My favorite Brexit moment was hearing about the woman in a London travel agency ranting at the employees about how she "voted for Brexit to keep foreigners out of Britain, not to make it harder for [her] to vacation in Spain". Could anything sum it up more perfectly than that?
my favourite moment was hearing all the banks and financial institutions who heaped decades of misery on the country in 2008 telling us it's in our best interests to vote remain. taking their advice on finances is like going to see Harold Shipman when you aren't feeling very well, or letting Jimmy Savile babysit your kids.

With inflation running at a four-decade high, a Recession is now the ‘most likely outcome for the economy. How can I grow my portfolio to outpace inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy? I have been reading of investors making about $250k profit in this current crashing market, and I need ideas on how to achieve similar profits.
You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a skilled practitioner.
@@MyName-cw4yr How much depends on the value of the item being ordered....your question is like asking how long is a piece of string? the simple point being made here is that it is now more expensive to order items from the UK and naive to suggest otherwise.
Same. I used to order stuff (privately) from UK to Sweden. Not anymore bc of changed regulations (can't order liquids like perfume from UK anymore) and the ridiculous import cost on everything.
I'm a Brit living in Germany since 2010 and I run a small business here. Before Brexit I would order materials from the U.K. , the prices were competitive and delivery was quick. Since Brexit, it no longer makes sense to order from the U.K. The prices are not as competitive but the most problematic part is that delivery is often delayed considerably, due to customs issues. I can't rely on receiving orders on time. This causes real problems for my business as I order materials for specific projects with tight deadlines. With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £600k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
That is everywhere. The problem is, with a rising labor shortage, that industry will be the hardest hit. Fundamentally, restaurants as an industry are only viable with cheap labor and cheap rent. Right now, we have neither.

@@CharliMorganMusic it's all about freedom fella. We here in the UK (not the bootlickers in this very comments section) understand that the EU is little more than an undemocratic protection racket. We left, despite the damage done, because it was the right thing to do. I'm glad we've left, the EU have shown their true colour time and time again by threatening smaller countries with sanctions if they step out of line. As Michael Caine said "it's better to be poor and free and not rich and enslaved".
It’s a real pity. I’m from Germany and would have loved to study in the UK. Now, it’s more expensive and bureaucratic. I wish the British the best and hope they will prosper again in the future. It damages us all collectively.

Being overseas myself, I have tried to conduct business with the UK (I'm originally from Wales) and have been faced with nonsense, negativity, lethargy and a reluctance to do business with anywhere other than in the UK.

It's simple, we used to be part of a 28 branch supermarket chain, buying cheap and being competitive. We then left that supermarket chain and decided we would be a corner shop, without realizing we would be buying in smaller amounts, and therefore having to charge higher prices, meaning lower sales. That is where we're at now.
Wrong, on every point. We weren’t buying cheap or being competitive. We sold all our competitive products to outside companies years ago. The prices aren’t high due to Brexit, they are high because of the incompetency of lockdowns. If we were only the Country with high prices you would have an argument but you don’t have a point because you believe something based on fiction, not reality.
But it is becoming clear that many of the Leavers are now having regrets. The trading arrangements for NI are looking more attractive for the rest of the UK. But how could we get there?
Well that's not true. They've just changed tack, not disappeared. Italy, Hungary, Poland all have anti EU governments. France just took Macron's ability to govern properly by putting more anti EU politicians in the French Parliament. Germany has been doing it's own thing with little regard for the rest of the Europe, and will continue to do so. What's now happening is that the Anti EU parties are instead calling for a "Union of Nations", something more like the old EEC. Where the Nation State comes above Brussels. Europe is not America, there is no foundation story binding all states together. There is no financial union where debt burdens are shared - the proportionately tiny (when compared to the UK and America) Covid recovery fund, still hasn't been paid to many member states. What Brexit has actually done is show that European countries don't want an "American style" union, but neither do they just want a basic trade deal. Perhaps Europeans should wind back the project to the last time everyone was actually happy with it and leave it there. So before the Euro, but after the reunification of Germany?
But the voters for brexit haven't disapear they just changed their opinion, They don't want to be part of the EU because they believe in its values, they simply want good damn business. Now Europeans have their say, would they want the rascals back into the house to stole the fridge and monopolyse the coach and the TV?
Conveniently forgetting, of course, you were able to vaccinate yourself months before anyone in Europe could. Always think of the negatives, never look at the positives, and you’ll never be able to be truly objective.
@@hughesy606 Being out of the EU had no effect of the UKs vaccine rollout. The EU wide vaccination program was opt in, i.e the UK could have gone through it's own vaccination plan, as several EU countries did. I know brexiteers are grasping at straws for the slightest resemblance of brexit benefits, but you don't need to lie.
Sad that it took so long. The BBC has lost all credibility in my mind due to their support of Brexit. Only now when the harm is so obvious do they come clean but its too little too late. Thankfully I live in the USA so I get to watch family and friends suffer from afar.
Was speaking with a Brexit voter the other day. He's now blaming the EU for the higher prices not trading fairly with UK. They will never admit the cost of living crisis has been made worse because of their "patriotic" vote 🤦♀
Ohhhhh and the EU doesn’t have higher prices? Oh look - here are the inflation figures, just in for October 2022: Germany (11.6 per cent), Belgium (13.1 per cent) Netherlands (16.8 per cent). Hungary (20.1 per cent) Poland (17.9 per cent) Etc and the UK? 10.1….. TEN POINT ONE!!!!! You do realise that inflation is prices don’t you?
@@rosshilton we're no longer in the single market which has added additional costs on top of inflation. It's also caused many businesses to suffer. My comment still stands, Brexit has contributed to the cost of living crisis.
I a dutch person living in Germany. My Son lives in London after going to school and uni in the UK. He is still doing reasonably well and has a permanent resident status. But nothing has improved after Brexit. Simply sending a box of cookies for Christmas has turned into an expensive and complex shipping exercise. What has the UK gained? Even the Tories have not come up with a good answer to this question. It seems to me that the turkeys voted for Christmas and it makes me sad.
Sadly the Tories were always using the EU excuse to escape from their bad policies in the past. Unfortunately for them, the chicken has finally come home to roost.
Part of the problem is that many Brits think they can change their mind at any time and come back again with their demands for exemptions. The burden of the culture of empire is great. But it would be better for them to sober up sooner rather than later, with clear European terms.
But how do you get them to sober up? We all thought with a cold hard slap of reality, but it's not stopping the xenophobic "we took back control" lies.
@@lenawagenfuehr53 When the Ukraine war is over and it will end eventually it is then that reality will set in, the economies of the EU will show strong growth while the UK will either lag or stagnate.
I run a successful UK export services company. Brexit has been a disaster for us and our employees. There is not a single advantage but many disadvantages such as the need to get work visas for UK employees, endless paperwork and divergent regulations. Our response has been to halve our UK employee numbers and recruit Irish and other native speakers with EU passports - a net loss for the UK. It is time to rejoin the single market.
international issues sure contribute, for the company I work at opening a branch office in the UK was about having access to the EU through an English-speaking country. Our office of 35 people is down to 1 and we’ve moved the rest to the Netherlands. That’s 34 high-end tech jobs right out the door.

