lots of people's lives, Leave voters are suffering, but they have so much more learning to do yet.

I don’t want to be rude but the Fens is my least favourite part of England. Not much has come out of it (agricultural products aside) since the Roundheads, Englands Taliban. Low pay, low levels of education, insular, parochial, narrow minded, unable to cope with social change. Not everyone obviously but there is something about those flat fields which crushes the spirit.
The problems with immigration they refer to were not caused by the EU in the first place. Transpires the UK Govt (who would have believed) did not enforce immigration correctly to start with.
There is a sort of logic as expressed by the family farm business owners. The tendency to usage of large firms, they having to use cheap most east european labour not available locally "'cos they all go to university "which in turn means that more public services , NHS, Schools, accommodation are needed. When there is no money for the public services, the result is waiting lists etc. That is a political problem on how to cope. This phenomena is not new, nor is it restricted to GB. Switzerland, for example, says it has a net increase of immigration of about 50 000 people a year - mostly from Germany and working in part in highly skilled well paid jobs incl hospitals . They are require to be housed , their children schooled, their health care taken care of etc. The report on it I read summed it up quite nicely. "Every year we have to build and equip the equivalent of a small town and all its amenities." Is this the price to pay for continuous economic growth?
Its also demographics. The migrants shove away a time where most of the people you see on the streets are the elderly. After that it is ghost towns, ghost streets, ghost alleys.
I like the woman who said 'no, I don't speak English." Believe me, they speak English, they just don't like racists and are inclined to treat racists with the same contempt that racists show to them. All the quality people in Boston left for the US centuries ago.
@@hoWa3920 that is a myth, most of the worlds population learn the language of the country they end up in.

@@marksykes1191 i know it , a lot of people in portugal and spain are tired of british people livind there couz they make no effort to learn spanish or portuguese thats a fact
Depends on where in Spain or Portugal they look. In the streets filled with English pubs no one will speak their language. Outside, most will have at least an elementary knowledge of the language of their guest country. It's a matter of respect, as well as a desire to communicate and integrate in the local society.
Transients working in the fields for limited periods of time have no need to learn the local language. Actual immigrants should be offered English lessons free of charge in an effort to help them to integrate. The indigenous locals should be made aware that these immigrants are doing valuable work in the community. The local yokels will be mighty put out if the immigrants leave and the locals have to start shoveling $hit. You can't please some people. I grew up in Canada in the 1960's. The guys that I played hockey and baseball with had Polish, Ukrainian, German, etc. parents. Oh yeah, there were a few English types in the neighborhood, you know, for colour.
it amazes me how hostile immigrants can be to other immigrants. Forgetting that they also came to the same place out of necessity and how they were treated by the natives. And they are still being treated like "foriners" , but they have this servant mentality and get upset that other unfortunate souls seeking a better life might get their British masters mad. Utterly disgusting and despicable behaviour.

