@@GCS88 I live in France and did so before Brexit and wasn’t allowed to vote but soon after was eligible to apply for a WARP resident permit. There are now people in Spain, France and Italy that travelled back to the UK and voted leave and now are only allowed to stay in their ‘dream homes for the allowed 90 days. These are the ones now moaning about Brexit, i as a french resident can travel across Europe with no problems, i can leave France for up to 5 years before it affects my residency. I returned to the UK last year to work, showed my passport and as expected it was not stamped. The people that lived abroad and voted leave only have their selves to blame

​@@bg3841Even though the Dover Port Authorities asked for ten extra custom booths years ago as they foresaw the problem of all the extra checks taking far longer and BoZo granted them a tenth of what they asked for. Furthermore, BoZo bragged about recruiting 500 Custom clerks, despite a previous White Paper saying we needed many thousands to deal with all the goods entering and leaving the UK from and to the EU. In comparison , Rotterdam alone took on 800, just to cope with goods to and from one city to country.

I'm a Brit, I never blamed the EU for our problems. And sadly, the Brexit cultists are in fact still blaming the EU for our problems. They will never accept responsibility for their own choices, ever. The EU will always be a big scary scapegoat for the Tories while they rob the people blind.

No, apparently not! We tried arguing with them, trying to make them understand they would lose benefits and a voice (kept using allegories of a divorce, of leaving a gym membership) but they would not listen...

'@@lenawagenfuehr53 'WE tried arguing with them'!!?? ha ha ha , Weve not lost our voice we've just got it back . You can take your corrupt, greedy, power mad dictatorship & stick it where the sun dont shine!!! The UK will be around well after the hated bloc is gone and forgotten .

This is it basically. Lies. Politics and economics are complicated. Not everyone has the education, desire or time to really look into these things. We all need to defer to other people's expertise, and we all underestimated the extent the Brexiteers were out to deceive. Farage knew we didn't send 350 million to the EU every week, and he knew leaving the EU would not bring those 350 million into the NHS. But many Brits believed those lies. What they wanted was a good thing. They were just deprived of a meaningful vote, because all the dishonesty made it impossible for us to really know what we were voting for or against. There needs to be repercussions for this sort of thing. It undermines democracy itself and until people like Farage suffer some personal consequences, such deceptions will continue.

Who would have believed something so silly however, it was far cheaper to have more centralized processes. Efficiency saves money. The UK left the EU for two reasons the first a segment of their society is sorely lacking in education and overall knowledge as to how the world runs and secondly they bought into hate towards others being a problem and that immigrants somehow took something from them. It’s sad and pathetic and shameful.

@@lijohnyoutube101 And most people claiming benefits are actually English. Truthfully, the proportion of migrants relying on unemployment or disability benefits is very small in comparison. Fact. They want a job - even if to send money back home.

Millions sent to Rwanda is just one example .

Don't blame the politicians. It was a choice of adult voters to accept the known uncertainties for the greater good. They consciously decided to "take back control".

The EU is a failing "project" and the UK is better off being free of the wreckage when it all comes crashing down.

Mackems have never been a bright bunch

No they haven’t, name all the business’s affected?

@@lestrem11 All business's trading with the EU face reams of paperwork and costly delays.

