BREXIT: Only An Issue In The EUROPEAN UNION's Elections!
Coming up! Former Tory Leadership candidate Michael Heseltine has warned British voters that the 2024 general election campaign “will be the most dishonest in modern times” because of the refusal of all the main parties to debate the consequences of Brexit. Meanwhile in France, Emmanuel Macron’s side kick, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, is attempting to reduce support for the Far Right French populist party headed up by Marine Le Pen, by warning French voters that she once wanted Frexit, taking France out of the EU. Don’t let’s be like the British, who cried after Brexit.” He warned. VIDEO. Stay tuned for more on what HE had to say about a BREXIT that Michael Heseltine wants BRITISH politicians also to be talking about.

No European country has ever wanted to leave, the anti-EU movements are pretty much concentrated in the far-right fringes. These anti-EU political groups may do better in the EU elections, as protest votes against their own governments & not directly against the EU but it's difficult to see any significant number of Europeans voting for 'leave' parties in their general elections. The difference in the UK is prehaps the very influencial right-wing media which has been indoctrinating the British public for decades against the EU & a general misunderstanding in the general public of how the EU, or indeed the world,actually works.

To be fair I hadn’t calculated it this way. I’d previously worked out that the amount the UK paid to the EU came to about £200 per person each year and it’s now estimated that we are all £2,000 a year worse off due to Brexit. I find that these are easier numbers to understand and recall and, although they’re not directly measuring business opportunities, they do show that when we were part of the EU we (each person) gained about ten times as much in benefits compared to the cost.

Brexit left the UK hanging. When you want to matter as a middle-sized country in a globalised world, when you want to have a seat at the table with the big players (US, China, a future India) and have a say in things, you form a union with other middle-sized and smaller countries in your neighbourhood. So you can have a seat at the big table as a union. If you choose to leave that union, there's only place left for you at one of the small tables. Where you're reduced to being a rule-taker with hardly any leverage. And where the big players will s(h)it on you, whenever they feel like it.

It's still a divisive and messy subject and vowing to try and reverse Brexit will give Farage a lifetime supply of media oxygene - so I'm hoping Labour are being strategic right now.

Starmer whipped his MPs to vote for the current Brex💩 deal. He has stated clearly "no return to the single market, freedom of movement etc". He wants to make Brexit work. He is mistaken and anyone that votes Labour is voting for the continuation of the current situation

Well I wont be voting Labour or Tory as they both facilitated it. Both parties clearly have one thing in common, they both act as corporate lobbyists for big business interests that line their pockets and care nothing for small businesses or working class.

And Starmer had a word with his socialist partners in the EU who told him, don't talk about things that are not in your power to deliver. The UK asking to join is the small part of the problem. Getting the EU to let them in after all the bad feelings created by the UK is the big part of the problem. They might insist that the UK takes steps to avoid a repeat of that before they even consider to talk. I'm making an educated guess. Most countries in the EU, and the EU itself are governed by PR coalition governments. Not very efficient, but you need a lot of different parties to all agree on stuff. Which does work well on avoiding the really stupid stuff. Remember Cameron's words 'a reformed EU?' The EU does!
Never in the field of human conflict was so much *ucked up for so many by so few.
Keep going, mate. Yours is a refreshingly honest, truthful and principled stand. Your detractors are deluded, dishonest or both.
You may not talk about brexit, you may believe it is done, but, like reality, you will get it anyway, and brexit will be technically complete next year, in 2025, if any of those people would only bother to read the Leave Agreement. Not talking about the problems will not hid them, take a look at the living standards in the UK and compare them to the rest of Europe, or just keep comparing the UK to France and Germany, when its like comparing Apples to Pears. I prefer harsh truths to comfortable lies, and so should you all in the UK.
Oh that red wall, and now the conservatives are going to loose Clacton. Good vid.
Cross party agreement to discuss and recognise the problem would be a first step. Then a structured effort to educate the electorate. This relies on politicians wanting what's best for Britain not just their personal ambitions.
excellent, rob - thank you again 😊

The only thing we can say is that had the Tories not been in power then Brexit would not have happened.

With regards to Britain's NHS present sorry state, worsening since Brexit not only because of the departure of so many EU professionals, but also because of supply of drugs and equipment manufactured in the continent. I'm a Spanish Hospital Operating Theatre Practitioner, I worked for the NHS for over 35 years specializing in Anaesthetics. Just before Brexit, and while routinely checking anaesthetic drugs expiry dates, I also checked where the drugs in my anaesthetic room cupboard were manufactured. Unsurprisingly, over 90% of them came from the EU.

Thanks Rob.Michael has been so verbally abused because of the last video on his channel.Disagreeing is fine but many who have suddenly turned up sound like the ".......but I can lift heavy weights" brigade.:/
I'm very proud to have voted remain! I can't wait to vote to rejoin one day. I just wish main land Europeans understood that it was a close vote and that remainers fought hard to make the rest of the country see sense. I did cry the day of the result. I knew we were f*cked.

It's up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when... Leaving the EU is up to every EUs member state, but joining = is up to the EU27 only. The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment = a national debt of max 55 %, the UKs national debt is at 101,2 % recently... The EU27 have changed some joining criteria due to the financial crisis in 2008, therefor the "national debt of max 55 % is needed" = because it's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy...

Nobody cares about the suffering families like mine went through. I am English and my late husband Italian. We retired to England and the uncertainty of post vote was horrendous. It was dangerous if people heard a foreign language an elderly Italian lady was told to go back to her country. She had lived, and worked, in England since she was 16!! My husband has since died and I now live alone in Italy. A Brexit exile. I would say I’m glad that so many Brits are suffering from the economic fallout but many voted remain like me and poverty does not discriminate. Politicians are cowards and it is high time they found a backbone and stood up to the right wing media and the wealthy who are only too happy to get richer at the population’s expense.
We will return to the EU.

Let’s get Labour elected first. We might be able to address Europe afterwards by putting pressure on our new Labour MPs. The defeat of the Tories and Reform must be the top priority at the moment.
Thank you for helping to keep those of us who know how crazy it was to leave the EU to stay sane and focused on reversing this utterly stupid situation that we are in. It must be very time consuming and possibly just a little boring to continually point out the absolute thruth of this monumental mistake
I have not seen any tears of sadness here where I am . But yes we have had a few tears
EU is a idea on peace and no war. Later on it became economical. So everyone wants the nice bits from the pie. Security, defense, energy, water and food must be on the agenda.
Ironically, in the EU, Brexit is most certainly over. This will give the UK it's final Brexit disappointment when the UK says "We'd like to rejoin", expecting to be accepted in a month or so, and the EU responds: "Here's a list of requirements for third countries, now go and join the queue, and we'll get to you when we have time. And when Brexit supporters complain about this 'punishment', the response will be "You had a vote, you won, get over it."
Austerity and Brexit the Silent Killers in our Midst. I hope Starmer steps up to the plate after the GE, He has to if we want the Economy to grow. Taxes are the highest in 70 years, and we still cannot afford anything.

Well said sir as usual, Brexit has been an absolute disaster, the misery and chaos it has caused, you are correct about Tory and Labour, they are sweeping it under the carpet,deep down they know this has created chaos,the only party I ever hear talking about the mess because of Brexit is the SNP, Scotland voted to stay in but we’re dragged out anyway, neither wonder Scotland 🏴 wants independence and back into the EU, who can blame them, not me
On the one hand, Brexit didn't solve any of the problems they said it would. But on the other, it introduced plenty of new ones.
Politicians are not the problem - it's who is bankrolling them and that goes a lot deeper than we know!
