Steven on top form. An absolute hero.

Tremendous presentation/speech - I am more than a tad scared about current prospects for the UK, but it is right to focus on young people - their dynamism and courage has always made the difference and will continue to do, especially in an increasingly multi-polar world.

I have watched many many TEDx talks and this one was one of the most interesting as the issue is close to my heart. What I did notice when he talked about the complicity of the establishment in trying to do down the ordinary anti EU voter was that this was the only talk I have seen where the camera pans onto the audience to reveal the lack of attendees. He is right and even TEDx is obviously pro EU, attempting to shame his talk and ideas due to the lack of interest. I'd bet if it was some corporate fascist talking about the advantages of submitting to post democracy the camera would never pan to the seating to reveal the fact that there was no one there to listen.

Brilliant presentation to a small audience. Let's hope it is viewed a lot on social media.

I thoroughly enjoyed that - and I would certainly give this man my vote

An honest man.

He a nice guy for real -I leafleted Pimlico with him he had all the volunteers in and cooked us lunch himself..

He hits the nail on the head . Brilliant !

Why did Brexit happen? Well, you will have to start with then PM David Cameron and the Conservatives.

why this man didn't manage to make party leader I'll never know

not having mr woolfe as ukip leader was a big mistake

Should be leader of UKIP.

When the free trade deal with the US was signed in Canada, we knew that a trade deal meant you would need an economic, then a monetary, then a political union, though none of those other pennies have fallen, which is it's own form of problem. But certainly the elites knew in the UK what would happen to liberty, because everyone with a few economics course knows how that movies goes.

England is my city !!!

Seems to be blaming UK political issues on the EU.

Well Peter Thiel makes the interesting point that globalism has been conceptually, and in the numbers failing since 07 or 08. He says you want to be long inward looking societies and short outward looking ones. So long California and Texas, say. And short Virginia/DC, NYC, or London. This is not to say that there won't be more globalism, but that it will no longer grow 3 times faster than the world economy. The squelch about "little Britain" completely misses the big picture that the EU created political, and bureaucratic goods in abundance, but is a massive distraction from real progress, which is less a game for bureaucrats. He also points out that globalism is horizontal growth, not new solutions, but just the process of spreading the old ones around. That spread can be great international cooperation, or corrupt bureaucracies, or military oppression. But what really shifts the needle is when someone come up with a new technology that changes the world we live in, and that is vertical growth, not just a lot of junkets to harmonize the idea of what jam is. The UK can concentrate on it's own politics, but also on making real last technological change, and put the era of bureaucratic expansion to one side, and get on with growing the process of human advancement.

only a lawyer could rewrite history with such eloquence

Why do they never ask why remain never happened ?

Actually confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as....

eloquently put

The real reason he did not become leader is that UKIP has always been the Nigel Farage show, everytime the party has tried to professionalise and be able to actually fight a proper national campaign. Nigel could suffer no competitors and the executive is enslaved to him and therefore they are all drummed out and Nigel remained at the centre.

I think he has identified the problem but what he is talking about is happening globally not only in England. And to try to solve that at a national level will miserably fail. The big global economy will just move on and the people who voted to leave the EU will suffer the most. I think what needs to happen is that we have to reduce the influence of the 0.1% which does have 99% of the money.

Good argument: this is THE case for Brexit; it is why it happened

Hear! Hear!

He is a good speaker I vote for him he makes sense

The bait and switch in full effect. The ignored and demeaned ...what, you mean the richer middle classes that account for over 60 percent of the Leave vote? Immigration from the commonwealth has NOTHING directly to do with being in the EU. The blame for housing, economics and immigration were never the EU's fault. It was always the uk government that controlled these things. An educated man like this should know better. I don't know where this resentment about greater cooperation between nations come from, but this lack of freedom nonsense should be debated with facts.

This guy gets it

Worked with investment bankers, probably holding a short position on the pound.

Turning on notifications is worth it.

I have never been a so-called Kipper but this eloquent man represents everything that is “noble”, “just” and “fair” about Britain. Bring on the abuse and cheap jibes.

I'm all right Jack... Close the trapdoor behind you on the way up...

I have listened to your speech and it seems to me the conclusion is that you should, therefore, campaign for the abolition of the HofL and proportional representation if you want people to be represented rather than Brexit. If you meant what you said.

Still living in sunny uplands.

"Insights" Hahahaha... i needed a laugh.

Stephen Woolfe for Prime Minister.

David Cameron?