Now they're using the same playbook in the US.. GOP is just pointing fingers at the immigrants and Trump gets elected because MAGA is convinced there are immigrants hiding in the bushes, trying to eat their pets.. it's f ridiculous
Why would leaving the EU address the immigration problems the former Mayor Anton suggested was causing strain on the country? The Government themselves published research showing EU countries had a low impact and even a beneficial impact on public services, housing and the economy*. The EU even has restrictions on freedom of movement that EU immigrants need either a job or enough money to support themselves when staying more than 3 months in a country (Directive 2004/38/EC). *EEA Migration in the UK: Final Report, 2018
Instead of blaming the politicians in London who wouldn't fund the infrastructure/ services, they blamed the immigrants and EU. Stuck. Still stuck. That's the fate of old industries like agriculture and fishing - only your sister will work for you! "Go West Young Man."
Why is it so difficult for me to move to every country in the world? It is because there are rules to keep out those, like me, without enough money to meet the rules. Other countries also prevent illegal immigrants from moving to their countries by not allowing them to make any business or work. Many countries also insist that you leave their country every 3 months, and are only allowed to return if they can show enough funds to support themselves. Anyone caught in most countries illegally is kicked out. So why is it so easy to illegally enter England, get paid and housed and fed and have rights? If we applied the same rules as most other countries there'd be no illegal immigrants.
You would find it difficult to get a computer science degree, start a business, or make a few million. But, people do it all the time ... all over the world.
Keep saying your British. eg I'm Australian. I'm not anything else. Australian is all my people not . And there's 20 million of us . I'm first Generation, my Children are First Australians. 100%.
Either anyone from a foreign country is unwelcome and a foreigner, like the former mayor from Ukip, or they are welcome. I cant see, why 15 years should make a difference. If you stick to the rules, whats the problem?
it´s a very geriatric town with working class jobs. i hate brexit but britain is bursting at the seems and every scrap of land will be built on. there has to be some controls so there is enough breathing space. meanwhile boris who was against brexit, then for brexit, will retire very nicely somewhere sunny abroad
Of course ...yrs ago ...when I was at school , and the English, they don't want to do this sort of work now...... Years ago , when farmer Giles was at school , houses cost 3 times wages and rents were affordable. Who wants to work on crappppp wages on some farm when accommodation wise it ain't gonna pay the bills. Bit different 40 yrs ago when homes and rents were affordable on modest wages
They say they don`t speak English, because they don`t want to speak with you. It does not mean they really don`t speak English... Just when those Snobby English visit us in Europe and make no attempt to fit in, then I also do not speak English.
I just see one group, picking on another group, and the other group picking on the next group down - or in, depending on your perspective? Germany takes massive numbers of immigrants, but I know they support immigrants better and this influx should have been shared across the country... rather than concentrating on certain areas.
If the government supported the immigrants better it means they would have to treat the British people better too. The Tories can't have that, might cost them and their mates a bit more tax...not forgetting the moral hazard of "government handouts:...Gawd help us...

"... schools are packed, you cannot get an appointment with a GP, the NHS is packed, ..." and he blames it all on the migrants although he is a migrant himself from Morocco but denies being a migrant. Obviously, he does not realise that none of the problems he mentioned have anything to do with migrants who are a big part of NHS staff and also many GPs are migrants. These problems all stem from the same source: Tory austerity, underfunding the NHS on purpose to ruin it and replace it with a private system, underfunding schools, underfunding everything and then blaming it on migrants and fools like this migrant fall for those lies and vote for Brexit, making all the problems worse with that foolish decision.

Interesting logic - "Most of Brexiters said they would vote for Brexit again because problems have not gone away" It means they would vote again for problems not going away?
Blair was the architect of Brexit, he decided not to use the 7 year migration controls post 2004 that almost every other EU country used. The result was the UK, particularly the South East, had the biggest and fastest influx in Europe with no infrastructure planning.
Almost sounds just like the Americans Repugnicans.
They have been sold down the river by all those " educated" tax dodgers.

@@cpcattin Better than what they had in which way exactly? A pound that lost 20% of its value compared to the USD AND the EUR?
More than 4% loss of GDP resulting in a loss of 100 billion per year for now with an added loss of another 40 billion per year starting June 2025 when the UK loses the right to do Euro clearing?
Newly introduced or increased taxes to make up for those losses?
Food rotting in the fields and healthy animals being culled due to worker shortages in all sectors, be it picking fruit, processing animals, construction, NHS, hospitality, ...? Therefore farmers reducing their production since they cannot profit from it anyway, thereby making the UK even more dependent on imported food while it already imports 46% of its food and global food shortages are here due to climate crisis, the war in Ukraine and other factors?
Loss of sovereignty due to signing capitulations to Australia and other countries which e.g. means that Australian businesses have now the right to sue the "sovereign" UK government should it create or change laws in a way that they feel diminishes their losses?
Lowered standards of food to even get that capitulation?
Lowered standards in water quality by allowing raw sewage to be pumped into rivers, lakes and the sea?
Loss of worker's rights due to dropping all laws that originally came from the EU even if they had been introduced by the UK?

