Donald Tusk more triggered than article 50
Euanskii 😂😂😂😂
Donald Tusk is a drama queen; he watches too much TV
hahahha
hahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuh.
Euanskii XD
If Donald Tusk is unhappy, I'm happy.
+MrPhilhatton
Wow, judging whether someone is educated or not based on 7 words.
I agree entirely. Down with the EU!
I'm not pretending this is a happy day. No need to pretend, it IS a happy day!
And so the gravy train begins to run out of steam.Good riddance
and gravy
d campbell Yes, I too can't wait until we can finally stop being used as cheap labour and get the British to move their asses and pick their own damn cabbages for once.
Nobody forced immigrants to scrub toilets. Nobody forced immigrants to live in the UK either.
To be honest the polish are victims of the European Union as well as they suffer from open immigration which essentially has their people with skills moving out causing a phenomenon called brain drain
Yeah, and that's what makes your country great again, to scrub your own toilets and and clean your shits!!!!!
Why does he look so miserable? And why is he handling the letter like it's an expensive electricity bill he didn't expect?
Because the UK will not have to pay his electricity bill any more
Because he's Polish, like me :D
because he is a vampire who steals our money
Yul Hubbart what do u mean by "His kind" ?
Julia : Seems fairly obviously referring to the political class per se
he was right about damage control. He needs to prevent france leaving the EU. if le pen wins then we have a game.
Jonathan Per France want out, Germany does as do many other countries in the EU .... people are always banging on about "Now is a time for change" blah blah blah but now that change is happening people are afraid of it. The EU will not last another 10 years. Us leaving the EU is just the beginning of the end for EU. Time to suck it up and get on with it. I voted to stay but after the more research I did into the EU Im now glad we're leaving. Peace ✌
Harriet Bullock i voted for brexit as the whole point was this eu was designed as a trade union not a political superstate. As for rhe netherlands, wit wilder losing that vote and the rest of the parties are pro europe. This merely delays it. france is the key here. I would have thought this was a warning sign. people seem to think that this is just about europe but no it has wider implications in which America is affected. Cameron gambled and he lost.
The EU was never meant to last this long! it was meant too last until economic stability and stability in all sections of governance was established after the world war.
There should of been something that was meant to make the demands of all countries united feel like that their voices were heard and established but the EU has nothing to do with the peoples demands other then those greedy little bureaucrats in power.
If france leaves, the EU dies. If the EU dies, the eurozone dies. If the eurozone dies, the economy of eurozone countries fall. If the economy of the eurozone falls, the economy of the UK falls.
New global crisis, yeah !
And in what universe was the EU not designed to be a political superstate ?
It was designed specifically for that from day 1.
Jonathan Per I'm not so sure about France leaving, can France self sustain?
He is no "boss". He is President of the European Council and is changed when his mandate is over and approved by an elected european parliament. Get your facts right, stupid media!
If UK couldn't survive outside EU I don't believe it would have ever been offered to a public vote. Again, we are not leaving Europe, we are leaving the union.
Well, I clicked on this thinking it said Donald Trump, not Tusk. Thought it would be amusing to see what he would have to say.
Doublebow same here 😂
DrStudioManTonic Any Donald is a bad Donald, let's not beat around the bush
00:58 - "Brexit has made us, the community of 27, more determined and more united than before". Has it? France, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Hungary - all of these countries have UKIP-style, populist, anti-EU parties that are making big gains. I'd say the EU is more divided than ever before!
I personally voted for Brexit, but I will say this, which might be controversial: I do actually support the idea of a European Union. I think that European nations uniting, in some form, can make us stronger against our enemies (e.g. China and other developing nations, who will pose more of an economic threat in the future), as well as reduce our dependence on the United States.
BUT such a Union *MUST BE DEMOCRATIC!* It must respond to the will of the people that it governs - otherwise it is not a legitimate government!
If the EU wants to be as legitimate as our national governments, then it must be as *ACCOUNTABLE* as our national governments! But currently it just ignores what its people desire - which is why I think we will see big shocks to the EU in the future, e.g. perhaps another country voting to leave.
