First off, The EU is not like the USA at all! The EU wants centralised top down power controlled by unelected bureaucrats. Secondly, The graph at 2:23 doesn't track closely to USA from 2008 onwards the EU is sideways, this is because of problems created by the Euro currency. They knew these problems would happen but they went ahead with the currency anyway. 3:42 pretends most immigrants are refugees and ignores economic migrants from north africa (not looking like a balanced video so far) 4:20 cameron's renegotiation was a complete failure and a sham. EU didn't give the UK anything, In fact the renegotiation helped the vote leave side during the referendum. OMG they're just too much one-sidedness and twisting to list. Soft brexit is remaining in EU in all but name. "hard" brexit is leaving the EU and regaining sovereignty. Terms "hard" and "soft" brexit have been created in the hopes that remainers can keep us in the EU but call it "soft" brexit. There's been a whole raft of good economic news for the UK since the vote. 10:34 A COMPLETE LIE, A F@*KING LIE! recent polls show brits are now 68% in favour of leaving the EU, 22% remain, 10% don't know/care. yougov.co.uk/news/2017/05/12/forget-52-rise-re-leavers-mean-pro-brexit-electora/ Then at the very end "is this a classic case of people not appreciating what they have and thinking the grass is greener on the other side" Was expecting this to be followed by a "or is it......

But the majority of the polls in that graph show that people think brexit is right, including the latest polll from 10-11 July 2017. The video then highlights the minority of polls which give the opposite answer. This is a clearly biased video, which is obviously trying to push an agenda rather than state facts.

Harrison Angel Actually the five he highlighted weren’t the most recent I think he is just cherry picking the ones that fit his argument

Article 50 is pretty clear that a withdrawal cannot be revoked unilaterally. It unambiguously says that after the notification, the notifying member state will leave after two years unless all member states agree otherwise. Just because the author says it's revocable doesn't mean it is. The UK tried to pull this stunt before in Hong Kong. The Treaty unambiguously said Honk Kong would be returned to China while the author of the Treaty claimed it was merely a figure of speech. Hong Kong returned to China.

Couldn't be more biased if you tried. The funniest part was 9:35 when you said that opinion polls were "consistently showing" that the result *would* be reversed if the referendum were held again, while highlighting only five out of fifteen polls! Each only had a 1 percentage point lead, and 11% undecided, each only of a sample of about two thousand people. Dismal analysis.

3:31 "millions of refugees fled war torn countries in the Middle East and North Africa" - then you show a boat full of mainly sub-Saharan African migrants who are not from the war torn Middle Eastern or North African countries 3:33 "As immigration rates rose across Europe, the preferred destination was one of the big three economies." Well already, since these people are cherry picking their destinations to be the most economically prosperous, this makes it clear that they are not refugees fleeing war, but opportunistic economic migrants. 3:45 "Anti immigrant, nationalist feeling." There is a difference between being anti immigration and "anti immigrant." "Anti immigrant" means just being against the migrants themselves, and while on the surface appearing to be an abbreviation, actually substantially alters the meaning, and puts those holding the views in a bad light, while failing to face the actual issues.

1. Why the referendum was held at all wasn't mentioned. Cameron promised it to get right wing politicians on his side (or in short: to gain and keep power), but didn't believe it would have any consequence 2. The EU isn't hard to punish the UK or to discourage other member states from leaving. It's just a logical thing. If you want access to the common market you have to obey some rules. There cannot be exceptions that would put the UK in a better position than Norway for example (like it would be if the UK was allowed to trade withing the common market but not accept free movement) - or even a member state. Actually Merkel said that. And there are only a few issues that are a red line for the EU. For example the border between Nothern Ireland and Rep. of Ireland. And of course: if you want to act within the internal market without tariffs you cannot make your own trade deals. Otherwise the UK could circumvent EU tariffs (importing goods into EU states without the EU tariffs having any effects). Of course the UK thinks the same the other way around. Also no other country wants to leave, on the contrary. 3. Independency doesn't mean the UK can do whatever it wants. There's still the WTO and it has rules. A lot of the things UKIP promised would go against those rules. Of course the UK could also leave the WTO... oh and 4. another important thing: The UK only joined because it was bankrupt. The political union was never wanted, just access the economic area (and so UK politicans told the EU/EC project was only about trade although they new it was more).

