"They come around scrounging for your vote and then they get down to London and forget the rest (of us)"
Thank you very much!
thanks ^^

Why is it that the English-speaking world needs an interpreter to understand the words of a native Englishman? It's absurd! If you're born in England, there's no reason not to speak proper English.
With my incredible power to see the future i can see that a lot of people Pro Brexit will post angry comments against this show, liberals, EU and probably Polish people.
liberals actually want the opposite of what happened
Nothing to Spiffy ! That's why i saw comment against them, stuff that it could be really fun if it wasn't real.
Why Polish people though
+MCShvabo there's more Polish people in the UK than any other minority
MCShvabo This is kinda fun: a big point of the brexit was the immigration. Now when you think about immigration these days you think about muslim BUT for many british the problem are the polish because there are A LOT of polish that live in the UK so they think "polish are stealing our jobs".
You may think i'm joking but that's what you see on the internet these days, it's pretty crazy.
We fucked up, but at least we don't have a shooting every 5 minutes.
Oooh... shots fired. ;)
+Bob Shatner and again.... twice
+Beat And again...
and again
"Honey, did you hear that? Sounds like a car backfired!"
"Don't be silly dear, probably just another mass shooting. Go back to bed."
All racists and xenophobics voted leave but not all people that voted leave were racist and xenophobic.
Probably true but it's ironic that the country most known for going to other places in the world and fucking their people and fucking those places over is wanting said people they fucked away from them.
+V1ralB1ack that's basic logic. You don't sleep in the house of the person you just murdered.
bryce ostrem If you're not going to take the house of the people you just murdered why'd you fucking murder them?
+V1ralB1ack i love you.
FreakishlyTrue =)
The funniest thing is that if you think things are going bad for GB, wait until the day after they truly left the EU. That will be funny
Antonia Grobbel "The thing is no one has a clue if it'll be fine or they'll go down" The day after they're out of Europe it will be bad for their economy. That's for sure, then it will probably follow a crisis. Then who knows, I assume (and hope, for those assholes) it will just be worse for them, but no one knows
It will be funny to see people loose their jobs as well due to a major change in trade, I guess. If I'm a UK based business who has a majority of customers in continental Europe and if the trade deals change (which they will) I will be moving majority of my company to EU since it is a bigger market and easier to do business... Additionally the EU governments would add tax breaks on top of me moving...
I hope so too, when something like that will happen, i'll sit on the balcony with a cigarre and a bottle of beer, pointing my finger to north-west (i'm coming from germany, that's why NW) and start laughing, till the morning, when i finally realise that Strongbow and Bulmers Cider become more expensive... then i'll cry.
Coming From Rapeville of Europe
''Rapeville''?
For anyone that needs a translation: "They come around, scrounging for your vote. Then they go back down to London and forget the rest."
Thank you.
holy shit.. that's exactly what he said..
LMAO holy shit. now it makes sense
I appreciate it, but damn it was funnier not knowing.
thank you so much hahahaha
60% of Scotland voted to remain & 56% of Northern Ireland voted to remain.
They should both leave the UK and remain in the EU.
Trevor doesn't need to be in the UK to know the situation there - that's a stupid statement people make most of the time. Everything Trevor said is right. Now the UK wants to negotiate for access to the single market with the EU but not the free movement (which is not gonna happen anyways) so let me ask you, why do you desperately need the single market n not the people? It's cos the UK has benefitted from the EU. The bureaucracy of Brussels is just an excuse as the average person doesn't even care about what goes on there. To me it was mostly Xenophobia.
omg THIS. couldnt have said it better..
Wrong, it was proven in surveys that immagration was the last thing on the vast majority of peoples mind when voting leave the primary reason to vote was democracy.
+Liam Scott what was the primary reason, then? Plain stupidity?
danieldjz You do realise that the majority of the world is outside of the EU and about 50% of the EU citizens are eurosceptic? So according to you only about 250 million people in the world are "smart". Who's stupid now? Haha
That was the promise the Leave camp made, "They need us more than we need them", I can still hear Farage say it. The response came from Juncker and Tusk; No way No how. The response from May was that they were going to leave the European Community as well, which is hilarious because that is a completely different organization(human rights, election monitoring etc.)
To be fair, I'm British and even I didn't understand that guy
he said "they come down here looking for votes and when its all done they go back to london and forget about us" or something very similar
+Andy Dufresne exactly right. I thought he was reasonably easy to understand!
then you also understand that this is a bunch of lies and liberal propaganda
Your confederate flag pic suggests that you are not a particularly reliable source for good geopolitical opinion or discourse. Also that 99% you are super racist.
subaveragejoe2
oh really? show me a peer reviewed scientific source that says confederate flag users are not a good source.....il wait, besides this isnt the confederate flag is the "stop being brainwashed by the media" flag.....dont let them tell you what is and isnt racist
Whos here after trump is already elected ??
Jonas Paulius Mackevicius surprisingly I'm still here alive.
Man... if only someone had listened to what that fisherman had said instead of how he had said it. Cause I heard it a lot of it in November.
Here, they didn't lol
Jonas Paulius Mackevicius
I am seeing a lot of interesting comments, a lot of whiners but heartened to see plenty of patriotic British people standing up for the leave vote.
Everyone reading youre comment 😂
I love that everyone uses that clip of the lady saying that she wishes to vote again, I've seen her more than I have seen news about brexit.
True, all I've learned is that exactly two people wish they could revote.
that is two less people to bring the tally from 52 to 50 all.
+mohamed Debrrn
You realize that it's 52 percent, not people, right? There are millions of people in the UK, and I bet over 100 voted on something this important. If it was out of 100 people, those two would knock it down to fifty, but because there were over 100 voters, it's still in the majority.
The amusing thing is the person in the clip saying she voted Leave, and regretted it, was recorded at Birmingham Airport, and she was interviewed by 3 TV channel's in the UK. All the TV channel's had to remove the recorded footage from air, as it turned out she was a Remain campaigner lying to get onto TV.
sad thing is that neither britain or america ever learned!
coolplant they're the same people :p
No
So we can send Trump voters who don't know what they're voting for to the UK and they can just blend in.
