Incredibly STUPID Comments from Deluded Brexiteers

- Brexit has been a disaster for the UK and yet there are still plenty of people who argue that it was the right thing to do despite all of the evidence showing that it has damaged the #ukeconomy as well as the UK's reputation in the world.
In this video I read out some of the #comments made to my last week's video in which I criticised #brexit . The comments are from people who still support Brexit and believe it was a good thing for the UK. Many claim that Brexit has not been completed and that we are still in the #.EU. Others claim that the EU is corrupt and determined to punish the UK for leaving.
No one wants to say it out loud, but Brexit was actually a national IQ test.
Combine this with the Dunning Kruger effect...
By definition, 50% of the population has lower than median intelligence.
And a gullibility, racism and bigotry test.

Brexit has been an outstanding success, it has led to doubters realising how their lives are better and economically sound. I’m speaking as a citizen of the EU and we now, seeing the catastrophic effects of not being in the EU, can thank the UK for choosing Brexit. Thank you.
Brexit has been an outstanding success for the UK elite, as well! Sabotaging the middle and working classes has made them billions! And to think, they convinced the poor, delusional fools to vote for it themselves!
please think of us in Scotland we are stuck in this and are ignored
@@grahamforrester3833 not completely, some in North East England are listening.
@@grahamforrester3833 please leave the UK. My wife’s dad was Glaswegian and we would love to relocate to a country that actually gives a damn about its citizens. I love Scotland.
I listened to all the negative comments about the EU. I’m an Irishman, I want to state my nationality so as to avoid confusion. I have come to the opinion that the majority of Brexiteers do not understand the meaning of the word sovereignty. In Ireland we are sovereign for slightly over one hundred years. We understand the meaning of the word because we were a subjected people. Subjected by a horrible ruthless colonial power that stopped at nothing to achieve its objectives. The EU is not organised or run in the same way.
It amazes me the amount of ignorance portrayed by British people when it comes to how the EU is run efficiently. I sometimes wonder if this intense hatred is merely based on hatred for everything European and it’s people.
That's the irony, of course, the victimhood narrative when the UK was rather known for removing soveriegnty from other countries.
I wonder how much is projection: the UK is a union where one country dictates to the others, so they assume the EU must be the same or they're afraid it will become that.
Or maybe they are upset EU countries won't act like countries in the Empire, and ainstead answer back and quote the rulles at them. Maybe their idea of "Soverignty" is "Other countries do what we tell them", so being treated as an equal feels like a loss of sovereignty.
@@Korschtal At least the English ladies just won in 'soccer, just. Playing Oz in the semis - that'll be interesting. England v English Emigrants.
It's not really about sovereignty, it's about what gives people the right to have sovereignty. What gives Britain the right to sovereignty is the same thing that gives it the right to colonise other countries, such as Ireland, and to deny them their own sovereignty. It also makes membership of the EU beneath Britain. Britain was the first country to industrialise, which enabled it to establish a lead and become the world's pre-eminent power. But it was inevitable that Britain would go into relative decline as other countries caught up. Or so the rational argument goes. For some, the reason Britain is no longer a global superpower is because it's being held back. There is a whole list of things holding it back, such as EU regulations, the civil service, the London liberal elite, Remainers and so on. Recently political leaders have moved to the top of the list. The same politicians who supported the cause because, among other things, they went to a boarding designed to prepare its pupils for the administration of the Empire. Sweet irony. Those vain people cannot never accept they were in over their heads, so the list keeps growing endlessly with stupid additions.
@@crimsonx3650 I appreciate you're being slightly sarcastic, but I can also see how attractive this could appear.
One evening years ago when I worked in Guernsey, Channel Islands. I was in digs on Route de Cobo. There were two other gentlemen in digs with me. One was a telephone engineer and the other a store manager. Both were extremely nice gentlemen.
One evening we were having a debate about the UK and Ireland joining the Common Market. A lot of interesting points were expressed, some by good points and some negative points, but I can never forget the conclusion of the debate. The telephone concluded by saying < everyone south of Calais is a wog >
Corrupt
Wasn't it R. Murdoch who said he didn't like the EU because if he went to the British government they did wat he wanted and the EU refused.
One Brexit benefit! When the UK left, corruption in the EU declined.
Any source, figures or stats to back up your claim please?
Not a truer word said, I just love it
@@xtc2vA lazy fisheries minister being paid for never being there?
The fact that EU corruption is investigated, widely publicised & addressed in the courts is strongly contrasted with the mainstream silence relating to gross & widespread corruption in the UK which is not adequately investigated or addressed in the courts of law that are still open in the UK - many of which, like police stations, have been closed.
I am over eighty years old and am a WWII baby and spent all of my working life in Business, some years dealing in world markets and all being affected by them. I consider Brexit to be the most economic and social disaster to happen to our country since then. Keep up the good work Michael and thanks.

