Gary this is an excellent series. Calm, intelligent, conversation with people who seem to know what they are talking about. Good work - thanks to all involved.
Bottom line, in todays world things have become very integrated. We have so many complex ties to EU, it is impossible to just cut those ties quickly & cleanly without huge disruption to the English, Scottish, Welsh & Irish economies. What ever happens, other than staying in the EU trading block or closely aligned to it, is going to take a long time to untangle & sort out.
MR Spoon exactly, northern Ireland is on the frontline of this nightmare. Boris says TWO borders is now his solution. The UK now means the Unicorn Kingdom, where all sorts of fantasmagorical things are possible. Sadly, those things dont exist in the real world.
It is not that difficult. Split up the UK, Wales independent, Northern Ireland independent , Scotland independent, England can leave, the other countries can decide for themselves.
this is probably Channel 4's strongest format: having two people talk to Gary Gibbon as equals (who assume familiarity with the complex issues involved) elicits higher level analysis than when journalists talking straight to camera feel they have to dumb down their coverage so that the 'average' viewer at home can follow it.
From Ohio, USA. In all that I have been listening the last week+, my question is: Is the goal of the DPU and BoJo to return to bombs and Troops in Northern Ireland? Aside from all the other issues and there are plenty, I just listen and think, those old school Catholics and old school Protestants want to get back to the “good old days.”
Why not put it to the people of Northern Ireland whether they want to belong to the single market or whether they want to belong to whatever trade deal the UK will come up with
I would like to see a deep analysis of the formulation of the referendum. I would like to see a discussion about the questions that the referendum asked the people to vote and an analysis of these questions to see if they were comparable each other and with same weight.
Guys I think Boris deal is good - but having looked at the entire situation - I have come up with a way of Keeping NI in the single market and customs union, Ireland in the EU and no boarders between the two nations... which I think is a bit better than what our beloved Prime minister currently has... If you will like to discuss it - send me a message and I can make myself available. Advance Britannia...
As a Frenchman, I find it quite difficult to understand why the British people are so divided about Brexit. It was the choice of the People, wasn’t it? You belong to a great Kingdom that will survive and prosper whatever happens, be it a Brexit without a deal. Of course, if this is indeed the final outcome of the EU-UK negotiation, we will all have to brace for serious turbulences but they will only represent an epiphenomenon. In fact, I believe that these turbulences could even be greatly attenuated if you put a qualified PM at the helm of the Kingdom. I am not completely convinced that M. Johnson is the right man for such a task but I might be wrong and I am certainly not in the best position to judge that; the point is that the quicker you recover from the initial shock, the better for you and us. In the longer term, the wealthier the UK will become, the better for the EU as well. Your future prosperity will never be a threat for the cohesion of the Union because its existential quest has nothing to do with wealth.More anecdotally, I must confess that, as an aerospace engineer, I also find it a bit strange that nobody seems to care about the fact that some of the Aerospace Industry key players will want to relocate on the continent if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. For reasons which are apparently not obvious to everyone, this particular Industry is inclined to consider any attempt to hamper its supply chains as a mortal threat. However it is probably a detail, at the scale of the British Economy - it would certainly not be so, at the scale of the French Economy. Anyway, one can have no doubt in the capacity of your Kingdom to compensate this loss by developing other highly profitable sectors; the UK is and will remain a World Power.And, voilà, that’s it. We will continue to move forward on our respective trajectories. We will obviously remain Friends and Allies because the UK is not going to drift away from the European continent. In one century, the Union territory will extend from Lisbon to Vladivostok. The Army of the Union will be in charge of guaranteeing Peace on the largest emerged land of the planet, in total accordance with the will of its founding fathers (amongst whom, Sir Winston Churchill). This is the natural course of History. Obviously, drastic reforms will have to be undertaken, but there is no other way out, since we need Peace and since we are willing to impose it. Needless to say, the UK will be welcomed to rejoin the Union at any time and without any condition, if it happens to be the wish of the British People.The only thing that could threaten our Friendship is a UK ultranationalist government trying to demolish the EU project from the outside. Considering the level of hatred toward the EU that I perceive in the words of a few British ultranationalists, this hypothesis cannot be entirely ruled out. However, such a heedless attempt would be bound for defeat because its perpetrators would have failed to comprehend