Nick DeSoto I'm not. I don't think any crook should be in politics. Sorry if that hurts your conservative feelings.
How about all of those scams he pulled, licensing and endorsing products he didn't review, and Trump University?
***** Now that's a Republican answer isn't it?
Nick DeSoto So that's why all those students are suing Trump for fraud huh? He keeps changing his excuses and involvement every time he's asked.
+Nick DeSoto Wait, you are aware that the person bringing the case's background is basically irrelevant? Shes just (one of the) plaintiffs. Now, the courts are ruling and hearing cases based on the fraudulent nature of the university, and the woman's history, whether true or not, is almost completely irrelevant. The case has nothing to do with any one person, its about Trump University and their own policies. So.. nice deflection.
America let that be a lesson for you to go out there and vote for the candidate that actually knows what she is doing. Because if you make the wrong decision it is even more certain that your country is going to suffer tremendously.
I agree. Jill Stein 2016
+seeibe Welcome to the Green Party 🎊
Sorry I'm not down to elect a criminal who couldn't even be the Secretary of State without getting people killed/getting fired.
what lesson? trevor noah is LYING, liberals say "oh you dont actually believe that your just protesting"
You mean the crook that everyone wants to overlook all of her problems. Sure, we will just continue down the same path till we hit and impasse and do something stupid like what Britain just did because of desperation.
They voted out but didn't mean it? Understandable. How are we expected to make a decision between YES or NO. Its far too complex, they need to make it easier.
you should supervise the next referendum.
***** whats that? you want a small loan of a trillion dollar?
Maybe they/someone they knew lost their jobs due to the brexit
***** anything will do really,as long as you're in charge of it! you go and get that award.
Maybe they should add a "i dont have a clue wtf im voting for, but i thought i would just come and tick a box anyway" option.
Bloody hell, that was an impressive imitation of my accent...
Thank you! I was wondering why nobody was mentioning how on point his accent was
Direct Democracy is when every single citizen is taking responsibility. As a Swiss citizen I strongly believe in direct democracy because I can not understand to give the responsibility of every single citizen to a couple of representatives only.
wrong *****
***** you
You can not vote for something that would violate fundamental laws like killing a whole ethnicity.
The point of people beeing to dumb to vote would also account for representive democracy. Hitler was democratically voted for as an example.
So if you think masses are manipulated too easily and uneducated to directly vote then you would have to go back to monarchy/despotism.
***** Direct Democracy is not opposing a constitution. And a party based democrazy is not preventing any of your points. If there is a party promising the people to confiscate all dem moneys and the party gets voted for with >50% they can do just that, same goes for sth like a brexit or a king (see hitler again :3)
Sorry but your view is shared by exactly 0% of philosophers.. or political scientists... or politicians. Plato even said democracy is the worst form of government.
Do you realize then that every citizen would have to vote on every single decision the government made? Have to hire every employee, approve every expense, legislate every law, all by popular vote. Do you know how impossible that is in any human group bigger than like 100 people? How many people do you think have time to go and vote directly multiple times a day and week on every government decision, most of which they have no knowledge of or expertise in whats being decided? It would basically be ruling by retired people, people with no jobs and random people who would spend every day in a voting booth. Direct democracy is absolutely, objectively impossible and frankly a dumb idea in any modern society. Thats why no one past the 7th grade has ever proposed any country in the world do that.
A South African, earning his livlihood in US of A, giving his opinion on UK politics,,, wow !
+Gabrihel he's lived in the UK and he has a European passport. Also, why does it matter at what location he was born? That's exactly the sort of nonsense logic that put the UK in this mess.
There's another one building electric cars and spaceships!
Greg. Sym.
societies do not decay due to lack of money, but due to gap between haves and have-nots and sense of alienation among the have-nots. may be you should give that a thought !
Jembii
that one does solid work; hats off to him, this one earns his livelihood by passing wind.
*****
we are reaping its benefit of cheap oil, aren't we ?
Britain will unify and prosper outside of the EU, just in time to watch America elect trump
Unify by losing Scotland and N.I? :p
Both Scotland and Northern Ireland will remain. There will be no more referendums and trade deals will be negotiated. Those kilt-wearing Nancy cunts are going nowhere
They took their country back, and lost Scotland and N.I in the process
Once again, Scotland and N.I are going nowhere. It's all talk. The only party in N.I calling for a referendum are Sinn Fein and the vast majority of N. Irish want to remain with the U.K.
Nobody listens to Sinn Fein
Im British and I absolutely love this I'm with you! No to Brexit. We all should work together for a better nation.
I voted out... I did my research and even with the possible 'geopolitical and economic repercussions' viewed that leaving was the better option. Yes, the power of the pound dropped... by around 13cents, of which its currently rising to remeet. As for the stock market the drop was expected; as speculative earning always shudders at change. However, those markets are rebounding pretty quickly. In honesty, I was expecting a worse economic shock.
For a lot of us, this decision wasn't about money or immigration. It was about a Trading Union (the EU) which has been slowly garnering more political power and stopping countries from making political decisions for themselves.
Globally, the UK still holds alot of power, even outside of the EU. We still hold seats in both the Nato and The Security Council.
The Brexit just means we have the right and the ability as an independant country to make and inforce our own laws again.
the media will fear monger and bullshit the mass public all they want. They're being so rowdy because the elite lost billions with Brexit. only reason.
Congrats, now you will have to bend over in front of EU to give you a few of the members only trade deals you took for granted back. Oh and you will loose Scotland
The worst has yet to come.. you are still in the EU. The real damage will come when you are actually officially out, when the actual situation causes the damage, not the speculation/anticipation.
I don't see how. If Britain makes light-bulbs and France makes light switches then they will trade with one and other. Politics has very little to do with trade deals because they are based solely around consumerism, which fuels economies. How many items do you own which have "MADE IN CHINA" written on them, even though we all know just how shocking they're human rights violations are. You want to bet that if North Korea or some lunatic regime had goods and services people want, that trade deals wouldn't be struck up?