@@shaucha-vv1xe How do you surmise that? I don't think anything abusive can be inferred from that comment!
Recently, I simply left the room in exasperation when a lady friend of my wife declared she'd voted for Brexit because "Someone needs to stop all the foreigners coming in!"
I asked what foreigners? From where and why?
I was told "They're ALL the same!"
I live in a small town. We have two immigrant familes liviing here - with completely different national origins. Both manage shops that might have been gone by now, and been sorely missed. Both more of an asset to our community than most workshy locals.
Brexiteers aren't just wrong - imho they're certifiable.
Origins of "white supremacy " .... so sad !! Thank you "English" for the origins of white supremacy in your country and in mine.... USA.... except we do not sweep it under the rug and pretend it does not exist .... unlike the "proper English"....
do you remember the media when the vote was going on..... og the irony of little englanders who lived in Spain as foriegn immigrants " coming back over to vote against free moment and when asked why, the owd coffin dodgers from 1950 said "to stop foreigners coming into the UK and taking houses and jobs of british people"
And when it was pointed out to them that they were going into another country as foriegners and living in houses that should have gone to the Spanish/French etc the 75 year old little englander racist coffin dodgers said... "Oh not, we arent immigrants, we're white and british" And since then they have been turfed out by their thousands and told to "go back where you come from" oh the irony. even funnier, Brexshit voters queuing at the airport with the British passports designed in France and manufactered in Poland complaining about the two hour wait to be processed and saying "This is rediculous. It never used to be like this"
No mate, we used to be in the EU.
Those people saying Brexit's not a success because we didn't Brexit hard enough are the equivalent of an osteopath looking at someone's broken leg and saying "Nurse pass me a sledgehammer, we'll soon get you up on your feet again".
It's depressing that those people actually get to vote.
It's more depressing to realise their vote is worth the same as yours or mine 🤦♂️

It never ceases to amaze me how Remoaner who denigrate Brexiteers and call them 'mouth breathers'. Yet they themselves are so ignorant and badly educated that they haven't the slightest clue about how the EU dictatorship was formed or works. To be so arrogant and at the same time so ignorant, is truly astounding.
British head of state: not elected.
British House of Lords: not elected.
British cabinet: not elected; appointed and dismissed by ONE PERSON.
British prime minister: not elected to that office; elected as an MP by a few thousand people and then appointed by unelected head of state on the basis of number of MPs; or, more recently, simply chosen by a mere handful of Tory party members
Whitehall bureaucracy (four times the size of that in Brussels which serves eight times as many people): not elected.
*Such a nation will kindly spare the rest of the world **_yet another_** lecture on "democracy". Thank you.*
The EU Commission has power, but the average person has no say in who represents them. This makes it difficult for member nations to have individual control as each nation is required to follow EU laws to remain with the Union. A socialist set up which the UK does not need!
Correct, it is one of the least democratic countries in the world.
On top of that it is exceptionally sectarian:
Bishops of the Church of England sit in the House of Lords
It is illegal for a Catholic to be Prime Minister.
@@pmarsh3700Liar. What about the European Parliament, elected by all citizens using proportional representation? What about the veto individual member states have?
@@PanglossDr No need to get personal and use insults. As the Commission is the executive branch, candidates are chosen individually by the 27 national governments. Within the EU, the legitimacy of the Commission is mainly drawn from the vote of approval that is required from the European Parliament. Just making this point on facts, not lies!
By the same standards as you've judged our system of government:
The only part of the EU system of government that is elected is the EU Parliament, and each MEP has less power than any elected MP in our Parliament. So we are by your own metric more democratic than the EU.