the fundamental reason that was at the origin of the EU project, that is to say, PEACE. If you do not fully comprehend this yourself, go visit the Verdun military cemetery, or the Étaples British military cemetery - these brave British soldiers have now become sons of France, by the Blood Spilled. These places are haunting all the minds, young and old. Once you have wandered around these rows and rows of crosses and unless you are not completely indifferent to human suffering, you never remain completely the same; sometimes their mere existence hits you back while you are living happy times and it ruins your day in a few seconds. I let you imagine how they have invaded the souls of the nearby towns’ inhabitants. These places are obscene reminders of what has been, a few decades ago, war on the continent.These same ultranationalists - be they British or continental European - will tell you that Peace was not the reason for which the founding fathers did create the European Union and that Peace is only maintained by nuclear warheads. My answer to these enraged people is that I am proud to belong to the People of France, a Nation armed to the teeth and resolutely ready to have any irresponsible revisionist answer for his acts before a Court of the Republic.Therefore and because of the imperious necessity of maintaining Peace and Stability on the continent, any attempt by an ultranationalist UK government to destroy the European project from the outside could and would not be tolerated; the reaction of the Union would be so coercive in nature that it would brutally force these fools to recover their senses.Fortunately, I believe that the risk of seeing such a scenario unfolding is almost nil because the British people will never forget what their soldiers were fighting against, in 39-45. After the Brexit, the great People of the UK will undoubtly recover the phlegm, the pragmatism and the politeness that the entire world has always been envying and admiring. Everybody, you and us, will then fully integrate the fundamental interests we have in cooperating on the right terms. Long life to the European Union-British Friendship.
This is so insightful. I now see no landing zone in sight. In theory leaving NI in the Single Market would work but only if Britain maintained regulatory equivalence. NI in, Britain out can work for goods but not services. Otherwise how could say an architect, a vet or a lawyer train in NI then go to work in UK?
@Benghali In Platforms Pure bullshit. The whole concept of the Belfast Agreement is the principle of consent. i.e. one side of community does not drag the other into an arrangement without majority in both communities. Allowing the DUP to decide the irrevocable future of Northern Ireland against the will of the majority is tantamount to tearing up the Belfast Agreement. This is anti democratic in the extreme. A referendum in NI on remaining in the Single Market would pass by a majority in both communities.
You miss the point we do not need a deal to trade wiith the EU they trade all over the world on WTO terms so why should we pay billions let out siders decide our world trade and allow EU nationalsd freedom from our UK courts when they breck our laws.
Forget the 'guy on the right'. Does anybody have anything to say on what they said? They put out all the problems of the backstop which should have been publicised before the referendum. For any other country to leave the EU it's relatively simple. For UK leaving the EU risks bringing the The Troubles back. The adult thing to do would have been to remain and make eu work better if you are not happy with it. Bit too late for that now.
There is no need for an Irish backstop if the border controls are made in English ports as they should be since it is a lot easier than at the physical border with the Republic. The closed container idea is not just moronic, it’s like a dumb joke. Oh well, the DUP would not support checks at ports. And Boris is giving the DUP the keys to Ireland. Seriously ? I say dump the DUP, get such a deal through parliament and call for new elections. The DUP played so much against Northern Ireland and for Brexit that they’ll get levelled out at a general election.
In all your considerations you don't take into account there are 500 million EU citizens who are totally fed up by the british chaos. And their patience is already strained, as there are many more important things to decide in Europe than this mess made of ignorance and arrogance. We'll push our governments to finally give you a kick. Promised.
Sorry James, the whole for Britain to be in the EU was economical. Britain never shared the political vision of the EU. It was Britain that essentially just made the EU into a common market and nothing else. So naturally talk is about that. These are the essential questions for actual people working and living in NI and elsewhere... it's not getting "hung up"... BTW, sorry for your bad hang over at the interview - must have been painful from the looks of it.
Welcome to the Unicorn Kingdom, where all things can be possible! Northern Ireland can have 2 borders whilst having no borders all at the same time. Thanks Boris & pals for this cunning plan
LLT Collection why dont they go with open borders in Ireland. Have everything checked in the Irish Sea. Then all they have to do is onboard the ships, which take a few hours of sailing, the UK can check the cargos & allow goods from NI manufacturers duty free into England.