Freedom was a big motivation why I voted remain and hope that the wilderness years will be short and that we will join soon. Also opportunity for all was an important motivation to vote Remain. Though your arguement was well put I think it is fundamentally flawed as there was no metropolitan elite. It was very sad that so many leave voters believed a pack.of lies.

He really is a beautiful man , I used to date someone quite similar in North London.

Beautifully exposed, but empty.

It' the first time I've heard him talk and I have to say, I'm impressed, but it's not as if the people do not know this. The remain camp may have not thought about it, because of the blinkers, but the Leave camp did, regardless of whether it was a vote to simply get the hell out, Or whether they had taken all the issues on board. I understood or was made to understand that while we have this chain around our necks we are going nowhere.

BRILLIANT

He put it in a nutshell. Steven and Nigel together would have been unbeatable. What a tragedy.

love this man he is so honesty he is one of the common people like us he should be UK leader and prime minister

Working out well isn't it. Lol

The Kipper Copp'er of a kipper knockout

UKIP really missed out by not making Mr. Woolfe leader of the party. Someone like Mr. Woolfe would make a very strong leader of the country, and Britain would benefit immensely as a result. We need someone like Mr. Woolfe in number 10 instead of these clowns who are nothing more than show ponies.

Woolfe sounds more Labour than UKIP to be honest.

But what is this really about? 'Freedom', 'Democracy', 'Liberty' have become dangerous buzzwords that are twisted and bastardized from their original meaning. What the blessed heck is really going on?

Ok, if you are ready to pay compensation, with your own money, at people who will loose their job. 10.000 restaurant staff lost their job because, with Brexit, no chefs want to come in this country and you don't have enough people trained,, idem for NHS (87% EU staff are gone) So not enough staff, again. Next; car companies, that started with Land Rover, etc... etc...So you still want Brexit and pay for it, because it's easy to put people in trouble, without consequences. If you pay, I am all right with Brexit, if not : Shut up!!!

Steven Wolfe, an amazing man with a great mind, keep going Steven ! We want to be free!

This is so true, none of what has happened has anything to do with race or hate it is about every thing that Steven Wolfe has explained.

Plenty of stories from across the old British Empire of people fighting for their freedom from British rule, it is interesting to see the UK appropriate this sense oppression. Seems to me that Mr Woolfe's problem, and those of other Brexiters, originate in years of bad domestic policies and have little to do with the EU.

Is anyone else really distracted by the creaking

Blames EU for globalisation, failing to realise that was a UK and subsequently US institution!!

So what he is saying is it’s the political class in the UK that’s the problem but if the Eu got involved in British politics he would scream at the top of his voice

So he says the past is where it is in the past by beginning with a story of the levellers!! It sounded like he knew what he was talking about, but it was cliches and platitudes. He made it sound as if people blew the uk up in a hissy fit. Is he right? Have people put future generations at risk because they felt really really cross?! Is that how sensible people react? Dear God, What on Earth have we done!!!!!

Why did Brexit happen? Because people voted for it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

i heard many anecdotes, i didn't hear an argument. he had the word "freedom" in the background. i am from austria. my feeling is that i have more freedom WITH the EU, WITH the euro, able to live and work abroad easily, being part of something bigger than before. in the twenty years of membership of my country to the EU, i have not experienced a single takeaway of my freedoms. nobody took away my identity, my history, my heritage. time will tell how free britain is going to be. how well it will do now more on its own. in my view britain never wanted europe to begin with, never wanted to "join" anything, because the great empire forms things, it doesn't just join them. in this talk i heard a very eloquent man, but i just heard anecdotes supporting the cause, not arguments for the cause itself. every reasonable person knows that you can easily find at least as many anecdotes for the other position on the brexit debate. from an outside perspective it seems to me that in the end brexit was an outcry against the undermining of british (white?) culture. which seems ironic, since this movement seems to long back to the glory of the empire, the very empire that would go to these very places, with the dark skinned people, to make them part of itself. i find brexit a tragic mistake of a great country. days after this so consequential vote leading figures stepped down, leaving the ship when they just managed it to take a sharp u-turn. i could not see that as anything but irresponsible. i hope for the british people that this thing turns out good and right for them. in the end this is such a great and smart culture. the other irony of course is that britain, which is leaving the european spirit now, actually saved this very europe from the nazis.

"As Ronald Reagan said..." Says it all.

*Steven Woolfe

Freedom, democracy and the right to change a government we don't like are things that don't happen in the EU

Yeah, pretty nostalgic. Good luck with that. The multi cultural centers of Europe and USA seem to be very economically viable. But you drop that strategy. Oh and the fisherman would get more money with demand driven down. China will have you. You'll see. Economy is the driver, just watch what happens when you decide to be traditional.