The stupidity of some people is simply mind numbing. Please keep on doing what you are doing.
It's hard to believe that people like this walk among us....
They are not hard to spot,their knuckles drag along the ground.
I emigrated to the Uk a few years ago, but now I'm seriously planning to move outside of the uK. The Uk is not the great country it was once I'm sorry to say, I loved London but it's simply horrible now, overcrowded, super expensive, a few days ago I spent two hundred pounds to take my mother on a walk for two days. We didn't go to expensive restaurants, we bought coffes, some snack, drink and buses. rent is crazy high, incredibly polluted, noise everywhere, people are rude and selfish because no one has even 5 pounds to spend anymore and medical care doesn't exist. One of the biggest crisis I saw was in the decay of culture and theatre especially. Normal people cannot afford theatre anymore, and the quality of the shows has lower standards. I remember great theatre on Shakespeare and Opera which everyone could afford. All this is gone now, sorry to say. British people should start understanding that we came to the Uk before Brexit because it was a whealthy and interesting country to go. Now it's no anymore for me. By the way this feeling is not shared only by foreigners but my colleagues who are born here all agree that the situation is terrible. Only the people lucky enough not to have rent have a decent life, otherwise you basically live to pay rent and bills now.
You are so right, Britain is in a steep decline. Not sure who owns central London now (except you can be sure they're Tory mates), but they certainly don't live in it. Oligarchs pushed up property prices to such obscene levels which had repercussions on property ownership for the masses throughout the country. It is so sad.
If you can escape, do it as soon as possible. Wish I could!
As a European I never understood how anybody could be so stupid to vote for Brexit. The UK had a special status within the EU, one they'll never get back. Here in Europe we're long over Brexit, the UK used to stop or at least slow down a lot of the European legislation - they kinda terrorized us. The one thing that makes me chuckle a lot, is when Scotland wants to do a referendum about leaving the UK, all those right winged Brexiteers (believing they're better than other people, but are still living in Victorian times) protest and say the Scots can't do that. . . . .
This is a lie on many fronts.
The way the Scots have been bleating on over the past half decade, if the vote is given to England as well, the Scots would win their independence.
As for stupid!
are you so stupid you cannot see that the EU and UK are not compatible.
You have said yourself that the UK held the EU back
They had to have special status.
This was because the EU is not compatible with the UK.
Also, are their any Europeans here who do not think that the UK has a superiority complex, that they are a bunch of entitled brats and like to see the UK put in its rightful place as little England?
Let us see how many Europeans reply
@MacBratt says
"when Scotland wants to do a referendum about leaving the UK, all those right winged Brexiteers (believing they're better than other people, but are still living in Victorian times) protest and say the Scots can't do that. . . . ."
They had a vote you dumb@ss.
On the 18Dec2014, the Scots voted and 55.7% wished to remain with the UK.
The EU is no longer about trade.
It is now political.
They wish to be a united states of Europe and that is something the UK do not wish to be a part of.
I personally believe in small politics and big trade so I believe the Scots should have their independence.
It is the majority of Scottish, who wish to stay united to the UK.
I am not sure what will happen to the Monarchy though as they are more Scottish than Anglo-Saxon, though I hope we do get to keep them as I see many benefits of having a Royal family.
Yeah, Brexiteers claiming that Brussels is a dictatorship, but dictating the Scots to stay in an union. Ridiculous.
@@BikersDoItSittingDownwhy UK and EU are not compatible?

I have not heard anyone in the UK say this other than comedians when we have a good laugh at ourselves.
It is a comedy stereotype in the UK.
In case you haven't noticed, we changed the "Empire" into a commonwealth where all nations are equal.
This commonwealth has nations joining it that were never part of the Empire, but you keep sprouting your nonsense if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
These people cannot seem to accept the fact that something that is intrinsically negative can never become positive.
In my day to life, I genuinely cannot think of a single meaningful drawback of being an EU member. What planet are these people living on?
They've gone bendy bananas.
I'm very much in favor of my country being in the EU but the idea that there isn't a "single meaningful drawback" is just nonsense.
The EU is all about compromise and swings and roundabouts.
Overall everyone benefits.
They are all xenophobes.
The Brexit Referendum should never have been passed, all over a Public School Boy squabble in the Conservatives.
Hello Michael, I presume we are of a similar age (I am 74) and as such we have seen the comings and goings of many governments in those years. I am working class background and proud of it.Why do so many people believe we are as a nation so superior and unique. Not true.we are possibly the most mongrel nation on earth, being made up of people from that many different nations is ( Romans French Saxons etc.The point is that since WWII we have been at peace with EU nations with a freedom of movement access to produce outlets for selling our produce access to a workforce who were willing to do jobs that not of us want do and making harder to work and travel abroad.