If the EU ends up having qualms about kicking out an unruly partner nation refusing to follow the EU rules of the other member countries. It is the end of the EU. Vote SDP
As a linguist I might tell you that there is no such thing as a "game of semantics"... it's properly called misusing language. The terms in question have established definitions, using them otherwise is deceptive. The semantics can never be played with.
If from the 27 EU countries one gonna reject the extension in that case Uk gonna fall out without no deal. If Boris made a deal behind the scenes with Hungary in that case Boris is probably gonna ask for an extension as a tactic and when the EU countries gonna vote with one veto Uk will fall out from the EU without a deal. With that tactic Boris don`t have to worry about the House of Commons, with simply one single veto gonna kick Uk out from the EU.
Gibbon's "Where Next?" series is simply superb. A rarity in the inundated pop-news culture of 1-minute-bite. Thorough thoughtful reflections of insiders' insights, devoid of hyperbole & spin (thank God). Though borderline academic in substance and laced with nuggets of history - it is more realistic than most actual policy discourse. Yes, and that "inability to make fact-based decisions" quote, and that "MPs would probably vote for May's deal had it been secret" quote (ironically that's sometimes how EU hashes out quite effective beneficial policies - rarely mentioned - it's always bendy bananas huh?)
Well, as you are unable to behave rationally, the EU should under no circunstances allow you another useless delay so you could stop your usual bla bla bla and force your parliament to vote on a simple question. Leaving with mays deal or leaving with no deal. If you are unable to vote on such a simple question then the EU should kick you out for mental sanity.
how to undercut bojo's strategy ? very simple :-) long before bojo can choose not to ask for an extention, the eu grants an extension, saying that the uk can use it to work on the shaky parts of the deal... then if bojo says "no deal", first it's his fault :-) and then, hopefully, the pms & supreme court will say "no deal" is unlawful before the end of the extension :-)

Of course, if this is indeed the final outcome of the EU-UK negotiation, we will all have to brace for serious turbulences but they will only represent an epiphenomenon. In fact, I believe that these turbulences could even be greatly attenuated if you put a qualified PM at the helm of the Kingdom. I am not completely convinced that M. Johnson is the right man for such a task but I might be wrong and I am certainly not in the best position to judge that; the point is that the quicker you recover from the initial shock, the better for you and us. In the longer term, the wealthier the UK will become, the better for the EU as well. Your future prosperity will never be a threat for the cohesion of the Union because its existential quest has nothing to do with wealth.More anecdotally, I must confess that, as an aerospace engineer, I also find it a bit strange that nobody seems to care about the fact that some of the Aerospace Industry key players will want to relocate on the continent if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. For reasons which are apparently not obvious to everyone, this particular Industry is inclined to consider any attempt to hamper its supply chains as a mortal threat. However it is probably a detail, at the scale of the British Economy - it would certainly not be so, at the scale of the French Economy. Anyway, one can have no doubt in the capacity of your Kingdom to compensate this loss by developing other highly profitable sectors; the UK is and will remain a World Power.And, voilà, that’s it. We will continue to move forward on our respective trajectories. We will obviously remain Friends and Allies because the UK is not going to drift away from the European continent. In one century, the Union territory will extend from Lisbon to Vladivostok. The Army of the Union will be in charge of guaranteeing Peace on the largest emerged land of the planet, in total accordance with the will of its founding fathers (amongst whom, Sir Winston Churchill). This is the natural course of History. Obviously, drastic reforms will have to be undertaken, but there is no other way out, since we need Peace and since we are willing to impose it. Needless to say, the UK will be welcomed to rejoin the Union at any time and without any condition, if it happens to be the wish of the British People.The only thing that could threaten our Friendship is a UK ultranationalist government trying to demolish the EU project from the outside. Considering the level of hatred toward the EU that I perceive in the words of a few British ultranationalists, this hypothesis cannot be entirely ruled out. However, such a heedless attempt would be bound for defeat because its perpetrators would have failed to comprehend the fundamental reason that was at the origin of the EU project, that is to say, PEACE. If you do not fully comprehend this yourself, go visit the Verdun military cemetery, or the Étaples British military cemetery - these brave British soldiers have now become sons of