Jesus's, how wrong you are. Your flippant remarks may get you thumbs up but here is the reality?
I voted to join the EU and to stay in the EU in 2016 Referendum. So in the UK I'm classed as a Remainer, I'm proud of it. Infact, I kept having discussions with people prior to the Referendum and have been called a "Traitor", "Traitors to Britain", "Traitor to my country" and "If I like the EU do much go an live their" etc.
I was shocked at the naivety, ignorance of the British people who followed like sheep the Rightwing policies but worse Personality's rather than their policies or ask the big questions to every statements they made of Why? How?
Rather than listen to the Evangelistic Politics of the Leavers of "Just believe in Britain", "We don't need to know how, we'll sort that out when we leave, you just need to believe in Britain", .....bollocks like that.
In 2017 I sold up and sadly left my country, because I didn't like the Isolationism it was going. I disliked how the rightwings were acting with the exenaphobia and racisum on the rise. I thought Britain would be where it is today. I believed in the EU values more than where the UK was going. I'm still a UK citizen but I still live in the EU.
I saw the split in the UK and realised it would take a generation or two for it to settle or one of the Leading Political Partys grew some balls and negotiated a better deal than "Boris's Hard Brexit" that he dreamed up, it was never a question on the Referendum form.
I predicted,, there would be more paper work for exports because if outside you would have to prove you followed the EU laws, so not less, but more. I predicted that "British Laws for British people" the Leavers shouted, really meant 'Power Hungry MPs' who, wanted to reduce EU laws, not strengthen them. They would take us back to the 1970s just before we joined the EU with a return to polluted seas, air and rivers, they would, get rid of the 40 hour workers directive etc! So far been proved right on every front but sadly even worse than I predicted.
They still believe the NHS is the greatest healthcare system in the world too, so Brexit came as no surprise.

During the Trump Administration, Brexit was the only schadenfreude our country could enjoy, because we had become a laughing stock of the world.
I just happened to be in London on my birthday on March 29th, 2019 for my birthday. And we just happened to be by Buckingham Palace when Teresa May lost her vote. All hell broke loose by Westminster Abbey and No. 10.
Something that stuck me: Brexiteers looked A LOT like American Trumpers. Red hats, wearing the national flag as a clothing or capes, lots of blue-collar working class support and probably all of them not fully understanding what leaving the EU was going to end up costing them… because they listened to conservatives and ignored all progressives.
My country may have voted for Trump, but we didn’t then tear up any and all trade agreements with a nearby continent… and then struggle to find anything to celebrate after leaving it.
It’s madness.
I'm Canadian and Trump is all hot air, but even he was not crazy enough to rip up NAFTA or incite a full blown trade war with China.
What the Brits done with Brexit was short-sighted and driven mostly but opportunistic politicians (Bozo from left wing mayor of London and Farage, a do nothing MEP ironically receiving welfare payments from the EU). The irony is always that nationalistic right-wing politics is to create an angry us vs them mentality to vote against their own best interests. The older gen. was nostalgic for empire 2.0, the poor chose it as an anti-establishment f u, and the racists were always going to vote for the anti-immigrant party.
First, US admins didn't have to tear up any agreements as they, in fact, can hardly be called an agreements - its forced trade deals where's bigger eats smaller - this is why Trump was so against China as outsource, as this particular trade would eventually eat up US economy (US is smaller fish in this one, just to point out) but he has failed in it as profit of a few "patriots" (in his party) was more important than benefit of a whole nation.
Second, any right wing supporter is the same in any county in the world, undereducated, poor, frivolous thus misinformed or just mad enough to believe in right wing "blame others" crap. Unfortunatelly, they are also majority in every nation in the world...
At the end, UK is just paying the price of neglected education system, neglected independent media, too long rule of protected upper class, where's average folks are left behind economically and used as sheeple.

