Don't believe all you read about the British people having changed their minds. I don't know a soul who regrets their decision to vote 'Leave', but I do know several people who have admitted that it was the right decision and couldn't see it at the time. European nations have traded with each other for several thousand years - even through wars at times - without the 'help' of unelected politicians making up rules behind closed doors. I look forward to the total collapse of the EU and we can go back to direct trading as we used to do, and anyone who doesn't want a consignment of 'not perfectly straight cucumbers' only has to say 'No'. I have nothing against Europeans, but the pseudo-communist EU is definitely not to my taste. One size does not fit all. You are all individual nations with your own cultures, weaknesses and strengths, which reflects on the economy of the country, but the Brussels Circus would like you to be all the same. Not possible. Added to which some very stringent rules for membership were laid down but are conveniently forgotten if it is politically expedient to ignore the rules.

With that level of ignorance on all things geopolitics Remain used their vote to demand their votes never had any relevance again. That is some serious cognitive dissonance. As for Brexit, they said it would take over 10 years just to get worse trade deals with EU countries than we already had. We had the same or better deals with every EU country within two years. Yes, because of EU intransigence and their desire dissuade other countries leaving they refused to have mutually beneficial tariffs so EU goods cost a little more, but on the other hand we don't pay tens of billions up front just to be able to do that trade in a stagnating protectionist single market. Not only that but the EU dictated that we could not make new trade deals outside the EU without their approval, imagine voting for more of that tyranny and self harm! Now we have dozens of improved and new trade deals that diversify our exports and imports which is important in a global economy and bring in extra billions in GDP. We will soon be benefitting from massive new trade deal within the CPTPP that rivals the size of the EU market and unlike the EU is seeing good growth.

The aim of that emphasis is to make the voices sound "richer", but it also makes them to sound somewhat unnatural. The effect is not used very heavily, though, and some people actually prefer listening to audio where bass frequencies have been unnaturally emphasized.

@@mikeenwright2622Just because they have all got their greedy eyes on Western European taxpayers' money, each and every one a prospective net beneficiary, does not mean that EU expansionism across Eastern Europe is not reckless. Here is a selection: Albania (hotbed of gangsterism, corruption and medieval blood feuds), Serbia (traditional ally of Russia), Montenegro (traditional ally of Russia), Moldova (part of it coveted by Russia), Ukraine (currently at war with Russia), Turkey (upon its eventual accession it will instantly become the largest, the poorest and and the most populous member state). The others with their begging bowls out are Bosnia, North Macedonia and Georgia. As you will certainly know, because Remainers all knew what they were voting for, Lisbon Treaty Article 42 commits member states to the military aid of a member state under attack. Ukraine is currently under attack, so upon its accession, if the deadlocked situation remains the same, the EU will be at war with Russia. So your comment about reckless expansionism being "very silly" is itself very silly. And, of course, you will also know that the EU is heading for a federal state, so the notion of each one of these "independent sovereign states" remaining independent sovereign states is also very silly.

"...half a billion people use it daily without and it isn't a nightmare for them" I don't think he's saying that people struggle to use Euros in their everyday life. He's instead referring to the fact that in many Eurozone countries their productivity stagnated from the 1990s after they ditched their national currencies. The standard fix for this is currency devaluation (i.e. which makes your exports cheaper) but you can't do that within the Euro. Now if the economy is struggling then how is a government to cover increased spending commitments on things like welfare due to an aging population? Well you either borrow it or you allow living standards to decrease. Most Eurozone countries chose the former, then after requiring a bailout post-2008 ended up going with the latter. I'm shocked at how blind people are to the economic misery inflicted on Southern Europe by the Euro. Most of these countries have suffered a lost decade of economic growth which came at huge cost to living standards.