Any trade deals made in the negotiations will have to benefit to all countries. Given the fact that the UK is one of the worlds biggest economies and has always been in credit with the EU, i.e. putting more into it than it takes out - i don't think it's much cause for concern right now. Also over the past few years British exports and imports have been increasing around the world, where as in the EU they've been falling. In 2000 60% of UK exports went to other members of the EU, where as in 2015 its was 47%. So a majority of our exports (and other service sectors) was done with other countries and continents - mostly America - which means that the UK's main markets are not in the EU and now the UK is free to open up trade talks with those countries to give and get better tariffs and trade deals - opening up the market and making it more competitive. Why are countries going to be buying BMW's from Germany, when they can get a Jaguar from the UK which comes with better import tariffs?
***** EU simply can't give you an easy deal, because then more countries would like to get out and keep their trading benefits. I have never heard any real expert (different from internet expert) say that brexit will make Britain stronger, its actually the opposite.
Day 47890 still don't understand why anyone would vote for Trump.
i think trump is just pranking us and all his supporters are in on the joke and if he gets elected hes going to be like "its a social experiment, hey its just a prank bro" and then he pulls off his mask and it's Sam Pepper
or becose that's the way to have her as a president; mind you: dumb people will vote for only because she is a WOMAN!!! IDIOTS!!!
+Barbara Wasilak nobody's voting for her because she's a woman, that's my main thing I hate about her
Chris wow, you are VERY sexist
+Margalit D. no it's just men always look more powerful, even if they're not, it's natural build, not sexism
John Oliver's way better.
Colbert's take on Brexit was quite funny, too.
But John Oliver's was gold.
Both Trevor and Oliver, i feel, have failed to be unbiased and honest about this event. The UK will have 2 years to work out everything which yes could become a bad deal for them. However, the pund taking is temporary and the PM said he would leave if Brexit happened. These guys paint it as if things are bad when everyone knew the begging would be rough.
Yikes! You didnt understand me at all. 'Go die'? Really?
Its true i dont like these guys a lot and thats because many major news or media outlets lie, shift facts or negate certain details. Im only saying that these guys, as well as fox and cnn havent all been fully truthful or honest about this story.
Sam Bee's is pretty decent too
yep... it was hilarious
"They come around scrambling for your vote, and then they, they get down at london and forget the rest" 4:43
making fun of working people pretty grim plus using remainer soundbites. hahahaha pretty bad.
you mean the fisherman who can't talk and fucked himself in the ass with the brexit vote?
mike casanave he still can't talk and i'd like to see him sell fish to a bankrupt country
+boss180888 The fisherman can’t talk? He clearly expressed his frustration. It’s not his problem if you can’t be bothered to make the effort to understand his accent.
Charlatans have taken this real frustration and used it to blame the problems on paper targets, in order to gain power. Most of the arguments for Brexit were fabrications and lies. There are real problems with the EU, but thinking leaving would solve anything is absurd.
it would be equally funny (or probably more so) if he was a nasa scientist. Don't look for issues where there are not any
are you saying working people are more sensitive and unable to handle it... whereas, well off people have thicker skin?
It's as if all of the UK jumped into the bear pit... "I immediately regret this decision!"
Thats what JP Morgan would have you believe.
I'm' currently working out how to make a nice bear skinned coat. :)
there is definitely an element of 'fuck it' about many people who voted. many just dont realise all the implications.
not to mention that companies are going to pull tons of jobs out of the UK so they can safely do business with the EU, and oh well then Brits can just go to Europe to work... Oh wait... they can't!!! LOL
JStank
- Nonsense. They said the same thing when the UK refused to join the Euro. Britain has the 5th largest economy in the world and only a small part of it is exports to the EU. Even if this trade was disrupted (which is very unlikely since the UK runs a trade deficit with the EU) it will not be a significant blow to the UK and can be easily made up with trade to commonwealth and other countries which will be increased because they are not prohibited from doing so by the EU. The truth is that UK was a market for EU goods and to cut off trade would be much more hurtful for the EU than for the UK. Just look at the stock markets. Every country in europe went down more than the UK.
I think the Brexit demonstrates that the world is more connected than we realize. Everyone is a stake holder in everyone else's success. We've seen past economic, environmental and warfare issues change the landscape drastically. I think people should learn about each other more and about the past mistakes. A problem in one area can have the solution in the other. The UK is jeopardizing the future of the Europe yet again. The other time this happened was in the 1938 Munich Agreement. #happytogether
+Skiballas the Great not particularly true. There's people, I'd rather not mix with.
***** do you realize that they mutually benefit by being together? lets say country #1 has 200k troops and country #2 has 100k troops. They do business together often. Ore comes out of country 2 to build country 1. But lets say country 3 has 150k troops and wants to take over country 2 . Then 1 will suffer since 3 will likely use it for itself. Since country 1 & 2 have a good relationship they want to make it more safe by being a partnership. They can further make trade easier if under one currency. If 1 invests in 2's infrastructure it will gain more security and a faster way to ship the ore that it's country needs. You may ask why not 1 invade 2 because war costs more. The people would riot that they want their soldiers home. Then people in occupied 2 may not want to dig ore and go on strike.
So the EU is actually a mutually made union that mutually benefits it's members in safety and trade. In a way it's like the USA of Europe.
-
*****
They aren't giving troops at all its a very firm alliance where the two are tied together. The UN isn't the best equipped since they get older technology. Additionally their main goal is peace keeping not to wage war. www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/images/PKD_Infographic_web.jpg
Currency can be a big issue though, That's the strength. If the EU falls try to operate a business with 27 other countries and having a exchange fee on top of it for each transaction. Its cheaper and easier. Thinking about this un-electable Bureaucracy it is kinda a mixed bag. If a leader is really horrible the EU could control them via funding. I personally think that it acts like a independent party with minimal personal attachment. Which in the US system is a very important thing to have because sometimes things that can benefit the citizens aren't done due to party differences. I never seen this EU bureaucracy yet so i don't have a detailed idea on how it works. Are these people always Belgians?