France, by the Blood Spilled. These places are haunting all the minds, young and old. Once you have wandered around these rows and rows of crosses and unless you are not completely indifferent to human suffering, you never remain completely the same; sometimes their mere existence hits you back while you are living happy times and it ruins your day in a few seconds. I let you imagine how they have invaded the souls of the nearby towns’ inhabitants. These places are obscene reminders of what has been, a few decades ago, war on the continent.These same ultranationalists - be they British or continental European - will tell you that Peace was not the reason for which the founding fathers did create the European Union and that Peace is only maintained by nuclear warheads. My answer to these enraged people is that I am proud to belong to the People of France, a Nation armed to the teeth and resolutely ready to have any irresponsible revisionist answer for his acts before a Court of the Republic.Therefore and because of the imperious necessity of maintaining Peace and Stability on the continent, any attempt by an ultranationalist UK government to destroy the European project from the outside could and would not be tolerated; the reaction of the Union would be so coercive in nature that it would brutally force these fools to recover their senses.Fortunately, I believe that the risk of seeing such a scenario unfolding is almost nil because the British people will never forget what their soldiers were fighting against, in 39-45. After the Brexit, the great People of the UK will undoubtly recover the phlegm, the pragmatism and the politeness that the entire world has always been envying and admiring. Everybody, you and us, will then fully integrate the fundamental interests we have in cooperating on the right terms. Long life to the European Union-British Friendship.
Extremely clear vision on what is going on here
So there are sane people left in the UK media after all..
Wouldn't usually comment like this but he did say it twice.... Northern Ireland has a population of 1.8 million people, not 3 million.
But what about a secret ballot amongst MPs on a second referendum????
The thing about democracy, is that to be able to vote for an MP, you need to know what they stand for. How do secret ballots assist in that?
This is so insightful. I now see no landing zone in sight. In theory leaving NI in the Single Market would work but only if Britain maintained regulatory equivalence. NI in, Britain out can work for goods but not services. Otherwise how could say an architect, a vet or a lawyer train in NI then go to work in UK?
@Benghali In Platforms Pure bullshit. The whole concept of the Belfast Agreement is the principle of consent. i.e. one side of community does not drag the other into an arrangement without majority in both communities. Allowing the DUP to decide the irrevocable future of Northern Ireland against the will of the majority is tantamount to tearing up the Belfast Agreement. This is anti democratic in the extreme. A referendum in NI on remaining in the Single Market would pass by a majority in both communities.
It’s so clear that the very best deal we can get is the one we got now
You miss the point we do not need a deal to trade wiith the EU they trade all over the world on WTO terms so why should we pay billions let out siders decide our world trade and allow EU nationalsd freedom from our UK courts when they breck our laws.
Prepare for a general election "Let's get Brexit NOT in the BBC Christmas Schedule" slogan.
4:47 cant that guy keep his face straight?
Britain can Not be kept in EU prison because of the Ireland border 😠 this is ridiculous 😡
Forget the 'guy on the right'.
Does anybody have anything to say on what they said? They put out all the problems of the backstop which should have been publicised before the referendum. For any other country to leave the EU it's relatively simple. For UK leaving the EU risks bringing the The Troubles back. The adult thing to do would have been to remain and make eu work better if you are not happy with it. Bit too late for that now.
There is no need for an Irish backstop if the border controls are made in English ports as they should be since it is a lot easier than at the physical border with the Republic. The closed container idea is not just moronic, it’s like a dumb joke. Oh well, the DUP would not support checks at ports. And Boris is giving the DUP the keys to Ireland. Seriously ? I say dump the DUP, get such a deal through parliament and call for new elections. The DUP played so much against Northern Ireland and for Brexit that they’ll get levelled out at a general election.
For the love of fecking God can someone in the British media learn how to say "Taoiseach" Here's a hint it's not THEE SHOK
T-Shock? no - more like Ti Schach then?
@@kleinweichkleinweich Depends where you live in Ireland but Ti-Shoch is the closest
Mossie Gee Still, “Tee-Shock” is pretty acceptable.
@@vercoda9997 Sigh....no hard 'K' at the end that's the whole point
@@mossiegee4674 the 'ch' thing is easy -mach ich gern
Poor tired smart man. If he could replace all the sounds he made with understandable words, we would get more out of him.
