#Brexit #Scotland #EU
From Ireland, we look across at our Scottish neighbours, scratching our heads at why-oh-why more proud Scots are not clamouring to escape the deadweight of Westminster.
They’re the only country in history to vote against their own independence. They say it’s because they were told they couldn’t be in the EU but now that they’ve been dragged out of Europe against their wishes, the polls don’t show that they would vote for their independence now either. And they want Ed to keep the pound and the Queen for some reason.
I used to feel sorry for them but if they want their independence so little, they don’t deserve it.
Believe me as an Indy voter there’s a lot of us who feel the same
The thing is, Scotland voted by 62% to remain in the EU, we knew what the EU did for us, the campaign was built on lies and that it was going to be an utter disaster.
what about the 38% that + the total of the whole kingdom are you saying that your little majority should over rule the the total majority and are you selling your soul just so u can have more money ? i know the price for the exodus 40 years in the wilderness then the promisland rather then being enslaved to the Eu and becoming a lapdog the reason why the uk isnt doing brexit properly is 1 the eu is punishing us 2 there are people who think going back to egypt and be enslaved is better 3 we are not in one mind in how to formulat the future of this kindom but if u think going back is good just wait till w w 3 happens
@@akaabbs259 So you are ignoring the 48% in the UK that voted remain. Hypocrite.
@@BrokenBackMountains ? i dont think u understand the word hypocrite very well think about it and clearly state why
@@akaabbs259 You are pleading for the 38% who voted Leave with your whataboutery. I don't see you pleading for the 48% who voted remain across the UK.
Well?
@@BrokenBackMountains xD im not, I am pleading for the kindom to stay intact from separatist a "kindom divided cannot stand" Mark 3:24 the point is as a fellow adopted scott im saying we dont look at the small vote look at the whole vote we didnt vote as a nation we voted as a Kindom ( with many nations in it ) brexit is painful but i see the future far from now is going to be Glorious
People wanted to believe the lies...like Americans with Trump
Crying remoaner spotted
You must have been one of those liberals that blindly believed Biden was in perfect health as well. Wake up to reality. The country that voted to leave the EU. Good plan.
Not in the least surprising, but still sad to hear.
It's not the "Scottish Nationalist Party" it's the Scottish National Party.
But it is nationalist
@@Aragornofmoria Not necessarily. Nationalist and national are related but nationalist has a specific meaning. Scotland wants integration with Europe. England is more nationalist than Scotland that way. Germanic people have always had fascist tendencies with a superiority complex. Further The Scots and Irish are more related to the Gallic people of France than the Anglo-Saxons. The Frankish people of Northern and Eastern France are related to the Angles but Western France, central France and even Bavaria are Gallic and hence Celtic like the Scots.
What's the practical difference?
@@TemplarX2The Gallic aren't the Franks and the Scots aren't more closely related to the French than the English, but they are more closely related to the Irish.
The Scottish and Irish animosity of the English is the result of centuries of warfare and oppression, which is why they became allies of France, because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
@@GonzoTehGreat One is the official name, the other is not.
Most of video I viewed about Brext, people who wanted Brexit most are usually effected most by Brexit
When you talk about the farmers and fishermen, very much so.
Not farmers are experienced in the winery. You see you knew too little, just relying on one media is like sticking with man made Agenda
Which helped to remind me not starting out an irresponsible blog just for the sake of . creating it. Helps remind to contextualize the scope of the unknown
And they were told before the vote!
brexshit
The fact of the matter is that Scotland was a European nation for far longer than it has been a British nation. Just go to places like Gdànsk or Gothenburg or Veere - places with huge long standing Scottish connections. Perhaps, culturally and even economically the EU was a better home for us,. Brexit and the UK has been an utter disaster for Scotland, especially its remoter communities.
I dont think this is true, but i get your sentiment. The UK is a fail state that refuses to acknowledge it.
Now this is a very silly idea. Britain is still in Europe
@@Aragornofmoria I don't think you read what I said.
True! I’m from Gdansk and we have neighbourhoods that are named Szkoty (Nowe and Stare) meaning Scots after the Scottish settlers as well as Szkotowo. Additionally, even though I’m almost entirely Slavic I have a random 2% Scottish genes that I initially couldn’t figure out where they came from. Now I think that at some point the Scottish settlers simply mixed with my Polish ancestors and here I am 😀
There's also a working Scottish church in Rotterdam from pre union times
Well now UK can hire people from Asia, as they did not wanted Europeans...
