When you're done with this video, do make sure to watch the TLDR EU version to find out what changes for Europeans on January 1st - ua-cam.com/video/VIUdcKEGCl8/v-deo.html
No major changes for the EU they get to keep FOM and just a bit more paperwork for movement of goods to and from the UK. When you have 27 other countries you can live work and travel to there isn’t really much of a change.
Great stuff, however to remain apolitical is to be merely an observer who reports that wich is obvious and superficial. A bit more push n shove along with your smooth vids. Perhaps a touch of journalism. Or is that too scary. Look at Julian.
Hi could u make a video in the other way around, what means this deal to those that are from EU living in UK right now or who intend to come to work in UK.
This is the reason I originally subscribed to this channel, no BS self promotion, just a simple concise distillation of a complex document that I was never going to read and how it applies in real terms. Great video. Keep em coming
No BS self promotion? You clearly having watched many of their videos, at one point they'd spend 2-4 minutes at the start of their video explaining how they need you to subscribe, how they have a new podcast and where to watch it, how they have pin badges and which are the new ones to purchase, how they are making a colouring book and whats in it and if you can purchase, like it was sometime up to 40% of the video I reckon. People got pretty fed up of it so I think they realised most of us didn't give a shit about most of that and they needed to limit the self promotion to just 1-2 items per video and stick to maybe 1 minute. But yeah, they definitely are into their BS self promotion, they just got alot of negative feedback on it so stifle it now.
@@samanibaba6272 Why is it not fair to complain? I don't owe them any loyalty nor do these guys deserve any charity or success. If they over promote because they cannot afford to keep going and that kills they channel well thats capitalism for ya mate. When a business does stuff the consumer doesn't like such as over promoting itself, especially with adverts within their content, its totally fair to complain about it, which is what lots of people did and caused them to change. They survived despite lowering the amount of self promotion so evidently there were other options they could take to stay afloat but took the self promotion route.
@Naithan Mellor man , you are thick. I don't know if you are aware that it is almost 2021. Autonomous cars, artificial intelligence and that kind of stuff should give you a hint where humanity is going and how much use we have for people qualified to poke the ground with a stick. That is why rural communities everywhere are dying. If you make an effort you can catch up with the calendar. I would also recommend exploring what's beyond that hill near your house, maybe the world doesn't end there.
@@jmolofsson You know Northern Ireland is still under the EU? And, why doesn't Scotland get sovereignty from the UK Government? It's all well and good saying sovereignty is good, but you can't pick and choose who gets it.
And he wasn't even recognised as such until way after his death. Not just him, but all those who worked at Bletchley Park - they were going to burn all the paper records in the 70s until someone said, "wait a minute, this is historically significant". And what did they do years later? They named a road after him in Manchester, and pardoned him. But a pardon isn't an apology or admission they were wrong, no it is forgiving someone a crime - "guilty as charged, but we'll let you off." Cold comfort indeed.
@@octowuss1888 Yes, he apparently did. But only after being arrested for homosexuality, losing his job at Manchester University and the MoD, and agreeing to be chemically castrated. So yes, he might not have been assassinated, but he was driven to suicide without anyone outside academic circles realising what he contributed to modern computing, and no one outside the MoD knowing about his war-time work.
@@octowuss1888 It is not really clear that he killed himself. There was no autopsy and no investigation. Furthermore the UK government had an interest in getting rid of him, because he had been the head of a secret service department and no longer trusted.
No upsides. Simply unnecessary pain just so people who care about symbolic stuff get their way. It’s also exactly the wrong time to deliver this with the virus’ true economic damage yet to come in the next two+ years...
No worries. There will be plenty of positive points like, like ... like ......................................... like ...................................................................... oh look a unicorn.
As a none-UK citizen, I really don't see how you're gaining anything from brexit. It kinda feels like you're moving towards a US styled Corporate-Apocalypse, cm by cm. Am I missing something? What do you stand to gain from this?
@@duhust9050 I think you are missing the fundamentals, how the EU reigns in corporate control and promotes human rights, how the UK dropping those protections opens the doors for more financial secrecy (corruption) which we already are super high on, tax avoidance, and corporation manipulation. I'd rather have the EU influencing UK politics than America corporations and healthcare companies. The US is a Plutocracy and the UK is pushing itself towards that more and more aswell.
I admire you for trying to understand these people but from one not UK citizen to another let me tell you. They don't gain much really. The current deal gives them a bit more of the fish quotes but the problem is they will struggle to sell them because they have to be checked at the new border. That cost will be added to the consumers. They can chose to deviate from the curent rules of some products laid out in the agreement but they will be applied tarrifs if they do so. This again will be a cost paid by the consumers. They will tell you they are taking back control over their border but they had this to begin with. In short Brexit is a scam. Every time you tell them this is the reality to a brexit supporter they will tell you that you just don't get it. Either that or that you will just find another topic saying yearh but ... this will be much better.
