£350 million extra a week fot the NHS . Feels more like they are taking £ 350 million a week away fro the NHS . BIGGEST CONJOB IN THE HISTORY OF BRITISH POLITICS .

I watch many things on KZfaq, this another great piece & perfectly sums up the mind set of many who voted leave. We all now can see it for what it was, an opportunity for the rich & powerful to push back against many of the changes that the EU was supporting, changes that are for the common good, better protections for workers, protecting employment law. Greater protection from companies moving earnings to avoid tax !

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Mark Twain

There are simply so many commercials along the video that I couldn't even reach the half of it... It's a shame because it seems a good documentary. Do you have it in another platform besides KZfaq?

Very much enjoyed your explanation of how we in the working classes are manipulated and treated with contempt by producing this manipulative video screed, which treats us to vastly greater levels of condescension and contempt .... bravo !

It's vital that the real reason why the UK held a referendum on EU membership in June 2016 is properly understood and more widely disseminated. For those who believe the Brexit plebiscite was some kind of democratic event, ie. giving the British people a say in this vital matter, I can only say; "dream on" - you couldn't be further from the truth - the REAL reason was naked electoral calculus! In 2005 UKIP polled approx. 2 - 3% in National voting intentions - under First Past the Post [FPTP] this relatively small vote share was annoying but completely ignorable - UKIP would effectively win zero seats in a UK General Election with this vote share spread across the UK. However, over the next ten year period, the UKIP insurgency relentlessly burgeoned to the point where they were registering more like 13 - 14% of National voting intention by 2015. This significantly increased support for UKIP represented an existential threat to Conservative Party electoral prospects - why - because under FPTP this perceived hemorrhaging of core Conservative support meant Labour could win a UK General Election WITHOUT having to increase their National vote share - the split in the Tory voting bloc across a swathe of formerly safe Tory seats would let Labour in via the back door in these local contests! Conservative Party strategists therefore had to devise an effective counter to this very real electoral threat. This cold, hard electoral reality explains why David Cameron arrived at his cunning plan to offer perceived defectors from the core Conservative voting bloc a one off chance to realise what potential UKIP supporters most wanted - an opportunity to hold an IN/OUT referendum on EU membership. Of course, we now know that Cameron's strategy worked - across a significant number of key marginal constituencies where the UKIP threat to incumbent Tory MPs was strong, results in the these local contests demonstrated that enough potential UKIP voters switched their allegiance back to the Conservative candidate during the 2015 General Election, in the process providing Cameron with a very narrow 12 seat House of Commons [HoC] majority - most polls in the run-up period to election day had predicted Labour finishing with the largest number of MPs but short of an overall majority, therefore requiring some form of cooperation with other parties, chief among them the SNP - hence the Conservative election strapline "Coalition of Chaos" used during the campaign period, showing a smiling Alex Salmond with a minature Ed Miliband (Labour leader at the time) in his suit pocket. Closer analysis of key marginal constituency results reveals just how close run the 2015 General Election was. Across the seven most keenly contested constituencies where Labour finished runner up but the Conservative candidate became MP, the total winning margin for all seven seats combined was less than two thousand votes - it should be noted that in all of these seven seats the UKIP candidate recorded a relatively strong third place. It is not unreasonable to infer that just a few thousand citizens in these key marginal constituency contests changed their minds whilst actually in the polling booth on election day; 7th May 2015, switching from UKIP to Conservative because they were convinced that they would have a once in a lifetime opportunity to vote in a referendum on the UK exiting from the EU With his very narrow (12 seats) HoC majority secured, David Cameron was obliged to make good on his pledge to hold the promised IN/OUT EU referendum, which took place on 23rd June 2016 - the rest of this sad tale, as we know all too well to our cost, is history!

if it's true that the poor and disadvantaged voted to leave then it is a kind of cosmic justice that they will be the ones to suffer most from the economic dislocations that result

I don’t know a single person who voted for Brexit on the basis of something that was written on the side of a bus.

ahhhhhhhh please turn down the volume of the outro, great videos but you make me jump every time

Is there already a vpro documentary about CANZUK? How would this entity be structured politically? What are the ecomomic dimensions? What are the perspectives of such an alliance? Would be really interesting...