My thoughts exactly. Plus no mention of the importance of EU to continental security, promotion of rule of law and strong institutions (which he claims as one of his core beliefs), strength through solidarity, cooperation on global issues (not least climate change), nor that Brexit was above all an actual attack on Europe for which Brexiters, such as himself, were weaponised. These are things to be regretful for having threatened. Not just that it didn’t work out as well as he once thought it would.

Its impossible for the UK to join the EU in its current form. The new plans for an EU army alone prevent it. The people on videos like this one are delusional.

Norway will veto it.

The UK does not want to join the EFTA or the EEA. If we did we would not have joined CPTPP would we?

EFTA members have already said "no way".

​@AChapstickOrange they said that initially, many years ago because they didn't want the UK to use the EEA as a "waiting room" whilst it transitioned out of the single market. In 2021, a trade deal was created with EFTA states, also. The states agree that the UK will be the dominant force, but they don't seem to have an issue with that anymore. The UK being in the EEA gives the club more bargaining power.

Im a brit, he just wants financial security for our nation I personally still feel like we should do it ourselves and as a nation we are definitely great enough to recover from this little spell

@@EvanJGMegson Yes please, make your Brexitwork.

Be assured that there will be massive opposition against the UK re-applying for a new membership in the EU. A lot of countries have bones to pick with the UK, a lot of people are p!ssed off by the behavior the UK showed when it was a member. If I have to bet on it I'd bet on: re-entry denied.

Look no further than a certain US president that dared to try and monitor Israel's fledgling nuclear programme which caused an Israeli president to resign. Ghaddafi openly spoke of this. America has been steadfast pro-Israel ever since. The lobby is a vehicle to finance and direct policy, enforcing compliance is Mossad's job.

Agreed, many Brexiteers ignore that the UK economy recovered from covid much slower and much less than Germany France and other EU countries. The recession on the continent is mild with almost complete enployment maintained. In the Netherlands an important factor in the recession is that there is not enough personnel to fulfill many posotions which cause a slower economy.

Where you from Marty?

The only way the UK can improve its per capita GDP is by severely limiting the level of low end immigration. It'll also halt the sharp decline in IQ. Dysgenics is strongly linked to economic decline.

There are also too few workers in Germany, especially too few skilled workers. All of Europe is in a mild recession, inevitable after Covid, the energy restructuring and the war in Ukraine. As an export country, Germany is of course feeling this global purchasing reluctance somewhat more than countries that are not as export-oriented.

What a sad little man you are.

That’s a given, but would probably be overcome by pressure from the major players who do want the UK to return! Of course a lot would depend on the results of another referendum, if it was only a marginal result to rejoin then it wouldn’t exactly fill the member states with the confidence that we were serious about rejoining, and would indeed probably tell us to get lost! If the result to rejoin won in a landslide then I think all members would comply……eventually!

Why are you here?

Oh dear, dream on europhile.

Oh dear, dream on europhile.

Exactly, we still haven't fully left yet.

And what, exactly, would that involve?@@iainpattison903

@@iainpattison903 Cliched Leaver response, without evidence. If you mean, we are still influenced by the EU, then what on earth do you think would be the case? The EU is right next door to us, our biggest trading partner by necessity and sheer geographic reality, the largest grouping of fellow European states politically, culturally and economically. It's not going away. Of course we are going to be influenced most by the EU, even without being a member. That's reality - what are you afraid of?

Hehe. I sort of have something similar. I am a white male, and (therefor?) occasionally have people drone on about 'all those foreigners'. As it so happens, I was born in the US, but my parents are Dutch and they returned to The Netherlands when I was a kid. When I subtly bring to the fore that I may be white, but I am also a foreigner, they always shut up immediately. No! They're not racist! Not at all! But the second the foreigner 'stealing their job' is white, they run out of arguments and into excuses as to why 'I am not like those others'. Yeah... Right...

Mainly because people from Scotland, Wales N.I. and England are all British. We are an island nation. The British Empire was managed from Britain under British laws. To equate it to being in the EU would be like allowing Botswana to head the B/E and set rules/regulations for trade. It just wouldn't make sense.