I am certain that the EU will eventually have to change its ways. In my mind it is only a question of when, not if.
British independence > Scottish independence > :D
This power crazy unelected despot sounds like he is going to make it as difficult as possible for other nations to leave this corrupt and marxist union. I feel sorry for those nations, especially in southern Europe, who have been ruined by these EU dictators.
And Theresa May is elected?
70 AD but not as prime minister
simsa 99 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/35176037
70 AD
simsa99, in the U.K we do not vote for a Prime Minister, we vote for a political party of which the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister, Theresa May is not the first and probably will not be the last to take office part way through term
I won't pretend this is a happy day, becase it's not.
It's Happy for me being a drone of a bigger drone is more depressing than just being a drone
Speak for yourself, today was a very happy day. The beginning of putting Great back into Great Britain.
Hahah. Reading it after 4 years makes me giggle. Brexit was a horrible thing and the worst idea in the Uk history
This comment didn't age too well, I'm afraid
The EU will remain more united and determined: Yes because the EU countries won't give their citizens the right to choose if they want in or out.
Exactly how is that democracy in action refusing your own citizens the right to make a decision.
The UK govt took the brave decision to allow it's citizens the right to choose the EU wanted the UK govt to ignore the result, where is the democracy in Europe?
I'd say it was a VERY VERY happy day ha ha.
I give it about 10 years max before this United States of Europe falls apart.
I'll give it 5 months after Brexit before the United Kingdom falls apart.
James Marley I give max 10 years before UK will get back to EU but this time no more picking cherries
For starters, the threat of an impending Scottish referendum which will probably vote remain again.
Thats funny because thats exactly how long I gave it.
James Marley i'd give it about 10 years till arsenal falls apart.
Hell yeah. GO UK!!!!
Right from the cliff xd
HA!! I nor a majority of the British public need to pretend anything...! today was a great day....
I know we have more important things to listen about but um... typo in the thumbnail, Triggered not Trigerred
Deal with it. We voted out. We are getting out. We were the first but won't be the last.
On balance I voted remain. But if they didn't want to risk the union disintegrating, maybe they should've stopped trying to bully everyone into becoming a federal European super-state.
We'll see how it pans out.
Temporary via free travel (e.g. for holidays) is a good idea and will hopefully continue. Visa free travel to live and work was a terrible idea and is very unlikely to be part of the final deal.
Donald Tusk more upset than those anti-Brexit sheep.
"More United" lmao, the leader of the French political race is vehemently anti EU.
The Netherlands nearly elected an vehemently anti EU prime minister.
There are countries left and right demanding referendums.
how much money UK give to EU?
is that the reason EU boss is not happy?
Nothing to do with it I'm sure! ;)
Someone's jealous
Ja pierdolę, czytam poniższe komentarze i nie chce mi się wierzyć. Czy Brytyjczycy naprawdę myślą, że wyjście z UE magicznie rozwiąże ich problemy? Że pieprzony RBS nie będzie ich kosztował 6 miliardów funtów rocznie? Że upadające społeczeństwo, wychowane w dobrobycie, po pozbyciu się taniej siły roboczej w postaci Polaków, Hiszpanów, etc. nagle przejmie po nich (nas) najgorzej płatne prace? Własne elity dymają ich na lewo i prawo, zawłaszczając nawet robotnicze radości (widział ktoś ostatnio ceny biletów na Premier League?), a czepiają się Tuska, gościa, o którym nic nie wiedzą, wyzywając od "niewybranego", nie znając przepisów, jakie miały zastosowanie przy przy odnawianiem jego kadencji? Gościa, który na koniec wypowiedzi mówi, że już tęskni za UK w UE?