@@lestrem11 Well, I live in France and I can tell you numerous businesses that I used to trade with in the UK (building, construction, automotive etc), no longer trade with Europe as their economies of scale wouldn't allow it to cover the extra expense/hassle/paperwork. Just last summer I placed an order with a UK company worth €9k. One order. The order took just one week to ship, but was diverted to Germany, returned to the UK, then made it to France where it was held by customs until all duty was cleared. Three months. Company stated they'd never trade with the EU again. I also worked as European sales director for a UK firm that worked in construction. Prior to Brexit, 30% of its total sales £20m+/year, was to the EU. They closed their European arm because of post Brexit paperwork and I was made redundant. What's more, I live in an area of France with a very high percentage of expat Brits with businesses. As was allowed by EU rules at the time, many had their companies in the UK not France. As their tax status was British, they had no right to stay in Europe (only fully tax resident foreigners could) and they were forced to return to the UK. As their businesses were entirely based on tourism (B&Bs, cycling holidays, skiing etc) within this region, they had to shut down. No opportunity to keep the business open and run it from the UK. People who'd worked for YEARS setting them up, establishing a client base, a network of local contacts etc. Small, independent businesses. I heard from the local chamber of commerce that in one town alone, 30% of these types of business closed. And families (and employees) many of whom had been here quite legally under EU law for years (kids at school etc, networks of friends, possibly home owners) for as much as two decades, had to leave. And some were friends, this is not some kind of mythical story. And this was repeated across France, Italy, Spain and all other regions with large expat communities trying to make a go of things, and likely at a very bread and butter level. Also my main role since I moved to France 17 years ago was in real estate sales and as the British/Anglophone specialist. I can tell you that the number of Brits buying property in France has dropped, by a lot and did so over night. There is absolutely no other reason they wouldn't still be buying in this region otherwise. Brits used to account for 50% of buyers, now it's closer to 15%. Finally, we used to buy a lot of stuff from the UK for personal reasons. For example I have a classic car I maintain personally. Parts from the UK were more abundant and cheaper. Now they're vastly more expensive and as per my example above, I risk all kinds of problems with customs etc. So I no longer buy from the UK. Simply not worth the aggro. I can guarantee that that is replicated thousands of times over across the EU (whether expats or Europeans) who used to buy from UK suppliers and no longer do so. Perhaps they've not gone bust, but many will have suffered some loss of revenue to a greater or lesser degree. So I no longer trade with the UK, friends no longer trade with the UK, I have friends who were forced to close their independent businesses and leave the EU, I have seen a net drop in UK buyers in my sector directly as a result of Brexit regs (3 month rule) and finally a company I worked for closed its European arm, and I was made redundant directly as a result of Brexit. Is that enough examples for you?

If they come back this time no "opt out". They have to joint the Euro, they have to join Schengen zone. And all the other things that other members are willing to sacrifice for playing in a team!

The EU would accept Britain back at some point in the future, but definitely not now. They have no interest in working with the Tories after the way they bungled Brexit. And now that Britain is out, it just isn't that important anymore. There are bigger issues for the EU to handle.

Brexit actually benefit the EU... lots of business moved out of the UK to France and other countries, and due to the clusterf*ck that Brexit revealed itself to be (unsurprisingly), decreased the "leave" sentiments from other EU states. I don't see why would the EU accept the UK back. I just hope that Scotland manages to get independence, and I'm certain the EU will receive them with open arms.

Not wanting to be told what to do by a globalist cabal in Brussels is not the same as wanting to tell anyone else what to do. Have fun with the cabal, they are all yours now.

British expat here. I think there is a good chance Great Britain / UK will split up: a united Ireland (already in the EU), Scotland (overwhelmingly wants to be in EU), England and Wales. These small countries will have about as much in common with the Great Britain Colonial Superpower of two centuries ago as modern Italy does with the Roman Empire. They will need to join the EU as much more junior and compliant partners to have any chance of prosperity. I think the British military and nuclear power as we know it today could well cease to exist, consigned to history within 20 years. The British military support of the Ukrainian fight for freedom is probably their last hurrah.

I am English, and unfortunately this is a side to the country I am embarrassed by. I think it was also fuelled by sensationalist media and certain political personalities playing into people's vulnerable economic situations for decades, baselessly putting blame on EU membership and external affairs for the problems in more deprived and segregated parts of the UK. Before Brexit, I didn't particularly mind saying I was English, but since then, I suppose I have become more aware of the problems of this identity. It will take a few generations maybe, for the delusion of being a 'global power' to become more diluted as a part of the identity

The uk has always been the sick man of Europe. No “again” about it

@@Felix-rising The situation had improved though while it was a member of the EU. Just look at how sick the UK now deals with its sewage which would not be possible under EU regulations - and also how much the UK's GDP lost through Brexit, not only a pound that is worth 20% less but also at least 4% less GDP which results in every Briton being 1000 pounds per year poorer, hence the increased taxation to somehow get a substitute for the lost tax revenue.

Shame you don’t remember the time when Britain was independent of Europe.

@@geoffbirchall7552 When the UK was last independent from Europe it was known as the sick man of Europe it is quickly returning to that situation.

@@geoffbirchall7552 Oh, sweetie. You realize your inability to present a single way in which your mawkish nostalgia actually possessed any material benefits demonstrates both that you know you can't support your white-supremacist Brexiteer nonsense and that you're too cowardly to cop to your obvious lies?

The Scottish, whose vote not to pursue independence was also explicitly based on a promise from David Cameron and the Tories that the UK would not leave the EU.