Must be the superb British education
When the UK voted Brexit they gave the EU, the proverbial finger. One cannot have Brexit in some place and not in other places. The UK is a third party country and should be treated as such. It is what they voted for. The EU must not compromise with the UK, that would be sending the wrong message. The UK has voted ‘No’ to laws passed at EU on 56 occasions, abstained 70 times, and voted ‘Yes’ 2,466 times. The UK was on the “winning side” 95% of the time, abstained 3% of the time, and were on the losing side only 2%. The UK help shaped the EU! Oh I forgot, they, all 27 of them needs you more than you need them.

Integration is easy, you just need to want to. Many Brits on the Spanish Costas don’t speak the language. I thought it was British exceptionalism but here we have Bulgarians not wanting to speak English. I’m sure some of them do but don’t want to answer questions. They must feel the hostility.
The only Bulgarian I ever met in the UK spoke English, French and German equally to a high level of fluency, entered banking with no family background, worked incredibly hard and became a millionaire
You never know what are their circumstances and time they came. Maybe they just came and didn't have time to learn English. Learning a new language is not easy when you are past certain age. It's not easy talking to the native either, especially when they have camera on them. Maybe they feel like people will laugh at them if they try to say something in English and it doesn't sound good. There's a ton of things that might be a reason. I met many Bulgarians in Denmark and if they didn't speak Danish they did speak English. It's not like people don't want to learn language, especially when you know you don't have any other choice.

Nonsense, it's scientific proven that second generation has integrated with local population and culture.

Those scary facts isn't changed by an entitled elite and its ongoing relativism and demonisation of migration critics! That part of Brexit is your responsibility as well..

They did and they do. Interview those who voted to stay; they will tell you they mostly regret leaving. Ask those who voted to leave they will tell you they are mostly happy with leaving.
Buyer’s remorse? What about caveat emptor. They knew exactly what they were voting for .. third country status, and they got it.
That’s not strictly true. The reality was that the promises made to each sector were highly tailored to them. Effectively each group was told what they wanted to hear, so they voted to leave.
When the dust settled, for those a little more observant, it became clear that all those promises were mutually exclusive, hence all the inconclusive “indicative” votes in parliament on “what exactly is Brexit”. It was too late at that point.
It’s easy to mock people, but the rage should be focused on the political parties that pedalled wholly dishonest messages and the media that did precisely nothing to challenge and fact check them.

Buyer’s remorse - exactly the term that comes to my mind when i see something Brexit related!
The reason for voting Brexit has been for many voters a way to express general disappointment about the development of the last decades. The average Brit has not seen a positive change for some time and had hoped that a protest vote would suddenly make everything better - whatever better meant to them!
It was clear that that could not work from the beginning, as the goals of so many different hopes were linked to the Brexit decision!
that's why brexit doesn't work.
Although I agree with your statements, I do not agree with the Leave voters. If they were wise enough they should not have taken their problems out on the EU, they should have verified the facts before casting their vote. They should have held their rogue government accountable and not keep voting for them 3 terms in a row. I would say it was a vote of spite and xenophobia and proving they cannot be friends of other nations that benefited them. It was an evil intention, so it punishes them through their government. They learned nothing from history that hostilities, xenophobia, fascism etc would destroy nations. We cannot keep blaming just evil Tories, blame the electorates who put them in power. Very unwise people indeed!
I regret to say this seems an excuse. The reality was a combination of frustration and crass ignorance. It was not the anonymity of the EU, it was anonymity that technology has created. Try to talk to any responsibility on the phone. The resentment, the frustration, declining services all transferred into a silly vote as a result of a lying campaign by the tenth rate politicians. And the people that persist in Brexit are just obstinate and they cannot accept they have been had.

I agree with the conclusion of the cafe owner originally from Morocco. It's not about immigration, it's about blaming other people for the problem these people HAD.

I wonder why integration of immigrants works better in other Europen countries ?
No, I am not so naive to think it is perfect there but it hasn't made any other country want to leave the EU.
Maybe teaching the local language first and making them fit for the labour market had helped in countries like say Germany ?
we have problems with integration here in Denmark, mostly all of the countries on the planet have problems, it's sad but true. Thankfully most of us don't get genocidal or stupid enough to shoot ourselves in the foot, unlike leave voters.