Its cool these days to go against what the government says especially the Tories however if their was a second referendum I can guarantee you now that the British Public would yet again vote to leave the EU because we don't want to pay as much as we do towards the EU, we don't want to obey all of their laws, and we don't want to deal with problems like Greece anymore.

Grow up and realize that Brexit means Brexit and we are leaving for the benefit of the country.

I am a migrant. I do not have higher education but i do have over 17 years of experience in industrial environments and i have never benefited from any social program in these 17 years from any country, neither i would ever accept such thing, i would rather kill myself than live with the thought that i need help to survive. I have worked 8 years in Czech Republic and recently got a permanent position here in England. All my friends are here, all my friends work here honestly. This Brexit will only open a clear dor to migrant exploitation through visa fees, lower wages, uncertainty and unpredictability, things that will probably deter most of us to leave the UK. We are polish, czech, slovaks, romanians, bulgarians, spanish, italians, french, portuguese and from every other EU member countries. We are not all doctors or engineers, most of us work in factories and warehouses on minimum wages doing maximum amounts of effort and sacrifice to be able to afford a sustainable life, doing the best we can under the conditions we have. This Brexit is not about migrants from outside EU, not about asylum seekers or benefit seekers. This Brexit is aimed at the honest working tax paying EU citizens. For me personally, i couldn`t care less, i can find work in two seconds anywhere in this world due to my experience. The only thing i hate about this is that i finally met with my childhood friends, you know... the type of friends lasting for a lifetime that you can`t really do later in life and now iwe might consider to leave, each of us, on different paths once again. But now imagine all the polish, bulgarian, romanian and all other EU partially skilled workers leaving UK. The factory i currently work in would remain with 10-15% of the current staff and this is the thing around most if not all warehouses. Most if not all medium size production facilities relly on this flux of people, who come, work, pay taxes and will never even get pension rights for the years spent here, most of us don`t even attend one medical exam per year, most of us have no idea about benefits, human rights or any other rights than the right to break your back 8 to 12 hours a day and be happy if the employer pays in time and fairly... Well, this is the situation from my perspective as an economic migrant who has seen and worked in 4 European states and does not want to be either glued in one place or claim any other benefit than the salary he has earned fair and square. Brits also benefit from the free movement of goods and people, also benefits from comon markets, common infrastructure, common waters and so on. The 35 billion investment in the EU is an INVESTMENT IN COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE and COMMON SERVICES, in laws, in security, in culture, in education things that will benefit us all regardless of the place we come from. Streinght is only found in unity, 1 milion people will always have more than 10 people and this is the ratio for together or alone.... Yes, Britain will not die under any kind of Brexit. But now, how many of you are royalty? Because only royalty and upper class can afford this, the hardship will be felt by the british undergraduate, by the british commoner and by the legal EU economic migrants, not by politicians, not ofshores but by small and medium businesses that can`t afford relocation to the Union. All i can say is Good luck Britain and God save the Queen!

"... plunged themselves entirely into the unknown." Really? Great Britain has been an independent union for more that 300 years, and England has been an independent country for almost a thousand. Returning to that after twenty years in the EU isn't exactly "the unknown." You lost me ten seconds into the video.

I feel you missed some important factors leading to Brexit such as the rise of UKIP, a large influx of eastern European migrants to the UK during a time of austerity and a struggling social healthcare and education system. I voted against brexit but i feel the video isnt very balanced and makes it seem as though Britain voted to leave the EU because they didn't want to accept refugees from war torn countries.

FAKE NEWS: 85% of British voters voted for a pro brexit party this election. This means that they obviously do not regret their vote to leave in 2016. And the EU is no longer a trading union but has become a non democratic superstate, ruled by unelected far left globalists. So sad.