Sad sad sad .. most of these people have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. I used to live in the UK, for nearly 15 years actually, and I got my uni degree there too and I worked as a self-employed IT professional for over 7 years - before we left UK, and I must honestly say I and my wife too, we contributed to the UK economy a lot (I honestly think even more than some of these people making such ridiculous and stupid stupid comments and claims), we were part of the local community and never had any issue with "not fitting in" - we had British and other friends, we had lifes and we loved UK, and we felt more and more at home by every passing week, month and year, until that silly and utterly stupid Brexit came - then we started to see the polarised society and suddenly we started to feel less and less welcomed. I still love UK and I'm really sad its not my home anymore, but the other thing that breaks me is that my friends in the UK (British and non-british) now have to live with the consequences of Brexit despite them never wanting for it to actually happen, nevermind us and bringing us to finally decide to leave. And one very common knowledge, please forgive me if I sound politically incorrect or anything similar, is that for example central-Europeans (like myself) are widely known for many times being more hardworking and sometimes even nicer to be around than many British, especially those who only moan all day about this and that, but are too lazy to actually for example do any jobs at all to contribute to their own economy. Me, for example, not many people could ever claim I was stealing their jobs, because my job has for years been highly specialised and professional, and I had to be creating my own opportunities with my clients, proving over and over I was worth my clients` trust and money, yet I would on occassion listen to moaners talking about how I was stealing their jobs (that was them assuming I wasn't good enough for anything). The truth is, when I was studying for my IT degree in the UK, I was the only foreigner in the entire year, and at the end of the several years I studied I actually came on top of all of them with the best results in majority of the subjects we had. Sad sad sad. All I ever wanted, and my family, is to be treated with at least the same respect as anyone else living a proper life and contributing to the society and economy, not trying to enforce my way of living or thinking onto anyone. Just sad

I very much enjoyed this. Thank you. I’m not British, and live in the U.S., but I never understood why a kingdom would want to leave a huge free trade zone like the EU. It has long been argued by economists that the reason the U.S. has had such long term economic success is because it is a huge free trade zone. Unfortunately in the current day, a large group of people have been left behind by modern western economic success. I believe that’s what has given us MAGA and Brexit, as misguided as they are. A fissure has been exploited by politicians whose motivation has nothing to do with improving the lives of their adherents, and everything to do with gaining as much personal power as possible.
Spot on !
I am British and live in USA and yes, Brexit, is and will continue to be a disaster. And yes, I think there is a lot in common between Brexiteers and the MAGA crowd. It is incredibly sad and frustrating!
The EU is not a trade free zone. The British tax payer had to pay billions to the EU instead of the companies who made the profits paying a tariff.
The reason Brexit happened is because an idiot politician called John Major signed an agreement to change from a trade agreement to a political union.
Like the USA, the UK has common law. Most countries in the EU have civil law.
It is obvious that the EU and UK were not compatible which is why the UK wanted many exemptions.
This is not fair on the EU.
The pro-EU voters love gloating in places like this, wishing Brexit to fail in a hope that they can go back to their cosy deals before the vote.
They are blind.

@@BikersDoItSittingDown You just reminded me. I need to make a shopping list today.
I'm from Italy-a beautiful country, but let's be honest, we've got our share of imperfections. Yet, despite our own issues, I'd never dare to pass judgment on England. For so many of us, England has long been a place we looked up to, almost mythical in its allure. Seeing what's been happening with Brexit truly gets to me. Watching Mr Farage in the European Parliament was a brutal sight. It felt like many in the UK were misinformed. It's such a shame because the UK had so much influence in the EU, contributing to some of its outstanding achievements, like bringing peace to Ireland and fostering open trade. And let's not forget the UK's unique position-access to both the Commonwealth and European markets. Such a massive advantage! But now, the missed opportunities weigh heavy. Brits have lost that easy freedom to move across Europe. Students can't easily tap into learning experiences in different countries. And the promises? They seem broken.
Fishermen feel abandoned, and numerous small businesses face hardships and jobs? They're scarce. And the strain on the health system is palpable. From the outside, it's like witnessing a scene from a George Orwell novel. Makes one wonder, who benefits from Brexit? It feels like only a select few are, while many are left grappling. Sure, Europe's not without its flaws. But with the UK actively participating, it could have been even better. Here's to hoping the UK finds its way forward. Yet, here I stand, an Italian, venturing forth into this dialogue perhaps unbidden. Forgive my presumption, for, in the immortal words of Shakespeare, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." I remain steadfast in my belief that open-hearted discourse transcends borders and bloodlines.
Bringing peace to Ireland? Are you mad? Britain was the cause of all the violence.
It was everyone else who brought Britain, finally, to agree a way to stop it.
I sincerely apologize for the mistake in my previous comment regarding the UK's role in Ireland. I realize that I oversimplified a very complex situation. However, I want to assure you that I am not mad; sometimes, unfortunately, words do not do justice to the complexity of historical situations.

