Amazon is terrible, but the EU is actually doing something to try and make sure they do not take over everything. I don't get why they feature in this Brexit video - it is not like the UK leaving the EU will make Amazon go away or make them behave better in the UK. Most likely Amazon will be even worse in the way the operate in the UK.

@@bzdtemp Actually when i hear "Sovereignty", in my mind, they are talking about freedom to screw both the working class and environment at which the most popular EU regulations directed, and YES, if it wasn't for the EU and the German labour system i could've been denied toilet time and 2 minute stop to drink back in 2012 when they first came here, in places like leipzig it was complete chaos with weekly demonstrations they tried to take advantage of the fact they have less minimum wage there in the East . Amazon is a criminal compony only those who worked there know what i mean .

1. the lords cannot introduce legislation or stop the commons form pushing through legislation they are a check to ensure fitness for purpose i.e fully enforceable. her royal highness Elizabeth the second queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland And the Commonwealth Realm is a tourist attraction who rubber stamps legislation and acts as a confidant to our leaders and influential politicians she has no legitimate power.

If you want to keep your human zoo just say so, but do not complain about people getting benefits without having any qualifications to deserve it.

Being in EU worked out great for me. My old granny got a big grant to do up her ramshackle cottage 25 years ago, it was virtually uninhabitable at the time. I live in it now so thank you very much EU.

I identify with your comment massively. I'm a London-based remain voter who has lived and studied in the EU when younger, now married to a French woman, have a social circle that is made up of a very diverse range of nationalities (EU and beyond), work in a fairly pro-remain professional environment and consume very anti-Brexit media (print, broadcast, online/social media). When the result of the 2016 vote landed, I was absolutely shocked. I totally never saw it coming and could not understand why people had voted to leave. Two (and a bit) years on, I'm still coming to terms with why the outcome went the way it did and have been trying my hardest to understand the arguments of leave voters. I have heard absolute nothing that has convinced me that leaving will be good for the UK - in fact, my panic is increasing with every day that passes. HOWEVER... I'm trying my best to listen to views from all parts of the UK on why people chose to vote to exit the EU. I really want to engage with someone who doesn't just shout me down or who comes up with empty platitudes of "take back control" or "sovereignity" without knowing what they mean. I feel bad when I sound even remotely patronising or judgmental as I know there are people on the remain side who are equally uninformed and ignorant on issues. I would really like to sit-down and listen to a leave voter, understand their viewpoint and to find some common-ground. It would perhaps be a bit wrong for me to label all leave votes as "protest votes" against austerity and political exclusion - there are a wide range of reasons people voted the way they did. This video series highlights many of them but most of those interviewed seem to see themselves as underdogs and view the EU as being responsible for the ills of UK society. This is because they don't understand what the EU is or indeed what the benefits of membership are. This is not a failure of the voters - it's a failure of the media and the EU to get their message heard over the years. This video takes me out of my echo-chamber of Remainers but what I'm hearing makes me want to run back into my bubble of sanity. It's not right, but until someone is willing to put the argument to Leave to me in a way that can respond credibly to reasonable scrutiny, I want to bury my head and wake up from this absolute divisive nightmare.

Rax Lakhani - there are plenty of youtube clips, radio talk shows and TV documentaries that give a comprehensive selection of Brexiteer views. Being English and living with my French wife in France we can only look in in dismay at the way the UK has divided over Brexit. The UK has always been 'one foot in' and has (IMO) always had preferential treatment from the EU. Despite the many problems within the EU I think it has far more good than bad going on and UK Government could have done more to change it within rather than initiating an option to come out. Regardless of 'In' or 'Out' the Political situation in the UK is a shambles with Westminster now the laughing stock of the world: the worst Government in modern history coupled with the worst opposition in modern history. Sadly the UK is destined for a generation of misery, disruption and discontent. Not because it will be out of the EU but because of the ongoing split between the leavers and remainers - It is a social and political disaster.