In all your considerations you don't take into account there are 500 million EU citizens who are totally fed up by the british chaos. And their patience is already strained, as there are many more important things to decide in Europe than this mess made of ignorance and arrogance. We'll push our governments to finally give you a kick. Promised.
Tunnel of negotiations? Another deceitful phrasing. There's an ocean wide of negotiation possibilities.
The guy on the right makes me feel like I need to sleep, but I just woke up after 8 hours of sleep
I had no idea Martin Freeman knew so much about the internal workings of the EU! A man of surprises :p
Hahahahahahaha!!
HE DOESN'T.
@@malteseowl hehe :p
Nope!
Sorry James, the whole for Britain to be in the EU was economical. Britain never shared the political vision of the EU. It was Britain that essentially just made the EU into a common market and nothing else. So naturally talk is about that. These are the essential questions for actual people working and living in NI and elsewhere... it's not getting "hung up"... BTW, sorry for your bad hang over at the interview - must have been painful from the looks of it.
The guy on the right has been interviewing Jennifer Arcuri for the last 5 days..
Welcome to the Unicorn Kingdom, where all things can be possible! Northern Ireland can have 2 borders whilst having no borders all at the same time. Thanks Boris & pals for this cunning plan
We will blame the eu for the one board they will build, after boris mugs you of again. tick tock tick tock🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LLT Collection why dont they go with open borders in Ireland. Have everything checked in the Irish Sea. Then all they have to do is onboard the ships, which take a few hours of sailing, the UK can check the cargos & allow goods from NI manufacturers duty free into England.
If the EU ends up having qualms about kicking out an unruly partner nation refusing to follow the EU rules of the other member countries. It is the end of the EU. Vote SDP
The baddie from thunderbirds🤓
As a linguist I might tell you that there is no such thing as a "game of semantics"... it's properly called misusing language. The terms in question have established definitions, using them otherwise is deceptive. The semantics can never be played with.
If from the 27 EU countries one gonna reject the extension in that case Uk gonna fall out without no deal. If Boris made a deal behind the scenes with Hungary in that case Boris is probably gonna ask for an extension as a tactic and when the EU countries gonna vote with one veto Uk will fall out from the EU without a deal. With that tactic Boris don`t have to worry about the House of Commons, with simply one single veto gonna kick Uk out from the EU.
No. And he knows it.
My man on the right is monging it. Watching him talk is making me tired.
Gibbon's "Where Next?" series is simply superb. A rarity in the inundated pop-news culture of 1-minute-bite. Thorough thoughtful reflections of insiders' insights, devoid of hyperbole & spin (thank God). Though borderline academic in substance and laced with nuggets of history - it is more realistic than most actual policy discourse. Yes, and that "inability to make fact-based decisions" quote, and that "MPs would probably vote for May's deal had it been secret" quote (ironically that's sometimes how EU hashes out quite effective beneficial policies - rarely mentioned - it's always bendy bananas huh?)
Well, as you are unable to behave rationally, the EU should under no circunstances allow you another useless delay so you could stop your usual bla bla bla and force your parliament to vote on a simple question.
Leaving with mays deal or leaving with no deal.
If you are unable to vote on such a simple question then the EU should kick you out for mental sanity.
how to undercut bojo's strategy ? very simple :-) long before bojo can choose not to ask for an extention, the eu grants an extension, saying that the uk can use it to work on the shaky parts of the deal... then if bojo says "no deal", first it's his fault :-) and then, hopefully, the pms & supreme court will say "no deal" is unlawful before the end of the extension :-)
Mug you cant even work out what's happening can you🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕31oct
Why does Channel 4 always interview two anonymous men nobody's ever heard of? Where are the women? Where are the well-known / qualified commentators? These two guys have nothing of substance to say.
So refreshing to have people who know what they’re talking about
I thought I had heard all there was to be said in this topic until these guys showed up. Jaw dropping in the implications. All of a sudden everything gets even more difficult and stunningly fascinating. Even Dominic Cummings has not this level of nerdy detail.
UK votes to leave and the EU doesn't want to negotiate a trade border - they said it themselves.
Wow, what an insightful post that was! Oh hang on...
Just give up the colony. End of problem
Lets see Boris' new trade deal with America!
That he will NEVER get if he shafts Ireland. The USA is run by the Irish.