I am thinking: racists who struggle with acknowledging colonial and imperialist past. Also, it was actually middle class, and conservative voters who drove the result

Masterpiece, will share this.

As a "Yank" here on the other side of the Pond ( on the other side of the Continent of that Pond ), many of us thought BREXIT was the most idiotic thing we could have imagined from an economic, social, and cultural level, ...and then WE elected TRUMP. What is fascinating is that if you substituted the word BREXIT for the term TRUMP in this entire discussion, the graphs, numbers, suppositions, and projections would almost be identical. There is a profound transformation in the industrialized nations going on about what the term WORK means. The redefinition of what jobs are, who is employed, how much they earn, and who gets those jobs is going in the US, UK, GERMANY, and other countries, there is a profound redefinition of what it means to be an American, a German, a Frenchman, and an Englishman. The ever increasing change brought about by the influx if immigration from every corner of the world, disturbs, frightens, and angers many who were already disenfranchised. The changes to their homes, towns, cities, and this redefinition of incomes and types of work is leaving some individuals behind economically and socially, and others are wealthier and more secure, it has created a vast separation between the HAVES and HAVE NOTS and that does not appear to be diminishing. For those who feel the crush of this change, for those who see their lives, homes, jobs and the lives of their children diminish, then BREXIT and TRUMP become a life preserver that they swim towards in hope. BREXIT is TRUMP, and TRUMP is BREXIT.

"They voted against their own interests"... Any working class person who votes Tory does this.

Holy Shit. That's all I have to say about the ads.

Disaster, both for EU and GB...

8:37 look like Sylvester Stallone

Im Brazilian. At frist i was mostly confused about why the brexit would happen. The more i saw into it, the more complex i realized the subject was and IS. I realize this vídeo has an odd bias. Very on the nose, actually. But here IS the deal... I believe that most people outside the brexit deal would be puzzled on how to approach It due to so many cultural, historic and socio economic factors playing in. What i can say It is a very interesting case study of nationalism versus patriotism (in portuguese these are different. Maybe in english too). So many important historical and world defining events happened due to english intervention (for bad or good or however we feel about It) It makes Sense its also about identity. However... A Very similar thing could be said about germany, for instance. From an outside perspective, and for whatever its worth, It looks like Europe IS "too small" for so much unsolved problems, to put It lightly.

Brexit could have been avoided in one of three ways: 1. If Edward Heath had come clean about the intent of the European problem, we would never have entered the EEC in the first place. 2. If John Major had given the British people a choice on Maastricht, it would have been overwhelmingly negative and we could have stayed in a trade relationship (popular) without going down the road to European Federalisation (unpopular) or 3. If the British people had never been given a referendum. Which of these three options would remainers have wanted?

disputed referndum ? why do you say that? it is the duty of every voter to do their own research and make their own decision. To not respect that this is the case makes a mockery of democracy itself.

One of the funniest video portrayals of every remoaner stereotype that I've ever seen. Brilliant parody.

In the meantime, at the remain HQ...What?

Quite difficult to comprehend. " Vote Leave, take back control" but it seems that the working class is the main victim? at least from the narrative of this documentary. And what about the inside story of how the Leave campaign won?

not voting and voting is the same. someone will be happy and another person happier. while you the voter watch in shock. The joke is one you.

Boris Johnson's father came home from the pub one night after a few too many.

I'd like to say to the whole comments section. *HOWS BREXIT GOING!*

it happened because we the public were p****d off . Don't waste time on stupid questions !

23:30 Jesus fucking christ nigel farage is NOT responsible for vote leaves bus!!!

I will only believe all of brexit means to Adam Curtis.