I ordered something from England just after Brexit and was blown away by the customs charge. I didn’t think it would be that big since I live in Ireland. Since then I never order anything from England. It’s been mostly Germany or France that I’ve ordered things from now. I suspect that’s the same for a lot of people.
Yeah, same. It's cheaper, easier and somehow, impossibly, _faster_ for me to order a product from Australia on the other side of the globe than it is to order the same product from the UK, which is basically a stone's throw away.
Yeah, we pay extortionate prices for stuff from the US. We should have free movement & trade with the Five Eyes because we have so much in common with them. Truth is me & most have never ordered a single thing from Europe but are constantly ordering from the US because items are not sold in Europe but the US.

What's really astonishing to me as an outsider is that the British did, in point of fact, have a singularly privileged position within the EU before the referendum, with many special rights, positions, and exceptions granted to them and only them. They actively influenced the EU's position and policies on things that would *only* directly affect their competitors within the EU -- like the old harbour situation in Portugal and Spain. That, on a lighter note, the British forever ruined the word marmalade in the EU I shall not even dignify with a comment. In many ways, the UK was the *clear* winner of the EU, more so than often-quoted countries like Germany or Poland. The only thing that is clear to me after the referendum is that some parts of the British seem to indulge in the fantasy of bygone times, Britannia hooray, by jingo and all that nonsense. It really speaks to itself that many British people, in their vernacular, speak of the mainland as 'Europe' -- which bewilderingly seems to imply that they're not part of continental Europe. The entire referendum was held on the basis of partisan issues(us or them), deliberate misinformation (like that famous message on the bus), hidden agendas (like the Tories trying to break away from EU's workers' protection rights etc.), and general fearmongering (like how the UK is supposedly, in their words, ruled from afar). It is what it is. Still, if I were involved in any politics in the UK, I'd be looking into legal action against Johnson, Hamilton, Farage, and all the other deliberate liers. Freedom of opinion and policies is all very well. But if you bring your own personal agenda into national politics and deliberately manipulate public opinion you're clearly on the wrong side of democratic values.
It was inevitable we denied the euro back in 1992 this was the death knell for our involvement in the eurozone. It became unmanageable. The UK now has to find another way of trading with the EU shocking I know. The problem is the EU keeps world peace. Without the eurozone Europe would inevitably fall into chaos.

It’s never too late to reverse a bad decision my friends.
You can't reverse it like you can't undivorce your (former) partner. The UK will not be a full member of the EU any time soon and it will never (again) get all the special treatment they had.

Simple personal example. I can't really get caterpillar shoes here in Ireland anymore as they used to be distributed from Britain but stopped since Brexit. They're my favorite so I started looking online and the pair I wanted was €50 cheaper from Greece and a similar pair was €65 cheaper from Poland due to all the Brexit charges to get them delivered. I ordered from Greece and they arrived in less then a week. It's less time consuming to just avoid Britain for purchases these days.

Once the referendum vote was 'Yes' almost everything that followed was inevitable. The rich avoided new E.U. laws and regulations. The majority of citizens voted without understanding exactly what Brexit realities would be (and there were plenty of lies told). Johnson saw his opportunity to be PM on the back of the vote. The voters themselves have to take responsibility (incl those who didn't turn up to vote and who would have voted 'Remain'). There is a price to pay if citizens don't seriously research a major decision they will have a vote in.