I'm Canadian and live in Toronto. My city's population is almost 50% made up of immigrants. We are quite open to diversity and regularly have high immigration each year. It's weird but it's almost like our diversity has proudly became a fabric of Canadian society.

Some will be educated or smart, and will already speak english.
Others are uneducated or less smart, and will find it hard to speak any other language, will probably work under a few of the smarter ones, and remain like so.

"pretty much like those who crossed the channel illegally last year" NOBODY crossed the channel illegally.

Under the Government's policy there is NO legal way an asylum seeker can enter the country.
@@johnwright9372 Which is ILLEGAL legislation in itself. The UK has SIGNED the UNHCR refugee convention and is thereby obliged to follow it and thereby it NEEDS to accept anyone arriving in the UK to claim asylum. Obviously, the UK tries to sign treaties with anyone just to call them null and void at its will but that is not how international law works, be it regarding this converntion, the N.I. protocol, the TCA with the EU or anything else.
All this shows is that the UK is becoming more and more a pariah state and more and more countries recognise this, e.g. New Zealand by stating that it will block the UK's application to join the CPTPP should it not comply in full to its obligations signed regarding the N.I. protocol since that would only show that any treaty the UK signs is not worth the paper it is written on.
Boston had problems before Brexit and the LEAVE compagne claimed the cause would be the EU. In reality the troubles had been part of the ongoing the urban-rural divide we had and have in the last decades.
It should have flagged up its urban-rural divide problem by chucking tea in the harbour🤣
Urban-rural issues? What nonsense! How about antisemitism, antidemocratic oppressive religious culture? Sharia courts is most certainly a cultural enrichment..😆