If We managed very nicely thank you for 900 years without the EU and Europe, why can't we do it now?

12:49

Promises made by EU to its own people were probably half as bad and yet...nobody seems to mind it including the vpro. As somebody who was raised in Yugoslavia and know quite a lot about history i just can say EU has two choices. To force the people in one state and dismatle their local identities and histories (form of authoritarian centralism a la USSR) or be dissolved. Personally, i find the EU more and more a part of the problem than a solution and it seems like the EU is on its path to the second choise. Same feeling the people in Yugoslavia had end of 70', beginning of 80's. Reasons why this happened in its essense has nothing to do with nationalism butthat rather with a body (Yugoslavia) that had a lack of soul witch cant be kept in life by hollow phrases, shallow promises etc.

It was the queen who wanted out. It's as simple as that.

You people are sad. Excuses upon excuses. Maybe the EU wasn't in the best interests of the UK, and people saw the inefficiency and acted upon it.

Very happy we left the EU now we just need to send James O Brien there!

Boris didn't say 350 million pounds would but could be spent on the NHS.

When the so called "clever" remainers realise how they lost the refurendum they might have respect - maybe stop bashing the "thick" working class first and have respect for those around you ...

ask Cambridge Analytica

Poor souls.

God, just accept defeat, fellas! People wanted to leave! Move on!

Voted Brexit. Glad I did. I don't care as much what I gain or lose. I care about what's meaningful to Britain in 1000 years. Brexiteers voted for Britain. It's the Remainers that voted for their own greedy interest, with their "OMG Noooo! I won't be able to have a trillion holidays now! Which is sad because I secretly can't stand to be in Britain but just live here to use Britain for the safety and money. Oh nooooooooooo!" luv greggs love me chap luv pub not raysis. brown me self, simple as

This is total bollocks, Farage never said that 350 million would go to the NHS, And I think Boris has put a great deal more that that over the last few years.

Vpro- “partly EU funded” Not tilted nor biased at all 😂

Not a particularly insightful documentary..

Salty tears. Some people just cannot accept the biggest vote in UK history and also downright insulting. I knew exactly what I voted for I wasn't 'persuaded'. Middle class snobbery at its worst.

Now, my question, what happens to the liars? What happens to Farrage?

Pro-Euro tosh. Most people barely remember the leave campaign. Both campaigns were hastily organised and at the time were criticised for being lacklustre and weak. People didn't vote to leave because of Boris' bus, they voted for the gradual but incessant change to Britain, particularly since 2003 when the floodgates were opened to unskilled immigrants. There has been a noticeable increase in pressure on transport infrastructure, house prices, degradation of the education system, pressure on the NHS, increased competition within the job market, and an erosion of British social value. People never liked the idea of losing their sovereignty to Brussels (and eventually Germany). Britain's involvement in the original EEC was purely about trade and nothing else; that slowly metamorphosed in to being ruled over. Remoaners continually paint people who voted Brexit as thick, crosseyed poors from the north with a cross to bear, which is utter London intelligentsia nonsense. Yet you seldom hear about the 40% in London that voted to leave.

I took it very seriously I read up , watch Jeremy Paxman TV reporter who when to the EU he explained how money was wasted how the EU would move to France then back again , Britain 🇬🇧 was the second largest contributor. I wrote a list one to stay and one to leave my list with leave was twice as long , I made my own mind up to take back control of my Country leave.

The British have to learn that they have the same standing in the world as other small countries such as Denmark but without Lego and bacon. I am British.

The British people were right to vote for Brexit - so remoan off.

Farage never came up with the bus idea so why does this documentary blame him?

About freaking time. Should never have joined from the get go. Was HUGE blunder to join. Never benefited he Brits.