That's because you've seen nothing but remoaner media. The UK has removed the protectionist zone that the EU forced upon her. This means the UK can now remove tariffs to all non eu countries. It can strike trade deals with whoever they choose and they aren't forced to pay for european projects such as bailing out Greece, pandemic bailout, yearly EU fee's. Not only that but the UK leaving will help many poor countries as the EU has put protectionist barriers against them, that will also lower the costs of domestic goods. Overall this is a good thing for all involved. The UK has is now soverign again and won't have to pay for a european army/air force which is very unpopular here and the EU has the benefit of having the lucrative UK trade deal.
The Irish government has pledged to finance EHIC and Erasmus for Northern Ireland citizens. This is the Good Friday Agreement at it's best. The Irish government has prepared for the inevitable shafting of the ordinary people. To qualify for Irish citizenship for people born abroad, there are two avenues. The first one is parentage, either parent(s) or grandparent(s). The second option is naturalisation, live here for 5 years, go through the process and pay for the various stages and swear allegiance to the Irish Republic. Irish citizenship is automatically given to those born in Northern Ireland under our constitution (1938). Ireland allows multiple nationalities, so you can be naturalised and still have the original nationality.
The Irish passport is pretty much one of the best to have now I would think. Freedom to live and work in the UK and the whole EU too. Being from Northern Ireland is probably just as good, as this qualifies for Irish citizenship, thus EU zone too. Next best is being from any of the EU countries, freedom to live/work across the whole EU area. And lastly, the UK passport, now the most resrtrictive passport to hold on the whole continent. I will never understand why anybody would choose to do this to themselves, much less inflict this decision on all of their fellow countryfolk...
@@chrisgavin I have a cover on my passport and my children's to tell them apart for the boarding passes. Mine is pink, one is blue and the other is green. Colour is irrelevant, especially if you are colour blind.
But hey its what the people wanted. Less Freedom of Movement, less say in where they can go, and less freedom to trade abroad, less everything. BUT OOO they can swell with pride at how British they are (even though they had that to begin with).
not at all! the wise UK leaders forsaw the Covid19 crisis and did their verrybest to entertain the continent, with deadlines, clivehangres etc.... and I guess they have a follow up in the pipeline too,guess was called get deal on services
You know, Britain could have done it all by itself, as an EU member. I mean: different EU countries have different VAT:s. For example, here in Finland (member of EU) the VAT for books is 24 % and in Britain (during EU membership) the VAT for books is/was 0 - 10 % (the reason why I have purchased a lot of books from British BookDepository). Buuuuut whatever rocks your Brexit boat. By the way: tampons and pads should be ALWAYS tax-free. It's not like us with functioning ovaries have any possibility to stop menstruating, and tampons and pads cost a LOT of money. (No, doctors don't allow surgical removal of ovaries and/or uterus unless there are serious health problems. Believe me, I have asked.)
Good, now the same rules apply to them as other internationals. This was what most internationals students have to mostly go through when they study in most other countries.
Me too. Things are bad enough for students at the moment anyway, and now all this is added on top. If a government wanted to show its utter contempt for students, and the eduction sector in general, it would pretty much look like this.
Man I'm so glad we lost access to the market, the cheaper education, the easy holidays, the easy healthcare, the... You get the point. But at least we have sovereignty- and a blue passport. Makes you proud to be British, no?
We could always control our borders and we could have any colour passport we want. Those who think that it was the EU keeping us from returning to some 'golden age' where Britain was on top of the world will find out pretty quickly what the truth is when Bojo the bodger and his cartoon crew of bunglers set us up on the world stage.
Fun fact: If you have an Irish or other EU passport and live in Britain you now have more rights here and across Europe than a British passport holder. The UK government has literally made its own people second class citizens in their own country.
Well, except for the fact that the Home Office refuses to provide any physical way to prove Settled (or Pre-Settled) Status for EU citizens, instead relying entirely on online databases. Online databases, which have remained an obscure topic for the vast majority of people not directly affected, which means landlords, employers, bank employees and others who would require evidence of lawful residence are likely not to know about it and refuse to accept it. The government isn't exactly making things easy for EU citizens.
Oh, and also, there is a big backlog of EU Settlement Scheme applications (to the tune of 300,000) that have still not been given a decision, so that's about 300,000 left uncertain about whether the Home Office will even allow them to stay in the country they live in.
Really, the only advantage you'd have as an EU citizen in the UK, compared to a UK citizen in the UK, is easier travel to EU countries, and that's about it.
@@london_james it's literally the same. You still need ESTA, and a return ticket. You still need a passport, if you drive you still need insurance and international driving permit. + it's much more expensive to road trip in the USA, as you guys don't have the concept of cheap flights.
Hi Ashadow Reviews, I think you might have misunderstood what they said!, it was only EU red tape that annoyed them!, our proper British red tape is utterly different and far better!, the fact that there will be much more of it is all to the good!. Cheers, Richard.
It is kind of funny because one of the things Brexit ran on was a need to get rid of bureaucrats. But all this nonsense will increase the need for bureaucrats. I know they were talking about political bureaucrats and these changes might require a somewhat different mix of bureaucrats.... but still.
@@BD-hm3fb Six years ago they were bad people who stole everyone's money. Now... I don't know. Hmm... what are bureaucrats? I guess we'll find out the next time someone runs some sort of campaign against them.

