guys guys i have an idea so like what if the EU gets northern Ireland but like, only on the weekends

The real reason Brexit is taking so long, is to maintain pace with Grey's slow release schedule.

Compromise: Give *half* of Northern Ireland to Ireland, and build a wall around the other half, so that *everyone's* unhappy.

"There's nothing as permanent as a temporary solution" is a perfect start-of-a-novel quote.

As an Indian i can only reassure the fact that Britishs take longer than you expect them to leave something.

Solution: Physically dig up Northern Ireland and move it over on top of Wales.

2:35 "YOU wanted the wall in a different place, that was like your whole thing" "none of these are acceptable" It's almost as if the UK didnt think this through

I like how “the troubles” climbed back into the basket

EU: Are you leaving or staying? UK: Yes I am.

“We should take Northern Ireland and push it somewhere else” - Margaret Thatcher

What if we made the UK a colony of Ireland?

Eu: you're in too deep, you opened this can of worms, now lie in it Uk: what if i delete ireland

"That just kicks Northern Ireland down the road until we're right back where we started!" - Hong Kong has entered the chat.

can't wait for BREXIT, BRIEFLY **REREVISITED!**

As I Northern Irish citizen I can testify that the constant moving of walls is bad for traffic and inflates wall prices for everyone.

We need a Brexit, Briefly: REVISITED *REVISITED*

what if we put a wall on northern ireland but a happy wall that has smiley faces on it...

"theres nothing as permanent as a temporary solution"

Update on Brexit situation: EU and UK agreed on NI protocol so that UK could finally have their longed brexit after years of failed negotiations. NIP means commercial border at sea, between NI and rest of UK. 2 years later the UK is acting like a baby and saying it doesn't like that, so they want to do away with NI protocol, and they have threatened several times to simply ignore the protocol (by applying art. 16). Doing that would essentially give the UK access to EU single market, which the EU cannot tolerate, because you have to abide by certain rules (and negotiate the conditions of entry accordingly) in order to do that. That is the whole point of the EU. The UK was, once again, the one who decided not to do any of that: "brexit means brexit". Now UK and EU keep 'negotiating". EU keeps offering compromises, but UK does not care about those and wants the NIP done away with (or radical changes made to it) + removing the role of the European Court of Justice in settling the EU law that governs the single market, which are absolute red lines for EU. So, UK keeps on putting all the pressure on EU while threatening to ignore what they agreed to (and destroying all UK credibility on their international agreements, meanwhile). This is all causing economic problems and violence in NI, but UK doesn't seem to care and blames the EU when everyone should know by now it's not that simple. Both unions try to keep their integrity, and the point of NIP was the best agreed solution to a desperate situation of disagreement, caused by Brexit. The EU has recently started to lose their patience and decided to play that game as well, and has warned UK of "serious consequences" if they go with Art. 16. More Uk threats have ensued Also I'm saying UK, but we could say Boris Johnson when referring to all these political decisions, given how 48% of UK didn't want any of this to start with, and that 48% includes the majority of people in Northern Island. But this consideration is laughed at by most brexiteers. Opinion It's ironic how it's forgotten quite often throughout this conflict, that the whole point of forming the EU to start with was ending thousands of years of wars amongst European countries. And, albeit logical, it's depressing to witness people so willing to make an enemy out of other countries ( who have been dear allies) when there's global uncertainty, which is what ultimately brings about war, in all of its forms. It's a very complex world and we humans like easy answers like "those are the bad guys" to explain all of it. We forget easily. And that's why history repeats itself.

Two years on and they’re STILL kicking it down the road.

Why don't we just take Northern Ireland... And _push_ it somewhere else!

Instructions unclear, im building the iron curtain.

I like how CGP Grey kidnapped someone, taught them about brexit, then made them get off in the middle of the Atlantic

This video has come true 100% - a 3:35 *“the troubles" climbed back into the basket* Latest riots in belfast are small symptom of a huge future problem. If Boris - Keeps the wall in irish sea, Unionists will riot - Moves the wall to Irish land, Nationalists will riot We will get to know in the next season of Brexit saga.

The animations are fantastic. They're right at the convergent point of simple, fancy, and clear.

Eu: ok so you want a wall between Ireland and your land? Uk: well yes, but actually no.

It’s really funny… Because while there are three listed border solutions, what the UK actually wants is the fourth solution: where the UK border extends around the entire island of Ireland.

For those asking for another revisited: TLDR we picked option 3 (a border within our own country). We have a PM who wants to pretend the border doesn't exists while at the same time pretending he's getting rid of it soon (I. E. The infamous NI protocol).

The answer is obviously non-euclidean political geography

How about Schrodinger's Britain? We put the UK in a box and then it is neither (or simultaneously) part of the EU or not part of the EU.

Any chance of a re-revisit?

There's also a very... VERY horrible solution, but annexing another country just to simplify borders are generally frowned upon

60fps? 3D graphics? Voice acting with emotion? What happened to CGP Grey?!?!?!?

If CGP Grey can upload a video faster than Britain can make up its mind, we have a serious problem

Compromise: leaves all parties disgruntled. - this so true it’s amazing

Here's some solutions that will fix the issue: 1. The UK annexes Ireland 2. Ireland annexes Northern Ireland Oh wait, those are both terrible solutions.

It also doesn't help that a majority of Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU...

'There's nothing as permanent as a temporary solution.' - CGP Grey, 2019. I want that on a t-shirt.

United kingdom after Brexit: Yay, we fixed our problems. [Fire in the background]

I think north Ireland, Scotland and Wales should start taking matters to their own hands.

