How is it democratic when the Brexiteers straight up lied to people? Told them tons and tons of lies, misconceptions to enforce their perverse views. That's not democracy at old, it's manipulation, corruption and treason. In the aftermath of the vote many realised what they've done and as the negotiations went on, many lose more and more their faith in it. Democracy isn't total, it's very much alive. If the people would've voted against Brexit there would've been another try later. Just as in Scotland with the independence. It's democratic to give people a choice but after the vote people behaved like it's total, unchangable. And in the end they enforced something which was domed from tge start. For Brexit wasn't a democratic choice but abuse. In the end they just did the same as Hitler, who made tons of promises and lies to get in power, to get what he want. The Brexiteers just use the same tools and abused democracy just like Hitler did. Of course they are not like Hitler, they just use the same manipulative tools.

(jubilation and beauty) Plus de haine sur la terre (No more hatred on the Earth) Que renaisse le bonheur (on which happiness is reborn) Tous les hommes sont des frères (All men are brothers) Quand la joie unit les cœurs. (when joy unites hearts.)
Just as police upped they game on the front line. Think that Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not to warn us but rather to advertise it on the basis of it being controlled to some extent. Big industry in those early days. Rules of engagement will change. Don't get left behind.
This is one of the most shameful acts of disrespect I've ever seen from anyone representing our great country on the international stage. This is deeply embarrassing to the good people of the UK. I can't possibly believe that these people are from the same country as me.
Adults has the great responsibility to represent not only themselves but also their childrens that they will inherit the earth 🌎. This is why we chose politicians with the most childish behaviour.
I keep thinking about these despicable brexit nitwits who turned their backs on Ode to Joy. So shameful. They were showing even less respect for themselves by saying ‘No’ to Brother and Sisterhood, to life and to love. . Such contemptible oxygen thieves. So sad...
"Why would they need their own flag" You don't need to think of it as a flag. More like a Logo. You could say "Why would Apple need a flag?" It's not a flag. It's a Logo. "Anthem" Again, you could think of it just like a song they like. "and parliament" That was there from the beggining. That is why countries join the EU. For the parliament and it's benefits.
@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus Please buy some history books. First of there are many states who where sort of forced in the US trough conquest. Like former parts of Mexico. In the EU every country voted to join himself, the EU has no military so it cannot force countries to join. Every country has the freedom to leave if they want.

England and France where the ones that caused the most deaths through their uncountable wars and if England never existed, West Europe would probably be dominated by France, so there wouldn't even have been any World Wars. And don't even get me started on why the Soviet Union, a country that did so many war crimes, really doesn't need to be praised. I'm quite shocked that I actually need to explain this...