TRT is now on my Subscription List after I found a recording of myself being recorded by TRT at the London Wine Trade Fair. Seems a much more adult and honest channel than the BBC ever will be.
Depends about what. Just avoid listening to them when it comes to Turkey, (I mean, except to hear how it is the greatest, most beautiful, God-chosen country with its wonderful president) and other way they're pretty okay.
@@alioshax7797 ALL countries, apart from one, are GOD-chosen. And it is very beautiful in places, pretty much like anywhere else. As to the greatest, every idiotic nationalist thinks the same. Just look at Farage and Trumpanzee.
And you suggest I should avoid listening to them when I need the latest update on MsF? You want to censor me?
As to the president, he started well, and then forgot he was meant to be basing himself on Kemal Ataturk!!
*_This is a completely unscientific program, interviewing a person here and a person there is no way to understand the situation._*
i've no
pitty of this people after listen to them
Most of the Brits living in Europe don't speak the language of the country they are living in either. Actually I think there is no nation, maybe except the US-Americans, which is worse in learning foreign languages. Maybe it's the well known British arrogance, or maybe they are just lazy... maybe leading UK politicians like Raab, Truss, Kwarteng and are Patel are right in their view about their fellow countrymen...
It's very simple. Most people whose native tongue is not English will be exposed to English from a young age through television, for example. It is THE language to learn. However, if one's native tongue is English, which language should they learn? French, German, Italian, Greek, Czech, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian? The list is endless. This is not meant as an excuse, but the utility of learning English is far greater than the utility of learning most other languages for most people.
@@colindant3410 Which is precisely why so many "illegal immigrants" prefer to head for England. Many know more English than they let on.
English dominates. You learned it most likely from endless movies, TV, videos, radio, music, culture, etc. Why do I need to spend two years learning a language for a 2-week vacation?
@colindant3410 I was born in France, and you are only being exposed to English in school just like you guys. You are desilusional and disingenuous. I have learned English here in England, Brits are lazy to learn foreign language this is your real problem.
Can confirm. I grew up in Poland before I have moved to Australia. We had a lot of English people coming to Poland to teach English. A lot of them lived there for years and couldn't put one sentence together. And during that time not many Polish people spoke English. They were basically completely unable to communicate with the locals and often complained how backwards Poland was because not many people spoke English 🤷
"Be careful about what you want. You might just get it." - George Bernard Shaw
"Most of those we meet say they would vote brexit again - the problems haven't gone away" I'm not sure this makes sense?
Did Brexit made sense than anyway?
How many English lessons can these people get locally? Integration is a two-way street
good point.
They blame the newcomers, and not the government doing nothing for anyone
@queennzinga5988 you should check out the EU language learning policy. It might answer your question correctly.
Maybe by the way you frame your question, people pretend to not speak english.
its getto mentality you see it with brits in spain go there live there but as a group not learning to be spanish but building a british getto england has had immigration for thousands of years but they intergrated added bits but became brits now they dont its sad brexit was a dumb falier only mp an rich buisness won making money out of trashing the uk be they will want to rejoin when they see profits in doing so
@@baldoldbear true including Nigel Farage (French heritages) who started it all. Married to a French woman and holds a dual British and EU Past Port, as does his Children. None have to wait in ques at Airports either and has freedom of movement that he took away from the rest of the UK.🖕🖕
Then there is Boris Johneon, the Priminister who negotiated a Hard Brexit that was never part of the Referendum who was born in America and most recently has Turkish ancestry but is a bit of a mongrel having Ancestry from other European countries particularly France! Has a duel PastPort so doesn't have to wait in ques at Airports either and has freedom of movement to live in any EU country that he took away from everyone else. 🖕 🖕
Both very much do as I say not what I do, but sold the lie to the niev Leaver contingency during Brexit.
brexit was just an excuse to blame the eu for uk problems
When the reporter huffed and puffed and rolled his eyes at people not speaking English, is that what he'd expect European people to do at English who come to their country without speaking their language?
When he talked about the number of illegal immigrants coming in small boats, as he talking about the people who failed an asylum claim and didn't leave afterwards?
When locals say Brexit hasn't worked and even made things worse but they'd vote the same again, is that the famous definition of insanity?
I'm gratified that for ruining lots of people's lives, Leave voters are suffering, but they have so much more learning to do yet. And all they needed to learn was the right target to hold accountable for their troubles.
I don’t want to be rude but the Fens is my least favourite part of England. Not much has come out of it (agricultural products aside) since the Roundheads, Englands Taliban. Low pay, low levels of education, insular, parochial, narrow minded, unable to cope with social change. Not everyone obviously but there is something about those flat fields which crushes the spirit.