Isn't anything unexpected, a lot of varieties in what to be angry and frustrated about (many rightfully so) fuel by a lot of indignant and pride as well. Easy to just point them at an erroneous "foreign" target and let it run. I don't think you live in an echo-chamber or bubble simply because you haven't met much of those whom have difference experience, there are subtle differences. And I also don't think there's much "common ground" to be found that will make much of a difference. It's like thinking Creationist and Evolutionary Biology can get along by finding common ground. You are talking about an entrench stance that isn't going away simply because you can empathize with someone plight.

@@biocapsule7311 I think you might be right. It's a bit like finding common ground with a Flat Earth believer and ending up having to agree that our planet is a cylinder shape.

E W Yeah, why think about anything, eh? Why analyse anything? Let's just make momentous political decisions that will affect generations to come and then never talk about them again.

E W: "what is there to think about?" Haha..nice one 🤣. Oh..you're serious, just an emotional ukippee voter then.

ctho It's a shame that the politicians don't just follow people like John Harris around. They seem to prefer their own selective echo chambers. It doesn't matter if it's Nigel Farage or Jeremy Corbyn. Brexit is possibly a result of a political class totally out of touch with ordinary regional voters, a process developing over years. The EU politicians are even further away. How would they know what life is like working in an Amazon fulfilment centre?

E W when we have a recession after leaving, remind yourself of your post, "what is there to think about." There is a hell of a lot to think about. How you put 'Islamic terrorism' at the doors of the EU is beyond me, as for immigration you can expect immigration to continue post Brexit as Farage himself has repeatedly said that he supports it and wants it to continue - which will ensure businesses don't have to increase their wages as the labour market continues to grow. You can just expect fewer immigrants from the EU and more from the world beyond.

Of course they can take workers from elsewhere. The WHO reckon there are 3 BILLION people who live on world poverty levels. Vast numbers of these would jump at the chance of undercutting the average EE migrant, who looks expensive by comparison. That's what globalism is. It is the relentless hunt for cheaper costs, which means greater profits.

The problem is that the leavers are angry sheep following a wolf, too old to see the wolf for what it is, and they've stabbed their young in the back in the process - it's the lambs who in the years down the line will really suffer. Or, to lose the analogy, bigotry and prejudice is more and more apparent, especially when the two sides clash on social media. We've talked a lot about financial issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if this mess turns violent - let's suggest the leavers don't get their wet dreams what happens then? I'm not sure we'll be a peaceful country then

Oh boy....you're scaring me. but then again, Britain has been through a lot of stuff. you surely will overcome this one, too. the only thing that sickens me is, that it is sooooooo unnecessary... oh and that sheep/wolf thing is going on in Hungary, Poland and Italy too. And also in Germany lately. Seems that Europe is on its way back to ties we thought had been left behind... ;(

Brexit was used as a fear mongering tool abt immigration UKIP and Farage are racists and anti immigrants.

@Alison Brown There's no iron clad guarantees that conditions would improve once Bexit is done. It could worsen and make life more difficult than when UK was part of the EU. Blaming immigrants for NHS problems doesn't wash bec the Conservatives have been hacking away at the NHS to make the healthcare system in America's or Republican Party image and that's why you see thousands of British people of ALL Stripes and background angrily protesting in the streets against the govt attempts to water down NHS. The homelessness issue is a long outstanding one for lack of a coherent public housing policy and funds to built affordable housing. by successive govts. The immigrant didn't make it worse , they just Highlighted the shortages problem of public housing available for rent or purchase.

@@blmetal65 how can you say immigration hasn't made it worse? Its obviously putting a strain on public housing stock and keeping wages suppressed. How can schoolchildren learn efficiently when they're in classes where 15 languages are spoken?

groen89084 somewhere along the way we lost our self respect, our grandads generation would never accept that...like boiling the frog, they are slowly bur surely downgrade or sense os self respect and dignity...

Funny is the stupid voters think it has somethign to do with EU. By stating the fact you are not having it, it clearly shows it has nothing to do it.

Sffduf

The working time directive means nothing here. You are asked to opt out when starting a new job.

@Victor Shackapopulus Isn't that illegal?

agreed

Very clearly; more democracy is not less democracy. Brexiteers are just terrified that they can't cod the public twice and are trying to stifle democracy to keep their position.