@@geoffbirchall7552 Looke it up..Sick man of Europe

Indeed 😏

I think in maybe 10-20 years the EU will be ready to welcome the UK back, but we definitely won't be in a position to make any demands. Our economic position has declined dramatically, we're no longer the primary banking and trading hub we were and that's going to decline further in the years to come. By the time we're begging to be let back in the EU could demand all kinds of things and we'll be happy to oblige.

​@@ct5625not entirely sure that we would ever apply to rejoin , nothing is certain in this world , I speak as someone who , all those years ago voted to join , and later voted to remain, I am at an age where I can , with hindsight remember many things that were forecast as certain but ultimately were turned upon their head . The doom merchants may , in fact be proved right , certainly in the short term , as I indicated nothing is certain , Britain along with its people has a long history of overcoming dire adversity, this may or may not be the case in this instance but with the passage of time who knows ? There are rumblings within the EU itself and absolutely nothing lasts forever not even that organisation , nothing is as constant as change that applies to the UK and the EU ,things may ,as has been said get steadily worse or by the same token improve , I would sincerely hope so but , unfortunately I more tha probably will not be around to witness it.

We don't want the UK back.

We don't want the UK back because we need to be united, we should make an example of them

Doesn’t need to WE LEFT GET OVER IT.

nonU.K countries will have to wrest back their fate/destiny from their past erroneous decisions, to join it. Ireland and Spain are continuing to drive off of cliffs.

I agree: essentially, these idiots are saying that Brexit would have worked if only the world were different from what it actually is.

Covid and then Ukraine were convenient and lucky in a way, for the tories and leavers. They can't hide behind it because EU have had the same stresses and still thrive... Look at Ireland. We look like a third world country now, compared to Ireland.

@@ednawelthorpe5578 They've got the same inflation as us. Caused by remain now you mention it.

We did anticipate ukř. That's why any sane person voted brexit because we didn't want the same thing to happen here. Did you?

I think a successful assasination attempt on Rupert Murdoch wouldn't hurt either. The amazing xenophobic output of that media mogul combined with the arrogant isolation of the country which was responsible for the planet's largest Empire were a truly toxic combination. Everyone was duped and now the many stooges stare at the desolate wasteland of the UK making the shocked Pikachu face and asking how this all could have possibly happened.

People need to be educated?? What's your surname sugar titz Mao?

@@toddnorman1343 ...'Todd the tinhat', oh my not the rising sea levels and all those beastly racists!! Next you'll be telling me some women have a penis...

Just like Ukraine?

I'm a Brit and I'm inclined to agree with you. Our country is a hostile place thanks to the morons who did this and I don't imagine it's going to get much better any time soon. The EU is much better off without us. My only hope is that the next generation is able to reject the hatred, racism and ignorance of their parents and take the country forward again.

You're so deluded "it's a hostile land" what are you even talking about?

@@Adamsamsm Your Priti Patel, Your Suella Braverman are evil women. Two faced like whole british society never liking to confront anything as cowardness is encrypted in Your British identity. Those 2 hostile, 2 evil women daughters to immigrants now attacking migrants. Thank God the EU is imposing new measures on You wishing to travel to get pissed mainly in Spain.

Keep a candle in the window for Scotland which voted to stay in the EU but was overruled by the much larger electorate in England.

I left the 2015 a i I could see how it was going to go. I am happily living and an E.U country now best thing I could do am so glad I did as looking at the U.K. from outside now it is not recognizable as my country anymore.

Gives them more time to admire the blue passport then.

I agree with you, but at the same time there are also deep rooted reasons for the attitude of the English: their policy always had been to fight against a united europe, and they were trying to sabotage it from the inside. Now that they are out, we can have a shot at it, if the French and the Germans keep being on good terms with each other. As the USA influence fades from europe, we will maybe be able to finally be arbiter of our own destiny.

Maybe if you explain to an American that if your President Biden declared a free trade agreement and freedom of movement agreement with Canada and then twenty years later all 35 countries of the Americas have joined it then come and express an opinion here. Would people in the USA tolerate a new superior parliament in Beunos Aires, headed by unelected presidents, making laws that supplant the Capitol in Washington DC? Would the people of the USA be happy that anyone in the Americas had the legal right to move to the USA and live there and be housed at your expense? Would you be happy for the USA to not be able to have its own foreign policy but only one that the 35 countries of the Americas had ALL agreed on? Would you be happy to ditch the US dollar and accept a universal Peseta that had the same value in the USA and basket economies like Venezula? No, don't think so...