Ah BREXIT The GIFT that keeps on giving
The problems with immigration they refer to were not caused by the EU in the first place. Transpires the UK Govt (who would have believed) did not enforce immigration correctly to start with.
Does the Coverment even offer Integration Courses? This should be mandatory, but it is costing Money, of course, and politicly it's not wanted.
Perhaps all countries should have a policy whereby people can only be granted residence if they speak the local language to a certain level of fluency
@@giovanniacuto2688 yes..i am looking forward that, with UK residents at spain.
Let's do it!
There is a sort of logic as expressed by the family farm business owners. The tendency to usage of large firms, they having to use cheap most east european labour not available locally "'cos they all go to university "which in turn means that more public services , NHS, Schools, accommodation are needed. When there is no money for the public services, the result is waiting lists etc. That is a political problem on how to cope.
This phenomena is not new, nor is it restricted to GB. Switzerland, for example, says it has a net increase of immigration of about 50 000 people a year - mostly from Germany and working in part in highly skilled well paid jobs incl hospitals . They are require to be housed , their children schooled, their health care taken care of etc. The report on it I read summed it up quite nicely. "Every year we have to build and equip the equivalent of a small town and all its amenities."
Is this the price to pay for continuous economic growth?
Its also demographics. The migrants shove away a time where most of the people you see on the streets are the elderly. After that it is ghost towns, ghost streets, ghost alleys.
Stupid politicians could have avoided all that if they would have allowed people from India to go to UK and work. Would be a win win situation for all
I believe the indignation at foreigners who refuse to make an attempt to assimilate is justified. Brexit, however, was not any kind of solution.
Like the Brit’s in Spain who don’t integrate!
they made their bed, now they have to lie in it.
Much of the problem blamed on Brexit, is in fact the governments foolish approach.
I'm Canadian. The word austerity is even more daunting to me the term Right Wing.
"You came from Mprocco" "No I am British [...] When I arrived here 11 years ago" yeah...:D
😁🤣😁 he is more British than the British! Hypocritical! 🤣
Myself a good question to have asked would have been how long have they been in England and do they intend to stay?
I like the woman who said 'no, I don't speak English." Believe me, they speak English, they just don't like racists and are inclined to treat racists with the same contempt that racists show to them. All the quality people in Boston left for the US centuries ago.
How often do locals in some communities in spain or portugal struggle to find a spanish or portugese speaking randomly picked stranger...
How do you know ?
@@marksykes1191 Everybody knows that most of the English don't like speaking foreign langues. Because you would have to learn something.
@@hoWa3920 that is a myth, most of the worlds population learn the language of the country they end up in. In my travels around the world it is the Germans who have great problems but I would not dream of saying, ''Germans don't like speaking foreign languages'' that would be a racist comment in my book.
@@marksykes1191 i know it , a lot of people in portugal and spain are tired of british people livind there couz they make no effort to learn spanish or portuguese thats a fact
Depends on where in Spain or Portugal they look. In the streets filled with English pubs no one will speak their language. Outside, most will have at least an elementary knowledge of the language of their guest country. It's a matter of respect, as well as a desire to communicate and integrate in the local society.
Like always TRT world, well done programs.
Transients working in the fields for limited periods of time have no need to learn the local language. Actual immigrants should be offered English lessons free of charge in an effort to help them to integrate.
The indigenous locals should be made aware that these immigrants are doing valuable work in the community. The local yokels will be mighty put out if the immigrants leave and the locals have to start shoveling $hit. You can't please some people.
I grew up in Canada in the 1960's. The guys that I played hockey and baseball with had Polish, Ukrainian, German, etc. parents. Oh yeah, there were a few English types in the neighborhood, you know, for colour.
it amazes me how hostile immigrants can be to other immigrants. Forgetting that they also came to the same place out of necessity and how they were treated by the natives. And they are still being treated like "foriners" , but they have this servant mentality and get upset that other unfortunate souls seeking a better life might get their British masters mad. Utterly disgusting and despicable behaviour.
Do you mean the fat Polish lady?
SHUT THE BL°°DY BACKGROUND MUSIC OFF!!!!!
Sad when the farmer described the bottom layer as not so bright. There is book smart and making and fixing stuff smart and the latter is just as bright if not more so.
Those people can/do speak English they just don't want to talk to the interviewer please don't be fooled once again they can speak and understand English.
Brexit was a huge mistake and a disaster period good luck getting back to Europe.
Other than that a great video keep up the great work👍
And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
Austerity causing the issues, migrants getting blamed.
Now they're using the same playbook in the US.. GOP is just pointing fingers at the immigrants and Trump gets elected because MAGA is convinced there are immigrants hiding in the bushes, trying to eat their pets.. it's f ridiculous