Mały apel do wszelkiej maści prawactwa, które dziś triumfuje, brandzlując się nad wizją podzielonej Europy: mam nadzieję, że to wy, tępe chuje, pierwsi pójdziecie na front, gdy nam sąsiad wypowie wojnę "bo tak mu się będzie podobało". Największym zwycięstwem nacjonalizmu i faszyzmu jest to, że udało się im przekonać świat, że czas wojen już minął. Ci, którzy tak myślą: w pizdę grubo się mylą. Łącznie z Brytolami, którzy niedługo się zesrają, gdy Szkocja ogłosi niepodległość, a za nią pójdzie Irlandia Północna. Gówno będzie, a nie Wielka Brytania.
Pozdro600.
Obawiam sie, ze wlasnie sirjackryan ma racje
Masz racje, ale tylko w tym ze pierdolisz!
To z jakichże to powodów brexit będzie dobry? Bo na razie tak jak napisał Sir JackRyan zanosi się na to, że zanim to UK rozpadnie się wcześniej od EU...
fiucik1 nic sie nie rozpadnie Londyn rozdaje karty w UK
To chyba ty nie wiesz o czym piszesz. May już rękami i nogami zapiera się, żeby Sturgeon jej nie wyskakiwała przed szereg, bo wie że jeśli zaczełaby się kampania niepodległościowa to rząd UK jest załatwiony - już Brexit jest zbyt dużym frontem do walki, a dwa tak duże fronty zabiłyby ten kraj całkowicie. Dlatego uwierz mi, że jak Sturgeon mówi to w Londynie słuchają bardzo uważnie, nawet jeśli udają że nie (tak samo jak polscy politycy udający, że stanowisko Tuska jest równe sekretarce - dzięki Waszczu - ale jakoś promowali najlepszego Polaka w UE na to stanowisko). Dalej - nie będą płacić składek do UE? Nie będą, wtedy nie będą mogli z nami handlować. ;] Jeszcze w zębach, spodleni i skundleni przyniosą te same pieniądze co teraz, ale wtedy będą dziękować że mają gdzie wysyłać swoje produkty (sprawdź ile % produktów UK eksportuje do Europy - rynek wewnętrzny nie wchłonie tego co wyprodukują, a o bajkach że USA albo Australia odkupią od nich to wszystko, to możesz zapomnieć). Nie będą podlegać pod prawo UE? Sprawdź sobie co zrobi Great Repeal Bill najpierw, a potem komentuj. Dla twojej informacji - UK jest w tak ciemnej dupie (za mało urzedników - od 2010 obcięli liczbę osób pracujących dla rządu o 10% - żeby ogarnęli negocjację wyjścia z UE, tworzyć nowe prawa i wynegocjować nową umowę handlową z UE), że zamiast tworzyć nowe prawa, po prostu weźmie te które ma teraz (15-30% od UE, nie więcej) i wszystkie uzna za krajowe. Haha, no prawdziwi Coperfieldowie, ciemny lud i tak to kupi że "teraz to my stanowimy prawo" - co z tego, że wiele z tych przepisów i tak dalej bedą szły z europejskich agencji, bo to będzie warunek dalszego handlu z UE. No i ostatnia perełka twoich mądrości - UK stanie się Singapurem Europy? Hmm, to będzie bardzo ciekawe, zwłaszcza że jakoś trzeba finansować NHS. ;] Ludzie oczywiście zaakceptują, że "podatki korporacyjne obniżone o 50% = zwiększone pity/zmniejszone kwoty wolne od podatku = zmniejszony budżet na NHS i inne sprawy" i będą nawet powiewać flagami Anglii (bo UK już wtedy nie będzie, jako że Szkocja się odłączy) w geście aprobaty.
Good luck consuming parsnips from Norfolk and going for vacation to Shropshire for eternity.
Take the L.
Well get REKT
LaMoyo what's wrong with parsnips?