The ignorance of Brexiteers is a national tragedy.
That's your opinion. .52%of people against your views...and your saying brexiteers are ignorant. ....you REMOANERS JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY..............................
@@Geraldine-uk9jo And you Geraldine, if nearly 60% of people wish to (re)join the EU, are you willing to deny them democracy ?
@@Geraldine-uk9jo which brexit did you vote for.
Britian not leaving the SM and CU as per Daniel hannon.
Was it to become a 3rd country and all the EU rules that need to be followed by 3rd countries.
Or was it the brexit were nothing would change as per david davis.
Or do you have your own version.
The Brexit I and 52% of the British population voted for was to severe all ties from the corrupt EU. and govern are own country by democratically elected MPs nothing wrong with that...if the vote had went the other way I would have accepted it .. unlike some who find it hard...
Geraldine has left the building....
These comments remind me of all the Brexitards who told me that they hoped I'd lose my job in an EU country as it was dependent on my holding EU citizenship. Well, I obtained a second, EU nationality and moved abroad to an EU member state. Life is bliss - didn't work out too well for the UK though, I hear.
Brexiteers seem to be listening to your posts.please keep up the good work .hopefully they will start thinking critically one day.
The critical thinking has already taken place.
This kind of thread is the current sales pitch for what should be an honest conversation about the UK being a fully fledged member of the EU and the benefits of the Euro etc.
You had 41 years as at 31st January 2020.
For balance, how was the UK doing in the middle of 1978? How did people feel about their decision to say 'yes' at that point in time?
Might be worth taking a critical look?
@@whome4876 well argued?
Watching from outside the UK, its hilarious, but tragic, listening to these comments.
52%, god help us. Your are a brave man Michael, reading that bilge out.
But Johnson said that he got Brexit done
Who is lying to us?
We all got 'done', except some zealots just don't see it yet....
As always - an excellent talk, Michael. Great to hear all the comments from (fantastic word) the 'ignorati' I may borrow it!
It seems that the deluded brexit voters, constantly making staggeringly ludicrous claims and spouting lies, NEVER, ever back them up with an iota of data. They merely rant with their usual high levels of illiteracy.
This is so sad and hilarious at the same time. Greetings from Bavaria.
Hi Michael, all of us poor thick deluded people are with you all the way. These idiots sit at home and take a day to decide how cruel they can be. They’re not comments, they’re ignorant tripe (spelt correctly) 😂
Michael, I consider these uploads as my weekend dose of rationality and respite from the crazies. Always entertaining to boot. Keep it up. Thank you.
@michaelduggan3 - Thanks Michael 😊
One of the most bizarre things I hear from Brexiters is how they justify Brexit on the grounds that the Eurozone is in a recession and that the UK is not and that the difference is solely down to leaving the EU. Now this is pretty thin claim at best - the Eurozone is JUST in a recession and the UK is barely not, but this is not my point here.
First they'll justify Brexit by saying that the troubles of the Eurozone are entirely down to EU incompetency - and NOTHING TO do with being next door to a war zone, has had the Russian gas supply cut off, has taken in MILLIONS of refugees and is being threatened with nuclear annihilation.
And then the problems faced by the UK ARE ENTIRELY down to the Ukraine situation, the reduced gas supply and the refugees crossing the channel and that it's not the fault of Brexit at all.
All this DESPITE being thousands of miles away from Ukraine, being energy independent (North Sea gas) and having taken in a TINY number of refugees from Ukraine.
The hypocrisy is stunning.
If it makes Brexit look bad then it's the fault of the Ukraine situation and Brexit cannot be held to blame ...
But if it makes the EU look bad (and by extension it makes Brexit look good) then it has nothing to do with the Ukraine situation and its ENTIRELY down to Brexit.
The whole Brexit idea has nothing to do with political thought, but purely based on emotions. The Brexit minded people are still stuck with "an island syndrome" from the glory days when England was still a "real" island. Not really, of course. England, like most of the rest, has not been self-sufficient in ages. Only difference is that communication used to come mainly from England and that has shifted to 'Brussels' in the Europe group.
Now that England has been ripped off from the rest, it falls back to the days before the Europe association.
Think of Europe as a 'cooperative society' that has been contracting for and with its members for years now with members and non-members.
England as a member gets out of it, in one fell swoop of course they also got out of those made contracts. The big difference; in the beginning England joined a small Europe group that was growing. Now England has got out and stands alone next to a very large group. What were the Brexitiers thinking, we get out of a very large group and we are Great Britain again?
How do those people feel about Ireland being one of the richest countries since being in the EU? It was so poor under British rule!
Ireland wasn't poor. The Irish were because Catholics were not allowed to own property and businesses.
For traded goods exported from the UK, Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪 is the 5th largest market (over 10 years), but also UK trade with ROI consistently provides a large surplus in favour of the UK, in fact typically ROI is the second largest , essentially there are only about 6/7 countries where the UK trade is in surplus. Data source HMRC.
Michael: Why should we let the Brits back into the EU with SUCH PEOPLE AROUND??? Seriously: So much stupidity in one country was last seen in Russia in 2023.
Sadly I understand your post but perhaps we will get a sensible honest government and we will hopefully apologise to our friends and neighbours.
I know this is "educationist" but it has often hit me how low is the educational level of those who support Brexshit. Rather sad actually, as they have been seriously duped and are not capable of thinking for themselves
we live in the real world
Oh, I see; I didn't realise that Brexit would have been wonderful if it had been done as advertised and/or done completely differently. I feel so silly.
Michael, I can't thank you enough for your weekly videos and updates. The way you expose the stupidity of these morons is absolutely genius 😂😂😂

