@@cpcattin Better than what they had in which way exactly? A pound that lost 20% of its value compared to the USD AND the EUR? More than 4% loss of GDP resulting in a loss of 100 billion per year for now with an added loss of another 40 billion per year starting June 2025 when the UK loses the right to do Euro clearing? Newly introduced or increased taxes to make up for those losses? Food rotting in the fields and healthy animals being culled due to worker shortages in all sectors, be it picking fruit, processing animals, construction, NHS, hospitality, ...? Therefore farmers reducing their production since they cannot profit from it anyway, thereby making the UK even more dependent on imported food while it already imports 46% of its food and global food shortages are here due to climate crisis, the war in Ukraine and other factors? Loss of sovereignty due to signing capitulations to Australia and other countries which e.g. means that Australian businesses have now the right to sue the "sovereign" UK government should it create or change laws in a way that they feel diminishes their losses? Lowered standards of food to even get that capitulation? Lowered standards in water quality by allowing raw sewage to be pumped into rivers, lakes and the sea? Loss of worker's rights due to dropping all laws that originally came from the EU even if they had been introduced by the UK? Leading Quitterlings moving their businesses to the EU like JRM, Ratcliffe and others? Factories closing down faster than you can look due to Brexit?

I'm Canadian and Trump is all hot air, but even he was not crazy enough to rip up NAFTA or incite a full blown trade war with China. What the Brits done with Brexit was short-sighted and driven mostly but opportunistic politicians (Bozo from left wing mayor of London and Farage, a do nothing MEP ironically receiving welfare payments from the EU). The irony is always that nationalistic right-wing politics is to create an angry us vs them mentality to vote against their own best interests. The older gen. was nostalgic for empire 2.0, the poor chose it as an anti-establishment f u, and the racists were always going to vote for the anti-immigrant party.

First, US admins didn't have to tear up any agreements as they, in fact, can hardly be called an agreements - its forced trade deals where's bigger eats smaller - this is why Trump was so against China as outsource, as this particular trade would eventually eat up US economy (US is smaller fish in this one, just to point out) but he has failed in it as profit of a few "patriots" (in his party) was more important than benefit of a whole nation. Second, any right wing supporter is the same in any county in the world, undereducated, poor, frivolous thus misinformed or just mad enough to believe in right wing "blame others" crap. Unfortunatelly, they are also majority in every nation in the world... At the end, UK is just paying the price of neglected education system, neglected independent media, too long rule of protected upper class, where's average folks are left behind economically and used as sheeple.

@@Helloverlord well said, the entitled leftist elite simply ignore how important diversity and tolerance of others opinions are in a functional democracy.

@@alandillon968 you fell for brexit didn't you 🤣

@@chubeye1187 Ano! Jesus's, how wrong you are. Your flippant remarks may get you thumbs up but here is the reality? I voted to join the EU and to stay in the EU in 2016 Referendum. So in the UK I'm classed as a Remainer, I'm proud of it. Infact, I kept having discussions with people prior to the Referendum and have been called a "Traitor", "Traitors to Britain", "Traitor to my country" and "If I like the EU do much go an live their" etc. I was shocked at the naivety, ignorance of the British people who followed like sheep the Rightwing policies but worse Personality's rather than their policies or ask the big questions to every statements they made of Why? How? Rather than listen to the Evangelistic Politics of the Leavers of "Just believe in Britain", "We don't need to know how, we'll sort that out when we leave, you just need to believe in Britain", .....bollocks like that. In 2017 I sold up and sadly left my country, because I didn't like the Isolationism it was going. I disliked how the rightwings were acting with the exenaphobia and racisum on the rise. I thought Britain would be where it is today. I believed in the EU values more than where the UK was going. I'm still a UK citizen but I still live in the EU. I saw the split in the UK and realised it would take a generation or two for it to settle or one of the Leading Political Partys grew some balls and negotiated a better deal than "Boris's Hard Brexit" that he dreamed up, it was never a question on the Referendum form. I predicted,, there would be more paper work for exports because if outside you would have to prove you followed the EU laws, so not less, but more. I predicted that "British Laws for British people" the Leavers shouted, really meant 'Power Hungry MPs' who, wanted to reduce EU laws, not strengthen them. They would take us back to the 1970s just before we joined the EU with a return to polluted seas, air and rivers, they would, get rid of the 40 hour workers directive etc! So far been proved right on every front but sadly even worse than I predicted.

They still believe the NHS is the greatest healthcare system in the world too, so Brexit came as no surprise.

@@freebeerfordworkers Did I deny that that happens? My point was that some Brits do the same and expect to be serviced in their own language when abroad without bothering to learn the local language.