@@jonescity Let's say it this way : being the stronger market the EU got more or less what it wanted ! As an American you should know how trade between weaker and stronger trade partners works. Happy New Year, we will celebrate a bit earlier than you :-) !
@@jonescity Yes, because there is no more free movement of people, goods, capital and services. People will need visas, just like any USA citizen moving to UK or vice versa. There is some sort of trade deal though, but it’s not clear which goods are exempted from taxes.
@@jonescity No. To put this in a context you can relate to; this is a bit like every country in North and South America having free trade and movement, as well as identical laws that automatically become legal when a senate of representatives from all those countries pass it into law. (in this scenario you, as a US citizen have no direct way to vote for those senators or what their policies are btw) The UK has basically left this free movement area, but kept the free trade as well as making our own government more accountable for the general fuck ups that happen to us.
But you don't have a Australia deal yet untill Jan 1st 2021... Because the EU has no deal with Australia yet. The UK wants a Australian style deal. So they'll have that soon xd...
And we can grow our old variety of apples and make lots of cider to sell to europe at an inflated price and our vegitables can be any shape as they will be cheaper because we won't have to throw away the bent ones. Charles De Gaulle did say in the 60s the UK would not benefit from joining the Common Market.
@@petermontgomery85 It is the notoriously fussy British consumer who doesn’t/didn’t want ‘mutant carrots’ on the supermarket shelves. Retailers followed the demand. Has never had anything to do with EU membership. I’ve seen representatives of both growers and supermarkets say so explicitly on multiple tv documentaries. Also, I just recently, over Christmas, watched a documentary about Britain’s biggest cider producer. They literally developed their own apple to have what they considered the perfect characteristics. (Yes, all whilst in the EU!) Can’t see them throwing out all that R&D for whatever you laughably imagine was the native apple we weren’t allowed to grow/develop whilst under the EU jackboot because reasons. 🤦♂️ And if all that stupid wasn’t enough, your spelling and grammar could use some work too.
Bendy bananas will be the biggest joke on the Brexiteers, all rules relevant to foods come from Codex (UN/WHO/FAO ) so the UK is still a rule taker. Shove that one up Uranus Bozo.
Why would the UK scrap VAT when they set it at much higher than the EU minimum? That was the UK'S choice as a sovereign parliament to have it at 20% when it was sovereign within the EU. I have yet to see ONE positive to this BS.
Nobody's scrapping VAT, it's about being able to choose which products VAT should apply to. The UK Government decided to put 5% VAT on sanitary products; something that the people now blame on the EU.
@@Doso777 what's funny is that fish is no longer part of the avg UK family meal. All of these ppl talking about fishing tend not to eat fish. National studies show that people who do eat fish tends to be frozen and not fresh, meaning a lot of this fish is from outside the UK such as cod and haddock which tend to be the most popular.
@@Joe-fn9mi As an expat living in the EU since before the Brexit vote. I personally don't want you guys to leave now just cause you want to escape Brexit. Its a bad reason to leave and helps create a negative image of us expats elsewhere I think. If you didn't want to leave in the past 4 years, don't suddenly leave now cause the deal was crap, you should move because you want to live in an experience a different culture or love another city etc etc.
It is quite a fitting representation of the UK's current Tory government, though, considering that people have committed suicide as a result of their Department for Work and Pensions' policies.