Ok they don't speak English but they WORK (in contrast to so many UK citizens) and contribute to the UK society by paying tax - what is the problem?!
Why would leaving the EU address the immigration problems the former Mayor Anton suggested was causing strain on the country?
The Government themselves published research showing EU countries had a low impact and even a beneficial impact on public services, housing and the economy*. The EU even has restrictions on freedom of movement that EU immigrants need either a job or enough money to support themselves when staying more than 3 months in a country (Directive 2004/38/EC).
*EEA Migration in the UK: Final Report, 2018
Instead of blaming the politicians in London who wouldn't fund the infrastructure/ services, they blamed the immigrants and EU. Stuck. Still stuck. That's the fate of old industries like agriculture and fishing - only your sister will work for you! "Go West Young Man."
Doesn't seem like they're too bothered about Brexit problems overall...
The EU is the BIG democracy in the world
Democracy.. 🤣 good one
British voted for all this mess !
Boston people should charge for giving interviews.
Welcome them in. Out the biggots!
If I was an immigrant, I wouldn't want to be on TV too. "I don't know English" is safer than getting into trouble. 😵💫
I wonder how they would feel if i came to this city as a Canadian?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes 😳
Why is it so difficult for me to move to every country in the world? It is because there are rules to keep out those, like me, without enough money to meet the rules. Other countries also prevent illegal immigrants from moving to their countries by not allowing them to make any business or work. Many countries also insist that you leave their country every 3 months, and are only allowed to return if they can show enough funds to support themselves. Anyone caught in most countries illegally is kicked out. So why is it so easy to illegally enter England, get paid and housed and fed and have rights? If we applied the same rules as most other countries there'd be no illegal immigrants.
It's difficult for you because you don't try. There are many people who would find it difficult to move within their own country.
You would find it difficult to get a computer science degree, start a business, or make a few million. But, people do it all the time ... all over the world.
Keep saying your British. eg I'm Australian. I'm not anything else. Australian is all my people not . And there's 20 million of us . I'm first Generation, my Children are First Australians. 100%.
I could not have put it better myself
Either anyone from a foreign country is unwelcome and a foreigner, like the former mayor from Ukip, or they are welcome. I cant see, why 15 years should make a difference.
If you stick to the rules, whats the problem?
Difficult to watch Britain sink back into the sea.
That Moroccan man, my god the entitlement. That is the most British thing about him
Boston can't cope because of austerity!
This reporter sickens me. Leave people who don't want to talk alone. Stop pressuring them.
This host is quite awkward walking around the shops, it all feels a bit forced.
Sad place ☹️
`We voted for Brexit, but our problems haven't gone away. So, we would vote for Brexit again`
Logic is truly wasted on people like that.
😂
it´s a very geriatric town with working class jobs. i hate brexit but britain is bursting at the seems and every scrap of land will be built on. there has to be some controls so there is enough breathing space. meanwhile boris who was against brexit, then for brexit, will retire very nicely somewhere sunny abroad
Of course ...yrs ago ...when I was at school , and the English, they don't want to do this sort of work now......
Years ago , when farmer Giles was at school , houses cost 3 times wages and rents were affordable. Who wants to work on crappppp wages on some farm when accommodation wise it ain't gonna pay the bills. Bit different 40 yrs ago when homes and rents were affordable on modest wages
I think they were sold a dummy?
They say they don`t speak English, because they don`t want to speak with you. It does not mean they really don`t speak English... Just when those Snobby English visit us in Europe and make no attempt to fit in, then I also do not speak English.
I just see one group, picking on another group, and the other group picking on the next group down - or in, depending on your perspective?
Germany takes massive numbers of immigrants, but I know they support immigrants better and this influx should have been shared across the country... rather than concentrating on certain areas.
If the government supported the immigrants better it means they would have to treat the British people better too. The Tories can't have that, might cost them and their mates a bit more tax...not forgetting the moral hazard of "government handouts:...Gawd help us...
@@jimbob-robob Then they have the poor picking on each other with the help of the billionaire owned newspapers such as Daily Mail, Express etc?
Before the World Wars Germany took in Jews from Eastern Europe fleeing from the Russian pogroms. Then we know what happened. The Est European jews who made it to the United States has better luck.
@@giovanniacuto2688 I don't even know what means... do you?
I wouldn't want to integrate either if I ended up in the most leave-heavy part of the country
4:40 "No speak English." HAHAAA I use this good ol' tactic here in Japan. Pretty much every other day salespeople coming to my door and boy they are persistent. And oh those NHK fee collectors (their BBC.) No no no I have no terebi (which is true.)
It must have taken some time to find the right selection of people for this EU-funded video, who were willing to declare that they regret their Brexit vote.