It's already happened. USA is cut off from reality. I highly recommend going to a "third world country" and seeing how much more infrastructure, education and healthcare there is than in the US. I went through the US on the way to Nicaragua 6 years ago... don't understand how the US can claim to be a "superpower"

@@COMEINTOMYWORLD So, you believe that UK is still a great power compared to the rest of Europe? That's my point. When we're no longer a superpower, I hope we., the USA, recognize it. Currently, we're still the only superpower so we're behaving like a superpower. UK is no longer the Great British Empire. Clearly, you and many others Brits can't accept this reality. That's my point. Yes, one day, America will no longer be a superpower. We will slide down in the ranking. I don't know when or how this will happen. But when it does, these future Americans will most likely behave the same as the Brits do now. Or the same as the Russians do now, or Turks do now. Past glory haunts are peoples who came from Empire.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Definition of a superpower. If your claim that Nicaragua is a higher ranked country than the US, then it would be clear in how other countries treat the US and Nicaragua. Nicaragua domestic and foreign policies would be discussed and followed and studied more than the US because countries would feel that what Nicaragua does will impact them more than what the US does. I'm sure that countries all over the world are closely monitoring events in Nicaragua.

He was so right.

Not true, my friends living in Cyprus voted to leave even though they had no intention of living in the UK again!

You now can use patriotic imperial units, and no one will torture and kill you for it!! *God shave the king!!!!!*

@@Buckets1000 All very true. The exit of Angela Merkel left a massive power vacuum which the UK should have easily filled. We should be looking at an EU dominated by the UK both economically and militarily right now. Instead, we've got a pathetically weak UK on the verge of further disintegration when Scotland takes independence. France has stepped in to fill the EU leadership role in the Western EU while Poland has taken the same role in the Eastern EU. Meanwhile, the UK is now labeled sick-man of Europe.

Cringe. There half a million self inflicted wounds in ukr from deciding to be in the e.ů. You would prefer that would you?

You clearly have no idea about what you are talking about.

@@richardgallagher4880 stfu you putinistic boy. Ukraine is fighting for its real independence, they're tired of having a russian boot on their necks, keeping them poor and controlling their corrupt politicians. they've suffered for 20 years after the fall of USSR and since the fleeing of Yushcenko, they're in a war with Russia. This war is the big test for the nation of Ukraine. They win, they truly get out of russian influence and they can join the EU family. If they fail, Russia will continue to control them and slowly but surely grind their territory. Personally, I hope to see Ukraine, Moldova and Scotland in EU, Ireland whole; and England out.

Not even as important as they think they are, they are just a tiny island with weird economy and even weirder politics.

They shouldn't have dumped loads of eastern Europeans here.

In the same way the Spanish are furious that some of their seaside resorts are now inundated with tangerine-coloured British pensioner expats who refuse to learn the language or eat the local cuisine. That’s how immigration and emigration work. But don’t worry, the process of moving elsewhere in Europe to work or retire is now much more complicated so we’ll have to stay where we belong. On OUR island. That WE have a GOD GIVEN right to, and NOT those mucky mucky foreigners who WEREN’T BORN HERE and SHOULD JUST ALL LEAVE NOW. God save the King. amiright 👊

It was the other bits the democratic majority of the UK didn't like.

Who would have thought it could go wrong.?.Well you need to have a half brain and actually think for a moment to see it was going to be a complete mess..But never mind..As long as nasty tories made out of it and Putin got what he payed for that’s ok.?

@@themajesticmagnificent386 Nothing has gone wrong in terms of getting the hell out of that toxic, anti-democratic, unaccountable organisation.

What I love the most is the idiot Leavers always say "well we're at least in charge of our democratic process again!!" WRONG. The UK had signed up to so many EU regulations and laws that when we left, nearly all those laws and regulations just got moved over to the domestic statute books with very little parliamentary process. Why? Because A) to trade with the EU, we need to be compliant with those laws and B) we didn't have our own version of them. If you think the government had time to design, research and pass its own legislation on everything from international truck weights to salmonella testing standards for eggs - you are an idiot. So no, we haven't even achieved democratic independence because when we left, all of those EU laws just because British laws almost overnight.

100% true

Where there's a hope , there's a way. Britain will emerge stronger.

​@@thunderstorm4074 we always have two WW's prove it, the third potential one? nah we need a rest! damn tiring having to jump in and save europe so often and lack of gratitude - is very astounding!!,maybe we should be the bad guys for once? oh wait.......our pirates did that......but we DID clean them up eventually - the only nation that could manage it. ah the nostalgia! that was before we became the soft touch we are today and pandered to everyone elses needs except our own peoples.