Ralp Masilmani - Twice will do, if we still vote to leave after the brexit terms are agreed with the EU, and can be put before the general public, there is no hope for this country. Once we have the terms of leave set out before us there will be less room for the speculative lies which defined the last referendum.

Wish we could have an Irish revolution in England right now against the brexiteers. Some Irish sense instead of Brexit twaddle would do us all good. I seriously think a large portion of my own people have minds that are at serious variance with reality. When the rubber finally hits the road and they wake up, it’s not going to be pleasant.

@Ralph Masilamani no mention of austerity tho

@@kevinMIAMIHEATWADE3 yeah, u can watch this for 30seconds and see anti leave bias

They are all educated. Except Guardian readers.

She quoted Bomber Command not Pericles, it just so happened that the quote was from Pericles.

Because the people in the domestic departments and ministries still have to answer to elected officials?

because some departments in charge of European legislation are not directly elected officials. In the UK ministries or departments don't create the laws, they merely implement them.

pisse3000 it’s just a cop out as they have no real justifiable reason for voting leave

did you not read what I said?

Yes, it was a pile of nonsense. People who work for the EU are either elected by voters of their country, or elected by EU wide elections or they are picked by an elected official. If you compare the EU with the government of the UK...well, let's put it this way: If the UK crashes out and then wants to re-join, it would have to reform its election system and government, because it is actually not democratic enough to fulfil the current EU standards.

What did the Tories do to cause any of this?

They deserve their misery.

That was designed so they could take us in. Your right they are running the same scam again. Your still buying into it

It makes me crazy aswell. Healthcare, wellfare, schools, housing, basic services. Low minimum wage. This is what they are mad about, and the EU does not control any of that.

When you pay more money into a club than you get out. Poland put zero in, and get billions out, no problems with their infrastructure! If you kept that money here, problem solved

Theyd have to get off their arses and get an undercover job in Amazon. And cmon these are Guardian journos we are talking about - John Harris looks more accustomed to 3 course Italian lunch deals and the crossword than worrying about his next piss break. I am on the left and pleased to see his worried face over Brexit. Not got anything to offer us, his lot. What are they going to against Amazon? China? An angry EU? Bleat!

Michael well they failed miserably didnt they? And this is the whole point.

With our own money

Michael Rowsell and yet the turkeys still voted for Christmas

WATSON DOVE you think Westminster would have spent the same amount on these areas if we hadn't been in the EU? Don't kid yourself

The EU simply took UK taxpayer money, then handed slightly more than half of it back again to the UK. And, no, the EU wasn't 'the only organisation trying to help'. That's just a lie.

philip013 Use big gulps.

Question is ....will this catastrophe of Brexthick would be happening?

At 7:17 John Harris asks a prospective Labour MP: "So those big sheds that ring our towns you know what goes on there and you think about it a lot?" What exactly are you implying, John? That you don't, even though you have the license to roam the country as a full-time professional journalist? That it's strange that a prospective Labour MP should be familiar with industrial factories and warehouses? That it's strange that a prospective Labour MP should be concerned with working conditions? Respect to Gill Ogilvie and Lisa Nandy (regardless of how she voted in the referendum) for remembering that the Labour Party is meant to represent the white working class and would have been in power for far longer if it had done so.

Christopher Barclay They’ve definitely shot themselves in the foot pandering to the looney left. What part of the Lib Dem’s complete failure did labour see and think was a good idea.

So you don't believe that some remainers voted through fear? An emotion

The most crucial point is when someone took off something from the middle of sentence and presents it as a whole sentence, in the way that original sentence in whole entirely lost its meaning. :D

Pros of using a food bank versus being on welfare: 1. People are giving their help voluntarily, not being forced through taxation. Surely non-violence is better than violence. 2. Money isn't being spent on expensive middle-men in the government bureaucracy. Con of using a food bank versus being on welfare: It's harder to ignore the fact that you're living at someone else's expense, which most people find embarrassing if they're honest. Let's face it: that's the reason that this whole topic is so controversial.

roadend78 Remove the word “Tory” from this sentence and it will make sense. Do you really think there is a difference between Tory, Labour and Lib Dem’s? Are you one of those people who thinks in terms of tribalism? “All the other tribes are bad and everything they say and do is bad, but my tribe is good and everything my tribe say and do is good... if my tribe elected a tomato plant as it’s leader I would vote for it because it’s a good tomato plant because it’s my tribes tomato plant” Sadly this is how most people think, like mindless Zombies strolling around murmuring “my tribe, my tribe good. Other tribe bad, bad tribe” Wake up and realise they are all the same tribe.