He said thatopinion polls are "consistently showing that the result would be reversed in the future", the results show that we are still more likely to vote leave. There were 5 results showing we would remain compared to the 10 saying we would leave. Ngl but in my opinion that still shows that we are wanting to leave more than remain .

Can we have a english version of this?

Wow! This is the best explanation that I've had so far! Thanks for this video, it's amazing!

All they hear and get through the different media's are all of the negatives and bias reports through the media .

Yeah ..one world order and absolute control. This is just the first step, for the "elitists to control every aspect of mankind".

This video is 'tosh' - most of the people who voted for Brexit are frustrated that it is not moving fast enough and that the 'remainers' are busily trying to subvert the peoples decision via a so-called 'soft' Brexit (which is really no Brexit at all!) Some of reasons I voted to leave the EU are: - to halt mass migration which is swamping our public services - healthcare, council housing, education, transport, welfare - all need more investment in order to maintain standards. We have seen hundreds of thousands of people each year migrate from Eastern Europe to attach themselves to the UK welfare nipple. - sovereignty - the EU is effectively run by the 28 EU commissioners - the EU commissioners are faceless and unelected. As a result, if you don't like a law imposed by them we have little or no ability to change the law via the democratic process. The UK opposed EU policies on something like 70 occasions and lost every time! The Lisbon Treaty was waved through in the UK without a vote. - the huge regulatory burden imposed by the EU. Every regulation has a cost associated with it that crushes smaller competitors and increases costs for consumers. This is why the large corporates and special interests have 15,000 lobbyists working in Brussels to influence decisions on their behalf. The EU is great for the elite and large corporates but not so good for small businesses and the ordinary working man in the UK. - the enormous cost of membership of the EU. The UK is the second highest contributor of funds to the EU - apparently our exit will blow a £20 billion hole in their budget! The EU bureaucrats are living large on our money - 10,000 of them are paid more than our Prime Minister and they have awarded themselves gold-plated pensions that are eye-wateringly high. This is why they are desperate to agree the exit bill before they will agree a free trade deal. - the EU has not had their accounts properly audited since inception - this implies a high level of fraud and corruption is endemic within the institution, with billions of euros being misappropriated. - the EU's share of world trade is declining rapidly as its economies stagnate compared to the rest of the world. It is highly desirable therefore to free ourselves up to trade with the rest of the world which is growing more rapidly. It is encouraging to see that the US , Australia and others want a free trade deal with the UK. (One professor has calculated that free world trade would drop consumer prices by at least 8% in the UK.) - if we cannot agree a free trade deal with the EU, we simply go onto WTO rules i.e. a 3% tariff as I understand it. However, there is an 80 billion trade surplus between the UK and the EU in their favour,, so it seems to me that it would be as much in Europe's interests as ours to agree a sensible trade deal. I could go on and on but you somehow managed to miss the mark in your video which seems to suggest that by voting Brexit we have made a mistake. I strongly feel it would be a mistake to remain in the EU which is part of the Globalist architecture which will do nothing good for the working man in the UK.

Also, when comparing hard and soft brexit, you say a hard brexit would have tarrifs, but couldn't there be a bilateral free trade agreement?

The recent polls (toward the top of the chart) show a noticeable shift (albeit slight) toward remain, while also showing that around 10-12% are now undecided. Remember, 51.9% voted for Brexit, so the fact that it's polling at 44/45% means a significant amount of the country is having second thoughts. In terms of the tariff issue, like I said in the video, I don't see why the EU would give the UK a break. The UK is in a very weak negotiating position + the EU needs to make an example out of the UK for leaving. You're right, they may reach a deal, but the overall terms are almost guaranteed to be less advantageous than what it had before. www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-tariffs-idUSKBN17M1LS

