I have a house here, a job, pension, pay my taxes etc. and so am fully committed to life in the UK. But now I am for the first time questioning my future here. I didn't vote for Brexit, not because I think the EU is some perfect institution (it clearly is not) but because it a rather large single market and it does not make fiscal sense to leave such a market. We should have stayed in the with Europe and fought our corner. Now it looks like the UK will break apart before too long. Thanks Tories, you’re supposed to be conservative not reckless.

Hi James… seeing you on a vlog shows how passionate you are about the UK and the working classes that have no voice and have been undermined for as long as I can remember. I am 65yrs left school at 14yrs earning net £9 a week: paid my mother £3, £2:50 covered fares and a sandwich so £4.50 was mine. In those days £1 would buy you 3 pints and a pack of 20 cigarettes. Publicans decided if you were old enough to work you was old enough to drink…the coppers turned a blind eye. Move on fifty-one years and all of “our group” have no money worries our grandchildren all privately educated and quite simply for me the only boring day of the year is Christmas Day. During Covid I had no PAYE or self employed income for a year…only problem her indoors suddenly had a list of jobs. Every filled an eight yard skip by yourself. This Country has given me everything adopted into a great family at seven working at fourteen and found my soulmate at eighteen…44yrs next February. No favours, never asked for a pay rise always in work. The same for all my mates: the only difference some chose the Bentley I put my stock into the family: two daughters and four grandchildren. I despair at Britain today on the one side we are the best in the world (Formula One) when we want to be: on the flip side an education system not fit for purpose, no structure for the young to climb (through hard work) the social ladder. There is no stewardship in the home, the classroom and with the disaster which is Truss at the highest level. There is a lot of brilliant women very angry with her. Britain will pay the price for undermining the working classes and and abject under investment for decades. Attlee, Churchill, Thatcher and Major are the standout Prime Ministers... Boris could off joined them but he decided to have a few beers after getting us through Brexit and Covid. Destroy the economy, pension funds a run on the pound: that's ok. Britain needs Chartered Engineer’s in every discipline, mathematicians, scientists etc…state schools don’t even require students to write things down anymore. Pen and paper is slightly cheaper than a computer. Compare the education system in Scotland to England and the Ireland “Leaving certificate” against the A level. Ireland require every student to learn Irish, play a musical instrument and will excel in six other subjects. The stewardship is brutal…however the outcome is that there are more Irish millionaires than any other Country and for some reason every US President has Irish ancestry. Your vlog is a regular part of my day at least someone mainstream talks sense and actually cares: thanks James.

standard conservative petulance

O’Brien’s empathy and compassion for brexiteers borders on saintly.

This is exactly the definition of a gaslit population.

Utterly superb summary Mr. O

A wonderfully passionate diatribe of the idiocies of modern media, James - well done! 🤣 I agree with you, and our poor, benighted, UK is being ripped to shreds by the Tory Party, with the help of Media Barons, who don't even domicile, or pay taxes, here! 😡 If only we could cancel Politics, tear up the Law Books, & start again!

Just to point out when they claim Corporation tax will reduce investment. The country in Europe with the highest inward investment is France who's corporation tax is one of the highest in Europe at 27.5%. This is because businesses don't care about profit they care about increasing the stock price for their shareholders, many modern companies don't even have dividends, so profit matters even less.

Eh.... French multinationals, eg. the top 40 French companies quoted in the Paris stock Exchange. the CAC 40, paid an effective 4.5% corporation tax in 2021. 🤣

One point of correction, you can’t pay a dividend without having some profit to pay it from. To say they “don’t have dividends, so profit matters even less” is to get it backwards. It makes more sense to say “they don’t have profit, so dividends matter even less”. They would be reducing their profit by paying dividends (and thus avoiding corporation tax).

From Australia here, I presume that if an election was held now in the UK the Conservatives would be reduced to a fringe party in the House of Commons?

I'm sorry to say that I've come to the conclusion that, the general public lack intelligence - obviously there are exemptions to this statement. Just a couple of statements to back my point: 1) People voted to become poorer- Brexit. 2) The population, which is suffering financially overall, are voting for The Tories. Is there a way forward?

Truss studied PPE at Oxford. As she didn't appreciate the Philosophy, understand the Politics, or have the teeniest grasp on real world Economics, how on Earth was she awarded her degree?

James your stating of the facts has always been your strength. Please keep highlighting these bilge pushers.

The final part has a definite biblical golden calf worship feel

Yawn. I used to like Jimmy. But his shows are mostly political now. He loves to nag on about Brexit. Over 6 years and he still has a winge to feed his ego in an attempt to be right... But, UK GDP is out pacing Germany along with lower unemployment rate. So, that’s the EU biggest contributor lagging UK with 20 million more people. Relative comparison is UK is doing just fine post Brexit.

Its hilarious how badly Brexit has gone

Love how James O'Brien always calls Brexit a Self-inflicted wound The UK did to itself by Brexiteers who've been in denial since the Referendum.

Perfectly said. It’s very hard to find the right words, but you’ve summed it up beautifully. It’s so sad that this country could Be overrun by these psychopaths :(

Is James talking about the woke movement? Denying reality, spewing obvious lies.... He must be.

There's absolutely no point blaming or criticising Brexiters. They'll only say it's a "remoaner" plot. Never argue with them. Let those with the intellectual capacity, finally work it out for themselves. Anything else is sadly counter-productive.

brilliant commentary

Very well articulated. Agree 100% with the vampire analogy