Is he british?

What will leaving the EU do to solve the problem of the 'elite' UK politicians? Absolutely nothing. This guy gave no reasons at all why the EU is or has been bad for Britain, other than babbling on about vague generalities such as Freedom, Faithlessness or being Ignored and Demeaned. Sorry but I don't swallow it!

I don't want that EU flag, I don't want the EU anthem,I don't want this EU Military Union, I don't want this EU political class - I want the whole thing consigned to the dustbin of history.

The problem with Woolfe's approach, is that he takes for granted, throughout his presentation, that the British public as a whole, is a well-researched, sophisticated, politically educated entity, with deep knowledge in history and profound ideals. It feels that Mr Woolfe is projecting some of his own ideals as a whole, on the British public in general. His approach comes across as tender and almost touching however he fails to prove each premise as he proceeds which is key to convince, least of all holding any degree of truth. Overall, a weak presentation I'm afraid.

Part of the human race, but stripped out of freedom under European league. How sad.

He's so deluded. Blame everything on the EU then say that the elite can't blame the EU anymore.

So, according to the speaker: "progress = baaaad". There. Summarized entire speech for you.

every single country in Europe had at some point fought for freedom. Even the ones who, as England, and France, and Turkey, had at some point been empires and had a turn on enslaving other peoples. The fact that English men had historically fought for freedom cannot be the standing argument for anything.

"Why would I give up a well paid job...to risk myself in politics..?"...For even more money with less effort and no accountability ...? :/

I find this guy very beefy and hot.

Immigration.

It didn't happen so this is false from get go.

Its not happened

So here is a wayne kerr talking about how the EU isn't democratic...when most countries in it have proportional representation. All EU elections to MEP are proportional representation. Selective facts and selective histories again ..the Brexiteers way. Pathetic.

Steven Woolfe. He has been "poshified" by going to a public school. Please, please, everyone, realise that this gentleman has been "trained" to speak glibly and convincingly. It's just claptrap. Why hark back to supposed "Martyrs"?

As an educated man how do you say ''an NHS''? The only time you use the word ''an'' is when the next word starts with a vowel. A E I O U.

Is that squeaking his shoes ?

False argument ..... carefully put over, but false. The UK has been leading the EU and we have been as democratically involved as any other country .... and we have always had a veto.

An astonishing mix of demagoguery and lies. He can only have assumed that his audience knew little of either the Levellers or the European project as we understood it in the 1970s, when it was very widely presented as a political project to unite the democratic nations of Western Europe in such a way as to make war unthinkable (the two most massively destructive wars in history had taken place within the previous sixty years). The idea that it was "all about trade" is simply a re-writing of history: it was about trade as a means to a higher goal and perhaps still would be if it were not for the likes of Woolf arguing at every turn against a fully democratic union, which people of his ilk always denounce as some kind of totalitarian "superstate". As someone who also grew up on a council estate in the North of England and acquired a number of university degrees (though I did not regard the goal of a successful life as being to line my pockets in the City of London), I'd like to point out that nothing has done so much to damage my freedom as the "Faragiste" removal of my European citizenship and the removal of the power of all of us to influence the development of the European Union. That body will almost certainly continue to influence the way we live in the future, but it will be weakened by our departure and some very dark forces are clearly already being empowered along the way. It's noteworthy that Nigel Farage immediately dashed off after the referendum to kowtow to Donald Trump, one of the leaders of the oligarchic cabal currently attempting to dismantle Western democratic institutions with any means that fall into their opportunistic hands.

Steven sorry I don't buy that! You are entitled to your opinions but to me you seems to blame EU for all what's wrong with Britain. It's simply satisfied to pushed your ohne failure to someone else. This exactly what lead us to go to this referendum fully charged with emotions may be helpful to look into our ohne politicians incompetency in future. Just my opinion

Steven, have you joined the Brexit Party already?🤔 Look at the poor view count -- this explains what's wrong in the country.

A too local look at the world, basically rubbish.

Didnt he get his lights punched out? Pls take several seats sir No one's interested in your bs

This poor man seemst o be very confused. He's drowning in misconceptions.

From the bottom of my heart, good riddance United Kingdom. Sincerely, a European

Man of the people... My ass, Lost faith in British politicians and voted against EU

Cheap campaign

I really fancy blokes who resemble my partner like Steven. I allow my chosen partner to be a bit bossy but then it’s my choice.