*****
The UN wasn't there when Putin was in Ukraine so it's not a full guarantee. Putin even said it wasn't his troops, if I remember right. Looking at that I do have a lot of doubt they would assist these smaller countries if the EU broke up further.
I mean they could do that if they want but the public wont like it. Some countries don't like the US air force bases on their soil. Besides morale is probably better when you are stationed in the country you are serving for. So it would be idiotic to put Greek troops in France. The EU is much more democratic in my opinion. I like how the UK elections are done. I know NATO could go away if Trump gets in and gets his way. In combination of the Brexit it could lead to a similar political situation in the 1930's where everyone wanted to be on their own. Which isn't the way we should be going.
I'm from the UK and this was the best piece I've seen on brexit to date. Summed it up perfectly.
While I agree with Trevor, I thought the snark at the North East accent was cheap.
Trevor's a poor man's comedian. He can only afford cheap jokes.
I'm poor? Damn....
Coming from a Geordie family, that joke hurt. It went too far, and if anything only proved what that fisherman was saying - they don't get taken seriously.
I'm in the north east and sound nothing like that. Chap was a Geordie that accent isn't a north east accent, Just like all the dicks in the north west don't sound like scousers. THANK FUCK!
Since Newcastle is in the North East, I didn't want to risk offending Geordies and Makems, so I played safe.
Money aint everything and if you voted to leave you got that.
big money and banks wanted to remain.
+Chris Hill ISIS isn't a religious sect at all! It's a new terrorist organisation like Al Qaeda.
48% of the country wanted to remain, don't be an idiot.
Yes it's composed of Sunni but calling it a sect gives it some form of legitimacy. It's a terrorist organisation and the vast majority of Muslims wouldn't regard it as religious at all.
being in a muslim country,for the most part,no one support ISIS,I mean you'll find desperate people get fooled by them,but so do people everywhere else in the world with every other exetremist group.
Trevor Noah is hardly a comedian and he's trying to make jokes about a subject he hardly knows about. all he can do is make race-based jokes.
but those are like the best jokes
lol I'm pretty sure he knows more on the matter than you mate
butthurt british moron farage supporter worse than trump supporters
+Mudda Hungry (MdH)
That's a bit harsh mate. Non-Brits will never really understand the insane political climate surrounding the Brexit vote (especially the amount of LIES peddled) because they weren't here to experience it - the same could be said of any foreigner trying to understand another country's electoral decision. And as for calling Farage supporters worse than Trump supporters ... nope. Farage is undoubtedly a total cockgoblin but he pales in comparison to that giant animated orange shite.
Regarding Noah, he's alright but suffers from comparisons to his predecessor, who was fantastic. I've never been taken with The Today Show since Stewart left and this clip did nothing to change my mind.
Cloud Cuckoo *The Daily Show.
but i agree.
There should always be a test voting one week before the actual vote....
But then nobody would see the market crashing. I think that the only thing that would have made them realize their mistake was if they did the real thing and they got just what the asked for. I will say though that there should be a second vote later if there's a lot of regret over it.
Yeah! Either that OR... people should take voting seriously.
yeap you gotta know how "get" the vote to where it ought to be, eh?
sinicalypse You think somebody has some magical tool the "get" the votes to change?
The problem is when people use their vote to protest when they actually don't really want to "win".
The compaign have been full of propaganda..it's not like the first vote is more "honest" than the next....
LOL... Like a practice vote. I agree. That way if the stock markets crash, you can always reverse.
Here in Britain we had a democratic vote to leave an undemocratic superstate, the same reason America fought and left us.
'No taxation without representation', remember that?
Whichever way the vote went, leave or remain, it's a bit rich all these American comedy shows that seem to think they know what's best for us. I'd get your own house in order first. America where corporations have more power than the people and money, as per The Supreme Court ruling, actually talks.
By leaving, we give up our representation, and no, our taxes won't go down except in the sense that all our money is worth 10% less now.
+Top Cat What representation, where and who said taxes would go down. I think you have misread my comment.
Nic Stroud You quoted "no taxation without representation". My point is that we do have representation in the European Parliament (which is not "undemocratic" - I don't know where you got that from).and the "taxation" part is irrelevant. Your analogy with American independence is fatuous.
Are you for real? In 2005 the dutch voted overwhelmingly by 61.54% to 38.46% against the constitution that would become the Lisbon treaty, and the French rejected it by 55% to 45%, the EU project could not stand another no vote so the referendum was cancelled in in the UK, all 3 countries were signed up to the Lisbon treaty regardless of the message that voters had sent. What would you call that, democracy?
The brits have a good habit of breaking away and being independent. All of this going on in our media is probably propaganda paid for by your evil super banks. It's fear and hatred that you actually paid for. Yea, we have become fascist and nobody even knows it. Take around all these people are misinformed and brainwashed by corporations that own media. Thanks to you they will soon fall. Thank so much Britain you did brave thing.
im english, i struggled with that fisherman :) something about londoners coming down here
“They come around scrounging for your vote, and then they get down at London and forget the rest.”
So yes, I would add:
"They come around scrounging for your vote, and then they get down tha
London and forget the rest.”
And my northener bf says it is either a Macam or a Geordie b4st3rd... :) (sad bc of the result tho!)
I'm British and a northerner (Scottish); I understood everything except the last two syllables ("forget __ __") but only because they were mumbled.
The only city boy fucking fishermen was Farage. He's the one who was in control of fishing quotas, he set them low for the purpose of impoverishing the working class so he could then lay blame broadly on the EU and the foreigners while he was the one who engineered their situation, counting on them not being politically savvy.