It is a funny segment. I am not British but from Amsterdam. Nobody here is talking about Brexit already for a few years. We moved on to more important issues. But it amazes me that the stupidity of some people, in this case the brexiteers, can get lower and lower than I could even imagine. You cannot argue with idiots, but it is still amusing
I think you cloggies should stay quiet, your in recession now like the rest of the EU. Lmfao.
I keep picturing Monty Python characters saying these quotes... like the farmer who kept hoping for his sheep to fly.
Ironically, there are now (!) more immigrants than ever to the UK. Not so many from Europe but plenty e.g. from India and Nigeria.
Those like myself, with knowledge and experience of areas that would be impacted by Brexit (and those that took the time and trouble to do their homework) always knew that Brexit would be an unmitigated economic disaster - and so it has proven to be.”
There never has been (in any way, shape or form) any kind of plan for Brexit that could objectively be considered to be legitimate, rational, economically viable and logistically implementable that would not only impoverish the majority of UK citizens (while bankrupting many UK businesses) but also erode and remove many of the democratic rights & freedoms gained from Magna Carta (Runnymede, 15 June 1215) to 23rd June 2016.
The only difference between any of the so-called Brexit “plans” was the speed that they would become unmitigated disasters.
“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

‘This quote isn’t even mine’, George Washington, 1789
Yeah we certainly got fooled in 1975. To join that crap organisation, the EU.

@Girthon1 - Many thanks 😊
Whoever said "best to keep ones mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot then open it and remove all doubt" was lost on the Brexidiots that continually bump their gums and spew forth 💩
My grandad who was NO FOOL used to say "there is no fool like an old fool" Think I can revise it to "there is no fool like a BREXITEER" 😂
Please also point out that I, as a Brit Immigrant to France, thank you for paying my electricity bill.
When the price of energy went up, France put a cap on increases. The UK delayed and as EDF owns a large share of UK leckie YOU are playing my bills and profits go back to the French state for my pension. Think about that.
Those that fanned the flames to leave the EU had run out of the countries willing to buy up the UK within EU laws and so needed to get their pieces of silver from further afield. Brexit is not about self control, it is about expanding the sale of what is yours to a larger market. If aliens arrived tomorrow the same people would sell your children without batting an eyelid.