Much of this has been immigration. Especially of this of europe. But in Spain there live a million British immigrants, more than a third. They are pensioners, who use the Spanish health system. The Spanish health system is considered by world organizations such as O.M.S. Or the European Commission. As one of the 5 best. There are also about 3275 Britons taking Spanish benefits. The Spaniards have always treated well, the British and have always been well received. In the holiday season of one million residents, it goes up to the 13 million who go on vacation or to see relatives. In U.K there are many Spanish companies like ZARA, .. O2 telefonica .. Scottish power, Idroelectrica, Banco Santander ... Mango ... Ferrovial .. etc. They give work to thousands of Brits. I believe that the Spanish people, have behaved well with the British people ... Spain does not deserve to be badly treated now by the British
No one is pretending this is a happy day. No need. It is indeed a happy day!!! :) No need to pretend.
48% of the UK voted to remain, and I would wager that more than 3% of those who voted to leave now regret their decision. What a strange nation we are. I'm European and I want to be part of Europe. The UK voted to be part of the EU by a large majority back in 1975, and then last year we voted out. When will we see the next opportunity to vote back in? Where does it end?
I think more Remainers have changed their minds than Leavers. There was a poll done recently that said that 68% of people in the UK want the government to just get on with Brexit. It's also worth bearing in mind that even in 1975 it was still only 44% of the actual electorate that voted to stay in in the first place (due to the lower turnout) and the 17m that voted to leave this time was higher than the number that voted to stay in last time.
I'm sorry but "I'm European and want to be part of Europe"? Since when where we leaving Europe? We're still Europeans since we part of the European continent, that's not changing, what's changing is that we're leaving a union that started off as a simple trade union but then has turned into something much more.
I don't pretend it's a good day. It *is* a good day.
He is speaking for the remaining Polish citizens who are currently residing in the UK. Donald Tusk @ former Polish Politician.
The EU didn't think this would happen now there showing regret when they should have listened to the UK before it got to a vote
I like the concept of having a united Europe but the EU is corrupt. I do hope that we can remain brothers and that we may reunite eventually but for now, we have made the right choice.
Time for the french to demand a 'FREXIT', the Greeks a 'GREXIT', etc....
Dream On Aerosmith 1973 is a bloody good song
so much hate... I hope something good will come from this... it's so unclear how this will turn out
End of a 44 year sentence.Sorry Donald, but for me this is a very happy day.Fishing and agriculture in this country was sacrificed on the altar of the Common Market/EEC/EU.For most of those years all we heard was that the common agriculture and common fisheries policies were going to be reformed.They were never reformed,and never will be.The EU is one massive undemocratic,sclerotic bureaucracy serving the self-interests of global corporations like VW.Why was diesel so actively encouraged within the EU? Whose interests were served by doing this?In my industry,fishing,for years because of quotas, dead fish landed in nets had to be thrown back into the sea.The total madness and idiocy of stupid rules and regulations dreamt up by pen-pushing officials who couldn't run a bath,let alone a business of their own.Who remembers the 'butter mountains' and 'wine lakes' where producers of these commodities were actively encouraged to over-produce because of the subsidies on offer to them? The European Court telling member states that prisoners should get the vote.Ridiculous social,liberal,so-called 'progressive' ideas that should be embraced we were told.We were bludgeoned into accepting metric weight measurements.Again,who profited from this?.We used to purchase goods and products in pounds and ounces.Remember when 8oz equated to a product weighing 227g? For several years after metrication,products were sold weighing 227g.How many products now weigh 227g? Funny isn't it that the products all weigh 200g or 400g now,but the pro rata price is equivalent to a half-pound or old pound weight product.All lies and deception.If there had been some honesty from the very beginning then i don't think the resentment and in some cases full-blown hostility would have come to the fore in the in/out EU referendum.We Brits are part of Europe but do not want to be run by Europe anymore.
so the fishernen are happy now ?
Happy day here mate
really can't take sky news seriously when they don't spell "triggered" right in the thumbnail..
more united than before? ha, polish people want out, the hungarians have built TWO walls, and a bunch of camps, and the french are on their way to electing le penn
and vive le penn
Nique le Pen
He is upset because the UK is Divorcing him, let me put it like this, I was married once being screwed over and being made a fool of, so I got divorced, Now I have money in my pocket lots of new friends who respect me and I respect them, but the biggest thing is I'M HAPPY and so will the UK be, The EU keep crying that we are leaving, yes the UK has filed for Divorce, but when it is final, the UK can trade with anyone in the world and export again The EU took us for mugs, moving out ALL our manufacturing to other EU countries, we have woken up to life and seen what is happening, The UK will be strong again and Happy, we will have our own laws back and not dictated to by Brussels, That's what they dont like loosing control.