I could point out, having lived in a fishing village, the reason the fishermen (and fishermen were the largest group to support Brexit in Scotland) often voted leave was because fishing grounds are shared between all the EU members, but mostly because they loathe the fishing caps and rules in place which are very stringent (despite these rules ensuring that they will have a job in the future, by not almost killing our fishing grounds, which like we almost/did do to our herring grounds). It was also the fishermen not recognising that most of their market has been historically and continues to be in other European nations, such as Germany and the Baltics. Also, resentment that companies from Spain and the Netherlands would send boats up to the North Sea trawling, competing directly with them. But beyond that, they really didn't consider much: I know, I talked to a lot of them. And a few were just outright xenophobes and racists, but they were thankfully a minority. Add into that the belief of some that fishing would become a devolved power to the Scottish Parliament if Brexit happened (incorrect, seeing as it will be a token used by the government to try and secure deals that protect much larger British industries in negotiations) and you get a very mixed up, narrow POV from the fisherman vote, or at least that is what I observed.
great job Trevor. my favorite line, slexit . brilliant. thanks for this
The name of the issue is hardly the cause of the result. That is ridiculous.
I know, right? Slexit is a fantastic example! It sounds like something I would....want to name myself with.....lol
Mon Maryum The referendum was Cameron's idea. Now that his supporters don't like the result, they are blaming semantics.
2:15 when the whole family votes to prevent uncle Kumar from visiting
Its funny how they've shaded out Northern Ireland along with England. Scotland and Wales but have Great Britain over the map and he keeps saying Great Britain. Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, its part of the UK. Hence the reason its called 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. GB and UK are not interchangeable.
Well said my friend.
They will be if BREXIT is to happen! The earth/G_d/Aliens whomever protects their people when they are EXTREMELY abused!!!
Trevor Noah, ohh man how right were you! ""people is willing to vote for something completely crazy, because they think it would be better than what they have", once again theory proved. Well said sir.
In truth, the average Briton's life probably wont change much at all following this vote.
Actually it will, Osbourne has announced he has to increase taxes and cut public spending to try to help fix the economic downturn. That will affect us substantially, and the poor will be affected far more than the rich.
+Ashling Keane I doubt that the economy will take that much of a hit when Britain can now negotiate better trade deals for each country that suits them.
Except, of course, there's gonna be roughly 7 Million less of them soon.
The people who voted leave have pressed the self-destruct button on Britain. This will lead to the secession of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
Yes believe everything Huff Post, Salon and Buzzfeed tell you :)
Trevor is getting SO much better at hosting this show. He has come really far!
Wow, insulting foreigners; good job Trevor "I screwed the Daily Show" Noah!
what?
It's a joke, get it? He's been slowly running John Stewart's show into the ground.
*TRIGGERED*
I subscribed because of this video. no anger here at all. let more british hilarity ensue
i bet if it was john saying the exact same script, youll be fine with it. you're the type that doesn't like change very much.
ugh I'm so embarrassed to be English at the moment.... I hope we can get through this or i'm getting out, hey Trevor any room in the US? Actually... on second thought, America might be going to shit too....
Come to Canada, where all your dreams come true.
+Tornado 92 booking my ticket now!
If Trump looses, you can come to America
Many Americans might be moving up north too if Trump is elected.
well canda is alreay taken for aermicans when trumps become pres ! so u should go australia or somewhere els
Wow! i actually laughed at this, its soooo true! I used to be proud of being British, but when the votes came in to leave the EU i never felt so angry in my life. Now i cant wait to leave Britain!
5:12 Trevor's point about people feeling disenfranchised is absolutely correct. It's an important topic that could probably have a whole segment dedicated to it.
Fun fact:
There are around 11 million people in the UK over the age of 65. 83% of which turned up to vote making up almost 9 million 65+ voters. Now statistics suggest that around 70% of these voters voted to leave the EU. that makes up 6.3 million voters, now by subtracting the 30% of 65+ voters who voted in, being around 2.7 million we get a value of 3.6 million voters. These 3.6 million voters easily toppled the referendum in their favour resulting in the Leave win.
Whilst this in itself is fine, a few point points to consider are that the vote was only split by around 600,000 votes, it will take us at least 2 years to go through the full legislative process of leaving the EU, and around 500,000 people die in the UK every year the majority of which are people over the age of 65. These three factors combine to suggest that when we leave the EU in 2 years time, it will no longer be a democratic decision as not only will the Leave campaign's most valuable demographic have began to die, but more young people will be able to vote, the majority of which are in favour of Remain.
Basically what I'm saying is that the old, traditionally xenophobic people of the UK, who have benefited from 40 years of EU membership and growth, have fucked up a future most of them won't even live to see. Thanks guys, top job.
Very true. Thankfully I live in Scotland and there is a lot of serious talk about a second referendum on independence from the UK, so hopefully we'll soon ditch this insanity and apply to re-join the EU.
I think you'd have a tough time getting in, to be honest.
Murdo2112 If we must wait, we will wait.
kingkong381
It may not be a matter of waiting.
Many of the major EU countries have their own separatist issues: Flemish in Belgium, Basques in both Spain and France, Bavarians in Germany, to name just a few.
Most of these movements may be small, compared to that in Scotland, but none of those countries will want to set a precedent that could bite them in the arse down the line.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Scotland faced multiple vetoes for reasons of self-interest.
That doesn't seem to be the case. Watch the recent EU meeting debate in which a Scottish MP received a standing speech for talking about the EU and Scotland relationship. Besides, its basically a fact that Scotland contributes greatly in wealth, considering that Edinburgh is one of the most expensive cities to live in. If Scotland votes for independence its basically guaranteed they'll be able to join the EU.
He said 'scrounging' and 'down that London'. It's not a difficult accent.
know it all.
Tornado 92
That's me.
You're really fucking insufferable mate
+Tornado 92 no you're just a dumbass
Are you psychic?!? You are f***ing psychic aren't you!
The reason British people don't understand Brexit is because that's what the EU does best utter chaos and confusion.
Trevor is a genius, well informed and funny at the same time. if you that makes you not sit properly, lie with your stomach
That's funny, I'm English and I didn't think anything of that fishermans accent, when they were laughing after? I was like? Oh he must sound funny to them... Anyway carry on
He said "they [politicians, MPs] come round scrounging for your votes, then they get to London and forget about the rest [the voters]"
+Samuel Hopper *get down to that London* lol

They are not very left at all, they are just very dismissive, because they are comedians.