Brexit is based on the idea, that Britain is not only a highly developed country, but an actual world power, like it was in times of the empire. It is an imperialist, nationalist, isolationist, in some aspects nothing but racist idea. Personally, I am very much in favour of Brexit, for it is, at the Brits expense, a boost to our own national economy. Since when could Austrian sheep farmers compete with the Brits? Since when did so much capital flow out of a country, so that even smaller ones (like Austria) get their share? Brexit made the Brits poorer, and the rest richer. And, most importantly: Itexit, Dexit, Nexit, Frexit, Öxit? Nope - those voices are silent now. By setting an example, the Brits showed what it means to be alone. It unified us in the European Union. And that alone made it worth it.
There's a key fact that most people don't know or fail to reconcile with enough in order to truly understand why we ended up with Brexit so here goes. In 2016 the official position of every major political party was to remain. The conservatives under David Cameron, Labour under Corbyn the lib dems under Farron and the SNP under Sturgeon So if all major political parties were against brexit and campaigned to remain how did we end up leaving? The answer is that while every major political party wanted to remin the British press which is 90% controlled by just 3 individuals campaigned relentlessly to leave. The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo. These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement. As a country we won't ever make the right decision and return to Europe while these groups control so much of the narrative here.

Brexit has been damaging for my small business. After leaving the single market, delivery costs, times and taxes just reduced my ability to make sales to Europe. In the past few years, I've also realised how weak the British economy is and people now do not have a lot of spending power. Britain is in decline and those at the top with deny this truth until it is too late to do anything to prevent the damage.
I know a hamper business that I really loved. I used to buy gifts from them to be sent to EU where my family lives. After brexit, I had to switch. I was hoping to support them again one day. They are a really lovely small company.
There is a video on how brexit affected (not only) small businesses in UK here on youtube. One of the protagonist say: "Making things more difficult for us to sell in EU did not make anything easier". The video title is: The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK
I also run a small business and am now exporting to Australia, Canada and Japan. Europe was beginning to stagnate for me ten years ago. Lead time has gone from six weeks to ten weeks, despite taking on more staff, and profitability is significantly better. There are business losers, especially in the more low-tech areas, but equally there are winners with innovative and/or high-quality products.
Not trying to be mean but most of my friends and family that voted to leave the EU seemed to have no clue what they were talking about. The things they said it would help with have gotten worse if anytbing

I remember the blatant lies along the lines of "extra 400 miillion pounds a day for the NHS" or something ridiculous like that. Look at the NHS now. Also the other thing that many racists voted leave for, was immigration, and all thats happened is the white immigrants from europe got replaced with many brown immigrants from who knows where, and of course illegal immigration is still a huge issue. So all in all, it didnt help with ANYTHING that the delusional brexit voters wanted.

Limits to risk are being revealed. Energy costs in Britain are killing them. Until that is addressed, the UK government has very few options on stimulating their economy, and this recent episode of a bond/currency crises has made that abundantly clear.
@@codelunatic You really don’t understand the Japan EU deal do you? It’s not a free trade deal - it’s an Economic Partnership Agreement of limited powers, to protect things like German engineering and auto makers - areas that Japan excels in. That’s why Japan will sign the same deal…….
@@codelunatic TLDR: Germany is about to collapse as a manufacturing nation due to lack of labour, the signing of free trade agreements with competitor nations and the end of cheap Russian gas. Germany built its economy on a three legged stool: The first leg was guest workers. German manufacturing was carried out by manufacturing was carried out by conscientious post war Germans, and with Turkish “Gastarbieter” - guest workers doing that manual lifting. Things changed after unification and new EU rules, especially the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999, when visas, asylum, immigration and other policies relating to the free movement of all persons, including third-country nationals, were moved from the JHA pillar to Title IV of the EC Treaty (EC Treaty, Arts. 61-69), and hence from an intergovernmental approach to policy-making to a common approach. The other big change was in attitudes within Germany. Young degree holding Germans didn’t want to bolt wheels onto BMWs. They wanted to wear suits. This shaky leg explains why Merkel was keep to allow so many refugees into Germany in 2015. Sadly she quickly found out that they don’t want to do manual work either. The second leg was the EU captive market. With free trade across borders Germany became the major manufacturing nation for the EU. Tariffs on imported goods allowed Germany to make higher profits. But that captive market has fallen away because the EU is now signing free trade agreements with other manufacturing nations. A free trade agreement with Korea came into force in 2015. An economic partnership agreement was signed with Japan in 2019. A free trade agreement with China is underway. This will open the door for foreign manufacturing and end Germanys captive market. The third leg is the cheapest energy in the world - Russian gas. In 2019 Germany was paying USD4 per unit of natural gas compared to Japan who were paying USD8.40 per unit. This is precisely why Germany is a major chemical and fertiliser manufacturer and Japan isn’t. All that just changed forever.
@@rosshilton I doubt the German manufacturing prowess is going to decline as fast, it takes decades to build that kind of capacity, skilled work force and engineering talent. As it is Germany is all about high end Engineering and not your cost saving fab/cnc shop.. Not the same case with the UK though.
@@ascgazz how about no. In fact, the war is already lost. We, the west, should have stopped Russia long ago. What happend on the 24.

I appreciate your honest reporting. I admire you a lot for educating everyone. It all depends on the information and method applied.