I can see France and Holland pulling out of the EU and when that dose happen that will be the end of the EU.
"There is no reason to pretend that this is a happy day," the President
of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said following the triggering of
Article 50.
Speak for yourself we are no longer a 'treasure island' for the likes of this pirate.
No, we are now going to be a Tax haven "treasure island" for the rich, low wages and no regulations.
We don't need to pretend it was a happy day. It WAS a happy day.
why do he say almost half the british voters wish we would stay together, he should have said less than half the british voters ie the minority.
48.1% is almost half
zippy4994 Looks like someone failed their Math GCSE
Donald (duck) Tusk is trying to paint a picture that the British public dont want to leave, and its not a happy day in london, Its a great day for me brexit means BREXIT
48% IS LESS THAN HALF , HE SAID ALMOST TO MAKE IT LOOK CLOSER, DOH, I HOPE YOUR A REMOANER, SOUNDS LIKE TO ME
BREAKING NEWS Nigel Farrage to lead the negotiations on exiting the E U
Best day for our country for years
Half the population of the U.K. voted to stay the bigger half voted to have their country back!
Probably the happiest day in modern British history, actually.
It was not in my name,a black day indeed.
it's a happy day for us that voted exit. already immigration has drilled, a first step back to Britain reclaiming control and more power for the worker not just the employer
LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY!
Preach it, brother! Long live the UK!
Chef Excellence The land of moping poorly.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.
No one around here in commiserating the start of this long overdue divorce. I do wonder how the EU is going to balance the books, thus enabling people like Donald Tusk to continue wearing suits worth more than a year on minimum wage.
Half the british aren't wishing we'd stay. That's an utter exaggeration from a typical Brussels stooge.
and look at the ftse 100 climb
DAX is roughly the same as FTSE at the moment, so it's good on both sides it seems
the ftse isaffected by companys OUTSIDE the UK and has no relevence to our economy at all. The pound to doller remains unchanged meaning no sudden rises and no recovery to pre voteing levels.
more united than ever lol but germany and France are having the same vote for the same thing this year.doesnt sound that united to me.
I am very happy
There, there, there Mr. Tusk. Walruses never cry!!!!
Erm. Yes it is. I don't know what your on
He's not happy because he wont be getting anymore hand outs from us.
I have mixed feelings about brexit, i want an independent UK, a radical change, but i always want a safe EU and a good relationship all our European friends. I always find the positives to everything, and there is positives, so heres to an independent and stronger UK and hopefully a much stronger relationship with the EU than what we had while we was in the EU. Peace!
I thought that's Simon Pegg in the thumbnail
France will soon follow 😆
when is soon over ?
Hopefully hard brexit.
They lose one of their cash cows, no more of my taxes are going into his pocket.
It will go into migrants pockets instead ;-)
@@clincpb8903 I'm not happy about that either, hopefully the channel tide and current will help out.
These bureaucrats have made enough money in these positions they gave themselves, sadly they won't lose any of the wealth
(Voted not to join 1970s-Leave 2016). Suspected ultimate Federalism when we joined the Common Market. De Gaulle never really wanted us in, - we are an island trading nation by instinct. Life goes on, our neighbours are still neighbours so let's get sorting it all out without insults, threats or recriminations.
I suspect most of those who wanted to remain were not even born or had arrived in the UK when we joined the Common Market so never got to experience what it was like compared to how it is now .
De Gaulle only allowed us to join on the condition we gave them Nuclear Weapons but France still tried to keep us out after we agreed .