How the holy hell does someone not know what the European Union is? I'm a fucking American, and I know what it is.
Simple: they weren't taught it.
Brian Hicks we arent really taught about EU
its in history classes but since EU is politics they dont teach us that in school
if you want to learn eu you go to bussiness schools
i know about eu and my classmates know about eu because we are trying to get in eu and teenagers in my country are all about the latest news
Most people (Americans) don't care because it doesn't really affect them.. thats always been true
Unfortunately 😞
Michael Scofield. I don't know about other EU countries but here in Finland we were taught the basics of EU in secondary school or high school (Can't remeber which one. Maybe both)
As someone who voted in, I am genuinely stunned that some people didn't think their vote would count. I'm 18 and I'm fully aware of what I'm voting for and how important my individual vote is! So sad
62% of Scotland voted to remain in the EU, and remain we shall, even if we have to leave the UK.
Alan Sinclair UNIEXIT
I have a feeling this man is going to make an exit of his own in the near future...
exactly i also found the brexit title very light for a heavy decision
I’m watching this in 2023 and the last joke aged spectacularly.
So out of curiosity I tried to take a look at what UA-cam's auto subs can make out of said guy's accent. Well... it got 1 word right.
"The comment was growing up when you're bored and then the good donut will not forget us."
All praise the Good Donut!
The guy has a 'Geordie' accent from North-East England - close to the Border with Scotland.
What he said was, "They come around scrounging (begging) for your vote. And then, they get down to London (Parliament) and forget the rest of us.'
I come from the North East and I couldn't understand him.
pixel girl He's probably from the traditional fishing villages of North or South Shields, either side of the mouth of the Tyne river.
They have a a particularly strong 'Geordie' accent.
Eric Blair I grew up in a remote farming area in Durham... my neighbours could be pretty incomprehensible at times.
we did not learn....
Was it not called Brexit because its BRitain's EXIT from the EU?
Facepalm
Pretty much
HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
Correct, didn't change that it's the dumbest name for it ever.
names for things never are. people always come up with some bollocks abbreviated miss mash of words that just stick. often coined by the upper middle class in politics.
I dont regret my vote, but i didn't misunderstand any of it. I dont hate immigrants and i didnt believe the NHS would get 350m a week, i actually knew what i was voting for. I wanted to leave the EU, not turn my back on Europe or refugees, but leave the bureaucracy of the EU. Not all leavers were racist idiots.
Yet another funny American who has no idea what he is talking about,.
Actually he does. he is pushing his globalist agenda
He is probably paid.
I doubt he does it for free.
+Sure? _ that's what happens when someone tries to discuss another countries knowledge, when he doesn't even know about them
+Derp Meowslurp and destroying a working country
There needs to be a Trexit from the Daily Show.
"they come round scrounging for your vote then they get down to London and forget the rest"
The UK institutions were always complaining about EU since ages, so it is fair that they go on their way now. And have to say Europeans were starting to get fed up with the whining and bitching all the time. Patience has a limit, you know?
This was shameful, making fun of that British fisherman, when he was speaking the truth. He said "they come around here scrounging for your vote", which means he can see through the superficiality of the governments remain campaign. Then he said "They go back to London and forget the rest", which is exactly how 52% of our country feels right now. I don't even care if we become poorer, there are some things that are more important than money; namely democracy, sovereignty and a sense of our own national identity.
what the heck r ubtalking about. the fisherman wasn't saying any words
+Patrick Simmons so what is he vocalising
Democracy, sovereignty and a sense of national identity. This is exactly the type of talk during Germany's Third Reich.
Well not exactly. There are similarities which we should be cautious about, but Hitler went about his aims in a ridiculously totalitarian way, which is absurd to think anybody today would suggest the same methods.
OK, then. Good luck with your poorer, more isolated version of the UK.
i've seen that girl in multiple interviews... seems legit
yh she was on last week tonight
So that girl who besides sounds a bit thick is representative and speaks on behalf of all brexiters... Amalgam/Naivity?
She's an easy soundbyte to stereotype people who wanted to leave as misinformed, stupid and classless.
she just happens to be there whenever anyone's asking about brexit or did she give them her number or what?
+matenzo she was used in a lot of British media in the aftermath, and so it is hardly surprising journalists abroad found her clip easily.
Actually there are a lot of valid reasons to leave
-leaving means we regain sovereignty
-we have control of our waters so our fishing businesses with thrive
-we have the ability to open trade links with economically thriving countries, India, China, America without having to follow the EUs legislations on how much we can trade and the trading policies
-the eu won't cut trading with the UK, we import more than we export to them so they would lose more than us through making cuts
I'm only 14 and I know all this, not all people who wanted leave are stupid
I completely agree it's hilarious how they only crack jokes and show stupid people regretting votes rather than the bigger picture. The older generation voted out they were able to see the UK before and after the EU and they drew the conclusion the EU is a failed project. Only the younger generation/Millenials are up in arms. Basically people with no life experience or wisdom.
No they won't cut trading with the UK, but as we will be outside the single market it will cost us a lot more to buy these goods from the EU, prices will go up. Access to the single market is dependant on freedom of movement, which is why the vast majority of leave voters chose to vote that way. As for our sovereignty, the UK gets what it want more the 85 % of the time, and the legislation is nearly always progressive, helping the poor and making Europe more equal and a better place to live. As for the fishing thing, EU regulations are in place to try to preserve fish stocks which are being wiped out on a massive scale, if the waters are decimated, it's not just the environment that suffers, it pushes up prices and ruins the fishing industry. All the fisheries can think of is the here and now and squeezing the last bit of cash out, the EU is regulating it not to harm it but to keep it sustainable and going.
Trevor's original stand up is hilarious!!!! I never laughed so hard to tears. But now it is so disappointing to see him to become another puppet.
Propaganda
Brexit is no mistake. British people voted to leave the EU as they want control over who us allowed into their country.
what about the whole ireland open border?
James Bradley ... I see.
It's a mess over here for sure. But on the bright side, I'm not likely to get held down and shot in the back by a police officer....
No shootings. Just a poorer, more isolated version of the British "empire."