Guess how many third countries (i.e. not EU or EFTA member states) have joined the EU Single Market since it was established? None. The UK might feel the need to do so but it's not in their power to that.
@renideo Whilst your analysis is largely true about rejoining the EU. It does miss the fact that Leave campaigners dismissed leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union in the referendum campaign and the benefits were being touted as late as 2019. Farage repeated said we could ‘be like Norway’ which is in the Single Market. Leadsom said ‘We will have the same access to the Single Market’. Johnson in 2019 said ‘there will be no forms, no checks, no barriers of any kind [between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK].’ So rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union would respect the referendum result.
It is not just the Brexit. It is as well a symptom of British Fabric: empirial arrogance, inability to be a player among equals, a sense of being extraordinary and entitled... All this led many Europeans to be glad to see the back of Britain. (Just wishing NI and Scotland to break free and re-join EU )
Well said. For the last 200 years British always had a superior to others attitude. This is the attitude which will eventually drag them down to the size of a little island.

As someone who lives in UE and sees your situation from outside; what media say here it's that you're basically doomed. I don't want to be mean but... when you see 190 billions of capital flying from London to Paris just after the brexit, most from same UK's companies which want to retain all the old privilegies... it's difficult not believing it. Brexit was designed mainly for geopolitical reasons indeed; something about revitalizing the "old, imperial british pride and identity", in a United Kingdom any day more disunited, with different indipendetist movements inside, never really tamed and, today, more rampant than ever... with the result of worsening the situation (just take a look to how Scotland react to brexit). But no dream can live without a solid economic ground and some, at least decent, plan B. They presented their design to the british people in a some kind of recipe made of fear and pride, "US vs THEM"... lot of sentimentalism and very poor ratonality. What make many UE's european very little sympathetic, about brits actual situation, is that they always had a very privileged position in UE; with all the facilitations about being in a trading union, the very same all other members have, but with very little obligations, expecially in matter of common funding, nothing comparable to what countries like Germany, France and Italy had to pay in all their years of membership.
If you leave a huge market of wealthy nations right at your front door, then there aren’t any economic opportunities to embrace. You just kicked the opportunities out. And in a globalized, connected world one single nation can’t exercise control, so there aren’t political opportunities either.

There's a key fact that most people don't know or fail to reconcile with enough in order to truly understand why we ended up with Brexit so here goes. In 2016 the official position of every major political party was to remain. The conservatives under David Cameron, Labour under Corbyn the lib dems under Farron and the SNP under Sturgeon So if all major political parties were against brexit and campaigned to remain how did we end up leaving? The answer is that while every major political party wanted to remain the British press which is 90% controlled by just 3 individuals campaigned relentlessly to leave. The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo. These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement. As a country we won't ever make the right decision and return to Europe while these groups control so much of the narrative here. I hope a few individuals from outside the UK can see this and highlight it to raise awareness. As for the BBC and the relative silence you should know that ever since the tories got into power they have been loading the BBC with conservative journalists. The current arbiter of content is also an adviser to GB news.

I'm not THAT into economy, and definitely not into British recent politic history, but I do fail to comprehend what drove people to the conclusion of "yeah, we are an Island, which makes it inheritly hard and expensive to import/export products. Also, our economy heavily relies on turism. Definitely making it harder for tourists to come and add burocracy to any commercial exchange will benefit our economy 🤠👍"
It was the The City of London Corporation who wanted Brexit first and foremost according to certain experts out of fear that Brussels was going to limit their business practices by imposing unwanted legislation. When is the BBC going to further investigate those who curiously have benefited financially from Brexit or are they too powerful to be questioned?
Sorry, you are wrong. All the Global Financial Services companies were against Brexit as they saw it just increased barriers and thus costs. The Financial Times (the paper of serious business people) was very anti Brexit. All of the Global Financial Services firms tend to be based out of London (not exactly a place that voted leave!). Don't confuse a few rich twits (parochial small fry like Mogg) with the serious (global) financial services type (who ultimately took Truss down, as they care about profits above all and don't really care about the right and wrong of politics).
Is the average Brexiteer capable of digesting this information? I think the majority of them would struggle to use an abacus. While ever we have the ERG holding the government to ransom nothing is likely to change.
Considering not one remoaner can demonstrate even the most basic understanding of the financial situation we find ourselves in, I’m surprised you can even spell abacus.

Without Brexit, EU support for Ukraine could've been far more effective. A strong Britain backing Ukraine would've prevented foot-dragging on sanctions, and could've helped organize weapons exchanges. As for the British economy, predicting its post-Brexit demise was a school assignment. From lines of trucks and fighting over fishing rights to the rising cost of living and the flight of investors, I remember first describing these in essays only to then see them happening in real life. The start of the pandemic and my matriculation exams coincided so I even predicted a slower recovery for post-Brexit UK, concluding my analysis with a warning about the possibility of another "black swan". I had no idea that Russia would again invade Ukraine, nor was my analysis exceptional in any way. I only mention it because I still can't believe politicians couldn't see what a high school student could.

The UK is and always was a cherry-picker, when it comes to the pros and cons of dealing with the EU. Not even willing to share the same currency. Brexit was never mainly a state of mind "problem" never an economic one.
@Gabriel Jean-Batiste I think it's a fair observation to say the EU of today with the Treaties of Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon is very different to the EEC of 1973
You are obviously from a PIIG country. Who in their right mind wants to share a currency with Greece, Cyprus or Italy ? Beautiful countries to visit, but not to manage government spending. Even the SNP wants to keep the Pound.