The articles you linked is pretty much an opinion piece of the BRC,; all the points seem to come from them. are they respected for their economic wisdom? are they not biased toward am agenda that benefits the retailers they represent? 51.9% of the people who voted voted for brexit. are these polls of people who voted? There were as many undecideds in polls before brexit. as for claiming a shift, perhaps you should have only highlighted the three disfavor polls near the top then. if the disfavor poll in late april is recent enough, so are the four favor ones in may, which would bring the score to 5-5-1. Also, there seems to have been less polling in june/july, so I would say the data is less certain. I'd also be curious to see the polls that were done before the ones you show. the "shift" your purporting. could just be one of several flucuations since brexit. doesn't a deal benefit the EU? would they really shoot themselves in the fot just to make "an example"? Some EU countries have a troubling presence of euroskepticism, perhaps they're worried that their country will also want to leave and they don't want a bad deal for britain to set a precedent. Besides, if the EU is so good for everyone, why would their be a need to scare countries into staying? and who are the powers that feel the need to do so? it's clearly wouldn't be ALL of the other 27 EU states. I didn't see anything in the video about why britain's negotiating position would be weak. on what basis would you make that claim? once again, a deal benefits everyone. The british would likely accept anything resembling the sort of deal that any other two nations might have. No compelling reason for the EU not to either, not even example making.

Personally, the scariest part that we haven't had Brexit yet is that democracy hasn't been honoured, more than the uncertainty of Brexit and the potential of a no-deal exit...

Kerrie there’s so many issues that need to be addressed, like Irish border, Eu won’t allow cheap, chlorinated meat to flood Eu through Ireland, thus a hard border has to be put up violating good Friday agreement, which most of brexiteers couldn’t care less about. Also, I don’t see anyone lining up to trade with uk outside of Eu, how can you leave a market that provided big percentages of country’s food fruit veg and other goods and services without anything else in place. Of course businesses will still be able to trade but those goods will be minimum 20% more expensive, there’s already 200,000 people living reliant of food banks, they’ll suffer even more. People don’t think about these things, they’re blind sheeps, fanatics who’ll sacrifice well-being of their kids and themselves just to leave. Also, Brits believe that USA and former colonies will shower them with cheap, Barier-“less trade. Trump already said that they don’t mind helping Brits but usa will always come first

The thing is Britain was being treated differently then other eu country, if we ask for something to be changed (like immigration in the UK) they pie us and tell us no, but other countries who ask the same get a different response

The grass is greener on the other side of Trisha May her wheat field.

Incredibly biased report. And for the record, the latest oplnion shows that 70% of Britons now support Brexit. Add the fact that as well as the British, people across Europe are beginning to realise just what the EU is and what it stands for - deeply undemocratic and tyrannical.

4:30 That's just a lie. In fact, there's a criteria called "The Copenhagen Criteria" (in Denmark; Edinburg Agreement in English), which dwellves in on this; Denmark made a "Special Deal" a long time ago. "The first Danish Maastricht Treaty referendum in Denmark was held on 2 June 1992, but a shortfall of fewer than 50,000 votes resulted in the treaty not being ratified.[10][11] After the failure, alterations were made to the treaty through the addition of the Edinburgh Agreement which lists four Danish exceptions. The treaty was eventually ratified the following year on 18 May 1993, after a second referendum was held in Denmark.[12]"

As a Brit, who voted leave I feel you mischaracterized the most crucial aspect that forced us to vote for Brexit. It was the courts. I don't know if it's difficult to understand for an American but we British folk take a great amount of pride in our independence. The idea that we: the people elect a minister who then must answer to some bully in Brussels who nobody elected!? Absolutely not! this is not acceptable! I understand this video was made a long time ago, but since then the polls show overwhelmingly that vastly more remoaners have become leavers since the shocking treatment of the Visegrad four and the absence of the Brussels Broadcasting Channel's fear mongering. I will quote one of our great British exports; Micheal Caine, to close. Win, lose or draw on Brexit, I would rather be a poor master of my own destiny, than a rich servant of somebody elses! nuff. said. Fine cinematography though, I enjoyed the video, jolly good work.