I personally could attest to eastern Europeans learning to or making the effort to speak a foreign language e.g coworkers from Bulgaria and Romania speaking German at comprehensible level.

The only Bulgarian I ever met in the UK spoke English, French and German equally to a high level of fluency, entered banking with no family background, worked incredibly hard and became a millionaire

You never know what are their circumstances and time they came. Maybe they just came and didn't have time to learn English. Learning a new language is not easy when you are past certain age. It's not easy talking to the native either, especially when they have camera on them. Maybe they feel like people will laugh at them if they try to say something in English and it doesn't sound good. There's a ton of things that might be a reason. I met many Bulgarians in Denmark and if they didn't speak Danish they did speak English. It's not like people don't want to learn language, especially when you know you don't have any other choice.

They did and they do. Interview those who voted to stay; they will tell you they mostly regret leaving. Ask those who voted to leave they will tell you they are mostly happy with leaving.

That’s not strictly true. The reality was that the promises made to each sector were highly tailored to them. Effectively each group was told what they wanted to hear, so they voted to leave. When the dust settled, for those a little more observant, it became clear that all those promises were mutually exclusive, hence all the inconclusive “indicative” votes in parliament on “what exactly is Brexit”. It was too late at that point. It’s easy to mock people, but the rage should be focused on the political parties that pedalled wholly dishonest messages and the media that did precisely nothing to challenge and fact check them.

Those scary facts isn't changed by an entitled elite and its ongoing relativism and demonisation of migration critics! That part of Brexit is your responsibility as well..

The German economy boom was only made possible through millions of refugees from eastern Europe after WW2 and millions of migrant workers in the 1950s and 1960s. They got on with the task and created a real economic fundament. No disharmony and blaming. The people of the UK do not realise that only working together produces results.

we have problems with integration here in Denmark, mostly all of the countries on the planet have problems, it's sad but true. Thankfully most of us don't get genocidal or stupid enough to shoot ourselves in the foot, unlike leave voters.

Really? Like where? Integrating European immigrants is far different from those from other cultures

Island mentality.

I'm Canadian and live in Toronto. My city's population is almost 50% made up of immigrants. We are quite open to diversity and regularly have high immigration each year. It's weird but it's almost like our diversity has proudly became a fabric of Canadian society.

Look, as with every other population there are varied types that come over. Some will be educated or smart, and will already speak english. Others are uneducated or less smart, and will find it hard to speak any other language, will probably work under a few of the smarter ones, and remain like so. Some people integrate, most don't. Look at all the British retiree immigrants in Europe. Most of them can not say more than 6 words in the language of the country. So much so that they call themselves "expatriates" instead of immigrants, which is what they are.

that's why brexit doesn't work.

Although I agree with your statements, I do not agree with the Leave voters. If they were wise enough they should not have taken their problems out on the EU, they should have verified the facts before casting their vote. They should have held their rogue government accountable and not keep voting for them 3 terms in a row. I would say it was a vote of spite and xenophobia and proving they cannot be friends of other nations that benefited them. It was an evil intention, so it punishes them through their government. They learned nothing from history that hostilities, xenophobia, fascism etc would destroy nations. We cannot keep blaming just evil Tories, blame the electorates who put them in power. Very unwise people indeed!

I regret to say this seems an excuse. The reality was a combination of frustration and crass ignorance. It was not the anonymity of the EU, it was anonymity that technology has created. Try to talk to any responsibility on the phone. The resentment, the frustration, declining services all transferred into a silly vote as a result of a lying campaign by the tenth rate politicians. And the people that persist in Brexit are just obstinate and they cannot accept they have been had.

It's very simple. Most people whose native tongue is not English will be exposed to English from a young age through television, for example. It is THE language to learn. However, if one's native tongue is English, which language should they learn? French, German, Italian, Greek, Czech, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian? The list is endless. This is not meant as an excuse, but the utility of learning English is far greater than the utility of learning most other languages for most people.

@@johnwright9372 Which is ILLEGAL legislation in itself. The UK has SIGNED the UNHCR refugee convention and is thereby obliged to follow it and thereby it NEEDS to accept anyone arriving in the UK to claim asylum. Obviously, the UK tries to sign treaties with anyone just to call them null and void at its will but that is not how international law works, be it regarding this converntion, the N.I. protocol, the TCA with the EU or anything else. All this shows is that the UK is becoming more and more a pariah state and more and more countries recognise this, e.g. New Zealand by stating that it will block the UK's application to join the CPTPP should it not comply in full to its obligations signed regarding the N.I. protocol since that would only show that any treaty the UK signs is not worth the paper it is written on.