Not one of the people whose replies you read out had anything to substatiate Brexit.
They could only indulge in personal insults to you and to the EU countries.
I hope you can ignore them and not take their insults to heart.
They all seem to have an intellect on the level of 30p Lee Anderson, a person to be despised.
Keep at it Michael, and rattle the cages of these Brexiteers at every opportunity.
I think that the saying 'empty barrels make most noise' is very approriate in their case.
Dear Michael, in the Netherlands we have two sayings, don't feed pearls to the pigs and don't spent to much time on people that are too stupid to dance for the devil.
Dear Michael, perhaps I can help out here, by explaining what I think the Brexiteers mean when they claim that Brexit hasn't happened yet.
They mean the UK has not yet binned all EU legislation, "Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023" thereby removing law protecting safety at work, protection of the environment, basically undoing years of legislation largely beneficial to the UK and that the UK agreed to and helped put into place.
They mean the UK has not yet "deregulated" from EU norms and standards, thereby lowering the attractiveness of British goods and services to create an unregulated "Singapore" style black market economy.
They mean there is still no hard customs border between ROI and NI since Brexit will not be done until NI is out of the European Single Market and Customs Union, and so return to the days of the "troubles", violence and quasi war in Ireland.
They mean the UK has not seized the opportunities of the freedom to negotiate trade deals with countries around the world that would substantially improve upon the global trade arrangements we already had. As if the countries of the world are begging us to let us trade with them to their detriment. ("Us" means the British People).
They mean that the customs controls of goods arriving in the UK from the EU has not happened yet. A measure that Mogg said would be a measure of self-harm.
They mean that the UK has not yet taken advantage of its new freedom to stop all those nasty foreigners and immigrants and especially those nasty EU citizens from entering the country.
Only then will Brexit be fully complete, and the British people enter into Johnson's promised "Sunlit Uplands" with J.R.Mogg's "cheaper food, clothing and footwear". Since Farage has stated of the EU that "They need us more than we need them", The EU will be clamouring and begging us to come back to EU membership, but we will be firm and resolute, and proudly enjoy our Splendid Isolation.
(Of course, I am, myself, a Remainer as you can see from my sarcasm)
I think you give them too much credit. It's more "we were right. If none of the benefits we knew were going to happen haven't materialized is because we never left".
How on God’s earth did we get here, Michael?
The truth is so utterly depressing.
The frightening thing is that this is the best it will be in our lifetime…
I find it to be so ironic that those that are now so deeply critical of the EU’s attitude/regulations to 3rd party countries were once the very people that considered these regulations to be way too lax.
The biggest irony is that the country that, while in the EU, proposed the majority of those third country rules is now subject to them.
Very Baldwinic cunning plan.
Thank you Michael(my favourite analyst) .That was so funny but crazy at the same time.Just a pity these clowns are permitted to vote.
And there lies the true heart of Pro EU voters.
Not allowing anyone who disagrees with them to vote!
This is how the ideal Brexit x Brexiteers was sold: "UK citizens freely allowed to enter the EU and do what they liked; no tariffs or controls for goods/people going to the EU from the UK and vv unless, of course, decided only by the UK; no fishing at all in UK waters; no 'dirty foreigners' allowed in the UK unless their faces fitted; no money at all towards anything remotely aimed at the common good like science for example; any rules the UK wanted with no equivalence to the EU but total freedom to trade anywhere and with anyone." A bit like in colonial times... That's the dream... oh dear, pity we are in the 21st century now.
I applaud your fortitude wading through that plethora of abuse and abject stupidity. We were never asked which Brexit we would like we were given a choice leave or remain. The late Sean Lock correctly observed that it should have been 16 to 50 year olds that were given the referendum vote because it was their future. I was lucky having worked all over Europe a luxury that will be denied to this and future generations. Michael please keep up the good work and remember it's so much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they are being fooled.
The upper class determines how educated the lower class is. If you keep the lower class too stupid, the entire country will go under economically.