Anyone who has taken even a basic economics class in college could have told Boris that his "Brexit" plan would fail and harm Britain economically. But Boris was on the leading edge of the current populist wave, of "going it alone is better". It is not. That is not to say that global economics in its current form is the way to go. It is not. The current "global economy" relies on a lot of things all going to plan, many of which are in other countries. Political strife, war, weather, supply chain issues and economic woes on the other side of the world, can, as we've learned, reek havoc at home. This I think was the simple thinking behind Brexit. A global economy is the only future, but self sufficiency, self reliance needs to be a big part of global economy 2.0 (or maybe 3.0), especially on essential things like energy, clean water and healthcare. "Just in time" manufacturing/inventory is a train wreck waiting to happen (and it happens every day). Countries need to always be working towards self sufficiency and self reliance, but they also need to know when it makes sense to import products from other countries. And global partnerships can be a good thing.
Brexit has turned out to be a self inflicted wound. A false promise was sold by a few to the many. Britain joined the EU in the first place in order for it to compete in the European economy in a more efficient manner. Before Brexit London was seen as the main financial center for European commerce. After Brexit this role is now being diminished. The sad part is that many large and small businesses will not survive the bureaucratic trade hurdles that are now in force as a result of Britain leaving the EU.
My favorite Brexit moment was hearing about the woman in a London travel agency ranting at the employees about how she "voted for Brexit to keep foreigners out of Britain, not to make it harder for [her] to vacation in Spain". Could anything sum it up more perfectly than that?

I can't rely on receiving orders on time. This causes real problems for my business as I order materials for specific projects with tight deadlines. With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £600k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

@@remembernottoforget1172 deserve better than what? Brexit was about making the UK independent of EU influence. So we have already got better.
It's simple, we used to be part of a 28 branch supermarket chain, buying cheap and being competitive. We then left that supermarket chain and decided we would be a corner shop, without realizing we would be buying in smaller amounts, and therefore having to charge higher prices, meaning lower sales. That is where we're at now.
Good analogy.
Wrong, on every point. We weren’t buying cheap or being competitive. We sold all our competitive products to outside companies years ago. The prices aren’t high due to Brexit, they are high because of the incompetency of lockdowns. If we were only the Country with high prices you would have an argument but you don’t have a point because you believe something based on fiction, not reality.
@@mehrcat1 No really bad analogy. Show me something that we got cheaper as a result of EU buying power.

The people who voted for brexit will never accept it's a disaster and that they were misled.
But it is becoming clear that many of the Leavers are now having regrets. The trading arrangements for NI are looking more attractive for the rest of the UK. But how could we get there?
People who voted for brexit only wanted to avoid to be ruled by a bunch of nazy donkey. And now the donkeys are boicotting uk.
Yes, correct. Politicians worldwide are known for lying, and they will never acknowledge that they were wrong.
The biggest win Brexit has so far delivered is that anti EU parties on the continent have practically disappeared.
No, they have not! Ukraine has taken it out of the public view!
Well that's not true. They've just changed tack, not disappeared. Italy, Hungary, Poland all have anti EU governments. France just took Macron's ability to govern properly by putting more anti EU politicians in the French Parliament. Germany has been doing it's own thing with little regard for the rest of the Europe, and will continue to do so. What's now happening is that the Anti EU parties are instead calling for a "Union of Nations", something more like the old EEC. Where the Nation State comes above Brussels. Europe is not America, there is no foundation story binding all states together. There is no financial union where debt burdens are shared - the proportionately tiny (when compared to the UK and America) Covid recovery fund, still hasn't been paid to many member states. What Brexit has actually done is show that European countries don't want an "American style" union, but neither do they just want a basic trade deal. Perhaps Europeans should wind back the project to the last time everyone was actually happy with it and leave it there. So before the Euro, but after the reunification of Germany?
But the voters for brexit haven't disapear they just changed their opinion, They don't want to be part of the EU because they believe in its values, they simply want good damn business. Now Europeans have their say, would they want the rascals back into the house to stole the fridge and monopolyse the coach and the TV?
Conveniently forgetting, of course, you were able to vaccinate yourself months before anyone in Europe could. Always think of the negatives, never look at the positives, and you’ll never be able to be truly objective.

Was speaking with a Brexit voter the other day. He's now blaming the EU for the higher prices not trading fairly with UK. They will never admit the cost of living crisis has been made worse because of their "patriotic" vote 🤦♀

@@rosshilton we're no longer in the single market which has added additional costs on top of inflation. It's also caused many businesses to suffer. My comment still stands, Brexit has contributed to the cost of living crisis.

Part of the problem is that many Brits think they can change their mind at any time and come back again with their demands for exemptions. The burden of the culture of empire is great. But it would be better for them to sober up sooner rather than later, with clear European terms.
But how do you get them to sober up? We all thought with a cold hard slap of reality, but it's not stopping the xenophobic "we took back control" lies.
@@lenawagenfuehr53 When the Ukraine war is over and it will end eventually it is then that reality will set in, the economies of the EU will show strong growth while the UK will either lag or stagnate.
I run a successful UK export services company. Brexit has been a disaster for us and our employees. There is not a single advantage but many disadvantages such as the need to get work visas for UK employees, endless paperwork and divergent regulations. Our response has been to halve our UK employee numbers and recruit Irish and other native speakers with EU passports - a net loss for the UK. It is time to rejoin the single market.