He blew their cover. Yes the EU Parliament is the only outfit elected by EU citizens. The Brexit members rose to their feet only they had the tenacity to turn away.
He is just saying that in the same way it's disrespectful to not stand for another country's anthem whether or not you disagree with them, the same applies to the EU
So that means other people now have the right to disrespect the anthem of the UK? And also turn their back towards it?! Even if people disagree with a country or the EU, it's highly disrespectful to turn the their backs on a national anthem, especially if you are a guest there.
@Gabriel That's something completely different. I would also turn my back for the old parts of our national anthem. And even if the EU isn't a country it's still highly disrespectful.
@Viz Sorry I triggered you. I am not a remainer btw b/c I'm not british. I feel sorry for Brits who voted remain, especially those in poverty, who now will be worse off. But I think in the long term it's probably better for the EU if the UK leaves. Also, due to the free-falling pound there are already fewer drunken english tourists / stag parties where I live - so that's a bonus.
The British meps were very disrespectful of the anthem of the EU. In my way of thinking they are behaving very childishly.The UK I used to respect, but this nonsense is ridiculous. Out of the EU UK will either. They would be outraged if other EU members reacted the same way as this group of British members to the singing of God save the Queen. Somehow I think they have more class than that. As a Canadian and member of the Commonwealth, I am ashamed at this childless.
The conservatives of Britain and the Brexiteers are making a once great nation look like a third world bunch of hypocrites. JOhnson will not keep his promises. He will lead with some help, the country to a dismal end. God keep the UK from his clutch for any length of time. It reminds me of a quote. "Lord forgive them for they know not what they do".
Andrei Brataon Just the pro Brexit people. I’m English and I never supported our country leaving the EU. I could understand where you are coming from since what they did was really disgraceful.
rosshilton I know. But you did not mentioned the Maastricht Treaty signed on 7th February 1992 which was agreed by the members of the ECC back then thus making them the member states of the European Union. Yes the EU has a flag and anthem but did that organisation forced the government to put the flag in government buildings and teach the people especially the schoolchildren the “Ode to Joy”? The anthem is simply a symbol of unity between *SOVEREIGN* member states. Yet the people against the EU criticise it when problems arises in any of the EU 27 as if they are the only one who decides what to do.
rosshilton rosshilton I wonder if the *”majority”* of the people would be still against the EU when the food standards get lower and the USA chlorinated chicken arrived. The UK is now going to be tax haven for rich tax evaders and money launderers. *Do we still hold all the cards against the EU?* I just realised the referendum took place on this day.
Kieran Henderson Please don’t talk about tax havens and money laundering mate - take a look at Ireland with its illegal Double Irish tax system. Under Irish law a company can transfer its profits tax-free to the offshore company, where they can remain untaxed for years. ... If done right, there is no tax paid anywhere. The first Irish company now has all the money and can again send it onward to the company in the tax haven. Or look at Germany where foreign investors are freed from the burden of taxes on interest in Germany. The country retains the privacy of account holders. Foreign income is exempt from taxation whether it is in the form of dividends from foreign subsidiaries or income earned in foreign branches. Corporations benefit from Germany's tax environment as only 5% of dividends and capital gains have taxes levied against them. These classes of income are considered nondeductible operating expenditures according to German accounting standards. Or look at Luxembourg where dividends of many companies are not taxed. Long-term capital gains on stocks are tax-exempt if a majority share is 10% or more is not held. By placing segments of business entities in Luxembourg, corporations worldwide have been able to cut huge tax bills from their expenses. Luxembourg has become so notable for its tax laws that much of the country's attractiveness for outside businesses are owed exclusively to these features, and Luxembourg's economy is partially built around the business gained from its tax structure. Luxembourg is also a global centre for money laundering - but they refuse to control it. Happy to prove all of the above form EU reports and documents. Let’s not use tax avoidance as an argument shall we......

Disgusting behaviour. And I’m ashamed to be British. We love EU. So sorry for my country’s bad behaviour
We love the EU ???
Sure that why we voted to leave
Idiot
The majority voted to leave. We are ashamed of the remainer minorities.
Just as police upped they game on the front line. Think that Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not to warn us but rather to advertise it on the basis of it being controlled to some extent. Big industry in those early days. Rules of engagement will change. Don't get left behind.

This is one of the most shameful acts of disrespect I've ever seen from anyone representing our great country on the international stage. This is deeply embarrassing to the good people of the UK. I can't possibly believe that these people are from the same country as me.

This is why we chose politicians with the most childish behaviour.
I keep thinking about these despicable brexit nitwits who turned their backs on Ode to Joy. So shameful. They were showing even less respect for themselves by saying ‘No’ to Brother and Sisterhood, to life and to love. . Such contemptible oxygen thieves. So sad...
No, they were saying no the European Union. They shouldn't have been there because we should have left before this election.
United States of Europe Is here. Why else would they need their own flag, anthem and parliament.
EU isn’t forced, there where referendums and the parliament is chosen by the EU citizens, trought national elections.
"Why would they need their own flag"
You don't need to think of it as a flag. More like a Logo. You could say "Why would Apple need a flag?" It's not a flag. It's a Logo.
"Anthem" Again, you could think of it just like a song they like.
"and parliament" That was there from the beggining. That is why countries join the EU. For the parliament and it's benefits.
@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus Please buy some history books. First of there are many states who where sort of forced in the US trough conquest. Like former parts of Mexico. In the EU every country voted to join himself, the EU has no military so it cannot force countries to join. Every country has the freedom to leave if they want.
@Marcus-Aerilius Maximus Maybe you should start to read some things, before insulting people. And maybe do not use Marcus Aurelius, as your name, if you cannot even decently behave like him.

England and France where the ones that caused the most deaths through their uncountable wars and if England never existed, West Europe would probably be dominated by France, so there wouldn't even have been any World Wars. And don't even get me started on why the Soviet Union, a country that did so many war crimes, really doesn't need to be praised.
I'm quite shocked that I actually need to explain this...
@@AD-vr1io and if the UK hadn't existed then USA wouldn't either so Germany would've won the first world war. Hitler wouldn't have gotten any support since there was no need for revenge and there wouldn't have been a second world war.
Actually a disgrace to global democracy and peace. These people not only represent millions of citizens of EU but also show to world leaders outside the EU that this behaviour is acceptable. It makes me absolutely disgusted that nationalism and sovereignty is held at such a high regard in UK.