+ William Daza
Oh man, it's stuff like this that actually makes me happy that the world is getting worse. I can't wait until your bad decisions come crashing down around you and you can't ignore them anymore... will you be curled up in a ball in your kitchen, pouring boiling hot water from your kettle into your eyes screaming "... but we regained out sovereignty!" trying to convince yourself that you did the right thing as everything goes to shit? It's just a shame I won't be there to watch.
That's the glorious thing about being right pretty much all of the time and being a pessimist, I vote for the correct things and support the correct things yet I think your side will win the vote so either way I am right. But I only get to be smug when your poor decision making comes back to bite you in the arse, and I get to be smug quite often.
Promise you will post a video of you groveling and apologising for what you have done once you realise, because it always slightly annoys me that people who do such stupid things and ruin other peoples lives don't own up to it and instead behave like cowards until their dying days.
If you could offer a detailed explanation of what you mean by us regaining our sovereignty I'd appreciate it. Cheers.
I couldn't vote due to my age, and now I can't have the opportunities ALL the older people had gotten when they were younger. I can't freely move about in Europe, and have all the other benefits from the UN.
the market has recovered and it took all of two days!
Yes Kevin.. so easy when you look at the little diagrams and numbers going up and down
Except, the GBP has dropped 15% against the USD.
+meowmeow you do realise it almost went down to that level this February.
He said "gbp", not "gdp". Read first, comment then.
In sight The EU extends further than immigration and even with the WTO the EU governance would supersede the WTO if regulations regarding trade overlapped. Trade certainly will be hampered and there is no reason to believe that the EU would not sanction the UK explicitly or implicitly because of the exit in the near term.
The UK's contribution was high for sure but it is dwarfed by Germany and France either over time or in a single year. To say the EU "needs" the UK is an overstatement. And that is the basis of the market reaction that the UK will be penalized by the EU which is all too likely. Why? Because if you can exit the EU without ramifications then what's the point of having the EU?
17.5 million people do not regret their vote Out. There are obviously, some who regret their vote, either because they did not understand potential consequences (no guts for change) or truly did not understand what their vote was for. However, They should have done their homework, like the majority of us. It was not a vote for Racism or Anti-Immigration. I am Black and 1st Generation British Citizen. I was born here. I am also old enough to remember working and studying in both pre and post EU membership. I do not feel the so-called economic benefits of the EU, aside for the charities I have worked for, at times. I did not agree with Great Britain joining the European Economic Community (EEC) as it was at time of membership. Many business and industries suffered on joining. Many trades disappeared and new trades had to be discovered, or fostered, to replace them - we have become a consumer society, rather than skilled in industries to support our own infrastructure. No one in this country got to vote to join the European Union (EU) which is essentially a non-elected political party with a mandate to political union. We are not a nation of country yokels and please give respect to our populace for sending a strong message to our government that they are supposed to representing the electorate and not corporations who get fat on our shores without a trickle down to benefit the lives of the people that struggle to have some quality of life that we are told we are supposed to be enjoying thanks to the EU!
A stupidly over-simplified version of events. But then I suppose it is meant for americans.
If the EU was just a trade agreement there wouldn't be a problem.
Exactly. There is so much more attached to the EU that short term economical issues might be a risk worth taking.
I'm glad the Brits are leaving the EU. Always applying the brakes on humanity's most ambitious project for peaceful cooperation. Thank you.
i dont get it guys?? Instead of trying to fix the fucking projekt your part of and actually contribute, being a constant whiney dick about everything seems like the better option??
alexander Koch-Ribeiro Why would you try to fix something that is inherently broken? The EU might have worked as a trade union but not as some kind of social union with countries that only have to offer beaches and citizens that are so lazy that they don't even bother to handle their corruption in secret.
Why would anyone want to drag along countries such as italy, greece and the likes? They are 50 years behind in the technological sector and with a piss poor education system this surely isn't going to change in the next 50 years.
Wow just fucking wow out of all the things that might be wrong with the EU you pick something that is not only untrue but also completely racist. Congratiolations sir you are a moron. First of all yes it is true that in certain countries of the EU corruption is an issue and yes the government of said countries should be held responsible aswell as a ceratin percantige of the population who take advantage of the situation. However the majority of the population is actually being robbed and arent some kind of lazy fuck that does not want to work. One should also consider how certain countries like Germany,France and oh yes ENGLAND gain an economical advanatge because of the poor economie in other EU states like Portugal or Greece.
And last but not least you should consider the fact that im German and we pretty much paid the biggest chunk during the crisis, plus even though we could still do a much better job with refugees compared to you guys it kind of seems like your not even trying mate ;)
2020 covid-19 season. First time viewing this segment (a little too late), but I loved the message. I HATE politics but this show has made the knowledge and the importance of being in the political know attainable. Thank you 👏🏾
2:14 Brilliant!
That fisherman with the thick accent understands it all, the sad look on his face, it's exactly how normal people feel about politics/democracy... tired and fed up of working hard 24h/a day and being told that the economy is bad and that they're in debt.
For all the people moaning about the British pound losing it's value: it's just a short term consequence of the market uncertainty. It will restore in a while. Big changes like this always have a big influence because change means a (short term) uncertainty. Great Britain left the EU (not yet), but they are still in the European Economic Zone. Is leaving the EU actually better? I don't know. But the current EU is way way way too bureaucratic, big, slow and expensive. In order to remain the other 27 member states, the EU needs to change.
Yeah, they also said the 2008 economy dive was "short term," but that doesn't seem quite true at this point.
+Len the Trendy Tetraodontiforme Yes, but that's because it was good for "them" back then to state it would be a short term economic problem to make it look they didn't screw things up. Now it fits "them" (the establishment), to state the economy is going to fail, the currency is bad etc because Great Britain left the EU...
agreed
Bye bye to British natives in Europe, their hard work, great business ownership, lovely family and sense of humor.Good luck back home, finding work and an affordable place to live. Peace
MrBasinator Since when did change mean uncertainty. Uncertainty _can_ be a *result* of change, certainly not the definition of.