Spot on
What's really astonishing to me as an outsider is that the British did, in point of fact, have a singularly privileged position within the EU before the referendum, with many special rights, positions, and exceptions granted to them and only them. They actively influenced the EU's position and policies on things that would *only* directly affect their competitors within the EU -- like the old harbour situation in Portugal and Spain. That, on a lighter note, the British forever ruined the word marmalade in the EU I shall not even dignify with a comment.
In many ways, the UK was the *clear* winner of the EU, more so than often-quoted countries like Germany or Poland.
The only thing that is clear to me after the referendum is that some parts of the British seem to indulge in the fantasy of bygone times, Britannia hooray, by jingo and all that nonsense. It really speaks to itself that many British people, in their vernacular, speak of the mainland as 'Europe' -- which bewilderingly seems to imply that they're not part of continental Europe.
The entire referendum was held on the basis of partisan issues(us or them), deliberate misinformation (like that famous message on the bus), hidden agendas (like the Tories trying to break away from EU's workers' protection rights etc.), and general fearmongering (like how the UK is supposedly, in their words, ruled from afar).
It is what it is.
Still, if I were involved in any politics in the UK, I'd be looking into legal action against Johnson, Hamilton, Farage, and all the other deliberate liers.
Freedom of opinion and policies is all very well. But if you bring your own personal agenda into national politics and deliberately manipulate public opinion you're clearly on the wrong side of democratic values.
Yes JAIL for the fore mentioned DEPLORABLES
It was inevitable we denied the euro back in 1992 this was the death knell for our involvement in the eurozone. It became unmanageable.

Once the referendum vote was 'Yes' almost everything that followed was inevitable. The rich avoided new E.U. laws and regulations.

We hear that „next year the EU will crumble“ for decades. Reality does not seem to care about wishful thinking.
Brexit is based on the idea, that Britain is not only a highly developed country, but an actual world power, like it was in times of the empire. It is an imperialist, nationalist, isolationist, in some aspects nothing but racist idea. Personally, I am very much in favour of Brexit, for it is, at the Brits expense, a boost to our own national economy. Since when could Austrian sheep farmers compete with the Brits? Since when did so much capital flow out of a country, so that even smaller ones (like Austria) get their share? Brexit made the Brits poorer, and the rest richer. And, most importantly: Itexit, Dexit, Nexit, Frexit, Öxit? Nope - those voices are silent now. By setting an example, the Brits showed what it means to be alone. It unified us in the European Union. And that alone made it worth it.
It was useful for those hiding money in offshore banks, people like Sunak and Mogg etc. etc. etc.
There's a key fact that most people don't know or fail to reconcile with enough in order to truly understand why we ended up with Brexit so here goes.
In 2016 the official position of every major political party was to remain. The conservatives under David Cameron, Labour under Corbyn the lib dems under Farron and the SNP under Sturgeon
So if all major political parties were against brexit and campaigned to remain how did we end up leaving?
The answer is that while every major political party wanted to remin the British press which is 90% controlled by just 3 individuals campaigned relentlessly to leave.
The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make
gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo. These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors
but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement.
As a country we won't ever make the right decision and return to Europe while these groups control so much of the narrative here. I hope a few individuals from outside the UK can see this and highlight it to raise awareness.
As for the BBC and the relative silence you should know that ever since the tories got into power they have been loading the BBC with conservative journalists. The current arbiter of content is also an adviser to GB news.

Hello
I know a hamper business that I really loved. I used to buy gifts from them to be sent to EU where my family lives. After brexit, I had to switch. I was hoping to support them again one day. They are a really lovely small company.
There is a video on how brexit affected (not only) small businesses in UK here on youtube. One of the protagonist say: "Making things more difficult for us to sell in EU did not make anything easier". The video title is: The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK
I also run a small business and am now exporting to Australia, Canada and Japan. Europe was beginning to stagnate for me ten years ago. Lead time has gone from six weeks to ten weeks, despite taking on more staff, and profitability is significantly better. There are business losers, especially in the more low-tech areas, but equally there are winners with innovative and/or high-quality products.
Not trying to be mean but most of my friends and family that voted to leave the EU seemed to have no clue what they were talking about. The things they said it would help with have gotten worse if anytbing
Have you forgotten the two years of lockdown that destroyed the economy ? Have you forgotten the EU is in right mess? Or do you talk out of your backside ?
It's amazing how facts and opinions get mixed up.
Pointing out that it seemed like most of the thick people were voting Brexit made remainers “the elites” 🙄
I remember the blatant lies along the lines of "extra 400 miillion pounds a day for the NHS" or something ridiculous like that. Look at the NHS now. Also the other thing that many racists voted leave for, was immigration, and all thats happened is the white immigrants from europe got replaced with many brown immigrants from who knows where, and of course illegal immigration is still a huge issue. So all in all, it didnt help with ANYTHING that the delusional brexit voters wanted.
As I crossed my 40s, I came to the realisation of how stupid the average voter of most democracies are.
Aa a non UK citizen, I did engage quite a number of Brexit suppprters online. I came to the realisation the average UK voter is just as ill informed and misinformed as any third world nation out there.

Small parcels from the UK to Europe takes forever now (due to customs) and you now have to pay duties and handling cost too. So i only buy in the UK if i have no other option 😞
and from europe to the uk, takes weeks with no end, small businesses can't handle this...😥..
And from the US to the UK there is now stricter VAT collection policies. For our company we ended up having to pause shipping to the UK as the VAT collection/filing requirements and overhead exceeded the worth to ship a few packages a month there. We were told that if we didn't collect VAT, the packages would be turned away by customs.
@@JimBob1937 I have noticed this, and not much is being said about it either, UK is getting worse not better, nearly 6 and a half years after Brexit vote, and we were supposed to be trading globally, with great trade deals, and yet UK continues to slide down further down.
A Britain that works for the British.
So shouldn't you be complaining to your MEP about this? It's an EU-caused issue which was hidden when UK was in the single market, but other non-EU countries (India, Africa, Australia, etc) had complained about EU bureaucracy for years before Brexit.
Maybe the UK 🇬🇧 economy should focus more on the country and people themselves, rather than pushing an unpayable envelope somewhere else.