So are we talking about 1. a harmless benign, trading bloc we were mad to leave. 2. a political entity, comprised of 27 sovereign nations, but putting their armed forces together and claiming the right to deploy them as its own. 3. The imminent federal state, under a central, federal government, making all major policy decisions and which no electorate can vote into or out of office (end of democracy in Europe), comprised of twenty-seven provinces, formed with absolutely no democratic mandate? You may choose two from three (except No.1 would be a fantasy, so not worth choosing).

So true. Especially Scots that are pro Scottish independence but pro EU

@@SJG-nr8uj You've just cobbled together one of the most baffling strawmen I've ever seen. The UK had no. 1 and had veto over the establishment of 2 and 3. It had a sweetheart deal and a seat at the table of one of the most powerful organisations of states in the world... and it blew it. Simple as that. But convince yourself it was all in service of saving the UK from some phantom superstate by being a smaller version of the same concept i.e. a customs union of countries that share resources and have a lot of autonomy aka the UK - if that makes you feel better.

It's total fake news mate.

WE in the EU decide who joins OUR union.

France?

Support for rejoining is support for a rose tinted fantasy that would never exist. If a serious conversation ever starts, the realities, costs and restrictions will not be acceptable. We’ll never rejoin.

How is the Eurozone?

The UK left because of racism, arrogant xenophobia and the "they need us more".... nonsense... lol

The UK got special treatment when it was last in the EU, English being the language, no need to join the single currency, funding of UK projects with EU funds. Won't happen again. The UK now needs to focus on bandaging up the gaping self-inflicted wounds from Brexit, a generation will have to pass away to get back into the EU.

The problem is that the Brexit role in wrecking the economy impacts all these other issues. Not just with less money being available, but by us kicking out so many necessary workers, just so a bunch of Brexiters could be xenophobic without feeling guilty.

⁠@@peter65zzfdfh Yeah totally agree. It’ll take probably decades before we could rejoin the EU.

@@peter65zzfdfh Haha when the EU has to move periodically from Brussels to Strasbourg do you really think they could agree on a replacement language?

Please tell us what you know about EU fiscal union, EU economic union, EU political union, the unification of member states’ armed forces under command of the European Council, the reckless expansionism of the EU across Eastern Europe, and the unfettered migration into the EU from North Africa and the Middle East, at the EU’s open invitation.

With all its faults, the UK has been a stable, evolving democracy for over 300 years. France is on its fifth Republic since 1792. Reunited Germany just over 30 years old is born of two utterly foul regimes. Italy has had 76 governments in 76 years. EU itself is just over 30-years-old. Thirty-seven countries use variations of Westminster system including Denmark, Ireland, Australia, Japan, Canada & NZ. Come back in 300 years to tell UK about “political maturity”.

"Starmer is NOT being dishonest. The UK will NOT rejoin the EU during the next parliament" - He also said that "Britain's future lies outside the European Union" - and "Freedom of movement is gone and it's not coming back". Did he mean those things? Or was he lying?

@@dogglebird4430 He may be sincere about that, but I am sure the People can prevail on him to act differently. Certainly, a new referendum will decide this issue, not the opinion of a single man. But first public opinion must become overwhelmingly in favour of rejoining. Perhaps, like Cameron, he will step down after the referendum.

@@TheEvertw "He may be sincere about that, but I am sure the People can prevail on him to act differently." - You mean his word can't be trusted because others could persuade him to break it? "But first public opinion must become overwhelmingly in favour of rejoining." - Yes, and to determine that would necessitate a fresh referendum - with it made perfectly clear that the UK would have to accept some quite unpopular terms, like the Euro, unlimited migration from poor EU states, a huge financial contribution with no rebate, Schengen and so forth. An "overwhelming majority" for that? Don't hold your breath.

And the EU have poor border controls with the rest of the world.