Scotland need to be free
Scotland had its chance in 2014. Now Scotland 🏴 is slaves to England and they voted to keep it that way 😂😂😂
Freedom for Scotland and Ireland
Not sure if Ireland wants Northern Ireland at the moment.
@@katarn999we always have.
Every poll shows that.
@@ClannCholmainI recently talked to an Irish colleague about this. He basically said „it‘s complicated“.
But I guess the main problem is that the UK doesn’t want to let go of Northern Ireland.
Anyway, best of luck for both Scotland and Ireland as a whole!
Ireland is free since 1922
@@ClannCholmainevery poll?
Including all the polls in Northern Ireland? Because both Ireland and Northern Ireland must want a united Ireland.
Right now a referendum would fail.
"Sing me a song for a deal that has gone wrong"

It's still hard for me to figure out exactly what happened with Brexit. As an Eastern European at one point, I decided to follow the analyzes and comments from our part of Europe- all analysts were of the opinion that the UK had some plan, but no one could say exactly what was the plan :)))). Even today It is still difficult for me to accept that there may be no plan :))) and everything was a brutal misinformation campaign. Everything about Brexit makes no sense from the distance of time.
The plan was to avoid EU tax evasion laws.
@@markwilkie3677 exactly
Right.
Lets be blunt: Most Brexiteers (the ones in politics that sold it to voters) didn't genuinely expect it would happen. They acted opportunistically to get perceived short term political benefit from what was thought to be a large (but not majority) segment of brain dead UK voters, and end up with burnished political credentials for "fighting the good fight" against the EU, but ultimately "lose" the fight and still benefit from being in the EU.
Nobody thought that the segment of brain dead UK voters would actually be a majority in the referendum - not even most Brexiteers. This is why, post referendum, the Brexiteers were totally lost on what to do - even on the most basic question of what Brexit would look like. They were planning on celebrating with a stronger political position without crossing the brink. Instead, voters played along with the game of chicken and thought it would be a great idea to hit the accelerator and drive right off the cliff.
Anyone who believed that they would be better off by leaving the largest single market right at your doorstep in order to sell to a patchwork of countries half way around the world, is a fool.
Hopefully it is a warning for right populists, that an exit out of the EU is not benifitial
You mean, hopefully its a wake up call, for all people, that once most of the EU disintegrates we can all regain power over our trade. The only reason its not benificial, is because the EU actively makes it more difficult for non EU member states to trade. Its not because of NOT being in the EU, its because the EU bullies you to join, financially.
I hope so too, since this is a German public broadcast maybe it’ll reach some AfD (far-right wing and sometimes anti-EU) voters.
Well, you don't hear much about Grexit, Dexit and the like these days. So at least some came away with a different view.
Unfortunately in the hetherlanuds thhe annti EU sentiment is growinc cfvey are faling for the same lies the UK did and i really worry about the future @@uzul42
@sankaplays3098 that couldn't be further from the truth.
EU has been great for the trade and for the environment and to push tech giants like Google, apple and many others not to force their way on us.
Scotland must break from England like Ireland did. The Brits have their own agenda which rarely works for the rest of the “Uk”
'Rarely works' - apologies for industrialisation and the empire which made all of Britain what it is today
@markwilkie3677 you utter muppet. How can you deny the benefits of Britain and all it has done for three centuries. Your response is no acknowledgement just Scotland did these great things, so therefore we are best, no one else did anything, and now I'm gonna fold my arms and sneer. Nationalism is so awful because all the nationalists can do is think how great they are and how much they hate other people who they perceive to have done them wrong, forgetting we all are human.
Uk is not united anymore
Massive migration seems to be a top Acceleration hands down
@@ssuwandi3240 The UK is not united because the devolved nations are treated with contempt by Westminster.
*WARNING* Xenophobia can seriously damage your economy.
Another case for Scottish independence.
We made the mistake so you don't have to, it's been a valuable lesson for all.
There is a lot of unemployment and poverty in Northern England. Why aren't those people taking up summer jobs in Scotland during the holiday season?