For the record: the UK-Japan trade deal is ALSO basically equal to the one the EU has with Japan. So nothing more there either.

@@codelunatic
You really don’t understand the Japan EU deal do you?
It’s not a free trade deal - it’s an Economic Partnership Agreement of limited powers, to protect things like German engineering and auto makers - areas that Japan excels in.
That’s why Japan will sign the same deal…….
@@rosshilton maybe but UK is no manufacturing super power like Germany
@@codelunatic
TLDR: Germany is about to collapse as a manufacturing nation due to lack of labour, the signing of free trade agreements with competitor nations and the end of cheap Russian gas.
Germany built its economy on a three legged stool:
The first leg was guest workers. German manufacturing was carried out by manufacturing was carried out by conscientious post war Germans, and with Turkish “Gastarbieter” - guest workers doing that manual lifting.
Things changed after unification and new EU rules, especially the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999, when visas, asylum, immigration and other policies relating to the free movement of all persons, including third-country nationals, were moved from the JHA pillar to Title IV of the EC Treaty (EC Treaty, Arts. 61-69), and hence from an intergovernmental approach to policy-making to a common approach.
The other big change was in attitudes within Germany. Young degree holding Germans didn’t want to bolt wheels onto BMWs. They wanted to wear suits.
This shaky leg explains why Merkel was keep to allow so many refugees into Germany in 2015. Sadly she quickly found out that they don’t want to do manual work either.
The second leg was the EU captive market. With free trade across borders Germany became the major manufacturing nation for the EU. Tariffs on imported goods allowed Germany to make higher profits.
But that captive market has fallen away because the EU is now signing free trade agreements with other manufacturing nations. A free trade agreement with Korea came into force in 2015. An economic partnership agreement was signed with Japan in 2019. A free trade agreement with China is underway.
This will open the door for foreign manufacturing and end Germanys captive market.
The third leg is the cheapest energy in the world - Russian gas. In 2019 Germany was paying USD4 per unit of natural gas compared to Japan who were paying USD8.40 per unit. This is precisely why Germany is a major chemical and fertiliser manufacturer and Japan isn’t.
All that just changed forever.
@@rosshilton I doubt the German manufacturing prowess is going to decline as fast, it takes decades to build that kind of capacity, skilled work force and engineering talent. As it is Germany is all about high end Engineering and not your cost saving fab/cnc shop.. Not the same case with the UK though.

@renideo Whilst your analysis is largely true about rejoining the EU. It does miss the fact that Leave campaigners dismissed leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union in the referendum campaign and the benefits were being touted as late as 2019. Farage repeated said we could ‘be like Norway’ which is in the Single Market. Leadsom said ‘We will have the same access to the Single Market’. Johnson in 2019 said ‘there will be no forms, no checks, no barriers of any kind [between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK].’ So rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union would respect the referendum result.

As someone who lives in UE and sees your situation from outside; what media say here it's that you're basically doomed.
I don't want to be mean but... when you see 190 billions of capital flying from London to Paris just after the brexit, most from same UK's companies which want to retain all the old privilegies... it's difficult not believing it.
Brexit was designed mainly for geopolitical reasons indeed; something about revitalizing the "old, imperial british pride and identity", in a United Kingdom any day more disunited, with different indipendetist movements inside, never really tamed and, today, more rampant than ever... with the result of worsening the situation (just take a look to how Scotland react to brexit).
But no dream can live without a solid economic ground and some, at least decent, plan B.
They presented their design to the british people in a some kind of recipe made of fear and pride, "US vs THEM"... lot of sentimentalism and very poor ratonality.
What make many UE's european very little sympathetic, about brits actual situation, is that they always had a very privileged position in UE; with all the facilitations about being in a trading union, the very same all other members have, but with very little obligations, expecially in matter of common funding, nothing comparable to what countries like Germany, France and Italy had to pay in all their years of membership.
If you leave a huge market of wealthy nations right at your front door, then there aren’t any economic opportunities to embrace. You just kicked the opportunities out. And in a globalized, connected world one single nation can’t exercise control, so there aren’t political opportunities either.

There's a key fact that most people don't know or fail to reconcile with enough in order to truly understand why we ended up with Brexit so here goes.
In 2016 the official position of every major political party was to remain. The conservatives under David Cameron, Labour under Corbyn the lib dems under Farron and the SNP under Sturgeon
So if all major political parties were against brexit and campaigned to remain how did we end up leaving?
The answer is that while every major political party wanted to remain the British press which is 90% controlled by just 3 individuals campaigned relentlessly to leave.
The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo.
These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement.
As a country we won't ever make the right decision and return to Europe while these groups control so much of the narrative here. I hope a few individuals from outside the UK can see this and highlight it to raise awareness.
As for the BBC and the relative silence you should know that ever since the tories got into power they have been loading the BBC with conservative journalists. The current arbiter of content is also an adviser to GB news.