@@gymnasiast90 Not exactly correct I'm afraid. Since 2007 there is a EU wide limit on all items which is 4% (some publicise 5%, but I think the correct figure is 4%). Ireland had 0% tax on these types of products prior to 2007 and as such was exempted from this rate limit as it would mean an increase in VAT while the 2007 directive is aimed exclusively at decreases.
What a terrible mistake, denying Or making difficult for EU and UK students opportunity for international exposure and study abroad without silly paperwork, I am having a hard time how the UK will be attractive for qualified students, workers, investors to come over here and apply those skills here in the Uk
The rich will still be able to send their offspring to study anywhere in the EU. This affects those of a poir financial background. The rich don't want the poor to be educated, and ignorant nation is an easy one to control. Hence the reason school is only mandatory until u are 16.

As a small point, I am pleased to see the end of the “tampon tax”. But what many don’t know, is that VAT on sanitary products had already been amended in previous budgets, by way of a “worthy cause” stipulation. The VAT rate was reduced on those items, to the lowest that the EU would allow. And the amount that the treasury raised from it would then be donated to charities for the rights and protection of women - particularly those which help to keep anyone with sanitary needs in good supply of tampons and other products. I’m not saying that this means the end of the “tampon tax” is actually a bad thing. But rather than an innovative and generous option being taken, with this tax, the scrapping of it could now mean that some charities will go without a revenue stream. The idea that some of the poorest and most vulnerable in this country risk going without the basic essentials, under a tory government, does not surprise me personally.
@Naithan Mellor You say “at any price”, yet Tories are not any sort of value for money government - that’s been made abundantly clear this year, more than any previous time under Cameron, May or Johnson. £400 billion has been spent just on negotiations and preparations for Brexit alone, since 2016 - more than the entire total amount spent on the UK’s relationship with Europe since 1973! If you alone are willing to pay for that, then by all means sing the praises of these opulent onanistic oligarchs all you like! But the rest of us should not have to pick up that tab - especially once the *real* cost of this rubbish deal has been counted. In the meantime, feel free to work out how Britain’s 1 million+ food bank users can be fed with “sovereignty”. I don’t expect they’ll find it very edible!
Your statement “the lowest that the Eu would allow” says it all. We have U.K. vat set by a foreign country, not us. Vat on energy was the same. Is no one bothered that we get told what to do? Well it appears yea, we do care hence the leave vote.
1) Blue passports 2) UK is now free to become the Singapore of the west 3) Rich Tories and Farage can now tax evade 4) "sovrinty" 5) Blue passports (again in order to make the list appear longer) 6) tax free tampons 7) More fish. 2.35% more to be precise, in an industry that amounts to less than 0.5% of GDP Hope this helps!
@@comet315 You forgot: 8) making your own laws (apparently the EU was doing this before) and being an independent country (apparently we were not before). 9) 350 Million / week for the NHS. 10) Controlling our borders (apparently we did not do this before).
More bureaucracy, more red tape, more cost to import/export, more cost to consumers, no freedom of movement, the UK have inflicted sanctions on itself the first time ever a 1st world country has done this! I give it a decade (less as negotiations will begin before it) and the UK will be back in the EU.
Hi James Steel, I am a bit concerned that any future application to join the EU will be blocked by sound objections from within the bloc as to the UK's democratic credentials and willingness to abide by community laws!, we won't get in again!. Cheers, Richard.
@@ab-ym3bf not really as we didn't know the specifics, so there's only so much that people and businesses can prepare for, especially when the government is completely useless at giving that information out (like with their recent prepare for Brexit campaign, whose website just told people to wait for information). Yes the government could have done more I completely agree with that, like preparing adequate infrastructure for transport and border changes.
The biggest joke is that if you would study in let's say the Netherlands and you came from the UK, you paid a 1000 euros per year fee, but now it might go as high as 15K per years lmao
Nope. For the average UK population there is not 1 single benefit. Only ones who win are tax dodging elites that avoid eu tax avoidance clampdown and regulation. (Main reason for brexit in the first place.)
Easy. The UK can now get rid of the protectionist barriers erected by the EU to keep out competition from the third world and other developed nations. Now that we can lower tariffs or strike trade deals with these countries, citizens will see cheaper goods and businesses will be able to export to a greater degree with these counties. The first benefit helps citizens with cheaper goods, the second helps citizens with more export potential. Not to mention the benefits other countries will have from the UK leaving the EU, for third world nations, this could radically improve peoples livelyhoods.
@@fireman-phil7307 Wishful thinking, you are speaking about JRM and their lot. 60 trade deals to replace the same ones you already had inside the EU. Some of those are worse than the ones you would have inside the EU, like the one with Japan, as recognized by BoJo himself. You still have to sign almost 700 to match the EU countries.
@@lykurgofsparta2216 yes, way more freedom. More freedom to fill in forms to be able to trade, more freedom to buy extra travel insurance when going to the EU. The freedom to spend less time in the hated EU. The freedom to not follow EU rules emailed to us leading to pay tariffs. The freedom to no longer having to supply eu members with financial services. I totally get your point.
You guys have no idea how much better the UK are compared to any EU country. I am Italian, lived in Spain, France and UK. The latter is miles better than the others. When it comes to general employment is not even close. I am 100% sure the UK will keep in thriving.
When my sons were born in China, my wife and I faced a choice of what nationality to give them. We chose the British nationality over the Chinese one. That was 2013-2014... Big regret! But, I'm feeling lucky I also have the Dutch nationality I could also pass on to my kids. We're incredibly lucky to be dual citizens!
Given that services are a 79.7% of the UK economy, the important role of the City in the European finance sector, and the zillion of Engineering companies giving services to Europe from UK, I was expecting to hear something about the matter.

