Thats right. In fact, in 47 years, there has never been any EU law forced on the UK, all of that propaganda was nonsense. Every EU law in the UK was ratified by the UK gov't. We were the second most powerful member of the largest free market in the world, and these dishonest Tory right wingers, with the help of a few corrupt people like Farage and Aaron Banks, took us out of that arrangement.

Hm….When we joined the then common market in 1973 without a vote we were assured it was for trade only not for anything more. There was so much scepticism that TEd Heath was worried that a vote would not give the answer he wanted. The referendum in 1975 asked if we wanted to stay in the common market? And still we were assured that it was for trade only so we said yes. Even De Gaulle did not want us to join! Talks of a European Union even date back to Hitler (!!!?) who at one point said that there was more one way to win a war! The government documents that confirm the deception lay dormant for the statutory 30 years. Anyway, all that said, when we joined the common market we were forced to drop trade with our commonwealth partners , and we dropped them like hot potato if you’ll forgive the pun! We are very lucky that are they are still speaking to us , never mind trading with us. And are doing very well without us!

Austerity was imposed on Greece by the EU, but the reason for that was that in Greece there was a widespread culture of tax avoidance. This went from the bottom of society to the top and was a hangover from the drachma days. The reason austerity was imposed on Greece was because they were in a currency union with the rest of the Eurozone and the culture of tax evasion was causing a lot of money to seemingly disappear instead of coming back around to the ECB eventually, as it should. This worked to drive inflation in the Euro. Austerity has never been imposed on the UK by the EU. Not being in the Eurozone meant that they effectively had no authority to force the UK to do anything. Austerity in the UK was little more than a cynical ploy to drain money and assets from everyone but society's wealthies because the Tories would rather the UK be a country full of communities of slavering paupers beholden to the service of some aloof aristocrat.

Whereas the choice for a company based in the UK is limited to either just the UK, or paying the required tariffs and duties to look overseas; not good options for an international trading country like Britain! The bottom line is, any company in the UK is at a significant disadvantage to an equivalent company in the EU.

Sorry but there is so much wrong with this. Firstly - in the opening bit , people think the economy has tanked because they are told by "remoaners" that it has tanked. Perhaps stick to the facts not opinion. Second - about three times you show PM David Cameron campaigning while talking about the leave campaign. Cameron led the REMAIN campaign and the Tory party was the most pro EU party and took us into the EEC and then the EU. At 3.14 you compare UK/EU trade with World/EU trade. that is pointless - compare it with EU/UK trade. Next - you completely miss out the huge issue that while UK exports to EU have dropped in value, the imports have also dropped. The fact is for every £2 of sales to the EU we import £3 purchases from the EU. If both drop by the same % then UK wins big time. Which is what has happened. The free access to the UK home market cost us more than we gained to the EU home market. Next - you are the wrong way round on the low paid sector. Lower paid workers are in short supply and so can demand better wages and conditions. They are NOT helped by more competition for jobs. We really do not want jobs where the business cannot afford to pay decent wages. Better let them fail and work in more profitable jobs. The rest regarding investment seems muddled.

The only reason why the British people voted to leave the EU was because of Islamophobia. The Syrian and Libyan crises in which the UK played a major role led to a surge in people fleeing the wars and destruction of their countries. They fled to Europe and Britain. The Brits got so scared of this that they ultimately voted to leave the European Union itself in order to stop these refugees and other immigrants from coming to Britain. The fear of Islam and Muslims caused Brexit. And even today, Nigel Farage won his seat in Parliament only because of his Muslim bashing aka I S L A M O P H O B I C rhetoric.

I think it is funny how they compare nominal values of investment when they should compare values deflationed by the CPI in the UK. That would give a much better comparison as the inflation in the UK was comparable to that in developing nations....

One assumption that is often.talked about is that growth in the UK would have continued at the same pace if brexit hadn't had happened. But the reality is growth failed in some countries, e.g.Germany. So this assumption of continued growth is probably not true. Of course we can never know. Therefire growth cannot be locked into forward protections.

Last year the Tory government issued 1.44million entry permits/visas mainly for immigrants from the Indian subcontinent and Africa. In terms of asylum seekers they should only be accepted from the UN after in depth background checks. I wondered why the Tory government didn’t send all asylum seekers to the Falklands for processing instead of Rwanda and have Mr. Ryanair organise the flights. The Swiss used to permit immigrants to enter Switzerland for specific projects (construction) and for a limited period after that they were sent home, no families allowed to join workers. Valuable immigrants were allowed to bring their families with them, I assume from first world countries and able/willing to return to their home countries at some point in the future. It used to be incredibly difficult to obtain a Swiss passport if a non national. Times change. Your description of Johnson is appallingly inaccurate, which undermines your thesis, he proved to be the worst Prime Minister since Lord North 1775!