A completely self delusional projection... yawn

Feminist: why don't men have menstruation? Gender equality 🤣

Sounds like 2016 is the year for Britain and US started going down

Companies should definitely move from London ton continent

Never regretted voting to leave the eu but I always knew it would only be of benefit to GB depending on who was running the country. Brexit should of always been done by someone who believed in Brexit not these clowns that are in power now! They should of given the job to Mr Farage to deal with, he wouldn't take any nonsense from the eu and he has Britain's interest at heart. It still can be a success it all down to who's hands its in 🙌 .

So biased !!!

European countries are all struggling. Why isn’t each country helping each other in these times of crisis

James obriens callers are either carefully selected too make sure they're just as thick and ignorant as he is and/or they are actors. James obrien thought Carl beech was telling the truth ffs! He didn't do so well with Jacob Rees Mogg did he?

France, Ireland, and the Netherlands voted "No" to the Lisbon Treaty. France and the Netherlands' wills were ignored. Ireland was bribed into re-voting "Yes." The Brexit Referendum is the last meaningful vote that will ever be held - anywhere - about the nature of the European Union until the wretched organization implodes. The EU conforms to German monetary, financial, banking, trade, and industrial policy. The EU conforms to French agricultural and foreign policy (more or less, in the latter case), and its civil service is stuffed with French-style _fonctionnaires._ Eastern Europe gets subsidy and free movement from membership in the EU. What does Southern Europe get? What does Western Europe get? Ireland likes the EU (it is the most pro-EU country within the EU) because it psychologically needs to differentiate and dissociate itself from the United Kingdom, previously the European Union's Awkward Child. But why does the Netherlands, for example, want to be part of a Franco-German condominium and submit itself to an undemocratic supranational superstate posing as an economic bloc within the most economically stagnant continent? I realize that the Netherlands is _in_ Europe, but there has never been a period in human history when geographical proximity has mattered less for the potential of trade.

It is what it is, stand back up Britain and get on with the task of be a leading force in the world. With equality at the helm.

Is this meant to be funny or a parody?

Is this a joke piece. Surely this snobbery is tounge in cheek... isn't it?

What a terrible documentary.

Europe conforms to german banking and industrial policy,, french farming policy free movement from east europe ,less industrial, to wgere the jobs are. Subsidies for poor economic regions ,ex eastern bloc countries , a policy of levelling up ,in social welfare and health provision.. ,, All of the above you have avoided by leaving an opertunity to show thre world just how dynamic the u.k. economy is when not burdened by e.u. rules, and not able to sell to the richest maarket place in the world... still there is always the commonwealth and the ex colonial states ,we all know how they love gloriana, a new dawn of empire ,huzza for john bull, rock on !!!!!SUPPORT UKRAINE FREE AND AT PEACE

what control EU was not dictating British

I've never watched such patronizing shit in all my life. Do they think 17.4 million people believed all that shit about 350 million, it was just political tactics, I and everybody I knew who voted out knew that and they were also wise to the project fear on the other side. It's simply patriotism, pride, sovereignty and the ability to run our own affairs for better or worse that's why most people I've met voted out. Most thought we'd be worse off temporarily so it wasn't never an economic decision.

God, the narration is out nowt lies.

I haven't seen a propaganda film like this since I watched RT by mistake once.

Outside the university towns and metropolitan London the elites and multinational companies were all in favour of remaining as the were loving the low cost labour and free movement of people and money . The working class were ignored and exploited particularly in North and midlands of UK . The facts that the elites were in favour of Europe as the EU was of huge benefit to them however to the low paid and unemployed was looked at as a price worth paying for the Elites . With the immigrants it became a race to the bottom for wages and jobs . Working people and the growing numbers of the middle class are resentful towards unelected members of the EU . The EU showed exactly their stance against working people in Greece when the crippled the Greek economy, stopping payments at ATM , making loans to Greece then relaying the German banks who made the loans to Greece first of all leaving the Greeks still in a financial mess . A look at Spain Hungary Austria Portugal Greece Poland Slovenia the rates of high employment particularly with young people it’s a mess .