You have a very negative view of Brexit. I find it hard to believe the majority of people actually living in the country don't know better than you, especially given this video. Watch how it unfolds, the UK actually made the more rational move. Why settle for trading freely just with the EU when you can have both - make free trade deals with the EU, US, China, etc. without paying into the EU and being subjected to its laws. Would the United States ever give up any sovereignty to say Canada and Mexico? And using the US as an example for the EU isn't accurate. Britain and France are already countries like the US, and each with far longer histories.

So three years later no one can agree on what to do?

Here in Switzerland 2 weeks is normal and often comes with a customs letter asking for money. The worst I have had so far was a one month delay on some electronics. It is also very visible that countries in the EU develop policies and standards that suit them, then they become de-facto standards for anyone doing business with the EU. GDPR is a case in point. It applies in Switzerland even though it is a massive piece of EU legislation (as a private individual I am very happy with it but I can understand why businesses that had got used to passing user information around freely don't like it). The Swiss government is due to update their own privacy laws next year but whatever they come up with, businesses here will de-facto be using GDPR. I find the difference in culture between startups in London and here in DACH (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) quite striking. We Brits are free wheeling and move fast and one of the biggest developments for startups in London a few years ago was that we had managed to open up more of the EU thanks to so called passporting rights, letting us sell there. Now all that is down the pan. I am ever optimistic but there is no point in pretending that currently Brexit has been anything other that really turdy and the immediate foreseeable outlook is worse.

It was incredibly biased, you should try looking elsewhere for a fair explanation.

Countries could always leave before Lisbon. Treaties are agreements that countries can always decide to leave (the countries are sovereign; the UK Parliament [on entering] made it so that laws made in the EU were considered to have gone through parliament, thus it's technically a UK Law, but not voted on by British MPs). But the "Lisbon Treaty" is, well, a treaty, isn't it? It is a treaty, but before Lisbon, the EU planned to have an EU Constitution, and after it was rejected (by referenda) in 4 counties (including the major power of France) and due to be voted on in 6 more, it was scrapped. Thus, they used the Constitution as a basis and removed lots of things that made it unpopular (an EU Flag, an EU anthem) but kept the essential bits. It made Article 50 to provide a legal framework for leaving the EU since Constitutions, unlike Treaties, are technically unexitable (ask Texas). But since Lisbon was a treaty, not a constitution, it doesn't really need it. By the way, they decided Democracy wasn't needed with Lisbon so in the end, only 2 referendums were held. Once by Ireland to reject the Treaty, then another to sign the treaty.

Thanks, it's quite edifying as I am a student of IR, Greatly explained in a nutshell.

The average swiss trades 3x more with other countries, and they are not in the union. So, if the union isn't for trade, then what is it for? Creating a over-centralised communist-like superstate?

Ultimately, it is the EU that has a great deal to lose. And I must say that the EU is a sad institution. Not because of the common currency or free movement... but because the EU isn't a democracy and the officials can't be held accountable. Commissions, bureaucrats, etc... the EU failed in bringing forth democracy to the common EU citizens. This is the failure of the EU.

"No UK" within the EU means that German companies are going to withdraw from Britain and relocate 260.000 well payed British jobs back to the continent. By trying to gain back a sovereignty you never lost, from a supposed "German-dominated" Europe which doesn't exist, you have effectively turned Britain into a plaything, a toy that's going to be pushed around by giants. We warned you over and over again, but why should you listen to your most reliable business partner when you're about to do the silliest thing in the history of international trade.