It seems to be beyond the scope of his video. The video is about the immediate consequences for the average Brit on their personal lives (especially when traveling).
I must admit after years of holidays further afield I was actually thinking of visiting France (mainly as I imagine COVID will still be a pain in 2021) but after listening to this I think I’ll scrap that idea and let it calm down for a year before trying to go.
Any online business selling goods from outside the UK to UK customers, will be required to register for and charge VAT at checkout. This replaces the current system of customs fees at the border for packages from outside the EU, and also means that there's no longer a lower free allowance (previously 15 GBP).
"You may face incrase questionning at the border" Never once when i travelled to the UK from France in the last 20 years have i not been asked "where am i going, for how long & when i'll be leaving" so that seems pretty standard already.
As a Brazillian, I went to the UK and cleared customs just fine. Ironically, we have the right to visa-less travel to the UK for 6 months whereas europeans will only get 90 days. Welcome to the club, EU.
Sadly no longer participating in the Erasmus+ programme will not only affect students. The programme covers a wide range of activities and sectors (vocational education and training, adult education, youth) that based on the little information we have the Turing programme will not cover. The UK is willingly giving up access to exchanges of practices, developing new learning programmes and giving opportunities to many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a result, opportunities to travel, study or work abroad will become a luxury only those with money will be able to afford. I'm particularly worried for some sectors that relied more and more on the Erasmus+ programme and other EU programme such as the European Social Fund to deliver projects as the UK government has been cutting funding at a national/local level for the past 10 years. I doubt any money 'saved' from no longer participating in the EU budget will be redirected to the affected sectors, and even if it was the case, there would still be a massive loss on transnational knowledge and skills sharing. This will greatly affect the UK's ability to be innovative and as always people with fewer opportunities!
Good point. However, the situation for UK citizens in Northern Ireland is quite complex. The Good Friday Agreement as well as the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement guarantee an open border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. I hope TLDR News continues to examine all this as the details begin to evolve.
Everyone in these comments is a student studying abroad for more than 3 months with a passport that's about to expire, a paper driving license, doesn't have that €7 euros for the travel authorisation needed in 2 years time but does travel with a pets and also takes a 100 day holiday in the EU each year, always bringing back at least 25 bottles of wine... Etc etc. And now their ordinary life is RUINED!
Lol who brings back in 1 trip more than 42L of beer or 18L of wine? Realistically those limitations only exist to prevent importers from bypassing customs/VAT.
You would be surprised.. You are missing the kicker though. You can't go to Europe and buy anything over the value of £350 and bring it back, without declaring and paying duty on it. They can buy whatever they want from us though, so best get making something......

So far I dont fear this Brexit thing at all, due to the fact that I have dual citizenship for the UK and Germany ( as a UK born lad ).... Seems like I can easily work and live on both sides.... but the one thing that scares me, is that darn virus thingy and all the restrictions
Brace yourself UK passport holders. Your holidays in Spain and weekends in Amsterdam will start with queueing for hours to clear immigration among your fellow travelers arriving from USA, Canada, China, etc. And if you forget your ETIAS... disaster!
On the subject of travel to the EU Schengen area. I am old enough to have travelled to Western Europe both before the UK even joined the Common Market and then following this to non-EU Western European countries in the years between us joining the Common Market and them joining the EU or the Schengen area. While it was normal to fill in a landing card and for the passport to be stamped (although some countries such as Austria and Switzerland didn't habitually stamp UK passports), but even when I was young and a student I have NEVER been asked to produce a return ticket or show proof of funds by a any country which is a member of the Schengen area today or questioned beyond the occasional 'What is the purpose of your visit' and 'How long will you be staying' but even this was rare. The requirement to hold a return ticket seems to me to be both outdated in these days of online bookings, low cost airlines with non-changeable reservations and smartphones and inappropriate in terms of the cost of such tickets and the means of the average UK citizen. It may be appropriate for, for example, Australia to want to be sure that a UK visitor could afford a ticket home due to cost and distance, but is such a requirement really appropriate for France? Similarly to be asked to show proof of funds to cover the cost of the visit is frankly insulting. The UK is after all a friendly neighbour with a high standard of living, not a poor third world country. The average UK citizen visiting the Schengen area should not be treated as a poverty stricken potential economic migrant. We know that we are not allowed to work or remain beyond 90 days, but we should not be treated in the manner of third world nationals but the citizens of a friendly neighbouring country with a standard of living comparable to theirs. The 6 month passport validity requirement is also curious. It is understandable for a country not to want a visitor's passport to expire during their visit, but as we are only being allowed to remain for 90 days why require the passport to remain valid for 6 months?
Why should you not be treated like citizens of a third country? You are, you have chosen for it. Why should you be different to any other 3rd nation of the world? Why do you english always think you are above others and should be treated differently?
Perhaps you could include some info on what will change if a person in the UK orders items from say an online store in the EU? (as well as what will happen if a person in the EU orders items from the UK, in particular when it comes to VAT and import fees)
In a nutshell: Brits have thrown everything out the window, in order to remove the tampon tax. Happy wife, happy life? Happy feminist, happy socioeconomic disaster?
The thing to remember is this only covers the changes from the status quo so the benefits are yet to be written, as they will be new. The UK can set it's own laws, regulations, tax and you can see that in how the vaccine process went but this will take years to see the benefit.
Growing up I never saw borders between countries, I saw different cultures with open doors to explore and learn. Does not matter about politics or financial reasons but for humanity, it helped me see people for people and not the country they belonged too. I don’t care if you voted remain or leave. I care about how it feels to go back to a time you only saw in books, a time before connectivity when people where divided causing wars and hatred to others that did not think like you and I’m meant to take peoples word that it was great. The Eu has its flaws but so do humans this does not mean we cast them out, we embrace them and help them onto the right path. Leaving the Eu feels like I’m losing a relative even though the doctors have a cure, I understand people have different views but just stop and really think about why?
The one topic that's be frustratingly not covered by any media, (and probably little in the negotiations as well) is what does all of this mean for british citizens who have lived in the EU for most of their lives like me. I've got my residence permit, but what if I want go work abroad? Am I a third party national or do I get to keep the benefits because I'm settled here... It all feels so unfair as I didn't even get to vote on brexit as I haven't lived in the UK recently enough to vote.