A South African telling UK citizens how to vote? Go an feckoff!
wow.....Trevor seems to have a bit of resentment towards the british....feel some of the tension in that clip....hahah
The best part is less than a week later the Pound completely recovered. Guess that money didn't leave after all, did it Trevor?
No my friend the best part is that you(and your 5 followers) are dump fuck(s) who cant even read charts.The correction you talk about has been covered 4 days ago, and as today, expected interest rate cut did not happen, but the pound kept dropping anyway, so wtf is going on
oh sorry now i see you use "completely recovered" to me recovery was 30-40% you meant 100% which is total bullsh!t. Now, you actually cant see that you are wrong, that is why people of certain IQ should not have the right to vote
Wouldn't say recovered
I certainly hope that you are just a dumb fucking yank because you have NO idea what you are talking about, idiot.
If you are actually British, you should never have been allowed to vote because you, sir, are a dumbfuck! Completely recovered 😨
Idiot!
I love how all these political shows deliberately avoid mentioning Nigel Farage knowing that he would whoop all their asses in an argument.
Trevor, it seems UK's economy didn't collapse at all after three months from elections. Did you change your mind?
if you're brit like me. don't forget your sense of humour while watching this. otherwise it turns out to be a painful watch.
hey look at that the pounds back up v dollar
Of course it is. Great Britain made a freaking mess, and the rest of the world has to try to stabilize it. Thanks a lot.
+John Smith Funny how nobody said that about the Swiss Franc de-pegging from the Euro.
***** I never said it was. How can one currency be in another? The Swiss franc unpegged itself from the Euro. www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2015/01/economist-explains-13
Everyone knew that the market would drop immediately following Brexit because many foreign based companies will have to leave London now. But thats ok because it will bounce back when the British companies that are overseas now have to come home to the UK. It will balance out in the end.
Regarding the EU, the UK has 2 full years to transition out of the EU. That is plenty of time for companies to move out and others to move back in. The people most effected will be the rich white collar workers and they can always find another high-paying job in Europe. Now many of the blue-collar workers whose jobs have been outsourced will be brought back to the UK and they can once again work in their field of expertise.
Finally, the UK was the 2nd largest contributor economically to the EU. The EU cannot "make any example out of them" because now the EU is weak. Germany and France will have to make up for the lag and it was already hard enough. I think the EU will fall apart because without the UK, there are now way too many countries that take in more than they give and that balance has been tipped. People act like there are no European countries outside of the EU that do well. Many European countries outside of the EU are doing well and so will the UK. It will just take time and not a long time either. When the trade deals are renegotiated and the companies move in and out, all will be well.

Wait a minute, the refugees brought cash in? Where? I don't see it.
The British Exit wasn't exclusively about keeping refugees out. In fact, it was hardly about that at all. It's going to keep out far more tourists from surrounding European Union countries because travel will be so much more difficult. So yeah. Your tourist money is pretty much gonna drain.
Not the refugees perhaps (though consider that Steve Jobs was the son of a refugee), but companies invested in Britain because it was part of the EU. Since it isn't anymore, they are going to leave, and may invest in Germany for example. UK companies too are going to leave if they can, or at least establish a bigger basis outside of the UK. Factories are going to move, because producing in the EU has advantages. And it goes on and on and on.
Yeah they want to be as close to the continental market as possible so they set up their manufacturing base in a country separated from it by a body of water with as few of the EU regulations implemented as possible and with a currency exchange disadvantage.
There are lot's of different groups who come to live and work in the UK. Some are from within the EU, some from the Commonwealth, some from the wider world. Refugees were held up as 'The Great Threat' all through the Leave Campaign, that they were ready to flood into the country en masse and threaten our way of life. This appealed to those who feel threatened and to the bigots. It encouraged them to stop seeing desperate human beings and start seeing 'monsters'.
But someone who arrives as a penniless refugee fleeing from war, life threatening discrimination or economic chaos CAN still contribute. As in the early days of the US, they come and work hard, really really hard. They more often than not end up being either self sufficient tax payers or building businesses that pay tax and employ people - who then pay tax. So yes, they contribute.
All the same arguments were used when people of a different colour were invited from the Commonwealth countries to work here, when millions were displaced during WW2 and even when the Vietnamese boat people arrived. They added to our culture and they contributed to our economy - despite initially being discriminated against.
Besides that, we're an island that has been invaded time after time throughout our history. If you did a DNA analysis of the whole place, you'd be hard pressed to find many full 'original Brits'.
littlewoodimp It depends entirely how you define original Brits, you can say a certain mix of ethnicities constitutes an original Brit.
"But lets move on right now-"
"NO. What the fuck was THAT??" 😆
And now we've got Brexit and the USA have got Trump. Ha.
People deciding their own countries direction, ludicrous. It's only a good idea when they vote the way you would like, right. How liberal of you, Trevor
OMFG worst host of a satirical political show ever
How perfect Trevor is on accent imitation! The perfect British accent.
All large changes in an economy will cause uncertainty and therefore a short term economic downturn. Does this mean we should never make an important change when it is politically necessary? Of course not.
Britain made the right choice. Down with the EU, long live the Queen!
Tyko Brian I am a Russian imigrant living in America. But I like British history and culture.
***** Now I'm even more curious. What did she bloody do for you guys that you have to go around hailing her?
Tyko Brian its just a British thing to say. I am against the EU and for Britain.
So long live the Queen.
***** It's a stupid thing to say. The monarchy is a plague leeching the nation.
Tyko Brian nah, the British monarchy has very little power and end up generating more money than taking in.
For countries like Saudi Arabia I would say off with his head. That's an evil monarchy.
Once there are no Donald Trump jokes left, Trevor's days will be over.
About 30 seconds before the picture popped up it became predictable where his joke was going
As long as Donald is capable of speaking there will be jokes, hell as long as he is alive there will be sinne hes a living joke
BadLuckBrian Highly unlikely. He was making jokes before the big buffoon came trouting out of bankruptcy. The clown is comedic goldmine all on his own- with or without trevor.