1:26 1. The EU is not a country and shouldn't have an anthem. 2. Why should BP respect its anthem, they have a right to protest.
He is just saying that in the same way it's disrespectful to not stand for another country's anthem whether or not you disagree with them, the same applies to the EU
So that means other people now have the right to disrespect the anthem of the UK? And also turn their back towards it?!
Even if people disagree with a country or the EU, it's highly disrespectful to turn the their backs on a national anthem, especially if you are a guest there.
@Gabriel That's something completely different. I would also turn my back for the old parts of our national anthem. And even if the EU isn't a country it's still highly disrespectful.
@Gabriel The USA did that long ago and you still be respectful for its anthem.
@Gabriel I'm referring to the day, when the American states became the USA

@Viz Sorry I triggered you.
I am not a remainer btw b/c I'm not british.
I feel sorry for Brits who voted remain, especially those in poverty, who now will be worse off.
But I think in the long term it's probably better for the EU if the UK leaves.
Also, due to the free-falling pound there are already fewer drunken english tourists / stag parties where I live - so that's a bonus.

Nope, completely justifiable. The EU is not a country so their anthem does not deserve the same level of respect.
@stefanjager4131 Germany is in recession, the UK is not. If anything Germany is more likely to collapse (like they did in 1945)
The British meps were very disrespectful of the anthem of the EU. In my way of thinking they are behaving very childishly.The UK I used to respect, but this nonsense is ridiculous. Out of the EU UK will either. They would be outraged if other EU members reacted the same way as this group of British members to the singing of God save the Queen. Somehow I think they have more class than that. As a Canadian and member of the Commonwealth, I am ashamed at this childless.
The conservatives of Britain and the Brexiteers are making a once great nation look like a third world bunch of hypocrites. JOhnson will not keep his promises. He will lead with some help, the country to a dismal end. God keep the UK from his clutch for any length of time. It reminds me of a quote. "Lord forgive them for they know not what they do".

Why? The E U is a trade agreement - thats what we joined!
Even the G7 doesn’t have anthem. How ridiculous......
rosshilton I know. But you did not mentioned the Maastricht Treaty signed on 7th February 1992 which was agreed by the members of the ECC back then thus making them the member states of the European Union. Yes the EU has a flag and anthem but did that organisation forced the government to put the flag in government buildings and teach the people especially the schoolchildren the “Ode to Joy”? The anthem is simply a symbol of unity between *SOVEREIGN* member states. Yet the people against the EU criticise it when problems arises in any of the EU 27 as if they are the only one who decides what to do.
rosshilton rosshilton I wonder if the *”majority”* of the people would be still against the EU when the food standards get lower and the USA chlorinated chicken arrived. The UK is now going to be tax haven for rich tax evaders and money launderers. *Do we still hold all the cards against the EU?* I just realised the referendum took place on this day.
Kieran Henderson
Please don’t talk about tax havens and money laundering mate - take a look at Ireland with its illegal Double Irish tax system. Under Irish law a company can transfer its profits tax-free to the offshore company, where they can remain untaxed for years. ... If done right, there is no tax paid anywhere. The first Irish company now has all the money and can again send it onward to the company in the tax haven.
Or look at Germany where foreign investors are freed from the burden of taxes on interest in Germany. The country retains the privacy of account holders. Foreign income is exempt from taxation whether it is in the form of dividends from foreign subsidiaries or income earned in foreign branches. Corporations benefit from Germany's tax environment as only 5% of dividends and capital gains have taxes levied against them. These classes of income are considered nondeductible operating expenditures according to German accounting standards.
Or look at Luxembourg where dividends of many companies are not taxed. Long-term capital gains on stocks are tax-exempt if a majority share is 10% or more is not held. By placing segments of business entities in Luxembourg, corporations worldwide have been able to cut huge tax bills from their expenses.
Luxembourg has become so notable for its tax laws that much of the country's attractiveness for outside businesses are owed exclusively to these features, and Luxembourg's economy is partially built around the business gained from its tax structure.
Luxembourg is also a global centre for money laundering - but they refuse to control it.
Happy to prove all of the above form EU reports and documents.
Let’s not use tax avoidance as an argument shall we......