You're a third party national as far as any other country sees you. And if you do live long term in another country you may lose the right to return to your current country - though that depends on the rules of where you live and what status you have etc. Of course you could become a citizen where you are, but after tomorrow that means giving up your UK citizenship. Basically you're being punished for being British.
Doesn't the UK government still have to pass this deal? Haven't we already been in this situation before, where a deal is ready but the parliament doesn't pass it?

One thing you didn't mention but changes for Brits is the possibility to get a shengen travelban. It's not something most people think about but if you misbehave or a country suspect you will misbehave they could choose to deport you. As a EU country they had a protection from being barred from all countries = only getting a single country ban. As a non EU member a whole shengen ban is automatic. Sorry if I'm unclear, I think I translated everything correctly
It seems to me now The Uk is more fragile and less independent than before. Now you have see borders with Irland where France and Germany can fish freely ( just an example).
I love the deal. The disadvantages for UK citizens greatly outweigh those for EU citizens, as it should be. This is the next best case for everyone after the UK being a full member.
Reducing or removing completely the VAT on certain producs is not something we couldn't do before in the EU. Many EU countries have been doing so for years (e.g. Germany). So technically speaking, that is not a "benefit" from being out of the EU.

Yesterday, the Tory government has announced that from January 1 onwards, EU migrants won’t be allowed to cash in benefits until they have been in UK for at least 5 years. Another UKIP/Brexit Party policy the Tories shamelessly adopted. Nigel Farage has become the main policy designer of the tories in the last 4 years.

As a none-UK citizen, I really don't see how you're gaining anything from brexit. It kinda feels like you're moving towards a US styled Corporate-Apocalypse, cm by cm.
Am I missing something? What do you stand to gain from this?
EU BADDDD. SOVEREIGNTY, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY GOOD. Ones right to self determination in a democracy is fundamental.
@@duhust9050 I think you are missing the fundamentals, how the EU reigns in corporate control and promotes human rights, how the UK dropping those protections opens the doors for more financial secrecy (corruption) which we already are super high on, tax avoidance, and corporation manipulation. I'd rather have the EU influencing UK politics than America corporations and healthcare companies. The US is a Plutocracy and the UK is pushing itself towards that more and more aswell.
I admire you for trying to understand these people but from one not UK citizen to another let me tell you. They don't gain much really. The current deal gives them a bit more of the fish quotes but the problem is they will struggle to sell them because they have to be checked at the new border. That cost will be added to the consumers. They can chose to deviate from the curent rules of some products laid out in the agreement but they will be applied tarrifs if they do so. This again will be a cost paid by the consumers. They will tell you they are taking back control over their border but they had this to begin with. In short Brexit is a scam. Every time you tell them this is the reality to a brexit supporter they will tell you that you just don't get it. Either that or that you will just find another topic saying yearh but ... this will be much better.
That's because you've seen nothing but remoaner media. The UK has removed the protectionist zone that the EU forced upon her. This means the UK can now remove tariffs to all non eu countries. It can strike trade deals with whoever they choose and they aren't forced to pay for european projects such as bailing out Greece, pandemic bailout, yearly EU fee's. Not only that but the UK leaving will help many poor countries as the EU has put protectionist barriers against them, that will also lower the costs of domestic goods. Overall this is a good thing for all involved. The UK has is now soverign again and won't have to pay for a european army/air force which is very unpopular here and the EU has the benefit of having the lucrative UK trade deal.
@@duhust9050 As a UK citizen, I feel far more alienated by the UK government and our shitty undemocratic electoral system than by the EU.
The Irish government has pledged to finance EHIC and Erasmus for Northern Ireland citizens. This is the Good Friday Agreement at it's best. The Irish government has prepared for the inevitable shafting of the ordinary people. To qualify for Irish citizenship for people born abroad, there are two avenues. The first one is parentage, either parent(s) or grandparent(s). The second option is naturalisation, live here for 5 years, go through the process and pay for the various stages and swear allegiance to the Irish Republic. Irish citizenship is automatically given to those born in Northern Ireland under our constitution (1938). Ireland allows multiple nationalities, so you can be naturalised and still have the original nationality.
I guess this is one way to unite all of Ireland
One more step towards unification, it seems...
The Irish passport is pretty much one of the best to have now I would think. Freedom to live and work in the UK and the whole EU too. Being from Northern Ireland is probably just as good, as this qualifies for Irish citizenship, thus EU zone too. Next best is being from any of the EU countries, freedom to live/work across the whole EU area. And lastly, the UK passport, now the most resrtrictive passport to hold on the whole continent. I will never understand why anybody would choose to do this to themselves, much less inflict this decision on all of their fellow countryfolk...