Tony William we have a dust up every 100 years. It used to be with swords, then guns, now politics
The referendum about whether to join the 'Common Market' (EEC) or not was mispresented to us as a trading organisation which would help the UK to sell its goods more effectively. If we had known then what the EEC would become I doubt if we would have joined at all. No mention was ever made about us having our laws overridden by faceless bureaucrats in Brussells. From memory, I think there were only 8 countries in the EEC at the time. Now it has become bloated with impoverished countries who contribute nothing but take all the subsidies they can get their hands on.
Kurtis howard That is not usually the experience from multiethnic/naionalist governments, in fact it was the slow arrival of the nation state that allowed the central European states to have such diverse and interesting cultures with increasing local rights. Corporatism also doesn't have to mean abuse of workers, in fact neo corporatism has worked extremely well in Denmark.
The nation states are known for killing local cultures to push one narrative of the nation state. Just look at France, that had many different languages and cultures, all dying out with hastening speed from the nation state
sue enough, but the same claim can be made of nation states like Britain. The EU has a very strict court on the account of civil liberties, something the UK has learned as well. The problem with your argument is that the only way to democratise the EU is to take power away from the states and give it to the parliament, which is what is happening. Every EU politician is accountable.
I'm so pleased he's not happy, however there are over 65% of Brits who are now very pleased that Article 50 has at last been triggered and from reading the comments lots of people in other parts of Europe are pleased for us as well - a great day.
why do they all have a facial expression like they are remembering an intense session of Coprophilia
It's alright we're not pretending it's a happy day, it IS a happy day.
Yes, now our Tory overlords have full power over our rights! I welcome a golden age of 60+ hour work weeks.
"EU Law" what a little megalomaniac
His comments on European unity are nothing short of a joke, the union is in a massive state of flux with crises, largely of their own makings, leaving it looking fractured and fragmented.
Oh but this is a happy day... a very very happy day #MakeBritainGreatAgain
Your video has a spelling mistake in the thumbnail. Thanks
Your going home, Your going home, immigrants are going home.
If the European Union wasn't so unspeakably corrupt and unjust then maybe this wouldn't be happening, eh? If they were more willing to let members spend money on and tend to the woes of their own people, then there wouldn't be a problem.
"there is no reason to pretend this is a happy day in Brussels or London" - Donald tusk bulshit this is a happy day
Finally!!!!
sad day for uk and ue
Gutted . . but it is what it is.
It is presumably a very happy day for the majority of British voters - does seem as though the EU has been in denial until now.
Look at him seethe beneath the surface, he's not just disappointed, he's straight up angry. He knows that Britain has the advantage and that it'll only continue to prosper outside of the EU's influence. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the cards fall down... and he just loathes the concept of losing so much power...
poor UK should keep its money and leave now to WTO so EU can go on without UK !
the British are leading the world back to freedom....AGAIN
Only to be hated in doing so by the people of the world.... *AGAIN*! oh well same old same old.
+Conor M - Your tears are delicious.
happy days are here again
still happy?
This wont end well for uk or europe
Bye!
Good god, they are going to rip us to shreds in 'negotiations'. Lord have mercy.
just hide under your duvet for the next two years, all the bad men will go away.
After two years? All the bad men are in government. Not only will we have to suffer the ramifications of a group of power mad zealots in the May 'haute monde' Brigade, but then we will be stuck with them at the end of it.
article 50: *TRIGGERED!*
he was only showing signs of emotion because he knew that the Meal ticket - the gravy train is coming to an end.
Dry your eyes mate, I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up.
There's plenty of fish in the sea.
it's a happy day for me. I voted leave!
is this guy tripping. Europe has become even more divided since we decided to leave. now france and the Netherlands both want to leave the eu
He looks like an evil villain
It's a great day to be from Britain
Nice spelling mistake in the thumbnail ;)
Edit: I got a screenshot before it was changed.
There's a typo in your thumbnail...
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves; Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!
"never shall be slaves"
...but to their landlord... :p
saint nigel day.....
Tusk, the deconstructor of the EU. That will be his record.