"There's nothing as permanent as a temporary solution." Truer words my friend....truer words...

Cgp Grey has started using emojis in his titles, all hell shall break loose

Ughh, I know right? It's even worse if like me you live here and immediately realized that brexit was never going to work and voted against it. They're literally deadlocked and I can't do a thing about it.

I like how the Netherlands at 0:41 has hagelslag

Wait, 3 videos in such a short time frame, this is too good, the next video is going to be in 2025

"Whats been going on with Brexit?" Honestly, nothing. Kinda what the problem is at this point.

With how poorly Brexit went, as a Canadian, I'm kicking back and relaxing as we wait for Brentrance.

He lets us go even after only three minutes of explaining

"What about Brexit?" "You've already voted on it." "We've voted once, yes. What about second Brexit?"

0:41 - I like how the Netherlands is just chilling out and eating hagelslag.

0:43 UPDATE: the Leading Economic Bloc for Brazil (Mercosur) is finalizing a free trade agreement with the European Union (Free Trade Treaty between Mercosur and the European Union). So technically we are closer to the EU than the UK. ANOTHER CURIOSITY: Brazil borders France (through French Guiana)!

It's so funny to come back to this years later, after Brexit is supposedly done and dusted, and remember that the UK made a choice with its triangle, didn't like it, and now is trying to blame the EU all over again

Northern Ireland: Let me in. LET ME INNNN!

That joke at the end... "You can leave now" Priceless!

You've done it again. Perfectly chronicled it without getting into a he said she said. Subbed

Now that it's 2021, it seems like this video is still entirely valid. Well speculated, Grey!

I love how he includes the border between the EU and Brazil with all of the French overseas territories.

Oh boy I can't wait for me, a youtube commenter, to solve this problem.

It's really disturbing to me that a lot of people are suggesting to invade Ireland

Solution: The UK becomes a french overseas territory and the issue of the EU is solved and it will never come up again.

0:43 (That's French Guiana, the reason why France has a landborder with Brazil, cool detail Grey) Edit : fixed a typo

Clearly those who are capable of getting themselves elected should under no circumstances be allowed to do the job. The only option left is Lord Buckethead.

And here we are, three years later, this video is still just as relevant today. The only thing that changed is that the can has a few more dents from being kicked down the road a couple more times.

*takes a shot* this aged exactly how you would have expected

Northern Irland seems kinda like a child with divorced parents

You think that's needlessly complicated!? Wait until Scotland declares independence and rejoins the EU! I wonder if that old Roman wall is still any good.

Patrick Star: Why don't we take Northern Ireland and PUSH it somewhere else?😝😏

What's the odds we're getting another one of these soon now that we're mostly "done"?

EU: Are you leaving the EU? Uk: "Yes, but actually no"

FYI: There's about 18 days to decide.

CGP Grey's is one of the extremely few voices that don't trigger my sound sensitivity during a migraine. I'm so glad I have something to listen to!

Brexit briefly rerevistites when?

"Becomes a trivia fact for a future video about how the UK has been in the process of leaving the EU for a hundred years..."

Grey look out! The book is climbing up the ladder! Grey! **OH GOD HE HAS AIRPODS IN HE CAN'T HEAR US**

Everytime I see what's happening in Northern Ireland, I remember about this video.

imagine this in the future the year is 2050 and UK didn´t decide how they gonna leave the EU yet...

"Brexit means Brexit" Threasa May 2025

0:42 3D animation in a CGP Grey video? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!

All Europe to UK: please don’t leave the union, we are stronger together. UK to Scotland, Wales and nrth Ireland: please don’t leave the union we are stronger together

Thank you so much for your videos; they are informative, entertaining and concise. I feel informed after watching them, which is not my usual state post BREXIT consideration!

Uk had a history of leaving things for a different generation. Cough cough Hong Kong 99 years

“There’s nothing as permanent as a temporary solution” - CGP Grey

It feels unreal that the time between the original and this revisit is now shorter than the amount of time between this revisit and now. Like, this video really didn't feel like it came out that long ago.

This makes no sense England made all the decisions on the behalf of Britain. They should suffer the consequences alone, just leave ireland and and scotland make their own decisions. I think it's better for North Ireland and the rest of ireland unit and remain under EU as well as scotland. While England can enjoy the separation that they have asked for.

"There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution" So wrong, yet so true xD

So, Grey, the UK has now officially committed to leaving the EU. Want to take another stab at being a Brexit Bookie?

Why not dig a canal? This then makes northern ireland an island unto itself without breaking the "no walls in ireland" rule. Problem solved.

Who knew this would come to bite us in the butt. No one could have possibly known. The electoral system is broken we need to get rid of FPTP with electoral reform.

Spain's mouth is watering while watching Gibraltar

Simple solution: England leaves the UK.

Compromise: Cthulhu rises from the deep and drags the entirety of the British Isles, with all its animals, peoples and chattels, down into his watery abyss.

Northern Ireland should reunite with Ireland the republic.

It's like dating. Attractive. Employed. Mentally stable. Pick two.

0:37 BRASIL fun fact: Brazil borders the EU, since the French Guiana is part of the EU. They even use euro.

That part where the book with the “troubles” gets back into the balloon with Grey 3:34

Very well put together & thought out perfectly, good content

I like how Ireland is a redhead 🇮🇪

Am I alone in finding Grey's country girls utterly adorable?

And now we’re right back where we started

Grey we need Brexit, briefly re-revisited! Please!