Because they dont want to work for poverty wages unlike the people from eastern europe
Due to pay
The benefits system isn't flexible enough
Well spoken 😊
@@hotoneten4655 I really like how you always comment on matters like this
Hopping to export commodity to Indo-Pacific instead of the closer and richer European continent. What a fairy tale
Brexit in essence: Let's not co-operate with our neighbours!
Brexit mess
Independent Scotland
The fishing sector seems to be full of empty shells.
"the bosses from upstairs" wanted to get out of the Eu. In my opinion, brexit was never about the people's needs.
People are so easy to be manipulated.
Have another referendum!
As an American living in the EU, I can say that from all the people I have talked to about Brexit, we all say, good ridden to bad rubbish with respect to England leaving, but there is nary a person who would not love for an independent to join the EU. Everyone on the mainland loves Scotland while most people find the Brits a bunch of self loving racists.
Cant they just reBrenter?
nigel farage is like the village stupidly following a great charlatan
Short and sweet report, captures the essence of the problems faced in the UK following the absurd decision to Brexit.
"Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least last 500 years: to create a disunited europe. You should divide and rule"--《Yes, minster》from Britain TV. That's what the British say. Youknow, only supermarkets/public toilets make it easy for others to come and go😅😅😅
And to think England still has money(billions) to give to other countries (Israel) yet failures of Brexit are going to destroy Scotland and others no doubt
so why is Scotland still British and rather not break away and join the EU?
@@al28854 Because there is no mechanism for their partners in union to escape. We will inevitably end up in international courts, as Scotland's land and maritime territory constitutes almost two thirds of the entire UK.
This is largely due to our huge EEZ of 462,000Km2 of North sea and Atlantic ocean.
Every drop of UK oil, and the majority of UK`s renewable energy potential lies within Scottish territory, and 5.5 million inhabitants.
England exit, Scotland stay.
I really hope that if Scotland ever chooses to break away from the UK, they will be able to join the EU. I don't see why the Scots should have to endure being isolated just because Wales and England want to.
Scottish salmon, which we have always had, no longer arrives in Italy, now only Norwegian salmon.
It’s the same parts of ocean. It’s the same fish.
@@user-bt5ns2nc9x
i would guess the Norwegian waters have less poo in it?
Westminster passing a law saying the water is clean and dont need to be checked wont do for me, ty
I didn't realise that the Salmon had a nationality but now you've mentioned it, Norway isn't in the EU, either.
@@Ooze-cl5txIts England who have a dysfunctional sewerage system due to privatising it.
You might also want to consider that most of Scotland is nearer Norway than southern England, hence most of the coast from NW France to Denmark is nearer to English sewage than we are here in Scotland.
Id personally laugh my head off if the EU was to take action over the environmental damage to their waters.
@@JustTakeAMomentbut Norway does have unrestricted free trade with the EU, so significantly easier for them to sell to the EU
A McDisasterrr. We all tried to tell you
Unfortunately even if Scotland became independent there is no guarantee they'd be allowed back into the EU. They would be a very small nation, or member state, with a comparatively weak and vulnerable economy, and even though I'm sure the EU would be sympathetic to their cause, the practicalities of joining might prove difficult to achieve. Brexit was borne from fantasies, prejudices and lies and the only events that have harmed the UK more, at least in recent times, are the world wars.
As a man from Europe, i think usa and India are largest investor and employer in UK
Like other G7 countries and the EU, the largest employer and investor in the UK is the British government. That includes the Bank of England and NHS.
Free scotland from uk
Yet most of Scotland is away to vote Labour in the next election now. I'm not sure how they see that panning out. We deserve everything coming our we tbh.
superiority complex 💀🤣
Scotland 🏴 had its chance for independence from England in 2014. The Scottish people decided to vote down leaving because they were afraid of losing their membership in the EU. Congratulations you are still out of the EU.
The majority of Scots did vote for independence (reported in the Times two weeks after the referendum). The English who live in Scotland tipped the balance by predominately voting NO. Something like 86% of English voted No, 58% of Scots voted Yes. There you have it. They also bring high house prices in the scenic areas they flock to and most also vote Tory…
@@kevingray5646 Are you talking about the Brexit vote or Scotland vote to leave the UK 🇬🇧. Because a lot of Scottish people voted against leaving the UK because of fear of struggling with their own independence.