Please invite all of these silly brexit applauders(sic) to explain
Why brexit hasn't happened??? MY head has just exploded
Dear Michael, Thank you for your truths and clear messaging. We, as a nation, have brought ourselves to this awful, globally embarrassing pickle, and like a petulant teenager, refuse to admit that we have made a disastrous error; 'because we know best'. I suppose only time will winnow the hard of hearing and seeing of reality, and we will come to a point where a sensible, mature national psyche will emerge to try and remediate, if not reverse the damage, albeit slowly. Otherwise I'm afraid it's further down the suwannee, and deeper into tinpot dictatorship-led 4th world status. I want to keep on raging at what has become of our nation economically and our prestige and influence on the world stage, and I hope others will too rather than become punch-drunk and inured to the situation. Thank you again for keeping our brains ticking.
At what point did the English turn so simple?
I would suggest that the reason for the forcing of brexit on the UK, was to avoid the scrutiny by the EU on the increasing evidence of corruption bubbling to the surface within the British establishment and tory run government. Russian influence, Panama papers, and corporate lobbying. And of course tax evasion/avoidance.
@@seang2700 No really, I think it is a big part of why very rich people pushed for it which lead to the media supporting brexit on the right.
As for anti-EU sentiments, yes, they have always been there for various reasons; what changed is what the ultra-rich really wanted.
Anti-EU sentiments are there partly because of nationalism, xenophobia and because EU has been a very convenient scapegoat for politicians for a very long time whenever they implemented unpopular measures.
As for left wing brexiteers, it's short sighted and usually articulates around Bolkenstein, lobbying, protective rules not doing enough.
Bolkenstein makes some sense, the rest doesn't really.
Yes, there is a LOT of lobbying and some rules are very heavily impacted by it but EU rules in matter of protecting workers and environment and consumers are minimal rules: countries are free to do more. And, of course, a country really no longer follows EU regulations, Lobbying will intensify in that country. Lobbyists go where they need to go: if XX was to decide how our industry work and how workers are protected, they would lobby XX.
So yeah, those left wing brexiteers have always been there and they are part of the equation but brexit wouldn't have happened with them alone.
No it was simple xenophobia and little-englanderness.
You can lead a BREXITEER to the devistating facts about BREXIT, but you can't make him believe them.
Brexit is kind of a religion. You believe it or you don't.

Religion is based on faith in the absence of evidence, so strictly speaking, BREXIT isn't a religion, but it's definitely some kind of cult.

Hallo mr Lambert, maybe a idea for a new book, all the comments about Brexit. Greetings from the Netherlands.
@bertoverweel6588 - an excellent idea - thank you 😊
Great video Michael, of course the sadness of Brexit continues. The people who have made the contributions you have highlighted really need a new word, to describe their loss of independent thought. Brexieterees perhaps? The Brexiteers, the known architects and those less well known, were admittedly smart. They started laying their poison decades ago, and now here we are. The destroying and misleading of these rather sad, indeed pathetic, individuals, who crow on fuelled by the hatred and ignorance sown in their hearts: that is a genuine loss alongside all others, that is the reality of Brexit. For all of the reasons, the Brexiteers need to be indicted on charges of treason. They all knew what they were doing and they knew the full consequences. Wholesale destruction and impoverishment of the United Kingdom. If that doesn't fit the definition of treason, then there can be no definition of the word treason. As for the Brexiterees, I fear it may be too late. We also need a truth and reconciliation committee, so the full horror of the Brexit shit show can be aired. Truth is however, you can't argue with stupid, and for deluded stupid, there truly is no hope.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for continuing the good fight for literacy and against lunacy and cretinism.
These people absolutely deserve what is coming to them, the problem is they will take everyone down with them.

Thank you for improving my vocabulary, Michael.
I’ve lived and worked in Germany since 1981. I am retired since 2009 and, after the Brexit Referendum, have been granted German Citizenship. I’m so glad that I was intelligent enough to see the Folly of Brexit. However, I still have my British Citizenship which makes my Annual Visit to London in January to attend a School Reunion a lot easier at Border Controls. Ironically, the School was here in Germany and was for the Children of British Servicemen stationed here during the “Occupation” after WW2. I am very comfortable and happy and must add that if I was obliged to give up one of my Citizenships it would be the British one. I have 2 Sisters and one Daughter who are still in the UK.
Hi Michael. I was having a discussion regarding Brexit at work "I'm a bus driver" While i was saying the working class have been duped by Tory lies and false information, a driver passed our table and said "I'm not working class" I've been called a leftie and a sad loser by another colleague "he thinks it's a football match and that my side lost. I'm hoping to retire next year and live comfortably "I wish" The Brexiteers who believed in Boris's slogans and propaganda will have to work harder and with less rights that we have now. I worked on the buses during lockdown and never had the so called vaccine and never had a day off. The lad who called me a Corbynite Leftie has had the vaccines and been off work with Covid about 4 times. I was classed as vulnerable as i have heart disease but wasn't prepared to test a vaccine out as there's a company "Covance" that pays people to do that. Keep up the good work Michael and remember that an entire nation believed in a guy called AnDolph Rittler
Apparently I'm one of those dirty foreigners, but I learned at school about the EU (or European common market as it was - translated - called back then) and what I learned was that the government of every member state has to approve of the EU "laws" before they become effective. So when British people feel the EU has dictated their laws, blame your own government who has approved them. And besides that, the people who write those laws are elected in every member country and therefor also by people from the UK.
Greetings to you fellow dirty furiner