You know, Britain could have done it all by itself, as an EU member. I mean: different EU countries have different VAT:s. For example, here in Finland (member of EU) the VAT for books is 24 % and in Britain (during EU membership) the VAT for books is/was 0 - 10 % (the reason why I have purchased a lot of books from British BookDepository).
Buuuuut whatever rocks your Brexit boat. By the way: tampons and pads should be ALWAYS tax-free.

@John Lawrence we've decided our own fate by leaving mate.
Fun fact:
If you have an Irish or other EU passport and live in Britain you now have more rights here and across Europe than a British passport holder.
The UK government has literally made its own people second class citizens in their own country.
Well, except for the fact that the Home Office refuses to provide any physical way to prove Settled (or Pre-Settled) Status for EU citizens, instead relying entirely on online databases. Online databases, which have remained an obscure topic for the vast majority of people not directly affected, which means landlords, employers, bank employees and others who would require evidence of lawful residence are likely not to know about it and refuse to accept it. The government isn't exactly making things easy for EU citizens.
Oh, and also, there is a big backlog of EU Settlement Scheme applications (to the tune of 300,000) that have still not been given a decision, so that's about 300,000 left uncertain about whether the Home Office will even allow them to stay in the country they live in.

As a small point, I am pleased to see the end of the “tampon tax”. But what many don’t know, is that VAT on sanitary products had already been amended in previous budgets, by way of a “worthy cause” stipulation. The VAT rate was reduced on those items, to the lowest that the EU would allow. And the amount that the treasury raised from it would then be donated to charities for the rights and protection of women - particularly those which help to keep anyone with sanitary needs in good supply of tampons and other products.
I’m not saying that this means the end of the “tampon tax” is actually a bad thing. But rather than an innovative and generous option being taken, with this tax, the scrapping of it could now mean that some charities will go without a revenue stream. The idea that some of the poorest and most vulnerable in this country risk going without the basic essentials, under a tory government, does not surprise me personally.
@Naithan Mellor no one cares, shut up unless you can come with some logic.
@Naithan Mellor You say “at any price”, yet Tories are not any sort of value for money government - that’s been made abundantly clear this year, more than any previous time under Cameron, May or Johnson. £400 billion has been spent just on negotiations and preparations for Brexit alone, since 2016 - more than the entire total amount spent on the UK’s relationship with Europe since 1973! If you alone are willing to pay for that, then by all means sing the praises of these opulent onanistic oligarchs all you like! But the rest of us should not have to pick up that tab - especially once the *real* cost of this rubbish deal has been counted.
In the meantime, feel free to work out how Britain’s 1 million+ food bank users can be fed with “sovereignty”. I don’t expect they’ll find it very edible!
Your statement “the lowest that the Eu would allow” says it all. We have U.K. vat set by a foreign country, not us. Vat on energy was the same. Is no one bothered that we get told what to do? Well it appears yea, we do care hence the leave vote.

Ahhh the biggest unanswered question.

1) Blue passports
2) UK is now free to become the Singapore of the west
3) Rich Tories and Farage can now tax evade
4) "sovrinty"
5) Blue passports (again in order to make the list appear longer)
6) tax free tampons
7) More fish. 2.35% more to be precise, in an industry that amounts to less than 0.5% of GDP

Nope. For the average UK population there is not 1 single benefit.

(Main reason for brexit in the first place.)
Easy. The UK can now get rid of the protectionist barriers erected by the EU to keep out competition from the third world and other developed nations. Now that we can lower tariffs or strike trade deals with these countries, citizens will see cheaper goods and businesses will be able to export to a greater degree with these counties. The first benefit helps citizens with cheaper goods, the second helps citizens with more export potential. Not to mention the benefits other countries will have from the UK leaving the EU, for third world nations, this could radically improve peoples livelyhoods.