It was the The City of London Corporation who wanted Brexit first and foremost according to certain experts out of fear that Brussels was going to limit their business practices by imposing unwanted legislation. When is the BBC going to further investigate those who curiously have benefited financially from Brexit or are they too powerful to be questioned?
Sorry, you are wrong. All the Global Financial Services companies were against Brexit as they saw it just increased barriers and thus costs. The Financial Times (the paper of serious business people) was very anti Brexit. All of the Global Financial Services firms tend to be based out of London (not exactly a place that voted leave!).
Don't confuse a few rich twits (parochial small fry like Mogg) with the serious (global) financial services type (who ultimately took Truss down, as they care about profits above all and don't really care about the right and wrong of politics).

Without Brexit, EU support for Ukraine could've been far more effective. A strong Britain backing Ukraine would've prevented foot-dragging on sanctions, and could've helped organize weapons exchanges. As for the British economy, predicting its post-Brexit demise was a school assignment. From lines of trucks and fighting over fishing rights to the rising cost of living and the flight of investors, I remember first describing these in essays only to then see them happening in real life. The start of the pandemic and my matriculation exams coincided so I even predicted a slower recovery for post-Brexit UK, concluding my analysis with a warning about the possibility of another "black swan".

The reason they wanted to leave is to avoid the incoming EU regulations of the banking sector, since all of these owners are either not UK citizens or take Nom Dom status and therefore make gigantic sums of money by making sure nothing gets in the way of the status quo.
These three individuals have cost the country untold billions and wrecked a number of other business sectors but because they dominate the media landscape to such a large degree there's little to no mention of their involvement.
As a country we won't ever make the right decision and return to Europe while these groups control so much of the narrative here. I hope a few individuals from outside the UK can see this and highlight it to raise awareness.
As for the BBC and the relative silence you should know that ever since the tories got into power they have been loading the BBC with conservative journalists. The current arbiter of content is also an adviser to GB news.
@@rosslogie217 The united kingdom was the only country not to hold a referendum to join the EU.
My family friends and I wanted to leave the EU long before the referendum.
We did not like the direction that the mainly German run EU was heading.
We believe that they want to dominate Europe.
Some good honest factual journalism
It’s the BBC ffs
@@senseofthecommonman I know, proud to pay my licence, just giving them some credit :)
Half the comments on any bbc story are people slating them, it's good to balance out the shit with the positive
From the BBC? Did you recently undergo a lobotomy or something?

Brexit means more immigration from outside the EU than ever. It's never mentioned that Indian, Pakistani and other commonwealth communities voted in numbers for Brexit. So, cui bono?
as an immigrant myself , remember this phrase.
- import the third world BECOME the third world.
and neither are the British passport holders who could not vote in the referendum, I hear there are nearly a million of us. F##K British democracy.
Lie and false info. I havent met 1 friend or fam who voted leave
@@tanzeelahmadhashmi6209 Well, I've met a few Indians and Pakistanis who voted brexit
@@edwardbernthal160 indeed, British citizens living abroad for more than 15 years could not vote in the referendum... while foreign citizens from commonwealth countries living in the UK could vote in the referendum.
I get angry when I watched this video because I knew the results of this back in 2016 when Brexit became the reality! It's just frustrating to see ignorant MPs blindly supporting Brexit just to save their faces (positions) in the government! 😖
Small impact but an inconvenience for Ireland. We lost Amazon UK. Now I'm forced to shop at Amazon DE. As it's considerably cheaper
We should have stayed in the single market

I used to buy everything from amazon uk. It took 4 or 5 weeks for my products to arrive and had extra taxes. I moved to germany. Faster, no taxes.
Huge damage also to the image of British society among European citizens. A huge impact on art business specially small artists.
Oh no what a disaaaaarrster darling!!
The UK is the laughing stock of the world !! 3 PM in 3 months... what is this Burundi ??????
Can’t you make some form of art out of the collective tear stains of the remoaners.
@@senseofthecommonman I think some kind of installation from the blood and body tissue of brexiters would be art I would like to see....don't funk with artists or you might be part of it.
Anyone who has taken even a basic economics class in college could have told Boris that his "Brexit" plan would fail and harm Britain economically. But Boris was on the leading edge of the current populist wave, of "going it alone is better". It is not. That is not to say that global economics in its current form is the way to go. It is not. The current "global economy" relies on a lot of things all going to plan, many of which are in other countries. Political strife, war, weather, supply chain issues and economic woes on the other side of the world, can, as we've learned, reek havoc at home. This I think was the simple thinking behind Brexit. A global economy is the only future, but self sufficiency, self reliance needs to be a big part of global economy 2.0 (or maybe 3.0), especially on essential things like energy, clean water and healthcare. "Just in time" manufacturing/inventory is a train wreck waiting to happen (and it happens every day). Countries need to always be working towards self sufficiency and self reliance, but they also need to know when it makes sense to import products from other countries. And global partnerships can be a good thing.
Excellent documentary !
I love how they start discussing the disadvantages of brexit when the damage has been done and most likely can not be undone.
Brexit has turned out to be a self inflicted wound. A false promise was sold by a few to the many. Britain joined the EU in the first place in order for it to compete in the European economy in a more efficient manner. Before Brexit London was seen as the main financial center for European commerce. After Brexit this role is now being diminished. The sad part is that many large and small businesses will not survive the bureaucratic trade hurdles that are now in force as a result of Britain leaving the EU.
Thank you brexiteers! You all must have been happy now, making all us more poorer.
At least we haven't seen food prices go as high as the EU.
yes i am happy
@@sebastianguerre6868 🤣🤣🤣 food inflation in most eu countries is lower than UK. Trust me I visit both.