David B. The referendum was not legally binding. If brexit is that much important for leave voters, why didn’t they vote for a party that would have delivered what they want so dearly?

Adam Collins It’s obvious that 2% is irrelevant, at least in remainers eyes. Not this time though. Hook and line come to mind. You fell for it.

Considerably more, as everything else.

Watch the full video in part 1 or part 2 and he has a chat with both of them and its the guy's opinions that lead Harris to that conclusion. What was shown in this video was just a quick clip. I don't think he based his decision on skin colour, although the editing in this video makes that seem plausible.

Statistically correct, by the way. Exit polls estimated ethnic minorities were 60-70% Remain.

It's a little more complex, multiple motives for voting Leave vs Remain.@The Truth

Haven’t done your homework jonisio

@The Truth well, the misplaced idealism of my youth..

Yeah right. I wonder how bitter this young generation would be if they had to go to war and lose many family members.

Maxdamage How about Remain voters have elevated themselves above everybody, simply because they've put an 'x' against a choice? Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?

Because standardising rules and regs helps trade. Having a British standard of quality for a product and a French standard for the same product is monumental stupidity. Also, the Commission, if that's what you're referring to, is only one part of the structure; the European Parliament and Council also have significant power over EU regs and directives and both are made up of elected reps. Our Civil Service are unelected. They're also 10x the size of the Commisson and the latter has to deal with a popualtion 10x as large and speak 20+ languages.

Al L We want Britain to be ruled by elected people like the civil service, the heads of government departments, the House of Lords and the monarchy...

Actually, "sane" people scrutinise the institutions they support. Sane people believe in accountability and transparency. Sane people live in a society where they have some degree of control over their body politic. Sane people accept you have to work for your money. Sane people understand that our economy is where the money actually originates from. Sane people would open up trade relationships with the rest of the world.

Didier Lemoine Scotland currently has the highest public spending deficit in Europe.

@@Chris-oz9qx According to Wikipedia Scotland has a GDP of 237.618 billion dollars. It has 4.1% unemployment. An independent Scotland would not be paying towards the £200 billion new trident nuclear missiles and submarines, over £54 billion HS2 rail line from Birmingham to London and the up to £5.4 billions doing up Westminster etc. Also Scotland could spend a similar amount on defense to other small countries and save billions of pounds on defense spending. Different spending decisions will be made by an independent Scottish government in Edinburgh than would be made by Westminster in London. Westminister Infrastructure spending has favoured London and the south east to the detriment to the rest of the UK. You just have to look at the cancellation of the electrification of the Cardiff - Swansea and Manchester - Leeds railway line at the same time as Westminster gives the go-ahead for the £32 billion crossrail 2 for London. After £15 billion was spent on crossrail in London. Scotland is a rich country and would prosper with access to all of it's money and better local governance from the Scottish parliament in Edinburgh. For example the Scottish government was against the Iraqi war which was a disaster in lives, money and encourage terrorism by destabilising the whole area. If you really believe that Scotland is that poor after 300 year of control from Westminster that is all the more reason that Scotland would be better to become an Independent country just like newzealand, Norway and Canada etc.

@@martindornan1667 Scotland also exports over 70% of its products to the rest of the UK which if Scotland went independent would be subject to tariffs. Scotland would also have to create its own currency while awaiting EU membership (which it currently wouldn't pass due to the Copenhagen criteria rules). I'm not Scotland bashing by the way as I appreciate Scotland a hell of a lot more than London centric hypocrites who read the Guardian.... But facts are facts.

That´s true, Scotland would have a hard time beeing accepted as a member of the EU. Just like UK will be when they want to reapply for membership after some years of desaster. They are just not democratic enough for a start.

Considering the combined population of Scotland and NI is less than London do you really think the EU cares about those 2 countries?