I must admit after years of holidays further afield I was actually thinking of visiting France (mainly as I imagine COVID will still be a pain in 2021) but after listening to this I think I’ll scrap that idea and let it calm down for a year before trying to go.
Any online business selling goods from outside the UK to UK customers, will be required to register for and charge VAT at checkout. This replaces the current system of customs fees at the border for packages from outside the EU, and also means that there's no longer a lower free allowance (previously 15 GBP).
"You may face incrase questionning at the border" Never once when i travelled to the UK from France in the last 20 years have i not been asked "where am i going, for how long & when i'll be leaving" so that seems pretty standard already.
Now UK citizens will get the same treatment they subject anyone without a British or Irish passport to.
As a Brazillian, I went to the UK and cleared customs just fine. Ironically, we have the right to visa-less travel to the UK for 6 months whereas europeans will only get 90 days. Welcome to the club, EU.
you probably look dodgy then
Sadly no longer participating in the Erasmus+ programme will not only affect students. The programme covers a wide range of activities and sectors (vocational education and training, adult education, youth) that based on the little information we have the Turing programme will not cover. The UK is willingly giving up access to exchanges of practices, developing new learning programmes and giving opportunities to many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a result, opportunities to travel, study or work abroad will become a luxury only those with money will be able to afford. I'm particularly worried for some sectors that relied more and more on the Erasmus+ programme and other EU programme such as the European Social Fund to deliver projects as the UK government has been cutting funding at a national/local level for the past 10 years. I doubt any money 'saved' from no longer participating in the EU budget will be redirected to the affected sectors, and even if it was the case, there would still be a massive loss on transnational knowledge and skills sharing. This will greatly affect the UK's ability to be innovative and as always people with fewer opportunities!
2.22, This will not apply to Irish people, as Ireland is part of the EU. The Common Travel Area is seperate.

Good point. However, the situation for UK citizens in Northern Ireland is quite complex. The Good Friday Agreement as well as the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement guarantee an open border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

On the subject of travel to the EU Schengen area.
I am old enough to have travelled to Western Europe both before the UK even joined the Common Market and then following this to non-EU Western European countries in the years between us joining the Common Market and them joining the EU or the Schengen area.
While it was normal to fill in a landing card and for the passport to be stamped (although some countries such as Austria and Switzerland didn't habitually stamp UK passports), but even when I was young and a student I have NEVER been asked to produce a return ticket or show proof of funds by a any country which is a member of the Schengen area today or questioned beyond the occasional 'What is the purpose of your visit' and 'How long will you be staying' but even this was rare.
The requirement to hold a return ticket seems to me to be both outdated in these days of online bookings, low cost airlines with non-changeable reservations and smartphones and inappropriate in terms of the cost of such tickets and the means of the average UK citizen. It may be appropriate for, for example, Australia to want to be sure that a UK visitor could afford a ticket home due to cost and distance, but is such a requirement really appropriate for France?
Similarly to be asked to show proof of funds to cover the cost of the visit is frankly insulting. The UK is after all a friendly neighbour with a high standard of living, not a poor third world country. The average UK citizen visiting the Schengen area should not be treated as a poverty stricken potential economic migrant.
We know that we are not allowed to work or remain beyond 90 days, but we should not be treated in the manner of third world nationals but the citizens of a friendly neighbouring country with a standard of living comparable to theirs.
The 6 month passport validity requirement is also curious. It is understandable for a country not to want a visitor's passport to expire during their visit, but as we are only being allowed to remain for 90 days why require the passport to remain valid for 6 months?
Why should you not be treated like citizens of a third country? You are, you have chosen for it. Why should you be different to any other 3rd nation of the world? Why do you english always think you are above others and should be treated differently?

@@Gardstyle35 I know. Which makes this all the funnier.
The thing to remember is this only covers the changes from the status quo so the benefits are yet to be written, as they will be new. The UK can set it's own laws, regulations, tax and you can see that in how the vaccine process went but this will take years to see the benefit.
smaller tax on tampons does not mean cheaper tampons. It just means more money for tampon producers
Growing up I never saw borders between countries, I saw different cultures with open doors to explore and learn. Does not matter about politics or financial reasons but for humanity, it helped me see people for people and not the country they belonged too. I don’t care if you voted remain or leave. I care about how it feels to go back to a time you only saw in books, a time before connectivity when people where divided causing wars and hatred to others that did not think like you and I’m meant to take peoples word that it was great. The Eu has its flaws but so do humans this does not mean we cast them out, we embrace them and help them onto the right path. Leaving the Eu feels like I’m losing a relative even though the doctors have a cure, I understand people have different views but just stop and really think about why?
The one topic that's be frustratingly not covered by any media, (and probably little in the negotiations as well) is what does all of this mean for british citizens who have lived in the EU for most of their lives like me. I've got my residence permit, but what if I want go work abroad? Am I a third party national or do I get to keep the benefits because I'm settled here... It all feels so unfair as I didn't even get to vote on brexit as I haven't lived in the UK recently enough to vote.
Depends on your passport.
As European I want EU to actively tell brits they will get preferential treatment should they want to live/work in the EU. Based on my experience UK government is very different (worse) than the people of UK.
You're a third party national as far as any other country sees you. And if you do live long term in another country you may lose the right to return to your current country - though that depends on the rules of where you live and what status you have etc. Of course you could become a citizen where you are, but after tomorrow that means giving up your UK citizenship.
Basically you're being punished for being British.