Hi, actually from the Uk, and voted to leave the EU. Once again a video portraying that leaving the EU is so ruinous that it would be total madness to have done so. It was actually the European coal and steel community in the 1950's that started to unite European country's economically and politically giving rise to the EEC. The UK wanted to be part of the EEC for Trade, but as the years wore on and with each pro European government that got into power, further treaties seeded more sovereignty to the EU without a vote by the people. The direction of travel is to be one massive country all but in name. This is a one size fits all, rich pay for poor country's social utopia with no regard to nationhood (which is always represented as being racist) All of the issues that are given as reasons are temporal, they change and have changed for years but the has always been a very strong eurosceptic presence in British life. I find it odd how Americans one of the Most overtly patriotic nation cannot understand why we wouldn't want to be fully independent, you have a public holiday to celebrate it, but if we do it, we are some how backwards looking silly people. The truth is we are a strong and stable country with great expertise and skills, with a long history and culture, we want to be globally trading on our terms to all country's equally not in a protectionism cartel that the EU has become. Also, don't be fooled by the terms 'hard or soft' Brexit (and it's said brekzit not bregsit) one means leave the EU one means stay. The single market is also a master piece of great slogan PR. What the single market means is 'common regulatory regime' and to be a part of it you forgo all rights to regulate yourself, and when this includes, people, capital, services and trade, that's a lot you are not in control of. And to all the doom-mongers, when we left the ERM in the 90's total economic disaster was predicted the opposite happened in the years after. When we didn't join the Euro in the early 00's many column inches were wrote about how we would become a marginalised and insignificant country and the opposite happened, crystallising in the financial meltdown and the almost destruction of the Euro due to no fiscal unity. I see the UK being a nimble global player reaching outwards into the world, as an independent and proud nation.

What I found is more or less what you have described. We should have been taught what the EU is in school, but had they done that the leave vote would have been even higher.

Pity that the article failed to mention that there are other opinion surveys indicating a greater number of people would now vote to leave under a second referendum. The article, while mentioning the vote in Scotland, did not mention that many in Scotland want independence from the rest of the UK and to be part of the EU. The article should have mentioned that the London vote had the greatest influence on the total 'remain' vote. That looking further into the London vote showed immigrant demographics had significant influence over the level of the remain vote. Many people in London still consider their country of origin or identity as home, with no great allegiance to the UK - I can understand why those people would vote to remain.

If reunification happens does tyat mean they'll need to get rid of St Patricks flag from the Union Flag?

Worst video I've seen on the issue. This is both propaganda(as you cover none of the negitives of political integration) and historically incorrect. Take the UK "being left out" in 1945. They were invited and the UK, to the dismay of some in europe, said no. The UK takes part in free movement but, like Ireland, aren't in the schengen zone. The difference being you're free to go there but need a passport at the border. They also tried to join the Euro (via the european exchange rate mechanism) but were forced out by the markets (this is called black wednesday). The problem with immigration with mostly legal immigration from countires such as Poland (3 million have came to the UK in a decade). It had very little to do with the migrant crisis. The UK has opt-outs of any EU policy on immigration. It's why the UK isn't one of the countires being "sued" for not taking more people in. The one attempt at bringing this up in the vote was widely condemned by both sides. The other time was of coruse the death of jo cox, an issue I have no idea how you didn't talk about. Even if you don't see it as having changed votes the shock and pausing of campaigning should have been mentioned.

I did not know that so much people from Poland came to the UK. When did that happen? I also didn't know that Ireland is not at Schengen. You explain your statement very good. Thank you!

Here, here! Propaganda, pure and simple.

Biased in favour of remain

Clearly, the UK will pay a short term price for Brexit. We in the US who value freedom should be sensitive to that fact and work to mitigate the affects of that price. We should come along side them like we did in WWII to our mutual benefit. Brexit bonds are one idea, they would provide liquidity to settle EU accounts and develop new markets.

This is an excellent piece of accurate unbiased reporting, one of the best I’ve seen. I take no pleasure is saying, but Britain IS in a weak negotiation position. While Britain does indeed have a large trade surplus with the EU, it has to be remembered that almost 50% of all its exports go to the EU. In the case of the EU only around 10% of EU exports comes to Britain, so Britain will be proportionally hit much harder than the EU by a no-deal Brexit. I fully appreciate that some Brits just want out and to hell with the repercussions, but they owe it to themselves, their compatriots and to future generations to, at the very least, think about their decision.