At 1:14 Quote: "52 percent of the British public voted to leave the European Union". Wrong. about 37.5 percent of the Electorate voted Leave. Less than 37.5 percent of the British Public voted "Leave". I'm a British citizen but wasn't part of the UK electorate in 2016 (I was non UK resident for more than 15 years back then). It was a terrible miscarriage of democracy that the UK made such a (virtually) non-reversable constitutional change, against government advice, in consequence of the preference expressed by less than 37.5 % of the British people. On the other hand, When the UK joined the European Economic Community back in 1973, at least the decision was made by the democratically elected government of the day.

@@pindarf1 This 37.5% ploy has been tried many times. It's a larger number than 34.71% which is the proportion of the electorate that voted for remain. If you are trying to insinuate that the vote to leave, on close to 52% of the people who chose to cast a ballot, was somehow invalid, then forget it. It won't work. It's just a pointless whine. The leave campaign won on a 72.4% turnout and the remain campaign lost. It's that simple.

I don't think Brexit is prime cause to blame for the worsening UK economy. It was just one of the factor. UK just failed to develop competitive trade business like automobile of Germany, airplane of France etc. Low productivity, and lack of infrastructure and skilled workforce, lack of glowing industry are to blame. They are nothing to do with Brexit or EU.

No chance to get back into the EU within the next twenty years. The UK doesn't even fulfill the Copenhagen Criteria to become a candidate.

I doubt that they would welcome the UK. We will also not forget all the insults and threats and instead realize how much better the EU works since Brexit. So no, zero chance.

The UK had an exclusive role in EU: they had veto rights, but didn't apply many of the regulations. They stayed out of the Euro, they didn't accept the EU court, they had to pay far less than other EU countries (relative to their economic size). I highly doubt that UK would see these benefits again if they were allowed to rejoin.

The narrator mentions how many Europeans have left Britain since Brexit. Yet he completely fails to mention how many illegal migrants have entered Britain before & after Brexit, and then also the biggest influx on the day Kier Starmer became PM. If Brexit is so bad, why are there so many illegals coming here for a better life? They think Britain is like the land of milk and honey when it certainly isnt compared to other european countries. And the same thing would still happen if Britain had stayed in the EU. EU nationals still would have left in any case, as housing prices go up and jobs are fewer no thanks to mass illegal migration. Its not the Brexiteers fault. Its 2008 crises, the Arab spring, the Syrian War which led to PM Cameron making a big referendum miscalulation. He sat in Westminster forgetting how poor the north of England was, and still is compared to London.

@@ADB-zf5zr That's a different point. What the video says is incorrect. On your point, millions of us living in other EU countries and elsewhere (perhaps some of the most well informed and affected by EU membership) were deprived of the right to vote - not "didn't bother". Moreover, many of those who did vote have since died and many who were too young at the time do now have the right to vote - the latter being very clearly against Brexit and in favour of EU membership (look at the polls). Again, not "didn't bother". Nor was the vote about leaving all EU institutions, in particular the SM and CU; or about losing freedoms such as movement. On the contrary, the British public were told these things would be preserved! So there was deception and fraud which went to the very heart of the non-binding *consultation*. Not to mention Russian interference (the government has never come clean about that). Personally, I would hope you could agree that all that is now less important than the present situation, in which we dan see that Brexit brings no benefits, only damage.

Our services growth with the eu outstrips our loss of manufacturing trade. Additionally our new trade sectors with new deals are significantly ahead, albeit row growth is down. What we have done with migration is removed the basic cheap as chips labour working in minimum wage sectors (much of which should have been automated) and replaced it with migrants that will earn on average £55k per annum meaning they become net contributors to the public purse not takers. Our productivity is going down the pan in the public sector and in the private sector where local government is responsible and environmentalists. Investment is now returning GDP growing and inflation under control andthe best in the eu major economies. Brexit thank goodness the country is already better off.

I notice you didn't mention the pandemic or the global cost of living crisis. Of course brexit didn't ruin the UK's economy, as we recover from a global pandemic and the global cost of living crisis, the UK is doing better than most eu countries, particularly France, Italy, Spain and Germany, the big economic hitters in the eu. The UK is now the fastest growing economy in the G7 and now the fourth largest global exporter having jumped 3 places above France, the Netherland and Japan and all this happened after we left the eu. So its the exact opposite, brexit is an economic benefit to the UK. Remainers will moan and say otherwise though but they are obviously wrong.