Four years after Brexit, the British are still waiting for the benefits.
"now we have to rely on Westminster handouts" where as before we relied on EU handouts? here's a thought don't rely on any hand outs! if your business isn't working get a new business like the rest of us have to
People thinking they can remove themselves from problems that know no borders. People will walk, swim, or fly if they can get to a better place.
Great report, but it's the Scottish NATIONAL Party. 👍
Brexit wasn't planned, that was clear. The government all expected to just carry on as normal, part of the EU. No one expected the leave camp to win.
Michel Barnier had expected David Davies to turn up to talks with a clear plan on their vision for Brexit but he turned up to talks with nothing, literally nothing.
You must always have a plan, this is common sense.
Yep one of the top negotiators in the world versus a man whose only claim to fame was that he once was a member of the SAS reserve..... what could possibly go right for the UK.
…brits overestimated their value within eu.
These aren’t Brits they’re Scots
Little Englanders not brits
@@34547 The official designation for a citizen of the United Kingdom is "British citizen".
Scots are citizens of the United Kingdom. In the most dumbed down, simple way: Scots are BRITISH.
@@Nice0n3 Well that's factually correct but it was little Englanders that dragged us out of EU.
@militant_pacifistNot meaning to be pedantic, but there are around 100 inhabited islands in Scotland......
I was in Scotland a week ago. Heard the same thing on labor shortages and local business slowing down.

BRITONS, please ENJOY your BREXIT
Scotland needs independence, not to have decisions forced upon it.
Leave the UK…..
100%
Not that easy after the law Westminster (English) passed to prevent a second election deeming it illegal.
Maybe UK should have another vote
Sorry 🏴🇨🇦
what a charming place.
Import the fish we eat. Export the fish we catch. I know let’s put up trade barriers.
Ironic cutting off your main market and then suffering because of it.
If the French can re-enter nato, the Brits can rejoin the eu. This time though… we have this currency union going on. Would be a good security to get them in there. None the less we belong together.
Independence is desperately needed
Yeah blame Westminster blame the Tories blame Brexit same old snp
Says the man who still believes the Tories lies, gimmicks and excuses even after 14 years.
Britain is an island nation which prefers to remain isolated and departed from EU.
Try coming to Scotland and tell someone that....
Time for another Independence Referendum.

Imagine how it is for small countries like my own, New Zealand, who have not had subsidies for some 45 years and even then the subsidies here very small. We have to become damn efficient at everything and go "cap in hand" to find our markets. Subsidies are so bad for a country economically as it stifles efficiency and innovation.
And now imagine if you had all the advantages you don't have and you voted to give them up - to make yourself poorer!

They knew what they were voting for in EU referendum
Scotland didn't vote for Brexit. It was majority remain in every Scottish polling region.
But Scotland didn't vote to leave the EU, Scotland voted by 62% to remain. This was true in every region of the country. This is why Scotland is so pissed off by Brexit

The irony that this news story is televised on Deutsche Wellle is humorous.
Did you say promise? We all know that politicians are pretty close to preachers, all about faith, not concrete reality.
The European Commission Brussels, since the UK left the EU has tried to inflict as much damage to the UK economy as possible to prevent other EU nations from leaving the EU Block!
At this point now all you are doing is putting your ignorance on display. You have been provided with all the evidence that you are being treated the same as every other third country. If you are not able to take that in that is on you.
The problem isn't Brexit, the problem is that nearly every politician has tried to thwart it.
I feel sorry for anyone that did not vote for Brexit but things will only get worse the more people vote for right wingers. It always ends up with the better off getting lower taxes and the working class handed the bill.
The entire United Kingdom is suffering as a result of Brexit. Instead of voting Yes on Brexit, the UK should have stayed in the European Union and defied Brussels over issues that it found unacceptable. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater was a huge mistake!
Not for the EU
Ah well, there is always the dimwith who does not bother reading the rules and come up with a cunning plan - NOT.
Fishermen who known nothing about economics voting to leave EU thinking it's better for them.. how wise..
Most inshore fishermen in Scotland voted remain. The trawlermen on the East coast were the leavers.
Just because the fishermen in England voted leave doesn't mean Scotland was the same. Scotland voted remain.
